Chapter 1
Leaning against a nearby home in Rocket town, Cid gets bored and looks around at where his Rocket had once stood, tilted at an angle. His life as a pilot seemed to be over, His Tiny bronco had been shot down, his rocket was blasted into space to strike the meteor that once towered over the planet but now ceased to exist, and the Highwind was beginning to be a bore to him, now that everyone had left to go live there own life. Cid looked to the clear blue sky for answers, but known came to him.*
"Cid? Are you ok...,"
*A women approached him and looked downward to see that Tifa had was talking to him. He looked away and straightened himself onto the ground. *
"I'm just peachy..." He told her sarcastically.
Tifa knew there was something wrong and she was about to ask why but stopped thinking better of it. Tifa turned and started to leave but Cid stopped her when he asked,
"What are you doing here? I thought you were with Aeris and Cloud now...,"
Tifa didn't know how to respond, he seemed hurt.
"Well?"
"Uhh... I didn't want to bother them,"
Cid turned to her and Tifa turned away and continued to walk out of town.
"Wait... why did you come here?"
Tifa stopped but didn't face him.
"Because.... I wanted to check up on you... I was worried about you and the others,"
Cid smiled a bit and lit a cigarette in satisfaction.
"That's what I thought you'd say, well... why don't ya come with me to Cosmo canyon? The highwind is getting to be extremely boring without someone else besides myself on it,"
He chuckled a bit her. Tifa stayed silent and bowed her head in thought for a moment then lifted it in a quick motion as she turned to him. A look of happiness was spread across her face and she nodded.
"Sure, I'll go,"
Cid turned towards the Highwind, which was parked behind town, next to where the rocket once stood. Tifa followed closely behind him and they reached it shortly. Tifa climbed aboard first and Cid quickly went up after her in excitement, He ran to the control panel on the top deck and started the ship up. It began to hover above the ground and Cid moved it carefully away from the town so not to harm it, he sped off slowly towards the middle of the pains then pulled the large lever on his right. Tifa had come up to the front window as they sped fast towards Cosmo Canyon but the smooth ride turned into a deadly bumpy in a quick second. A rumble began through out the ship, and Cid knew at once something wasn't right, Screeching noises could be heard in front of them and Tifa's looked turned from exciting to shocked.
"Cid! Someone's firing at us!"
"What!?! Those goddamn mother ****ers!! Shit!!"
Cid quickly held the ship's wheel as long as he could but it seemed to be no use... his last attempt to be a pilot had failed him... He looked over at Tifa, anger stuck as his expression.*
"Abandon ship!"
