Aerith appeared the next day. Leon and Yuffie had spent the night in the Dalmatians' house and in the morning he took her to the first district square. She was relieved to see people. She had begun to wonder if the town was completely deserted, but it seemed that everyone just stuck to the First district because there were no creatures there.

That's where they found Aerith, standing on a street corner, looking around her in wonder. She was the one who saw them first actually, and yelled and waved.

"Yuffie! Leon!" She yelled and came running. "It's so good to see some familiar faces!"

Yuffie smiled and returned Aerith's hug. Aerith she had known better back in Hollow Bastion because Aerith came around every day selling flowers, and every week Yuffie's dad would buy a bunch to put up in the entrance of the dojo. Sometimes Aerith would stop to talk to Yuffie, because that's just the kind of person she was.

Aerith was the same as Leon and Yuffie; she had woken up in Traverse Town the night before, lost and confused. She looked so sad when she heard they weren't in Traverse Town anymore. "I hope everyone's alright…" She said quietly. Yuffie put an arm around her waist to cheer her up.

"I'm sure they're fine!" Yuffie said. "They'll probably all turn up within the next week, and we'll take over Traverse Town." She looked to Leon for support, but he was frowning at something she couldn't see when she turned her head to look.
