The Day Our Town Burned To The Ground Part 1
Sorry it took so long! It was a lot t o write I think its the biggest chapter I've ever written at 6000 words. Well, who wants to give me applause? Nobody? Okay...
Anyway, I tried to work with what I had so if it isn't good then just say lol.
Enjoy!
"Your first full day Tifa! You have 24 hours." Zack's voice rang in my head making me smile as his breath tickled my neck even if he wasn't there.
"Its nine in the morning in the heat of Nibelheim summer and now look up Tifa, Damn look at that sexy beast coming up into town!" Zack's voice said as I turned towards the entrance where Zack was entering with Sephiroth and the two young cadets -one of the two being Cloud. I saw Sephiroth stop just outside of town checking something down on the ground as I scowled at his back before answering Zack.
"Wait, why is Cloud still trying to get into SOLDIER, I thought he only joined because he wanted to impress me." I said remembering when Cloud had explained it to me about how he felt. He said he joined SOLDIER to impress me, because he felt weak and like he couldn't be anything here in Nibelheim.
"He still got into fights with the other boys because they used to say things about both of you behind you back. At first he would just walk away but after he got tired of it and started throwing the odd punch. The other boys fought better so Cloud went into SOLDIER to get stronger to protect you instead of impress you. You kept in touch with each other and Cloud still talked to you even after he didn't get into SOLDIER... He just didn't tell you he didn't get in." Zack told me as we watched Sephiroth talking to the group just in front of the gates.
"So in making sure I didnt do anything stupid, I didn't do much at all." I said looking at Zack as Cloud went back to get his helmet.
"Nope, you just made it easier for you, which is fine, without Cloud coming back here with me and Sephiroth then Mr Crazy over there probably killed the world faster." Zack motioned to Sephiroth before looking back at me with a smile.
"So anyway, sexy guy right there, agree?"
"Yeah that cadet on the right is damn sexy!" I teased Zack knowing he was talking about himself
"Hey! Cloud is actually on the left and I'm totally telling him you called his buddy sexy." Zack told me as the men advanced. He disappeared before I could turn to stick my tongue out at him.
I smiled as I watched the two cadets walking into town. The one on the right was definitely Cloud. He was walking closer to Zack and he had the same air to his walk. While I was watching them I saw a flash of brown running towards me unknowingly about to crash into me.
"Tifa look out!" I called just before the girl ran into me sending us both to the floor. I sat up first with a small huff of breath.
"Sorry Tia..." Tifa said to me sadly I pulled up her face by her chin and sat us both up so she was sitting on my knees while my legs were folded beneath me.
"Now, tell me what's wrong." I suggested to the girl taking off her cowgirl hat and brushing her hair out of her red blotchy face. I knew I used to hope Cloud would come to town and when I heard SOLDIER were coming I would wait by the gates for them to arrive to ask if they knew him. I remembered how some days I never used to get any letters and his mother did and how I used to worry that he had been killed seeing as I never heard anything of him.
"Cloud said he would be coming some time soon on a mission but Cloud didn't come today..." she said with a sigh confirming to myself that I still did the same things even when I knew he was a friend of mine. I smiled slightly to the girl.
"Did Cloud say he would come?" I asked her pulling more stray fringe out of her eyes.
"Yes..." Tifa sniffed
"Then why do you doubt him?" I said with a smile that increased as the distance between us and the approaching SOLDIER's decreased.
"But he's-"
"Shhhh! Stay here!" I told her quickly ducking her head down behind a box as I moved further towards the Nibelheim Inn.
"Hey Zack! Take Cloud's helmet off so I can kiss him!" I shouted to the black haired SOLDIER standing next to the inn. Zack looked at me then to the boy I knew was Cloud before pulling off his helmet to reveal his short hair blue eyes and earring. I smiled wider as I ran over and kissed Cloud's cheek.
"Hey Tia." he said rolling his eyes as I engulfed him in a hug playing with the earring.
"What? This is okay this time?" I asked with a giggle. Cloud just shrugged with a smirk. "Told you you'd want girls kissing you at this age." I told him smugly.
"bet they're all over you in Midgar" I stated sarcastically watching Zack smile and cough next to Cloud in a sort of laugh while Cloud elbowed Zack.
"Maybe I got a girlfriend..." Cloud mumbled looking away from me for a minute. I ignored him placing another kiss on his cheek.
"I guess the lucky girl is either Aerith or Tifa because you never knew any other girls in your life!" I chuckled pulling my arms from around his neck as he gaped at me like a fish. Instead I turned to Zack who was snickering and saying things along the lines of 'she's totally psychic' while Cloud shot him a glare.
A huge smile graced my lips at the very sight at the man who had been dead just a minute ago.
"Zack!" I shouted flinging myself at him and smiling as I happily wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Hello very enthusiastic person!" he half laughed half shouted back to me and started hugging back. We swayed and twisted while hugging and I knew he was smugly looking over his shoulder as I moved away to face him.
"If you knew what I went through because of you... God, I wonder if you're as annoying now as you are when your-" I stopped talking when I heard a hiss from the dead Zack.
"He doesn't need to know yet!" he told me before his presence faded I nodded to thin air before turning back to the two as if I had finished my sentence.
"Does she always do that?" Zack asked Cloud who shrugged as he replied.
"How should I know? I only met her 3 times!"
"then why do you put up with her?" Zack asked confused.
"She may not be crazy so I just go with her quirks." He told Zack with another small shrug.
"Gee, thanks for thinking I'm not crazy" I mumbled rolling my eyes jokingly at the two. That was the point when Zack's mission partner came into the village.
Sephiroth.
The memories suddenly came rushing to the surface. The hot pain as his sword cut me, the pain in my heart as I found my fathers body what Cloud had to go through to keep one man dead...
"No!" I whispered to myself watching as the memories flashed behind my eyelids. I suddenly found my voice when I looked up to the man before me. "Get out of here!" I growled darkly and angrily looking at the man with my angriest face. He seemed confused at me but he didn't speak, he just stared at me for an immeasurable amount of time.
"Tia..." Cloud said taking hold of my arm so I couldn't do anything rash as I saw red and panted out through my nose like an angry bull. All I saw was red as I tried to unsuccessfully break the grip bloud had on my arm feeling all hope was lost when Zack saw Cloud struggling to hold onto me and coming to hold my other arm himself. I spat in Sephiroth's direction
"Tia, calm down!" a voice told me. I saw younger Tifa coming over to me. I didn't even flinch or look at the girl before speaking up to her. "Tifa. Some time soon I'm going to tell you what I'm here to prevent. Maybe then you will get why everyone I know hates him." I told the girl. She had replaced her hat and was looking at me with a worried expression.
"Tell me tonight. We can go to Cloud's since his mom will be happy to know he visited." I looked over to the almost normal version of Cloud whose cheeks were now flaming with his embarrassment.
"I can't tonight; I have to tell you sooner. It started tonight." I told her I looked to Zack with a stern look.
"You're going to lend me your blonde cadet." I told him. Zack looked shocked by the statement thinking maybe I should ask instead.
"And why should I?" he asked playfully.
"Because I'm doing a lot of favours for you next year and you will be repaying me with a hell of a lot of bartending work." I told him truthfully I heard dead Zack whine in my ear about having to work on the bar but I ignored him watching a Zack pushed the boy at me.
"Thank you." I said with a nod before taking Cloud by the hand and leading him to his mom's house. Tifa was holding his other hand with intertwined fingers.
"You two better be together for that to be acceptable" I said sternly like a mother at the two. Tifa blushed deep red and Cloud looked away hoping I couldn't see the colour on his face. Their reactions answered my question yes for them.
"Told you it would be Tifa" I said smirking down on both of them. They both looked up at me like I was crazy. Maybe it was because they thought I was going to be angry with them. "My husband and I took months to get together even after he contracted a fatal disease." I told them letting go of Cloud to knock the door.
"Is he okay?" Tifa asked wondering out loud what the older her had to go through. I let out a small laugh and a smile.
"He's fine, his Geostigma is gone and all that's left to remind us of that day are the scars on his arms and chest." I told them faltering to look back and glare at Sephiroth's silver hair covered back.
"Geostigma?" Cloud asked as Mrs Strife opened the door. I looked at Cloud with a sad frown.
"You handled it a lot better than Denzel did, I think you must've had it easier because you had it less time... but it couldn't have been easy and you had the worst attacks out of the two of you..." I told him before realising I was referring to Cloud as himself, this version of Cloud did remind me of my Cloud the most out of all the time I had been here, it was an easy slip to make when the only differences were height and his eyes.
"Denzel?" Tifa asked sounding just like Marlene. I was silent looking for a distraction. I found it as I looked up to the wide eyes of Mrs Strife.
"Hello again, ma'am. I need to speak to you this time." I said ignoring Tifa for a minute as she whined at me for not answering as a shocked Mrs Strife invited us into her house.
"Well, come in don't be shy! Cloud, you come here, I didn't notice you in the doorway, oh how big you've gotten! Tifa don't just stand there, come in come in! Cloud, wipe your boots on the mat. I'm sorry; I'm not usually this hectic, you need to forgive me dear." The last part was directed at me as I made my way through the living room. I could tell from the way Mrs Strife was rambling at me all of a sudden she knew something was going to happen.
I walked further into the house following Mrs Strife into the small kitchen where she sat at a table and started massaging her temples like she developed a large headache.
"Am I about to die?" the woman asked whirling on me slightly as she checked some food she was cooking. "Mrs Lockhart died last time you were here and then after you just disappeared leaving a whole legacy of rumours about being a death angel. So I want know: am I about to die?" Cloud looked like he wanted an answer too. I looked down and shook my head.
"I'm going to do the best I can to make sure you, Mr Lockhart, Tifa and Cloud all survive this." I looked out the window before quickly adding "And Zack."
All three people around me looked at me curiously.
"You never answered my question." Tifa suddenly asked at the same time Cloud asked "you can't be certain of it?
"No Cloud, I'm sorry but I can't tell you who is going to die if I interfere. In my time, it was devastating the least I can do is soften the blow." I looked away from the boy and turned to Tifa. "And Tifa to answer your question... Denzel is... Mine and my husband's son. We adopted him after Midgar's plate fell and he became a sick orphan that Cloud found." I looked at my hands in my lap as I realised I slipped up again. I sat quietly as I let them digest the information. I wondered why I was still using the term 'My husband' for Cloud. I bet they knew who he was by now. I looked up at Mrs Strife through my lashes before shyly lifting my head to see her.
"Who are you?" she asked looking at me with shock that I had said something that seemed so far away. I looked up with a small smile as my gaze flickered to each person in turn before I smiled directly at Mrs Strife.
"I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't introduce myself. My name is Tifa Strife. I live in Edge -the place built after the fall of Midgar - with my husband and two kids nine years into the future. I came back to make things right." I told her looking at Tifa and Cloud as they digested the information I had not previously given them.
"Oh my gosh! I'm gonna marry Cloud!" Tifa gasped. She was the first to recover from the information. I smiled at the girl and plucked my golden wedding ring off my finger. Almost immediately the small inscription inside the ring was being read out loud by the teenager I had given it to.
"'I love you, love Cloud.'" she read out to everyone before handing to ring back to me I smiled at her reluctance to do so.
"you two get married if you want, this reality is different you may not feel the same." I told Tifa with a smile as she started asking me about how long we had been together, had we thought about having kids, did I have a good job, all those kinds of things. I looked over to the silent side of the Kitchen answering Tifa's questions automatically as they came at me like darts.
I watched as Cloud poked his mother's side trying to get her attention. "Are you okay mom?" Cloud asked poking his mother's side once more. Mrs Strife just looked at me like I had grown three heads.
"Mrs Strife, in my world things were different from how I'm trying to make them. Cloud never had a friend, he went off to SOLDIER and nobody knew he was here in the end." I told her with a breath before continuing.
"In my world Sephiroth went mad and burned down Nibelheim with you and my father and everyone else dying." I told her one again looking out to see Zack and Sephiroth chatting in front of the inn.
"So... I am going to die?" the woman asked quietly looking only at her hands in her lap.
"No ma'am, you aren't going to die, I'm not going to let Sephiroth win this time." I told her with a sigh.
"What happened to Cloud and Zack?" younger Tifa asked me with wide eyes.
"Cloud... Was an experiment of professor Hojo for four years. The same goes for Zack. After that both escaped but Zack was killed as he was protecting Cloud. Cloud forgot who he was and became Zack. Eventually he snapped out of it but he managed to get that stupid fatal disease." I felt my face twist in disgust at the thought of the black slime produced by the Geostigma. I hated it with a passion. I was glad I would never have to deal with it again.
"Don't make that face Tifa, you know we healed him completely." Zack's ghostly voice echoed around the room causing everyone to start turning and panicking.
"Actually, Aerith healed him. You only helped give Cloud a confidence boost." I told the voice looking up to the ceiling as I spoke.
"Well he got stabbed in the chest AGAIN! What was I meant to do? Hand him a Phoenix Down and a potion and say 'Go get him!'? You know that wouldn't work with Cloud." Zack materialised leaning on Cloud's head as he spoke earning gasps from everyone in the room.
"I guess." I said indifferently with a shrug as everyone looked at Zack. "Everyone, this is the dead version of Zack Fair. He likes being sarcastic and doesn't often give you a straight answer." I told them with flourish as he walked away from Cloud and leaned on my shoulder.
"Eh, bite me." Zack said swatting my ear playfully before looking around the room.
"Hey Mrs Strife!" he said with a small wave at the older woman as he headed over to wrap an arm around her shoulders. "I LOVE your cooking so make me something please?" Zack asked for his alive self's comfort before both me and Tifa took a breath to scold him.
"Zack don't scare Cloud's mom!" both Tifa and I scolded at the same time. I looked over at her with a small smile at a giggle winking at the girl who wound her arm through to hold Cloud's.
"Jeez, you really are the same person..." Zack muttered once again trying to go back to getting Mrs Strife to make him food. I looked over to where Cloud and Tifa were retreating to the living room leaving Zack to talk the ear off Cloud's mother while I sat and watched.
I frowned for a second realising how much I missed my own Cloud. I thought of him back home celebrating Zack's death on his own. I looked to the ghost who was trying to make small talk with both of the Strifes –Cloud had came in for some popcorn because he and Tifa were going to watch a movie- who were just staring, trying to process he was dead.
It was at the point in the conversation where Zack was describing where he had spent the years since his death when his phone went off in his pocket.
"What, so you have phones in the Lifestream now?" I asked sarcastically as Zack cringed at the caller ID.
"Crap, it's Aerith." Zack told me looking up "I didn't tell her I was visiting you just to talk I kinda joked about haunting you..." he disappeared knowing the call would take a while if it was the rant he was betting on getting.
"Zack's a ghost?" Cloud asked me sadly looking up with his big blue eyes.
"He died five years from now." I told Cloud sadly watching him frown. "You were there, you told me about it; how it happened, how you felt, how you thought you could've prevented it... You really did take it pretty hard. You forgot who you were and started to be Zack in the trauma of everything that was going on for you." I told him leaning down to his level to see the tears glittering in his eyes. I knew Zack and Cloud had been best friends even at this point in his life.
"But this time I'm going to save him." I told Cloud with a small smile lifting his chin to make him look at me.
"I'm going to make sure you never change and always act like this. My little Cloud." I let out another small force smile before kissing the blonde's forehead and walking over to stand beside Mrs Strife.
"What's the matter, dear?" she asked after a minute handing me a mug of tea she had been making while I reassured Cloud of Zack's safety.
"I miss him." I said with a sigh. I wondered how Cloud was handling being at home with Marlene, Denzel and Shelke all at once. I hope he wasn't trying to watch over me too...
"Who?" the woman asked as we both moved to sit at the table.
"Cloud..." I said with sigh thinking about Cloud and the rare smiles he gives in comparison the young smiling boy before me who lived in the barracks at Shinra in Midgar now.
"But he's right there, sweetie." she said nodding to where Tifa and Cloud were snuggled together watching the small TV from the smaller sofa with the bowl of popcorn nestled between them.
"I mean MY Cloud. My twenty five year old goof ball who works as a delivery boy and rarely smiles and never says more that three words in a sentence to anyone but me." I sighed again, pausing to shaking my head. "My Cloud is so much different from your son now..." I told her looking to Cloud as he pressed small kisses to Tifa's temple.
"Why is he so different?" the woman beside me asked with a frown as she watched her child from where we stood.
"He thinks he isn't good enough for anything. He's shy and has issues with talking to people. He doesn't like losing what he has and constantly blames himself for anything he can. But he's so honest and trustworthy most of the time. Sometimes you can read his face like a book and he's so strong; mentally and physically." I stopped my list of why Cloud was different with a hum of contentment.
I missed what my Cloud was like.
Just as Mrs Strife was about to speak my phone rang from its perch next to the key bowl in the living room.
"That's funny..." I mumbled to myself going to pick up the phone and noticing it held no number or caller id. I wondered who had managed to call my phone when the only people with my number where in the future.
"Hello?" I asked hesitantly after retrieving my phone. I wasn't sure if my phone should even be ringing in a dream.
"Tifa?" an urgent worried voice asked into the phone.
"Cloud!" I called into the phone glad to hear Clouds voice. All the heads in the room snapped to me as I grinned to the point of almost purring.
"Tifa!" he replied almost happily. I wondered where he was now to think to call me.
"How did-" I started before Cloud interrupted.
"Aerith told me to ring your phone. Apparently you're on some kind of mission, right?" he sounded more worried as he spoke now hoping he was right in what he was doing.
"I am, I'm in the past in Nibelheim before the fire. I'm sitting with you and me and your mother. Cloud, you were so different before Zack died..." I told him with a sigh noticing how all the occupants of the kitchen were looking at me still with mixed emotions. A happy face, a sad face and a confused face all stared at me. The sadness in Cloud's eyes reminded me of the situation. Sephiroth needed to be stopped and Cloud and his mom kept safe.
"My... Mother?" Cloud asked sadly interrupting my inner thoughts. By the sounds of his voice I could tell Cloud knew she would die soon where I was.
"Do you... Want to talk to her?" I asked motioning to Mrs Strife to come here and take the phone from me. My only reply from Cloud was a soft noise of thanks as I passed the phone over and walked over to the younger versions of myself and Cloud leading them out into the living room.
"Who was that?" Tifa asked from her place on Cloud's lap on the sofa.
"My Cloud." I told her quietly before sitting down next to them. Both looked at each other confused before looking to me with questioning eyes.
"The one at home, he's worried about me. He's talking to his mom right now, its the last chance he will ever get most likely so it may take a little while." I told the two sitting on the floor next to the two watching whatever they had put on the tv.
Three hours –longer than I expected- passed until Mrs Strife handed over the phone with small tears in her eyes. She looked like she wanted to cry more than I could tell she already had.
"Cloud?" I asked into the phone hoping he was still there.
"Hey Tifa." He said quietly. I could tell he was still thinking of his mother.
"You better hope these between time calls are free or you will be in big trouble." I told him hearing a soft grunt from his side which was Clouds version of a laugh.
"If they aren't we can blame Zack." He told me. I knew he had one of his small Cloud smiles on his face right now. I smiled back at him before I spoke.
"I miss you."
"I miss you too." He replied without even a pause.
"You are okay aren't you, looking after the kids and Shelke and the bar and dealing with Zack's death alone, right?" I asked him looking at the phone from the corner of my eye.
"Tifa, don't worry about me, I'm fine. Shelke is helping me look after the kids, Barrett came over and he can cook the basics for us so we don't die, Zack's death was a few days ago so I should be fine. Just... make sure he lives this time. And Teef, I know I'm not alone anymore." He told me making me smile once again.
"I love you." I told him
"I love you too." His answer was just like when I said I missed him, without pause almost like he was going to say it as well.
"Teef, I gotta go, Marlene bought a puppy home."
"Marlene did WHAT?" I said as I heard the scrabble of claws on my clean wooden floor.
"Bye Teef,"
"If that thing scratched my floor so help me I will-" I heard the disconnected noise in the phone as Cloud quickly hung up to handle the puppy.
I looked over to see younger Cloud and Tifa smiling at me, trying to suppress a laugh at my behaviour.
"My daughter bought a puppy home!" I told them in disbelief.
"I can see why that would tick you off, however I need that cadet back." A voice said from across the room. We all looked at Zack who was leaning on the door frame of the open front door.
"Piss off Zack, he's mine for the day!" I told the man stubbornly crossing my arms.
"Did you just tell him to piss off?" Cloud asked in disbelief.
"I'm not scared of Zack. Besides, you are mine. Mine and Tifa's for the day before everything ends." I told him watching as he looked at his mother sadly.
"Oh it's on girlie! You did not just say you weren't scarred of me! I'm really scary, ask Cloud!" we all looked at Cloud who shrugged and uttered 'only in the mornings.' To Zack's shocked face.
I laughed at both Cloud's statement and Zack's face.
"Well you look like a Chocobo in the mornings!" Zack shot back at Cloud.
"He always looks like a Chocobo." Tifa informed Zack rolling her eyes as if it was so obvious.
"Jeez you two. Zack, you can stay here for a bit with us if you want. I think Cloud's Mom is cooking some food for us." I said looking to the kitchen where a still blotchy faced Mrs Strife stood cooking some stew.
"I'll stay!" I heard Zack chirp before jumping on the sofa with the other two who protested to having his sit on them. I wasn't watching them though. I was walking into the kitchen to see if Mrs Strife was okay.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" I asked lightly touching her shoulder.
"Please, call me Ann." Mrs Strife told me with a small weak smile as she turned to me. "You may as well seeing as you marry my son." She said sounding a little sad at the thought.
"What's wrong?" I asked again guiding Ann away to sit down for a minute so we could talk.
"He was so sad; he sounded like he was having a hard time alone. And a little boy kept interrupting saying something about a puppy." She told me looking a bit confused at the last part. I sighed at the thought of Cloud having trouble, he only had to wait a few more days for me to wake up, if I even woke up in that reality.
"Yeah, our friends little girl bought a puppy home. Denzel looks up to Cloud like an idol so he must've been trying to help Cloud control things." I told her with a smile.
"One more thing, does he look different? I mean, you seemed to recognise him but has he grown his hair long or cut it or anything like that, I mean, I won't see him at this age." Ann looked down timidly I saw an almost blush on her cheeks as she pushed her hair behind her ear and stared at both of her hands which she placed in her lap.
"You will see him at this age, I'll make sure of it." I told Ann placing a hand on hers and smiling at her as she lifted her head. "I have a picture if you want to see, I showed it to Cloud and Tifa when I was here the first time to get them to believe who I was." I told her pulling my phone back out of my pocket and displaying the photo to Ann. I watched her face light up as she took in his features with a growing smile.
"You're a good photographer"
"It was a lucky shot."
"He looks happy."
"We took the kids to Costa Del Sol to celebrate."
"Celebrate what?" Ann asked suddenly looking up at me with a questioning gaze. I looked back at her before looking away again to the picture still displayed on the screen.
"We were celebrating Cloud being home after so long of avoiding us, and we were celebrating the complete fall of Shinra. The kids were with our friend Red while we were swimming. I think he took them for ice cream when this was taken." I told her looking up with a small smile matching Mrs Strife's own smile.
"Damn, he's a hunk." Ann joked "I always used to wonder why he used to say he was going to be on hunk calendars when he was younger. I guess he was right." She added with a small laugh making both Tifa and Cloud turn their heads to the kitchen. Cloud saw my phone and guessed what was happening.
"Tia! Put that picture away!" he groaned banging his head back on the wall.
"Oh! Is it the sexy Costa Del Sol picture, let me see!" Tifa called getting up and running over. She giggled at the picture. "Last time I saw this I was five, I need to be able to see it clearer to see what I'm getting myself into!" she told us taking the phone and smiling more as she looked over the picture.
"This is so my background when I get one of these." she told me with a smirk.
"Who's in the picture?" Zack asked from over my shoulder.
"Err..." I said trying to think of something.
"It's Cloud's older brother." Ann supplied for us shrugging as she took the food off the stove and started pouring it into bowls.
"Oh yeah! His name is Cole!" Tifa added
"He's my boyfriend." I told Zack with a small smile.
"He looks just like Cloud!" Zack said easily fooled.
*I am not easily fooled I'm just going along with it*
*oh shush Zack.* I thought at him with a smile.
All of a sudden there was a knock at the door.
"Zack, you in here?" a smooth deep voice called.
"Yeah, Seph, I'll be there now!" I felt every person's emotions -except Zack's- go from happiness to absolute hate and anger.
"Don't call me that." the voice replied menacingly before adding "We will be going up to the reactor so if the guide is in there tell her we need her assistance." the man added without remembering that one of the cadets was with her. We listened as his footsteps retreated away after finishing his orders.
"Oh crap! I forgot I offered to do that!" Tifa groaned slapping a palm onto her forehead and banging her head back.
"I don't want to do it anymore. I can't be around him, even if he didn't do those things yet." Tifa said out loud still leaning her head back and slapping her palm off it.
"You think I want to go now that I know what I do? I don't, but I have to." Cloud informed her picking up Tifa's hand and dragging her up.
"Come on, we have to." he told her.
"You know, being home made you crazy what are you talking about, cloud? Tifa? Stuff he's going to do! It's Seph, he wouldn't hurt a fly!" Zack told us cheerfully not noticing everyone glaring at him in disbelief.
"Wouldn't hurt a fly" Ann scoffed "But he can take out a wutian army" she added from her place at the table we were all around.
"Why are you all against Seph?" Zack asked in a confused tone with a sigh as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"It's nothing Zack" Cloud assured his friend half heartedly looking at the door before walking towards it.
"Well, let's get this over with" Tifa muttered as she joined Cloud and the two left leaving a confused Zack running behind calling out for them to slow down.
"Do you think something will happen to them?" Ann asked sitting down on the sofa that had been previously occupied with the butts of Tifa and Cloud and patting the place next to her for me to sit.
"I know something happens, I just can't remember what." I said with a sigh as I flopped down onto the sofa before giving a small sheepish look towards Ann.
"Well, time will tell what happens." Ann told me patting my arm. "Now, how about some food?" she asked moving over to the kitchen with a smile she sent my way.
Ok, great it's done! God this took me 2 weeks, I've been spending time drawing instead, lol I may not update for a little while now because I just started college and the homework I have from 3 days is piled on my desk.
