That time again, huh...

Hey, does anybody know what the housing situation's like? I haven't counted the number of empty houses or checked out the apartments... should we be worried about having enough room for everyone? We've been getting a lot of New Feathers every month lately.

Oh, and... hey, Aerith, can I talk to you about something?

[Edit - Private to Cloud]

We need to talk, too.

[Edit 2 - Private to John - somewhat hackable :|]

Hey, doctor. You're monitoring this, right? Let's talk.

[Zack leans in to study it, though he doesn't reach out. Something like that seems too important for him to just take it.]

That's... materia? And your real mom was Ifalna, an Ancient...

It's a lot to find out, huh? [She will refrain from telling you about how this little white orb is responsible for the planet still being intact. ...unless you ask, of course.] I never was a normal girl. [Much as she'd wanted to be.]

[He would if he knew to ask about it.] Actually... I did know you were an Ancient.

Back then, you mean?

Yeah. Before Nibelheim. Remember when I went to Costa del Sol, after Angeal died? ["After I killed him" but nevermind that.] Cissnei told me.

...I didn't want to be one. ButI couldn't have helped everyone if I wasn't, so...it's not so bad.

You saved the world, right? Or... you will, I guess. It's not because you're an Ancient, though - just like Cloud didn't save people because he was a SOLDIER, or as strong as one, anyway. It's because you're you.

[...That gets Zack a full, genuine smile, and a kiss on the cheek.]

Right. I'm going to do it because I want to, and I can. And...it'll be good. [Ignoring what crazy!Cloud said about it "not being worth it".]

[He does good sometimes! And ignore crazy!Cloud, he's retarded.]

That's the spirit! That's the Aerith I know and love.

No more droopy Aerith. [She's happy snuggled up with him right now.]

Yeah, if you get depressed all the flowers will notice, right?

That's right! Sunshine and water and lots of love--that's how flowers grow.

You'll have to give them extra love for all these sad faces you've been making this week. The flowers around here are really fussy.

Are you a fussy flower too? [Tap on the nose.] Maybe...a sunflower. Big and bright.

A sunflower? [She gets another laugh for that one.] Should I go blond too, then?

...[Headtilt.] I can't see you blond. [SHE'S TRYING.] I think Cloud will stay the only blond in this house.

Probably for the best. Dark haired people get all the smarts and sensibility, right? [Yes, Cloud is a dumb blond.]

Including the sensibility of saying that where he won't hear you? [He'd probably start another wrestling match with Zack for it.]

That goes without saying. [Hopefully by now they've learned to keep the wrestling outside the house.]

[~~And out of the garden.~~ Although Zack did start some wrestling in the house during that experiment. |D] I felt like saying it anyway.

...Red hair's out, too. [Aerith, stop trying to picture Zack with different hair colors.]

I already have mako eyes. If I had red hair I'd practically glow all over, I'd be so colourful! [But it's so adorable.]

[Giggling now because yes, mental image of Zack with cotton candy pink hair? So stuck in her head now that she's thought of it.] You'd definitely catch a lot of attention.

I don't know if I want a lot of attention. It might get me into trouble with my girls. [Cross-dressing Cloud counts.]

I'm not the jealous type. ...Well, maybe a little. Afraid I can't speak for Miss Cloud. [They're so mean to him.]

Oh, he gets jealous really easily. He'll probably be seething about us being together until we get his memories fixed. I'm hoping he behaves himself.
