Cloud: God... Life has been a bitch ever since.. We left Midgar... That's not even the half of it. Damn girls swooning over me..

Cloud continued to walk through Cosmo canyon, unaware he was being watched.

Cloud: Barret's right... Jessie, Biggs and Wedge did deserve to see this place one more time. It's not half bad...

Red XIII: Of course it isn't. You think my ancestor's wouldn't protect a place if it wasn't special..?

Cloud: The hell..? Where'd you come from...

Red XIII: .... Behind the bush... It's only a matter of time I leave the group..

Cloud: Yeah.... *confused*

Red XIII: Well, I just wanted to thank you, since you're kinda everyone's leader...

Cloud: No problem. You saved our ass at Shinra, so it's the least-

Red XIII: Whatever...

Red walked off, back into his cliff-side house.

Cloud: ..... Hmm... I guess I should head back too...

Cloud headed back to the Bonfire, to see Yuffie, Cait Sith, Barret, Aeris and Tifa.

Barret: Welcome back white boy.

Cloud:......

Tifa: Did you see Red XIII?

Cloud: Yeah. He left after a sec...

Aeris: He's probably sad about leaving us.

Barret: We've all had hardships damnit! You just gotta suck it up!

Yuffie: *rolling her eyes* Does that include blowing too...? Man, I'm gonna miss Red.

Cait Sith: We all are... Cept me, I never knew em.

Tifa: You should go talk to him Cloud.

Cloud: *gives Tifa the WTF!? Look* No...

Tifa: Well someone has to... Barret...?

Barret: No way! I'm no good with this shit... How 'bout Yuffie..?

Yuffie: What the crap? Why me?

Cloud: You stole our Materia...

Barret: You locked us in a cage...

Tifa: You got us in trouble with the Turks...

Cid: You threw up all over my plane...

Cloud: What the hell? Where did you come from!?

Cid: I uhhh.... Yuffie go talk to him!

Yuffie:.... Fine... *under her breath* $%#@ers...

Red was sitting on the highest cliff in the town, watching the stars. Yuffie climbed up to see him.

Yuffie: Yo Red! Wassup!?

RedXIII: Oh.. Hello Yuffie...

Yuffie: I heard you were bummed about leaving..

RedXIII: Apparently gossip gets around fast.

Yuffie: You know, you can always come...

RedXIII: No... The village needs my protection..

Yuffie: The village survived before without you. It can now, right?

RedXIII:.....

Yuffie: Oh sorry....

Grandpa: She's right Nanaki.

RedXIII: What the... Grandpa?

Grandpa: Nanaki, I want you to see the world, just as your parents did. You are still very young.

RedXIII: But I... What if you're not here when I get back?

Grandpa: Whatever happens happens. Don't let my death hinder your life. You were raised better.

Yuffie: So Red... No, Nanaki. Want to join us again?

RedXIII:.....

Grandpa: You are going Nanaki. Enjoy yourself.

RedXIII: Thanks grandpa... Thanks Yuffie... I'm ready to go now...
