It is raining on the city Midgar. Cloud is standing outside of the city which once took precious mako from the planet. The rain is falling abundant and freely from the sky.
Cloud stands in front of the blade that once belonged to Zack. Memories come back to when he was still alive.
Flashback
"Cloud are you alright?"
"Were friends… for sure."
"Cloud, Get out of here!"
End flashback
Cloud opens his eyes to look at the sword of his friend with rain freely running down it.
Cloud looks down at himself and looks at his left arm which the Genostatia used to be.
"Did I really destroy him…Is he finally gone for good?"
Flashback
" Kneel down, and show me the sight of you begging for Mercy!"
"What is most important to you? It will give me happiness by taking it away from you!"
"I will not become just a mere memory."
End flashback
Cloud opens his eyes again and sighs pushing away the memories that still somehow haunt him. Cloud looks back to his bike the FENRIR and gets on it wit the rain still falling on its metal exterior and leather seat. Cloud wipes one of his bangs out of his eyes, the little drops of rain falling from it.
"I guess I should go see her."
Cloud turns the key on his bike and drives off to Midgar towards the bar where Tifa lives.
Cloud reaches Tifa's house with the same sign that still there. "Some things don't change." Cloud walks up to the door and raises a hand to it. Cloud stops in hesitation for a few minutes. "Why am I stopping, am I afraid that she wont accept me"
Cloud snaps back to reality when he hears a familiar voice behind the door. The door opens to see Tifa standing in front of Cloud, motionless and speechless. Cloud opens his mouth but cant say the words he wants to. "You still haven't changed have you?"
Cloud looks at Tifa as a small smile shows up on his face.
"I guess not." Cloud scratches the back of his head in embarrassment.
Tifa giggles a little. "Well then come on in, we don't want you getting a cold."
Cloud steps inside the warm building still damp from the rain he stayed so long in. Cloud looked around the building that his eyes could see. "Some things still don't change." Cloud chuckled to himself a little. "I guess not, like some people I know, now go get changed out of those wet clothes your making a mess on the floor I just cleaned."
Cloud looked down at the floor that his boots left. "Sorry Tifa." Tifa shook her head and pointed upstairs to the room he used often when he came here. Cloud got into the room and looked around still noticing the same things around, this made it easier to find the clothes he needed to change into.
"These clothes get so annoying sometimes." Cloud struggling to get the armor and heavy equipment off of his body. After that was taken care of he pulled off his shirt,Cloud grabbed a dry towel to dry his chest of with and took off the rest of his clothes only to his boxers, which surprisingly weren't wet do to his thick clothes. "Now what to wear?" Cloud opened up the drawer to see the pink Chocobo and Mog T-shirt that Tifa bought him at Gold Saucer. This made cloud laugh a little. Cloud found a clean V-neck T-shirt with gray bars at the sleeve and collar and a pair of gray sweats that matched with what he wore.
"There im all set."
Cloud looked around to find a place to hang his wet clothes and decided to put his wet clothes over the heater to dry faster and put the attached armor in a seprate area. Then Cloud put his sword on the wall with hooks on it.Cloud slips on a pair of shoes. Cloud reaches for the doorknob and opens the door to see Tifa looking up at him with a smile on her face. "You take a long time to change. Its good to see you in something different." Tifa walkes down the staires with her Raven black hair swaying with every step she took. She quickly stopped and turned to Cloud. "We have some friends over."
Cloud had a curious look on his face when he heard this. "Who's over?" Tifa looked at him as a clue to guess. Cloud stepped down the staires to hear a familiar loudmouth in the kitchen. Cloud steps into the kitchen and notices another familier person with a claw arm. Yuffie turnes around to where Cloud is standing and drops all the food she was holding and runs to Cloud and gives him a hug and Vincent stands there watching with a small smile on his face. "Well you finally show up after all this time, where have you been?" Yuffie pulles away and punches Cloud in the arm greetingly. "Around. You guys look well." Yuffie's hair has grown to her sholders and is wearing jeans with a tang top and the same head band she wore. Vincent wore black jeans with a black shirt and vest. Yuffie raises her head high in the air and her hands on her hips.
"A great ninja like myself has always gotta be in great shape, or i will never stay my cute self." Cloud does a small laugh and Vincent smiles. "What about you Vincent, have you been well?" Vincent looks at Cloud. "Yes. Traveling, slaying monsters, seeing old friends again." Cloud noticed that vincent talked a little more,but still has that cool mysterious attitiude. It suited him. "Yuffie!" Cloud and the others look at Tifa who is stairing at the mess that Yuffie did with the food. "Can you please clean up after yourself." Yuffie quickly runs to where Tifa is and tries to help clean up the mess. "Sorry Tif'."
Cloud looks to Vincent. "So you guys are just passing by?" Vincent shakes his head and responds. "We are actually staying a day. Tifa wouldnt take no for an answer. I guess she doesnt want us to overdue it." More crashes take place in the kitchen because of Yuffies clumsyness. Cloud shakes his head and laughs. "Looks like this is going to be a long night."
