Clean House

“So what your saying is… you never had a crush on Sephy,” I ask for the third time.

“No,” Cloud repeated, “I mean I idolized him back when he was a General before… you know. I always thought he had a thing for Genesis.”

“I never had a thing for Genesis,” Sephiroth groaned, “Or Angeal or Zack or Anyone.”

“Oh come on babe,” I say, “There must have been someone.”

“Nope,” Zack answered, “He was really career driven in those days.”

“Ahhhhhh. So I made your heart melt?” Sephiroth smiled at me. “Good morning everyone,” Isdela said walking into the breakfast room. “You two boys have fun last night,” she teased Zack and Cloud. Cloud blushed like mad.

“You don’t have to be embarrassed love,” Zack said, “I think everyone here was routing for us.”

“Not everyone cared,” Sephiroth corrected him. I rolled my eyes. That’s when the doorbell rung for the first time today. I glared over at Sephy and he sighed. “I’ll get it,” Isdela volunteered. She ran to the door.

“Zack told us Cloud was here,” I heard from the door. No answer from Isdela. “Hey Vincent’s here,” Zack smiled pulling Cloud toward the door. “See it wasn’t me this time,” Sephiroth said. “Hey Vincent… Tifa,” I heard Cloud say. I saw my sister turn around on the couch, but she didn’t start picking like I though she would.

“Hey Isdela,” she said, “You okay?”

“nfernoa obnvocerahio cvernoaqv,”

“What,” I groaned. I got up and headed into the living room to see a bug eyed Isdela staring at the dark-haired man clothed in red and black. “Can they come in,” Cloud asked.

“Sure,” I answered. Our two new guests made there way into the house. Isdela watched as the dark-haired man walked in. “Here we go again,” I heard my sister say. Finally Isdela snapped out of her trance and grabbed the man’s arm.

“I’m Isdela. Did he say your name is Vincent? That’s hot… your hot… love me?” Aranel sighed. “Um,” was all Vincent said. Cloud laughed, “He’s not really a relationship kind of guy.”

“I don’t need him to be,” she hissed, “I just need him to pop a baby in me now.” Vincent’s eyes got wide. “I don’t think he’s interested Isdela,” I say. She glares at me. Aranel walks over and tries to pry Isdela away. “Come on… let go!”

“No… I don’t want to go,” she said getting drug away by Aranel, “Love me please?!” After another moment we hear the backdoor close. “Well that was fun,” I say.

“Um…” Vincent says trying to regain himself. “Tifa has something she’d like to say.” Tifa stood there pouting for a moment. “I’m sorry I got mad,” she whines.

“And,” Vincent persists.

“And I’m sorry I kicked you out.”

“And…”

“And seeing as you two look to have gotten together… I’m happy for… you” Cloud smiles, Zack sighs, Tifa looks mad as hell.

“Okay not that I don’t love all of you,” I begin, “But I would like if I could get my house back to… whatever I consider normal.”

“I guess we should be heading back,” Cloud said, “Let me get my things.” He ran upstairs to pack and before too long the group was on their way out the door.

“Well not that that’s over with,” Yazoo said, “Can I have my own room? Loz snores really bad and Kadaj…” he looks over at his baby brother, “Well his Kadaj.”

“What,” Loz cries out, “No way! If anyone should get his own room it should be me, I’m the oldest.”

“I should get it cuz I’m better than all of you,” Kadaj screams. I look at my boys for a moment. “No”

“No to who mommy,” Yazoo asks. “No,” I repeat. I retreat up to my office to escape the on slot of questions I know are coming, leaving Sephiroth to deal. He won’t be happy, but at that moment I was just happy to have my house back.
