"Bonsai?" I asked Dyne. "Why'd she have to be my Mother?"
     Dyne shrugged. Aeris turned to me with her Shin-Ra outfit on, but helmet off. She patted on her bulging chest armor and looked up at me.
     "I told you it wouldn't work," I said calmly. "Don't worry, I have a backup plan."
     I grabbed Aeris's tiny jacket which was lying in a giant pile of discarded clothes, rolled it up, and began stuffing it in her shirt, attempting to give her the fat soldier look. Shin-Ra didn't hire too many fat soldiers, but I figured she might still pass. It has better odds of getting passed security than her womanly features. That's the nice way to say it I think. Womanly features. Well, no Mother to contradict me, so I say it works, and it works. Even though the buttons from her jacket made odd shapes of her shirt, it would pass. Well, it would pass as much as Dyne's idea to conceal his gunarm by walking extremely close to Aeris. I decided to take the point on this, while the two, strangely close Shin-Ra soldiers followed behind me.
     "Hey Sephy?" Aeris asked. "Does this change our plans? We have costumes now. It would look weird if we went busting through walls now."
     "That's true," I said. "Okay, let's go through the main gate then. We'll take the elevator up to the 65th floor, and work from there."
     "Why 65th?"
     "I found a keycard in my outfit that'll unlock 65th floor doors."
     "That works," Aeris said while putting her helmet on. "So lead the way, Sephy."
     As much as I didn't want Aeris calling me Sephy, I didn't bother to argue. I lead the group through the main entrance and watched Barret, Mother, and Marlene kicking some Soldier ass. Our group continued to the elevator and I pressed the 'up' button. The doors slid open, and more Shin-Ra soldiers ran out, while we crept in.
     "Hey!" One of the soldiers yelled at us. "What the hell are you doing? Come help us!"
     Now we were in a fix. We had just been ordered to fight Barret, Marlene, and Mother, and the only one of those three that would know who we really are, is Mother... We're screwed.
     "All right," I said. "Lead the way."
     The soldier ran ahead into the fray, while the elevator doors closed, with us in the elevator of course. The dumbass. He thought we'd follow him. He-
     Hey Sephy? What happened to Barret's prosthetic hand that he had when we first met him?
     No wonder the soldiers didn't think anything of our eagerness to stay on the elevator. Barret, Marlene, and Mother had gotten on the elevator with us while I was thinking of a clever way to get out of battling them. And now, Barret's gunarm was pointed directly at my head.
     See? His gunarm! Where'd it come from?
     "He traded it for his gunarm with Tifa before she went to the Seventh Heaven, Mother," I said. "And Barret! Don't shoot! It's us!"
     "Yo man, where you been?" Barret asked. "Dyne already told me. You need to get out o' yo head man. You're slower than Marlene."
     Maybe I should stop with the interior monologue-
     No! Don't stop! I like listening to you ramble while the world passes you by. Besides, it makes me feel special that only I can hear you think.
     "Maybe we should like, catch you guys," Aeris said to Barret. "Then we'd get to talk to the high up people here, and you'd just stew in prison for a while, until we come rescue you."
     The doors opened quicker than we'd planned, so each of us quickly grabbed a member of Team Distraction, and dragged him to the prison. Dyne got Barret, Aeris got Marlene, and I got Mother. After putting the terrorists behind bars, we headed to see the high up people. We went up to the 70th floor and were led into a small room with nothing but some cardboard boxes and a rat. The door closed and we sat in the dark for about five minutes. When the doors opened again, we saw the high up people we'd get to talk to, however, they were not the people we'd expected to talk to. Instead of President Shinra, we got to talk to Tseng, Rude, Reno, and Elena of the Turks.
