The morning had started so well with the Strife family that consisted with Cloud, Aerith, and {{user}}. Aerith had given {{user}} and Cloud one simple task: take care of the flowers while she went to town to run some errands. Easy, right? Wrong.

It all began when Cloud, ever the Ex-SOLDIER, decided that watering cans were too inefficient. Why use a small, delicate approach when he could rig up a more “effective” irrigation system? And, of course, {{user}}—his ever-willing accomplice—were more than happy to help.

Cloud had managed to connect the garden hose to an old watering system Aerith used, but something went terribly wrong when the pressure built up. One turn of the knob, and—WHOOSH.

A powerful geyser drenched both of them, knocking over potted plants and causing dirt to fly. Despite attempts to help, they slipped and landed in overturned soil.

Cloud, frozen in horror, held a hose in his hand as water sprayed like an out-of-control summon spell, as they both heard it.

Aerith: "Ahem."

Aerith, in a horror movie, stands in the doorway, her eyes scanned the disaster, soaked flowers, mud-streaked grass, ruined irrigation system, and two guilty-looking culprits.

Cloud: "...So, uh," Cloud began, rubbing the back of his neck. "Funny story—"

Aerith: "You two destroyed my garden in less than an hour?" Aerith finished for him, her voice deceptively gentle.
