A/N #2: Details I should mention: Aeris is still alive. Cloud and Aeris are married, and they have a child named Theresa. And I guess right now I'm calling this the sequel series to my 'A Cloud and Aeris Romance' series.

Theresa sighed as she twirled her hair around a finger and flipped through a fan girl magazine. Not in the mood for reading, she closed it and rolled over onto her back. Words from her earlier fight with her parents came back to her, much to her dismay.

Flashback
^*^*^*^*^
"But Mom, why can't I go?" she had whined.
"Because your father and I don't think it's safe."
Shed turned to her father, hoping he'd take her side. "Dad, I am 17 after all. You can trust me."
Cloud was silent as he thought his answer over. He wasn't fast enough. Aeris spoke up first.
"It's not that we don't trust you Theresa, it's just that the world is a dangerous place. Your father and I would know."
"Then why is it okay for you two to go out and slay monsters while I'm stuck in here?!"
Aeris' reply was cool and sharp. "Because your father and I had no choice back then. If we didn't save the Planet, then the whole world would eventually be annihilated. You wouldn't even be born."
"That's not fair!"
"Yes it is. You can not go, and that's final." Aeris put her hands on her hips.
Without thinking, she'd shouted back, "I hate you Mother! I wish you were dead!" Then she'd spun around, and ran up to her room, crying.

End of Flashback

'I wish I'd never said that. She probably hates me. Father too. What do I do now?'
It was a long while before Theresa came up with her answer.

Downstairs.....
Aeris was crying in the arms of her husband, who was trying desperately to soothe her.
"Aeris, Aeris, stop crying. She didn't mean what she said," said Cloud.
"But what if she did?!" wailed Aeris. "She hates me. I'm such a bad mother!!" Aeris broke down again as words failed her.
Cloud said nothing as he tried to get his wife to stop crying. Finally, he spoke.
"Aeris we can go talk to her in the morning. Right now we'd better get some sleep."
Aeris stopped crying. "Alright. Just let me lock the house up first." She got up.
Cloud nodded. "Alright."

Upstairs.....
Theresa finished throwing some stuff into her suitcase. She was just closing it when she heard her parents come upstairs. Quickly she stuffed her pillow and some blankets under her covers so it would look like she was sleeping. Then she hid in her closet. To her immense relief, her parents didn't come into her room. When she heard them go into their room, she stepped out. Theresa looked around her room for the last time, then climbed out her window, climbed down the gutter pipe, and ran down the road, heading for the downtown area of Midgar.
'Luke will help me,' she thought. 'He has to.'

Later on that night.....
Aeris opened to the door to her daughter's room.
"Theresa?" she called. "Are you awake?" There was silence. Aeris' sudden screams brought Cloud racing down the hall to Theresa' room.
"What's wrong?" he asked, panting slightly.
Aeris spun around to face him, tears pouring down her face. "She's gone!" she screamed.
