Yeah tried to play a game and couldn't stop coming up with ideas for my other story. Which caused me to think up stuff for this and now I'm updating twice in one day. It's crazy beyond belief! Thanks for the reviews I love them sooo much.

Chapter 2

How it happened

"Confounded technology. Absolutely useless…" Merlin mumbled glaring at the computer screen. Cid grunted but refused to look up from the keyboard. "Can't that infernal machine work any faster."

"Shut yer yap. I'm work' in here." Before the two could start yet another fight, the door swung open and a girl clad in pink stepped quickly inside. She placed her soaked umbrella against the wall and gave a long sigh.

"It's raining hard out there." She removed he soggy shoes. Seeing their faces she placed her hands on her hips. "Are you two at it again?"

"Don't you worry about that, Aerith. You have any luck?" Cid asked still not looking up from his work. She shook her head.

"Where are those two anyway?" mused cid scratching the stubble on his chin. "I didn't know Leon could stand Yuffie this long." He chuckled to himself. "That boys gonna be moody the rest of the week." Aerith gave a small smile and leaned over Cid's shoulder.

"And, what are we doing?"

"Just trying to find out where they are." Aerith understood and took a seat at the cluttered table.

"We'll that's interesting…" Aerith cocked her head.

"What's interesting?"

"Seems like our buddy Cloud is coming by for a visit." She smiled and looked at the screen. Sure enough a small green dot was moving towards them. She hopped out off her chair and strode over to the door. She opened it quickly letting some rain pour in from outside.

Kairi stood in front of her. She was soaking wet and her arms were full of shopping bags. Aerith quickly took them from her and led her inside.

"Kairi did you see…Vincent…?" She nearly dropped the bags when she saw Vincent's face. "…You're… you're really here." He said nothing and starred at her in what could only be shock.

"Aerith…you're alive." She offered a comforting smile.

"Yes." She didn't know how to explain what had happened, so she didn't, She hadn't even had a chance to anyway. A small blonde head peaked out from underneath Vincent's dripping cape and starred at her shyly. "Cloud?" The boy ducked back behind the cape and hid. Aerith brushed the material aside and looked into those big blue eyes. "It is him." She looked up from his face to Vincent's. "What happened?"

"I was hopping you would explain that to me."

"I'll give you kids one guess on who's fault this is." Cid gestured with his thumb towards Merlin.

"What? This is my fault." He received a look of annoyance and thought harder. "That would explain why that spell I tested earlier didn't have any effect." Aerith gapped with a mixture of shock and worry. "We can set him back don't worry." Merlin waved a hand to calm her then, he adjusted his hat in thought. "Now where did I put that book."

Merlin had been searching through books for hours and it would be sunrise before he was finished. Kairi had fallen asleep in the bed. The others had fallen asleep around the table. Vincent and Aerith were hunched forward their arms acting as pillows. Cid had collapsed at his computer. His head was tipped back on the chair. Cloud was fast asleep sitting in Cid's lap and curled against his chest while sucking his thumb.

"Drat!" Merlin yelled and placed a book back onto his shelf. The room was instantly filled with the moans of those who had been sleeping.

Aerith asked half awake. "What's wrong." Merlin sighed sadly and straightened the books further.

"When we moved here to Radiant Garden I must've left some of my books behind."

"We have to go back to Traverse Town?"

"Precisely. Cid will there be a gummi ship ready by tomorrow?"

Cid mumbled something that none of them could make out. He wrapped an arm around Cloud's shoulders and went back to sleep. Cloud hadn't seemed all that interested in what was going on and followed Cid's example.

Aerith took a blanket and threw it around them. She yawned and wrapped an extra blanket around herself as well. Traverse town.

I'm too tired to stretch this anymore tonight sorry. When you review I want to know if I should include Reno and/or Sora in this any other characters you want to see jut ask and I will consider. I made this a FF7 fic because I included Vincent valentine plus most of the characters I'm including will be of FF. So I'm sorry. But if it was kingdom hearts then I'd get flamed for having Vincent and other people.
