Hello once again! I bring you another chapter of Vincent getting his phone!
I do not own FFVII and anything related to it.

Chapter 2: There is no way I'm having that…
Vincent sat at the bar at 7th Heaven with his prized box, inside containing his brand new cell phone. He plopped the box down and opened it, reached in and grabbed the instruction manual out and flipped it open, then began to read it.
"You know, Cloud never looked at the manual to know his phone." A boy's voice spoke.
Vincent peeked beyond the pages of the manual to see a boy with brown hair, looking at him. Denzel was drying a glass in his hand with a small towel.
"Where's Tifa? Isn't she suppose to be—"
"She went to the store with Marlene." Denzel interrupted. "We ran out of milk and eggs to make cookies."
"Then why are you cleaning glasses?" Vincent asked.
"Gotta have milk with the cookies. We had no more clean glasses." Denzel sighed. "They're chocolate chip cookies."
Vincent just nodded and went back to reading the manual.
"Where's Cloud?" Denzel asked.
"He was called just as we were a mile away from here to deliver a package for Reeve to Rufus." Vincent said, continuing to skim through the manual. He reached into the box and grabbed his phone, holding the manual with his clawed hand as he flipped his phone open with his right, gloved hand.
"Let's see… setting up a ringtone." Vincent muttered.
"Oh! That's easy!" Denzel smiled.
"Denzel, I want to learn this myself. Go make your cookies." Vincent said, pressing buttons that made beeping noises.
"Can't. Tifa and Marlene are out to get milk and eggs for the cookies." Denzel sighed, placing the clean glass and towel down on the countertop. "I just told you that two minutes ago."
"Denzel?"
"What?"
"What's a USB cord?" Vincent asked.
Denzel looked at Vincent like he was crazy, then looked into the box and pulled out a black cord. "This is. You hook this end to the phone, and this end to a computer."
"A computer?" Vincent looked down at the phone. "I don't—"
"You can use Cloud's." Denzel said. "He hardly uses it anyway."
Denzel began to go upstairs. "Follow me."
Vincent placed everything in the box and followed the boy up the stairs, only to get lost in the mayhem of hallways and rooms.
"Den—"
"In here!" Denzel shouted from another room. Vincent turned around and followed the source of the voice. He turned into a room and saw Denzel, seated in a office chair as the computer was booting up.
"Cloud's room?" Vincent asked.
"Yep. His room, office, den… call it what you want." Denzel turned in the chair and looked at the screen. Vincent stood behind him as Denzel appeared at the log-in screen.
"Looks like you need a pass—"
Denzel typed quickly onto the keyboard and in seconds, the desktop opened on the computer. The backround featured a motorcycle, all polished and ready on a black backround. Icons were displayed on the side.
"How do you know Cloud's password?" Vincent asked.
"I watch him type it in when I sit next to him filing paperwork and taking his phone calls." Denzel sighed. "I happen to be like a secretary to him."
"Oh."
"Let me see the box." Denzel held on hand out. Vincent handed him the box with everything in it. Denzel placed it on the desk and went through it. He placed the phone down first, then the USB cord. He pushed the box to the side and hooked the USB cord up to the computer, then to the phone which he turned on.
"I'll walk you through it." Denzel said, cracking his knuckles as he got ready to type on the keyboard.
"Alright."
"First, hook the phone up with the USB cord, just like I just did." Denzel spoke. He then clicked on an internet browser and began going through the menu of bookmarks. "Second, Cloud has a site here for ringtones which are free. Which is… right here!"
Denzel clicked on it and a site opened up. Vincent watched as Denzel worked his magic.
"What kind of ringtone would you like?" Denzel asked.
"I have no idea. Surprise me." Vincent said. Denzel clicked a few pages in and began to preview.
"This one?" Denzel asked.
"Drrr…. DING DING DING DING DING DING DING BLUK BLAH BLAAAAHHH DRRR DING DING DING--" A ringtone was heard on the computer. Sounding as if someone was high on drugs and pretending to be a motorcycle.
"Not that one." Vincent said. Denzel shrugged and clicked on another one. A nice, chirping beeping ring came along.
"No. Too bird like." Vincent asked. Denzel clicked on another one, it was pitched, going "Bee Beee Be… Bee be be Bee."
"Too… cheery." Vincent asked.
It had been an hour. Denzel was on the verge of falling asleep. Vincent had not picked out a ringtone. Denzel, like a zombie, kept clicking the preview button.
"Not that one either." Vincent said.
"Vincent. How about this one?!" Denzel jumped in his seat, wanting this to be done and over with as he clicked to preview it.
Victory Fanfare played in the room. Vincent sighed and shook his head.
"Not that one."
"Why not?" Denzel asked.
"Yuffie kept singing that tune every single time a battle ended… no matter how many times we asked her to stop. She didn't." Vincent explained. "It brings me nightmares."
"It's not that bad."
"It is bad."
Silence went between the two. Denzel pouted at Vincent, trying to make him take the ringtone. Vincent's eyes were glaring bright red at the boy seated in the chair.
"DENZEL!" Tifa shouted from downstairs. "We're back!"
"We're gonna make cookies before Cloud and Papa come home!" Marlene shouted.
Denzel stuck his head out and was about to bolt out of the room. By the time he got by Vincent, something yanked him from the back of the collar of his shirt.
He stumbled back and looked up to see Vincent.
"Just get me a plain, ringing tone, like a telephone and I'll let you have cookies." Vincent growled.
Denzel stormed back to the chair and did some typing and clicking. He then clicked download once it was found and was on Vincent's phone.
He then unhooked the USB cord and placed it in the box. He flipped open the phone, pressed a few buttons and a playing ringing noise you would here from a home telephone was heard.
"Can I go now?"
"Yes." Vincent took the phone from Denzel's hand and looked at it.
"Why not have that other ringtone as your—"
"There is NO way I am having that as my ringtone." Vincent said. "Thank you for your help. You can go and make cookies with Tifa and Marlene."
"Woo!" Denzel hit the log off button on the computer and ran down the stairs in a flash.
"Kids…" Vincent shook his head.
