Just like old times he thought to himself, with more than a hint of bitterness due to the old memories now flowing rapidly threw his mind. He ignored them and continued walking the cracked pothole filled sidewalks of Edge towards his destination. When he arrived he would begin his latest mission. His particular order for this mission wasn't like anything he had done in a very long time, or at least what felt like a very long time. However he didn't care, he wasn't nervous. He couldn't be nervous, he wasn't allowed to be. It was yet another mission, regardless of what he had to do, and he would execute any mission to his absolute best. That was his job. And so it begins he thought as he spotted his destination, now in view. He slowly approached the door of the tavern that was known as Seventh Heaven. It made him think of his last visit there a few weeks ago with Reno and Rude. He thought that night would be such a disaster; however it didn't go nearly as bad as he expected it to.

*3 weeks ago*

"Yeo boss!" Tseng didn't even have to lift his head to recognize the voice of his co worker.

"What is it Reno? Haven't you and Rude clocked out for the night?" Tseng lifted his head from the documents he was reviewing for about the tenth time that night and shifted his gaze to the red headed Turk.

"Ugh….yea boss we were just wondering…if you want to come down to the bar with us"

Tseng remained expressionless. "You ask me to come every Friday night and I always refuse, my answer remains the same"

Reno rolled his eyes and smiled "Ok….ok tell ya what director. You come with Rude and I tonight, just this one time…and, you will never have to listen to me complain about it anymore"

Tseng raised an eyebrow. Reno had been annoying him to no end the past few weeks constantly badgering him how he never goes to get a drink with them. It's not that he didn't like Reno and Rude; he just wasn't a big drinker. Bars where never a go to spot for him, not to mention he was busy, very busy in fact. He leaned back in his chair, the idea of Reno's complaints no longer in his ears appealed to him.

Tseng stood up and buttoned his suit jacket. "So you will end your consistent nagging then if I agree to go?"

Reno began undoing his tie "You got it!"

The raven haired Turk cleared his throat "very well, I will join you both." Tseng smirked "On the condition that you agree to do this week's consolidation of our documents…..off the clock"

Reno squinted his eyes and groaned "You drive a hard bargain….all right all right I'll do it"

Tseng attempted to hide his smirk "Let's go then, I'm done here for the night"

She was so frustrated she could hit something. "C'mon, what is this stuff?" she mumbled to herself. Tifa continued scrubbing the stain on her shirt over the sink. She had no idea how she got it and she didn't feel like changing. "Oh well, it could be worse." She ran upstairs and opted for her blue knit sweater. She then removed her tight pants and put on a pair of leggings. She sighed and went down to the bar to continue her spot cleaning before she opened. It's too quiet in here she thought.

Ever since Barret took Marlene and Denzel with him on vacation last week the whole place seemed empty. Not that she didn't want them to go! When Barret called asking Marlene and Denzel if they wanted to go on vacation with him to Costa De Sol, Tifa was so happy for them. Barret begged Tifa to come to but she couldn't close down the bar for 2 whole weeks. She simply could not afford it right now. Ever since the whole incident with the remnants Cloud was home much more. He would do his deliveries then return, he was in great spirits nowadays and it pleased her. Yuffie always nagged her about her and Clouds relationship, however it remained strictly platonic. They loved each other very much, and where best friends. She would always love Cloud, however they both grew and the childhood crush became a commitment of friendship and nothing more.

Of course it was just her luck that Cloud had a long trip for his latest delivery and wouldn't be home until around the time the kids and Barret returned. I'll call him tonight, and Barret.

Tifa checked the time and smiled. It was 10 pm time to open her tavern and have the company and comforting chatter of her costumers.
