Moi: Well my muse (his name is Wednesday) went on a little holiday for a bit but he's back now! So on with the fic! Oh yeah, and I own nothing! Do I have to keep repeating myself? Thanks for the reviews people, keep em coming!

By the way, just a little note to say LISTEN TO SOUL ON FIRE BY H.I.M! It's the most awesome song ever. Thankyou :bows:

oOo0O0oOo

I rubbed my head and stared on as the park loomed above me. Okay, the big cat slide thingummy wasn't as cute as it was in the game. Even though it scared me I'd always loved parks ever since I was a little kid running around screaming like a brat. Our park near my house got took down though, when a boy fell off the swings and the council removed it…

My bottom lip was trembling.

"Aeris? Are you coming up?" Cloud was ALREADY sitting on top looking like a dumbarse.

I gave him eeevils, "Okay, okay. Hold yer horses." Pretty soon I was up sitting next to him and then slid down the slide straight away. I couldn't be bothered talking about Zack and all that. Dead lovers…so putrid!

Swirling round on my heel, I grinned, "Look! Wasn't that so kewl! I'm going again." Honestly, I can be SO immature at times. Cloud just raised an eyebrow, his usual reaction.

"Uhm… I hate to break it to you Aeris but your dress is tucked into your pants."

I turned round. He was right. And they were the most mingingist, putrid, ugly (woot go adjectives!) pair of knickers I'd EVER seen. They were pink and had little blue flowers around the edge.

It was the most embarrassing moment since I had a piece of chewing gum stuck to my butt in year 8 and I fell in the waste-paper bin in front of the whole school during an assembly I made up on the spot about…oranges. But I kept a cool head and didn't panic like a maniac badger.

"I'm bored!" I announced quickly, yanking Clod off the slide and tugging him down the street, "Let's go shopping! I need a new dress. This one is just so…"

He cut me off, "I don't have any gil, Aeris." My face fell, "Don't look at me! You spent it all buying that jumbo lasagne sandwich, remember?"

I did remember. I still had most of it plastered across my face.

"Ohhh yeah. Well then, I'll just have to find OTHER ways of getting gil." I could see it now 'blonde stupid boy for sale only 25gil- house trained' I giggled, "C'mon, the shops will be shut by the time you're finished whining!"

Grabbing Cloud, I dragged him down the street and into wall market. It was pretty kewl actually, with all the shops. Shopping is, most definitely, my favourite sport. But I didn't have any gil and Cloud was looking at me in a very weird way…

"Hmmmmz…what could I sell?" I emptied my pockets. The remains of the sandwich, a few putrid (shudder) flowers and a couple of gil fell out. "Oh bloody hell!" There was another way to get a dress though…

oOo0O0oOo

"Excuse me missus." I skipped over to the lady working in the clothes store, "Erm…I need a dress that will look good on me." Giving her a twirl, I grinned. She looked kinda excited, business was probably bad when that shop only had two customers in it's entire lifetime.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh…" The batty woman began rummaging through racks and racks of putrid dresses. Dresses! If my Mum was here she'd have the camera out by now. The only dress I owned was a skinny-dress I got from which said 'do your bit to clean up the streets- KILL a chav' on the front. "Oh oh oh oh oh…"

"Okay okay!" I grabbed a random dress, "Don't have a spaz attack!"

The one I'd picked was actually quite cool. It was black, of course, with little red bits on the side. There was also a massive slit up the side which did look slutty but in a good way I guess.

"Come on Cloud, let's go get changed."

"Hey, hey, HEY!" After I had shoved him into the tiny changing room, Cloud gave me major evils, "How are you going to pay for it? I thought you said…"

I rolled my eyes, "Oh who gives a monkey's arse what I said! Never listen to what I say!" Looking up, I could see a teeny tiny window with blurred out glass. With the end of my boot I could JUST about get it open. "There you go. I'm getting out of here. I dunno about you but I don't WANT to go to prison."

Cloud's behaviour reminded me of a batty old woman, "But you can't do that! Aeris, it's stealing." Aw come on, it is so not. I'm in a video game for crying out loud! But I wasn't going to say that now, was I? So I just smiled sweetly and said:

"If you don't get out of that window I am gonna rip off your nuts and tear you a new cornfield. Now SHIFT!"

It was easy-peasy getting Cloud out of the window. He didn't have a big stick to carry and a dress shoved into your skirt. It was only when half of me was out of the window when the lady banged on the door.

"Hey, would you guys get out of my shop and get a room?"

ERLACK! She thought we were…

No time to think! I flapped my arms around, "OI! Help me!" Cloud grabbed hold of my arms and tugged and tugged. Finally, I flew out of the hole and landed head-first in a dustbin. Niiice.

"Phew! That was too close for my condition." Grinning, I unfolded the black dress, "I need to find a place to change."

I went over to the 'golden wire' and raised my eyebrows at the little kid. The sight of a maniac flower girl, covered in banana skins and potato peeling, was NOT a pretty sight. He soon ran away heeheehee.

When I'd finally changed, I was SO happy to be out of the Aeris dress. I held it up to Cloud and laughed hysterically in a high-pitched way, "This would look SO good on you!"

You should have seen his face.
