So here we go with another FF7 fanfic. Now I've got an idea for future chapters, but I'm not sure where to go with it. More info at the end of the chapter.

"Time and a place, guys!" I shouted to the blonde and brunette as they made out on the couch.

"Seriously, Cloud," my dark-haired friend agreed with me, "why can't you do that behind closed doors?"

The blonde, Cloud, broke off the kiss with his girlfriend and smirked at us. "Is that an order, Zack?" he leered at us.

"Man, will you stop that? You're like a freaking horny teenager," I ridiculed him.

"Don't I know it!" Cloud's girlfriend, Aerith, said from under him.

"Ew, ew, ew, don't need to know!" Zack shouted. This made Cloud and Aerith giggle cheekily and start making out again.

It was then that Tifa and Yuffie walked into the room. Oh boy, I thought, here we go.

See, everybody except Cloud and Aerith were painfully aware of one thing: Tifa has had the hots for Cloud since…well, forever. They grew up together in Nibelheim, they moved here to Midgar at exactly the same time. She ignored the beautiful, if slightly creepy, proposals that were made by her own personal stalker Johnny because she was pining after Cloud. It was sweet, but at the same time, kinda weird.

"I'm closing up, guys," Tifa said to all of us, successfully hiding the pain she felt at Cloud's relationship with Aerith. "You're welcome to help, though."

"We'd just be in the way," Aerith apologised. "We'll just go."

"Yeah, that's just an excuse for you guys to make out some more," Yuffie accused.

"You got us," Cloud sighed melodramatically, his hands up in mock surrender.

I rolled my eyes. It was disgusting, the way they carried on.

Now let me make one thing clear right now. It's not that I don't like Cloud and Aerith. Cloud's a nice guy under all that bravado, and Aerith's as sweet as they come…most of the time. All it is is that I notice what it does to Tifa. It tears her up inside. And I'm her friend. Friends look after each other.

**GREEN**

Now we were sitting at the bar, our cleaning all done. It was me, Tifa, Zack and Yuffie. The topic was, as usual, Cloud and Aerith.

Yuffie was blabbing something about there being nothing wrong with PDA's ("public displays of affection", she'd clarified), but that our two friends took it to extremes. Zack was listening intently. I was ignoring her completely and staring into space.

"Say, Luke," Tifa's voice broke me out of my trance.

"Huh?" I looked at her. "What's up?"

"I've got an idea."

"Whoa!" I hammered Zack's shoulder, which made both him and Yuffie look at me. "Hold the phone, guys, Tifa's got an idea!"

"No way!" Yuffie said mockingly. "Tell us, Boobs!"

"Yeah, spill!" Zack agreed.

"Guys! she admonished us, but she was laughing. "I'm serious."

"Oh," I said in a mock disappointed voice. "Okay then, spill."

"You guys know how much I like Cloud right?"

"Duh!" all three of us said.

"Well, I heard the best way to catch a guy's attention is to make him jealous."

"Where'd you hear that, one of Yuffie's stupid girly magazines?" Zack teased.

"Hey!" Yuffie shouted, smacking him on the arm. "They are not stupid!"

"Guys!" I shouted at them. "Focus!"

That shut them up.

"Go on, Tifa."

"So I thought it might be a good idea if I pretended that either Zack or Luke was my boyfriend."

I had a drink of water to my lips at the time, so when she said my name, I instantly sprayed water all over the place. "Sorry," I apologised.

"You what?" Zack asked, disbelieving.

"You heard her," Yuffie replied, grinning. "One of you lucky boys gets to be Tifa's main squeeze!"

"Though not really," I corrected her.

"Well I can't," Zack said immediately. I scoffed. I knew why. He wanted Aerith, and he was Cloud's best friend. He was scared that if he made a move on Tifa, even a fake move, one of them would rip his balls off.

"Well, since Zack's too much of a pussy to do it, then…" I trailed off. Everyone was looking at me expectantly. Then I realised.

Shit.

"Hey there, boyfriend," Tifa said in a fake sweet voice, leaning into me.

I said nothing. I just sat there, bolt upright.

This will not end well.

So here's my idea. Zack, Cloud and my OC, Luke, are part of a small band. Cloud plays piano and sings, Zack plays acoustic/bass/electric guitar and sings, while Luke just sings. I'm thinking about giving them a gig to further Tifa's plans, but the band's not complete. I have two ideas about this:

1) Bring in Reno on electric guitar and Rude on drums and call the band "the Turks"

2) Bring in Angeal on drums and Genesis on electric guitar and call the band "SOLDIER"

What do you guys think? Let me know through REVIEWS, or just PM me.

Thanks!
