CLOUD- noun. A visible mass of condensed water vapour floating in the atmosphere, typically high above the ground.


"That cloud one looks like a bird"

"No, it looks like a dog."

"I think I know how a bird looks like Denzel."

"It's obviously a dog Marlene. I mean look at it. There are the ears and its snout."

"Hey Cloud, it's a bird right? and not a dog."

"I don't know."

"Aww come on Cloud!"

It was a boring and warm day, and Cloud, Denzel and Marlene were lying on a mat that was spread out on wooden floor of Aerith's Church, looking at the clouds that would pass by from the hole in the roof. Tifa smiled at the three as she continued her daily check up on Aerith's flowers, since the flower girl and her SOLDIER boyfriend Zack were out on a one week vacation. Tifa sighed and started to water a few of the yellow lilies. Once she finished, she checked the soil and the overall look of the plants. "Well, they all seem very healthy, that's Aerith to you." She said to herself as she wiped her hands clean.

"It was a dog, Marlene." Denzel argued. "I didn't see any wings on it."

"No it was a bird." Marlene said firmly.

Tifa let out a small laugh "You guys are still arguing about that?"

"Because Denzel insists the cloud was a dog when it was really a bird."

"But it was a dog!"

Tifa hummed, and looked at the soft white masses floating above them. "Hey look! That one looks like Cloud!" She pointed at a small puff of white that formed the ex-SOILDER's signature spiky hair. "Huh, a cloud that looks like Cloud, you don't see that every day."

"Hey it does look like Cloud!" Marlene laughed "I can see his hair!"

"My hair doesn't look like that." Cloud grunted, his expression almost pouting.

"But it does!" Tifa kneeled beside him and started rubbing his blond spikes. "Look it even stands back up!" Cloud grunted again pushing Tifa's hand away.

Denzel and Marlene laughed "No wonder everyone calls you Chocobo head." They said in unison.

Cloud fell silent and gave them a playful smirk. "You two should start running." Both kids laughed and sprinted away.

Tifa shook her head, fits of laughter still escaping her mouth. "You're so mean Cloud."

His smirk grew wider, eventually forming a full smile. He stood up and rested an arm on her back. "Look." He pointed to the sky. "That cloud looks like your boobs." He laughed and ran away, leaving Tifa to register what he just said.

"CLOUD STRIFE YOU GET BACK HERE!"
