Chapter 1: The news

It was the normal Saturday morning and Tifa was usually cleaning the bar. Cloud was on special deliveries in Gongaga to Cosmo Canyon, he said it had something to do with the President of Shinra, Rufus.

Creak!

The front door had opened letting no one but the chocobo-head which Tifa came to love, well that's what she thought. "Tifa?" It was Cloud! "Tifa I have someone special I'd like you to meet… Hello?!"

"I'm coming! Geez hold your choco… bos" although she wasn't talking to Cloud, it was the oddly familiar person in front of him. He had Mako blue eyes and ebony black hair, he had a buster sword tied to his back. The two locked eyes except one pair of those eyes were tearing up. Oh my gosh, its him, its… Zack, she thought, no why are you crying Tifa, get a hold of yourself!

"Zack?" Cloud had never heard her voice like this, it sounded… much more depressed and unusually happy at once.

"The one and only! I missed you," he replied.

Tifa scanned him to make sure he was real. Moments later, she came running to him, crying. Cloud felt nothing but utter jealousy with a hint of betrayal. My best friends hugging without a care in the world, what's wrong with you Zack, you can't just take another mans girl! Oh wait she isn't, he thought.

"Ok guys break it up!" he bellowed, two pairs of eyes staring at him in confusion. "Oops did I say that out loud?"

"Mmhmm pretty much"

"Oh Zack I missed you and when I heard you were dead I didn't know what and – and… I'm sorry!" she cried on his shoulder, hugging him.

Cloud gave him a death glare telling him to back off, replying with another glare saying "you stole my girl first!"

It's on Zack, he thought, IT IS ON! His thoughts were so loud Aerith was shaking her head in the lifestream, oh Zack what have you gotten yourself into.

So what do you think? My first fic no flames please! I'll try to continue every 2 weeks!
