A Story with No Name
Chapter 1
Tifa woke up feeling completely rested. Not to mention excited. There was going to be a winter concert in town today. And as usual she had to be there. After all, she was the star of the show .Along with Yuffie, she'd been singing on the stage for about five years now. The people in town loved to watch the concerts. They were entertaining and lightened the mood in town.
Tifa looked out the window, the ground covered in a thin blanket of snow. And that's when Tifa remembered she was going to meet Yuffie. "Shoot" Tifa muttered to herself. She pulled on a white tank top and a pair of torn-up looking black shorts. Tifa was about to run outside when her mother stopped her.
"It's winter Tifa! It's not warm out!"
"Oh, right"
Tifa grabbed a lightweight shawl and pulled it over her shoulders, then sprinted out the door.
"Bye mom I love you!" Tifa called.
Tifa's mom shook her head. "That girl, she's somethin' else."
Tifa continued running until she reached a thick forest, where Yuffie stood waiting.
"Bout time" Yuffie complained.
"Let's go." Tifa said.
The two girls went off running, not even stopping when they reached a cliff. From there, the girls proceeded to jump, falling hundreds of feet into the cold lake below. Tifa swam back to the top and laughed, as Yuffie followed behind her.
"Don't you love a nice winter swim?"
"It's too cold Tifa"
Tifa laughed, and a few passing villagers called to them. "Hey girls, you're gonna be late!"
"Crap! The concert!" Yuffie screamed. The two girls pulled themselves out of the lake, and ran, as fast as they possibly could towards the town. The girls made it with ten minutes to spare. "Phew, that was close." Yuffie said panting. Tifa and Yuffie got dressed at the Inn. Yuffie wearing a long-sleeved dark green dress, While Tifa wore a long, sapphire colored dress and a scarf to match. They were gifts sent by Queen Melanie.
"I can't believe your aunt sent you this stuff. If she's a royal, then how come your mom isn't a royal? And why aren't you a royal?"
"I really don't know…" Tifa replied.
And Tifa meant it. Her aunt, queen of their kingdom, seemed to be the only royal in her family, and it made o sense that her mother wasn't a royal.
"I'll ask my mom why she isn't a royal….because now that I think about it, I wanna know too." Tifa said.
Tifa and Yuffie headed out on stage, ready to perform. The piano player began, and Tifa sang the song she'd been preparing all month.
"You
say my love is all you need
to see you through
But I know
these words are not quite true
Here is the path you're looking
for
An open door leading the worlds you long to explore
Go if
you must move on alone
I'm gonna make it on my own "
At this time, Tifa had a whole crowd drawn to the little stage by the edge of town.
"Kiss
me goodbye, love's memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Don't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the dream
in my reality "
A few people had tears forming in their eyes. Even Yuffie had to prevent herself from crying onstage.
"As time goes by I
know you'll see this of me
I love you enough to let you go free
Go, I will give you wings to fly
Cast all your fears into the
sky"
At the other side of town a mysetrious man was running from a group of knights. By running in completely confusing patterns, he managed to lose all the guards but one. So the man pulled out his large sword and knocked the knight unconsious, just to get away. The man made his way to the other side of town, where Tifa performed. The man joined the crowd to watch.
"Kiss
me goodbye, love's mystery
All of my life I'll hold you close to
me
Don't shed a tear for love's mortality
For you put the
dream in my reality"
the man soon became entranced by her beautiful voice. She was absoulutely beautiful.
"Kiss me goodbye, love's memory
You put the
dream in my reality"
The crowd cheered loudly, as Tifa bowed and left the stage with Yuffie, who'd provided an extra voice in the song when she needed it.
"Tifa that was the best performance we've ever done! Did you hear them cheer?"
"Yeah, I guess it was pretty good". Tifa said. "I'm gonna go get changed back at the Inn. Call me if you need me Yuffie."
"Okay"
Tifa walked back to the Inn again, to a small room all the way in the back where Tifa and Yuffie put their costumes on. Tifa wanted to stay at this inn one day. She lived so far from town to begin with, and she loved town, but her mother was frail,with nobody to look after her, and probably needed Tifa at home. Tifa's biggest dream was to be a famous singer, performing for many villages, even far off kingdoms.
When Tifa was all changed, she opened the window. It was a huge window, two feet from the ground below. Easy to break in, easy to sneak out. An easy window. Period.
Tifa hated the window, but always kept it open. It overlooked another part of the town, the lower part. Tifa loved the lower part of town. It had a beautiful fountain she could see from the window.
Tifa turned to grab her stuff and go find Yuffie, but was immediately startled by the sound of, someone coming in through the window. 'A man, possibly. Yes, definitely a man' She thought. Tifa grabbed a pair of leather gloves from the table, and pulled them on without the man noticing. In fact, the man had no idea she was there. Tifa thought she'd be alright. She knew martial arts, which she'd been taught by a man who lived about a mile from her house.
Tifa came towards the man, ready to punch him when he turned around. She came pretty close too. The man turned to see the woman's fist coming her way, but he managed to grab it before she could hit him. Tifa struggled to break from his grip, but he would not let go.
"I'll let you go, but you can't hit me, Ok?"
Of course Tifa wasn't sure she should trust this man, and did what any girl in trouble would've done.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME! LEMME GO!!!!!!"
The man covered Tifa's mouth as knights came running past the window, never finding the man.
"SHH! I'm not gonna hurt you! I just need to ditch the knights!"
Tifa broke from the man's grip and began screaming out for help again
"No! lemme go! Help!!!!"
And then the man did the last thing he could think of to get her to stop screaming.
He went and pressed his lips agains hers.
Tifa went quiet. "what the heck?...why's he kissing me?" Normally, Tifa would've been freaking out, but something inside told her everything was fine, and she relaxed.
Something inside told her this was right.
When the man pulled away she stood too stunned to say anything at all.
"We'll meet again" the man said. "I promise". And with that, he left through the window he came in through. The image of his eyes stayed in her mind.
Yuffie came in the room a few minutes later. "Tifa, are you ok? Tifa?"
"Yuffie, let's go to the lake. We hafta talk."
Within 10 minutes the girls had reached the lake and were floating along the surface.
"So what happened?"
"Um….."
"What happened!?"
"I…I was kissed…"
"Oh my gosh your first kiss? I'm so happy for you! Who was it?"
"I…I dunno, just this guy who came out of nowhere."
"Was he at least cute? What did he look like?"
Tifa thought about the man for a moment, but the more she remembered about how he looked, the cuter he seemed to her.
"He was wearing mostly black, he had blonde hair…spiked blonde hair, and blue eyes……"
"Are you sure this guy's real? Seems like a fantasy to me."
"He is real Yuffie, he even told me we'd meet again."
"Aww, it's so romantic, I feel like I'm missing out."
"I don't get it though Yuffie. He didn't have to kiss me…so why did he? And…why didn't he give me his name? was he lying to me?"
"Relax Tifa, figure it out later, this is supposed to be your happy first kiss, like in the fairytales."
Tifa realized how different this kiss was from the cliché first kisses. Then, she just laughed, thinking, "Yuffie, it will never be a classic cliché thing to anybody in the world. We're all different. And i'm no exception. Nothing in life is a fairytale."
"Right?"
