Kuja - Me and Twili.....sorry......."Sugar-high strawberry" reached an agreement over it. I'd lay off picking on Vincent if she made my son a muse. (Silver hugs his dad)

Vincent - That arrangement suits me. I don't have to fear for my gun or Materia being sabotaged anymore.

SS - Awwww, of course (hugs Silver)

Silver - Yay-ness. Here's the next chapter !

Lost continent

They'd been flying for two hours, and the sun was setting. Red moaned as he clutched his stomach. "Are we there yet." 5 minutes into flight, they had discovered that Red got airsick.

"I see the four sand whirlpool thingies!" Alex exclaimed. "But how do we know which one is the right one?"

"Dad told us, remember? He came here and he said that the one that doesn't have shifting sand is the entrance to the Desert Palace."Amathyst replied."I'm pretty sure it's the one furthest to the north "

"Pretty sure?" Alex teased. Amathyst nodded.

"YUP! I have an impeccable sense of direction.". Alex snorted.

"What about the time we went to Daguerro?" He asked. "You said that the path to the left would take us to the top, but we ended up underneath the city."

"Well, the synthesist told me where to go. Not my fault he was wrong."

"Can we just go to one, I'm gonna be sick again." Red moaned.

"Fine, we'll go to the one to the north." Alex said.

Desert Palace

"Look at all the dust." Silver said as he wiped a finger on the banister. A thik layer of dust enveloped everything and the air smelt stale.

"Let's clean this place up then." Amathyst suggested. "Red, you sit down for a while and keep an eye on the Chocobo's, Silver, you open all the windows in site, me and Alex will get rid of this dust with our magic." Alex raised an eyebrow.

"How will we get rid of all this dust with one spell?" He asked incrediously. Amathyst placed a smug look on her face. "It's quite simple, brother dear. We combine our magics, cast float on the dust, and relocate it to outside." She explained. Alex sighed.

"You have the craziest ideas." He told her. "But, then again, this one actually makes sense. I'll go along with it, but on one condition-"

"-If you want to cast the float spell, you may." Amathyst interrupted. Alex grinned.

"Let's get this party started then!" Silver cried.

Desert Palace, Library

Silver pushed the door open. "Whoah, check out all these cool books!" He softly exclaimed. He ran his hand across them and pulled one off at random. "Forbidden black magic spells from beyond this dimension," the title read. Silver shuddered and put it back hurredly. "I wonder where the window in here is," he wondered out loud as he scanned the room. His gaze rested upon a window above a large statue. "Oh great." He groaned as he began to climb up the statue. Once at the top, he stretched out his hand. "Just a little furthur," he groaned. "Got it." The window swung open, admitting the light. "Whoah!" Silver yelled as he lost his grip of the statue.

THWUMP!

"Sorry, sorry, I'm so sorry." Silver apologised as he helped the person he fell on up.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?" They growled.

"My name is Silver, and-"

"Silver?!" The figure exclaimed as he threw off his cloak and enveloped Silver in a bone-crushing hug.

"Ack!" Silver choked out as he struggled wildly to get free. "Lemmegolemmegolemmego!"

"It's been 15 years, since I saw you last. How is your mother?" They asked.

"Who the hell are you and how did you know my mom?" Silver demanded.

"I'm your father, Kuja." He said.

"Wha?!"

ShS - Ooooh, I'll leave u with that cliffie, 'cause I'm so evil.

Kuja - FINALLY. It's about time I appeared.

Silver - SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SUGARSUGARSUGARSUGARSUGARSUGAR

ShS - Ok, who gave Silver sugar
