Aeris sighed as she watched Reeve slowly piece everything together. She knew they should've gotten the commissioner regardless of where he had been. Now their fun was going to be ruined. At least the confusion that was going to follow would be entertaining. Being dead wasn't the greatest thing when all you did was press a button to counter your boyfriend's slip ups.

Everyone was gathered in the Seventh Heaven, angrily chatting amongst themselves or giggling. Well, Cloud was giggling anyway. Reeve raised an eyebrow at the shaggy haired blonde and pulled out a piece of paper and a pen.

"Alright, everyone be quiet, please," he instructed calmly. However, no one listened to him. So, rolling his crimson eyes, Vincent opened his mouth.

"Yo! Reeve's talking to you all, so shut up!" Everyone clamped their mouths shut instantly, still wondering what the supposed vampire was on.

"Thank you, Vincent. Now, I would like to know what's going in here."

"What do you mean?" Yuffie tilted her head before picking up her foot and scrubbing her cheek with her toes. Bizarre. Chuckling, he clicked the tip of his pen out.

"Yuffie, you are acting a tad like Nanaki. Care to explain?" The ninja grew red and looked around awkwardly. "And Cloud, what have you done with your hair?" Barret's head snapped up and his jaw dropped, taking in the absence of blonde spikes. "Vincent? You are being rather loud today..."

"Alright, I give up!" The cloaked man snapped. "I'm actually Barret, alright? I've got no idea what the heck is goin on."

"You are me?" Nanak i growled at him. "If you have done anything with Galian..." Reeve smiled victoriously and scribbled down a couple notes.

Vincent=Barret

Nanaki=Vincent

"At least I know someone has been taking good care of my body," Yuffie sighed with relief.

Yuffie=Nanaki

"Hold up, Red was me along?! I new it!" Cid jumped up and down, pointing a finger at the small girl.

Cid=Yuffie

"The Brat?!" Tifa groaned. "Cmon guys, I don't want breasts anymore."

Tifa=Cid

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Cloud demanded, hands on his hips. "You're a freaking pervert, whoever you are!"

Cloud=Tifa

"What have you done to my hair?" Barret wailed, sobbing into mismatched hands.

Barret=Cloud

"No way," Barret shook his head quickly. "There is no way you're me, Spike."

"I've got it," Reeve cleared his throat, standing. "Are you ready?"

"Just get on with it!" 'Tifa' thundered.

"Alright. Vincent is actually Barret, Nanaki is actually Vincent, Yuffie is actually Nanaki, Cid is actually Yuffie, Tifa is actually Cid, Cloud is actually Tifa, and Barret is actually Cloud."

"You hurt my brian," Cid wailed, laying stomach-up on a bench seat, head hanging upside down off the edge of the bed.

"But who mixed us up like this?" Cloud crossed his arms.

"A supernatural power, most likely," Reeve shrugged.

"None of your nonsense helped," Vincent narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, is your attention span the size of a gold fish's, Yuffie," Tifa glared at him.

"I ain't Yuffie!" Vincent thundered. Then his face softened. "I said it!"

"It it it it it it it it it it," Cid sang, skipping around the small bar.

"Look, we need to find a way to reverse this," Yuffie pointed out.

"I agree," Nanaki nodded, face twitching uncontrollably when Cid's pant leg repeatedly brushed his whiskers.

"Cloud, stop kicking me!" Cloud shrieked as Tifa irritably poked his leg with her boot.

"I ain't Cloud! I'm Cid!" Tifa scowled.

"No, Nanaki's Cid!" Cloud fired back.

"I thought Vincent was Cid!" Cid offered.

"No, Vincent's Barret!" Tifa shook her head.

"Then who's Cid..?" Nanaki frowned.

"I thought I was Cid!" Barret threw his hands in the air.

"No, you're Cloud!" Cid groaned.

"Oh yeah! I am!"

"Then who's Cid!?"

"I'm Marlene!"

"Marlene ain't part a' this, foo's!"

"Wait, so am I Denzel?!"

"Shut up, Barret!"

"I'm Peter!"

"Cloud..."

"No, wait, I'm a..."

"Excuse me, I'll handle this," a voice called over the loud arguing. They all looked up in confusion as Aeris climbed on top of a table. "Zack and I got bored because we weren't invited last night, so we changed you all for the day."

"You little..!" Vincent growled.

"Don't worry," the Ancient smiled softly. "You could always stay that way, Barret."

"No!" Both Vincent and Nanaki yelled their protest at the same time.

"Good. Now, close your eyes, all of you." They all hesitantly obeyed, and Aeris smirked, motioning for Zack to come out. "This may tickle in some spots, and even feel wet and smell badly for a few moments, but I assure you that as long as your eyes remain closed, everything will be alright." With lightning speed, the black haired man drew on all of them with a permanent marker. A mustache here, a goatee there, a scribbled mask around Yuffie's eyes, etcetera. When he was finished, he vanished with a wink and Aeris forced a giggle down, turning them all back to their normal selves- leaving the marker, of course. Then she too disappeared.

"Yes!" Cid whooped, glad to be normal again. Barret joined him, Vincent giving a heavy sigh of relief with a small smile on his lips. Cloud hugged himself tightly, still sobbing over his ruined hairdo. Tifa did a little bouncy dance with Yuffie. Nanaki yawned happily. Reeve smiled and tucked his notes away. Of course, nobody said anything about the doodles on each other's faces. They had a feeling that if they did, the dead might come back and treat them to being wild animals for the day or something, not that Nanaki would be bothered...

Back in the Lifestream, Aeris revived someone Zack randomly killed. With a heavy sigh and then a mighty yawn, she propped her chin up on her palm again.

"I'm booooooored."

The next day, Rude awoke as normal only to notice that he wasn't in his own bed. His uniforms were dirty and strewn about the bedroom floor, the bed smelled too heavily of cheap perfume, and something soft kept brushing his bare back when he stood. No matter how hard he tried to see the tickly object, he couldn't, and just wound up spinning like a dog chasing its tail until he got dizzy and wandered into the bathroom. Oh no...

THE END! THIS THING WAS SO STRANGLY FUN, EVEN IF IT'S REALLY CONFUSING AND NO ONE EVER READ SIT XD I THINK I'M CURED OF MY WRITER'S BLOCK TOO! YAY! LOVE Y'ALL!
