-1Phones, Cats, Rings Oh My

Kat flipped her phone closed and sighed, everything was so messed up anymore. As Kat turned back to Vincent a creek came from the upper floors. Kat whipped around and looked to the stairs, there was nothing. As Kat approached the stairs she could hear faint sounds of something moving. Kat started up the stairs looking back at Vincent to make sure he was still there. Kat looked back up the stairs and continued. As Kat got to the top of the stairs another sound came from her room. It was like something hard moving across the floor. Kat grabbed the cold handle of the door and turned it.

( Seventh Heaven)

"What was that about?" Cloud asked as Tifa hung up the phone.

"Kat and Vincent ended up at his place." Tifa said with a hint of concern.

"This is really weird, isn't it?" Yuffie said leaning on the bar. Cloud and Tifa looked at her with confusion. "Well think about it, Kat ended up taking the entire Seventh Heaven to her world and to the center of an apartment building. A war breaks out and then ends in what fifteen minutes. Then she disappears and when she does come back we find Vincent drunk. Seriously when have we ever seen him have more that one or two drinks? And now they are together again. You would think that they would be clinging to each other but they are shying away. Something happened that they aren't telling us. Whatever happened is starting to make things really weird around here. Not to mention Shin-ra has practically disappeared since we came back. The only word we have of them being back is what Kat said about the new president planning to put Cid's body up in town." Yuffie paused and looked at both Tifa and Cloud. Aya was upstairs with Marlene.

"Yuffie has a point, Vincent is acting like he has forgotten that he ever loved Kat. Before the war he came to me and asked me how he should propose to Kat. What happened to change him wanting to marry Kat?" Cloud looked genuinely shocked at what Tifa said. Yuffie turned a redish-pink color.

"If he was going to ask Kat to marry him he must have given it a lot of thought. You know him, he never rushes things." Cloud said.

"Well he thought about it enough to go and buy a ring." Tifa said as Yuffie who was playing with the plastic cover of the Bar fell off her seat.

"A ring?!" Yuffie exclaimed as she got up. Aya walked downstairs and asked.

"What about a ring?"

"Turns out Vincent was going to ask Kat to marry him." Cloud said like he didn't care.

"What do you mean 'was'?" Aya asked sitting at the bar with them.

"Well Vincent and Kat haven't really been normal around each other. We figure something happened and they got in a fight or something." Tifa said giving Aya a soda.

"You would think that after all that has happened they would have forgiven each other." Aya said opening the soda with a pop of the can.

"You would think so." Cloud said in a tone that was indifferent.

[Shin-ra

"Damn it, find me that portal!" Kate yelled at a group of SOLIDIERS, they saluted and walked off.

"Damn she is creepy when she gets pissed." Reno said to Rude. The two were standing at a distance from Kate looking at her.

"And you complained that Rufus was a pain in the ass." Rude said as they followed a group of SOLDIERS through the camp at the northern crater.

"Why can't they find it. What happened?" Kate asked herself as she paced her boots crunching in the snow. "When we all came back here the only person alive that was against me was Kat." Kate stopped pacing her face molded with rage. "That damn girl caused this." Kate stalked through the camp fuming with rage. When she saw Reno and Rude walking behind some SOLDIERS she called them back.

"Yes president?" Rude said as the two reached Kate.

"Get the other Turks and go hunt down that Cetra. She is the one who fucking closed the portal and she is the one who can open it again."

"Right away." Rude said and turned Reno followed.

"So we are lookin' for the project again."

[Kat

Kat pushed the door opened looking into the room she saw nothing but what should be there. Something warm and soft brushed her leg, when Kat looked down she gave a yelp of surprise. At her feet was an over fed over groomed Chibi.

"Chi!" Kat said picking up the cat and hugging him. Chi gave a small meow.

"Kat!" Vincent yelled getting up the stairs as fast as he could in his state.

"Vincent its Chi." Kat said turning to him in time for him to trip and take both of them down. Chi managed to jump out of Kat's arms before they hit the floor.

Kat sat up and brushed her hair out of her face when Vincent started laughing. Kat looked at him he was just laying on his side hair in his face laughing.

"That cat makes you smile more than I do." Kat didn't share his enthusiasm she just stared at the floor. Vincent sat up and looked at her.

"Kat, I didn't mean to make you sad." Vincent said now seemingly sober.

"Its not your fault Vincent." Kat said with a tone of anguish.

"Come on, smile or I'll put Chi in a tutu and dye his fur pink." Vincent said as Kat literally burst out laughing. Vincent smiled and pulled her in a hug. Vincent let Kat go when Chi pushed his way between the two. Kat smiled and scratched behind Chi's ear sending him into a purring frenzy. Vincent just watched as Kat scratched Chi's ears.

Might as well do it stud. Chaos said to Vincent. Vincent sat up completely into a kneel and pulled the little velvet covered box from his pocket.

"Kat, I know we have had things hard for a long time. I questioned my love for you, and have come through." He opened the box revealing a gold ring with a single diamond on it. Kat who was looking at Vincent with shock gasped. "Kat will you marry me?"
