Mother Dearest
Chris stood next to the large window. Nibelheim could be seen in the distance. Chris looked over at his girlfriend, Alexis, and smiled. Alexis was curled up on the couch wearing one of his sweaters. The faint smell of cigarette smoke made Chris look up at his best friend, Roy Highwind. Roy was the youngest nephew of the Jenova War hero, Cid Highwind. They were almost exactly alike, Roy and Cid, the only difference was Roy still smoked, but didn't cuss as much as Cid.
Chris sat down next to Alexis, who in turn snuggled into him. Roy made a gagging sound as Chris put his arm around her, causing Chris to roll his eyes. It would still take awhile to reach his childhood home.
Chris could already smell the scent of Chocobos before Roy's prized airship landed. Alexis, now awake, stood beside him, shaking slightly. Chris took hold of her hand. Roy walked up behind them after the airship landed, "Well what are we waiting for? The foods getting' cold!"
The trio began to mosey to Chris' mother's home.
Chris had not been joking when he said his mom and Tifa had been close friends. They were exactly alike! When Chris and them walked in, it was as if they were staring at a blond version of Tifa. There were other differences besides being blond, such as being shorter and having a smaller chest.
Chris walked over to the woman and hugged her, "Hey mom."
The woman hugged back, "Chris! It's about damn time you showed up!"
"Sorry, blame Roy."
The accused poked his head out of the kitchen, "It's not my fault you decided to bring your girlfriend!"
"Roy, you showed up half an hour after we got on your airship."
Roy pouted and went back into the kitchen. Chris' mother turned to Alexis and smiled, "You must be Alexis. I've heard a lot about you."
Alexis smiled back, "Good things, I hope."
"Of course! I don't think Chris knows how to say anything bad about you…"
Chris just smiled and shook his head. And he was worried they wouldn't get along. They were talking as if they were close sisters.
