Story:
Tifa and Aerith were running around in the field when they are stopped by the voice of a young man. Tifa turns around to see it is Cloud an 18 year old energetic boy running toward her. She shrugs her shoulders and begins running again. Aerith stands there watching Cloud approach the two of them "Hi Cloud" Aerith says smiling. Cloud stops in front of her and places his hands on his knees, bending over and pants for air. "Oh hi Aerith...Tifa" he begins "Tifa hi...how are you?" Cloud calls out. Tifa stops frolicking and does a little wave before returning to running. Aerith is the same age as Tifa (17) but Aerith is more petite then her. She is the opposite of Tifa: quiet, friendly, shy but both are beautiful and she treated Tifa like a sister. She knew Cloud has a crush on Tifa but she couldn't help but be attracted to him. Tifa is an adventure seeker, demander, dare-devil, open-minded person she wasn't interested in Cloud that way. She didn't picture herself settling down with one person for long she yearned for adventure. All three sat by the lake soaking in the sun Aerith decided to break the silence "So Cloud did you hear any word from Solider?" Cloud took his gaze off the shining water and turned toward Aerith. His blue met her emerald green eyes and said, "Ehh any day I should be getting a letter if I got accepted or not" he then turns his attention to Tifa who is writing something in her journal.
Cloud looked at Aerith as a good friend. He and Tifa had no clue that she secretly had feelings for him. Cloud stared at Tifa not taking his gaze off her. Cloud was drawn to her beauty and her strength. She was wild and spoke her mind he enjoyed being around her. Two says later a letter came for Cloud it was from Soldier it said that they has accepted him and his course time would take 5 years. Aerith and Tifa met him at the train station were they bid him farewell. Aerith hugged him and wished him the best trying to hold back her tears. Cloud walked over to Tifa who was looking at the other Soldiers on the train. Cloud hugged her and begins to say, "I will miss you Tifa I promise to keep in touch because or friendship will be forever" Cloud then boarded the train and was off. Aerith and Tifa both walked home. They stayed together with Aerith's mom and Tifa's dad. They weren't married but Aerith and her mom rented the bottom half of their house. Two weeks after Cloud left he sent his first letter. Aerith rushed upstairs carrying the letter with great care "Tifa oh my gosh Tifa Cloud sent a letter." Tifa pokes her head from her closet and tells Aerith to read it if she wants and if not then place it on her dresser over in the corner without hesitation Aerith opens the envelope and begins reading the letter
