"Tifa Tifa Tifa!Guess what"Yelled Yuffie,the young ninja
"Huh?Hmmm... i don't know what is it?"said Tifa
"uhh...I just forgot..hehe"Said the young ninja with embarrasment
Tifa put her hand over her mouth to hide her giggles
"ahhh...Tifa,Yuffie...Look at the flower i just picked"said Aeris
"It's a...rose?"said Yuffie in confusement
"A pretty one"said Tifa with a smile
The three girls shared a smile
"I think i'm going to give it to Cloud"said Aeris with a soft smile on her face
"erk...Tifa?"said Yuffie in a uncertain voice
"C...Cloud?"Asked Tifa
"uh huh!He's a nice guy you know"Answered Aeris
"Hey what about Vincent?He's kinda...cute"Said Yuffie in a shy voice
The young ninja's crush for Vincent Valentine was obvious while Tifa's crush for the ex-SOLIDIER,Cloud,was only visible to Yuffie
"He's uh...a nice guy"said Aeris
Just then the girls conversation was interrupted by a man with a cigar in his mouth
"Yo!What ya girls doing?"asked Cid
"Hi Cid!"said Aeris cheerfully
"Talking about stuff"Replied Yuffie
"Hey Cid didn't i tell you not to smoke in my bar"Said Tifa
"Sorry sorry i couldn't help it"Said Cid
Aeris and Yuffie laughed
"fine fine just this once"Said Tifa
Just then Barret walked in with Marlene and Denzel both
"Tifa Tifa!"The two little kids yelled running to embrace the beautiful maiden
"Hey guys...How you been?"Said Tifa hugging Marlene and Denzel
"Barret took us out to the market today!It was fun"Said Denzel
"Yeah Yeah he bought me this dolly"Said Marlene
"Haha that's good!but why are you guys all here?"asked Tifa
"Well we came to deliver this cake,You know let's just party"said Barret
"Cake?Party?"said Aeris and Yuffie in confusement
"Yo call Vincent and Cloud to come get some!"Said Cid
"Fine Fine"Said Yuffie "I have Vince on Speed dial"
"I'll call Cloud"Said Tifa
"No...Tifa..I'll call him"Said Aeris taking out her phone
"huh?o..okay i guess"said Tifa
It took 15 minutes for the two guys to arrive
"Hey i heard there was some cake"Said Cloud
"Cloud"Said Aeris and Tifa
"Hey you two..."said Cloud"You look nice today Aeris"
"hehe...Thanks you look nice too!i.. um have a gift for you"Said Aeris with a blush on her face handing Cloud the rose
"Hey thanks Aeris"said Cloud giving her a kiss on the cheek
Tifa looked in shock and turned away
"Hey Tifa where you going?Don't you wanna hang out?"Said Cloud ruffling her hair
"...Fine"Said Tifa with a small blush
"Hey where's the Vincent at?"asked Cid
"Outside doing something"replied Cloud hugging Marlene and Denzel
Just then Vincent walked in
"Vinny!You actually came!"Said Yuffie going to hug the tall mysterious man
"Yeah.."Said Vincent returning her embrace so he wouldn't be mean
"Vincent!"said Marlene hugging Vincent
"Hey"Said Vincent with a slight grin
"oh shit...did he just smile now"Said Cid in amazemnt
"Hey Vincent have some cake"Said Barret who also ws a bit stunned
"Cloud it really has been a while hasn't it"said Aeris since the ex-SOLDIER had been away doing some business along with Vincent
"It has hasn't it"Said Cloud with a smile
"Yo Barret,what you get at the market today"Asked Cid
"nothing much just some things for the kids"replied Barret smiling at Denzel and Marlene
Marlene and Denzel where the light of Barret's life
Then Marlene was talking to Denzel
"Wait Denzel that was my strawberry"Yelled Marlene
"Huh?Sorry here let's split it!"said Denzel with a smile on his face
"Vincent!well..."said Yuffie twilring her fingers around"How you been?"
"...Fine"Said Vincent in his short answers as always
"hmpf...Can't you say something with more than one word?"Said Yuffie in a sarcastic voice
Vincent just stared at her with his deep crimson eyes
"heheehe it was.. a joke"said Yuffie a bit scared
Tifa just sat on stool looking at everyone's happy face then her attention was caught by Cloud and Aeris happily laughing and holding hands
Tifa looked as though she was ready to break down then she walked upstairs
"Hey Tifa where you going?"Asked Yuffie
"To bed"said Tifa in dismay
"why?it's so early"asked Yuffie
Tifa's eyes trailed over to Cloud and Aeris and Yuffie followed it
"oh...Don't worry!He's your best friend and will always be there for you!"said Yuffie with a cheesy grin that made Tifa happy and smile
"thanks Yuffie"said Tifa
"Your welcome now come hang out with me and Vince"Said Yuffie
Tifa smiled and nodded
"Hey Vincent"said Tifa
Vincent didn't say anything but then whispered"Hey Tifa"
"Hey you said Two words!"Yelled Yuffie
Tifa giggled
The gang hung out until it was late at night
"Geez it's late"Said Barret
"Yeah but we ain't gonna get home in this hellish weather"Said Cid
"You guys can all sleep here i have enough rooms"Said Tifa
"Hey thanks Tifa...Always so dependable"said Cloud patting her head
"Let's share a room Cloud"said Aeris
"huh?s..sure"said Cloud as his face turned red
Tifa had grasped a glass of water tight
"h...hey now Tifa don't let that get you!Remember Aeris is our friend"Said Yuffie
"Hey guys imma get these kids to bed and after that i'm going to hit the sack as well"said Barret
"i'll go help the man"said Cid
"Let's go Cloud i have a lot of things to tell you"Said Aeris giving Cloud a small peck on the cheek
Vincent sat on the couch quietly reading a book,Yuffie looking at Tifa with scared eyes while Tifa grasped onto the glass cup so hard it broke
"o..ouch..."said Tifa looking at her hand that was leaking into a blood puddle
"See i told you to hold it in"said Yuffie getting the first aid kit
"Tifa are you okay?"asked Aeris and Tifa nodded
"Teef!Why did you do that?"Asked Cloud
Tifa just looked away
"Tifa...I can't find the first aid kit!"yelled Yuffie in a shaky tone
Just then a shadow same over them
"Vincent?"said Cloud
They all looked at him
"Gimme your hand"Said Vincent and Tifa did as she was told
Vincent pulled a badaging wrap and wrapped her hand gently
"WOWWEE!Vince you are so prepared"Said Yuffie in excitement
"That's true"Said Cloud and Aeris with a smile
"Thanks...I'm sorry guys"Said Tifa "Go to sleep i'll clean up my mess"
"but Tifa"Said Aeris and Yuffie
"Just GO!"Said Tifa
Cloud Aeris and Yuffie all nodded Everyone but Tifa went to bed
Tifa carefully sweeped up the glass and threw it away
"Damn...how can i let something so stupid get the best of me?"said Tifa
"You promised...din't you?You said you would protect me..."said Tifa as tears started running down her face
She went to the couch and slowly remember the time Cloud had promised her that and started crying again until she fell asleep
Just then a person who was tall came downstairs and slowly ran their fingers though Tifa's beautiful soft brown hair
They put a blanket over her and left back to the room
