"The Ultimate Fanfic (or not!)"

By: AnimaeAriesGirl and her big sis Tin!

Notes: Hiya guyz, AnimaeAriesGirl here! This is my very first fanfic, written with my big sis Tin. It's hella long, but I promise it's SOOOO worth it, so please read on. Just wanna say that all characters in this fanfic are not mine, they are trademarks of SquareSoft/Square Enix...well except for Sage and the evil villain whose name will be mentioned later... Enjoy minna-san!

Chapter 9- A New Castle, An Old Friend

"Hey guys, can we go in NOW? I've been dying to get some pants on," Sephy complained. Everyone was moving on inside the castle, except Cloud.

"Come on Cloud, let's go! C'mon, everyone is leaving and… um… hmmmm what are you staring at?" Tifa asked curiously.

Cloud gazed at the overgrown flowers on the golden wall. "Those flowers………… they look familiar……………" Cloud thought for a while and then said to himself, "I thought Aeris grew those at the old church in the slums, oh well..." He shrugged off the thought and followed Tifa.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

BACK TO THE INSIDE OF THE CASTLE

"Wow, this place is HUGE!" Terra exclaimed.

"Yeah, I think it's almost double the size of the Alexandria Kingdom and Limblum put together!" Dagger said in amazement.

"Ooooh Boy! I can't wait to rest up!" Locke said stretching.

"Hey what's that!" Sephiroth asked out of the blue. It seems something pink had caught his eye."

"It was probably just the pink flowers throwing you off 'lil bro," Setzer reassured.

"Setzer is right, there are flowers EVERYWHERE!" Zidane said pointing at the flowers scattered around.

A pink flash ran at the corner of Sephy's eye, "Hey, there it goes again! That's it, I'm following it. It could be a Demmooon!" And with that the ex-villain ran after his "DEMON."

"Yo, Sephiroth, get your ovah here!" Barret screamed.

"He's disappeared, "Vinny calmly.

"Let's follow him before he hurts himself," Shadow said, sharpening his Katana.

So they followed Sephiroth and saw him staring at a trail of flowers.

"I told you they were flowers," Setzer said victoriously.

Sephy nodded his head, "Shhhhhhh! Let's follow this trail of flowers and on the count of three we'll jump and destroy this PINK-FLOWER-LOVING monster once and for all!"

So Sephiroth, Cloud, and Sabin decided to go (only because they were the ones who were forced to volunteered) get ready to jump.

"One," Sephy started.

"Two," Cloud continued.

"And…… THREE!" Sabin concluded.

They all jumped and wrestled the creature. Somehow it knocked them off and said, "Owww! That hurt! Do you want to crush my only pair of ribs? Get off of my beautiful flowers, your crushing them! Hey give me back my ribbon and my white materia!" the "DEMON" said, snatching what Sabin ripped out of its chestnut brown hair. Then, it brushed itself off. Cloud rubbed his eyes and looked at the monster.

"Hmmmmm? What the ! AERIS, IS THAT YOU?"

The flower girl turned around and screamed, "What? CLOUD? BARRET? CID? VINCENT? YOU'RE ALL HERE! (she didn't notice Sephiroth, since he was still dazed along with Sabin)."

She was smothered with hugs and kisses. When she finally caught her breath, she introduced herself, "Hi everyone, I am Aeris Gainsborrow. I am, or at least I WAS, the last of the Ancients and was sadly killed by Sephiroth."

Quina scratched its head, "How you got here? Though yummy frog stew?"

Aeris shook her head, "No, actually if you take a left from the Lifestream and –"

Tifa interrupted, "Who cares, you're here and alive!"

Aeris was again resmuthered in hugs and kisses and shook hands with her new friends. Among one of the hands was Sabin's.

As he introduced himself to her, he asked, "Hey isn't Sephiroth right there?"

Author's Note: Well I told you things would get an interesting twist! First the FFVII crew met the villain who murdered their beloved friend and tried to destroy their world. Then, Aeris comes along! Now how will she react when she sees and finally meets once more the man that killed her? Well the next chapter is called "Aeris's Revenge!" so I will let you use your imagination. Guyz please read and review, especially the next chapter, and keep reading this long-butt fanfic. THANK YOU
