That One Night…

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was then that I saw the love of my life, my only love, my angel sent to bring happiness to me for all eternity, and for me to make equally happy. It happened so fast, but in that one moment, I knew what my life's road was going to be. And it couldn't have been much sweeter.

It was on the night of the beginning of the new year that it happened. It was the first time I'd ever been out of the house for an extended period of time. At the time I was 4. While I was walking about, it was then that I saw her. She was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off her. And as I walked towards her, I didn't know what to say. Just then a couple of punks pushed their way past me and started harassing her.

"Hey there, little girl, wanna go somewhere and "talk"?

"Get away from me. Quit it. Please stop it!" she said as they stared grabbing on to her. I rushed forward and tackled the main guy, and knocked him over. As he started to get up, I punched straight in the jaw, K.O.ing him. It was then that they knew to back off. "Thanks for that," she said. "My name's Tifa. Tifa Lockhart."

"I'm Cloud. Cloud Strife."

"Thanks again."

"No problem"

"I really feel I should repay you somehow. Wait, I got an idea. Well, since you're my hero, and we are under a mistletoe…" was the only warning she gave me before she kissed me. It was the greatest moment of my life up to that point, and stayed that way until my second time. It was also then that I found out what a mistletoe was, since the whole time I was wondering what it was. It was in that one that moment that I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, with the woman that would soon haunt my dreams until I told her how I felt about her, and how I still feel about her.

And her name was Tifa Lockhart.

So there you have it. It may be a one shot, or I may do my original plan, which was to explain why I think Mr. Lockhart blamed Cloud for the event with Tifa on the mountain top so much. Please note that I know that I'm a bad writer, as I always bring up. I mainly write so that I can receive criticism on my plot ideas. Thank you.
