"Bye Tifa!" Marlene shouted as she left 7th heaven. She threw her bag into the back of Barret's new truck, and opened the door to the shot gun side. She looked back at the place she had called home a lot in her 6 years of life. And now, she was going to see new cities and towns, all with her daddy.
"I'm gonna miss having you as an assistant Marlene," Tifa said as she walked out to say good-bye to the odd pair leaving her home. "You better come back with some exciting stories, ok?"
"Of course Tifa. I already told daddy if we come back towards Midgar that I call a night and day with you in cloud!" Marlene said with a sad smile. She was kinda sad to be leaving Tifa. She was the closest thing she ever had to a mom, and it felt wrong to be leaving her.
"You better!" Tifa said, with a sad look on her face. She looked behind her, into the empty bar and rooms above. "I'm sorry Cloud isn't here to see you off." She said when she looked back at Marlene.
"It's ok, I know he is busy. Besides, he put a special ringtone on his phone for when I use daddy's phone to call him so he knows to pick it up." Marlene said with a fake little smile. Truth be told, she had already tried calling him today, but it went straight to his voicemail.
"Ok, well, you call if you are ever close to Midgar again, and I'll make sure Cloud shows up." Tifa said, giving her little friend a big hug.
"Alright Tifa," Marlene said, "and you make sure that cloud smiles once in a while, cause I won't be able to do it for you now!" Tifa teared up as Marlene said that, not knowing when she would see her little girl again.
"Hey Marlene, ready to go?" Barret asked throwing the last bag in the back.
"Yah daddy," she said, wiping away a few tears, "I'm all set."
"Alright kiddo, let's hit the road!" Barret bellowed, jumping into his seat. Marlene jumped into the truck, and sat in her seat as Barret started the loud engine.
"Bye Tifa!" Marlene shouted out of the window as they drove away, until Tifa was a little speck.
"I know you're sad to leave Tifa hon," Barret said after about 10 minutes of silence on the road, "but we will come back someday. You and I can have a nice break in Midgar with Tifa and cloud one day. Soon hopefully."
"Ok daddy." Marlene said, looking out the window at the passing building. She didn't know when she would be back, but she wanted to be sure she had something to tell Tifa when she got back.
