...Hey, Yuffie? I think I would trade you to be Rufus Shinra right now.

[RIBBIT.]

...At least I can still stand on two legs? But my feet are all flappy and webbed...and I feel disgusting.

I hope I change back soon... Dumb Touch Mes.

[For anyone wondering, she's still in her room, on her bed, since the door was closed when she changed. Yes, I recolored a Touch Me. Also, she has one other change, which might be making some appearances.]

[...Wait.] When was this?

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Today. [Room? Peeking in.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Bathtub, actually. Notice that the bathroom door has been conveniently left open for Aerith.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Unfortunately Cloud does not have ESP and thus is searching her room first.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[And Aerith is realizing it's taking him too long and he doesn't know where she is.] Cloooooouuuuud! [...Her voice sounds different as a frog, doesn't it.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[BANG Cloud jumps and hits his head on the support frame of her bed. Ouch.] Aerith?

[Cloud gets up and hunts for her. Bathroom?]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[What was that thudding sound?] In here!

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Poking girly head in now.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[...Holy hell, Cloud.]

You're very pretty today. [WHAT ARE THESE SHENANIGANS?]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

Thank you. [Coming in and crouching in front of you.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[That. That didn't even faze him--okay, something is definitely wrong, but then again he's not kidnapping people, so--er--

Oh, he's going to actually kiss her, isn't he? Okay, uh. ...Do frogs even really kiss, how does she get ready for this.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Whatever, this isn't sexy or anything. You're a frog. Kiss on the forehead.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[...She feels herself start changing just before he kissed her, but the coincidence is so striking that she could easily be convinced later that the kiss caused the change.

Cloud's no pure-hearted maiden, though, and maybe this is why even though she turns human again, she turns into the one human she'd never want to be.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[...what.



...



...WHAT.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Okay, she's got thumbs and fingers and--those are not her hands.

Oh God those are her hands or her arms or her body and she has a really bad feeling whose they are--]

Cl-cloud--

[And that's his voice cracking on the name.

Oh dear God, why.

Have you ever wanted to hear Hojo scream, Cloud? 'Cause he's going to shriek right now.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Instinct demands that he reach over and strangle the life out of that person.

NO, that is Aerith.

Oh God. Oh God. Oh God. He's going to be sick.

And ruin his make-up, he spent HOURS getting that right.]

[wingenvy]

[THERE IS SCREAMING IN HIS HOUSE. Slightly girly, slightly old-man screaming, but screaming nonetheless. So without even thinking about it, Zack bursts into the room, offering no warning and about to demand explanations.

Except.





.....What.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Zack, he--we-- [Hope you're not expecting an explanation from Aerith, because she can't stand to hear herself talking with Hojo's voice. She presses his aged hands over his mouth and sits down on the side of the bathtub, looking both shocked and furious.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Meanwhile Cloud tears the wig off his head and makes for the porcelain god to pray.

Or y'know...throw up into it. UGH HE KISSED HOJO.]

[wingenvy]

[What.

Zack is temporarily unavailable for comment.






.....What.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Okay, okay. Deep breaths. Deeeeeep breaths.

Grabbing the nearest journal, she doesn't care if it's hers or one of the guys', and ripping a page out of it to write because she's not talking, and shoves it at Zack when she's done. Please note that this is Aerith's handwriting, even if frantic and cramped.]

He kissed me and I changed again.

[AND IF THAT IS AT ALL MISLEADING ABOUT THE CHAIN OF CAUSE AND EFFECT, WELL, AERITH DOESN'T QUITE CARE RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SHE'S FRIGGIN' HOJO.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[BLEEARRRGH. ...okay done. Maybe. Sticking around just in case he isn't.]

[wingenvy]

[...Okay. Aerith is Hojo.

......Aerith is Hojo, what-

NO NO moving on. Aerith is Hojo, got it. ....Just... for little while. Probably.

....Hopefully.

Anyway.

......ANYWAY MOVING ON ew]

Cloud? Why are you in a dress...?

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Yeah ew this situation is just so much squick-in-a-box. She's looking at Cloud with some concern and she'd like to pat his back, but, uh. ...Hojo's hands. Might not be a good scene for anyone in the bathroom right now. So she pulls the hand back and just sits still and watches and hopes to turn back into a Touch Me again because the Touch Me was so much better.]

[herobydefault.livejournal.com]

[Oh God Hojo's eyes are staring at him. He can feel it because automatically you feel slimy and inferior. UGH EW. WHY. MALNOSSO. HATE.

Cloud has to stagger over to the sink and wash his mouth out and off before he can answer, and Goddammit there goes his lipstick. Might as well wash it all off, he already looks like he's crying ink over here.]

Because I wanted to be pretty.
