Birthday Dream
By Noelle Strife
For my brother, Cloud. Happy Birthday. From your sister, Noelle.
Cloud woke up from one of his confusing dreams.
It wasn't anything serious. He's just there, lying on the hill, gazing at the blue sky which is dotted with clouds. Then all of a sudden, he heard his friends call out to him, each one of them greeted them a happy birthday as they started to ascend the hill.
"Cloud..! Happy birthday!" Tifa yelled first, trying her very best to reach him.
"Hey yo foo! You didn't tell me you have a birthday today!" Barret grinned at Cloud.
"That's me boy Cloud! You're the chipper of the ol' block!" Cait Sith is falling behind because he can't really seem to go up without his moogle.
"Happy Birthday, Cloud. Grandpa said you'll be really lucky this year, which I can doubt about it!" Red XII smiled as walked towards Cloud.
"Cloudy! Happy Birthday! You're soo old now!" Yuffie shouted, running towards him with a big grin on her face.
"Yo, numbskull! You owe me my Bronco..!" Cid cursed wildly, lighting up a cigarette and placing it by his ear to smoke later.
"…Happy Birthday, Cloud. Lucrecia sends her gratitude for saving the planet." Vincent appeared from below before he started to go towards him.
Cloud smiled. It's been a while since he had a proper 'Happy Birthday' greeting. He wondered how many years is it.
"Seven years, okay bro? You're used to making it five." A familiar voice said to him. His friends are still below the hill, trying their best to get to him. Cloud turned around to see his two deceased friends, Zack and Aeris. They are holding hands and they are smiling.
"Happy Birthday, Cloud. Me and Tifa were planning to make a cake for you, but…" Aeris started, but her smile remained. The blonde haired young man just nodded.
"It's okay. I'm glad that I could be with my all of friends once again." Cloud smiled softly.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLOUD! :D Thank you for reading, oh and please review. It's been a while since I made a story. XD
