Tifa sighed and stretched up in the air. Yuffie and Cid were still there, where Vincent had left a long time ago.

"I'm so glad that's over." Tifa said with relief. Yuffie smiled.

"Now we can finally talk!" She said happily. Tifa sighed and glanced at the clock.

"It's already past 8:30. Where could that girl be? I'm getting worried." Tifa said.

"Oh, you shouldn't worry about her. She has the blood of that spike head running through her veins. She'll be fine." Cid said.

"I'm still worried. She's only 11 and the way things have been going, I'm not sure it's safe for her to be out this late." Tifa said.

"Help! Help! Someone help!" Cait Sith came running into the bar freaking out. Tifa, Yuffie, and Cid stood.

"Cait what's wrong?" Tifa asked.

"It's the lassie! Scarlet fainted a little ways away from here. I don't know how it happened. You have to come help!" He said still freaked. Tifa gasped.

"Well let's not all just stand here. Come on." Cid said. They all ran out the door and fallowed Cait to where Scarlet was. Tifa knelt down next to her and gently lifted Scarlet up in her arms. Her cheeks had a light pink tint to them and Tifa put her hand on the girl's forehead.

"She's getting a small fever. How did this happen?" Tifa asked Cait.

"I'm not really sure. One moment she was in a bit of pain and said something about that boyo Cloud being right. She has a bandaged wound on her knee and when I asked if she was alright she said she was, but as soon as the lassie stood she faint." Cait Sith said. Tifa looked at Scarlet's bandaged knee and saw the blood coming through it. The blood also held a yellow rim meaning infection.

"It must have been a pretty deep cut. It's starting to get infected, so some of the infection might have gotten into her blood stream. We have to treat it quickly before it spreads too much." Tifa said standing and lifting Scarlet up with her. Cid and Yuffie picked out the bags and fallowed Tifa back to the bar.

Almost two hours past before Tifa was completely done with cleaning Scarlet's wound. Somehow a small piece of metal tore through her knee and made it deeper then it should have been. Tifa put medicine on it and bandaged it tightly. She put a cold wash cloth on the young girl's forehead and walked out, shutting off the light as she went.

She walked down stairs where Yuffie had fixed everyone an alcoholic root beer. Tifa sat next to Cid and looked at the clock. "Its 10:30. Cloud might be back soon." She said sadly. Yuffie quickly downed her glass.

"You need to talk to that man and see what his problem is! He should have been here for you and his sister!" She said angrily.

"That guy has no consideration for anything." Cid said.

"I agree. The little lassie feels bad about it." Cait said.

"I know, but I don't think there is anything I can do." Tifa said. Cid sighed.

"So how was the little ladies condition anyway?" Cid asked.

"She has a small fever and her knee is slightly infected. She'll have to stay in bed all day tomorrow, whish I know she won't be happy about. Scarlet loves to help around her. I don't know why though. I don't know what I'm going to do since its Saturday tomorrow and there are going to be a lot of deliveries and a big rush over here." Tifa said starting to get stressed out.

"We'll help ya lassie! It's the least we can do!" Cait Sith said. Cid and Yuffie nodded.

"Yeah, we're a part of a team and we help each other when help is needed." Yuffie said happily.

"Yep." Cid said.

Then the door opened to show a depressing looking Cloud. Tifa turned around and smiled.

"Hey, we have a little situation." She said. Cloud looked at her.

"Scarlet hurt herself today and is going to have to stay in bed all day tomorrow. Would you stay and help with the deliveries?" She asked. Cloud looked away distantly.

"I can't. I'm busy." He said. Yuffie growled.

"Cloud how can you be so selfish! Your little sister is up there with a fever and all you can think about is yourself!" Yuffie yelled.

"Spiky, you should at least help Tifa out. She's had a busy day and tomorrow will be worse. Can't you put it aside?" Cid said.

"The little lassie is worried about you. I'm sure it'll make her day to see you here." Cait Sith said. Cloud sighed.

"Whatever. I'll help." He said. Tifa smiled.

"Thanks Cloud. Oh, could you please check on Scarlet when you go up?" Tifa asked. Cloud just nodded and went upstairs.

"He is so hardheaded." Yuffie said downing her fifth root beer. Tifa sighed.

Cloud was stuck in his thoughts of his two lost friends. Zack Fair and Aerith Gainsborough. He believed it was his fault for the early deaths and he knew he was blame. As he headed for his room Cloud noticed Scarlet's door was slightly open. He had agreed to check on her, so her shrugged and opened the door. A small groan was heard from the figure in the bed as Cloud quietly walked over. Soon blue Mako infused eyes met clouded light brown ones. Scarlet smiled weakly up at him. Her face was slightly pale and her cheeks held a reddish tint to them.

"Hi big brother." She said weakly. Cloud knelt down beside the bed.

"Why didn't you get Tifa to clean the scratch right when you got back? I told you to." Cloud said quietly.

"It was really busy when I got here. I just forgot about it. I'm sorry." She said. Cloud sighed and moved some of Scarlet's hair out of her face.

"Just be more careful next time." He whispered distantly. Scarlet slowly nodded.

"Tifa also said that you'll have to stay in bed all day tomorrow…..so I'll be staying to help out." Cloud said. Scarlet gave a small smile.

"Do I really have to stay here ALL day tomorrow?" She asked. Cloud nodded. Scarlet groaned.

"I hate not being able to help." She pouted weakly. Cloud re-cooled the rag and placed it back on Scarlet's forehead. He left the room silently closing the door behind him. Scarlet sighed and soon fell back into a fever induced sleep.

Tifa sighed and stretched up in the air. Yuffie and Cid were still there, where Vincent had left a long time ago.
