Vincent was sitting bolt upright on the sofa of Avalanche headquarters, cradling a glass of milk in his hands. Cid was slumped next to him, munching loudly from a packet of crisps. Barret could be heard in the kitchen, fumbling around in the fridge with his one useful arm. Cloud burst in through the door and slammed it behind him, breathing heavily and waving his arms in the air.
“What the hell’s goin’ on!” yelled Cid, as he scrambled off the sofa, reaching for his spear.
“Nothin’, just making an entrance” replied Cloud, his faked panic quickly subsiding. Cid shot him a cold stare before settling back down onto the sofa.
“What’s today’s movie?” asked cloud, as he picked up the video case. Cid smiled excitedly as Cloud read the title from the side of the video case.
“Hmmm......Apollo 13. Never heard of that one.” murmured Cloud.
“Yeah, it’s great” replied Cid. “I’ll really love it!”. Vincent gave Cid a deathly cold stare, and folded his arms.
“What’s up with him?” Cloud whispered to Cid.
“He’s just moody, because we didn’t get The Crow.” Cid whispered back.

Five minutes later, Vincent and Cid were still sitting on the sofa and Cloud was laying on a large beanbag commemorating 50 years of wonder square. Barret walk in from the kitchen carrying six bottles of “Bugenhagen’s home brew” which featured the familiar logo “You don’t have to visit Cosmo Canyon to see stars!”.
“What took you so long” Asked Cloud. Barret mumbled something about the fridge door and his gun-arm, and then something about “Dam’ Shinra”, but Cloud had lost interest. Barret threw himself down in the middle of the sofa, which shook Vincent and Catapulted Cid onto the floor. Cid picked himself up and squeezed himself back onto the sofa.

As cloud placed the video into the video recorder he heard Barret cursing again.
“God dam’ stupid piece o’.....”He spat. “Where the hell’s the god damn bottle opener”
Vincent snatched the bottle from Barret’s hand and used the tip of one of his metallic claws to pop the lid from the bottle.
“Geez, Vinnie, you jes’ full o’ suprises” Said Barret amazed. “Mebbe that Hojo was doin’ ya a favour when he..........” Barret stopped when he realised vincent was peering at him menacingly through half closed eyelids. Barret passed a beer to Cid, a beer to Cloud, and a carton of Um Bongo to Vincent. Cloud heard something being pushed through the letterbox, and Got up to investigate. He picked up a newspaper (The Midgar Evening Post) from just below the letterbox, held it over the bin and shook. A number of leaflets spilled out into the bin, including one which read “Don Corneo wants YOU” and one which read “Have you got what it takes? Be the best. Join the Turks”. When Cloud noticed the movie was starting, he hurried back toward the lounge. Just as he pushed himself forward onto the beanbag, the front door burst open.

Once again Cid leapt up from his seat, reaching for his spear, but relaxed when he noticed that Aeris, Tifa, and Yuffie were standing in the doorway.
“Will people STOP doing that?” remarked Cid through gritted teeth. Cloud got up, and walked toward the girls.
“Hey, don’t you remember the deal? Wednesday night is boys night in, and girls night out. You’re messing up the rotor!” he said.
“Hey, blame Aeris” replied Tifa. “She stopped the movie. She considered “City Of Angels” blasphemous.”. Aeris shrugged off the criticism and folded her arms.
“Anyway, this is serious!” Said Tifa. “SEPHIROTH IS BACK”
