A bunch of cars pulled up at the exact same time. Aeris and I went out to greet our new neighbors as they pulled up. Barret's station wagon was in front. It contained Barret, Dyne, and the future destruction of our future sector. Barret turned off the car and stepped out of the car at the same time as Dyne who was in the passenger seat. From the bowels of the backseat emerged everyone's favorite four year old from hell.
     "Holy shit! It smells like ass here!" Marlene said, "or maybe it's 'Holy ass! It smells like shit!' Either way, somebody light a match or something."
     "It's a rental," Barret said pointing at the car. "That one's defective but we can't return it as much as we may try," he said, pointing at Marlene.
     I recognized the van that pulled up behind Barret's wagon as the Ghetto Mobile. Apparently the Turks found it and restored it for some reason. The side sliding door opened slowly and a giant cloud of fumes puffed out of the door, followed by all four turks, coughing and gagging.
     "Ooh, pot!" Aeris said excitedly while clasping her hands together and bouncing on her toes.
     "Excited for pot Aeris?" I said.
     "Huh? Me? Excited for a drug? No. I'm pure. Remember?"
     I stared at her blankly.
     "Oh come on, who really wants to buy a flower? Jesus. You didn't notice? I've got the nicest house in the slums, a giant garden, you do the math... You actually think those barrels in the rafters were filled with flowers? That's just ignorant."
     "What barrels?"
     "Barrels? I know nothing about barrels."
     I stared at her for a bit, and she stared back until she couldn't suppress her laughter anymore and laughed loudly at me, pointing and slapping her knee. "Oh man," she said in between chains of laughter, "you should have seen your face! I so had you going!"
     Hey guys?
     "What Mother?" I asked. I really didn't care what Mother had to say, but at this point I'd be willing to do anything to shut Aeris up. I wasn't mad at her, but she was making a scene, and I don't think anyone found it that funny.
     I'm confused. If all the Turkeys came out of the side door, then who was driving?
     "I dunno, Mother. I guess someone crawled through."
     Or the Ghetto Mobile is possessed and drives itself.
     "Or that. Whatever you say, Mother."
     Whatever I say, eh?
     "No, forget I said that."
     Forget you said that? That would make your sentence, 'or whatever you say, mother.' That sounds dumb.
     The other car was a green car of a style I'd never seen before. The windows were tinted, so I couldn't see who was inside it, but when a window rolled down, and smoke came out of it, I had a pretty good guess who it was.
     It was another cameo, wasn't it?
     "It's not really a cameo, Mother. See, Cid's a person in this world, so he's not really a cameo."
     Unless he leaves quickly, then he'd be a cameo.
     "But he's staying in our sector I think, so he'll be around for a while. Red XIII was a cameo."
     "I always thought he was a dog-thing," Cid said while stepping out of the car's driver's seat. "But I guess he could be a camel. He lives in a desert after all."
     "Cid," Shera said while stepping out of the passenger's seat, "it's not a desert."
     "Oh really?" he asked. He smoked the remains of his cigarette while pondering things. "So then, where do camels live?"
     "What're you talking about?" Shera asked while repositioning her glasses lower on her face, then looking over the top of her glasses at Cid.
     "I was - camel - red - dog," Cid stuttered, "OH $^@$ OFF SHERA AND GO MAKE SOME %#$^ING TEA!"
     Tifa had pulled up just as Cid started yelling. She was driving a hot pink convertible. Yuffie sat in the passenger seat beside her, and Vincent and Lucrecia were in the backseats. I assumed they came with Tifa since they were all from Nibelheim, and Yuffie I guess came because she couldn't drive herself.
     "I'm old enough to drive," Yuffie told us, even though we obviously didn't care one way or the other, "but my driving instructor said I'll never get my license if I keep driving so recklessly."
     Following Tifa's car was a giant camper which looked like it was a small mansion inside. It belonged to Rufus no doubt. Rufus stepped out of the driver's seat, and out of the house area walked Cloud.
     "Hiya friends!" Cloud said excitedly. He obviously still hasn't recovered from the accident.
     "He said he was invited, so I picked him up," Rufus said. "Why didn't you tell me he's temporarily retarded? And how long does the 'song that never ends' go on? See, his version lasted a total of thirteen hours. My sanity only survived for about two. He's just lucky those hot chicks from the Seventh Heaven are with him, otherwise he'd have been gone long ago."
     It was about this time that Mother came out of her tube wearing a hardhat.
     Okay fellas, I've already drawn up the zoning ordinances, now you can build your houses.
     "Mother, we aren't doing zoning, just building. Now, go build the porch you wanted your tuby to have."
     I can't.
     "Why not?"
     I'm on break.
     The construction began, but not as I'd planned. Everybody started building things they wanted instead of individual houses, so after about an hour of laying the foundations, we discovered we'd have a science lab (for Shera), a "science" lab (for the Turks), a bar (Tifa, the girls, and the Turks), a small mansion (Rufus), a garage (Cid), a gym (Barret, Dyne, and Tifa), a temple for demonic worship (Marlene), and a total of four houses (not counting Aeris's already built house). Once again, we were going to be stuck rooming up with each other. Before the real construction even began, everyone began arguing about who was rooming with whom, so I decided it was time to draw names out of a hat. This scared me because I knew that Mother had space in her tuby, and one house would have Marlene, so I hoped I wouldn't draw either of them, but odds are, I will.
