A/N: Hey everybody! Good to be with you once again. Hope you enjoyed my last little tid bit. I enjoyed writing it.Well here I go again. On with the show!

Chapter 4: Gemini

Aeris was getting really fed up with everything that was going on; more like getting fed up with going no-where. At least she can always manage to keep busy by looking at all the beautiful flowers there were in there. Some of which she's never seen before. There were creatures of all kinds, but nothing menacingly evil.

"He did so tell us to wait here!"
"No way, why isn't he here yet!"
"Waaaaarrk!"

'Oh my I wonder what that could be,' Aeris asked herself. 'They sounded like children, I wonder if they need help.' She began approaching with caution. She wasn't about to take any chances. Especially with heartless running around. They sounded like something that wouldn't be a very fun experience to go through, she was defenseless. She had dropped her pack and staff before she shrank. 'Why the heck didn't I ask him for it, what is wrong with me? I know he's hot, but damn! to make me forget about asking about my stuff? Maybe it was his plan all along. Nothing I can do about it for the moment. I'm just going to have to remember the next time i see him...'

Aeris was so busy rambling to herself, that she didn't realize the root of a tree sticking out of the ground and tripped. She hit the ground; hard.

"Who are you?" asked a little girl.

"Ow... that really hurt!" Aeris groaned.

"Are you alright Miss?" asked the little boy.

"I'm alright, thanks." Aeris paused nervously. "Guess I should've watched where I was going."

"That still doesn't explain who you are!" said the little girl crossing her arms.

"Please excuse my sister Ai, she's not the type to remember her manners." the little boy said, rolling his eyes at his sister.

"My name isYu."

"My name is Aeris. I'm sorry for interupting. I heard you two arguing and I thought that you might need help."

"WAAAARRK!"

"That's Chobi, " said Yu.

"Please to meet you all, are you all right?"

"We're ok, we're just waiting for someone. You have'nt seen him have you?" asked Yu.

"Was he with a dog, a duck, and carried a giant key?"

"He was more along the lines of tall dark and handsome," Ai replied.

"Nope, haven't seen him."

Ai, Yu, and Chobi all sighed.

"Well now what do we do, Yu?"

"Well if you don't mind, I can keep you company till your friend arrives." Aeris suggested.

"We wouldn't want to impose. You were probably on your way to somewhere important". Yu said.

"I'm actually lost, so it doesn't matter where I go; I always end up there." Aeris explained.

"Great! Can we tell you a story, you know to pass the time? Hey Ai you know the one about the God in the future?"

"Yeah, I know the one. I still don't see why we have to talk to her. She's a complete stranger. How are we supposed tell whether this isn't another one of The Earl's henchmen."

"Ai, don't you think you're exaggerating just a bit? Honestly don't you think she would have harmed us already if she was one of them?"

"I guess you're right. Sorry about that." Ai apologized.

"Would you like to hear the story?" Yu asked, eagerly.

"Sure why not." Aeris replied, smiling.

"Ahem," Yu cleared his throat " In a time before time, there was a vast ocean in the midst of a void. This planet devoid of life, was looked upon by the god Yevon."

Ai continued. "It was then that the god Yevon took pity upon this mass. ' I shall breathe life into where there exists none. I shall create a vast and wonderous place for life of all kind.' And so the god Yevon did. He brought light into the darkness, land to separate the waters; and a variety of creatures to cultivate it. The god Yevon saw that this was indeed good. He called it Spira."

"And time for some time, was good" Added Yu.

"Till humanity thought that they should surpass gods. Yevon was very displeased. So he called upon his prophet Yunalesca, of Zanarkand."

"Zanarkand was a city, renowned for it technological advances. They had bright lights, tall buildings that almost seemed to hover over the sea, and Machina."

"Machina was the latest in technological warfare. Machina was the reason that the Lord Yevon was angry. Not only with the people in Zanarkand, but the entire Spira itself was displeasing the god."

Surprised at the children's vocabulary, Aeris listened intently.

"While Zanarkand wasn't the only place to have machina in Spira, it was surely the most abundant in it. The prophet Yunalesca pleaded with her people to change their ways. "

"Her cries fell onto deaf ears."

"So Lord Yevon sent the Angel of Death."

"It's name was Sin."

"Sin devoured and destroyed the metropolis that was Zanarkand. Yunalesca summoned vast forces to help conquer the giant beast that arose from the water, but to no avail. She too was smitten by the angel of death."

"Since that fateful day, Sin has been the reaper to those souls who rebel against the Lord Yevon and use the forbidden machina. Spira will forever atone for their sins until the next prophet reedems him or herself for an entire world."

"How sad," Aeris said. She could almost feel the pain of that planet. She knew all too well, for it was the pain of her own world.

"It's a true story, you know." said Ai.

"They're still awaiting a savior to free them from Sin." Said Yu.

"WAAAARRRK!"

"What's the matter boy?" Asked Yu.

Before the chocobo could say anything else, a man stepped out from behind Aeris. 'Oh my goodnes he kinda looks like Vincent, but it couldn't be, could it?' Aeris thought to herself.He had a gun that looked different from the ones she's seen Vincent carry.

"Mr.Kaze where were you? We've been waiting here a long time. Well?" Ai said pouting, crossing her arms.

"Let's go" said the man.

"This is Aeris..." started Yu, but was completely brushed off.

"WAAAARRRK!"

"What is it this time Chobi?" Ai asked him.

The chocobo dashed forward and plucked the little girl up by her pigtail. It then bolted in the direction that Mr. Kaze was headed.

"It was nice meeting you, Aeris." said the little boy waving as he bagan to part ways with her.

"Nice meeting you too, thanks for the story"

"Remember it. It'll mean something to you later on in life."

Suddenly, something bolted past her feet. Like a flash of lightning. This little bolt had a small pink tint to it. Aeris waved back at Yu and hurried after it. It was the silver rabbit.

"Oh you're not getting away from me that easily!" she said hurrying down the path that the little rabbit passed through.

A/N: All's well that ends well. I really let my imagination do the talking on this one. What I mean to say is that I typed this off the top of my head. this is the only place where it exists, here and on my floppy of course. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this, I sure enjoyed writing it. Till we meet again. -Lamica
