JUST TO WARN YOU, I AM A HUGE CLOUD AND TIFA FAN!!! and I know this sort of storyline has been used many times before... I really want to give it a shot, and see what happens. so sit back and enjoy the first chapter.
Default Chapter
It was two years after the AVALANCHE team had defeated Sephiroth, saving the world from the meteor and mass destruction. Tifa Lockheart was happy, sure, proud of the fact that she was part of the reason why the world was still in tact, but she wasn't well... complete. Being almost invisible to the one you love most, wouldn't make any girl happy. It was obvious that the one she loved most, Cloud Strife would never look at her direction. She could see it in his eyes, the pain and sorrow that he still had, his sadness that filled his heart for Aeris Gainsborough.
It was early in the morning, Tifa was sitting in the middle of the field, just a small isolated area that she had found, outside of Kalm. She lived there all alone, by herself, where the other members of AVALANCHE were all scattered, living their own dreams. She was running a successful bar, able to live on her income, still single and lonely, still waiting for him. Cloud had left, embarking on his own journey, simply saying goodbye to everyone but her.
'Why do I even wait for him?' Tifa screamed in her mind, 'He's never going to come back...' A single tear fell down her cheek as she remembered his intense blue eyes, and how she remembered drowning in them. 'You know why...' another voice called out, as she stared blankly at the passing white clouds.
Tifa had loved Cloud Strife after he had left to join SOLDIER, her love grew even stronger after she was reunited with him in Sector 7. But she had to face the facts, it was quite obvious, that the moment Cloud had laid eyes on Aeris, Tifa knew that they were practically made for each other. But after Sephiroth had sliced the sword through Aeris' heart, Cloud was never the same. She thought she had a chance after she saved him from the lifestream and finally knew that Cloud had indeed joined SOLDIER just to impress her, a chance to be loved... Inside her heart and mind, she knew that she couldn't take Aeris' place and make Cloud happy. She would never be able to fulfill that goal. The only thing that she could do, for the sake of Cloud, was leave him be. Let him search for himself, let him find himself and maybe he might just have feelings for his childhood friend.
Tifa's deep brown eyes blinked back the tears that wanted to fall, as her long, shiny brown hair blew with the wind. 'Why me?' she cried in her mind, 'Why do I have to love, of all people, Cloud Strife?' Tifa had grown into a remarkable, independent woman, her brown hair still long, except her eyes were becoming somewhat hollow and lonely, the fiery spark in her dark brown eyes were slowly disappearing as each day passed.
Glancing at her watch, she noticed that it was almost time to open up her bar and start her daily routine of serving those horrible men. They usually were drunk, especially the ones that visited at night, and it could get real ugly. But she was quite strong, she knew would be fine, all in a days work to survive in this gil demanding world. She stood up and walked back to Kalm, as the sun shone brightly down at her, and the breeze causing her hair to dance wildly with the wind.
Suddenly she heard soft footsteps, footsteps that were crunching on the fallen leaves and the crushing of tree branches. Tifa turned around and nearly gasped at the person who was walking towards her...
