Chapter 1 - Rumaging

"Vincent?" I called pushing open the door to his room.

He looked up from the piece of paper he had in front of him and flipped it over. "Hmm." His crimson eyes burned into my bright blue ones.

"Griffawn and Shannon are here and ready to leave. How about you?" I eyed the paper with suspicion. He stood up folding up the paper and I leaned against his door frame. "You know i'll find out what that is soon." Rolling his eyes at me he pushed me out the door and to the kitchen.

7th heaven was empty, except for Cloud, Tifa, Griffawn, Shannon, Reno, Vincent, and Me. (Okay, maybe not so empty...) Cloud had his arms around Griffawn and was talking to Reno. Shannon leaned against Reno as he played with her long brown hair.Tifa was talking to Shannon and playing with my motorcycle keys. I smiled at Vincent and playfully nudged his side. He looked at me, a smile playing on his lips.

"Ready to go?" Cloud asked, letting Griffawn go.

I nodded and ran to the door.

"Vincent, whats this?" Shannon asked picking up a machine that looked like a brutally tortured radio.

"That's a moniter, to keep track of the heart rate of experiment's." Vincent and I said at the same time. We stared at each other for a moment.

"I think that was mine." Vincent said. "As you can tell, I wasn't at all happy about that thing being attached to me." He smiled."I punched Hojo for trying."

We all laughed and continued to look through boxes in Dr.Valintine's and Lucrecia's lab.

"Vincent, pictures~" I taunted him.

His eyes widened. "Don't even-!!" He said lunging for me.

I stopped him, holding out my foot and catching him in the chest. "You look happy." I looked at one with him and Lucrecia, him showing her how to hold and aim a gun. "She looks like she wants to melt into your arms right there. Poor lady, she must have been going crazy."

I went to the next picture and my eyes widened.A black haired teenage boy with crimson eyes was in the arms of a black haired woman with orange eyes. The teen was laughing and trying to get the woman to let him go.

"Is this...?" I began to ask.

"My mom... yes. She was pretty, wasn't she?" Vincent answered.

"So the teenage boy is-?"

"Me. Yep... If I had known that would be the last time I saw her, I would have held on to her longer..."

I looked at the pale man in front of me. Then at the boy in the photo. They looked different, but the same. The teens eyes were more calm, care free. The white button shirt was unbottened to reavel a toned body and teares in the black pants he was wearing. He wore his long black hair in a hair tie. It looked like his life was perfect.

I looked at the Vincent in front of me. His body hidden.

Griffawn eyed the photo over my shoulder, then looked up at him. "Do you still have the sexy bod-?" I elbowed her. "Ouch!!"

"Shut up."

She stuck her tongue out at me.

"Child." I sneered and watched her run to Cloud before turning back to the dark-haired man. "Vincent.." I said, touching his face softly.

"I'm fine." He sounded distant.

"Your very handsome in this picture. I bet you still look the same under all that ." I pointed to his clothes.

I could have sworn I saw a hint of red come to his cheeks, but before i could have a second look, he was gone, looking through boxes. I silently turned back to my own box and pryed at a piece of paper at the bottom. It wouldn't come off. "Hmmf!!" I fell to the ground and heard a buzzing noise behind me.

"Uh-oh..." Reno said and turned away whistling.

"RENO-!!!" Was the last thing that I heard.

"Arecene? Hey, open your eyes." A strang voice called my name.

I groaned and opened my eyes. A blonde haired, blue-eyed boy looked at me.

"We have movement." He said, glancing over his shoulder.

I sat up and looked at where the boy was looking. A black haired boy walked to us and kneeled beside me. His crimson eyes and the way he calmed me was strange...

"Cloud, should I tell her?" The black haired boy asked.

'Cloud?' I thought. 'This boy's nuts. Cloud is a-'

The black haired boy grabbed my hand and led my to a lake. "Look." He simply said.

And I did.

A blonde haired girl who looked like the boy Cloud - but without the spiked hair and more girlish features - looked back. I touched my face, and the girl did the same.

"A-Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!" I screamed and drew back from the water. "Wha-?! Shim-??! Edeba-?!" I looked from Cloud to the black haired boy.

"It's me, Vincent." He answered. "I don't know how, but... we were turned into teenagers."
