Scene two: ------------------------------

His fingers softly caressed the tattered edge of a slowly fading calendar. Funny, he thought, the color shouldn't be draining, barely any light shone through the small windows of his cabin. He smiled softly at this, wondering if he should have perhaps constructed larger windows, or if he in fact liked this dreary atmosphere better. He fingers were still on the calendar as he glanced about his surroundings. They lingered on a particular date, today: his birthday. And he wondered if being alone was what he really wanted.

"Fucking spiky dick head"

Cid Highwind did not like playing taxi driver. But of course, that's what he found himself doing at the moment. He was giving everyone who had came to his house in a failed attempt to celebrate clouds birthday a ride back to their designated households. After his outburst, everyone had remained quite for sometime until Reeve kindly suggested that perhaps everyone should head home, since it was quite obvious in all of their minds, that Cloud was not going to show. Tifa had her new constructed "7th heaven and ½" in the redesigned sector seven area of Midgar.

Four years had passed since their epic journey. And in this time, the new president of Midgar, who was none other than reeve, wasted no time in abolishing the slums and renovating the once gruesome area of Midgar. His efforts to restore the area were not in vain however, and one of Tifa favorite stories to recounted was of the first time she saw flowers blooming in the streets of her neighborhood.

Tifa of course had her newly constructed "7th heaven and ½" in the redesigned sector seven area of Midgar. It was practically a carbon copy of the former 7th heaven and Tifa loved it. She could never figure out however, why she rarely received visits from her friends. They always seemed uneasy in the familiar surrounds and she didn't understand why. She didn't realize that she was the only one comfortable with living in the past.

Reeve, though he was the president of mainly Midgar, had a seaside house in Juno from which he conducted his business. Corporate surrounding made him antsy and nervous so he dedicated a floor of his abode for occupational dealings.

Yuffie strangely, never spent much time in Wuatti, and was frequently seen roaming the streets of Juno. No one was really sure if she had a permanent home or of what she was doing with herself. Furthermore no one ever bothered to question her. She seemed in good health, and during their journeys she proved herself more than capable of taking care of herself so no one thought it necessary. But there were rumors that they had all heard. Gudo had become enraged at his daughter for her dealings with anyone who was even remotely involved with Shinra (i.e. Reeve, Cloud, and Cid) and had disowned her even after she succeeded in saving the planet. Everyone felt a little guilt at this but never made a move to try and remedy the situation.

Barrette now lived in Kalm due to Marlene's instant attachment to the small quite town. She had made a lot of friends during her stay her with Elmyra and grew sad at the thought of living in the unstable feeling that Corel poor economically structure had provided. Barrette still felt he owed Corel a debut, and so he was in charge of reconstruction operations while he and Reeve strived to restore the disheveled area to its former glory.

Cid still lived with Shera, still lived in the same house in the same location, still thought of his flying machines as his children, and still enjoyed cussing with a side of tea. Despite his unchanged surrounds and behaviors, he was one of the most changed out of his group since the "incident." It was a change that went unnoticed by many, but not by all.

Vincent still preferred to keep to him self and live a semi sheltered life. He found himself visiting Cid and Nanaki from time to time, and even silently checking up on cloud, which surprised him. He had thought himself unmoved by their voyage, but apparently his previous belief that Hojo's experimentation's has made him incapable of ever feeling compassion were wrong. He had just never before allowed himself to be human.

Nanaki as they now all respectfully called him, happily governed over the peaceful land of Cosmo Canyon. Though he was young in his own years, he was far from incapable of caring those who inhabited the area. He was wise beyond his years, even for his own race, and felt a connection that he had never before felt with the planet. He suspected that it had something to do with his grandfather, who he missed dearly, but did not mourn. He knew his grandfather was contented with being one with the planet in death that he loved so dearly in life.

The fetid aroma of vomit curled with the tendrils of smoke surrounding Cid Highwind's face as they wafted into his nostrils creating a displeasing feeling in the pit of the captains stomach. He cursed his rotten luck at being stuck with such melody of people. And cursed a fellow blonde he knew of with an eccentric hairstyle for the umpteenth time that day.

"Stupid mother fucking spiky headed DICK."

A/N: question guys, was it corel? Or north corel or corral...or something. I havent played the game in YEARS so im kinda rusty. I think im gonna play it again just so I can get the surrounding right and be more familiar or the little details in the game that I can possibly expand on in this story. I know this chapter was kinda crappy and lacking in "juicy" substance, but it was necessary I think. Hope you like it anyway! Reviews urge me on to write more! Oh and also, please excuse any of my mistakes, sometimes I miss em heh.

-also im hoping to get the third chapter up later today, thats when some good stuff happens.
