*------*------*------*------*------*------*------*------*------*------*----- -*------* Chapter 1: Awake of the Sleeping Soul

It had bin 3 months since that night when Cloud left. Tifa was crying in her room with her face hidden in the pillow. Vincent had tried to cheer her up but he had nothing to show for it.

"Cloud.* sniff * . why.Cloud.how..?" She looked up at a picture of the hole group at the Gold Saucer. Her eyes filled with tears and hid it back in the pillow.

Vincent walked in silently and pulled up a chair next to the bed. "Tifa I think you should go outside your room. Your acting as bad as I was inside my coffin. You should go on with your life he'll come back."

Tifa looked up from her hiding place and looked at the picture. "But.* sniff * wait no your right Vincent!," She sat up and wiped away her tears," I should know that. Cloud will be back! Clouds not the type that leaves and never come back."

Vincent smiled," Good timing to stop weeping over Cloud. You should have know this along time ago like 3 months ago."

Tifa sighed," Your right. I should have known it." She got up and fixed her self up.

Vincent smiled and headed for the door," Oh yea there's some people who want to be severed down stairs."

Tifa put her hand on her hips and said," Vincent you could serve them you know."

"Tifa I LIVE here I do not WORK." He walked out the door and Tifa sighed as she followed after him.

Marlene walked down stairs, Vincent was cleaning the bar grumbling to himself, and Tifa was in the kitchen cooking something.

"Vincent?"

"Yes Marlene?"

"Is Cloud coming back? I had a dream about a guy with creepy eyes. and and and.. "

"Its ok Marlene it was just a dream nothing bad is going to happen."

"Really? You promise nothing bad will happen to me, Tifa, Cloud, or miss lady?"

Vincent looked over to the little girl. Miss lady? And Cloud?

"Really really."

Marlene smiled and went behind the bar and hugged him. "Miss lady will be happy that Cloud will be ok!"

Vincent hugged her back," Marlene who's miss lady?" he muttered in her ear.

"Marlene, Vincent lunch is ready!" Tifa called from the kitchen.

Marlene let go of Vincent and ran into the kitchen. Vincent got up and followed slowly after her thinking about this "Miss Lady".

Tifa set the plates down on the table as Marlene sat in her spot at the table. She saw Vincent walking to the table. He looked like he was deep in thought. She put the food at the table to and set a plate for herself. It was bugging her about what Vincent was thinking.

"Vincent what's the matter with you?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm not going to loss you again! I'll have to do it!"

"But what if you don't make it back..? What will I do?"

"Don't worry. I'll get back to you. Boco will take you there."

"There coming!"

" I'll hold them off.you stay alive till I get there. Use this it will protect you from any wild shots."

"Don't die."

"I won't"

"Go now.!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Nothing why Tifa?" Vincent said looking up at her.

"Well ok.." Tifa sighed and ate her food.

Just then they heard a chocobo out side the hotel. Also a young woman's voice.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Tifa and Vincent ran out the door and saw a gold chocobo with soft blue eyes that looked familiar. A young women sat on top of the chocobo, she had long light brown hair tide back in a brad, innocent green eyes, in a pink dress with a torn spot witch looked like a sword went though, a dark pink vest, and holding a dark red cape with burned at the tips. Tifa instilly knew it was.

"Aeris!?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm sorry I did that Aeris. who's chocobo is that?"

"That's Clouds chocobo.. he saved me.."

"Speaking of Cloud were is he?" Vincent walked in the room it was dark out and Aeris had a bandied around a small wound on her arm. He was holding up a tray of tea.

"Cloud.is.I don't know.." Vincent gave her the tea as Tifa got up from the kitchen table and looked out the window.

"What happened to him?"

Aeris looked at Vincent and then back to her tea." I don't know.after that attacked from that thing Cloud told me to get out of there so he leaned me Boco and his cape and Boco took me here."

"Hmm..? What's that?" Tifa said as a large portal like thing shot over a river not to far from the town.

Vincent looked out the window too," I don't know but I bet its not good. Aeris you should stay he-" Vincent looked back were Aeris was sitting but all there was a cup of tea.

"Aeris?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aeris ran though the town out into the small wooded area, then out to the river were the portal is.

"What is that? I know its the plant but."

Suddenly a ray of light hit the ground right by her. She fell backwards as she watched the light started to fade away showing a figure lying down on the ground. Then the light vanished and Aeris got up and started walking to the figure. She couldn't believe what she saw.

"This.this is impossible."

The figure was of a young man with long silver hair, with two bangs that stuck up then went down, he was wearing something in black but his clothes were torn and ripped. Aeris kneeled down next to the body. He was hardly breathing and looked so weak. Suddenly two people as she looked back and saw Tifa and Vincent running to her.

"A-Aeris! What are you doing?!" Tifa said as she stopped next to her panting. Vincent came up next to her and looked down at Aeris and the body.

He pulled out his gun and aimed it at the body. Tifa looked at Vincent," Vincent what are you doing?! Stop that!!"

"Look Tifa.." Vincent said still aiming the gun. As Tifa looked at the body.

"H-how? N-no its not really Sephiroth.is it?"
