"Cloud, Cloud, could you come here for a second?" Aeris called.
"Yes Aeris, is anything the matter?" Cloud couldn't help but smile at her.
"That was Vincent, he said he had got Yuffie and then mumbled something about something." She explained
"Well that's great!" Cloud exclaimed hugging her tightly.
"Well, yes and I thought now everyone's okay we could maybe go for a romantic picnic?" She suggested holding the basket of food up.
"I'd like that, we finally have time to be together." Cloud kissed her cheek.
Aeris smiled happily, "Well lets go!" She exclaimed, grabbing his hand. She pulled him to the door.
Before she had the chance to open it the bell rang.
She opened the door to see Yuffie, Vincent and Reno.
The light died in her eyes. She had already guessed why he had been bought along.
The whole group came to investigate and welcome home Yuffie.
She had a lot of explaining to do about why HE was here.
She explained and everyone, after a lot of persuading, they agreed to her idea.
All except Cloud and Aeris.
"Yuffie, I'd really like to help but, Cloud and I have a lot of catching up to do." Aeris said blushing, she felt bad.
"Ohh, I'm sorry Aeris, I didn't think about that." Yuffie felt guilty for even thinking it.
every one sat in silence.
"Uh, excuse me but could I help?" Tifa spoke up finally, she felt useless and longed to help the group like she had done in the past.
"Would you?" Yuffie gasped.
"Well if Reno doesn't mind, I'm not exactly leader material but I could offer some advice." Tifa smiled
"Did you hear that, see not all is lost." Yuffie smiled as she poked Reno on the nose.
He felt like an idiot, "Thank you, you are all so forgiving, I think I have already learnt a lot."
Aeris smiled, maybe this was a good idea.
They were soon off on their picnic.

Yuffie and Vincent had also decided to take a walk.
"Can you believe Tifa? I would have thought she would have been the last person I would have expected to offer help to Reno!" Yuffie wondered aloud.
"Why? Tifa's a very caring person." Vincent replied.
"Yeah, I never felt like she truly liked me though." Yuffie sighed.
"I'm sure she does, people just find it hard to trust people twice." Vincent said softly, he didn't want to hurt her.
"Oh, yeah....." She suddenly felt very alone.
"Damn!" Vincent thought to himself, He could see Yuffie was in a horrible lonely place, Vincent knew that place all to well.
"But I trust you Yuffie." He whispered.
"I know, Thank you Vincent." Yuffie smiled.
Vincent smiled back.
They continued to walk on through the park.
"Vincent, I like that name, what's your middle name?" Yuffie decided to change the subject.
"Do you promise not to laugh if I tell you?" Vincent sighed
"I promise, now come on tell me?" Yuffie smiled, this was an interesting game.
"My name is Vincent Victor Valentine." He blushed
"That's cool, V's suit you." Yuffie looked up at him.
"You really think so, Kids at school used to make fun of me and call me a posh snob." Vincent blushed even more.
"Awwwww, I could never imagine anyone picking on you." Yuffie commented.
"They wouldn't now." Vincent smiled tapping his gun.
She smiled "Yeah, they would get a serious butt kicking," Yuffie joked waving her shuriken around.
Vincent smiled widely at her. He loved the fact she was returning to normal. He would let anything bad happen to her ever again.

"So Reno, what do you want to talk about?" Tifa started, she was beginning to regret volunteering.
"Uh, I don't know." He stuttered.
"Why don't you tell me why you feel so, um, depressed." Tifa didn't know what words to use.
"I had a job, which I loved." Reno sighed he had to let people help him.
"Reno, Shinra was a strong company but it's gone now." Tifa explained
Reno looked away, this wasn't helping.
"Uh, what I mean is that even if things are gone it doesn't always mean its gone forever, If you wanted you could help to rebuild the company." Tifa changed her approach.
Reno's attention was caught once more. "How?"
"Well you and Rufus and Reeve and the other Turks, well what I mean is that you could work together to remake ShinRa, but with new rules so it won't cause suffering." Tifa went on.
"I don't know if we can." Reno replied.
"Do you truly desire to be a really Turk, working for a better, cleaner world. A better cleaner ShinRa?" Tifa was filled with idea's.
"Yes, I really do, More than anything!" Reno's eyes were filled with help.
"Then look around you Reno, Look at North Corel, all this was achieved by dreams and people working together." Tifa opened the window for Reno to look.
"Do you really think it would work?" Reno stared out over the beautiful town.
"You could get the scientist back together, they could find a healthy way to produce power." Tifa exclaimed
"I think it could happen." Reno's mind was turning.
"Could? I know it will. I had a lot idea's about how ShinRa could create power without destroying the planet. But I was an AVALANCHE member and a mere bar maid." Tifa sighed.
"Really, well if you tell me we could get down some preliminary idea's now." Reno said turning to face her.
"You'd really listen to me?" Tifa venerably asked.
"Of course, you've listened to me and I know not everything will be solved in one day but I think with your help I'm of to quite the start." Reno looked back out over the town.
Tifa smiled, it was good to be listened to.
"Well I'll get some paper and a pen and we can write down some idea's!" Tifa said going through a draw and pulling the said items out.
Reno rushed over to the table and sat down. They were soon on a roll with plan's.

"Aeris that was the best picnic ever!" Cloud exclaimed. he was leaning against a tree with Aeris on his lap.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it." She giggled.
Cloud twisted his finger around one of her bangs and let it twirl out.
Aeris did the same to his main spike.
"Teehee, there's so much gel, My hands stuck!" Aeris teased.
Cloud laughed and tickled her ribs.
Aeris jumped up and ran behind the tree.
Cloud got up and snuck around trying to get her of guard.
He was greeted by a bundle of Autumn leaves in his face.
He picked some up and threw them at her.
She squealed as they stuck to her.
The wind blew hard blowing the leaves away and pushing Cloud close to her.
He hugged her tightly and swept her of her feet, The wind blew around them lifting the leaves so they span around them.
"The planet is happy that were finally together." Aeris smiled.
"Thank the planet for giving me the greatest gift in the world, you." Cloud asked.
"The planet knew it would make me happy, and you happy and itself happy, it's our love story." Aeris mused
"The sweetest, most perfect one ever told." Cloud added.
