Blue Ocean - Prologue

A/N: Italicized words means people are thinking.

Tifa was sleeping on her bed in Costa De Sol, when her alarm clock went off. She jerked awake, and she looked around her. She still felt like everything was a dream, defeating Sephiroth and saving the world. It only happened last night, after all. Aeris's prayer did not go in vain...I miss her so much...
Tifa stood up, and walked outside to see the rising sun. It was very beautiful. She wished Cloud was here. Or the others... Hey, where ARE the others? She went back inside, and looked around. She noticed Cait Sith "sleeping" on the couch; Cid, Vincent, Yuffie, and Barrett were on the floor, spread out in sleeping bags. Red XIII had gone home to Cosmo Canyon.
Tifa gently woke up Barrett, and stood over him.

"What...? It's only 6 a.m. Tifa. Go back to sle--zzzZZ" Barrett fell back asleep.

"Barrett!!! Cloud is gone. Do you know where he is?" She playfully kicked Barrett in his back.

"Cloud is gone? Oh...Ummm...he told me that he was going to go visit Aeris's church. He had a feeling it would still be there. He left last night. Said somethin' about 'Aeris's spirit is calling to him.' Or something...Now, I'm trying to sleep. Goodnight..." Barrett dozed off again.

Tifa was worried about Cloud, and she wanted to see him. Even if she could only be his friend. But she was also excited about the prospect of meeting Aeris again. Tifa knew that Cloud still loved Aeris, but she didn't hold anything against her friend. If they were meant to be together, then they will be...right? She silently walked out of the mansion, and into the sunrise, which was still, well, rising. She sighed, and walked over to her Gold Chocobo.
