*This is not 100 words. However, I love it too much to cut it up. Forgive me.*
"Please, Uncle Cloud?"
"You've heard it a million times already."
"Aww, come on. Tell me about Daddy."
"Well…He was tall. He had your color hair, and the same eyes as Matt. He was loud, and funny, and he was strong. And he loved you and your mom both very much."
"How did he love me? He never met me."
"He knew about you before you were born, and he couldn't wait to meet you. He just…had to go." Cloud met your eyes, as he did every time he told this lie. You didn't want her to know about Zack's horrific death.
"Uncle Cloud?"
"What, Skylar?" Your daughter, born after Zack left for Nibelheim.
"Can you be my dad too?"
"Well…not really."
"Pleeease?"
i God, to be young, and think "please" can get you anywhere you want to go./i
