One Becomes the Other
Chapter Five: The Meeting

by Shayna Harvey

"Is everyone here?" Reeve asked. We were all gathered around the meeting table, which occupied most of Reeve's office. "Rufus ain't here yet," I said. "Give it up, Onya, that foo' ain't gonna show," Barret said. "Oh, he will......" Reno grined. I eyed him, suspiciouse, "Reno." "What!" he said, innoccently. "S-sir," a voice came on over the intercom. "Yes Marcy?" Reeve replied. "R-Rufus Shinra is here, a-and is demanding to......Sir, sir you can't go in there!" the voice broke off. Suddenly, the door to the office was thrown open, and Rufus stormed in. Reno burst out laughing, "What's the matter Rufie, Reeve leave you off his gest list, ahaha." "Reno Danilies, just excactly what have you been up to!" I demainded. In the othere room, Reeve was telling Marcy never to listen to 'That Red-Headed Menice' again.

"Danilies?!" Barret said. He and Cid burst out laughing. "It was just a joke," Reno mumbled, his face matching the color of his hair. I giggled, and thanked God, my hair was blond, and not red. "Can I kill him, PLEASE!" Rufus begged. "No Rufus, not now, sit down!" I said, still laughing. When I finaly stopped laughing, and got Rufus seated, a safe distance from Reno, or so I thought, I noticed someone missing. "Hey, Cloud, where's Elena?" I asked. "Why didn't she ask me?" Reno mumbled. Rufus slid down in his chair, and kicked Reno. "AOWWWWWW!" the Turk jumped out of his chair, and litteraly landed in the middle of the table. "RUFUS!" everone in the room chimed in. "WHAT?!" Rufus asked, failing to look innoccent through his fit of laughter.

The laughter was interupted by Reeve clearing his throat. "Now, down to buisness. I assume Reno and Rude have filled you in on the situation at hand," Reeve said, looking around, his gaze lingering on a guiltiy looking Reno. "Wha....oh, forget it that line's getting old," Reno grumbled. "As for Elena," Reeve coninued, pressing the button on the entercom, "Send them in." After a few minute's the door opened, and in walked Elena, followed by the last Cetra. "AERIS!" the young ninja, Yuffie Kisaragi, flew into her friend's arm. Aeris stumbled back, slightly shocked by Yuffie's show of affection, her charming smile never wavered, however. "Hi, Yuffie," Aeris smiled. "Aeris......" Tifa trailed off, a tear running down her cheek, as she hugged her friend.

I was last in line. "I'm Onya," I said, "Strange, we've never met, but I feel like I've known you for a long time, I met Tifa eleven year's ago, and she told me about you, it's nice to finaly meet you." Aeris shook my hand and looked me strait in the eye. She said one word, a sentence to the Cetra meaning, 'Should I tell them?' I nodded my head. Aeris turned to adress the friend's and people they once fought, that she had not seen in twelve year's. "Everyone, the Planet sent me back, because Sephiroth somehow escaped the lifestream," she paused and looked to each of them, "Also, I'm not alone, the Planet sent Tseng back to help me, and this time I have another Cetra to help me." Gasp's were heard throughout the room.
