I'm sorry if the title of this chapter is just 'The Party Members' if you've played the game or have seen the movie you know how many members there are in the party, right? It'd be quite a long title if I put all their names

Title: Aerith

Rating: K+

Genre: Friendship

Characters: Vincent, Cid, Red XIII, Barret, Cait Sith, Yuffie ,Tifa and Cloud

Warning: The characters might end up getting OoC

After Yuffie made Vincent, Cid, Red XIII, Barret, Cait Sith, Tifa and Cloud agree to go on a picnic with her they pass by the forgotten city and stayed there. They also decided to have their picnic there, they noticed that Cloud seemed a little distant "CLOUD!" Yuffie shouted making Cait Sith say "Keep your voice down, lassie!" "Why? I have all the rights!" She shouted back at Cait Sith, who earned a glare from Red XIII for accidentally hitting him on the head "this place must hold too many memories for him" said Cid "Aerith's death?" asked Yuffie "yes and I know that he believes he's at fault. It's not like he's the only one who lost someone dear to Sephiroth" said Tifa "how do you know he believes he's to blame?" asked Barret " Because he's been distancing himself from us" explained Vincent "Spiky should know that Flower Girl, Aerith, would not have liked it if he distanced himself from his friends" said Barret "I can still remember what happened to her and I know how he feels about it" said Yuffie "yeah, I remember it too" said Tifa

--Flashback--

Aerith was kneeling on the center of the circle, praying, she looked up to see Cloud and gave him a faint smile. Then out of no where Sephiroth comes down, impaling his sword through the cetra's body. After a while Cloud brings her out to the lake and sets her downon the peaceful water, watching her sink deeper and deeper down the lake...

--End of Flashback--

"It must've really hurt him" said Yuffie "but was the only one who lost a friend" Tifa asked with an irritated tone "I know, he's not the only one who lost a friend, I did too, even my father. I lost them both to Sephiroth but do you see me distancing myself from my friends even after a year?" Cloud faced her and Vincent said "no". Cloud looked back at the lake Yuffie seeing him like this passed him a sandwhich telling him she also misses Aerith. "Come on Cloud" Tifa started glancing at him "I know she would still help us out with our problems and I know she has wonderful memories with us. I can only count one sad memory with her everything else were happy memories. So I think she'd be happy if you didn't distance yourself from us" said Tifa while smiling at Cloud who in turn smiled back and said "hmm...I guess so"

After the picnic Tifa went with Marlene and Denzel to Aerith's church and watched them, especially Marlene watering and caring for the flowers. Before leaving Tifa smiled and murmured something even Marlene and Denzel couldn't understand.(1)

The End

(1)I might also put this part in Tifa's story

Well what do you think of this chapter?

Note: None of the chapters are really related but there are some lines in a certain chapter that implies a small connection to another chapter.

If anyone is wondering there are atleast 6 more chapters before I end this story (so that makes a total of 10 chapters)

And if I have time later or tomorrow, I will create and post the next chapter probably about the turks. if not, I'll post it within the week.
