Cloud sat in front of the computer. Ever since the defeat of Sephiroth and Meteor, the technology Shinra possessed was now available for whoever wanted it. Using an old Shinra computer Red XIII and Bugenhagen fixed, Cloud logged onto the network.
Was there any information here he could use? Cloud browsed over a list of popular sites, when one of them caught his eye: "Aeris Shrine." It only made sense that people would want to honor a fallen hero, especially one like Aeris. He clicked on the link.
Fond memories came back to Cloud as he looked over the pictures and poems dedicated to Aeris. One section of the site, however, caught his eye. "How to revive Aeris."
******************************************************
HOW TO REVIVE ARIES
1. Get 50 tissues from God Saucer
2. Go pick a flower from Areis's garden by her house in Midgar
3. Go to teh church in Midgar and put the flower on the flowerbed
4. Sleep in the bed in the bed in the Forgotten City
5. Throw a mastered Revive Materia in the water where Aeris was put to rest. It will turn inot a White Materia that you can revive Aeris with.
******************************************************
What in the world? It was possible to revive Aeris? This sounded strange, even illogical, but with an occult people like the Ancients this may even make sense. He had to get everyone else to look at this.
"Tifa! You've got to look at his!"
Tifa opened the door and walked in. "What is it, Cloud?"
Cloud pointed at the screen. "This. It says we can revive Aeris."
"What?"
The next day, the old group was gathered in Cloud's villa. Cloud cut straight to the point as he showed everyone the website. The others looked at it, and gave their opinions.
"I for one don't believe it," said Red XIII. "Aeris has returned to the Lifestream. It was her soul that summoned Holy. She has passed on."
"She's gone, Cloud," said Barret. "And it don't help none tryin' fool things like this to bring her back."
"Even if it is possible, should we?" asked Vincent. "Let the dead rest in peace."
"Don't any of you care about Aeris?" Cloud implored. "This may not make much sense to us right now. It may not even be true. But all of us, we have a chance to bring back Aeris. Is there any harm in trying?"
And so, they set off on the Quest to Revive Aeris. Step 1 was already taken care of, as Cloud still had a pocket load of tissues from the Battle Square of the Gold Saucer that he won as pathetic "consolation prizes." How ironic it would be if these tissues actually played a part in reviving Aeris, thought Cloud as the Highwind set course for Midgar.
Cloud, Barret, and Tifa made their way to Aeris's house in Sector 5. Or at least, to where the house used to be. Meteor and Holy left precious little of Midgar standing. Thank goodness Elmyra and Marlene left long beforehand, reflected Barret as Cloud picked a flower from the untouched garden.
The Sector 5 church was miraculous untouched by the recent Armageddon. Cloud solemnly placed the flower from the garden in the flowerbed. Cloud stayed at the flowerbed a bit longer. This is the same place he thought he saw Aeris after... Well, he may soon have the chance to see her again.
Cloud, Tifa, and Vincent made up the party that ventured into the Forgotten City. Cloud led them to the bed where he slept right before Aeris was killed. Cloud lay down, but all the thoughts of Aeris swirling in his head made it hard for him to sleep. Finally, he did doze off, and took a short nap.
Only one thing left to do... When Cloud arose, he walked to the Shell House where laid his dear friend Aeris to rest. Cloud looked down at the water, and tossed the green Revive Materia into the liquid.
The green stone submerged under the water briefly, then floated back up to the top. It was still green. The three sat and watched the material for a few minutes, and not once did it do anything but float and stay green. Cloud looked up at the sky through a hole in the roof. What cruel person came up with this joke?

This humor's kind of dark for me. So, what do you think? I just got bored of all those "revive Aeris" rumors and wrote this little fic.
