The story setting is in Costa la Sol. Jen Bond has finally let one of her web slaves, Sephrioth, have a vacation. So our favorite mass murder is resting up on the beach getting some sun. This is where our adventure begins.

Sephy: (Thinking to himself) Yessss! This is the life. I almost feel sorry for those other losers in the Ramble Room who don't get to go on vacation…almost. I just wish something more exciting would go on around here. There's got to be more to do than sunbathing and surfing…

(Announcement speaker goes on)

Announcement: ATTENTION FOR ALL YOU VACATIONERS OUT THERE! THERE WILL BE A TIKI DANCE TONIGHT (For all of you who don't know what a tiki dance is, it is a Hawaiian-like type of dance) ON THE BEACH. THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF GAMES, A DANCE CONTEST, AND PRIZES FOR THE BEST COUPLE. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE. (Announcement goes off.)

Sephy: Hmmm…now when was the last time I had any fun…this dance may be interesting. But where will I find a potential date? Hmm…Tifa perhaps (Remembers Cloud's Omnislash) On second thought…Maybe Yuffie…OH NEVER MIND. Jeez…who's left?

(Aeris shows up, but is so far away that he cannot see Sephrioth.)

Sephy: Oh wait a minute, I knew I forgot someone. She would be nice to have on a date. Hmm…but will she go for it, though. I did kill her once, but I don't think she would remember something like that…. Is she attached to anyone at the moment?

(It's then that Reeve shows up.)

Sephy: (In a dejected tone) Oh yeah…that Reeve guy. Frank did tell me that they had this thing going. It's not fair. I'm obviously more handsome, attractive, and stronger then HIM. So why does he get the girl while I'm going on vacation alone? IT'S NOT FAIR I TELL YOU.

(I'm sure at this point that you are tired of hearing Sephrioth's long monologue, so let's switch over to Aeris and Reeve.)

Aeris: WHEW! I'd thought that I'd never get a vacation. I'm glad that Frank is a more merciful Webmaster than a few others I met. He actually let us have some time off.

Reeve: Yeah, I'm sure glad Jen overlooked me when she was looking for Shinra employees to torture. So, um…Aeris. You going to the dance tonight?

Aeris: (Knowing Reeve is about to ask her out but is just playing along.) Yes, why do you ask?

Reeve: Well I was wondering if you would like to go with me?

Aeris: Well… let me think about it? (Yes, the answer is supposed to be yes, but remember, she's just playing along.) Meet me at the bar tonight and I'll let you know. (Leaves.)

Reeve: Oh man, am I one lucky guy or what. To think that just two years ago I was only some wimpy Shinra executive with no future in the fanfiction industry. And now I have a cool weapon, a pretty good hero status, and a vacation with the girl of my dreams. Hmm…I'd better start looking for some appropriate clothing for the dance tonight.

Sephy: (Still out of earshot from Reeve) Let's see…if I bump Reeve out of the equation, then Aeris will be free for me. That's half the problem solved. I'm sure I'll think of something to take care of the Aeris problem too. But first thing's first, taking care of HIM shouldn't be that hard. He's heading for that store there, time to act.

(In the store…)

Reeve: Now let's see what do I need. One grass skirt, one flower sheet, and two flower laurels. I'm just getting exhausted thinking about all the fun I'm about to have…in fact; I'm just getting sleepy period. I haven't been doing that much so…why…(passes out.)

Sephy: (Appears with sleep materia in hand.) Have pleasant dreams. I hope so for when you wake up the true nightmare will begin for you. (Laughs maniacally.) Now for part two…(goes into Reeve's schedule book (someone like Reeve most likely has a pocket sized one) and peers into it.) Hmm… go swimming at 3:00, buy gift for Aeris at 4:30, nap time at 4:50, Meet Aeris at bar at 6:00. Well, its 4:45 now (looks at the ground) it appears that Reeve did one thing a little too early, hehehe. Now for part two, where's the materia shop again? (Teleports off to materia shop.)

(It's now about 5:55. Aeris is at the bar alone, waiting for Reeve to come.)

Aeris: What could be taking him? Oh well, he does have five more minutes to go. Let's see, should I just accept his offer right away or make him suffer a bit first?

Bartender: Can I get you anything, madam?

Aeris: Yes, I'd like a strawberry daiquiri.

Bartender: Are you waiting for someone?

Aeris: Yeah, I'm waiting for this guy to meet me here.

Bartender: Would he be about six feet tall with long white hair?

Aeris: (Oblivious to what he is talking about AND the fact that a man fitting that description is right behind her.) No, this guy isn't much taller than me and he has black hair. (Curious expression on her face) why did you ask me that?

Bartender: Because some guy like the one I just told you about is right behind you.

(Aeris turns around and sees Sephrioth. She is immediately frozen in fear.)

Sephy: Hello Aeris. Did you miss me?

Aeris: Now what gave you that stupid idea? You attempted to and ACTUALLY DID KILL ME! So why would I miss you?

Sephy: (Holding something behind his back.) You would because you always knew that I am the most attractive guy alive, as well as the strongest. Because I know how to be on time, unlike that loser Reeve who is about ten minutes late now. (In the story, it is actually about 6:10.) I bet any amount of gill that he is asleep this very minute.

Aeris: (In a blank voice.) He is asleep this very… (Snaps out of it.) HEY! How did you do that?

Sephy: (Sweatdrop) umm… (Thinking to himself.) #@$%! That's the level one materia! Where's the mastered manipulate materia.

(Just then Reeve, who just woke a few minutes ago in the store, enters the bar, still a bit groggy from his "nap".)

Reeve: (In a tone that says, "I just woke up from a nap I really did not want to part with.") Hi Aeris. Sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything?

(Just then, Sephrioth grabs the mastered manipulate materia.)

Sephy: (Thinking to himself) as I said, Reeve, your nightmare begins now! (He uses the materia.)

Aeris: (In a very furious tone.) YOU BET YOU MISSED SOMETHING! YOU MISSED YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO GO OUT WITH ME TO THE DANCE! HOW DARE YOU STAND ME UP AND THEN EXPECT ME TO GO ANYWHERE WITH YOU! WITH YOU OF ALL PEOPLE! I'M GOING WITH SOMEONE MORE DEPENDABLE, ATTRACTIVE, AND STRONGER. YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A LAZY WHIMP! I NEED TO FIND MYSELF A BETTER GUY THEN YOU! NOT TO SAY THAT IS ANY REAL TASK! (Her voice is becoming softer, but she is now speaking to Sephrioth.) Right, Sephy-boo?

Sephy: Right! I always knew that you had good choices in men. (Looks at Reeve.) You made one mistake in life, of course, but you can make that mistake up. Will you go to the tiki dance with me?

Aeris: Of course I will. I was hoping you'd ask, sweetie (pecks Sephrioth on the cheek.)

Reeve: (Is WIDE-AWAKE now and is so heartbroken that he actually has tears in his eyes.) Aeris…I'm sorry… I didn't mean to make you mad…please don't do this…I'll never be late again, heck I'll never take naps again…

Aeris: (Now speaking to Reeve in an angry tone again.) OH YOU BET YOU'LL NEVER STAND ME UP AGAIN, YOU WON'T GET A CHANCE TO! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT! (Slaps Reeve so hard that he flies across the bar and hits the wall so hard that he sees planets instead of stars.)

Reeve: (Semi-conscious) hmm… time to finish my nap. (He passes out.)

Aeris: Lets get away from this depressing foundation and head for somewhere more enjoyable.

Sephy: Well…the dance is about to start. (Holds his arm out.) Shall we go?

Aeris: (Taking his arm.) Yes, sweetie.

Sephy: (As they leave, thinking to himself.) SCOOOORRRRE! Yes! This is the best vacation ever. I have time off from torture, and I get to take a girl to a dance. (To Reeve) sweet dreams, loser. HAHAHAHAHA!

Author's note: Well that's the end of part one of my story. That poor Reeve! Will he ever get Aeris back from the clutches of the mighty Sephrioth? Before any of you Reeve fans can come to get me, this is only part one and good will prevail in the end. Special thanks for a few people who helped get me started. The people at the guestbook at Rocket Town, who, through observing the things some people wrote, gave me the idea for this fanfic. Frank Verderosa, the grand master of fanfiction who allowed my to borrow Aeris and Reeve (So this idea was allowed. Send no hate mail please.) Jen Bond, who sent Sephrioth on vacation and thus made this fanfic possible (I spent the last few weeks wondering how to fit Reeve and Sephrioth in a situation where they would have to battle. I was about to give up when Jen, in all her evil wisdom, sent Sephrioth away on vacation. He'll be back soon, I promise. Oh and by the way, GOOD SHALL PREVAIL OVER THE EWS. (Sorry, I had to say that)) Well, that's it. STAY TUNED FOR PART II.
