Jenna and Angeal stared at each other for a moment, absolutely still. She'd really said that just now. Angeal was the first to break the silence.
"You really consider me an Angel then?" He whispered, moving his hand to her cheek. Jenna bit her lip for a minute and nodded.
"You've been nothing but one for me...since I got here..." Jenna whispered, staring up into his eyes.
"...what's tattooed on your arm? What name...?" Angeal stroked a finger down her shoulder to her wrist, causing Jenna to shiver lightly.
"...it's not my name." She whispered and turned away. "It's the title they gave the organism I was cloned from...Jenova." Her voice was faint at the end, her eyes focused on the glowing lake.
Angeal lifted her chin slowly and sighed.
"You're not her. I know of Jenova. You're a gentle, sweet, kind, considerate, young woman named Jenna..." He whispered and leaned his face towards hers.
"Angeal..." Jenna whispered as blood rushed into her cheeks. "I-"
"Guys, Min has seemingly gone insane..."
Jenna and Angeal separated quickly, back to back as Genesis approached from around the tunnel. Great timing...just great... Jenna glanced at Genesis, mostly to ignore what she'd heard from Angeal's mind, or avoid it for now.
"Stranger then usual?" Jenna asked. Genesis nodded slightly as he stared at the ceiling.
"She went to the ruins of the village to gather things. I have no idea what...or why...or how she plans to do whatever it is she's plotting..." He explained. Jenna nodded once as she began to walk away.
"I'll go help her..."
It was young Genesis and Angeal hanging out, and it was fairly ammusing. They were dressed in actual SOLDIER uniform, home on leave. They were talking about a former mission.
"That was insane..." Genesis commented, popping a CD in the boombox. Angeal chuckled slightly.
"Hey, you know-"
"I swear if you're about to go on about Vinyl versus Compact Discs-"
"They are better."
"You have them because your dad left a few hundred!"
"And if you store them right-which I do-they're a lot sturdier!"
"Min!"
Min turned from the rubbled she'd been digging in as Jenna ran over and smiled.
"Hey! Just in time! I could use some help!" She grinned lightly as Jenna smiled.
"Genesis says you went insane."
"He hears a voice. He doesn't get a say."
"So what are you doing?"
"I'm going to make our hide out more interesting. If Angeal and Genesis are sick..." Min sighed and sat down, "Then they should be enjoying life then. And I'm thinking...we should get some tunes...plot some food...decorate and just hang out in general, all of us together." Min explained. Jenna nodded and began to dig with out further question.
Min stopped for a moment.
"How do you know what to look for?"
"Ah...I don't." Jenna sweat-dropped and laughed nervously. "I'm a bit...distracted."
"What, was Genesis picturing me in the nude or something?" Min asked.
"No, Angeal and I nearly kissed..."
It took a minute for Min to grok what Jenna had said before she dropped a board and looked at her.
"Wait-What?"
