Disclaimer: I do not Own Final Fantasy VII or any final fantasy. :) but I sure wish I did! :D

I don't have anything against Justin Bieber either :D "I love his songs"

This is My very first story in fan fiction and I thought it would have been a good-ish idea to name my first story after my user name since the story is going to be about Cloud and Tifa's Happy Ending anyway!

Okay, so I hope you'll like it!

Enjoy~


'It wasn't long since I made that wish. I wished that someone would come and help me forget about the pain, about all the burdens in my life... but.. its been a long time now and I was about to lose hope!... Nothing seemed right anymore, I was always in pain.. The doctor said it was only temporary, that the only reason why it was acting up on me was because of the sudden death of my mother.. and the fact that ever since then, my life was being dragged down to hell... Every piece of my heart was broken.. He said it was something called Geostigma. It wasn't Deadly, just a sudden feeling of pain whenever you remember your past..'

'okay, its been longer than I expected. Now, the hope I have left is down to ten percent.. I guess.. I should give up already.. I never did find any happiness in my life... but then.. there was him.. He gave me happiness.. or was that just temporary happiness?... who cares.. the memory was still beautiful.. beautiful, indeed..'

Flaskback...

Tifa was a 3rd year High school student in Teikoku Academy. She was well known in their Batch. Both Guys and Girls admired her in school. She was what you could call popular!.. It stung her every time she was given that title. She hated how everyone expected her to be perfect. 'Yeah, I live in a wealthy family and I'm what they call popular in school but that isn't a good enough reason for them to think I'm Perfect!' she had once told this to her friends. Ranting out to them. Her life was never Really Perfect. Only from the outside that is.. but from the inside, every corner of her heart was shattered.

'Lets look at the good things in my life now. Shall we?'

'My mother is dead, My dad Barely spends any time with me, I hate my Ex-Boyfriend, everyone expects me to be perfect, I don't know who to trust anymore...'

Tifa was walking to the train station all alone. People would pass by her and greet her time to time but she used the rest of the quiet walk to think about what she called The good things in her life.

"TIIIFAAA!" a voice echoed down the street.

'hmm... I could've sworn that sounded just like-'

"hey Tifa! I thought we were gonna go home together? Why din't you wait for me?" Yuffie was Panting once she reached Tifa. She sounded childish. Apparently she's been chasing after Tifa 'Oh that's right! I promised Yuffie we'd Go home at the same time!... I remember heading towards her classroom a while ago... how could I have forgotten about it?'

Yuffie was Tifa's Best friend. She knew that she could always trust her a 'hundred and one Percent sure!' She remembered telling Yuffie that once when they were young while holding out there pinkies. but ever since the day Tifa got shattered into a million pieces, she became more secretive, even towards here closest friends.

"Oh? Sorry Yuffie I umm... I was-"

"Teef, You know that I know that you are not good with lying"

Yuffie was annoyed. She has been Tifa's Friend for a long time now so she knew whenever she was at least trying to lie. They know every bit of Detail about each other after all.

"Ohhh, so you forgot again" Yuffie Let out a Big Sigh "Teef, you've been changing. are you feeling ok? you know, the best way to solve things is by talking about them" She tilted her head and gave Tifa a warm smile. Yuffie was an only child so she always looked up to Tifa like her sister. Well, both of them did. She was always caring towards Tifa especially at times like this when Tifa had many problems. Who else would look after her anyway? considering the fact that her Dad doesn't pay much attention to her anymore.

"Its nothing, Yuffie. Thanks for your concern. I guess I've just been very tired from school lately" Tifa Let out a fake smile. She knew it was too obvious yet she was just so confused and troubled that she couldn't do the right things anymore (or think right) She was always lost in her own fairytale.

"Well considering that you've been acting like that everyday since-"

"yeah I know... since my Mother died..." Tifa's face clouded up. "I guess maybe that is the reason..."

They were walking in silence towards the same train station most students used everyday going home. Only the sound of ruffling leaves and the chirping birds could be heard. They both din't know what to say or do. Mostly, one of them would crack out a joke to lighten up the atmosphere but Tifa was too down in the dumps to crack up a cheery joke and Yuffie was well aware of her friends situation knowing that it wouldn't be the perfect time for one.

"but past is past right?" Tifa tried coming up with the right words but she ended up giving an unsure tone to it.

"Right! and well... its not that you should forget about her, teef. its just that you need to at least accept the fact that she's in a better place now watching over you and your Dad" She smiled once again at Tifa. It gave her a cozy feeling. She was sure that wherever her mother was, its bound to be a better place than this.

"I know.. lets just forget about that conversation!" She tried thinking of another topic they could talk about just to let time pass by till they reach the train station.

"I heard there was a new Student in the 4th year high school, That rumors been buzzing lately and I still din't get it. I mean, he's just a new student right?"

"Oh yeah! I heard about that one too. They said he had a cold attitude but Aerith told me he was kind once you get to know him"

"and Aerith Got to know him already?.. oh yeah she's part of the Welcoming committee in school, right?"

Aerith was a 4th year high school student in Teikoku Academy. She was admired by many guys and envied by most girls. She always had a kind and caring smile that the teachers thought they ought to put her in the welcoming committee to make the new students feel comfortable, for a good first impression.

"I wonder how Zack feels about this" Yuffie was looking up at the Sky completely ignoring what Tifa had just said. It held a Red-ish orange shade. The sun was setting and Tifa couldn't help but look up as well.

"He probably knows, he's one of the most updated guys in school. Brings us back to the fact that he's probably bombarding Aerith with questions right-" Tifa was about to finish her sentence when Yuffie suddenly pointed her finger towards two people walking not far behind them

"look there they are!"

"Aerith, what's all this about you and the new kid?" a guy with Black hair was trying to keep up with Aerith. He suddenly Blocked her way. She was Startled by the sudden action.

"Zack! I told you there's nothing Going on between me and him. I'm Part of the welcoming committee I'm suppose to make new students feel welcomed and get to know them! its my Job remember!"

"so!.. how the hell am I suppose to be sure that you haven't been doing things behind my back? and being part of the welcoming committee adds up to the fact that you've been cheating on me already. I mean, you get to meet new people, new guys! and I'm not their to even supervise your conversation!" Zack started raising his voice. Aerith always hated that. It always made her bad side show up. but Zack was another case, so she lightened up at him. or at least I think she did.

"I didn't sign up for the welcoming committee, Okay? I was invited. and I would only talk to them and introduce them to the different school facilities that's all!"

"how am I suppose to know if you haven't accepted any dates from those guys!"

"None of them even asked me on a date!" suddenly Zack became quiet. His temper seemed to calm down.

"and if they even do, I would turn them down and tell you of course.."

"Oh... are you sure nothing happened between you two?" Zack was Eyeing Aerith. He was always Possessive. It mostly annoyed others, but Aerith on the other hand just found it cute.

"Zack, you know I wouldn't trade you for anyone else in the World" She embraced her boyfriend and gave him an assured smile. They stayed in their lovey-dovey moment for a while. It started to creep out Tifa and Yuffie.

"Umh... guys you do know me and Tifa are still here?" Yuffie hesitated to speak.

"Hey since when did you guys get here?" Zack was annoyed now, since they interrupted their cutsie-wotsie moment.

"hey don't get mad at us! you guys are the one's that displayed a disturbing scene in public!"

"You guys were the only two who saw it!"

"My Point Exactly! You guys ruined my whole childhood with your disturbing display of affection!"

"Yuffie, your not a child anymore! your 16 years old!"

"Like you would know!" Aerith and Tifa groaned. It would have been fine to see two six year olds fighting like this but they were teenagers and one of them was seventeen which made things worse.

"Your so immature!"

"Look who's Talking!"

"enough with the shouting!..." Tifa couldn't take it anymore. They started driving attention from the people that passed by them

"may I remind you we aren't in a private area" Zack and Yuffie almost forgot about that. They were always use to blabbering anytime they wanted to that they forgot what place they were even in.

"sorry..." Both of them looked down and pouted like little kittens. Tifa and Aerith couldn't help but laugh. Yuffie and Zack were just so ideal. It was funny and cute sometimes seeing them act so immaturely. Tifa gave them a smile that told them they were forgiven.

"anyway, what's this about a New guy in your batch?"

"Oh Tifa, you'll Love him! He's The new student in our batch that girls have been going gaga for!"

"I'll Love him?.." Aerith was always like a Big Sister to Tifa. She's just like Yuffie, she at least knows most details about her. The Important once that is..

"yeah yeah he's cool. I tried Chilling with him, he seems like the perfect guy for you Teef" This made Tifa confused at first. She din't get what they meant by 'you'll love him' and 'the perfect guy for you'

Realizing what they meant by that. She simply rolled her eyes. Aerith was always trying to find Tifa a new boyfriend. Ever since her dramatic break up with Reno, she's been hating at guys like how people hated on Justin Bieber. Everytime a guy tried flirting with her, she would always give them the cold shoulder and creepy glares.

"Like you would know, I haven't even met the guy nor have I even seen how he looks like" Tifa looked away at them before she suddenly turned back and gave them a threatening look.

"and just in case you have anymore plans on setting me up with a guy again I'll still give you the same answer, N-O" She never liked the idea of going on a blind date.

"having your friends hook you up with a guy is just plain old wrong. Its like your messing up with destiny, you know."

"Don't worry Teef, Cloud's a great guy. He may have an aloof attitude but I'm sure he'll lighten up once you get to know him" Aerith placed her hands on both sides of Tifa's shoulders and gave her a guaranteed look.

"and no, I din't set you up on a date with a guy... again.."

"and you have, Aerith?" She raised one eyebrow at her friend.

"huh?"

"you've got to know him already?"

"Well, No... but of course he's bound let go of that attitude of his to someone" The sky was now turning Deep Red. They got carried away in their own conversation that they din't notice it was getting late. It took a while for Tifa to reply.

"Maybe your right, Aerith. Anyways me and Yuffie need to get home, see you guys tomorrow!" They started running towards the Train station which was close ahead. Their friends started to disappear. The last thing they saw was two figures waving their hands back at them.

meanwhile...

"Hey here is an Empty Room" Tifa Hollered at Yuffie. They've been searching for an empty room at the train for a while now.

"You know, we could've just gotten the Room next to this which is closer to the exit" Yuffie Looked very tired. They were running after the train worried that it might have left them already.

"but there was a bag placed in the room, it must've been occupied already." She reasoned out with Yuffie who just simply rolled her eyes and smiled back at Tifa.

They continued inside the room of the train. It wasn't just like your normal trains though. It had a small hallway that had windows on the left side and rooms on the right. Each room was as big as one cubicle in an office it had at least two sofa's that was fit for three people each. The Sofa's would be facing each other. On the right would be one big window and the sliding door to the left.

"and I thought Tseng and Elena would be the occupiers.. they always sit there." Yuffie Looked back at the room beside them. It was still empty.

Tseng and Elena were lovers in school. They were Seniors and always acted Superior and Obnoxious towards lower graders or at least people with lower reputation.

"well I guess not today"

"If they are gonna ride the train, then the Person who took their seats will be in big trouble!" Yuffie fell back on the seat while she saw Tifa doing some of her homework. She started humming to a tune and swaying her legs back and fourth.

After moments of silence, Yuffie began to hear people talking outside their room it seemed more of an argument than a conversation since it seemed like people were raising their voices at each other. Tifa din't notice it so she continued with her work.

"hey Teef, I think theres an argument on going outside, Lets check it out"

"Wait no-" Before She could even Finish her Sentence, Yuffie Immediately Dragged her near the sliding door of the room making her drop her things. She tried opening it quietly not to draw any attention. Success!

"but I got the room first, its unfair for you guys to just take it!" Yuffie saw a Blonde Spiky Hair'd Guy. He had a serious face on.

"Figures Tseng ans Elena would try to get their seat back. Who knew it would've been from the new student!" Yuffie had said while one of her Eyes were peeking out the door. She was a natural eavesdropper. One of the bad qualities she just had to be good at.

"The New Student!" Tifa's Eyes Widened. Immediately, she pushed Yuffie aside making her fall backwards. Tifa was only attempting to peak through the slightly opened door. but instead of just peaking through the door, She accidentally pushed it. Making it Slide fully open while she fell frontwards. Now all eyes were on Tifa. 'this is karma for what I did to yuffie just a while ago, isnt it?..' She regret doing what she did simply because she had looked like a maniac who tried breaking out from jail.

'Im such an idiot!' Tifa scolded herself.

'Okay, I can't lose my cool here... at least not now..'

"Umh... whats going on here?" She tried to put a serious tone to it.

"These two Jerks told me that this room is always reserved for both of them" The Guy said. He had Ocean blue eyes and blonde spiky hair. 'What did he say? He looks very frustrated or at least he seemed like it... maybe irritated... something about jerks?... oh yah!' Tifa thought to herself. She almost forgot that she was in the middle of a fight. Yuffie was watching attentively taking a small peek from their room.

"What? How could you guys be such morons!" Tifa was looking at Tseng and Elena furiously

'he did say something bad about them right?... please oh please make the right words come out'

"I get how you guys enjoy acting superior toward the lower graders, but c'mon! he's a new student. Are you seriously trying to give a bad impression for our school? Stop thinking your the king and Queen of the school. Your no better than any loser out there!"

Tseng and Elena were left speechless leaving Blonde-guy here with wide open eyes. 'did I seriously just say that?' Tifa thought to herself in confusion. She knew she could rant to her friends like that about her life, but Rant or scold someone older than her like that?

'wait.. I can't get lost in my bubble again..'

"What? no answers? none?..." now she was the one with a superior tone.

"See, you guys are no better than anyone out here. you act so full of yourselves and create this invisible fear towards other that never really existed! How shameful" Tifa hoped she said the right words. She din't exactly know what she was doing. Words would just suddenly come out whenever she came across situations like this. 'Its just a Reflex action.' She had said the same thing as one of her excuses before.

"Umh.. Teef, I think you got carried away there" Yuffie herself was left speechless.

"Oh? well who could blame me, their Acting like idiots again! I mean-"

"Okay teef we get it. Now Lets just leave the idiots alone now" Yuffie Dragged Tifa back in the room

"but-"

She din't bother letting Tifa finish. Instead, She looked back one more time at the blonde hair'd guy and smiled at him.

"Why don't you sit with us for this trip?"

"Umh... sure" He din't know what else to say, still surprised from the sudden reaction of Tifa.

'It was a friendly offer' he thought to himself.

'and at least there are people caring for me, even if they are strangers...'

He followed Yuffie to the room they were occupying. The room wasn't any different from the others. In fact, they were all the same. he saw Tifa sitting by the window. She wasn't doing much, just looking out the window. It was quiet in the room. Everyone felt too awkward to speak. Now, they were just wondering who'd be the first one to break the silence.

"sorry if I exploded like that... its just a reflex action whenever I see people acting like a jerk towards others" There goes that line again.

Tifa thought she needed to be the first one to speak up. After all, She blamed herself for the awkward silence.

Trying to avoid eye contact, she continued looking out the window hoping someone would reply.

"but of course you wouldn't know how that would feel like" Tifa immediately looked at her friend who gave her a grin. They both smirked at each other. The Blonde Hair'd Guy was puzzled at first but he smiled afterwards.

"Oh c'mon Teef, no one would even try to do something like that to you because your-"

"Anyway! Whats your name? I mean, you haven't formally introduced yourself" Tifa wanted to change the subject. She knew where it was going and din't like how it made her feel uncomfortable.

"hmm?.. My name is Cloud. Cloud Strife" a Smile formed on Clouds face. It was a very unique smile, unique for Tifa, that is. The first glimpse of it Made Her Heart stop beating. Tifa's face started turning extreme Red 'Oh God! this is exactly what I was trying to avoid'

"and whats your name?"

"My name is-"

"My name's Yuffie Kisiragi! but just call me Yuffie" Yuffie ignored the fact that Tifa was still there and continued Chatting with Cloud. Asking him a lot of questions about himself. She had a thrilled look in her eyes. The same old look she has whenever she was interested in something or someone. Tifa on the Other hand had dozed of in her own world again. She was looking out the window. Lost in her own thoughts that she din't even notice Yuffie saying goodbye and leaving.

"Looks like this is my Stop, bye Tifa! bye Cloud! it was nice meeting you!" Yuffie quickly collected her things that were scattered around the sofa. in less than seconds, The room became silent again. It stayed that way for a while. Tifa of course din't notice anything since she was still lost in her own world. Darkness took over the sky and The only source of light they had was those from the street lamps they'd passed by.

"Its beautiful isn't it?"

"hmm?"

"Its beautiful admiring the view we pass by as the street light's glow brightly on the sidewalk..." Tifa thought about it for a second. She never really took the liberty of paying attention to the view and simply admiring its beauty.

Cloud noticed a smile was growing on her face. "Thinking about the beautiful things in life helps forget about your problems.." He smiled at her. Those words made things a bit more clear to her. He was right, she completely forgot about her problems. It was replaced by an unusual feeling. Something she hasn't felt in a long time.

They stared deeply into each others eyes. Neither of them noticed their faces were getting closer to each other. It was like they... were gonna... kiss!

Time stopped right in front of them. They were both mesmerized...

"Your eyes. I never really noticed they were red." He couldn't help but smile sweetly at her. It was a beautiful site. One that you couldn't take your eyes off of.

"mhmm.." She too was lost for words. She din't know what she should say. All she knew was that she couldn't stop staring at Clouds eyes. Looking at it made her feel like she was Dreaming.

'Like falling down the deepest trench in the sea. As you continue to sink deeper and deeper, you somehow see the sun over the water Shining. The vision of the blue sea blurs as your eyes slowly close. Darkness overtaking and suddenly... light!'

"Huh?.." Tifa Realized how close there faces were. Her Heart Started Beating Fast. She blinked twice.

Now both of them realized how close there faces were. Quickly, they turned away from each other.

Both of their faces turned into extreme colors of red. It took a while for them to calm down. Cloud finally Broke The Silence.

"Im sorry.." 'Why would he be sorry? He din't do anything wrong... right?'

"sorry?"

"sorry if I startled you like that" Tifa noticed his Ears were Red. He hasn't completely Faced her yet.

"Oh... its.. okay" She was hesitant to answer. finally The train stopped at a familiar view.

"I guess this is my stop... It was nice meeting you Cloud.." Tifa went out of the room. She was walking down the hallway of the train.

'What the hell just happened?... we were staring in each others eyes, thats what!.. It was like he was reading me through my eyes... could he possibly do that?... could he possibly... no, it couldn't be!' She was about to step off of the train.

"Wait!"

'that sounded like... wait no! It couldn't be! right?..' She forced herself to turn around, afraid to see who was calling her.

Surprised, Tifa saw Cloud panting near the Exit she was about to get out from.

"I never got your name..." His head was facing down while he held his knees taking deep breaths.

"what?" She was still in shock 'is he asking for my name?.. or am I just hallucinating '

"Your name.. you never told me your name" He looked up to see her. He smiled at her tenderly. Her Heart started beating faster.

'this is a dream.. Its not real. It couldn't be!... just wake up already!'

'wake up'

'wake up!...'

'WAKE UP!'

"Oh! My name.. my name is Tifa, Tifa lockhart" She bowed her Head. Her senses finally came back to her. 'why the hell am I bowing?' She couldn't help but blush after she bowed. It was too obvious.

'Gah! Im probably as red as a tomato now..'

Cloud smiled. He found it cute and heart-warming to see Tifa blush, whether she knew it or not.

" heh... I'll remember that. till the next time we meet" He Kissed her hand. and smiled at her once more before turning around and walking back to the room they were once in.

The train finally left. It was late 6PM, Tifa fell face down to the ground. Her things scattered on the concrete floor making an echoing sound.

She was all alone.

'what was that all about... could he possibly be the guy I was wishing for... no.. that's not possible.. its impossible! He's one year older than me for petes sake. He couldn't possibly feel anything for me... and I can't possibly feel anything for him!... but then.. why do I feel this way?...'

The sky turned deep blue. It made her remember Clouds eyes. 'they were blue, ocean blue' She smiled to herself remaining in that position for a while thinking she would collapse. Her legs were shaking as she tried to stand up on her two feet again. She started collecting her things noticing that something was missing.

'Oh no! where's my diary?'
