A/N: Hello hello one and all! So sorry about the brief absence but now I am back on track and here to present, drum roll please-my 100th story! I know, the crazy fun years just keep flying by and it only took me...ahem 4 years to do so but whatevs. This story has been in progress since the very beginning of my writing career and I'm so happy to say it is finally complete as of 5 this morning lol. Basically it is my retelling of the more memorable romantic Cloti parts of the movie but with the twist of Tifa and Aerith switching bodies-not places, but actual bodies! Ok I know it's been done before but not by me until now so away we go :)
Stander Disclaimers Apply (FFVII). No background music this time besides me watching the movie over and over again until I obtained a copy of the script via the FFVII AC collector's box set.
"Not Anymore"
By MakoRain
Chapter One
See, everything is all right.
The words were not spoken to her and yet Tifa could feel them as well as the presence of her dear friend sending them. Were they for Cloud? She followed his gaze to the church entrance and saw light but nothing else; it was all so bright.
She shouldn't have looked back. It was an odd thing to think but she knew as soon as she had done it that it was a mistake.
She hated being right in that instance…when the last thing she saw was Cloud's wondering eyes before everything flew by.
The resurrection of Sephiroth…all of those kids with the stigma…fighting Loz…the phone call that started the events in motion.
It didn't make any sense…

The sun shone brightly on the lone sleeping figure in her room within Seventh Heaven. She opened her eyes to the everyday scenery before padding over to the bureau's mirror, looking closely at the reflective glass.
Aerith gasped at what she saw. Darker brown hair a bit past her shoulders but not as long as she recalled, pale skin, chocolate eyes…Tifa. Tifa Lockhart faced her and yet…it couldn't be.

Blinding whiteness was all to be seen in the vast emptiness of her existence. She waited for her eyes to adjust and soon they did, only to see a field of flowers. Water, she needed water.
The urge for water moved her through the flowers until she was standing before a pond. Carefully she knelt and looked at her reflection closely. Light brown hair disappearing down her back and brushed away bangs in her emerald eyes with a touch of pink to her cheeks and lips…Aerith?
Aerith Gainsburough's face was in the water before her but how could that be?
A/N: Short I know but gimme a break ok? This was literally my second story ever written and I just finished it so no worries, it is complete! And since it's all finished, on to posting another chapter so you guys can review and tell me what you think please please please :)
