Scotch and Kotch!

"You're a lot of things, little lady, but a saint DEFINITELY isn't one of them!"

"After how you treated our boss? You're either a sinner or a VERY naughty girl. Thankfully..."

In that moment, two men popped out, having assumedly been hiding near the entrance doors! One of them with a bright yellow mohawk and an orange jacket. The other, with a green tangzhuang jacket and slick black hair. They posed together, beaming with energy, as if commanding a stage.

"Scotch and Kotch are here to teach you respect!"

"...Who?" Aerith tilted her head, seeming more confused than intimidated. After a rather awkward pause, she peeked up. "Oh! Wait! You're Corneo's goons, aren't you?"

The memories came flooding back! Her and Cloud's infiltration to save Tifa from the lecherous Don Corneo. He'd been such a creep, she'd nearly forgotten about these two. A fact that clearly deflated their entrance...

"Goons? We're lieutenants. Entertainers..." Kotch grumbled moodily, until his partner nudged his side. Clearing his throat, he perked up, and continued their monologue.

"Speaking of the Don-- He still wants you. And Corneo ALWAYS gets what he wants. So we nabbed you, stripped you, and got you all ready to be the next Mrs. Corneo. And what better place for such a grand union than a church?"

"Feel free to thank us later. Now, for the moment we've all been waiting for... DON... CORNEO!"

Scotch flourished toward the door! Aerith tensed, really not looking forward to meeting HIM again, especially like this! But the door... Never opened. Scotch and Kotch stared at the entrance along with her.

"Don... CORNEO!"

Again, silence. The two lieutenants turned to each other, then Aerith, then turned away to speak in hushed tones.

"You organized Corneo's transportation, right?"

"What? Why would I have done that?!"

"Because I was tracking the girl!"

"No, that's what I was doing!"

"Excuse me, sorry... Can I have my underwear back while you guys sort this out?" Aerith asked, peeking her head over their hushed arguing session. The two thugs jumped back and, like true showmen, put on their most convincing acts possible.

"No can do! The Don will be here any minute to claim you. Just... Sit tight. Not like you can go anywhere like that anyways."

With that, both Scotch and Kotch darted out of the church to fetch their boss, leaving Aerith once again alone and completely bare. They had a point... She couldn't really run off while she was still naked.

But just waiting here for Corneo wasn't much of an option, either...
