Vincent started to clam up at Squall's question. Just tell the man the truth...it will be good for you to talk to someone about it...
"It was a long time ago, Squall. Her name was Lucretia and she was a scientist. She eventually left because she felt guilty for my father's death and later went with a fellow scientist. She soon got pregnant and decided to use her child as an unborn test subject. I objected to the use of living subjects and her current love interest shot and killed me....And here I am today." He said devoid of emotion. He had long since learned to hold in any type of emotional feeling about his past. He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.
"I look back now and realize if she hadn't been willing to do those horrible things to her unborn son, Sephiroth would never have been so emotionally damaged." As he spoke, Vincent couldn't help but think about the silver haired man and Vincent's own small ninja friend, or was she just his friend? He wasn't even sure about their relationship. Ever since the whole experience with Lucretia and Hojo, he had no been able to express any type of emotion toward a fellow person. He was too afraid of the past repeating itself. He did not need to accumulate more sins. God only knew he had enough as it is.

Squall slowly disgested the statement, and silently nodded. As strange as it sounded, it made sense, and didn't surprise him... too much.
"So that's who you were asking about. Lucretia and Hojo; your ex and her lover." He wanted an easier way of saying it, but that was the best he could do. He could see Vincent's dark expression in the rear view mirror, but as they left the illumination of the street lights, he lost the picture of Vincent and continued to watch the road again, mute once more.

Dozing blissfully unaware of the serious conversation going on around her, Rinoa only fell deeper into sleep. Her body would feel the effects of the alcohol she had consumed later. For now, she could slumber peacefully. Sitting upright, she began subconsciously shifting toward the window so she could lean her head against something. Frowning slightly, she began to dream.
It's a mansion, one i've never seen before. It's so dark. It's looks haunted or something, so why am I going inside? Dust, creatures shifting around, but they're backing away. this place gives me the creeps... She tensed, fists clenching. Oh no, not the basement. I hate being alone, i'm really scared. Somebody, come with me. A library, but not going there. There's something darker still. A locked room? There's a coffin...and someone's inside? Who? I'll open it...Fire!? The entire town...What do you want from me?! She shivered, but after sometime, began to slowly relax again, slipping out of the dream into regular sleep.

Vincent shook his head roughly. He didn't understand it but for just a moment he felt like someone was probing through his memories. He turned back to Squall, looking at him in the rear view mirror. "Yes, I have searched for them. Granted, they should be older due to the natural prossess of aging, but I would still like to find her and tell her of her son. I feel as though he deserves to know her, even if he does not truly understand. I woke up on an operating table and they were both gone. That is when I decided to go to sleep. I slept for years and still they never came back. I do hope that never happens to you." Vincent couldn't help but see the look of sadness in Squall's eyes. He wasn't sure what it was from, only that it was surely not the same as his own sorrow, but it was there nonetheless.
"Perhaps....I could act as an older brother...type thing...to you. You seem as if you need the companionship. You are just as detached from humans as I am, and you have not been asleep for years." Vincent cracked a slight smile at Squall's expense, hoping he would understand his jest.

He didn't take the comment the heart in public view; it would sink in much later, he knew, but until then, his instinctual defenses were up, and he'd push a distance if it meant not worrying about it in the future. Inevitable loss... not something he liked...
"You're at least twice my age, Vince. I don't know if that gap allows for healthy sibling rivalry." it was a bit uncomfortable to hear concerned words directed at him. He was usually aloof, so people never really knew him enough to give a genuine compliment. Still, he mused and felt a little regret for saying anything in reply to Vincent; it was probably a conversation left alone at that point.
He turned left and eased the car into a slow lane. In the back of his mind, he thought he saw Rinoa tense, but he could identify nothing different about her by streetlight. He continued coasting down the street. Another few blocks. Then he needed to escort Rinoa back to her place, and maybe walk with Vincent halfway back, upon which path he hoped was within walking distance of public transportation. There was no chance of a concert tonight; everyone was dizzy and drunk. Plus, Zell would probably kill him for excluding him from a night out. Bad idea. He slowed, knowing the red light was about to turn, and eased back into gentle speed as it shifted to green.
Long night... his thoughts seemed to be making it even longer...

Opening her eyes briefly, the raven haired girl commented "You look awfully serious" to Squall before turning back over. Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy...
Remembering the night event's, she sat bolt upright. Oh yeah, this is MY car. She looked in the back to the equally serious Vincent. "Anybody have any water? I don't really want a headache, whenever it comes. Did I miss anything? You looked almost spooked. " She was still tired, but wanted to know what's up so to speak.

"Water..." Vincent shifted slightly in his seat, remembering a few bottles of the liquid rolling on the floor of the car when he first entered. Picking up one of the slightly cooled bottles, he held it to Rinoa from the back seat. With a slight smile, he added, "It is not very cold, but it is still water..."
After Rinoa took the bottle from him, his thoughts retreated back to the matter of Squall. He could tell the man was putting on a facade, hiding his true emotions. His attention shifted to the brunette in the driver seat, his crimson eyes staring at the back of his shaggy head.
"Well, technically, you are correct that I am much older than you but in appearance I am not much older. I have never had a younger brother...I think it would be an...interesting experience." With that, he leaned back into his seat and closed his eyes.
However, his thoughts were interrupted by loud ringtone, sounding scarily like Aaron Carter. His eyes snapped open and he fought to stifle his growing laughter. Pulling the slim purple phone out of his cloak, he said, slightly ammused,
"I am going to kill her when I see her...I told her not to mess with my phone...It is bad enough I let her pick the colour of the thing..." Checking the caller ID, his guess as to who was calling was verified. He clicked the phone open.
"Yeah Yuffie? No, I am helping take a girl home. No!! I do not have her under some type of compulsion so I can seduce her!! You have been watching too many vampire movies if you think that I need to do that to get blood. Yes, I'll try to get back there to pick you up since even sober I wouldn't trust you on the road...What?!?! I am not going to have a threesome with these two! Where on earth did you get that idea, woman?!?!" A loud giggle was heard from the other end of the phone. Sighing deeply, Vincent put the phone back to his ear. "I thought I told you not to screw with my phone, Yuffie. Oh No, you didn't! Sephiroth amnd Liath are going to kill you, trust me on that...although seeing Sephiroth's phone ringing with the theme song from Gilligan's Island is very ammusing, he will not think so. What, you made Liath's a recording of Sephiroth professing his love? You messed with it on a computer? Good prank but he is going to kill you...just hope Liath is as ammused as you think she will be....Yeah, I will see you later." With that, he clicked the phone closed and finally noticed the two people in the front seat staring at him.
((OOC: I couldn't resist Yuffie calling him on a phone she jacked with....and I can just see her screwing with everyone's ringtones....))

(OOC: You do realize Yuffie did that during Advent Children? It's somewhere in the extras, remeniscesing about FF 7 and stuff like that. She keeps calling Cloud and using either Barret's or Cid's phone, something like that. Cloud wants her to stop calling . Ah, the humor.) Squall tried not to snicker at the man's infuriated display; it was hilarious, seeing the dark, gloomy man affected by a silly ringtone and defending himself as well against the impression the girl on the other end of the line was causing for him. Zell was woozy in the back seat. "Squall, I think I'm gonna hurl." "Don't you dare," Squall warned him darkly. "You retch and you'll clean it up yourself." The blond gave a sick groan and leaned against the car door, a good distance away from Vincent. Squall only hoped he wouldn't vomit, or else a very polite young lady beside him might turn rabid on him. Not that she looked like the crazy type at all, but he didn't want anyone else upset other than Zell's stomach.

((OOC: Yeah, I know!! She is hilarious....Apparently in Dirge of Cerberus or something, she is using Vincent's phone to call Cloud and he is with him....Vincent is like "Tell her to stop calling on my phone. It is my phone." It is supposed to show that he got a phone after Marlene asked him for one...and Yuffie and Vincent are the main character in DOC, they travel together....And I relized Yuffie only listens to Vince..its weird...))
Vincent grimaced at the sick man beside him, all smiles from his previous conversation fading.
"If he tosses his cookies on me, I am going to hurt him." Vincent said in a monotone voice.
"Squall, just pull over and save yourself the trouble. He looks like he is turning green."

"He'll live. He's too proud to let loose at a time like this."
Then again, if he does hurl, I might not live through the night. Squall tried his best to keep the ride smooth and speedy at the same time. Zell kept mumbling, something about a report and Selphie's obnoxious wake-up calls. Selphie was a girl whom Yuffie had a remarkable resemblance of, except Selphie was more bubbly and less... annoying.
The apartment complex was within sight now, and Squall drove down three streets surrounding the building before locating a free spot after passing it and deciding to circle the block to get back to it.

"Rinoa, we are here...Do you want us to walk you up? You do not look very steady..." Vincent asked quietly, having gotten out of the car and opened Rinoa's door for her and offered her a hand. "If you fall and pass out on the steps, I will never forgive myself."

"Yeah, I will eat your face if you lose whatever you ate in my car. It's fairly clean right now." Amused, Rinoa sat back with her arms behind her head. (Why do characters do this, it looks interesting, but actually not comfy unless you're lying on your back.)
Taking his hand gratefully, she pulled herself up, albeit a bit unsteady. "Yes, I would appreciate that. I'm just a little bit tipsy. By the way, nice phone color" she laughed, winking. "Yuffie sounds like fun." Lurching away for a moment, she bowed. "Thank for allowing me not to get kidnapped from apartment steps!' Laughing, she leaned on Vincent to keep from lurching again. Raising her fist, she cired "To Zell's! You better not leave us Squall, i'll never let you forget."

((OOC: ONLY I CAN EAT FACES!!!!))
Vincent easily supported Rinoa's slight form, keeping her steady and preventing her from falling flat on her face. He managed a smile, despite the odd comment.
"Yea, purple phone. Seems weird, I know. Yuffie, Cloud and Tifa decided that since when Cloud found me, I was in a purple coffin, it was only fitting for me to have a purple phone. Everytime I trade the thing in, they traded it back, saying I was slightly senile so now the clerk won't even let me in the store."
He shook his head, his crimson eyes sparking with silent laughter. Finally it dawned on him what Rinoa had shouted to Squall.
"Wait...Does this mean we are going to Zell's at some point later? I am so confused..."

Drop off Zell. Then take Rinoa home. Walk to Subway with Vincent, or wherever was halfway to their living places, then slpit up at some point and make it home before...
"Wahhhhh... thime ish...*hic* itshhh...*hic*...huh?" Zell was slurring as he half stumbled, half sleep-walked out of the backseat, over the curb, and onto the stairs, all which had fell flat on his face. Concrete. Cement. More cement with edges. He'd have a concussion on top of a hangover. Squall kept his distance, half because he was wary to Zell's upset stomach, but also because the blond was too proud now to be helped to his own apartment, having troubled a woman for her car and driven home by whom he considered to be his best friend. And Vincent had allowed him to sleep in the back room, too, so he didn't feel like trouble any of them again.
Funny... the things you realize when the alcohol starts draining out of your system. That and he needed to use the bathroom very soon.
He somehow made it to the top of the stairs, clawed his key out of his back pocket, and shoved it into the lock after some twelfth attempt. he turned back to the others, "Nowsh, be realshhhh quietshhhhhh......... thekkkerrr manaher ish ashleep, but he alwayshhh givesh a key for ush to getsh inssss. Sho, be realsh quietshh. I don'tssss wantsss to wake 'im." He promptly tripped over the threshhold and landed on his face. Again.
Squall jogged up the dislodge his friend from the floor, and he ended up dragging him towards the elevator across the room, waving a hand for Vincent to follow. The quartet stepped inside, and Zell sort of shouted, "Now ya knowsh whish ish my room, Shkwall?"
"Yeah, yeah," the gunblade specialist quieted him. "Seventh floor. Your favorite number." He checked that the rest were all set and pressed the number seven, watching the doors close softly.

Trailing after Squall and Vincent, part clumsy, part elegant, Rinoa continued leaning on Vincent as he led them to Zell's apartment. "Yes, we're going to Zell's. Where have you been mr.man?"
Stifling a giggle when Zell fell over, she slid into the elevator with the others. Because of the sudden movement of the elevator, she flopped into a corner as the elevator moved upwards. Most people would have been embarassed, but she paid no heed, staying where she was. Thinking outloud, she chirped "Good thing this isn't Squall or Vincent's apartment or else i'd be very suspicious. But Zell..." she waved her hand back and forth in the negative, "i'm not concerned." She grinned impishly. "What am I going to tell them tomorrow? 'I had three guys in my car and I wasn't driving!' Hee hee hee. Let's eat sumthing 'k?"
