What Are Crazy Uncles For?

"Tifa? Is it...normal to be nervous?" Marlene asked as she hopped out of Barret's huge truck.

Today was her first softball game, and all of Cloud and Tifa's friends came to watch and of course, route for their favorite player out there.

Tifa smiled and crouched to adjust Marlene's hat so it wasn't falling over her eyes every five seconds.

"Being nervous is absolutely normal, it's something we all feel at some point in our life's. Sometimes there are people who get all worked up over the silliest things!" Tifa replied smiling warmly at Marlene before wrapping her arms around her in a big hug. She rubbed her back gently. "You'll do fine, even if you don't win the game, a positive attitude is the key to life, and life's always not about winning."

Marlene nodded. "Thanks, Tifa! But...do people really get worked up over the silliest things?" She tilted her head in curiosity.

Tifa giggled. "Well just look at Cloud with Fenrir!"

The two girl's looked over at Cloud who was frantically checking for any scratches on his bike, with Denzel right behind him holding a bottle of sunblock.

"Hey, Cloud! I need some help getting sunblock below my eyes! That's were I burn the most and Tifa said the sun's going to be strong today!"

"Yes, In a second Denzel..." Cloud replied as he continued his search.

"Or..." Aerith said walking up to them, dressed in a long pink tank top and magenta colored shorts. "Like Zack when he's playing poker!" She giggled as she watched her husband carry a few lawn chairs across the field, Cid was behind him carrying Cloud's cooler.

"Does he really?" Denzel asked squinting his eyes closed so Cloud wouldn't get any sunblock in them.

Aerith giggled and pressed a finger to her lips. "You didn't hear it from me! If Zack asks say it was Cloud!"

"What!?" Cloud cried, but Aerith only winked at him before walking off to the field to catch up with her husband.

Cloud looked at Tifa. "Since when does Aerith wear shorts?"

Tifa shrugged. "Since now, I guess!"

"It's weird...I'm so used to seeing her in dresses..."

"Well..back to me.." Marlene said with a giggle. "If we lose, there's always next time! Besides, I'm doing my best by trying right!"

"That's ri-"

"HELL NO!" Yuffie cut Tifa off, strutting over to them in mini denim short-shorts and a tan tank top wearing glasses that were WAY to big for her face, and dragging along behind her was no other than Vincent. She swiped the bottle of sunblock from Cloud and looked down at Marlene. "You're in it to win it! And I'll beat those bitches! Or ANY bitch that messes with my Marls!" She yelled ignoring Cloud's cold death stare, however it would have been hard to see his eyes behind his goggles anyways.

"Don't listen to her Marlene!" Barret shouted as he slammed the truck's door a bit to loudly, he followed them across the field in a hurry, "You do your best an' you be the best player out there!"

Yuffie rolled her eyes before turning around to look up at Vincent. "Alright, Vinnie! Time to put some sun block on that pretty little skin of yours! We wouldn't want it to get burnt!"

"Uh alright..." Vincent muttered with no emotion in his voice, however Cloud could tell he was embarrassed and seeing Vincent embarrassed was a rare sight, and so was Cloud snorting.

Zack glanced yup at Cloud but a bit faster than he should have, since he banged his head on one of the arm rests of the chair.

"Ow! Damn chair!" Zack said though he couldn't fight back his laughter. "Oh! Are those Hot Wheels!? I LOVE these things!" He cried pointing at the little toy truck in Denzel's hand.

That caused Cloud to snort again.

"What up with you, Spiky? You sound like a piggy!" Barret exclaimed as he sat down in one of the lawn chairs, and it creaked loudly when he sunk his weight into it.

Cloud glared at him. "Shut up and watch the game!"

Tifa smiled and kissed Marlene's cheek. "Good luck honey, though I'm pretty sure you won't be needing it!"

"You'll do great Marlene!" Denzel added giving her thumbs up.

"Thanks! I'll be thinking of all of you!" Marlene replied before she was off running to her team across the field.

"Alright, I want you all to STOP swearing! NO potty words, no fighting...and..." Aerith paused to knock the cigarette out from Cid's hand. " DEFINITELY no smoking around pregnant women!" She stomped on the cigarette to put it out.

"Wow, we can tell who you've hung with!" Cid scowled, causing Tifa to laugh and shrug her shoulders.

"I can't help that I'm an inspiration!"

"Oh PLEASE!" Cloud cried laying his head back against his chair. "It's bad enough you have Marlene taking after you! Now Aerith?" He shook his head and chuckled slightly.

"Well, what if the baby turns out to be a girl? And she starts taking after Marlene!? That's four Tifa's right there!" Zack added elbowing Cloud's ribs playfully.

The two friends laughed.

Tifa blushed. "Hey, I'm not that bad."

"Of course not, sweetie, you just care for others! I wish more people were like you!" Shera said patting Tifa gently on the arm.

"Yeah, Tifa's the best!" Denzel added resting his head against Tifa's shoulder.

"Well, you should hear what happened last sun-OH! GO MARLENE! YEEEEAAAAAHH!" Zack shouted and started clapping like a monkey in a zoo as he watched Marlene and her team do a few warm ups across the field.

Aerith slapped Zack's thigh. "Mind my ear, Zack! And stop before you embarrass the poor girl!"

Denzel laughed at them.

"Hey! I'm trying to help!" Zack protested, holding up his hands in surrender. "Besides, what are crazy Uncles for?"

"OR Aunts!" Yuffie added before opening Cloud's cooler. "Say Spiky, you got any Materia in here?"

"Paws off, Yuffie." Cloud snarled kicking her hand away from the cooler. "Why would I bring Materia at a softball game?"

Yuffie scoffed. "I'm guessing you left your swords at home too?"

"No, they're in Fenrir."

"Ha!"

"Shut it."

"NO FIGHTING!" Aerith growled pointing at Yuffie and Cloud.

"Why do you love Materia so much anyways?" Zack asked causing everyone to groan.

"DON'T even get her started!" Vincent said in almost a whine.

Yuffie giggled.

"Look everyone! Marlene's up!" Tifa cried hugging Denzel closer to her, since their wasn't enough chairs for everyone, Tifa had Denzel sit on her lap, Aerith sat in Zack's, and Yuffie in Vincent's.

A/N: Imagine this line in the Genie's voice! If you seen Aladdin:P) "ALRIGHT! WHOO! WHOO WHOO!" Zack cheered, capturing the attention of many other parents out on the field. Pretty soon, Barret, Cid, and Yuffie joined in with Zack's.

"Why am I friends with such idiots?" Cloud said with a roll of his eyes.

"Because you love us!" Aerith replied rubbing her center that was slightly rounder than it was last month.

Everyone cheered as Marlene hit the ball across the field and was now sprinting to home base, they could see her long braid bouncing off her back and her skinny little legs running as fast as they could take her.

"You got it kiddo! Keep running!" Zack whooped.

"GO MARLENE!" Barret Hollered.

"Alright, Marlene!" Denzel cheered.

"That's my girl!" Tifa smiled.

"Not bad." Vincent mumbled.

"Such a lovely girl." Shera awed.

"Damn, fast for a peanut." Cid muttered.

"KICK THEIR ASSES!" Yuffie shouted.

"What did I say about swearing!?" Aerith scolded.

"Damn, I forgot the camera!" Cloud growled.

"CLOUD!" Aerith snarled pointing a finger at him.

"No you didn't! I borrowed it last month remember?" Yuffie replied dangling their digital camera in her hand.

Cloud blinked behind his goggles. "No..."

"Yeah! 'Borrowed'." Denzel replied making air quotes with his fingers at the word borrowed.

"I'm GOING to give it back! And you should thank me! After you see all the amazing pictures I've taken of Marlene!"

"I HOPE they're just of Marlene..." Cloud muttered.

Yuffie's eyes widened. "Uh...hehehe...of course!" She replied before frantically going through the camera's photo album and deleting any picture that wasn't of Marlene.

Zack's laugh could be heard across the field to wear Marlene has made it back to home base. She got on her tip toes to see Tifa, Denzel, Cid, Shera, and Barret waving at her and giving her thumbs up.

Cloud seemed to busy yelling at Yuffie, Yuffie seemed to busy with a camera, Zack was to busy laughing while Aerith tried to quiet him down. Vincent was watching her quietly, seeming to be the only calm one there.

She smiled, that was okay. They were there for her and that's all that mattered. She wasn't nervous anymore. With her family there, she had no reason to be.

A/N: I hope you all enjoyed! Sorry it was kind of long! Also,I know many of you want me to focus on other couples and I'm willing to do so but PLEASE don't be angry or upset with me if I don't do so to often, since this fanfic is based of Cloud, Tifa, Marlene and Denzel! But don't worry! I WILL write other couples! It just might not be as much! Again, PLEASE don't be mad or upset! :'(

Thank you all for your kindness and support! Please stay tuned! ^_^
