Hey Papa! And everyone at home, I guess... I found a couch outside, and it's really, really comfy! And you can bounce on it! I dunno why it's outside though... it feels nice... who would leave a nice couch like this?

A-anyway! Can we keep it? It can fit inside, right?

Maybe we could get Uncle Zack to sit with us in the living room so he's not stuck in his bed all the time?



[Simon is referring to this monstrosity, left oh-so-kindly by the road near their house in this thread. Since he's blind, he cannot see it. So. Yes. :|]

[Ohoho, caught.]

Yep! It was my idea. Simon made it even better, though. [What are you going to do about it, Cloud?]

[Simon ducks down a little, blushing.]

Uh-huh. We had to protect the house!

...I guess I can't blame you. [Cloud sits on the armrest of the couch.] So, warmed up to it yet, Aerith?

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

It's comfortable. [...SHE'S HONEST.]

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

You are, too! [SO IS HE.]

[Simon. You little player you.]

Good! I think we should bring Zack out to see it, too.

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Simon gets a hair ruffle for that. Aerith is amused, if a little red. And actually, Cloud's suggestion doesn't sound that bad. Zack must be bored in his room and, well...this is certainly something to look at, even if it's for all the wrong reasons.]

Why don't you get him?

[Simon shifts a bit, kicking off his shoes so he can get more cozy without dirtying up the couch or poor Aerith.]

Yeah! Bring out Uncle Zack so he can see it too!

[Action]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Gotcha; I'll be right back. [And Cloud bounces off to Zack's room. ...well, as much as Cloud can bounce.]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

I wonder what he'll think of it! [assuming he reacts at all, of course.]

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Rocking, rocking, rocking~] I bet he'll think it's the best couch ever too!

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Maybe. We'll have to see what he says~

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! I hope he's talking...

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

He will be. If not now, then very soon. We'll be wondering where all the quiet went!

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

You know Uncle Zack really well, huh?

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

I think I do! We saw each other a lot when we were teenagers.

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Saw each other? Didn't you talk? [WHAT TO MISS THE POINT, CHILD.]

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Hahaha, Simon, y so cute. Aerith's giggling.]

We talked a lot! We even went on a few dates--once I made sure Zack was cootie-free, of course.

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Dates? Is Uncle Zack your boyfriend!?

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

He was. Worried I have cooties? I won't give Zack any.

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

If you had cooties I wouldn't sit with you. [He can tease too, Aerith ♥] How come he's not anymore?

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

That's very smart of you. [♥]

[She pauses a bit before answering, wondering what to say.] ...We couldn't visit each other for a while. A long time.

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Oh snap, sensing drama. Also, kids ask 20 million questions orz.] Did he get lost?

[Action]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[oshi drama. ...Aerith figures "lost" is a pretty good description for what happened without requiring a ton of elaboration. Also, lowering her voice a bit because once again, "oshi drama" and on the off-chance that Zack is aware at all right now, she doesn't want to bring up this in his mind.] Yeah. I couldn't call him, and the letters I wrote didn't get to him. ...And he couldn't reach me, either.

[Action]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Aww, Aerith. He can hear that tone.] Oh... I'm sorry. I guess I shouldn't ask, huh...
