Final Fantasy VII Story

For the people who I call my 'friends' and for those that always give me a smile who I shall never forget.

Rain pattered upon the roof of the vehicle, creating a negative atmosphere inside. The passengers were gathered around in rows, perching on the wooden benches at either end. These passengers were travelling towards Midgar.
Most of the passengers weren't exactly dressed for the road, but had their minds focused on something to get them through the journey.
The vehicle was at a constant speed and didn't seem to be getting any slower; or faster for that matter. One middle-aged lady had closed her eyes and was in the foetal position. Clearly she didn't agree on the speed the vehicle was going. The roads were saturated and every turn the vehicle made, she gave a cry of shock as her body jerked suddenly.
One man, sat right in the corner on his own, lightly, but also silently, laughed. The fact that some of the passengers were fearful for their own safety because of the weather amused him.
This vehicle was sturdy; sturdy enough that it would hold through any weather. Most people knew this, of course, but obviously she did not. A sudden jerk of the vehicle sent the tyres screeching in disapproval.
The woman opposite the amused man jerked in her seat, but was quite secure, thanks to the mass of people around her. This journey to Midgar was going to be a long one, following a road with several-dozen jerks.
As the man silently chuckled at her once more, the woman looked up in alarm. She looked directly at him, only then did he stop.
"Are you laughing at me?" there was no need to be polite if this was the case. The man stared at the woman with his light-blue eyes, mesmerising her, instantly.
"I thought you knew about these vehicles, being your age." His voice was deep as an average man's, and went well with his figure. The woman's cheeks turned scarlet.
"What's so good about them?"
"It's quite funny how you're jerking like that." He said. The rest of the passengers remained silent.
"Excuse me, I have asked you a simple question." She said.
"Yes, you have." Cloud replied.
"Then can you please answer it?"
"That's another question." The woman was being wound up and she knew it. She muttered a curse under her breath and returned to her previous position.
The man chuckled at this, his spiky, blonde hair gently moving with the motion from his body. What was a long journey without a little fun? Thinking so much through for so long had been quite a task for him.
Now it was all back to normal, he didn't quite want to think long and hard about so much, again. Before this long journey, he had visited past places and vanquished certain enemies. People were saved and were very grateful. They all wanted to repay him, somehow, but he had refused all their offers. Instead, he asked if someone could take him back to Midgar to save himself a tedious journey.
Everyone agreed instantly and led him towards this vehicle which other people were also boarding. They had been travelling for such a long time now, that he had thought they would, at least, stop and have a rest somewhere, but the vehicle was showing no signs of slowing down. Sighing deeply, the man shifted on the bench as his rear began to ache.
This was going to be a very long journey, and by the looks of it, one without rests.
