"If I don't make it out, tell everyone, I love them... especially De- Den-." The pale woman coughed and breathed deeply, haggardly.
"Shh. Don't talk like that! You'll wake up tomorrow with a new heart, and everything will be great, you'll see!" Her younger friend said.
-
"Cloud, did you make sure to take Red out?"
The blonde chuckled and went up behind his wife, wrapping his arms around her. "Yes, he made it very clear to me about his needs to relieve himself."
The brunette turned around and smiled widely at her husband, her green eyes gleaming into his bright blue ones. She nervously bit her lip.
"Do you think I'll do good?"
He smiled gently and twirled her hair around his finger. "You're going to do great, I promise."
She smiled reassured and went on to brush her hair and put on her pink dress. She was giving a speech about needing to rebuild the Orphanage, to have it built bigger, so that more of the homeless children would have a place to be raised properly.

"I'm very sorry, but we still haven't found any donors for her." Dr. Shalua informed the group sitting in the waiting room.
The youngest, loudest, of the adults stood up and faced her "family".
"She'll be fine. I know she will!" Her husband sighed and ran a hand through his fire colored locks. She sighed diligently and faced the gloomy group. "I know she will. Just watch."

"Goodness, I was so nervous. How did I do?" The 26 year old asked, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. He smiled at her and walked her to the dance floor.
"You were amazing." He danced slowly, causing her smile to widen slightly.
Return to me
Oh my dear I am so lonely
Hurry back, hurry back
Oh my love hurry back
I am yours
"You don't need to kiss up Strife." She giggled. He twirled her before kissing her forehead.
"You're always amazing."
She raised a brow and smirked. "Are you flirting with me?"
Return to me
For my heart wants you only
Hurry home, hurry home
Won't you please hurry home
To my heart
"Maybe."

Ring. Ring. Ring.
The two gruff men looked up from filling their orders and turned their vision toward the phone. The larger one ran toward it and picked it up.
"You've got one don't ya? You found a heart!?"
Dr. Shalua's voice entered through the phone and the other man fought to put his ear to the receiver so he could hear.
"Damnit what's she sayin'?"
"Shut your mouth foo! I'm tryin' ta hear!"
Hanging up the phone with his gun arm, he turned to the blonde next to him grinning. "They found a heart. Call Yuffie and Reno up, let 'em know what's goin' down, and tell 'em I'm at the Hospital."
"Now wait a second Barret, I'm goin' with ya." With that the man walked out of the kitchen and into the Bar/Restaurant.
"Alright! Everyone out! We're closin'!"
"I'll meet ya at the Hospital Cid."

"We've got a 26 year old. Female. Involved in a car crash from drunk driver Sephiroth Hojo. Trauma to the head. Broken bones. Surgery needed now!"
Cloud ran alongside the nurses and Doctors who were rushing his wife to surgery. One nurse pulled him aside. "I'm sorry Sir, you can't go in there."
"But that's my wife!"
"I'm sorry." With that she ran behind the doors and left the man to run the things happening over and over, repeatedly through his mind.
"Aeris." He whispered.
My darling
If I hurt you, I'm sorry
Please forgive me

"Clear!"
The surgeons worked hard and fast, hoping to revive a life.
"Clear!"
The machine whirred. The line went flat.
-
"Oh man," Cloud's best friend whispered, walking his best friend inside. Cloud remained silent.
"I'm sorry. So sorry." He ran a hand through his raven hair and sighed, then grabbed his friend and hugged him.
The blonde blinked and hugged him back. "Thanks Zack."
Zack nodded and let a few tears lose. "She was a wonderful person." With that, he said goodbye and walked out, promising Cloud he would see him tomorrow.
Red sensed something bad and just lay his head on Cloud's lap. No longer strong enough to hold his emotions, he wept long into the night before he fell asleep.

"Clear!"
The surgeons worked hard and fast, hoping to revive a life.
"Clear!"
The machine whirred. The line echoed in a glorious beat of a heart.

Tifa Lockhart opened her eyes.

Cloud Strife opened his eyes.
And please say you'll be mine
