INT. THE GIRLS' APARTMENT-- AFTERNOON

(Cloud and Aeris are snuggled up on the couch watching a movie- a romantic comedy. Tifa is typing away on the computer, but occasionally eyes Cloud and Aeris jealously. Yuffie and Vincent are playing chess. Vincent is winning hands down.)

YUFFIE: (Deep in thought. She suddenly moves her knight, and takes one of Vincent's pawns.) Nyah ha, got yer pawn!

VINCENT: (Not even pausing, he moves his bishop and takes Yuffie's knight.) Took your knight.

YUFFIE: Huh? How did that happen?

(Cloud and Aeris' movie finishes.)

AERIS: Oh, that was such a wonderful, sweet movie!!

CLOUD: Yeah, it was nice, but I still wish we had rented "Revenge of the Killer Salesmen"...

AERIS: (Pretending to be annoyed.) Oh, you jerk!

CLOUD: You're cute when you're mad. (He grins, and kisses her on the nose.)

YUFFIE: (Watching with mild disgust.) You guys just make me sick. How can you too stand to be so cutesy all the time?

AERIS: Practice.

TIFA: Damn it, can you guys shut up for a second? I'm having major writer's block.

YUFFIE: Ooh, what are you working on, another short story?

TIFA: Yeah, but it's not going very well, I keep writing myself into corners.

VINCENT: Well, stop writing, take a break, you'll think of something.

TIFA: Oh, ok, is that what you do when you run into writer's block when you're writing screenplays?

VINCENT: No, when that happens, I slam my head onto the table in frustration, and start crying. (Vincent turns back to the chess game.) Check.

TIFA: You're hilarious. But I think I will take a break. (She gets up from her computer, and goes over to the couch, where Cloud and Aeris are kissing again. She pushes them apart, and sits between them. In a sarcastic, perky voice.) Hello, Cloud. Hello, Aeris.

CLOUD AND AERIS: (Sarcastic.) Hi, Tifa.

AERIS: Somebody's in a bad mood.

TIFA: (Genuinely apologetic.) Yeah, I'm sorry. It's just that all of my stories seem to be going nowhere, and I feel like I'm never going to get one published. I send them just about everywhere, and I get letter after letter of rejection.

AERIS: Didn't you tell me you sent a fan fiction to some kind of contest?

CLOUD: Fan fiction? Which one? That excellent Secret of Mana one?

TIFA: Nope, the Ranma 1/2 one.

AERIS: When do they announce the winner?

TIFA: February 30th.

CLOUD: (Checking his watch.) That's today!

TIFA: Really? Damn, pass me the remote! (Aeris hands it to her, and she quickly hands it to Tifa, who switches the channel. The contest winners aren't on yet.)

AERIS: What's first prize, Tifa?

TIFA: Tickets for two to the annual Costa Del Sol Festival, as guests of honor!

CLOUD: Really?? Damn it, I love watching that festival on TV, it's so much fun! Who would you take with you? Or, ahem, which couple would you generously donate those tickets to?

TIFA: Don't even think about it, Romeo, I'd take Rude.

AERIS: Oh, that's so sweet! Well, we'll watch you on TV.

TIFA: (Sarcastic.) Newsflash! I haven't won yet.

AERIS: We have complete faith in you. (Pause.) What's second and third prize?

TIFA: Second prize is four tickets to Gold Saucer.

CLOUD: Ooh, you'd take us, wouldn't you, Tifa?

TIFA: Yeah, I'd take Rude... You... Aeris... And Yuffie.

YUFFIE: (Indignant.) What about Vincent?

TIFA: Only five tickets, Yuff.

VINCENT: The regular tickets aren't too expensive... I'll pay for one out of my own pocket.

YUFFIE: (In a romantic, gushy voice.) Really? You'd pay that much just so we can be together?

VINCENT: Yeah... That, and I love to gamble.

AERIS: What's third prize?

TIFA: Dinner for two at Monsieur Chocobo, the classiest restaurant in town!

CLOUD: And you're gonna take-

TIFA: Shut up, shut up, they're announcing the winners!!

(Yuffie and Vincent get up and go to sit with the rest of the group.)

CONTEST ANNOUNCER (CA): The third place winner of this contest, who will win a fabulous dinner for two at the classy Monsieur Chocobo, followed by a huge ballroom dance, is the lucky... Drumroll, please... (Drumroll on the TV.) Reno, from Midgar, for the fabulous "I Like Girls, They Love Me", a brief autobiography! Let's call up our lucky third place winner! (The announcer calls up Reno. His voice comes onto the line.)

RENO: Hello?

CA: Were you watching TV just now?

RENO: No... Who is this?

CA: Then I guess you didn't know you just won the third prize in the Midgar Magazine Short Story Contest!

RENO: Really!?? YES! YES! YES! Oh, yeah!

CA: Who are you going to take with you?? Surely one of the many women you wrote about!

RENO: Uh... Yeah, of course...

CA: Stay on the line for details, Reno! (Reno's line is cut off.) Ok, for our second prize winner, who gets five tickets to the marvelous Gold Saucer for two days, is the author of "Anything Goes", the fabulous Ranma 1/2 fan fiction... (Tifa gasps.) Tifa Lockheart, from Nibelheim!

TIFA: AIEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I can't believe it!!

(Their phone rings. They all look at Tifa, who runs and answers it breathlessly.)

TIFA: Hello??

CA: Were you watching TV just now?

TIFA: YES! I won, I won!

CA: Yes, you most certainly did! How do you feel!?

TIFA: INCREDIBLE! I'M SO HAPPY!

CA: Stay on the line for details, Tifa, and congrats! (Tifa gasps, and grins widely at the group.)

YUFFIE: God, Tiff, we're going to Gold Saucer!!

CLOUD: You're the best, Tifa!

(Tifa listens to the phone for a second, gives her address, and then she hangs up.)

TIFA: They made reservations for me at Gold Saucer! Oh, I'm so happy! (The group take turns to hug her.)

VINCENT: Hey, Tifa, where's Rude, anyway?

TIFA: He told me he was out having dinner with a client at Mario's Italian Restaurant. Cloud, can you take me there? I want to tell him the good news as soon as possible!

CLOUD: Yeah, sure, ok. (He turns to Aeris.) Sweetie, you coming?

AERIS: But of course. (She grins, and gives Cloud a quick peck on the lips.) Yuffie and Vincent, what'll you guys do? (They turn to Yuffie and Vincent, who are kissing passionately.) Ok, that answered my question. Let's leave these two alone.

(Cloud and Tifa nod, and the three walk out the door.)

INT. CLOUD'S CAR-- AFTERNOON

(Cloud and Aeris are sitting in the front seats of the car, and Tifa's in the back. Cloud stops the car.)

TIFA: I'll only be a second. (She jumps out of the car, and into the restaurant. Cloud and Aeris are left in the car together.)

CLOUD: Well, an empty car...

AERIS: Just the two of us...

(They glance at each other, and pause. Then, they passionately embrace each other, and start kissing. They are still at it when Tifa comes back, alone and looking sad and angry at the same time.)

TIFA: (Angry.) Do you two always have to act so damn in love!?

(Embarassed, Cloud and Aeris part the kiss and face Tifa.)

AERIS: Tifa, hon, what's wrong?

TIFA: He has the nerve to be with another woman!

CLOUD AND AERIS: WHAT!?!?

TIFA: He's eating lunch with some redheaded bimbette! Can you believe it!? Yesterday he had another "business lunch", and that was probably another date with her! And I thought he was happy with me, after we met on-line!

CLOUD: Uh... Maybe you were wrong, Tifa, maybe she was actually his client?

TIFA: What kind of a client dresses like that!? The tightest tank top I've ever seen, and a velvet mini skirt!!

CLOUD: That *is* sort of what you're wearing, Tifa.

TIFA: (Angry, and on the verge of tears.) But I'm no damn businesswoman, am I?? Besides, he didn't deny it.

CLOUD: Oh, Tifa... (He gets out of the car, and hugs Tifa.) You'll find a better guy... That guy was a loser... Besides, he was bald! He must have been at least ten years too old for you...

TIFA: (Tearfully.) Yeah, I guess.

CLOUD: You'll find somebody.

AERIS: (Gets out of the car, too. Consoling.) Hey, we're still going to Gold Saucer... There'll be lots of guys there!

TIFA: (Laughing through her tears.) That's true.

(Rude runs out of the restaurant.)

RUDE: Tifa! Don't leave me, please!

TIFA: (Furious.) I have nothing to say to you.

RUDE: Ok, I admit I was on a date with her, but... Tifa, I really like you! I just was nervous of getting so close to you, that I had to see someone else... I fear commitment... But Tifa, you're everything to me.

TIFA: Too bad I can't say the same for you. It's over, Rude.

RUDE: (Sighing.) Please give me another chance, Tifa...

TIFA: No way.

(Cloud and Aeris get into the car.)

TIFA (CONT'D): Just... Go to hell, ok? I thought you were the man for me. I was wrong. Just, goodbye, ok?

RUDE: (Sad.) Yeah... Goodbye, Tifa...

(Tifa gets into car, and Rude sighs, and goes back into the restaurant.)

CLOUD: (Concerned.) Tifa, are you ok?

TIFA: (Sadly.) Yeah, I'm fine. Let's just go home, ok? (She sobs quietly.)

(Cloud and Aeris glance at each other sadly, and they drive out of there.)

INT. THE GIRLS' APARTMENT-- EVENING

(Yuffie and Vincent are sitting together, doing a crossword puzzle. Cloud, Aeris and Tifa come home. It is obvious that Tifa has been crying.)

YUFFIE: (Jumping out of her seat.) Tifa, what's wrong??

TIFA: Oh, it's nothing. I just broke up with Rude. Don't worry, I'm fine now.

YUFFIE: Oh, Tifa! (She gives her a hug.)

VINCENT: Are you ok?

TIFA: Yeah, I cried all my tears out in the car. I'll be fine. (Getting cheerful.) Anyway, I've heard from my friends that Gold Saucer is THE place for men. I'll meet a new guy.

AERIS: That's the spirit! (She smiles, and give Tifa a quick hug.) Hey, let's order in tonight! Who's up for Chinese?

ALL EXCEPT AERIS: Me!

EXT. GOLD SAUCER-- TWO DAYS LATER

(Tifa, Aeris, and Yuffie get out of the ropeway, all three are dressed in glamorous evening dresses. Their hair is perfectly done, and they are all in stiletto high heels. Tifa's dress is very short and maroon, Yuffie's dress is also short, and cream colored silk, and Aeris' dress is knee length pink and sparkly. They all look like celebrities.)

TIFA: You know what? We look great.

AERIS: Agreed.

YUFFIE: Let's rock this place!

(All three girls take a pair of dark sunglasses out of their handbags, and put them on at the same time. They all march through the Gold Saucer gateway at the same time. After a few seconds, Cloud and Vincent walk through after them, hauling about a million bags, all belonging to the girls.)

VINCENT: Ugggh... Cloud... Tell me... How'd we get suckered into this one? Ugh...

CLOUD: We received the most incredible kisses we've ever received from Aeris and Yuffie...

VINCENT: (Stopping, then grinning.) That's right, I remember now. Aren't these suitcases as light as a feather??

CLOUD: Yeah, they are, aren't they?

(They follow the girls through the gates of Gold Saucer.)

INT. GOLD SAUCER CENTRAL-- EVENING

(The three girls walk up to the ticket girl, whose dressed in a blonde wig, and a black and fuchsia outfit.)

TIFA: (To the ticket girl.) Hello. My name is Tifa Lockheart. I am the winner of the Midgar Magazine Short Story Contest.

TICKET GIRL: Yeah, of course... Uh, but the prize was for five people... Where are the rest?

(Cloud and Vincent stumble through the entrance with all the bags.)

TIFA: That's them.

TICKET GIRL: Ok, great. Here are your tickets... (She hands them their tickets and a Gold Saucer map.) Have a wonderful time.

TIFA: (Turning to the group.) Ok, first off, let's go to the hotel and check in, and leave all the bags.

CLOUD AND VINCENT: (Dropping all the bags.) Yes!!

YUFFIE: (Turning to Aeris.) Men. Can't even carry a few bags.

AERIS: (Teasingly to the guys.) You'd think they didn't like our kisses.

(Vincent and Cloud quickly pick up all the bags and grin at their girlfriends.)

TIFA: Come on, guys, let's go. This way! (Tifa starts walking towards a hallway, followed by Aeris and Yuffie, who are followed by Cloud and Vincent carrying all the bags.)

INT. GOLD SAUCER HOTEL HALLWAYS-- EVENING

(The Ghost Hotel has been replaced with a huge building, with five hundred rooms, room service, restaurants, the works. Cloud and Aeris are walking together, and they're holding hands. Yuffie and Vincent are walking together, Vincent with his arm around Yuffie's shoulder. Tifa is walking between the two couples. The bellboys are following with everybody's luggage.)

CLOUD: (To Aeris.) Isn't this new hotel great, sweetie?

AERIS: It's just wonderful! I bet it's five stars all the way!

CLOUD: Did you know there's a jacuzzi in our suite?

AERIS: Oh, really?? Wow!

YUFFIE: (Listening to Aeris and Cloud.) Vinnie, we get a jacuzzi??

VINCENT: Yes we do, gorgeous.

YUFFIE: Oh, wow... That's great!

VINCENT: I can't wait to be alone with you, tonight.

YUFFIE: You are too tempting. (They smile at each other, then kiss each other passionately.)

TIFA: Whoa, somebody had better throw cold water on you two, since when did your relationship get so hot??

VINCENT: Right after our first kiss. (Yuffie grins at him.)

TIFA: You know, if you guys had been doing this two days ago, I would have been jealous out of my mind. But today, I'm looking my best, and I'm in a place filled with men. What more could I want?

AERIS: That's the spirit! You have to plan a strategy! Strategize a plan! Dress to impress, and wear your hair with flair!

TIFA: Did you just come up with all of that stuff now?

AERIS: Yup.

(They finally reach their three rooms.)

YUFFIE: Ok, guys. What say we take fifteen minutes to relax in our rooms, then we meet make in Gold Saucer Central, ok?

AERIS: Right!

VINCENT: Ok, until then!

(They all go into their rooms.)

*SCENE IV*

INT. CLOUD AND AERIS' SUITE-- EVENING

(The room is gorgeous, with a huge double bed, a jacuzzi, everything. Cloud and Aeris walk in.)

AERIS: Oh, Cloud, this is going to be so romantic...

CLOUD: (Picks up a brochure on the table.) Wow, chocobo racing! (He gasps.) The finals are tomorrow, make your bets by 2 pm! (He flips to the next page.) Oh my god, they're having a blackjack tournament today at midnight! (He turns to Aeris, who's glaring at him. He grins, and turns to the back.) There's also a couples dancing contest tonight... And it ends before midnight... Isn't that great?

AERIS: That sounds like fun! Lemme see! (He hands her the brochure.) It says to dress formally! Oh, I'll wear my black and white silk swirly dress! Cloud, you packed that adorable black tux, right?

CLOUD: You told me to, didn't you?

AERIS: Yeah...

CLOUD: Then I did.

AERIS: Ok, let's go change, and then we'll go tell Yuffie and Vincent about the contest!

CLOUD: Deal. (Aeris goes into the bathroom with her dress, and Cloud pauses for a second. Then he picks up the brochure.) Blackjack... OOH! SLOT MACHINES! Oh, by Bahamut's flame, poker!

INT. YUFFIE AND VINCENT'S ROOM-- EVENING

(Yuffie and Vincent enter. The room looks exactly like Cloud and Aeris' room.)

YUFFIE: Hey! (She runs towards the bed, and starts jumping up and down on it.)

VINCENT: Maybe you'd stop your childish antics long enough to kiss me?

YUFFIE: (Stops bouncing, and considers it.) Nah! (Continues bouncing.)

VINCENT: (Shakes his head, and smiles. Then their phone rings. Vincent picks it up.) Hello?

CLOUD (ON PHONE): Uh, there's this dancing contest tonight at nine... It starts in half an hour. Dress formal, and meet at the Gold Saucer Ballroom in fifteen minutes! Dress formally!

VINCENT: Oh, wow, sounds like fun. Ok, we'll see you there. (Hangs up.)

YUFFIE: (Stops bouncing.) Who was that?

VINCENT: It was Cloud. They told us there's a dancing contest in half an hour, and invited us to come.

YUFFIE: (Looks horrified.) Dancing? Are you sure he said dancing and not... Say, prancing?

VINCENT: A prancing contest? What *is* that? He definetely said dancing. Is there some kind of problem?

YUFFIE: (Nervous.) No, no problem, no, not at all, it's fine with me!

VINCENT: (Shrugging.) Ok, then I'll change into my tuxedo. (He walks into the bathroom. Yuffie runs to the phone, and dials.)

YUFFIE: Aeris?

AERIS (ON PHONE): Yeah?

YUFFIE: It's Yuffie... Aeris, I can't go to the dancing contest!!

AERIS (O. P.): Why not, Yuff?

YUFFIE: I can't dance!

AERIS (O. P.): So? It's just for fun!

YUFFIE: But have you ever seen Vincent dance?? He is just so good! I'll look pathetic with him!

AERIS (O. P.): Vincent dances? I wouldn't have guessed so, he's so serious all the time, and so...

YUFFIE: CAN WE CONCENTRATE ON MY PROBLEM, HERE??

AERIS (O. P.): Come on, I'm sure you're not as bad as you think you are! Eep, I have to go, Cloud needs something. I'm sure you'll be just great!

YUFFIE: But...

AERIS (O. P.): Bye! (Hangs up.)

YUFFIE: Arrrgh!

VINCENT: (Coming out of the bathroom in a dark red tuxedo.) Yuffie, you should get changed for the dancing contest!

(Yuffie nods at him, and goes into the bathroom to change.)

INT. THE GOLD SAUCER BALLROOM-- EVENING

(The ballroom is huge, with bright lights, and lots of tables around the dance floor, with waiters serving food. A jazz band is playing a lively tune, and a few couples are dancing, but the contest hasn't begun yet. Cloud, Aeris, Tifa, Yuffie and Vincent walk in. Aeris is dressed in a lavender short silk dress... Tifa is in the same maroon dress she was wearing before. And Yuffie is in a bright green gown. Cloud is in a black tuxedo, and Vincent is in his dark red one.)

CLOUD: Wow, this looks great!

AERIS: It's going to be so much fun.

TIFA: I'll be watching you guys from a table!

YUFFIE: (Giggles nervously.) That's great...

VINCENT: Yeah, you're gonna watch us win!

AERIS: Hah! Riiiiight!

(The band begins playing a slow song.)

AERIS: (Turning to Cloud.) Maybe we should dance?

CLOUD: Uh, sure... But I've never slow danced before...

AERIS: (Walking towards the dance floor with Cloud.) There's a first time for everything. (When they reach the dance floor, Aeris puts her hands around Cloud's neck. Cloud awkwardly puts his hands are Aeris' waist. As they danced, they got closer and closer, and soon they were so close they were pressed against each other.)

VINCENT: (Watching Cloud and Aeris dance.) Want to dance, Yuffie?

YUFFIE: (Nervous again.) Uh, well, uh... I've never slow danced before either...

VINCENT: It's easy, come on, I'll show you. (He pulls Yuffie onto the dance floor, and he shows her how to dance, he gently puts her hands on his back, and puts his around her waist, and they start dancing- awkwardly.)

(Finally the song ends, and Aeris and Cloud, who were kissing, part the kiss. Yuffie lets go of Vincent as soon as she can. An announcer gets onto the microphone.)

ANNOUNCER: Welcome to the Gold Saucer 1999 Dance Competition! (The dance audience cheers, and everyone moves onto the dance floor.) Anything goes in this, just as long as you do it with style! Jive to the music! Every pair is being given a number, which the man is going to wear on his back. If your number is called over the microphone, then you're outta there! Well, enough talking... Let's get going! (The band begins playing a fast, exciting, jazzy tune.)

(Cloud and Aeris are number 9. Yuffie and Vincent are number 17. Cloud and Aeris begin dancing excellently, Cloud twirling Aeris, etc. Vincent and Yuffie start dancing, but Yuffie is very stiff, and doesn't really dance, just sort of moves her feet.)

VINCENT: (Whispering loudly at Yuffie.) Yuffie, dance!

YUFFIE: (Nervous.) I can't dance!

VINCENT: Sure you can, everyone can dance!

YUFFIE: Not me!

VINCENT: Do what I do. (He starts doing some simple moves, and she awkwardly copies them. But as they start dancing, it gets easier and easier for her.)

YUFFIE: Hey, I'm dancing...

VINCENT: See? It's not hard!

YUFFIE: I'M DANCING!!! Yeah!

ANNOUNCER: Number 30, step out please... Number 2... Number 24... (The announcer keeps calling out numbers, until only three couples are left on the dance floor. Tifa is at a table cheering.)

TIFA: Come on, Yuff! Vinnie! Cloud! Aeris! Whoooooooo!

(Cloud picks Aeris up, and spins her around in his arms. By now, Yuffie is so excited, she is dancing crazily and wildly. Vincent is still dancing at his best, but now Yuffie is completely out of sync. The other couple is Rufus and Scarlet, who are dancing tango-style.)

ANNOUNCER: Number 19, please step out...

(Rufus and Scarlet leave the dance floor, glaring at the other two couples.)

ANNOUNCER: Number 17... Leave the floor!

(Yuffie and Vincent leave the floor reluctantly, but Yuffie's really happy, since she did surprisingly well.)

ANNOUNCER: And the winner... Number 9!

(Cloud and Aeris stop dancing, and kiss each other. The dance audience starts applauding at the kiss. The announcer walks up to them, and presents them with a trophy, and 100 GP. Cloud takes them, still holding the kiss. Yuffie and Vincent cheer and clap for their friends, even though they lost.)

YUFFIE: We were so close! In the next dancing contest, we'll beat them so bad, they'll be dazed!

VINCENT: You're quite a dancer, my dear!

YUFFIE: I learned from the master! (She grins, and they kiss.)

TIFA: (Running out onto the dance floor.) Guys, you were so great! (She hugs Aeris and Cloud.) You looked so cute together, you're so lucky!

CLOUD: (Checks his watch.) Yikes! Almost midnight! I... I have to go. Sweetie, I'll be back in an hour, ok?

AERIS: (Frowning.) Where do you have to go?

CLOUD: Uh... Uh... I heard a friend was staying at Gold Saucer, and, uh... I'm just going to visit him, ok?

AERIS: (Shrugging.) Ok, sure. But be sure to come back to my room in an hour, ok? I was thinking about taking a jacuzzi bath.

CLOUD: (Grinning.) Of course, honey. (He gives her a quick kiss, then runs off.)

VINCENT: Come on, let's go to the bar?

YUFFIE: Sure!

INT. CLOUD AND AERIS' ROOM-- FOUR HOURS LATER

(Aeris is sitting in the jacuzzi in a pink bikini, drinking straight from a bottle of champagne that was meant for her and Cloud. Cloud opens the door to their room, and steps in. Aeris looks up at him.)

AERIS: An hour, huh?

CLOUD: Sorry, sweetie... My friend just kept talking, and talking...

AERIS: Do you take me for an idiot? I saw the stupid hotel brochure! Blackjack tournament at midnight...

CLOUD: (Laughs nervously.) Of course I wasn't at a blackjack tournament... What makes you think that?

AERIS: The talk I heard downstairs in the lobby... They called you "The Master of Cards"...

CLOUD: Aeris, I'm so sorry...

AERIS: (Sighs.) Ok, I can take your apology, as long as you promise not to do it again?

CLOUD: I promise. I promise I won't spend any more of our GP on blackjack.

AERIS: Ok. (Sexily.) Then come and join me.

CLOUD: (Grinning.) I'd love to.

INT. CLOUD AND AERIS' ROOM-- MORNING

(Cloud wakes up. He's in bed, lying next to Aeris, who has her arm around him, snuggled up close. He checks his watch. He gently kisses her on her lips, then gets out of bed. She wakes up.)

AERIS: Cloud?

CLOUD: Aeris?

AERIS: I love you.

CLOUD: (Smiling, a little surprised.) I love you, too.

AERIS: (Sits up in bed.) Do you have to get out of bed?

CLOUD: (Smiles, and gets back into bed.) Better?

AERIS: (Leaning over, and kissing him.) Much better.

INT. YUFFIE AND VINCENT'S ROOM-- MORNING

YUFFIE: (Waking up.) Wow, I'm actually tired.

VINCENT: (Opens his eyes, and murmurs.) Think of me as your personal trainer.

YUFFIE: Well, nights of passion are quite my thing. (Gets out of bed.) How about some breakfast?

VINCENT: I think they're having a brunch buffet downstairs.

YUFFIE: (Clapping her hands.) Ooh, I'm there!

INT. GOLD SAUCER RESTAURANT-- MORNING

(Yuffie, Vincent and Tifa are sitting at a table, in their usual clothes. Yuffie has a huge pile of food on her plate. Vincent has a salad. Tifa fried sausages and fried eggs.)

TIFA: So, after you guys left, I met the most incredible guy! His name is Tseng, and he has his own business! He has long black hair, and the sexiest face!

YUFFIE: Great, so you'll forget about Rude any second!

TIFA: Yup! He had to leave last night, but he says he's going to come and see me in Midgar!

VINCENT: Great.

YUFFIE: Has anyone seen Cloud and Aeris?

TIFA: No... Guess they woke up late.

VINCENT: Yuffie and I must have kept them up all night.

TIFA: (Pause.) I didn't have to hear that.

(They eat in silence for a while, and finally, Cloud and Aeris enter, and sit down at the table.)

CLOUD: So, who's up for chocobo racing today?

VINCENT: Oh, sounds great!

AERIS: Cloud!

CLOUD: Well, while me and Vincent are at the races, you girls can go to the famous Gold Saucer Beauty Salon!

YUFFIE: Huh! Don't you think we're already beautiful enough?

CLOUD: Well, I know one of you is. (He smiles at Aeris.)

YUFFIE AND TIFA: HEY!

CLOUD: Kidding! Kidding! (Turns to Aeris, and hands her 50 GP.) Go make yourselves gorgeous! (He starts to walk away.) Come on, Vincent. (They leave.)

AERIS: Well... How about that makeover?

TIFA: I think I'll go natural on the eyes, but full, pouting, plum-colored lips!

YUFFIE: I want the full face done! Bright red lipstick, light blue eye shadow, dark blush, everything!

AERIS: I was my eyes to stand out! Eyeliner and mascara and eye shadow, but I'll go for just plain lip gloss and natural pink blush!

INT. CHOCOBO RACING LOBBY-- AFTERNOON

VINCENT: Yahahaha!

CLOUD: Aeris is gonna kill me...

Yuffie is trying on a light purple dress resembling a leotard with a frilly pink skirt. All three pose in front of the mirror.)

YUFFIE: We look so gorgeous! (The girls laugh.)

(Cloud and Vincent walk in.)

CLOUD: (Whispering to Vincent.) Thank you for loaning me the 100 GP.

VINCENT: (Whispering back.) No problem.

CLOUD: (Noticing Aeris, and she hasn't seen him yet. Still whispering.) Wow... Vince, doesn't she look beautiful?

VINCENT: Yeah... Yuffie looks great, too. And Tifa.

CLOUD: (Calling out.) Angel!

AERIS: (Turning to Cloud.) Cloud! (Runs to him, and gives him a kiss.) How do I look?

CLOUD: You look like an angel. (They smile at each other, then they kiss again.

YUFFIE: (To Vincent.) How do I look?

VINCENT: You look like a sexy ballerina!

YUFFIE: Great, I'll buy the dress!

AERIS: Me, too.

TIFA: What do you guys think of my dress?

VINCENT: It looks great, Tiff!

(The girls buy the dresses.)

CLOUD: I don't know about you guys, but I want to take my angel on a romantic, candlelit dinner.

YUFFIE: Ooh, Vinnie, let's leave these two alone!

TIFA: Hehe, let's go to Wonder Square and play some video games!

(Vincent, Yuffie and Tifa walk away. Cloud and Aeris smile at each other for a moment, kiss, then walk off two.)

INT. GOLD SAUCER RESTAURANT-- EVENING

(Cloud and Aeris at sitting at a table for two. They've finished eating, and are just gazing at each other in the candlelight. Cloud smiles at her.)

CLOUD: I love you, Aeris.

AERIS: You have no idea how my heart flutters when you say that.

CLOUD: I experience it whenever I look at you. (He picks up his wine glass.) I'd like to propose a toast. He's to romance, passion, pure white love, and the beautiful angel who's sitting in front of me.

AERIS: (Aeris smiles happily, and she clinks glasses with him, and sips some wine.) I'd like to propose another toast. Here's to candlelit dinners, red roses, Valentine's Day, and the sweetest, most handsome guy I've ever met, who is sitting right in front of me.

CLOUD: (Clinks his glass with hers.) Hear, hear. (They put down their glasses, and kiss.)

EXT. GOLD SAUCER-- EVENING

(The group is at the Gold Saucer exit, and Cloud and Vincent are once again lugging the girls' luggage.)

TIFA: (Angrily.) You'll never guess who I saw on TV last night on the Costa Del Sol Festival? Rude and the redheaded bimbo!

YUFFIE: Tseng, Tseng, Tseng!

TIFA: (Still angry, but a little less.) Yeah, but still... He didn't even tell me he entered the fan fiction contest!

AERIS: Why, did you tell him?

TIFA: No, but still...

AERIS: (Walking away from Tifa, and up to Cloud.) Well, that was fun, wasn't it, sweetie?

CLOUD: (Groaning with the weight of the bags.) Uggggh... Yeah... It was fun...

AERIS: Oh, sweetie, this is ridiculous, let me help you. (She takes one of the suitcases.)

CLOUD: (Surprised.) Thanks, sweetie.

VINCENT: (Turns to Yuffie.) Hey... Yuff, look what... Ugh... Aeris did... For Cloud...

YUFFIE: I saw, and no way.

CLOUD: Shall we go? (Aeris kisses him on the cheek, and they walk off, onto the Ropeway. But before they get there, Cloud turns around, and shouts.) VIVA GOLD SAUCER! (The episode ends, and the credits start rolling!)
