A/N: Oh my god! Look who's back! Who missed me? Huh? Well, I was just on Gaia Online and I got this random inspiration for a story! I hope you all like it! Tell me what you think, so I don't just give up and call myself a failure for ever thinking of writing again…
I don't own Final Fantasy 7… or Rufus… or Sephiroth… or Tifa… or, sadly enough, any of the other characters either… so SAD I tell ya! Meep…
Pairings: Tifa/Rufus; Tifa/Sephiroth; Cloud/Aeris; Yuffie/Cloud; Yuffie/Vincent; One-sided Elena/Rufus; Elena/Reno; and One-sided Reno/Yuffie
Yeah, a lot of pairings, but I like many variations of shapes involving love! So fun! And I DO happen to have my two fave pairings in there, hehehe!
Okay… nothing is gonna make any sense unless you can read my mind through the computer. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Okay, so don't go flaming me about how you don't get it! It's the first chapter, why would I make a story so… not interesting as to not have anyone asking questions.
Speaking of reviews though, not only do they motivate me, but please, don't ask me anything about the plot? I know that because I typed that, at least ONE PERSON will, but it's really hard for me to not answer all of your questions, but I really don't wanna ruin the story for you!
Enjoy the first chapter!

Final Heaven… Flames… Silver and blue… So much blood… Meteor… Sephiroth… Jenova… Death…
It was hard to take in all of this for the woman known as Tifa Lockheart. She had been through a lot in the past few years of her life. But after all of the deaths, all of the blood lost… she had learned the most important lesson of her life:
Never give up.
Not saying that she ever gave up before all of that, no, but she truly understood that three-worded sentence now. You can't just stop.
Stopping… Stopping life…
No, she didn't know why it was that she was walking through her hometown as it was being burned to the ground. She didn't have any clue as to what was going on. She knew she wasn't fifteen again, because then she wouldn't have opened her bar, Final Heaven, yet.
But as she walked through the flames, she began to feel different. She felt almost… insane. She didn't understand what was possessing her to walk through those flames, to slowly, yet somehow amazingly quickly, make it to the Mako Reactor on Mt. Nibel… and that was when she noticed something was definitely not right…
Not only did she feel taller, insane, and almost possessed… the Mako Reactors had all been burned down, or shut off, so she just couldn't understand… why the one in Mt. Nibel was up and working.
As she walked into the room that hosted all of the pods and the door to where the Shinra had previously kept Jenova, she ended up stopping… right in front of the door. And when she turned around to the sound of running footsteps…
"NO!" Tifa screamed, sitting up. She had had the dream… no nightmare, yet again. She had normally woken up before that, but this time… she didn't. As she stood up, she immediately sat back down from dizzyness. She didn't worry though, as it happened often since she stood up too fast.
She stodd up again, much slower this time, and made her way to the bathroom, where she splashed her face in ice cold water… and screamed when she looked in the mirror.
"Ahhh!" She brought her hands up to her eyes and…
"Tifa?" Denzel muttered. He rubbed his eyes and looked up at Tifa. "Are you okay? I heard you screaming so I wanted to come check on you."
Tifa held out her arm to the poor, confused child and said, very clearly, "Pinch me."
Denzel hesitantly did as he was told and pinched Tifa's arm. When she yelped in pain, not very much but still a little, Denzel once again asked if she was okay.
"No Denzel… I'm not okay…"
"I'm gonna go get Cloud… would that help?" Denzel asked. Tifa nodded, unable to find any more words for the time being.
Cloud had decided, after seeing Aeris and Zack the day Denzel was cured of Geostigma, that he would stay with Tifa and help out at the bar, not to mention continuing his delivery service. He was always in a bit of a better mood now, so he even aswered his (beautiful, I want it really bad) cell phone.
But he did not expect that at 2 AM, on July the 18th, a year, exactly, after he defeated the SHM and Sephiroth for the second time, that Denzel would run into his room and wake him, yelling the words "Tifa needs help!"
Cloud urgently rushed to where Denzel was now frantically running, as Denzel was getting a bit freaked out about Tifa. She never would actually tell him or Marlene if she wasn't okay… only Cloud. Her optimism was gone, if only for a moment, and that scared Denzel.
The boy pointed to the only bathroom in the house, and once Cloud stepped inside, Denzel went back to his room.
"Tifa?" He asked, gasping in surprise when she turned to face him.
Not only did she have a single tear staining her left cheek from her crimson colored eye… the other eye was now a turquoise color… shining with Mako.
"Please tell me I'm going insane… that there is nothing wrong with my eyes at all?" Tifa asked Cloud desperately.
"Tifa… what…? How is your eye the… the same color as…"
"I don't know Cloud! I just… I've been having these horrible nighmares lately, tonight's being the worst, and when I woke up and came in here… I just looked up and it was there!"
"What kind of nightmares?" Cloud asked, leading her back to her room.
"I was… walking through a fire in Nibelheim… I looked up at the reactor on Mt. Nibel and it was running, which definitely set off the "something is wrong" factor… I felt as though I was a different person… and then the dream went farther than it ever has before…
"I went into the reactor and walked up the stairs in the room with all of the pods, you know? And when I reached the door to where Jenova used to be, I heard footsteps… and then I woke up," Tifa explained.
"And somehow you now have… a differently colored eye…" Cloud concluded.
"Yeah. I just… I want to know what's going on. Why am I having these dreams? Why do I have… this eye?" Tifa asked.
"I don't know Tifa… I don't know."

A/N: Oh, my gosh! How many of you think this is the most dumb thing you have ever read in your life? Me! Yeah, after reading over that… I feel really bad about it… maybe I'll just make this some tragic two-shot instead of making it a fully-fledged story… what do all of you think?
