Scarlet yawned as she finally finished her drawing of the churches inside. She put her art supplies back in her bag and stood up stretching. Picking up the bag Scarlet looked at the watch on her wrist and saw it was quarter to twelve, which meant lunch was in twenty minuets. Scarlet sighed heavily as she walked out of the church and headed towards the 7th Heaven. Sadly, when she reached the bar it was filled with the lunch time rush that Tifa forgot about.
Scarlet quickly went in the back way and ran to her room. She dropped her backpack and put on her waiter apron, before going to the stairs and sliding down the banister. She went over to Tifa and gave her the note that Cloud had signed the previous night, allowing her to be a waitress on busy days. Tifa quickly checked to make sure Cloud signed it and then she sent Scarlet to a table with a small note pad. She walked over with a kind smile on her face.
"Hello, welcome to the 7th Heaven, my name is Scarlet Strife and I'll be you're waitress today. So what can I get you?" She asked kindly.
"Wow. You have a great attitude, so there putting you on two jobs now?" Scarlet noticed the voice and when she looked up from the paper she saw it was Vincent, Yuffie, and Cid. She smiled at her fellow AVALANCHE members.
"So I'm stuck with you guys?" She asked smiling.
"Yep, and we're not the least bit nice." Cid said jokily.
"Hey, give me a break. I'm only doing this to help out with rush." Scarlet said giggling a bit.
"Alright, well why don't you get us all some fruit punch, since you're still too young to touch any alcohol." Yuffie suggested.
"Well do, be back in a sec." Scarlet said and walked over to the kitchen area. After a few seconds she came out with three glass mugs of fruit punch. She set them on the table and gave one to each person.
"So what can I get you guys to eat?" She asked.
"Cheeseburger for me!" Yuffie said happily.
"Same here." Cid said.
"Same." Vincent said.
"Wow. You all get the same thing, that's cool." Scarlet said and went back to the kitchen. He came back a few minuets later with there meals and placed them in front of the three.
"Alright, now on to my next table, just holler when you want something." Scarlet said. She was heading to the next table, when Tifa hollered over at her.
"Delivery for Barret, go to the bakery and get Marlene's muffins. Then I need you to go to the store for me." She said. Scarlet nodded.
"Well see you guys around." She said and ran to the stairs. They waved 'bye' to her. Scarlet ran to her room, throwing the apron and paper on the floor. She grabbed her wallet and back down the stairs, going down the back way. As Scarlet ran down the street she noticed that she had forgotten to ask Tifa to put medicine on her cut. She'd just ask when she got back.
Scarlet soon came up to the Midgar bakery and went in.
"Hello. I'm here to pick up some muffins under the name of Wallace." Scarlet said as she walked in. The man at the counter pulled out a small box and set it on the counter.
"Its nice to see you again Scarlet. So you're on a delivery?" The man asked. Scarlet nodded.
"Yep, here's the money. See ya around." She said placing the money on the counter and grabbing the box. She headed out the door and ran down the street. She ran for a while till she came to a small house almost outside of Midgar. Scarlet walked up the steps and knocked on the door.
"Delivery from Strife's Delivery Service, someone wanted some fresh Midgar bakery muffins!" She called a smile in her voice. The door opened up and the little girl Marlene smiled up at Scarlet.
"Hi Scarlet, it's been awhile since you last came to visit." Marlene said.
"Well it's been pretty busy at the 7th Heaven, and since Cloud is barely around its hard getting stuff done." Scarlet explained. Marlene nodded.
"Oh, and I almost forgot. Here you go." Scarlet said as she gave Marlene the muffin box. She happily took it and laughing came from inside the house, along with big footsteps. The door opened the rest of the way to show Barret with a kind smile on his face.
"Yo Scarlet, thanks a bunch for pickin this up for my little Marlene. So how much do I owe ya?" He asked.
"It'll be 5 dollars." She said with a smile. Barret smiled back and handed her a five dollar bill. Scarlet placed the money in her wallet.
"Thanks for using Strife Delivery Service, please call again if you need any other deliveries." Scarlet said. Barret laughed.
"Oh, you know we always call you guys. You're the best around." Barret commented.
"Thanks. Well I better get going. Tifa needs some errands run and it'll be getting dark soon." Scarlet said.
"Well you be careful out there alright? Don't talk to any strangers." Barret said. There was a scratching of a chair being moved inside the house and Cait Sith popped out.
"Oy, lassie it's been the longest ages since I last laid eyes on you. Why don't I accompany you with your chores?" He offered. Scarlet nodded.
"I'd like that. Thanks." Scarlet said with a smile. Cait Sith walked out and stud next to Scarlet.
"Well, we'll be leaving. See you guys later." Scarlet said and started walking down the stairs with Cait Sith. Barret and Marlene waved goodbye to them as they ran down the street.
Two hours passed before Scarlet and Cait Sith were about half a black away from the 7th Heaven. They each where carrying two big bags filled with everything that had been on Tifa's list.
"Has Vincent been on any new missions lately?" Scarlet asked not liking the silence.
"Sadly none, I can hardly keep in touch with him." Cait Sith said.
"Sounds like someone else I know." Scarlet said.
"Clouds' still in his depression I see, so that's why you're so busy lassie. Don't you ever go play with the other children?" Cait Sith asked. Scarlet shock her head.
"There's to much work, and I don't really like playing that much. I usually go to Arieth's church and draw, but even that is getting hard to do." Scarlet said.
"It's sad for a beautiful, young lassie like you to have no time for her self." Cait Sith said.
"Oh no, it's not like that. I love helping Tifa out, its just that I miss my brother being there. He's gone all the time, and the first time I've seen him in two weeks was today. It was only for a short time and I tried to get him to come home with me, but he won't." Scarlet said sadly.
"Don't worry lassie, he'll come around." Cait Sith said. Scarlet nodded then winced. She stopped on the sidewalk and put the bags down as she looked at her knee. It was bleeding and getting infected.
"Ow, maybe Cloud was right." She gritted out holding her knee. Cait Sith put his bags down and went up to her.
"Are you alright lassie?" He said worriedly.
"I'm fine. It's just a scratch." Scarlet said and stood, but when she put pressure on her knee a strong pain ran up her body, stunning her. She fell to the side out cold. Cait Sith jumped out of surprise and ran over to her.
"Lassie! Lassie! Wake up! Help! Help! Someone help!" Cait Sith yelled, as he ran for the 7th Heaven.
