"We're back!" Cloud yelled in the house.

"Where did you two go off to?" Barret grinned along side with Vincent and Cid.

"We just-" Cloud started.

"We go to park! I pick pretty flowers for all of you!" Aeris grinned. "This one for Barret!" Aeris said handing him a flower. "This one for Yuffie!" Aeris did the same. "And this one for Cid, Vincent, Red, Me and Cloud!" Aeris grinned as she saw everyone around her smiling with flowers at hand. Everyone that is except for Tifa.

"What's all this racket about?" Tifa demanded to know. Everyone forgot about her so they turned in question. "Grr! I don't see what's so great about flowers!" Tifa yelled.

"Whoa! Take chill pill!" Cid grinned laughing at Tifa's anger.

"Yea! Suck it up buttercup!" Cloud joined in the jokes. Tifa gasped and stomped back into her room.

"Man Cloud, that was harsh. Maybe you should have lightened up on the harsh words." Vincent said grinning.

"Maybe, but she was being a prick all day!" Cloud said shaking his head in disapproval. "Such a prick." Cloud continued shaking his head.

"Yea, um we didn't find Sephiroth." Barret commented.

"In fact, I don't really think that Sephiroth did this. Why would he change someone into a chibi girl?" Cloud wondered. Cid, Vincent and Barret looked to one another.

"Um. We have a small confection to make Cloud." Vincent stated.

"What's that?" Cloud asked. Just then the wall exploded.

"Ha! Ha! I the Great One Sephiroth is here!" Sephiroth stated grinning. "I will destroy you all and terrorize your friends and family!" Sephiroth continued.

"Um, couldn't you have just knocked instead of breaking the wall down buddy?" Cloud asked.

"Um, I suppose." Sephiroth thought. "Hey! Wait a sec! What happened to Aeris?!" Sephiroth asked shocked. "Now I can't turn the girl into a pig to make Cloud sad." Sephiroth whispered tears in his eyes.

"I don't like her! Why does everyone think so!" Cloud said angrily.

"You no no like me?" Aeris said crying.

"No! I didn't say that! All I said was that-" Cloud said back.

"No! You said you don't like me!" Aeris said wiggling out of him arms and running out the door.

"It would have been faster for her to run out the hole I made in your wall, but hey! My work here is done for today! Buhahahahahahaha!" Sephiroth said flying away.

" Smart one Cloud." Barret added.

"Yea, smart." Cid said.

"About the confection." Cloud pointed out.

"Ask Vincent!" Both Barret and Cid run up to their rooms.

"Vincent?" Cloud asked.

"Um, yes?" Vincent shook, his face pale.

"About the confection?" Cloud asked.

"Um, I'll get it over with! Barret, Cid and I thought of turning Aeris into a monster, you know. Like in the movie we watched Beauty and the Beast. So we thought that you'd tell her that you love her. But our spell went wrong and we turned her into a chibi girl. I'm sorry Cloud." Vincent said.

"Sigh, It's ok I guess." Cloud said. "But I don't think I um, have feeling for her." Cloud said.

"Yes you do! We all know you do, except for Tifa, she's denying it." Vincent said.

"Fine, maybe it's just a little crush ok?" Cloud said blushing.

"The only way to break the spell is to tell her that you love her. Like in that way, and you really do have to truly love her. And the thing is, she has to love you back in that way too." Vincent said putting on a nervous grin.

"I'm so gonna kill all you guys, I'm gonna omni slash your ugly asses! But for now I have to go after Aeris!" Cloud said angrily opening the door and running out.

"It would have been faster if you ran out the hole!" Vincent yelled.

"Shut up!" A faint echo was heard.

AN: Should I just end the chapter here? I'll be nice and continue cause I haven't updated in such a long time.

***In the park

-

"Aeris! Aeris!" Cloud yelled. It started to rain and it was all dark and foggy outside. He was drenched to the bone, but he continued looking for her. "Aeris!" Cloud yelled again exiting the park. He walked around not knowing what to do. But something pink caught his eye. It was Aeris, at least he thought so. She was hiding in a cardboard box near some bushes.

"Aeris!" Cloud yelled reaching the box. He heard sobs from within. "Aeris?" Cloud asked. "Aeris, come out of there, you're going to catch cold. We wouldn't want that." Cloud said with concern. "I wouldn't want that." Cloud said.

"You said that you no no like me!" Aeris yelled. This caught the attention of other people walking on the streets, they stopped to watch.

"But I do Aeris. I like you. But they said that I like you and that way." Cloud whispered noticing the people watching.

"No!" Aeris yelled again. The people on the street seemed to enjoy this like some movie.

"Aeris let's go home now before you catch cold!" Cloud commanded.

"Cloud is mad at Aeris." Aeris cried within the box.

"No! I just don't want you catching cold!" Cloud yelled leaning against the box.

"But you catch cold. You leave me here." Aeris said sorrowfully.

"Aeris, we are going back together, hurry up and get out of that box." Cloud said a little irritated.

Silence.

"Come on Aeris. Now is not the time or place to talk." Cloud said picking the box up looking at the crying Aeris. "Let's go home." Cloud said more quietly. Aeris climbed out of the cardboard box Cloud was carrying and wrapped her arms around his neck. Cloud dropped the box (In a garbage can of course) and walked off with Aeris.

"Achoo!" Aeris sneezed.

"I'll get you home." Cloud said hugging her tightly.

"Why Cloud go look for Aeris?" Aeris asked her eyes drowsy.

"Because I was worried." Cloud said turning the corner.

Silence.

Cloud looked into his arms and found the little girl fast asleep in his arms. Breathing peacefully and rhythmatically. He turned he doorknob and opened the door. Everyone was sleeping for the moment; he'd handle everything tomorrow. He put Aeris to bed and tucked her in. "Good night Aeris." Cloud said kissing the little girls forehead.

"Night night." Aeris whispered back.

Cloud smiled and began to leave the room.

"Cloud?" Aeris asked.

"What is it?" Cloud asked nicely.

"Will you stay with Aeris? She scared to be alone again." Aeris asked.

"Sure thing squirt." Cloud said pulling a chair next to Aeris' bedside.
