He bowed his head to Vincent. "Nice to see you...though not how I would've preferred. Sephiroth huh? And Cait Sith too? what's going on? Where did you guys telport from?" What is Sephiroth up to? He was beyond confused. He glanced at Zell, the man in the black furred coat and pants, and the young woman in light blue. "Who are these guys Vincent?" He almost forgot Aeris. "I almost forgot, we just met this young woman." He indicated Aeris with his head. "So much for dinner."
Wincing at Vincent's cold tone, she took in her surroundings. Wow, the flowers are beautiful! She marveled at them and the cozy house nearby. "I'm glad you're alright Zell! What happened? Are these your friends?" Only one of the others was human she noted. A...fire lion? The girl is pretty. What the...he can talk!?

"Soon enough, Midgar will be destroyed, just as it should be..."
Vincent whispered under his breath. He slowly walked away from his group toward the oddly familiar woman in the pink dress.
"Hello, Miss Gainsborough." He spoke, finally remembering the woman's name. She was the only woman in this cursed city who actually cared about the earth and how Shinra was slowly killing it.

Squall mentally cursed. What in the world was going on?! Suddenly, he found himself, along with his classmate and new acquaintances, standing next to a bunch of flowers, thoroughly disturbing the young woman in pink, surprising the red lion creature, giving everyone else an adrenaline rush, and he still had no idea where they were. And all the words being tossed around... Sephiroth? Midgar? Gainborough? Cloud? Nanaki?
"Nanaki? I thought your name was... nah, nevermind!" Zell threw up an ear-to-ear grin, overzealous of the odd turn of events. Of course, this meant they had to cancel dinner, unless Aeris's mother planned on serving a party of five or more!

Nanaki looked at Zell apologetically. "I'm sorry for giving you my nickname, but one never does know. You may call me Nanaki however. Vincent, that young man frowns darker than you do." He looked at Squall curiously, imagining the two of them having a staring contest. It made him laugh. "He looked back at the young woman. "You may call me Nanaki as well. Yes, I can talk quite well. My species is a rare one."
"Thank you, i'm Rinoa. It's nice to meet you! Rare indeed. Sorry for spoiling dinner. I assure you we're kind of startled ourselves. It's uh, my fault." She almost reached out to pet him on impulse. She gazed at Squall and Vincent. I hope I didn't make themreally angry.

"These are people from Balamb and Timber...Squall is the one in leather, Rinoa is in blue, and of course, you already know Cait." Vincent replied to Nanaki's question. Seeing the look on Zell's face at the name he had called Nanaki, he had no choice but to smile. "Hey, Nanaki, I do not frown, I simply remain indifferent. And if Miss Gainsborough does not wish to feed all of us, which I highly doubt she does, we can always head over to 7th Heaven."

Zell's head was starting to spin. "Oh, head ruuuuuuuuuuuuuush!" At the cool, questioning eyebrow Squall raised at him, Zell scratched his head. "Could someone explain what's been happening?" And in an amazingly complicated 5-minute shpeal (OOC: heard the word somewhere, felt like using it, not sure if it makes sense, but oh well ) Zell suddenly found himself more inflicted with a headache and still able to understand all the things that occurred. "Geez, only a few hours? I've been here for most of a night!" "That might have something to do with the transportation. The two locations are separated by a great distance, metaphorically as well as physically. While it is day in one, it is night time in the other," Cait explained."Oh, man. I just wish I ate something for lunch..." His stomach growled ferociously, an embarassment that made him blush, and Squall rubbed the bridge of his nose, his expression suddenly emotionless again. He didn't want to show it, but he was happy Zell was all right, hopeless as the guy was. Zell had explained how he had met his two companions, and the occurences that he endured as well. It was amusing to Squall that the usually careless martial fighter had survived an onslaught after appearing in someone's bathtub. Everything about Zell was silly. It was one of the things about him, coupled with the traits of his other comrades, that Squall enjoyed in people's company. Rinoa's cheerfulness, Vincent's familiarity.... they were becoming traits he was growing accustomed to as well.

((OOC: Yuffie should pop in here!! 'Specially 'cause Vincent is here....And me loves Yuffie!! Her and Zell would be hilarious together!!))
"Well, I am sorry to break up this reunion but If we do not get out of the open soon, we will be suspect to a SOLDIER raid. I do not know about the rest of you, but I am not in the mood to deal with them."
Vincent said curtly. He glanced about the area, searching for men in dark colours carrying weapons, a tell-tale sign of a SOLDIER member.
"Zell, it is nice to see you again. Squall has been worrying like a mother hen about you, but please, can we all find another place to speak? I fear that talking in the open is not such a smart idea."
Vincent seemed to fear something in particular about this city, no ust the fact that he was right about them being out in the open and SOLDIER members being a threat. Their was something else that seemed to be bothering him, something very personal.

"W-well...it's nice to meet you all.." Aeris said sheepishly as she looked about the crowd that had suddenly joined her. "I don't think that my house is big enough to hold you all...but perhaps I can help my mother with the cooking and we can have a nice outdoor feast. How does that sound, everyone?"

Zell mock-saluted the caped man, nodded happily, at Aeris's suggestion, and stared perplexed at Squall, who was doing his best to seem emotionless. Squall...worrying?
Aw! Squall really did care for other people! Zell laughed at the thought, until he realized that the joke wasn't just a jest; it looked like those unexplainable lines on the dark-clad man's face weren't from a lack of rest like he suspected. Alright! That does it! All the days I try to get out, and when I do, I miss a great moment in history! Someone.... Zell looked from Rinoa to Vincent, actually broke through the "Squall" barrier. I'm gonna find out how it happened if it's the last thing I do, he kidded to himself. He guessed there was something cool about seeing a change in that familiar face.

Nanaki nodded. "That would be excellent Aeris, thank you." He was sorry to have to make her and her mother cook for such a lot, but he was looking forward to it. He felt strangely at peace yet excited. It'll be sunset before long. I miss Cosmo Canyon's sunset. He glanced at Vincent, thinking the man had other things than beauty and peace on his mind.
He padded over to Vincent, queitly saying "That's a good idea. We can never be too cautious when it comes to Shinra." He looked around warily, instincts sharp and agitated. He smiled in his own way at Zell and the girl Rinoa's carefreeness.How did I get invovled with such a group?
Rinoa also nodded enthusiastically. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'll help in the kitchen if you want. I must admit though, I have a lot to learn!" Grabbing onto Squall cheerfully, she said "See? Everything is turning out for the best. We may have new friends and i'm sure the food will be good." They began walking towards Aeris's house, wanting to get out of plain sight.
Grinning at Zell, Rinoa called at to him "I see how it is! Hanging out with a cute girl and intelligent fire lion just to get out of class. Shame on you! You made us and Squall worry."

"Rinoa, I wouldn't call him a fire lion, I f I were you." Vincent joked. "He is more human than we are."
Vincent smiled slightly to himself, thinking of how he had gone to wondering about by himself to having such a versatile group of companions around him.
"It was almost too perfect, as if it would shatter soon, leaving him with only shards of the once semi-perfect part of his existance. He knew it was too good to be true. He had commited too many sins to have anytthing so good occur to him.
If he knew he could not expect to enjoy the feeling of companionship for much longer, he might as well enjoy it while he still had the chance.

Aeris smiled and walked ahead of the group. "This way, everyone!" She called out to them as she headed toward the house. "I'll make sure there's plenty of food for everyone."

Zell followed his friends, noting Squall's lack of resistance to Rinoa's strength. It was amusing, a brief change in him. In fact, there were a lot of connections starting to sprout between all of the people present. He noted how Nanaki and Vincent seemed to separate and go about their own paces, drifting further ahead or behind so as to not make the group seem too large and draw attention. Aside from all of that, he caught up with Rinoa briefly and smiled.
"You know, I've never skipped a class before." He said, trying to act cool. Squall tried not to scoff.
"Yeah, right." Both saw Rinoa's expression change, and sensing the situation's amusement, Zell joked with her a little bit along the way. As they neared Aeris's house, he ran ahead to Aeris. "If ya need an extra hand, I could help a little. I always watched my ma when she cooked things," he said helpfully. "Might as well help out if we're gonna burden ya like this."

Aeris nodded and smiled. "That would be wonderful, thank you!" She laughed as she opened the front door of the house. "Mother, i'm home!" She called out. "I hope you don't mind but I brought quite a few friends over for dinner. I promise to help with the cooking." She took a step in and motioned for the others to follow her.

Nanaki wasn't sure to think of the "fire lion" thing. "I'd prefer you to call me 'Nanaki'. My race doesn't have a general name persay" he said politely. She nodded, "Sure, I wasn't sure what to call you. You are rather unique after all." Nanaki glowed inside at the compliment. His race was very important to him. Listening to Aeris, he followed her. He and Vincent switched around according to what the group was doing, trying to make them inconspicuous if that was possible.
Nanaki was hardly able to register the house before having to step out of the way. The house was cozy, but didn't leave a lot of room for the number of visitors. Backing into a corner, he sat on haunches to see what they would do next.
Still amused at her converstation with Zell, Rinoa walked merrily along with the group. Humming contently, Rinoa had her first thoughts of home since they left. I hope we can get back. There are things to do as of yet. Vincent must know, it seems he came from this place after all. It's like the orphanage. She almost stopped in her tracks. What orphanage? That was random.
Shaking it off,her eyes were greeted by the cute little house that Aeris called home. Squeezing in was interesting. The young woman was looking forward to reaction of Aeris's mother, partly out of curiousity, personal amusement, and it would give them an idea of what Aeris's mother was like. What's it like to have a mother? Everyone enjoys it, so it must be nice huh?
Smiling mischeviously, she slinked behind and Squall and asked in a hushed voice "Did you ever have a home or mother like this?"
