"Enough" Zero said.
He brushed the dust off his red cloak and started to walk up to Tifa,
and put his hand on her shoulder. A white light surrounded her, and
she was able to get up. Zero without saying anything to her walked
straight to the inn.
Cloud walked up to Tifa and helped her get
on her two feet.
"Next time I bring somebody to the Inn I hope
you take more into consideration." He said
Tifa
punched Cloud in the face making him fall.
"I don't need your
smart ass comments Cloud, I was just going easy on the kid."
She
then walked into the inn.
"Who the hell are you?" yelled
Barret
"My name is Zero I am from the Northern Continent Uncle Bar-."
Barret took a good long look at Zero and processed what he was said.
"Were you just about to call me Uncle Barret?"
"Uh no I said Funkle Bear."
"Funkle Bear, what the hell is that?"
Zero
started to tear up.
"It was my tribe that was destroyed by
Sephiroth I really don't wanna talk about it."
"Oh sorry
kid I didn't know that … Cloud brought you here?"
"Yeah." He sniffled
"Damn kid letting anybody whose anybody in the party…" he went off muttering
Zero sat down on a nearby couch and sighed with relief. He was thinking about the acting lessons Aunt Yuffie gave him before she died. He opened a pack of cigarettes and lit one up.
"Hey
kid." said a weak voice
Zero turned and looked to his right and
say a man slouched down in a lazy-boy sipping from a Jack Daniels
bottle.
"Can you spare one, I sorta ran out…"
Zero understood this man's predicament. He too gets itchy when he runs out. He pulled one out and tossed it to the guy.
"Your fucking awesome kid." He thanked
As he lit up the cigarette Zero froze when he saw the man's face.
"Cid…" he thought
Cid noticed Zero looking at him.
"You gonna stare all day or you got something to say?"
"Uh no sorry just that you remind me of someone I knew."
"Heh hey you know anything about airships?"
"Hell yeah I do!"
"Fuck yes!" Cid pulled out a shot glass and poured one for Zero and they stared to converse about Airships.
Cloud
walked in. He saw Cid with one arm around Zero slurring about
airships. Zero was just as drunk saying stuff about the future. Cloud
realized what was happening.
"I think that's enough Cid." He
said as he pulled Zero away from Cid.
Then Zero put his arm across Cloud's shoulder he slurred, "You know the thing about bananas is that you just don't know when they are ripe then they get too ripe and then you can't eat them!"
Zero and Cid yelled in laughter.
"I know I know that's what I keep telling Shera!"
"Man if I were this guys dad I would never let him hang out with Cid"
