Cloud: *shrugs*
Izzy: (yes, basically)
Aki: (XD)
Aki: (Sora = perfect weapon)
Izzy: (of course XD)
Izzy: ("How did you beat him?")
Izzy: ("well, I cried until he felt sorry for me...")
Aki: (XD)
Aki: (“WithOUT degrading myself”)
Izzy: (yes)
Aki: (don’t we wish Leon and Cloud had short attention spans too)
Izzy: (oh, yeah...)
Izzy: (life would be so much easier)
Aki: (yeah XD)
Aki: (...Sora wants to run in and tickle Cloud)
Aki: (I'm holding him back)
Izzy: (....I would be amused)
Izzy: (but it would ruin everything XD)
Aki: (yeah XD)
Aki: (another time, Sora..)
Aki: (Sora: D: fine)
Aerith: ...*crosses arms* You two had better clean this mess up together.
Leon: ...what mess?
Aki: (Cloud response XD)
Izzy: (yes XD)
Aki: (8D)
Cloud: .........
Aerith: ...Do you see the icky black goop all over the floor?
Leon: ...
Aerith: It's called emo. Clean it up.
Izzy: (actually, it was probably anti-form shedding. -_-)
Aerith: *walks off*
Aki: (haha anti form shedding? XD)
Izzy: (yes XD)
Aki: (anti form shedding is more of wisps of black everywhere)
Aki: ( XD)
Yazoo: ...I don't...see anything..
Leon: *shrugs* me either.
Yazoo: *leaves*
Izzy: (XD)
Loz: *goes outside to play in the garden because he's bored*
Aki: (haha of course)
Izzy: (hee)
Sora: *tacklekadaj*
Kadaj: Hi Sora! :D
Sora: *tickles him* Hiya!
Kadaj: Mother got me new clothes~
Sora: :DDD YAY.
Aki: (...Sora just attracts silver haired men...have you noticed? XD)
Izzy: (yes? XD)
Aki: (XD)
Aki: (It makes me laugh~)
Cloud: ..........
Sora: *glances at Cloud with an evil grin*
Riku: *grabs the back of Sora's collar*
Sora: DDD:!
Riku: You jumped on him enough today
Sora: but but buttttttt!
Sora: Leon, make a funny face, maybe it'll make Cloud laugh~ *gets dragged off, dragging Kadaj with them*
Kadaj: that would be funny~
Sora: Yeah~
Leon: Again...Sora will be Sora...
Cloud: .........
Leon: what, you're practically asking for me to take Sora's advice.
Cloud: What?
Leon: to make a funny face, not that I could...
Leon: We can't have this fall apart, we've worked too hard together.
Aki: (Leon at least admits it XD)
Izzy: (awww)
Leon: *Climbs up on the counter to grab the sugar, and jumps back down, only to end up leaning against the wall*
Cloud: ...what was that?
Leon: My side hurts, that's all.
Leon: And I fell.*shrugs*
Cloud: ....how long has it been...
Cloud: I guess it would still be bothering you.
Izzy: (Cloud's worse than Leon -_-)
Izzy: (he was more recently stabbed)
Aki: (yeah)
Izzy: (though you realize....they got stabbed in the same place)
Aki: (XD)
Izzy: (now they have matching scars.)
Izzy: (>.>)
Aki: (haha)
Aki: (though, Cloud had some Cure on his wound, and Leon's would take longer to heal because magic couldn't be used on his)
Izzy: (true)
Aki: (and Leon MOVES too much)
Aki: (though it's not as bad as if SORA had a non-magic healing wound XD)
Izzy: (yes....)
Aki: (Sora would have to be tied to a bed and tranquilized)
Izzy: (>.>)
Aki: (It's probably true)
Izzy: (...)
Izzy: (Leon....doesn't really remember why he got that injury, does he)
Aki: (he does, actually. )
Aki: (which is a start)
Izzy: (huh)
Aki: (well, he remembers it better than other Cloud-related things, that is)
Aki: (...wtf)
Aki: (amusing mental image)
Izzy: (yes)
Aki: (no no. My mental image...of Cloud and Leon)
Izzy: (?)
Aki: (I'll draw it)
Izzy: (:D)
Aki: (...nooo Leon's losing Memory!)
Aki: (D: )
Izzy: (D:?)

Izzy: gooooooooooood morrrrrrrrrrnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggggg Ichigoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Izzy: ....
Izzy: hahaha
Aki: :D
Sora: ....*tilts head*
Aki: :D Hi Sora
Sora: *blinks before rubbing eyes*
Aki: aww, not awake yet.
Izzy: morningggg Sora
Sora: Mm.
Sora: Mm goin' t' bed..*yawns * *goes to Riku's room*
Izzy: don't let the...ummm, Nobodies bite....
Sora: They haf'a unzip their mouths first...*closes door*
Izzy: (oh, Sora)
Aki: (haha Sora)
Aki: (I love that kid <3)
Izzy: (me too XD <3)
Aki: (xD Every Sora!emo time, Riku knows what to do now :D )
Izzy: (yep. TICKLEEE)
Izzy: (mercilessly)
Aki: (XD)
Leon: ....
Leon: *straightens up, crosses his arms*
Aki: (Okay, seriously, one of the only things Leon remembers is "Did I just get dumped?")
Izzy: (...............)
Izzy: (*dies*)
Izzy: (well, of course, the party)
Aki: (XD)
Aki: (Jeez, give Leon a bit more credit. He remembers more than he thinks he does. )
Aki: (He's just not referencing it)
Izzy: (haha)
Leon: ....I give up. *puts one of Merlin's spells on the kitchen to make dinner*
Leon: *leaves the room*
Aki: (....uh.)
Aki: (okay..)
Izzy: (right then.)
Cloud: ......
Cloud: *heads for the door*
Izzy: (motorcycle time. *sigh*)
Leon: You just keep doing that when things don't go the right way.
Leon: And then I have to go get you.
Leon: Just stay.
Cloud: ....
Cloud: "...don't go the right way?"
Cloud: Since when did things ever go the right way?
Leon: ....I thought all of us together was right, I thought that sticking together through tough times was right.
Leon: I guess I was wrong. Excuse me.
Cloud: ....it has nothing to do with that! Just because we're all together, doesn't mean things are going to change!
Cloud: And now it's never going to go back to the way it was.
Leon: ....
Cloud: How would you know how much of a difference it makes?
Cloud: You don't even know what you've lost!
Cloud: ....*pauses, turns away*
Leon: ...
Cloud: .................sorry.
Leon: It's not fine.
Leon: *leaves the house*
Aki: (oh ho. )
Izzy: (ehhh XD)
Izzy: (we're horrible)
Izzy: (but I guess they had to argue some time)
Aki: (yeah. Actually, Leon WOULD have forgiven him. )
Aki: (But, he still doesn't know how to handle emotions too well without Shiva)
Izzy: (yeah....)
Aki: (I swear, Shiva's some sort of drug)
Izzy: (it's all right though, because Cloud needs to feel guilty for saying that)
Izzy: (at least he deserves it this time around, because it wasn't fair for him to say that)
Aki: (yeah)
Aerith: ...*glances at Zack* That didn't sound good.
Cloud: *goes to his room*
Izzy: (...haha...punishing himself)
Aki: (haha they switched habits)
Izzy: (You've been a bad boy, Cloud.)
Aki: (I swear, they're too alike XD)
Izzy: (haha)
Aki: (And don't come out of your room until you're calmed down D: )
Tifa: ...what was that?
Aerith:...Lover's spat.
Tifa: *stares at her*
Izzy: (oh, Aerith XD you fangirl.)
Aki: (OFF TRACK XD)
Izzy: (SORRY D: XD)
Aki: (*HUG* ITSOKAY)
Aerith: ...They fought.
Tifa: *looks down*
Aerith: Leon left the house, and Cloud went to his room.
Tifa: And here I thought things were going to be okay...
Tifa: I guess I spoke too soon.
Tifa: Or...thought. *looks at Aerith*
Aerith: I'll take Cloud, he's more difficult to reason with...And I've had to sort this out before...
Tifa: I'll...go find Leon, then.
Tifa: I hope he hasn't done anything rash yet.
Aerith: I doubt he has.
Aerith: *goes down the stairs, and down the hall to Cloud's room*
Tifa: *walks to the front door and opens it*
Leon: *off to the side of the door, on the stone steps*
Tifa: ...Aerith was right...
Leon: *quickly lifts his head, startled*
Leon: ....
Tifa: ...sorry. You probably don't want to talk right now.
Tifa: But...
Tifa: *sits down on the other side of the steps*
Leon: ...*sighs and lowers head again unsure of how to respond*
Tifa: I'm sure you think...none of us could even imagine what it's like.
Tifa: *turns to look at him* But I have had a stranger insist they were my closest friend.
Tifa: At least....
Tifa: *leans forward and wraps her arms around her knees*
Tifa: I've known Cloud for a long time. Whichever....life it may be.
Leon: I understand that...I just...
Tifa: I don't think he's angry at you. He probably thinks it's his own fault, somehow.
Tifa: He does that a lot.
Leon: I...know. I just...
Leon: I just miss him, I guess...
Tifa: y-yeah...
Tifa: *puts her face down* S-sorry...it's just hard, with you two like this...
Tifa: I don't like seeing either of you hurting, for any reason.
Leon: I know. We have to keep it together...I just...I don't know...
Tifa: He's...still there. In...your heart, right?
Tifa: You still remember things...
Leon: I'm--what?
Leon: Yeah, I suppose I do...
Tifa: like...how he's bad at cooking. *laughs a little*
Leon: It was funny...
Leon: He has his moments...
Tifa: At least Aerith can follow a recipe if she wants to, but Cloud is hopeless...
Tifa: mmm.
Tifa: I'm sure....little by little...
Tifa: I mean, from now on is what matters, right?
Leon: Yes, but we each have a little of each other...
Leon: ...if we lose it, we'll be lost for a time...
Leon: But I was saying...earlier to Cloud, that...all we can do...is keep it together.
Tifa: *nods* right...together. Like family.
Leon: *nods*
Izzy: (oh, Tifa, you and your obsession with having a family...)
Aki: (haha, Leon's all for it. XD)
Aki: (Zack's dad, Aerith's mom, Clou--nevermind XD)
Izzy: (hahah)
Leon: Right..
Leon: *sighs* I just didn't think...he'd say that...
Tifa: ....what...did he say?
Leon: He said nothing ever goes the right way...and that I don't know what I've lost.
Tifa: ...*looks down*
Leon: I...do know what I've lost though.
Tifa: Of course...
Tifa: This probably sounds silly, but I don't think he meant it.
Tifa: He's just...scared.
Leon: He told me he was, a while back. I'm scared too. He said sorry...
Leon: I know he didn't mean it, but I can't help but dwell on it a little...
Tifa: *nods*
Leon: I don't think he realizes though, how lucky he is to have you around. *smiles slightly*
Tifa: *blinks*
Tifa: W-well, I've...done my best to stick with him...
Tifa: He's kind of...like a kid sometimes...
Leon: we're all a bit childish when we're upset...
Tifa: *nods again*
Tifa: I don't...know what will happen from now on, but...
Tifa: I'm sure, if you both want to care, that it'll turn out all right.
Leon: *nods*
Izzy: (...they’re so reasonable. I love it. XD)
Aki: (XD)
Izzy: (not like talking to Cloud at ALL XD)
Aki: (haha)
Leon: no doubt Aerith's talking to Cloud..
Aki: (haha)
Aki: (he knows all)
Aki: (*SHOT*)
Tifa: Yeah...she said she'd go find him.
Tifa: I was going to, but...I think it might be better this way.
Tifa: After all, if he feels like he's lost you...well, we lost her once, too.
Tifa: She'd probably understand better.
Leon: I didn't die though, so...it would make it a bit harder...
Tifa: .....true.....
Leon: ...Call him an annoying little ninja girl next time...it'll get his attention.
Tifa: ...what? *laughs*
Leon: I accidentally thought he was Yuffie one time...
Tifa: big difference there.
Leon: Yeah
Aki: (lol small talk)
Leon: ...It's difficult to get either of us out of our rooms...
Tifa: ...you can say that again.
Leon: *sighs* maybe I should go...see to it...
Leon: since I never took his apology...
Tifa: Well...good luck.
Leon: *nods and stands up*
Tifa: And you know, you can always talk to me if...oh, I don't know.
Tifa: You two are probably tired of my lectures by now.
Leon: Not really.
Leon: You have tons of interesting things that you seem to like to talk about.
Leon: I enjoy listening. *shrugs*
Tifa: Thank you, Leon.
Leon: Yeah.
Izzy: (haha, SOMEONE actually listens to her XD)
