Cid swayed back and forth with the music as it played from the stereo in the Shera.

"If trying, yeah, we're breaking free…"

"New world in scanner."

"Took you long enough, I thought these holes went faster than the speed of light and time." Cid held on to his seat as the ship flipped into the new world.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Barrett held his cell phone up to his ear and listened for anyone to pick at the Seventh Heaven. "Nope, third time this week. I think I should be concerned, but no…"

"No answer still." Yuffie sat across the table at Cid and Shera's house.

"Nope, it's like they fell into a black hole of nothingness."

"Well that sucks." Yuffie leaned her head on her hand. "Hey, I have an idea."

"No."

"Come on, you haven't even heard it." Yuffie pouted.

"Yuffie," Vincent began, "We don't even need to hear it to say 'no'."

"Party poopers!"

"Fine Yuffie, what?"

"Let's play extreme hopscotch!" She jumped with excitement.

"If you insist, Yuffie. Fine, we'll play."

"But first," Red XIII interjected "we need more people."

"Hey, let's try that black hole over there." Barrett pointed.

They walked over to it. "So, what are we supposed to do with it?" Yuffie asked.

"We throw in this invite." Vincent held up the paper.

"What's it say?" Cocking her head Yuffie walked over and took the note from Vincent.

Dear Whoever Cares Enough to Waste Their Time (Because this is a crappy way to waste it),

We, Avalanche, are currently holding an extreme hopscotch and whatever Yuffie can come up with contest, and looking for others to participate in the 'fun'. We can ensure lots of refreshments and food, for currently the owner of the Seventh Heaven has gone missing (and don't worry, even though we don't know where she is, we won't be concerned enough to ruin the fun!), and we have access to everything in the kitchen. And plan to totally trash the place before they return, which maybe never.

So if you're in the mood for some good old fashion fun, come to:

349 South Shin-Ra Street

Edge, Earth, 12478

Come and enjoy the 'fun'…

Sincerely,

Avalanche

Yuffie wiped a tear from her eye. "Vincent, that was so beautiful. I didn't know you could be so poetic."

"Yuffie, is it that time of the month again?"

"No, Jerk!" She pushed him playfully. He felt himself blush a bit, and then back to misery.

"So let's throw this thing and get this party started." She smiled and tossed it into the hole.

"Now what do we do?" She turned to him. "The climatic, love/flirt scene is over."

"I know!" Cait Sith jumped up and down on Red XIII. "We play a quick game of extreme chess."

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!" Yuffie turned with jump and ran to get the chessboard.

"So…you said you were looking for someone." Rinoa turned to the little girl named Marlene.

"Yeah, I'm looking for my sort of kind of mom, Tifa."

"Oh." Rinoa crossed her arms and turned from side to side trying to find some bit of light to get them out of the woods.

"Hey!" Marlene pointed to a randomly placed airship.

"Huh?" Rinoa turned to see the ship. Wow, it's much bigger than the Ragnarok. I wonder how many flying buildings that thing could run into before it broke. That reminds of Squall. I wonder what he is doing. Does he miss me? She looked down to the two rings around her neck. She had given him another ring to replace the one Zell stole and gave to her. Wow, we really need to stop hanging out together. I'm starting to think for randomly long periods of time.

"Rinoa?" Rinoa turned back around and looked down at Marlene.

"Sorry, just thinking. Let's go!" Taking Marlene's hand the skipped towards the ship.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, we're off to catch the murder." Wakka said pacing back and forth on the bridge. Tidus was jumping ever since he had the pixie stick, as the rest didn't really know what to do.

"Let's follow him! Yeah, follow him! Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!" Tidus bounced up and down as he spoke.

"Tidus, how many pixie sticks have you had?" Lulu raised her eyebrow.

" Uh…mmmmm…" Tidus counted on his fingers. "Only like five." Holding up four fingers.

"Only five?" Rikku lifted her backpack and shook it until about one hundred empty pixie stick packets fell out on the floor.

"Yeah, like I said, I had 'like' five. Doesn't mean I actually had five."

"Ok…that's enough. We have got to catch this murder, and make him pay for what he did to Yuna." Lulu eyed Tidus who seemed to lose some of his energy after she spoke. "What is the matter?"

"Nothing."

"It's something."

"You know, none of this would have happened, if we hadn't run into those two twerps. I mean…" He turned and kicked the wall. "If we had known they were going to steal the aeons, even though I didn't really know what they were talking about because they kept referring to them as 'Eidolons' or something. I don't know…"

"Wow, Tidus, that was deep." Wakka looked wide-eyed at him realizing now he really could complete a real sentence.

"Yeah, I worked really hard on this speech. Do you know how hard it is to make that many sentences in a row?"

"I'm so proud of you, Tidus" Rikku patted him on the back.

"So, let's get going!" And with that Tidus turned to Cid and gave the signal to leave.

"Yes, finally, you idiots stop talking, and I can use my flashlight to bring terror. Muh-ha-ha-ha!"

"Umm…Auron?" Rikku gave a confused looked.

"I'll be in my room preparing…" He was halfway down the hall before the rest of the group heard. "The doom of this world and the next! Muh-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

And with that Tidus and Rikku turned one another and shrugged.

"So, how long have you been acting?" Tifa looked up from under her Little Red Riding Hood hood.

"I told you, I've never acting before in my life. Except one time with this guy, while we were on a date, but that was completely different." She powdered her face some more and looked at herself in the mirror. "I think I'm ready."

"Ok, then let's get this show on the road." Pulling her from the seat they ran to the stage.

"And now, let's go quickly over the part were doing before the real thing. Lights! Action!"

Tifa pretended to be skipping merrily down the path in the woods with basket in her tight grip as she waited for the 'wolf' to appear and attack her.

"Bahhhh!" The 'wolf' jumped from behind and bush and shook his face in front of Tifa.

"Oh crap!" Tifa instinctively roundhouse kicked the 'wolf' in the face. She was never one you'd want to sneak up on.

"No! That's not your line! And also when did Little Red become a kung fu queen! She can't even figure out how to get her grandma out of the wolf!"

"Sorry, I just am…really protective"

"Well, don't be. Let's do this again. And the line is 'Ahhhh!."

"Kay."

Everyone moved back into his or her previous positions. "And action!"

Now, Tifa, just think, 'skipping, happy, loving, Marlene, Denzel'…oh my gosh! The kids what if they're in danger right now, and I'm here skipping merrily waiting for an imaginary threat to come! No! Tifa twisted herself around and began to fight off imaginary creatures to protect the imaginary kids that were there. Unfortunately for our 'wolf' friend, as she was having this lash out his face was right in the target zone of her fist, and well, he got the smack down.

"Stop! Please! You insane woman! Get off me!" A group of men ran over and pried Tifa off of the man.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." She moved towards him.

"No," He batted her away. "Stay away from me. You now and forever shall be placed on the 'Accursed List', your name will forever be written under the two above yours. And the list shall forever read, 'Cloud, Squall' and now 'Tifa'."

"Ok, I'm leaving"

"There is no escaping the list. It is Yevon's oldest and most upheld law. There is no hiding." The man looked to where she was just standing and realized she had left during his speech. "Well, that was rude. And that as a comment next to her name, leaves during conversations."

"Will do sir."

"Now, everyone back to work! We're going to need to find a new Little Red."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So Cloud is here." Tifa turned to see if she had been followed. No one. "Ok, then. It's just me and Vincenza Easter now." She loaded the gun and walked farther down the path.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I need to pee." Squall was fidgeting in the small cell the elders of Kilka had set up for any evil in Kilka.

"No you don't." A soldier yelled at him.

"Yes, I do."

"No, you don't."

"Yes! I do!"

"No! You don't!"

"Yes!" Squall jumped and kicked the side of the cage. "I do!"

"I do, too!" Said another man who walked in on the conversation.

"Congratulations," the original man who was in the room spoke. "I now pronoun you, man and man. You," He gestured to Squall. "May now kiss your man."

"And Ma said, I'd never find someone."

"You know, " Squall began to back away. "I'll be in this corner."

"Don't you relieve yourself in that there corner, you hear!" The makeshift priest yelled. "I don't want to have to clean up any messes."

"Darn." Squall mumbled. "He's on to me."

"Don't worry, Squall, My Love, I won't let them send you to prison in Bevelle. Our love will stop them. You'll see."

"Ok, you gotta leave now." The make-shift priest, pushed Squall's new lover out the door, but not before Squall missed the man's cry.

"No matter what happens, Squall, My Love, I will find my way to you. Just come and I'll be waiting for you. I promise."

Yesh, I have a new lover, and I still need to go to the bathroom. I sure hope Rinoa is all right. Maybe I'll call her. Wait no reception. Hey, I have an idea. Our mind, love powers they will call to her. Hang on, Rin. I'm coming. Man, she is right I think to myself, way too much. I need to stop…can't do it...Must think…gah! I give up! I'm going to think like crazy and not care that everyone thinks I'm nuts.

Huh? Where am I? Irvine lifted his head and looked around. Being the lucky guy he is, an airship, with the word 'Shera' on the side landed about three feet from his head. And man with gray hair and blue shirt walked from the ship.

"Darn, I missed." Cid mumbled. "Hey, you ok?" Cid waved.

Irvine lifted himself from the ground; they seem to be in some sort of desert. "Yeah, I'm good. Do you know where the hot girls are?"

Cid turned from side to side and shrugged. "Beats me."

"Oh." Irvine looked to the ground disappointed.

"Hey, you can come with me." Cid motioned for him to come to the ship. Irvine followed him in suite.

"Wow, this sure beats the Ragnarok, that ships sucks compared to this. Ah, Selphie, you would just love this thing."

"Ain't she a beaut? Over-saw production on her myself, she is just so beautiful." Cid gestured for Irvine to sit next to him. "And listen to this." He pressed a small yellowish-green button to the northeast of the control panel.

'Living in my own world, didn't understand, that anything happen when you take a chance'

Cid lip-synced with the words. Irvine motioned for him to pause the song.

"What? Don't like my singing?"

"No," Irvine shook his head "it's not that. I just was going to say, you love High School Musical, too."

Cid nodded.

"That's awesome. At the Garden I go to, we preformed HSM for the school. I played Ryan, and my partner Selphie, she was Sharpay, were great. My best friend, Squall was Troy, and his girlfriend, Rinoa was Gabriella. My other best friend, Zell, was Chad, and Quistis played Taylor. It is my all time favorite musical."

"Well, then let's pump up this party." Cid turned the volume all they way up and two sang back and forth for hours.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Selphie, I told you I don't want to play any silly games. I'm getting worried. They've all been gone way too long."

"Maybe that black hole over there has something to do with it." Selphie pointed, and as she did Quistis noticed a white piece of paper on the ground.

"Look, Selphie!" She walked over and picked up the note. " A note."

"What does it say?" Selphie asked excitedly. Quistis read to herself.

"It's an invite to play extreme hopscotch."

"Oh, that's the exact idea I had. Hey, let's go."

"Now, Selphie, we don't even-" She turned just in time to watch Selphie jump in to hole. "Why do I even try?" And with that she followed her in.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, Cloud…where are we going now?" Calli asked.

"I don't know, probably to find Denzel. What the heck is this crowd for?"

"That's not a very nice word."

"What?"

"The 'H' word you said, it's mean."

"Don't worry when you're big like me you'll find that there are much more bad words."

"Like sh-" Cloud put his hand over her mouth before she finished, and then proceeded to say every word that a little girl shouldn't say.

"Yes, like those words."

"Hey, you two look lonely." And man in yellow and orange walked over to the two.

"We're not lonely." Cloud stated.

"I am Rin, I will accompany you from now on. So, you won't be lonely."

"I said, 'we're not lonely'"

"Of course you're not, because I'm here." Rin grabbed Cloud and Calli and pulled them away from the group. And suddenly Cloud realized, I left the oven on.

Author's note: Sorry it took so long, between finals, and just not being motivated, I just couldn't find time. I finally motivated myself, by reminding myself I'm going on vacation tomorrow and that's another week without this chapter, and I know you're all dying to read. With that all said, thanks to everyone who reviewed and all who read.  3
