Chapter I - Cloud's Story

Cloud sat at the counter with Barret while Tiffa served them drinks at the new Seventh Heaven pub in Kalm.

"So Cloud" said Tifa "got all those reactors destroyed yet?"

"No not yet" he responded taking a sip of his drink "I only have the Nibelheim reactor to destroy, this time though instead of using a summon materia I was gonna use a bomb I made from some of Jesse's designs, you know kinda like a memento to an old friend."

"Good idea" said Barret lifting a drink with his new mechanical arm "you know I'll have to with ya last time you set one of those things you went into a fit"

"Cloud let me go we haven't been to our home town in soooooooo long"

"How bout we all go the entire team I'll call everybody"

Cloud pulled out his PHS and dialed a number and placed it to his ear

"Hello, Cid?" a pause "hey this is cloud we were wondering if you could run around and pick everyone up Barret, Tiffa, and I were planning a trip and were wonderin if everyone wanted to go." a pause "well were all in Kalm I don't know where everyone else is I'll call when I find out." a pause "yeah thanks talk to you later bye."

"Cid's in" he dialed another number

"Hello? Yuffie? Hey Yuff we were planning on all going to Nibelheim together. The whole group wanna come?" a pause "Yeah Cid's gonna pick everyone up." a pause "Cool, I gotta go call everyone else." A pause "wait where we picking you up?" a pause "Cosmo? Cool hey wait is Red nearby?" a pause "He wanna come?" a pause "Cool talk later bye."

"Check Red and Yuffie" he dialed another number.

"Hey Reeves?" a pause" Hey this is Cloud" a pause "Hey we were all planning a trip Nibelheim and we're asking everyone to come" a pause "Were we gonna pick you up?" A pause "Midgar? What are you doing there" a pause "Well were all sitting here at Kalm why don't you just meet us over here and Cid's going to pick us all up okay bye."

"Reeves will be here before sundown" he re-dialed Cid's number

"Hello? Hey Cid, Cloud again, Reeves will meet us in Kalm, Yuffie's visiting Red up at Cosmo Canyon and I'm guessing Vincent's still staying at the old Shin-Ra mansion okay see you tomorrow bye"

"Everyone's coming Reeves will be here in a couple hours and hopefully Vincent's still in Nibelheim because he doesn't have a PHS"

"Cool" said Tiffa "Where's Reeves gonna sleep at?"

"Well he can sleep at my place" responded Cloud "It's only me over there right now"

At that moment Marline came running in (she's now 14 years old and is quite an impressive fighter under Tifa's teachings

"Cloud there's a some girl out hear that wants to see you"

Cloud turned around and looked at Tifa who smiled Cloud gave a shrug to show he has no idea who it could be so he grabbed his drink walked over to the door and opened it up.
