A/N: Hehe. I'm updating a lot faster than I thought. I'm keeping myself in suspense. AH!
To Prozacfairy: Yes, Poor Ickle Aeris... sniffle This isn't so bad. You should read my songfic, Hotel Paper. That's a poor ickle Aeris story.
To Emrelle Elendal: That's a good idea! And when you say for Seph to always hit Seymour... it makes me think of the Amanda show where the one guy hits the other guy, and the other guy asks "What was that for?" and the first guy says "for being an idiot!"
I can see someone saying that to Seymour blehehe. But it's a little ooc so many I won't have him hit Seymour (darn) but having them in there is a good idea. I read your fanfic (the contest thingy one). Your a very humorous writer! squeezes Tidus plushie YAY!
Chapter 7 is a little bit shorter than 6 but a LOT happens. Hope you enjoy it!!
Chapter Seven
Unwanted Reunion
"Yuna."
"Five... more... minutes..." Yuna groaned.
"Yuna!"
Yawning, Yuna opened her eyes to see Buddy standing in front of her. "What is it?" she asked.
"Shinra's done it," Buddy said. "The Time-Porter works."
"Can't it wait a little longer? Nobody else is awake..."
Buddy shook his head. "Well if Brother--"
"YUNA!"
This caused everyone to jump awake. "What's going on?" Aeris wondered.
Brother, who was standing in the doorway, now angrily stomped in. "Yuna! Ruf luimt oui cmaab fedr res?!"
Yuna, who now had a good understanding of the Al Bhed language, remembered falling asleep next to Tidus. "It's not what it looks like!" she argued.
"Ur E's cina!" he spat, pounding his feet on the ground as he left.
Buddy shrugged. "I tried to warn you."
"What's wrong with him?" asked Tidus.
Yuna sighed, "He's angry. I suppose he's jealous of you as well."
"Oh," Tidus said, a bit confused.
Rikku and Paine quickly ran into their hut as well, hearing Brother. Rikku's eyes widened as she saw the sight. Tidus still had his arm around Yuna's shoulders and he was shirtless. Yuna's hair was a mess, sticking out everywhere. "Yunie, Yunie, Yunie..." Rikku shook her head, disappointed. "I realize it's been five years but you should have waited--"
"Rikku! Nothing like that happened!" Tidus said quickly in their defense.
"So fast to defend yourself?" Paine teased.
"Don't worry, nothing happened," Aeris said, standing up and stretching.
"Well now that everyone is awake," Buddy said, "The Time-Porter is functioning. You need to come to the Celcius as fast as possible."
"The Time-Porter? That crazy invention Shinra's been working on?" Rikku asked.
"Yup. We're down at the beach. Hurry up," Buddy said, walking out.
"Okay!" Rikku exclaimed, punching a fist in the air. She ran excitedly out of the hut to change.
Paine smiled and followed her out.
Yuna rubbed her eyes. Her head hurt. Probably just a slight hangover. She stood up and stretched, "Well guess we better get dressed," she said, pushing Aeris into the next room. "We'll get you some clothes later today. For now, just pick something out to wear."
"Okay," Aeris said, picking out a pair of denim shorts and a green tank.
Yuna walked into another small room and changed into yellow spagetti strap top and khaki shorts. She came out to see Aeris brushing out her long hair, reminding her slightly of Lenne. I hope we can help you Aeris... she thought to herself. As she passed a mirror, she couldn't help but laugh at her hair.
She heard more laughter behind her, from Tidus. "Like Auron said, 'We'll leave as soon as Lady Yuna fixes her hair'."
Yuna stuck her tounge out and looked at him. He was dressed in a pair of black shorts, much like the ones he always wore, and a dark blue tee. "I'm so glad you like it." She brushed the knots out of her hair.
Aeris smiled at the two as she braided her hair in its normal style. "Ready?" she said, nervously.
Yuna flashed a grin. "Don't worry. Shinra is the greatest. We'll be back in your time before you know it."
"Who's Shinra?" Tidus asked.
The former summoner threw her hands up in surrender. "You aren't very good with names," she laughed, "Shinra is the short Al Bhed kid who is part of the Gullwings."
"Ohh," Tidus said with a smirk. "I remember."
The trio walked out of the hut and followed the path past the falls to the beach. It seemed everyone on the island was out for a morning walk. Yuna waved and said her hellos to most people. There were some tourists she didn't know but smiled anyways.
Aeris looked at every person's face and did her best to remember names from the party the night before. But one face made her stop dead in her tracks.
"Hello Lady Yuna," said a pale faced man with long silver hair.
Yuna bobbed her head, "Good morning," she smiled.
"I'm new to Besaid, but I heard it's wonderful here," he said.
"It's like a small paradise, really."
Aeris walked backward until she bumped into the fence that kept her from falling.
"Are you okay?" he asked Aeris.
She nodded her head slowly. "I'm fine," Aeris said, almost in a trance.
"Well my lady, I must be going. I'll be glad to talk with you and your friends again," he said, walking back down the path.
Aeris let out a breath, holding her hand against her chest. "I don't believe it..." she whispered.
"Aeris, what's wrong?" Tidus asked. "Did you know that guy?"
The flower girl bit her lip and shook her head. "I don't think so."
"Well okay," Yuna said, her emerald-sapphire eyes full of worry. "We're almost to the beach, c'mon!"
They walked the rest of the way in silence, then ran to the Celsius.
Aeris stopped again, standing in shin-deep water. She looked around her. That couldn't have been... him, could it? She watched Tidus and Yuna walk onto the airship. Closing her eyes, she did her best to catch her breath and calm her heart. Slowly walking onto the airship, she listened to the conversation going on.
"Does it really work Shinra?" Yuna asked.
"Of course works," a boy's voice laughed.
A different voice, that Aeris somehow reconized, spoke. "Lady Yuna..."
"Who the hell are... Rikku! Paine!" Yuna cried.
"Yu...nie..." whimpered Rikku's weak voice.
"AHHH!" Brother screeched. Aeris saw a light under the door and heard a clunk on the ground.
"What's going on?" she said, running into the room. Her body froze as she looked at the scene. Brother lay on the ground, a red liquid pouring from a hole in his side. Rikku and Paine were thrown against the wall, their faces full of blood. Aeris looked up slowly, seeing Yuna and Tidus at the mercy of a sharp katana blade. Her vision inched up the blade to the person who held it.
"Hello Aeris," said the silver haired man. Sephiroth.
"NO!" she screamed.
"I've waited five thousand years for you to come back. And this time you will help me bring back the Promised Land," Sephiroth smirked, his voice dark.
Aeris crossed her arms on her chest. "I'll never let you win!" she cried. "Great Gospel! Save my friends and take this monster back to the Lifestream!"
"Never!" he shouted, slashing his katana at her.
"Aeris!" Tidus and Yuna called in unison.
That's him. Sephiroth. The man who killed Aeris, the thought screamed in Yuna's mind.
She felt the cold metal cut through her shirt as a soft liquid trickled down her shirt. Looking down, she saw it had only cut across her stomach. Aeris spread her arms out wide as a bright heavenly light covered the room. But Sephiroth was quicker.
Sephiroth spun quickly on his heel, thrusting his katana at Tidus, stabbing him in the chest.
"Tidus!" Yuna shrieked. No... she thought, unable to speak, You can't take him from me...
"Great Gospel! Please!" Aeris yelled, tears falling from her eyes.
He knew she hated seeing death. That was her downfall. "Lady Yuna, the savior of Spira. You can stay with your friends, in the Farplane!" he shouted, bringing his katana back.
So this is how it will end... Yuna thought, watching the katana come at her.
"Yuna!" Everything happened in slow motion. Aeris saw Sephiroth pull back his blade and thrust it toward her newest friend. She leapt in front of Yuna, hoping she could stop the blow from hitting her. And suddenly everything happened at once. She felt the force of Sephiroth's strike throw her into Yuna, smashing both to the ground.
Aeris' eyes fell shut as her breath began to shorten. Her mouth tasted of blood, which was starting to gag her. Even through her closed eyes, she could see the light fade away. She tried her hardest to keep conscious, but the darkness won. Everything went black.

Ruf luimt oui cmaab fedr res?! -- How could you sleep with him?!
Ur E's cina! -- Oh I'm sure!
A/N: sniffles I hope you guys liked that chapter. I suppose it happened a little fast. But I am plotting against you guys. Now you have to wait until tommorow for another chappie. The suspense is killing me too...
I won't be able to write a chapter on Friday (the 14th) because I'm going on a field trip from 7 am to about midnight. sigh Have to watch a crappy Brewers game. And what does the baseball team name "Brewers" tell you about Wisconsin? Eh? Anyways, keep reviewing! I love hearing what you guys have to say!
