Midgar, is busy as usual. People are bustling about. The junk man of Wall Market just got a new shipment of junk and is selling it for 5,000gil. Everyone seems to be busy. Cloud and Aeris rush down a road in the Wall Market. (Yes, Aeris is still alive. Any fanfic you read either has Aeris alive, her death, or resurrecting her!) Cloud stops in front of the Inn and checks the bag he is carrying.
"Did we get everything for the party?" Cloud asked curiously. He began to lift out some gifts and decorations.
"Almost… Just a few more things!" Aeris checked a list she was carrying. "Mom is going to be so happy when she sees our Mother's Day surprise!" Aeris tucks the list into her pocket and begins to push Cloud forward. "Come on… Let's go get the rest of the stuff!" Cloud nodded and they continued on to another shop. Meanwhile, back at Aeris' House…
"Don't touch that!" Cait Sith shouted through his Mega Phone as Yuffie reached for the cake. "I thought I told you to stay out of the kitchen!?" Cait Sith wore a chef's hat as he was busy baking cookies. All of them were in the shapes of moogles. Yuffie backed up.
"You don't have to shout!" Yuffie growled as she tried to regain her hearing. Cait Sith tapped his foot.
"I'm afraid I do because you're a complete klepto!" Cait Sith growled. Yuffie walked over to Cait Sith.
"Hey! It's the Pillsbury Doughboy!" Yuffie shouted and poked Cait Sith's Mog. Cait Sith responded by banging Yuffie in the head. "Owww…"
"Sorry. That's a reflex!" Cait Sith apologized. Suddenly, a crash came from the other room. Yuffie and Cait Sith looked at each other. They rushed into the next room.
"You $#%@^(!" Cid shouted as he stared at Barret. "I told you to hold the ladder." Barret glowered down at him.
"Me? You a real fool! I said dat I had things to do and I don't have any time to hold your ladder!" Barret and Cid were ready to kill each other before Cait Sith got between them.
"Guys, guys… We don't have time for this!" Cait Sith spat. "We have to finish preparing for Aeris' mom's party!" Tifa walked over to the group and nodded. "Yea… Let's not dawdle, otherwise, we won't get our work done," Tifa snapped. Tifa walked back over to where she was blowing up balloons. Fortunately, Tifa was done with her work. Cid noticed this and stamped over to Tifa.
"How is it you don't have to work? You already blew up your balloons!" Cid growled. Tifa took Cid's comment the wrong way and punched him in the nose.
"Enough of the chest jokes! It's getting lame!" Tifa snapped. Cid rubbed his nose and realized his folly. Cid walked away and went back to putting up decorations. Now, where are Vincent and Red XIII? Vincent and Red XIII were busy with their own tasks. They had been told to keep Aeris' mom, Elmyra, away.
"So Vincent, How are you doing today?" Elmyra asked Vincent. Vincent narrowed his eyes.
"Fine…" Vincent muttered. Elmyra felt a little out of place around the man. She didn't feel to cozy around Red XIII either. "So, why did you guys take me away from the house? Are you guys planning something?" Red XIII shook his head.
"We aren’t at liberty to say…" Red XIII said plainly. Elmyra shrugged.
"Well, as long as I'm out with you guys… I'll get you guys makeovers!" Red XIII and Vincent stopped in their tracks.
"M..Mako…vers? Vincent asked. Elmyra nodded and grabbed him by the sleeve and Red XIII by the collar.
"It'll be fun!" Elmyra said cheerfully. She looked for the nearest beauty salon and dragged both of them in. Red XIII often wondered why he got stuck with the bad jobs.
Meanwhile, in the depths of the crater, Sephiroth is making his own plans. Sephiroth paces the floor back and forth. He keeps looking at a Far Side calendar on the wall. The date is May 10… Mother's Day. Sephiroth finally stops pacing and stares at the calendar. He then scratches his head.
"I still don't get what's so funny about that cow…" Sephiroth muttered. He turned away from the calendar and walked into the next room. Jenova, in her tree form, pulsated on the couch and watched, "When Summoned Monsters Attack: Part 7." Jenova's eyes darted back and forth across the room. Sephiroth stood in front of Jenova. Jenova swayed back and forth to see the television. "Mother… Since you are to be the ruler of this entire planet… It's only fair that you get a holiday named after you." Sephiroth finally turned off the television to get Jenova's attention. Jenova spit on the floor in disgust. "I've decided, since you are the mother of all creatures… Then Mother's Day should be named after you! So I shall rename it Jenova's Day!" Jenova didn't seem to care. Sephiroth laughed. "Don't worry mother. This shall be fun! We'll start the change in Midgar!" Jenova still didn't seem to care too much. Sephiroth finally added, "You'll get to watch television again…" This seemed to get Jenova's attention. She slithered off the couch and followed Sephiroth out of the room. Before Sephiroth left he took one last look at the Far Side calendar. "Oh! Now I get it!!" Sephiroth said and laughed again.
"There! I think that's everything!" Aeris finally cried after going through her list. Cloud was busy trying to balance all the packages without falling over himself. The boxes towered far over his head.
"Aer..ris, A little help?" Cloud finally added. Aeris looked at Cloud.
"You're trying to tell me that you can spin a sword on your finger… But you can't balance a few boxes!" Cloud grunted, "yes." Aeris sighed and took a few boxes from Cloud. They continued back to Aeris' house with the gifts and party favors. "I wonder how everyone else is fairing?" Cloud shrugged and continued on. Meanwhile, back at Aeris' house.
"Okay, I think that does it!" Tifa said after a close inspection of the house. Cid wiped some sweat off his head.
"It's about $%#^*&@ time!" Cid panted. Tifa shook her finger at the pilot.
"For the rest of the day… No more swearing!" Tifa warned Cid. Cid crossed his arms and sighed. Tifa began to walk away.
"Sure… Queen Silicon!" he muttered. Tifa whirled around.
"What was that?" Tifa asked angrily. Cid quickly thought of a new reply.
"I… I uh said… I wonder where Cait Sith has gone…" Cid repaired his statement. Tifa turned away from the pilot. Barret walked into the room just as Cait Sith walked out of the kitchen.
"I'm done in here too!" Cait Sith shouted through his megaphone into Barret's ear. Barret grabbed the cat off of the mog's back.
"Listen you! Stop wit dat megaphone or I'll shove it…" Barret was about to finish his threat as Yuffie sneaked out of the kitchen. Barret put Cait Sith down and grabbed her from behind. "What are you up too?" Yuffie shrugged.
"Why… uh… Nothing!" Yuffie quickly returned. A cookie dropped from her pouch. Cait Sith gasped.
"You made cookies of your own? Why didn't you tell us?" Cait Sith wondered. Barret gave Cait Sith a scowl.
"You moron, she stole your cookies!" Barret roared. Cait Sith gasped and then understood. Barret put Yuffie down.
"Now Yuffie, march back into the kitchen and put them back… You ain't gonna ruin dis!" Yuffie gave Barret a side ways glance.
"What if I don't want to…" Yuffie said plainly. Barret lifted his gun to her head. "Ohhh! Ohhh!! I'm sure I'll want too!" Yuffie corrected herself and sadly walked back into the kitchen.
Meanwhile, the last party was just finishing their appointment. Red XIII, Vincent, and Elmyra walked out of the salon. They looked nothing like themselves. Red XIII was a brighter color than usual, probably from all the shampoos and conditioners, and he wore a ribbon and bow around his neck. Vincent now wore a black suit and bow tie and his mask had been removed. His hair flowed down his back. He looked similar to when he was a Turk. Elmyra looked pretty much the same except she had bought a new dress for herself.
"My father is probably laughing at me right now…" Red XIII moaned.
"I wish I were back in my coffin…" Vincent sighed. Elmyra grabbed their shoulders.
"Oh don't be so gloomy! You guys look so cute!" Elmyra told them. "Now, let's go back home and I'll take your pictures!" Elmyra turned and walked on ahead. Vincent removed his gun from his holster and aimed it at his head.
"Oh no you don't!" Red XIII growled as he knocked the gun from his hand. "If I have to live like this, so do you… That's assuming you're alive." The two slowly continued on after Elmyra. "Didn't Aeris do this to Cloud?"
"Yea… It must be genetic," Vincent mumbled.
"But they aren't biologically related," Red XIII corrected him.
"Oh shut up!!" Vincent shouted. The two continued on.
Near the gate to Sector 5, Sephiroth and Jenova slowly prepared to enter Midgar. Sephiroth looked up at the sky.
"Ahh… The Meteor shines brightly today!" Sephiroth told his mother. Jenova made a strange gurgling sound. Sephiroth eyed her suspiciously.
"Why hasn't it fallen yet…? Why mother, it's delayed, that's all. Like planes at the airport get delayed!" Sephiroth explained. Sephiroth waved the Masamune in the air. "Let us go! We will find the biggest party in all of Midgar!" Sephiroth pulled out a stack of papers. "And if I read the script right… I should now fight myself to become a paladin!" Sephiroth looked around. "Oh wait… That's a different script," Sephiroth scanned through more papers. "Ohh! Now I shall go to Aeris' house and rename the Mother's Day party, a Jenova's Day party!" Sephiroth laughed then he looked back in the script. "Whoops, I wasn't supposed to laugh there." Sephiroth and Jenova went to the door. Sephiroth pulled out a ring of keys and opened the door. "Let's go!"
"We're home!" Aeris called as Cloud and herself walked through the door. They put the packages down and looked around for the rest of the team. Tifa peered out of a doorway.
"Shhh! I think your mom is coming down this way!" Tifa hushed Aeris. She nodded.
"Take cover!" Barret called. Cloud and Aeris quickly placed their packages in the appropriate spots and found a hiding spot.
"Cait Sith will tell us when to come out," Tifa whispered. Cait Sith waved his hand. A moment passed by.
"Okay! Get ready in…3… 2… 1…" Cait Sith whispered.
"Surprise!" the team shouted. Everyone gasped.
"Oh, why thank you!" Sephiroth looked around. "It looks like I'm just in time for the Jenova's Day party!" Sephiroth and Jenova stood in the center of the room.
"Jenova's Day? What da hell is dat!" Barret asked. Sephiroth turned to Barret.
"It is a day when we shall all honor our mother… Jenova!" Sephiroth explained. Cloud and Aeris looked strangely at Sephiroth.
"I think that Mako energy is going to your head Sephiroth… Jenova is not our mother!" Cloud quickly told Sephiroth.
"I see you still don't understand… Jenova is the supreme ruler of this planet!" Sephiroth was growing impatient. "But if you won't honor her, you'll just have to die!" Cait Sith ran in.
"Surprise!!" Cait Sith stared at Sephiroth. "Oh Sephiroth! It's so nice of you to join us! Would you like a cookie?" Cait Sith offered Sephiroth the plate.
"Oh! Why thank you!" Sephiroth said. He quickly munched it down. "You really get hungry sitting at the bottom of a crater… Hey, Got Milk?" Cait Sith ran back to the kitchen.
"Nope, must have forgotten to get some!" Cait Sith apologized.
"WHAT! No Milk! You shall all die for this!" Sephiroth swore and lifted his Masamune. The sword caught the chandelier and brought it down.
"Hey! What is the meaning of this!" a voice came from behind Sephiroth. Everyone turned to see Elmyra, Red XIII and Vincent enter the room. Yuffie jumped out.
"Surprise!" Yuffie shouted. Barret glared at her.
"Sephiroth! You have to more careful with that sword! You could poke someone's eye out with that thing!" Elmyra reprimanded the man. Sephiroth looked down ashamed.
"Sorry…" Sephiroth shook off his guilt and prepared for another target without wrecking something else. He chose Red XIII.
"Now lion… YOU will die!" Sephiroth prepared to hit him. He stopped in mid air. "No, I can't hurt a circus animal…" Vincent snickered and Cid burst out laughing.
"Circus animal! That's rich!" Cid said. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Sephiroth turned to him.
"I really hate smokers though!" Sephiroth prepared to slash Cid in two.
"Hold on!!" Elmyra called out. Sephiroth stopped again.
"Stop doing that! You know how hard it is to lift this thing?" Sephiroth moaned.
"Why are you intent on wrecking this party?" Elmyra asked.
"Because, I want to honor my mother!" Sephiroth whined. Vincent stepped in.
"Son…" Vincent used that phrase rhetorically, "Jenova is not your mother…" Sephiroth put down the Masamune.
"What do you mean?" Sephiroth asked Vincent.
"Lucrecia is really your mother… not Jenova…" Vincent explained. Sephiroth turned to Jenova.
"Why didn't you tell me this?" Sephiroth demanded. Jenova shrugged and gurgled. Sephiroth began to cry.
"If you would have told me… Maybe I wouldn't be so screwed up!! Waaaaaah!" Sephiroth walked out of the house with Jenova following him. Sephiroth's wails could be heard from inside the house. The team looked at each other.
"I wonder what's wrong with him?" Cloud finally asked. Aeris shrugged and then looked to her mother.
"I'm sorry about all this mom…" Aeris added after a moment.
"That's okay! I've had a great day!" Elmyra told her daughter. "And we can still salvage it!" Barret looked up.
"Dat's right, we still got everything for da party!… cept for…" Barret grabbed Yuffie as she was whistling and leaving the room. He shook her and the cookies fell from her pouch.
"Then let's finish the party!" Tifa finally said. The group went off to have a good Mother's Day. But not a Jenova's Day…
