Our four cars raced up to the main gate to Sector 5 and stopped while Tifa got
out of her car and opened the gates. After opening the gates, Tifa walked
back to her personal car and picked up the CB radio that nobody thus far had
noticed.
Wow Sephy! You should be proud! For once
you weren't the stupid one.
Mother was right. Showing certain people such
as Mother, Aeris, and Marlene that they had a way to communicate between cars
was a really stupid idea. And worse, she taught them about handles...
"Howdy everyone," Tifa's voice came dimly
through the radio. Mother turned it up. "This here is Ice Queen
and I'm currently holding these gates open for y'all. Hee. I'm so
country sounding I scare myself. Anyway, since I need to keep these gates
open, I can't drive my own car in there, so I'm gonna move in on foot.
I'll catch up to y'all later though, over."
Whoa... that was Tifa! On the radio!
Remember this station Aeris.
Aeris picked up the radio and said: "This
here's Holy Lingerie and we hear ya. Do you want one of the cars to stay
back and pick you up? Come on back."
"Negative," Tifa responded. "I
don't need to slow y'all down. I need to make a few stops here in Midgar
anyway, over and out."
Then another voice came through on the radio.
"Shit Niggapapa, you sat on the damn thang fo' talkin' inta. Can yous
out dere hear me? Dis be's Innocent Ass-girl and let me tells ya, it bes
hard to hold dis button down for talkin' to yas. You guys betta' hope
Niggapapa don't let one loose o' yo' eardrums will be blown. And you know,
it's pretty disturbing dat my microphone bes a giant black asshole. So I
guess dis one goes out to all o' yous as well as Niggapapa's colon."
This here's Sticky Brains. And Innocent
Ass-girl? You
forgot to say over, over.
"I don't want you guys doing this," I
said. "Aeris, turn that off."
"One last message," she said and picked up
the radio. "Well guys, we're gonna be turnin' off right soon 'cause
the Virginator doesn't want us talking to you all -er, y'all, so Holy Lingerie
and Sticky Brains are now off, over and out."
"The Virginator?" I asked Aeris.
"Yep," she said. "Unless, you
want, to change that," she said seductively.
"Watch the road Holy Lingerie," I said.
Before you go around thinking I'm a loser, or gay, or
whatever-
Too late.
I just want you all to realize, I never said 'yes,'
but I also never said 'no'.
You didn't say 'yes' though. You know what I
think Sephy? I think you're chicken. Boneless, skinless, breaded,
packaged, chicken strips.
"All right Mother," I said. "How
about this then? Aeris? How about after this whole Shin-Ra thing is
over, you and I head on down to the Wall Market Inn and uhh, share a room?"
It's about then that I realized Aeris is just one big
talker. After I said this to her, she started sweating and
stuttering.
"Uhh, er, huh?" she said. The car
began swerving and I had to reach around her and Mother to steady the
wheel. "A-a-are you sh-sure? I mean, uhh, we, uhh, just-"
"Don't worry Aeris," I said, "I'm just
kidding, don't get all freaked out."
I wasn't kidding, but I wasn't not kidding-
Oh damn, here we go again with the contradictory
statements.
Okay, for a better explaination, for Mother's sake,
I would have gone for it had she been willing, but it wasn't on the top of my
'things to do list.'
Yes it is! Remember Sephy? The top thing on
your 'to do' list is 'invite AVALANCHE heroines to Wall Market to-
"Enough Mother," I said. "Aeris?
How much further to Shin-Ra HQ?"
Aeris reached down and gently hit the breaks with an
unsteady leg, causing the car to stop jerkily. "We're here, oh blind
one," she said.
All our cars were next to each other, parked about
one-hundred yards from the main entrance to Shin-Ra HQ. The demon cars
became un-unpossessed the second we all stepped out of the cars, so Barret and
Dyne quickly shot the cars to pieces once we were all out.
"So how we gonna do this?" Barret
asked. "Last time wit Cloud, we couldn't decide on stairs or bust in
shooting. So what's it gonna be Seph?"
"Well, last time there wasn't an army of
machine-gun-toting-Cait Siths running around, so I suggest we take the stairs
two flights up, then quietly break down one of the walls and walk to the less
guarded elevators."
Sephy! What happened to Tiffany and Edwardo!?
They're not here!
"I gave them to Tifa at the main gate," I
told Mother, calming her down. "Tifa said she'd take them to the
Seventh Heaven. By the way everyone. If somehow we all get split up,
we'll all meet at the Seventh Heaven. Got it? Good. Let's move
out."
