Hojo watched through binoculars as the dome covering the Northern Crater vanished.He then glanced at the calendar on the wall beside him.

"Today's Father's Day,"he mused,"I wonder how Sephiroth is?"He sighed and stared out the window again."Maybe I should"
"have been nicer to him as he was growing up."

Suddenly a smile appeared on his face."That's it,"he exclaimed,"I'll go to him and make it up for all the years I missed."He stood up and hurried to the airport.He ordered a pilot to fly him to the Northern Crater.

An hour after he arrived he located Sephiroth."Son!"he exclaimed,"I'm sorry for not being there for you when you were" "growing up."

Sephiroth stared at Hojo."What are you talking about Hojo?"he asked the scientist.

"I'm talking about being a normal father,"answered Hojo.

Sephiroth laughed."I'm a bit old for that,"he said.

Hojo shook his head."That doesn't matter to me,"he replied.He grabbed Sephiroth's arm and dragged him out of the crater and to the Gelinka at the top.

"Take us to the gold Saucer,"he ordered the now trembling pilot.

"Y..Yes  sir,"stuttered the pilot who looked at Sephiroth.

Sephiroth looked back at the pilot and smiled evily."Boo,"he said.

"AHHHH!!!"screamed the pilot.He then turned tail and ran off.

"Whatcha do that for?"asked Hojo as he watched the pilot as he ran off screaming.

"For fun,"replied Sephiroth.

Hojo shook his head."Oh well,I guess I'll fly us to the Gold Saucer."

A look of terror appeared on Sephiroth's face.He attempted to run off as well,only to be grabbed by Hojo.Sephiroth was then dragged kicking and screaming into the plane.

Two hours later Hojo stood beside Sephiroth as they entered the amusement park."So son?"Hojo asked,"where do you want" "to go first?"

Sephiroth approached the map of the Gold Saucer."How about the Battle Arena?"he said.

"Hojo also studied the map."Later,"he said grabbing Sephiroth's arm and dragging towards the tunnel that had the words Round Square beneath it."First we'll go to the video arcade.

"You've got to be kidding?"replied Sephiroth as he was shoved in.

 
                                                      *******************************
 

Cait Sith stood in front of the entrance to the video arcade."Fortune telling,"he called out through his megaphone,"free fortune" "telling."

Hojo approached the giant mog."I'll take one,"he said.

"Certainly,"said Cait.He then noticed Sephiroth."What is he doing here?"he exclaimed.

"He's with me,"answered Hojo.

"Uh..okay,"replied Cait.He watched as the two of them entered the arcade. He then pulled out his PHS."Gotta tell Cloud" "about this,"he said,as he dialed numbers.
 
 
                                       *******************************************

Hojo led Sephiroth into the video arcade."Okay,"he said,"let's see how good you are at shooting hoops."
 
"Umm....I'm not very good I'm afraid,"replied Sephiroth.

"So what,"said Hojo,"just try your best."

"Okay,"said Sephiroth.He picked up the ball and began to throw it towards the hoop.Unfortunately it slipped from his hands and went sailing towards the girl standing behind them.It hit her in the head and knocked her down.

She shook her head,stood up,glared angrily at Sephiroth and walked up to him.

Sephiroth laughed weakly."Mommy?"he whispered
 

                                                                  ******************************
 
 
 

Cloud approached Cait who was standing in front of the entrance to the video arcade.He could hear shouting and screams coming from inside the arcade."Whatcha call me for?"he asked.

"Because Sephiroth and Hojo are here,"replied the Toysaurus.

"You're kidding right?"said Cloud.

Before Cait could answer however Hojo and Sephiroth came crashing through the wall of the building and landed in front of Cloud and Cait.

"AND STAY OUT!"screamed the attendent of the arcade.She then disappeared back inside.

Hojo and Sephiroth picked themselves up and walked away from Cloud and Cait,who were now laughing their heads off.
 
 

                                                     ********************************
 
 

Hojo led Sephiroth to the round square."Two please,"he said to the ticket seller.

The girl shook her head."I'm sorry,"she said,"but you need three people for this ride."

Hojo shook his head."Can't you make an exception?"he asked.

"No sir,"was the reply.

"Don't worry,"said Sephiroth smiling,"I know where I can get a third person."He then closed his eyes.

Five minutes later Cloud appeared and walked up to Sephiroth.He stood there and waited.Cloud then nodded his head and sat down in the last seat of the rollercoaster.

Hojo smiled and turned back to the girl."Three please,"he said.Then he and Sehiroth boarded the rollercoaster as well.

"I'll get Cloud to pay you back when the ride is over,"said Sephiroth as the ride started.
 

 
                                                         ******************************
 
 

Two hours later Hojo led Sephiroth towards Midgar."I've got a great place for us to have supper,"he said.

"Yeah,"said Sephiroth,"where.That great new Thai place in sector three?"

"Even better,"replied Hojo,"Shin-Donalds."

"Shin-Donalds!"cried Sephiroth,"but that place is so stupid."

"Tough,"said Hojo,"that's where we're going."

Sephiroth sighed and lowered his head."Why don't I just kill myself,"he muttered.
 
 

                                                              *****************************
 
                                                                             One Week Later
 

Cloud turned to the group and looked over each one of them."Everyone ready?"he asked.

"We sure are,"replied the group of seven.

"Okay then,"said Cloud,"let's go get Sephiroth.'

The eight of them made their way into the crater.After a half hour The group entered a cave.

"Hey look,"exclaimed Yuffie,pointing to a corner of the cave,"isn't that Sephiroth over there?"

Cloud and the others looked in the direction Yuffie was pointing in.

"It sure is,"replied Tifa,"but why is he sitting in a corner?"

Sephiroth looked up at them."Thank god,"he muttered,"I thought it was Hojo again."

The eight friends stared at him as he stood up and approached them.

"Please,"Sephiroth begged,falling at Cloud's feet,"you've got to help me.Hojo's crazy.Don't let him find me."

Cloud smiled at Sephiroth."Sure,"he said,"we'll help you.But first,you have to stop the meteor."

"I can't do that,"said Sephiroth,"I don't know how to?"

"Well then,"said Cloud as he turned and started leading everyone away,"I guess that we can't help you then."

"No!"cried Sephiroth,"I'll do it.Just take care of Hojo."

"Also I think you should wait on us hand and foot for a month as well,"added Cloud.

"Sephiroth glared at Cloud,then sighed and nodded his head.
 
 

                                                         *********************************
 

Cloud sat on the beach of Costa del Sol.He yawned and stretched out his arms."Is everyone enjoying themselves?"he asked.

"We sure are,"replied Tifa,who was laying on a beach chair beside him.

"I'm not,"said Yuffie,"I finished my drink and I want another."

"Coming right up,"said Cloud.He reached down beside him and picked up a bell and rang it.

A minute later Sephiroth materialized beside him."What is it you want?'he grumbled.

"Yuffie wants a drink,"answered Cloud pointing in the ninja's direction.

Yuffie smiled and lifted her glass.

Sephiroth shook his head"I can't believe that I was tricked by a puppet,"he thought as he poured Yuffie some more juice.
