A/N: This is my third fanfiction. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as they enjoy my Harry Potter and Sookie Stackhouse fanfiction. That's all I really have to say at the moment…

I Rather Be Saving the World

Chapter One: Can't I Get a Moment's Peace?

It had already been one month since Reno left me for another woman he had just met, but I was still finding myself daydreaming about him coming back to me. I still loved Reno even though my better judgment said not to. I couldn't help the way I felt and I couldn't believe after three years he could just get up and leave like that.

Now here I was rewashing an already clean glass behind the same bar I have been working at for I don't know how long. There were tons of people around me trying to catch my attention for whatever reason, but I didn't care. It was pointless, it was all pointless now.

"Tifa? TIFA!"

"Huh… What is it, Yuffie?"

"What is it? WHAT IS IT!? I have been trying to get your attention for over an hour and that doesn't even include the numerous customers that have been calling your name as well!"

"WELL IF ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM JUST LEAVE!" I screamed as I threw the glass I had been washing down on the floor. The shards spread everywhere and even cut my exposed legs, but it didn't hurt.

Yuffie stood there shocked as I watched quite a few people leave. I glared at the remaining people and then they too finally left.

"Now no one can complain. The bar is closed for the rest of the day!"

"Tifa…" I couldn't stand it anymore. I needed to get away.

I ran out the front door and climbed onto Cloud's motorcycle he had left me while he was away. I drove and drove until I couldn't see more than an inch in front of my face because of all the tears.

I found myself at the old water tower I used to visit when I was young. Even this didn't seem to ease my suffering.

I leaned against the tower and looked up at the sky.

"What am I going to do? If I keep blowing up on Yuffie like that she'll end up quitting and having her there has been my only comfort."

The sky grew dark and I figured it was time to go back, but I just felt like I needed to stay a bit longer. Just one second was all I needed. There was something coming that would give me a sign of some sort… and before long it came. A shooting star raced across the sky and I knew that was it. The time for change was here… at least I hoped it was.

I drove back towards the bar not knowing if Yuffie would still be there or not. Sometimes she stayed in the extra bedroom I had upstairs, but more often than most she has been with Vincent. That was probably one of the reasons I kept taking everything out on her. She was happy and still had the love of her life, but as for me he left for something deeper than love, lust.
