INT. HAIR SALON-- AFTERNOON

(Aeris is working on Yuffie's hair, which is full of pink curlers. There are a few other hair stylists and customers around.)

YUFFIE: I hope my hair will look like the girl on the magazine.

AERIS: It will. You could pass off as her identical twin.

YUFFIE: Except she's a blonde.

AERIS: Well, if you want, I could always...

YUFFIE: (Remembering her last experience.) NO!

AERIS: Alright, alright, just a thought! (Changing the subject.) Do you know what Cloud did last night?

YUFFIE: Hm?

AERIS: (Really happy.) He filled my bed with rose petals- pink, red and white! Then we shared a box of Godiva chocolates in bed... And then... Well...

YUFFIE: Good thing I was at Vincent's place... Otherwise, I would have been yelling at you guys to keep it down and let me sleep.

AERIS: Yeah, well Cloud had it all planned. Oh, and there was candlelight and everything!!

YUFFIE: That's so romantic! Who ever said men knew nothing about romance?

AERIS: The wife of the guy who created the superbowl.

(Aeris starts taking off Yuffie's hair rollers. Cloud walks through the door of the salon, and asks to speak to Aeris. She doesn't notice him, until he walks over to her.)

AERIS: (Happily surprised.) Cloud!

CLOUD: Guess what I have planned for us today!

(They kiss, and Yuffie rolls her eyes, disgusted.)

AERIS: What's the plan, then?

CLOUD: I was looking through our attic, and I found about twenty home movies we filmed when we were younger! So I invited Cid, Barret, Elena, Reno, Reeve, Red and Tifa to come and watch with us, and me and Vincent's apartment!

YUFFIE: What about me!?

CLOUD: Uh, you can come too... (Grins, and shrugs. He then turns back to Aeris.) But first, I'm taking you to lunch, at Chinese Restaurant!

AERIS: Great!! Yuffie, I think I'll get my other stylist to do your hair. Cloud and I are going to lunch. Bye! (She walks off with Cloud, but stops to talk to another stylist- one with a florescent green mohawk, a nosering, eyebrow piercings, four holes on each ear, wearing leather, and chewing gum.)

PUNK STYLIST: So, you wanted it dyed, chick? I have some new "Screaming Fuchsia 203"...

YUFFIE: Aeris! Aeris! (The punk stylist makes her way towards Yuffie.) AERIS!!

INT. THE GUYS' APARTMENT LIVING ROOM-- AFTERNOON

(Cloud and Aeris are snuggled together on Cloud's couch. Yuffie is sitting angrily on the ground, with bright orange streaks in her hair. Vincent is beside her, trying to console her. Tifa is sitting besides Reeve, and they're talking and laughing. Cid and Barret are arguing over who gets the armchair, Marlene, who Barret brought over, is playing with a Barbie doll, and Red is stretching comfortably on the carpet.)

REEVE: Cloud, when are we going to watch the movies?

CLOUD: (Turning to Reeve.) Well, is everyone ready?

CID: We've been ready for a few #*@$ing hours!

CLOUD: Well, ok, great... Lemme put in the first one... Tifa, Johnny and I are in this one, and I'm... Hrm, 1985... About seven years old? (He puts in a tape.)

EXT. BACKYARD-- AFTERNOON, 1985

(Tifa is having a tantrum, Cloud is running around with a doll in his hand, and Johnny is laughing.)

TIFA: Daddy!!! Cloud took my doll!

CLOUD: Tattler! Tattler!

JOHNNY: (Taking the doll from Cloud.) Gimme that! Look, Tifa, I have your dolly now! (He starts rocking the doll in his arms.) And it likes me better than it likes YOU!

TIFA: Daddy!!!

TIFA'S DAD: Tifa, I'm trying to film this!

CLOUD: (Just noticing the camera.) Aaaaargh! Run, Johnny, they're taping us!

(Johnny and Cloud run off, throwing the doll in the air. Tifa catches it.)

TIFA: Phew! At least you're safe now, Karen!

INT. THE GUYS' APARTMENT LIVING ROOM-- AFTERNOON

(Everyone is watching the TV now.)

TIFA: (Sighs.) I remember when my dad taped that...

(Everyone goes quiet.)

CLOUD: Anyway... (Looks through the tape collection.) Aha! Here's one with me at age seventeen... Aeris... Tifa... And... Yuffie.

YUFFIE: Really?? Which one's this??

CLOUD: You'll see!

ACT IV

*SCENE I*

INT. YUFFIE'S MANSION-- EVENING, 1995

(Cloud, Aeris and Tifa are standing around Yuffie, who's turning twelve, who's sitting in front of a birthday cake, singing Happy Birthday. They finish singing.)

TIFA: Blow out the candles, sweetie!

YUFFIE: Don't call me sweetie! (Blows out the candles.)

AERIS: Make a wish!

YUFFIE: I wish... Uh... I wish I get a really cute boyfriend!

TIFA: I already have that! (She grins at Cloud, who smiles a little. Aeris smiles at the two, then looks back at Yuffie.)

AERIS: So, who wants cake?

CLOUD: Who baked it?

AERIS: Me.

CLOUD: Ok, sure, cut me a slice!

TIFA: I bake just as good as Aeris does.

CLOUD: Except when you burn the food...

YUFFIE: (Yelling.) I GET CAKE FIRST, CAUSE I'M THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!

TIFA: Of course you do! (Cuts the cake, and hands Yuffie a slice.)

AERIS: (Taking out a present.) Here's your first present!

YUFFIE: (Ripping open the wrapping.) Ooh, neato! (She pulls out a golden necklace encrusted with tiny rubies.) Thanks Aeris!

CLOUD: (Looks around in his pocket.) Aha! Here's my present for you! (Hands her 20 GIL.)

YUFFIE: Uh, thanks.

TIFA: And mine... (She hands Yuffie another wrapped present, which Yuffie rips open.)

YUFFIE: Ooh, cool! (It's a book, named 101 Ninja Techniques.) Thanks, guys!

(She hugs them all.)

INT. THE GUYS' APARTMENT LIVING ROOM-- AFTERNOON

(All are still watching, except Red and Barret, who've fallen asleep.)

YUFFIE: Oh, yeah, I remember that!! Dad was taping and everything, I totally forgot!

CLOUD: That was when me and Tifa were still dating, wasn't it?

TIFA: Obviously, I talked about having a really cute boyfriend.

YUFFIE: Well, *I* got my birthday wish. (Kisses Vincent.)

VINCENT: Tomorrow we'll go back to the salon, and I'll wait the whole two hours it takes to dye your hair back to normal.

YUFFIE: (Remembering her scary hair color.) Thanks, sweetie.

AERIS: Hey, remember when we went to Planet Studios last year, Cloud, that great fun park? Didn't you buy a video of our day there?

CLOUD: Oh, yeah, that's right! We're all in this video, let's see that one! (Puts in the tape.) Ok, there's us at the park entrance...

AERIS: We're together in this one, aren't we?

CID: Ha! That's where I threw my cigarrette ashes at the camera!

YUFFIE: Uh, yeah.

TIFA: Remember that scary rollercoaster?

MARLENE: Hahaha! They taped when you threw up all over the ground!

EVERYONE EXCEPT TIFA: Ewwwww!!

TIFA: Well, sorry if I get sick on quick rides!

AERIS: Cloud, look! There's us on the tunnel of love!

CID: And smoochin' away!

TIFA: That's so sweet!

MARLENE: Gross! They're kissing! (Closes her eyes.)

VINCENT: Here comes us, Yuff...

CID: Oh, man, couldn't you two have saved that stuff until nighttime??

YUFFIE: Hey, it's just simple kissing!

CID: If that's simple kissing, then I'm a virgin!

REEVE: Hey, there's me and Tifa in the haunted house!

TIFA: That was so scary!!

REEVE: No it wasn't! It was just a bunch of broken robots and actors.

TV (REEVE): AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!

TIFA: Well those broken robots and actors sure scared the hell out of you.

(Everyone who's awake laughs, except Reeve.)

CID: (Getting up.) You know, it's been fun, but I think I'd better get home before Shera beats the @*#+ out of me.

YUFFIE: You're scared of your wife!

CID: (Defensive.) No! See you, everyone. (Walks away.)

CLOUD: (Taking out the tape.) Well, I have a very special tape here... It's sort of sentimental, but I'd like you guys to see it... (Puts in the tape.) Uh, Aeris, I don't think you know about this... I had it specially edited... Ah, here we go...

EXT. ICICLE INN-- EVENING

(Cloud's carving an ice sculpture of Aeris. Aeris is standing near him, shivering. And Reeve is video taping the scene.)

AERIS: (Shivering.) Are you almost done yet?

CLOUD: (Carving the sculpture.) Wait, I want it to be just perfect!

AERIS: Can I see it?

CLOUD: I'm almost done... (Finishing carving.) Alright! Come see!

AERIS: (Walking over to look at it.) Oh, it's gorgeous!

CLOUD: It's you, my angel.

REEVE: (Holding a video camera.) Can you guys hurry up?

CLOUD: Wait, tape this... (He takes Aeris in his arms and kisses her.)

AERIS: (Sighing after the kiss.) Oh, Cloud, I love you.

CLOUD: I love you, too.

INT. GOLD SAUCER BALLROOM-- EVENING

(Cloud and Aeris are dancing together, and nearby, Vincent and Yuffie are dancing, too. It's the dance before the Gold Saucer Dancing Contest. It was being taped by Gold Saucer staff. No one says anything.)

EXT. COSTA DEL SOL-- DAY

(Aeris is lying on a towel, laughing in a purple bikini, and Cloud is spreading suntan lotion on her back, and Aeris is waving at Vincent, who's taping them with a video camera.)

AERIS: Ever done this before, Cloud?

CLOUD: Does it seem like I have?

AERIS: (Smiling.) Yeah.

CLOUD: Well, I haven't. How about a massage?

AERIS: Ooh, I'd love that...

VINCENT: I'll just leave the camera on the ground here... (Puts the camera down on the sand.) And I'll leave you two alone!

CLOUD: (Massaging Aeris' back.) How does this feel, sweetie?

AERIS: Oh, it feels so good... (Closes her eyes and relaxes.)

INT. THE GUYS' APARTMENT LIVING ROOM-- AFTERNOON

(Aeris is watching the TV, smiling, with tears in her eyes. Cloud has her arm around her. Everyone else is watching, smiling.)

YUFFIE: This is so romantic! (To Vincent.) Why didn't you ever do something like this for me?

VINCENT: Uh... Uh... I know! I'll take you out to dinner... Uh... Let's go. (They both stand up.) See you guys later! (Yuffie waves, and they leave.)

AERIS: You even synchronized it to our song? Oh, Cloud... (They kiss.)

REEVE: You know... Maybe we should leave these two alone? (Points at Cloud and Aeris.)

BARRET: (Waking up.) Ugh, I need some coffee...

MARLENE: Ew, they're kissing! (Points at the TV.)

BARRET: (Picking Marlene up, and walking away.) That'll be enough Marlene. Bye, everyone. (Leaves and closes the door.)

TIFA: (Looking at Aeris and Cloud.) Uh, Reeve... Let's go take Red home?

REEVE: Good idea! Come on, Red... (Waking Red up.)

RED XIII: (Yawns.) What, are the movies over?

TIFA: Yeah, let's go...

RED XIII: Are you sure? I want to nap a little while longer...

TIFA: LET'S GO!! (Pulls Red's fur hard.)

RED XIII: Roaaaargh! (Rushes out. Tifa and Reeve follow.)

AERIS: (Turning to Cloud.) This is the sweetest thing I've seen, you are just so romantic!

CLOUD: I was never romantic with anyone else, Aeris... It just shows your effect on me.

AERIS: You've always had it in you... But just now, you chose to show it.

CLOUD: I love you, Aeris.

AERIS: I love you, too, Cloud. (They kiss quickly, then they kiss again, more passionately. Aeris lies down, next to Cloud, and then he lies down right by her, and they keep on kissing. The episode ends, and they show a short scene during the credits.)

INT. MONSIEUR MATERIA-- EVENING

(Yuffie is looking at her reflection in a tablespoon. Vincent is leaning back in his chair, rolling his eyes.)

YUFFIE: Think I'll ever get this dye out?

VINCENT: The dye's sexy! Bright orange turns me on!

YUFFIE: Yeah, yeah, yeah... I ask for highlights, not orange juice in my hair! Geez, how can they even hire someone like that??

VINCENT: Yuffie, you've ordered the 200 GIL lasagna, the most expensive wine on the wine list, the 60 GIL lobster appetizers, and the 100 GIL orange sherbert!

YUFFIE: (Defensively.) I eat to heal my wounds.

VINCENT: It's just a bad hairstyle!

YUFFIE: Well, it cost me 250 GIL! (Trailing off.) And, uh, I used your money...

VINCENT: What!?!?

YUFFIE: Hey, you said yourself that bright orange turned you on, uh, it was a gift!

VINCENT: A gift with my money??

YUFFIE: (Pouting.) You never understand me.

VINCENT: You never understand me!

YUFFIE: Oh yeah?? Put 'em up! (She stands up, and stands in a fighting position.)

WAITER: (Coming over to their table.) Monsieur, mademoiselle... May we please ask you to leave? You are making a scene.

YUFFIE: WE ARE NOT MAKING A SCENE!

WAITER: GET OUT!

YUFFIE: (Walking out, arm in arm with Vincent. Imitating his French accent.) Mr. High and Mighty kicks us out, nyah nyah nyah... Come on, Vinnie, let's go to a DECENT restaurant.

VINCENT: Yeah, who needs them...
