Aeris : Thanks for helping me out here, you guys. After that last ramble, I really needed some relaxation

Shi’Iana : No problem. Jha’Meia really scared us with THAT one, didn’t she?

D’Brah : It would be interesting to have them here on a regular basis, though.

Shi’Iana : Yeah. Their moms and dad would be dating other people and we’d have to baby-sit ‘em at night. Hojo’d get more funny ideas, too. Smart one.

Aeris : They were adorable, though.

Shi’Iana : Sure they were.

Aeris : Just  looking at children sometimes makes me wish I had one too.

D’Brah and Shi’Iana : … … …

( Reno walks by )

Reno : Hey babes!

Shi’Iana : Hey Reno.

Reno : What’s up?

D’Brah : Aeris contemplating having a baby.

Aeris : I didn’t say that!

D’Brah : Your tone IMPLIED it.

Reno : ( jaw hanging )

Aeris : Just because my tone IMPLIED it doesn’t mean I meant it!

Shi’Iana : Come to think of it, Reno, how do YOU feel about having kids?

Reno : Are you CRAZY? I’m too young!!

D’Brah : Too bad. We thought you liked Aeris.

Reno : Yeah, well, she’s cute and all… but…

Shi’Iana : Besides, it’s not like you’d ever want to sleep with her or anything, so we might as well forget about the whole idea.

Reno : Hey!! ( thinks for a bit ) Hey…

Aeris : D’Brah! Shi’Iana! Stop trying to put funny ideas into Reno’s head!!

D’Brah : Oh, all right.

Shi’Iana : Let’s go put the idea into Irvine’s head instead.

Aeris : Hey…

Shi’Iana & D’Brah : ( run off to find Irvine )

Aeris : Hey!!

Reno : So… you free tonight?

Aeris : I have dinner with Sephiroth and the others tonight… ( thinks : OOPS!! WHY did I have to mention HIS name??? )

Reno : … I’ll kill him. ( stalks off )

Aeris : Oh no… ( runs after Reno )

Irvine : hi Aeris! I was just wondering… you free later?

Aeris : Errrmmmm well… I have to talk to Reno now…. See you.

Irvine : No, wait!

Aeris : ( hurries off )

Irvine : ( tails behind Aeris )

Sephiroth : Aeris! I was looking for you! About tonight, do you think we could make dinner more priv- ( eyes narrow at seeing Irvine ) YOU……

Aeris : Oh no…  Shi’Iana and D’Brah spoke to you, RIGHT???

Sephiroth : Well… yeah. ( glares at Irvine ) I still haven’t forgotten that I owe you something… ( pulls out masamune )

Irvine : Oh yeah? Still haven’t forgotten? Well, too bad! ( takes out rifle )

Reno : SEPHIROTH!!

Sephiroth : ( irritated with the delay of the mutual execution ) WHAT?!?

Reno : ( runs up to Sephiroth and punches him solidly on the stomach ) A little appetizer before the… ( takes out Nightstick ) MAIN MEAL!!!

Irvine : GIRL-STEALER!! ( hits Reno on the jaw )

Sephiroth : Wait till I get my hands on you, cowboy!!

Reno : Ya wanna piece of me?? Come and get it!!!

Aeris : Stop it!! Hey!! Isn’t anyone listening to me???

Jha’Meia : ( running into the tumultous scene ) I leave you guys for a while and this is what happens. WHAT IN THE NAME OF… WHATEVER PLANET THIS IS IS GOING ON NOW?????

Aeris : Shi’Iana and D’Brah’s fault.

Jha’Meia : And just what did they do now??

Aeris : I was saying how cute the children in the last rambles looked and Shi’Iana and D’Brah went out to put ideas into them.

Jha’Meia : ( looks suspicious ) What kinda ideas?

Aeris : ( sighs )

Jha’Meia : Oh-kay. Then?

Aeris : I told Reno I couldn’t go out with him because I’m having dinner with you guys, and he took it the wrong way and went looking for Sephiroth. I tried to stop him, but IRVINE came and I told him I had to talk to Reno, then HE took the the wrong way too, and then SEPHIROTH came by and took Irvine’s being with me the wrong way, too, and now I don’t know what to do!!!

Jha’Meia : … … This is what letting Shi’Iana and D’Brah get into mischief does for you.

Aeris : ( wrings hands ) What’re we going to do??

Jha’Meia : ( looks at the scene of the three fighting men speculatively ) SHI’IANA!!! D’BRAH!!! GET DOWN HERE!!!

Shi’Iana : Coming!

D’Brah : You think she’s mad?

Shi’Iana : She’s pulling in the couch.

Jha’Meia : COULD YOU TWO STOP BY THE KITCHEN AND GET SOME POPCORN?

D’Brah and Shi’Iana : OKAY!!

( All three girl jump onto the couch to watch the show )

Aeris : What are you doing???

Jha’Meia : ( mouth full of popcorn ) Whmp? Wmp sum pokcom?

( Amidst the fighting, Aeris somehow hears the doorbell and runs to answer it. It’s Zell from FF VIII )

Zell : Hi. I hear there’s a ramble writer here.

Aeris : SAVE ME!!! PLEASE!!!!

Zell : Um…

Aeris : PLEASE!!

Zell : Heck, who am I to resist such a lovely lady. Sure! ( whisks Aeris away for a holiday at Costa Del Sol )
 
 

( Back in the house… )

D’Brah : Come on, Reno!! Go Go Go!!!

Shi’Iana : Irvine here’s your chance!! Jump him!!

Jha’Meia : Seph, watch out for Reno!! Say, where’s Aeris now?

Shi’Iana : Who cares. Seph!! Kick him kick him kick him!! WOOOHOOO!!

D’Brah : C’mon!! Bring it on!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!
