Final Fantasy

A Song of Memories

Prologue

The world is safe now; it's been a year since Vincent Valentine saved the world. Everybody went back to their normal lives. Tifa still works at Tifa's Seventh Heaven, Cloud still travels on his motorbike, Denzel and Marlene began their teenage year, Yuffie is now living in her hometown, and Vincent is now sitting in front of Lucrecia's crystal.

Meanwhile, in the lifestream. Aerith is now walking through peacefully and looking other people enjoying themselves in the lifestream as if they are still alive in the planet. Aerith is sometimes wonders about Cloud and how much she misses him. She wished she could be there with him. She only meets Cloud during Cloud's dreams or if Cloud is in trouble. Suddenly, somebody came by that looked like Cloud. However, He is spikey black-haired SOLDIER. It's her former boyfriend Zack.

"Hey Aerith, how's it going?" questioned Zack.

"Everything's fine Zack." Aerith replied.

"You seemed kinda dreamy Aerith." Zack wondered. "Are you thinking about Cloud?"

Aerith's face suddenly became red. "What do you mean I'm thinking about Cloud?" Aerith questioned with embarrassment.

"Then who else except Cloud?" Zack laughed.

Aerith nodded and scratched her head to find an answer. "I guess you caught me Zack."

"Aerith, I knew that you are thinking about cloud ever since you step foot into the lifestream, am I right?" Suddenly, Zack looked Aerith's eyes closely for seconds.

Aerith smiled a bit as if she wants to laugh and she pushed Zack's chest "Stop it!"

Zack and Aerith laughed

"Well, I have to head back to check everyone." Said Aerith.

"Well go then, take your time." Said Zack pretending to be upset.

"Don't be so upset." Said Aerith. "You know I'm always here with you anytime."

"I guess you're right." Said Zack. "Well then, off you go!"

Aerith leaves Zack behind and she kept walking through the lifestream. Then suddenly, she heard a voice. A voice whispered through her ears. A mysterious voice is calling her name. "Aerith….Aerith….come" Aerith wondered who could that be. It was actually a woman's voice calling her but she doesn't seemed to recognized it. "Aerith…..follow me" Aerith followed the voice as she continuously calling her. She walked more than 10 minutes and she couldn't her identity. Suddenly, she saw a dark clouds approaching to her. Aerith is a bit frightened. The black clouds went through her, Aerith saw nothing but darkness.

"What is going on?" Aerith questioned. "What's happening?"

"Zack…..Zack, Where are you?"

"Please save me…..CLOUD!"
