Chapter 12

Reunions…

"Rueh! Stop this crazy thing!"

"It didn't come with brakes Dete!"

"I don't care! Just stop!" Dete snapped.

After going a few more feet Rueh finally brought the chocobo to a complete stop. Dete got off as soon as it did while grumbling. Rueh slid off and pat the chocobo on top of its head ignoring Dete. They were now back in Nibelheim.

"We're back," Sephiroth said and shook his shoulders a bit.

"Mmmhmm," Aeris said as she was roused from her sleep. She had fallen asleep against his back on the ride back to Nibelheim. She slid off the chocobo and he got off after her.

He sighed. "Now for another search for Rueh and Dete," he started walking towards the mansion.

"No wait! There they are!" Aeris exclaimed as they walked out of the inn.

Rueh and Dete saw them and started walking towards them.

"Are you 2 okay?" Sephiroth asked.

"Yeah…" Dete said. Rueh just nodded.

"We should talk to Cloud and Tifa before we leave to tell them that we found everyone," Aeris suggested. The other 3 groaned.

They followed her to Cloud and Tifa's house. She knocked on the door. Tifa answered it. "Aeris! Is everything all right?" she asked.

"Yes. We're fine," Aeris smiled as Sephiroth put his arm around her waist.

"Just what's going on with you 2?" Cloud asked as he walked up behind Tifa.

"Maybe we should explain…" Aeris said warily.

"Oh come in!" Tifa said and moved to the side to let them in. They went to the living room and made themselves comfortable.

"So what happened with Hojo and WHY are you 2 not yelling at each other?" Cloud asked giving Sephiroth and Aeris a confused look.

"Hojo was going to experiment on Rueh and Dete and me. But I called Sephiroth and he came and well…helped stop Hojo," Aeris shrugged at the shortened version of what had happened.

"And you 2 made up?" Tifa asked.

"Yeah. Remember that note you sent me?" Sephiroth asked. Tifa nodded.

Cloud spoke up. "What note?"

Sephiroth ignored him. "Anyways she misunderstood it. That's what caused our argument and break up."

"What note?" Cloud asked.

"It's nothing," Tifa said. "So you're back together again?"

Aeris nodded. "I was mad at him for no reason but we're going to start over in Midgar," she replied.

"That's good. I hope it works out this time," Tifa said.

"What note?" Cloud asked trying to get her attention.

"It should. Well we just wanted to stop by and tell you everything's back to normal so we'll be going now," Aeris said standing up. Sephiroth followed her to the door. Rueh and Dete followed after him. Neither had said anything for awhile now…

Tifa and Cloud walked them to the door. When it closed Cloud turned to her. "What note?" he asked.

"I told you it's nothing," she sighed.

"What was he talking about?" he asked as he narrowed his eyes.

Tifa rolled her eyed and shook her head. It was going to be a long evening.

                                    -4 months later-

"Tell me again why we are here?"

"Oh Cloud! We're just here for a friendly visit!" Tifa exclaimed.

"Right…" Cloud knocked on the door. It was suddenly jerked open.

"WHAT? Oh! Cloud! Tifa! I'm sorry!" Aeris quickly apologized.

"It's okay…is something wrong?" Tifa asked.

Aeris sighed. "Just a little disagreement. Hang on," she went into the next room and they followed. What they found made them stare in shock.

Rueh and Dete were standing ten feet apart and were yelling at each other. Sephiroth stood with his back to the room and looking out the window. His arms were crossed. Aeris walked up to him.

"Anyways…if YOU hadn't…"

"Oh don't you even start saying the stuff I shouldn't have done! What was I supposed to do?" Sephiroth spun around to face her.

"You could have just let him be!"

"Let him be!? After what he did…after what YOU did!"

"ME? I didn't do anything!"

"Oh sure…act innocent…"

"Nothing happened between me and him!"

"I'm sure it didn't!" Sephiroth snapped sarcastically.

"I never did anything else with Cloud besides that!" Aeris snapped back.

Cloud and Tifa looked at each other confused. What were they arguing about?

"So you admit that you did go on that date with Cloud!" Sephiroth exclaimed.

"Yes I did but that was all!"

"What date Cloud?" Tifa asked.

He shrugged. "I don't know."

"Something tells me you do."

"What? Tifa…"

"Don't you Tifa me…"

Their son, Tronel, walked into the room after having been let into the building by one of the guards. Everyone was arguing. He went over to Rueh and Dete to see if he could get them to say what was happening…that was a bad mistake. A fight ensued.

After awhile they all calmed down. But not even 5 minutes later they were all fighting again.

And so that concludes this story…everyone lived happily ever after…(riiight)…
