"Can't go to sleep?" One voice asks to another person. Outside, the sun is still sleeping as two restless figures toss and turn, hoping get back to sleep.

"Nope." The person responded. There was a long silence as both of them change into their clothes in separate bathrooms. "You wake up brother while I get Mione." The feminine voice orders to the other person. "Got it."

"Wow!"

"Whoa!"

"Where do you think you two are going in such a hurry?"

Both of his children grunt as he picks up a nine-year-old and eleven-year-old off the ground. "Daddy." The redhead whines. "Let go." Her older blue-haired brother giggles.

"Now I just want you to be careful."

Cloud notices the two of them are distracted. He mentally sighs and grabs the pilot's jacket and the back on the youngest child. "Yuki and Kairi, are you listening? Accidents can happen. You can easily get hurt or..."

Kairi rolls her eyes and continues. "...or stepped on..."

"Or?" Cloud adds.

"Or even get lost." Yuki finished.

"And remember," Yuki turns back to the entrance the four of them have grown up. "I want you to stay in sight of Pride Rock..."

"...at all times. I know." Yuki rolls his eyes while his little sister said that. "If we see any strangers don't talk to them. Come straight home. Ok, ok. Can we go now please?"

"Hm very funny."

Aerith chuckles as she is amused how much her beloved goes over it many times before. "Mind your father, Yuki, Kairi."

"Yes mom." They chorused.

"And stay away from the Midgar."

A blue blur past ex-SOLDIER's eye and he knew who it was. "Nothing there but a bunch of back-stabbing, murderous outsiders." The hornbill said.

"Zazu's right." Cloud's eyes darkened at Midgar's direction. "You can't turn your back on them."

"Really?" Yuki asks with interest.

"How come?" Kairi asks.

The father sighs as a sign to let it go. "Never mind. Just run along, now."

"But, Dad, I--"

"You'll understand someday. Go on."

"Dad..."

"Hey, wait up!" Hermione calls. "You two better have a good reason it is six in the morning." Roxas comes and trails after them. Yuki and Kairi glance at each other and grinned.

"The last one down to the water hole is a stinky Moogle!" Kairi calls.

"Not that again, you lazy bum! I'll beat the three of you combined with my skateboard!"

"Mom's favorite." They muttered.

"You are the one who's lazy!" Hermione shouts after Roxas went past her.

Aerith chuckles as the father watches the children kept on going farther and farther away from home. "Oh, Cloud. Who do they remind you of? Hm?"
"Huh? What? Who?"

"They're just like you were when you were young."

"Exactly. Do you realize the dangers we put ourselves in?" He grunts as Aerith whacks him in the chest with her trustworthy staff.

"You mean the dangers you put us in."

"She'll be fine." She says as she refers to his younger self.
