"No, he's mine!"

How did this argument start again?

"And he will never be yours, because you're weak!"

Oh yes. Cloud. It was always about Cloud.

Aeris sighed. "What does strength have to do with it? I don't see the connection!" Tifa just kept up her glare.

"Because Cloud doesn't like weak, shallow, unattractive women! That's why!" Tifa spat at her, hands on her hips, large breasts bouncing slightly as she bent to stare at Aeris levelly.

Aeris snorted, an unusual sound coming from her. "I admit you can hold yourself in a fight, but the way you're arguing right now makes you very shallow!" She looked away into the night, slightly appalled with herself.

"UGH! You're so stupid! Why can't you be happy for me and him?"
Aeris blinked and. "What is it exactly that you 'have' with him, Tifa? Love? I don't think so. Lust? If he had any lust for you, he'd be going crazy, since you're dressed like a slut with your breasts hanging out like that!" Finally, Aeris and her cool exterior cracked, spewing out words she normally would never have said.

Tifa just blinked in shock. Aeris, saying such things. Such horrible, horrible lies. How dare she say such nasty things about her!

Aeris, on the other hand, took the chance to continue. "You'll never have anything with him, because you're so fake! You treat him as if he's stupid, and you fawn over every action he makes. It's pathetic! No-one could possibly be attracted to it!"

The first sound to follow was the loud, resonating crack of skin on skin. Aeris stood there, slowly raising her shaking hand to her cheek, tears starting to gather in her eyes.

"…" she was stunned into silence, and Tifa took the lead.

"You're the whore, you're the slut! You just have small breasts, that's all!" The words were casually thrown back in her face, as if they were compliments, not insults.

A few tears trickled down her face.

"He will never be yours if you keep acting so horribly!" and leaving Tifa with those words, she turned and fled into the night.

Away from Tifa. Away from her friends. And, towards her death.
