Alex had chosen to go to the famous Healin Lodge to relax for a while. He had had many adventures, and just wanted to calm down in a nice, peaceful, relaxing place. And what better place than the Healin Lodge. He had invited Angeal to come (*hint hint, Angeal*) and take some time off himself. Angeal looked like a man who worked his ass off 24/7. After becoming aquainted with him, Alex and Angeal had been good friends.
Alex lay outside in the cold midday air atop a high hill nearby the lodge. The sky was full of clouds and snowflakes. As he lay, the snow drifted slowly down, like they were carressing the silent air that had moved them. He stared up at the peaceful sky above, and marveled at it's calmness.
"This is quite lucky for you to be here, Winter." He said, addressing the skies and snow. "Most other places have been decimated by the destruction of war. You, however, are truely timeless. Much like... me..." He looked down, thinking of this "blessing." "You had a choice to be whatever you want. I didn't." He sighed. "I guess this is just how it goes, huh?"
The next instant, he swore he heard a voice replying, a girl's voice. "Yes, fate is surprising. However, you must let it take it's course." He jolted up. He had recognized it. The voice came again. "You are different. You can make your course. Live life to it's fullest, and be thankful for your gift."
A few minutes later, after the voice subsided, he smiled and looked down at the lodge a few hundred feat away. He lay back down, and marveled once more.
"Thank you, Sarah..." He replied, falling asleep soon after.

Estel trod across the snow, his SOLDIER training being second nature, he didn't make a single sound. He was lost in thought and didn't see the sleeping stranger in front of him, resulting in him kicking and tripping over him. "Ouch!" He exclaimed, climbing back to his feet and turning to see what he had just fallen over. "Oh! I'm so so sorry, I didn't see you there."

Alex got up, rubbing his side. "Ow... That hurt." He said after a minute. He looked up at the stranger. "I'll be alright, one quick Cure should fix it." At that, he casted Cure, and healed the small injury. "Hey, I'm waiting for Angeal Hewley, did you see him on your way up?" He asked the stranger.

((OOC: I'm here!!))
Walking up to the Healin lodge was really painfull for Angeal. In the past couple of days, he had fought lots of different things, and he caught some girl falling in a cave. That was enough to tire out even the top ranking SOLDIER. But he wasn't SOLDIER anymore was he? Angeal was now an independent man with no one to stop him. Leaving his thoughts in his head, Angeal finally saw the lodge up ahead. Good thing Alex had invited him here. He was almost dead. Looking at the lodge, Angeal saw someone laying in the snow and someone standing over him.
Strange... Angeal says to himself.
The person on the ground looked like Alex, but he had no clue who the other one was. Breaking into a sprint, Angeal ran up next to Alex.
Long time no see.

Estel was about to reply to the stranger when he heard a voice behind him. Turning around he saw Angeal standin there, a slight look of confusion on his face. Not knowing whether the remark was directed at him or at the stranger he kept his mouth shut.

Alex stood up to see his friend, Angeal. "Angeal, thanks for coming." He stretched his back, cracked it a few times, then stood up straight once more. "I'm glad you came. I've been so bored lately, I just need some time off from fighting and destroying evil." Alex had noticed Angeal's rugged look. "I'm sure you could use it, too." He then looked over to the other guy. "Hey, I'll be alright. You wanna come with us to get a drink or two?"

Estel shrugged his shoulders and let a smile form on his face. "I wouldn't say no to that, provided Angeal doesn't mind as well." He looked towards Angeal inqusitively, also wondering if he had remembered Estel yet.

Alex looked over at Angeal, and spoke to him. "C'mon, Angeal! Let's all just go down and get something to drink." Alex began walking down the snow-covered hill, slowly as not to fall down or anything, but he does. He trips over a branch that fell during the fall, and began tumbling down the hill, which was about 500 yards down. It wasn't very steep, but it still could get you going. He rolled around, down hill, for what seemed like forever, until about 2 minutes later he stopped, right in front of the Lodge. He got up, brushed off the snow, and walked in, like nothing happened. "C'MON, YOU TWO!!!" He shouted up the hill. "FIRST DRINKS, ON ME!!!"

"C'MON, YOU TWO!!!" He shouted up the hill. "FIRST DRINKS, ON ME!!!"Angeal watched Alex fall down the hill. He really did do things on accident a lot. Kind of like Zack. Well, that was before and this is now. Hearing Alex yell to him, he ran down the hill, not tripping. By the time he got down, Alex was already inside and Estel was still at the top. Weird...he remembered Estel. But from where? Then it clicked. Angeal had met Estel in Midgar a few months ago. He had completly forgotten that. Estel! Hurry up. Alex doesn't have a lot of patience when it comes to getting a few drinks. Angeal yells. That was true. Alex did have a temper when drinking. Let's just hope there isn't a bar fight. Angeal says to himself as he walks inside. It was warm inside the lodge, which was nice and refreshing to Angeal. Considering that it was freezing out, and he hadn't been inside any kind of building in about a week. Turning around, Angeal walks over to the bar. OOC: sorry Estel. i forgot about that one thread we were in together. dont know how it slipped my mind. |

Estel watched in amusement as Alex tripped and fell, so much so that he didn't realise they'd alraedy entered the bar a few moments later. Chuckling softly he leapt to the bottom of the hill and entered. "A free drink," He said cheerily as he entered, "That's enough to get any man moving."

Alex walked over to a table. He waved for the others to come over, and waited. A waitress came over to take his drink. "What will it be, Sir?" She asked. She didn't look too happy, so he decided to do something nice for her. She was quite young, around as old as Alex looked, so about 20. "You know what, I think you could use some down time. Here, take a seat."
"Why, thank you, Sir," She said. "But I have to work. If my boss sees me taking a break now, I'd get fired."
"Nonsense." He replied. "I have a better job idea in mind for you. So, please, take a seat." She did after a few seconds, and sat next to him. "I'll be right back." He rushed off into the kitchen. The other chefs were going nuts over a civilian in the kitchen, but he didn't leave so quickly. He warped from place to place, grabbing the things he needed, and stirred it all together. He rushed back to the table, scarring the girl. She giggled and relaxed. "Here we are. Some fresh ol' fashioned Coca-Cola."
She took a sip, then looked back up at him with wide eyes. "This is great!" She took another sip. "Coca-Cola, huh? I love it! You've gotta give me the recipie!"
"Sure." Alex quickly jotted down the ingredients on a piece of paper, and gave it to her. He made more for Estel and Angeal, and some for himself. "You guys coming over or what?"

He always knew what they wanted and got their attention easily. It was like he was a natural. Of course. Angeal replies as he walks to the table and sits down. So how's life been treating you?Angeal hadn't seen Alex in a couple of months, so he needed to catch up. Alex usually had some good stories to tell about his adventures to places that Angeal had never seen before. Only heard of ones. I wonder where Estel is... Angeal says to Alex, while looking back towards the door. |

Alex did have a good story to tell. "Angeal, I have some awesome news! I- Wait, that other guy's name is Estel?" He wondered for a second. "Okay then, on to my story of the day."
"I never told you about Sarah, did I? Well, she's the love of my life, and that's how I got so good with women." He shortly looked over to the girl, smiled, and went back to looking at Angeal. She giggled slightly. "I was over in the Forgotten Capital and I was summoning Sarah into this world. Speaking of which, she should be here soon. Anyway, I had to use my Angel of Death form and I made a temporal rift into Earth, which is a demension unlike this one. So, I went into the state of transformation, and I actually summoned her! IT WAS AWESOME!!!" He smiled greatly, but didn't hop up and down like Angeal did when he got some materia.
He took a few sips of his Coca Cola, and relaxed. "Well, that's my story for today." He looked around. "Hey, where IS Estel?"

What Alex hadn't noticed was that Sarah was already there, but in a form he'd never seen before. She was surprised to see that Alex didn't recognize her voice by now. She looked up at him, because she was the girl he had asked to sit. "Y'know," She began, changing into her normal form. "I didn't think you wouldn't remember how my voice sounded by now. And, yeah, I'm working here now! I'm applying for a job at the Seventh Heaven in Egde, and I should be accepted soon."

Estel had gotten distracted by a few of the girls near the entrance to the bar, after grabbing all of their numbers he headed over to Alex and Angeal, also noticing a newcomer. "Hey there guys, sorry about that, got caught up in something." He said cheerily, sitting down at the table
