Okay, so it's taken me a long while to post, but I've been busy with school and work. Let's recap, quickly, Rina is headed home with Cloud and Tifa. She was created to take over the world with Sephiroth, but for some reason Tifa accidentally blocked her memory. Great job! Now let's see what happens at home!

"How do you know when they're done?" Rina pressed her face against the stove door.

"Rina! Not so close!" Tifa helped her stand up, "You just have to wait for the timer to go off."

"Agh! They're done!" Slipping on oven mitts Tifa opened the oven door and carefully pulled out her creation. Once out of the oven she carefully examined each individual cookie. Biting her lip, Rina watched as Tifa placed the cookie on a baker's rack and measured each cookie's diameter. Next Tifa straightened up ad folded her arms. All was silent.

"PERFECT!" With sparkling eyes Tifa and Rina took the cookies off the sheet and placed them neatly on a plate which was posed center on the kitchen table.

"Wow! They look so good! When can I make some?" Rina asked with a smile.

"Maybe later, but now you can help me cook dinner. It'll be so much fun." Tifa answered as Cloud walked in.

"What are you doing? Hey cookies!"

"No!" Tifa screamed as Rina dove for the table, lifting it above her head. Sweat drops appeared as Cloud and Tifa looked at her.

"You can't have any until after dinner because it will ruin your appetite." Rina said sternly as she put the table back down with everything on top still in its place.

"Man," Cloud said, "okay, I'll wait until later then."

"Thank you daddy!" Rina kissed him on the cheek and went to Tifa's cooking aid.

Whoa, daddy? Yeah, he wasn't ready for that.

The ancient city was silent. Not a living creature lurked there as the sun shone on every inch of it. The city was truly a beautiful sight that no one living could admire, only lost souls looking for the life stream.

Each soul in itself was truly a sight to see. A soft, shiny green, each one had lost most of they're identifiable features until they all were reduced to a mere blur. A small blur made its way slowly through the shells looking for the way out. Searching and searching it found a large shell sitting alone. Inside a clear staircase was found leading down. The presence of the life stream was strong here, and it descended the stairs and made its way into the water, searching.

"That's not the way." A brown headed woman said as she stood dripping nearby. The blur stopped, taking in what she told it, then turned and left up the stairs with the woman close behind it. She stopped half way up and looked back for a moment, then turned and headed back up the stairs, her long hair dragging behind her.

"I wonder if any of them will remember me."

"Cookies and milk!" Rina handed Cloud a plate and a glass.

"Thanks, these look really good." Cloud said.

"They had better look good, those are my special recipe." Tifa said at the sink.

"Guess what?" Rina stared straight at Cloud. Cloud looked back at her with a worried and confused expression.

"Uh, what?" He carefully asked.

"I get to go shopping tomorrow!" Rina jumped around the house. "It's going to be so much fun!"

"What?" Cloud looked to Tifa.

"I told her she could come to the store with me," Tifa started, "and she needs some clothes anyway so I thought we could get it all tomorrow."

"Is that a good idea?" Cloud walked up to his wife. "She was just introduced to the world yesterday, maybe she should stay here, or at my office."

"We'll be fine. We'll only be out for a few hours and we'll come straight home." Tifa said.

"Okay then, now when you say 'we'," Cloud got worried again, "who are you referring to?"

"We need some one to carry our bags Cloud."

"Tifa! I hate shopping!"

"You're coming with us."

"Can't you take a body guard or something?"

"You can be our body guard."

"Do you know what happened to the last person that told me that?"

"Sephiroth isn't hunting us down, so this will be different."

"Yeah, it'll be worse."

"Cloud, shut up and eat your cookies."

"Of course, I just had to be stuck in the middle of nowhere." Aerith looked around her until she spotted a cozy little house, resting be itself. "Oh great! It looks like someone is home too!"

She trudged through the snow and up to the house. Once at the door she knocked three times and waited with a smile.

No one answered. She knocked again.

Still no one answered.

"Third times the charm." Aerith knocked again.

No one answered. Aerith quickly lost her pertinence and began beating the door.

"Hello!" She shouted. "Isn't anyone home?" The door slowly creaked open. A short purple thing in a hat looked up at her.

"Hi! I haven't had company in years! C'mon in!" it said.

"Thank you, I hope you don't mind if I could stay here for the night, maybe?" Aerith asked, following it in the door. "Well sure you can. Name's Chocobo Sage, what's yours?" the Sage asked.

"My name's Aerith, pleased to meet you." She smiled.

"Who's Aerith?"

"Um," she started," I am."

"Are what?"

"I'm Aerith."

"I don't know Aerith."

"That's because we just met."

"Who met?"

"We did."

"You and the Chocobo?"

"No, me and you."

"We what?"

"Umm... hey! That's a pretty Chocobo you've got."

"What's a Chocobo?"

"What?"

"I can't quite seem to remember."

"Erm..."

Sorry, but this is it for today. Thanks for reading it and I promise to make the next better! Bye!
