Author's note: The story takes place one year after DoC.

After an accident, Tifa forgot everything...She forgot about...him. How will Cloud help Tifa recover her memories of the past, and most importantly, him?


Chapter 1: Prologue


"CLOUD!"

A scream.

CRASH.

"Tifa!"

Cloud sprinted as fast as his legs could carry him, heart beating uncontrollably. Panic. Don't panic. She was sprawled on the ground, not moving, a small glistening pool of red issuing underneath her long mane of chocolate-brown hair...

"Tifa! Tifa! TIFA!"


"Doctor, how is she?!"

"We did our best to fix her up. She's fine now, but she's fallen into a coma. She's on her own now."

"Tifa..."

"TIFA!"


"Whad happened to her, Spike?!"

"Weren't you taking good care of her, chocobo-face?!"

"Is Tifa going to...sniff...wake up?"

"'Course she will, Marlene, Tifa's jus'...she's jus'..."

"The lass' gonna be okay, tough gal she is..."

"It was just an accident, Cloud, don't blame yourself."

"Yeh, she'll be-she'll be fine! Fine, I say!"

"Yeah...sob...Tifa's strong!"

"Come on everybody, let's give him some air..."


"Still no movement?" Tifa...

"No..." Wake up, Tifa...

"Sniff...don't worry, she'll wake up in time for the...sniff...big day..." Please...

"... ... ...Thanks, Yuffie."


It's my fault. Why did I let you... ...Please, Tifa, please wake up...wake up now...I miss you...I...need you...

"She'll wake up today, I know she would," Marlene whispered, clutching Cloud's hands.

"You...you think so?" the blond replied, surprised at the girl's sudden words.

The young girl nodded confidently. "It's day seven. The seventh day. Seventh Heaven...Seven...is our lucky number, right?"

Cloud smiled softly. "Yeah...you're right, Marlene."

He ruffled the girl's head and returned his gaze to the pale face of Tifa. Her long eyelashes looked...flutter. A flutter? A twitch. Was that—were those movements...?

"Denzel, call the doctor...Now."


Author's note: The idea of the story suddenly popped into my mind a few days after I finished writing Dear Cloud, I was actually starting another story already, but when this idea floated up, I stopped that story and decided to do this one instead. :) Hope you guys would enjoy it!

Next chapter will be uploaded tomorrow.
