With a blinding flash it was all over. Cloud stood up, and blinked. He turned to face the rest of his crew.
"So, what d we do now, then?"

"HEY, YUFFIE! WAIT UP!!!!"
Yuffie Kisaragi turned around, a huge grin on her face. Dressed in her old fighting gear, her amrour having considerably more dents than before, and her Conformer shuriken having seen more than its fair share of killing, Yuffie looked much more like a seasoned warrior. Her dark hair was slightly longer, yet her eyes still contained that old glint of mischief.
Running over the hill were her two new friends, whom she had met shortly after the battle with HIM. Hong Yu Long, an oriental girl, with long ebony locks, and dressed in a modest blouse and skirt was 16 years old, and worryingly optimistic. She could always find the silver lining, and was insistent that everyone one else see it too. She was, however, extremely deadly with her rapier, the Celestial Blade, and knew a great deal about poisons and potions.
Second was Daeda Windemere, a young lad, 18, the same age as Yuffie. He had short brown hair with bangs reaching down to his eyes. Very quiet yet good natured, his pacifism often drove Yuffie mental. He was skilled in barrier magic, and wielded a rather nasty pike called Eclipse. He only fought in the most desperate of circumstances. He also had a strange ability to sense what had previously happened in a certain place, provided he was standing where it happened.
After the battle, Yuffie had returned to Wutai, and had met these two friends, who had decided to travel as much of the world as possible before meteor hit. They had happened to be staying in Wutai at the time. Despite the fact the threat was now over, Yu Long and Daeda both wished to continue their journey. A very bored Yuffie had decided it was in their best interests that she accompany them.
"Yuffie, wait!" panted Yu Long. "It's getting dark, shouldn't we set up camp now?"
"Yeah, alright, whatever!" sighed Yuffie. She wasn't tired, and didn't particularly feel like stopping.
"We don't all have boundless energy, you know!" grinned Daeda. "We can continue to Nibelheim in the morning."
-
"I wonder if it's going to be a boy or a girl."
"I think it will be a boy. I can just tell."
"Heh, I'm gonna be a dad! That's something I'd never thought I'd say..."
"Huh? I something wrong?"
"No, I just-I mean, it's nothing, really..."
"You can tell me anything, you know..."
"Yes, I know. I love you Faith."
"I love you too,"
Daeda awoke with a start. (What was that?!?) He thought. (Faith, that's my mothers name...) Daeda got up and left the tent for some air, quietly so as not to awaken Yuffie or Yu Long. Daeda's mother hadn't wanted him to leave. Born in Junon, Faith Windemere was a gentle soul, like her son. She had brought him up single handedly, as his father had left when he was only 3. He didn't really remember him.
(Was that my father I heard?) he wondered. Sighing, he decided to dismiss it for now and returned to bed.

"WAKEY WAKEY RISE AND SHINE PEOPLE!"
Yu Long was making breakfast, and encouraging the others to join her.
"ugh sumb'dy btter shut'r up." Mumbled Yuffie into her pillow
"COME ON PEOPLE, DON'T MAKE ME WAIT ANY LONGER!"
"Is it me, or does she get louder?" groaned Daeda.
After a quick breakfast, the troop headed northwards to Nibelheim.
"Nibelheim..." said Yuffie
"Huh, what is it, Yuff?" asked Yu Long
"Oh, nothing, it's just, this is where it all began, years ago."
"OH, you mean HIM."
Nobody liked to mention the name of the person who had nearly destroyed the world. They saw it as a jinx. Yuffie smiled, and pressed onwards. (I wonder if anyone I know is still there...) she wondered.
Daeda pushed open the gate to Nibelheim, and stepped inside. "Hey, It's really nice!" he said. "Surprising what can come out of a quiet little town like this!"
"Yeah. It IS beautiful though," sighed Yu Long.
"Hey, wait a minute, is that- Yuffie?!?!?"
The trio turned to see the owner of the voice. Rushing toward them was a brunette girl, hair cut down to shoulder length, arms and legs toned in a way that showed she was a skilled martial artist.
"Wha- TIFA?!?!?"
Yuffie ran to embrace the brunette. "Geez, Teef, it's been so long... and you're your hair!"
"Do you like it? I decided on a change..."
Noticing the other two, she held out her hand.
"Hi, I'm Tifa Lockheart"
"Hi, I'm Yu Long, and this is Daeda."
"Nice to meet you both. We can get better acquainted inside"
-
"So wheres Cloud?"
All four were sat around the table in Tifa's dining room. After the introductions and stories behind everyone, Yuffie decided she wanted to get straight to the point.
"Well, erm, to be honest Yuff, I haven't seen him in over a year now..."
"Oh? Didn't you two..."
"No. I just, I don't know. I don't know if what I felt was love, or more like the fact he was all that remained of my past, after HE took everything from me" Bitter tears welled up in Tifa's eyes. "I'm sorry, it just still gets to me, even now..."
"So, did Cloud feel the same way?" asked Daeda
"I don't think Cloud knew what he wanted, just someone to care for him." Tifa sighed. "Anyway, I've moved on and got on with my life. Oh, yeah, Yuff theres sometjing I need to tell you..."
There was a knock at the door.
"Teef, you in?"
"Who's that?" asked Yu Long
"Erm, that's what I was gonna tell you," blushed Tifa. "It's my fiancé..."
"Hey, get IN there!" grinned Yuffie. "So who is the lucky fella?"
Just then the door opened, and stood in the doorway was...
Cid.

A/N - so, whaddya think so far? Not much a plot yet, but I'm working on it! I just decided to get the intro done. Read and review please!
