One Day...

By AerisRose

"Aeris...."

I heard him call my name. He called for me, he wanted me.

"I love you, Aeris. I miss you so much. I don't know if you can hear me, but I want to let you know...."

How it hurt when he did. My heart hurt, as if a knife was stabbed through my heart again. I loved him too, my soul, my heart, wanted him.

My eyes filled up with tears, which spilled over onto my cheeks. I was in the Promised Land. The Lifesteam. Green strands of mysterious light surrounded me. I knew that I should be happy. I was reunited with my mother, and my people. My race. But I wasn't happy. Hearing Cloud call my name day after day after day, his heart slowly dying, was too much to bear.

But, how I wished he would move on. Tifa loved him, I was sure. And I was sure that there was a love for Tifa inside Cloud's broken heart. But, did he feel it? Did he realize that, he should move on? Forget about me? I wish he would realize that it would make me truely happy if he would stop doing this to himself.

I knew that Cloud was having a nervous breakdown. Slowly, but surely, he was dying inside. Life for him wasn't worth living anymore. He loved me too much. He hadn't eaten or slept for days. I wanted to call back to him, to tell him that I loved him, to tell him to move on. To forget about me. But would he listen?

I would tell him that we would be reunited. One day. We would be happy. We had a love for each other that words could not describe. And we still do. I love him more than I loved life when I was among the living. When I was part of he rebel group Avalanche. The date we went on at the Gold Saucer, a special memory that I will forever cherish.

But, I will be waiting. For the man I love. One day, the gods wil smile upon us, and we will be forever happy. Together, forever. Nothing will stand in our way.

I will be waiting.

THE END

Author Notes: Well, here's my attempt writing seriously. I think I did ok, but hey, it's your job to think if I did or not! Send all comments or flames to aeris_rose@gamespotmail.com. Anyway, as of tradition, here's my list of people to thank:

Aeris Love Gainsborough. My email penpal and best friend, fellow Aeris fan, and fanfiction writer! She's the best! Read her work, Sunset Sunrise, Girl Talk, and Final Prayer!

Rika, from the Captain's MB. She's always the one to tell me to cool it when I get into a fight, and to ignore a post that she knows I won't like. She's my best friend too!

Princess Artemis. She hosts "Cid Gets A Laptop" on her page, "The Dragon Library". She's a very nice person, and like Rika, tells me to ignore certain posts that I won't like.

My parents

Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of Sailor Moon, the best Anime ever. I'm a Moonie!

Those cool guys at Squaresoft. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Anyway, I would like to dedicate this fanfic to Aeris Love Gainsborough, FSC, and Rika,(I just hope they don't take it as an insult! :)

Why does it seem that the Author Notes are longer than the fanfic itself?

Whatever....
