[It's often that Marlene finds herself dreaming. She dreams about things little girls dream about: happiness, princesses, flower fields and the like.

This time, however, isn't like the rest. It's been raining in Edge lately, and her adoptive not!parents haven't let her go outside. But, Marlene's been taking sneaking lessons from Yuffie, who had told her a great deal about the old traditions of Wutai: don't get caught. Sneaking outside was the easy part.

Grinning to herself, she jumped into the latest puddle, letting the water splash all around her.]

[Guess who else is good at sneaking away when she wants to, and who likes the rain?

In fact, it's raining all around her, and that's the weird part: it's raining around her, and doesn't quite seem to land on her fancy umbrella or get her wet like she should be right now. Ami approaches Marlene, one foot directly in front of the other as she walks. She steps when she's close enough to speak without being lost to the noise of the rain, and bends down to be closer to the same height.]

You shouldn't be out alone in this weather. Are your parents here to take you home?

[and there's not!parent number two. He's been trapped inside thanks to the weather lately himself and it's been rubbing his soul a little bit rawer each day.

Now that he's got his memories back, jumbled as they are, he can remember things about rainy days that he'd rather not.

So he was already outside, under the awning of Seventh out back, arms folded loosely over his chest and leaning sideways against the wall.

The tiny vision of white, pink and brunette has his lips twitching, just a little, as he watches it sneak down into the rain.

He should probably tell her to get back inside where it's dry. He should probably scold her for sneaking out in the first place.

What he probably shouldn't do, and yet can't help, is stay quietly where he is and enjoy the sight of someone happy playing in the rain.

Just as long as he doesn't hear any thunder at least...]
