Uhh.
"Oh man, this is great stuff."
What happened?
I'm still alive.
"Must be, he's already talking to himself. Ah, not that I would know," says Lucia quickly.
"Surrrre."
After Cloud goes through a few moments of getting himself to come to, he finds himself in a flower garden of sorts, with the flower girl he ran into in the Sector 7 slums.
"Flowers? Here?"
"I don't know why, but this is the only place in the slums where flowers will grow. I love it here."
"I'm sorry I crushed your flowers."
"Yeah, thanks a lot you f***ing moron!" shouts Lemina.
"Well you're lucky to still be alive."
"Yeah, what a pity."
Just then some sinister looking people come into the church and interrupt happy time with their bad attitudes, and their evil bad guy music. Aeris gets worried about them, so Cloud says he'd help her. They run into the back, and are followed by the bad guy music, but Aeris trips and stumbles, and is almost caught by the pursuing Shinra agents, but Cloud throws a barrel on them from above to stop them all three times, Aeris then rejoins Cloud as they go to the Sector 5 slums. Once there, Aeris decides to pay Cloud to be her bodyguard in exchange for one date.
The group gets up and starts dancing.
"I can be your bodyguard, if you can be my long lost love. I can call you Aeris, but Aeris when you call me, you call ME Cloud!"
However everyone stops when Ronfar hits the high note of 'me' for a screech ends up coming out of his mouth that sounds like a drowning cat, with a massive hairball, clawing away at a chalkboard.
Once at Aeris' home, her mother lets them rest, but asks Cloud to leave without her. Not wanting to put Aeris in any more danger that what she already is, Cloud agrees. The young Aeris also tells Cloud that she likes him, as possibly more than just a friend.
Jean decks Ronfar.
"Ow. What was that for?"
"You were going to say something sick."
"Maybe, but still. Sheesh."
As Cloud tries to leave without alerting Aeries, she catches up to him, before he can start the trip there. Cloud then reluctantly allows her to come along. En route they arrive at an old abandoned park of sorts. Where Aeris wants to sit and just talk for a moment. Cloud complies. A short time later a small caravan of sorts comes along, and Cloud sees Tifa on it. So, Aeris and Cloud chase after her. Here they find out that a man named Don Corneo has her. He is a greedy little man who is involved in many illegal activities.
"Well, he who blows up reactors at will shouldn't throw stones."
But, he is deeply involved in prostitution. Of which Tifa has apparently gotten herself into somehow. So, Cloud has to dress up like a woman in order to find out what has happened to Tifa. Which he reluctantly agrees to.
"Come on Cloud! Be a real man!" shouts Ronfar.
"You would know."
After getting fully decked out with cologne, a pretty dress, make up, the whole nine yards, Cloud gets ready to roll. They go into Corneo's Mansion, and meat up with Tifa. They found out that Don Corneo picks a "bride" every so often, and Tifa had heard about him, and wanted to stop him, and this was the only way she knew how. So, Tifa, Aeris, and the now female Cloud are brought before Don Corneo, and he chooses Cloud.
"Ewww!!!"
Cloud then wards off the sickening Corneo, until Tifa and Aeris arrive, and Cloud reveals himself as a man. Corneo then says that Shinra hired him to find Avalanche, and that they are going to blow the support beam above the Sector 7 slums just to get to Avanlache. Then he activates a booby trap, sending the four of them into the sewers. After fighting a giant creature they quickly make it out, and hurriedly run over to Sector 7.
"Run, Forrest, Run!"
Upon arriving, they see a huge battle, with lots of gunfire taking place at the top of the support tower. Just then Wedge gets shot from way up above and goes flying down to the ground below.
"Hey, I can see my house from herrrrr...PLOP!"
"Oh my God! They killed Kenny!"
"Aeris, could you please go find a girl named Marlene, and get her to safety?"
"And away from the sauce."
"Sure."
"Let's go, it looks like Shinra is already here."
"Well, DUH! What was your first clue, the gunfire, or falling bodies."
