-The Question-
Vincent looked around at his traveling companions. None of them were happy. Today, a sweet woman had been cut down by a luantic. This left Vincent with one burning question.
"Why is she dead?" The others looked at him like he was a complete idiot.
"Because Sephiroth killed her, duh," Yuffie stated rolling her eyes.
"No, I mean, why is she not alive?"
Cid glared at him. "Are you retarded or somethin'? Sephiroth freakin' killed her!"
Clearly Vincent wasn't getting his point across. "Let me try again." He faced Cloud. "Why did you let her die?"
Cloud's bottom lip trembled and fresh tears formed in his eyes. Tifa came to his rescue. "Vincent that's not fair! How was Cloud supposed to stop Sephiroth?"
Dear planet, these people were dense. "I don't know, maybe cast stop. Maybe, and here's a truly mind-blowing idea, when he stopped playing puppet, he could have cured her with that fancy materia he refuses to share."
Cloud looked confused. "Then, what would be the purpose of her sacrafice?"
"There would have been no need for her sacrafice!"
Barret showed his intelligence. "Then Cloud didn't need to heal her."
Oh. My. God. Vincent blinked. These are the people trying to save the planet?
"Guess what?" They leaned forward expectantly. "I died once." An echo of 'no's. "Yes. And guess what? My arch nemesis brought me back to life! So why did Aeris die?"
They just looked at him, like he was a raving lunatic. Nanki scratched behind his ear. "Why didn't you heal her?"
Vincent almost choked. "I wasn't there! Cloud took Tifa and Barret!"
"Oh." Nanaki looked at Cloud. "Why did you let her die?"
Thsi time the tears did fall and the whole argument started over. Vincent's eye twitched and he was certain that the planet was doomed.
Cait, pulled his marshmellow on a stick from the fire. "Who wants smores?"
-The End-
My first thought when she died was, 'Why didn't they just use the materia and cure her?' So, here ya go. I'm sure I wasn't the only that thought this. Please review.
