(music;Tsubasa;Dewdrops)
It was windy, the place was turning into a wasteland, maybe it was true, no one but the survived. There she was, Tifa, standing in front a cliff in front of Gongaga, She had black short-shorts that matched the back top that fitted her perfectly. Her Black tattered cape flowed with the wind hiding her sword which was strapped to her back.
Zack walked up beside, wearing jagged black pants and a Black vest with his buster sword on his back, Cloud wearing the same. Vincents had his everyday clothes on, no one really knew what he was wearing under the red clock covering his body all the had a green vest and shorts on with her shurikan also strapped onto her back, while aerith strangly wore her pink dress, probably to impress Cloud, along with her staff.
''You were right Zack'' Tifa said ''No one but us probably survived''. It had been Hours since Avalanche had embarked on their journey. They Barret was still in Wutai Taking care of the problems their, but promised he would soon join them, while Marlene was sent to Kalm, to Elmyra, Aerith's grandmother.
Tifa sighed as she jumped off the cliff and landed in front of wasteland, she could already see Gongaga.
''Wow!''yuffie Cried. She made her attempt jump off too, when cloud looked over the edge 5 sceonds later, Yuffie was in a crumpled heap. Vincent kept a gaze towards Tifa, his Tifa. He swore he saw vampire over there blushing. Cloud hated this man, he only seemed to talk to Tifa when he and Zack were there. For a reason, he thought he and Cid would make good buddies; rude and quiet.
Aerith jumped down next, and ended up sharing the same fate as Yuffie. Cloud and Zack went next landing perfectly followed by Vincent. The group continued to walk ahead silently as they neared Gongaga's ruins, Zack would occasionally try to start a conversation with Tifa only to be silenced by Vincent.
They finally raeched the entarce to the village. Cloud muttered a curse, while tifa heard Zack sigh, Aerith was on the verge of tears, yuffie shut up and so did Vincent, and she lost her breath as her eyes widened. This was mot the Gongaga she knew, not the place that had cheerful kids playing, not the place that had adults chatting away happily on the streets, not the place that held happiness and... not the place she grew up in.
Gongaga in present was a second hell,there were burnt houses everywhere and, dead bodies. It seemed everyone who died were either killed in the flames or were slaughterd by that... was like that man wanted no one alive, as if he wanted no one to survive.
There was fire in the burnt down shelters that once held a family, even after was spilled abd death was everywhere, Tifa fought back tears, no... she couldn't cry, it wouldn't do any good. She held her head low, not wanting to see anymore, ye she could feel Clouds lightning gaze on her.''Lets go''
They passed more death and sadness before they reached Tifa's house, or what used to be her house, she stiffened on what she saw, a pink mug, Cids mug. Her haed fell as tears rolled down her delicate face. no, She wasn't meant to ba here, still alive, Life was a precious gift, yet so many lost it. No one woke up this morning knowing they were going to die that day. No one knew they would lose their life for no reason.
''Happy Birthay Tifa!'' Cid and Shera yelled.
Her eyes widened ''how did you remember?''
''''ya thought we'd eva forget out daughter's damn birthday'' Cid said chuckled only to be slapped by Shera.
''Of course we'ds remember your birthady'' Shera replied ''Your apart of our family'' she ended handing her a box delicatly wrapped,.
Tifa gently took the box into her hands and unwrapped it before openeing the box, and what she saw made her gasp, there were two beuatiful silver teardrop earings, they suited her perfectly. Tifa gave a smile as she put them on, shera smiled as well, it was Tifa's first birthday with them, her tenth birthday, Ever since they found her, tifa tried to show happiness, yet they knew she didn't feel it, but now she learned o smile, laugh, cry and other wonderful feeling anyone should have.
Tifa's smile grew as she jumped into their arms and hugged them tightly''
''Thank you''
Many families died together, not wanting to leave each other,''but I failed to save them, I left them'' her vision blurred as she turned around, then she was pulled into a built chest, cloud. She embraced him tighter, not noticing Aerith's envious sad gaze, nor the glares that were being sent to Cloud. The world stopped.
After a few moments, she pulled back.''Sorry'' she said, wiping away her tears. '' don't worry'' he muttered back fighting the looks Zack was giving him.'' They were the people that took you in, the people that you called parents'' vincent asked.
She gave a nod,''how did you know''
''Barret's been telling us all about you, and you seem much more than what he described''. The name of barret made her face darken, at least Barret didn't see this, what happened to Gongaga.
''Well now we start our journey'' She stated.
''Tch'' he said looking down at the paper work on his desk, but where was that document on Jenova, where was it.
He stared at his drawer for a while, then opened it, there it was the document, but a potrait was on top of it. It was the girl he loved. He slowly picked it up, and only stared.
The picture was taken when he was at the age of ten. He visited Nebelhielm a lot of times, just to meet her. The photo brought peace to him, everyone thought she had died in the disaster, no...she was alive, he could feel it.
''I will find you tifa''
''I know your out there, I will Find you''
(end of Music)
''Screaming''
''Pain''
''death''
''TIFA!,GO!''
''No!,I won't leave you cloud''
''Nebelhielm getting Destroyed!, you must go teef!''
''I told you, I'll never leave you
(Music; Final Fantasy AC;Aerith's theme)
''water...'
''Tifa'' She whipped around to see only the pure water, but...that voice...
''Tifa''
She turned around again, and only a little away she could see a beautiful woman in a white dress, she looked like she was in her 30's, but what caught her eye was that she was carrying a bloodied sword, the same sword she owned now, she could see her name engraved on it, but there was another name too, and there was white flames coming out of it. he couldn't see her face, but before she could, she disapeared.
''I know her'' then she started running, running through the water, she was scared and lost. She knew that woman, tears kept running down her face, she was so familiar, then she stopped, there she was, standing in the middle of the water, her back facing her,
''Is this the path you choose, Tifa''
Tifa went silent, then thought,''yes'', she could feel the woman smile as she was turning around, she wan't facing her, she could only see her side, the woman turned her head down, then it happened.
(end of music)
A portal appeared in front of her, then he came out, his black wings strechted as he stabbed her through the heart.
''MOTHER!'' Tifa screamed, she began runnung, the water began to fade, then it was pure blackness, it wasn't pure anymore. Her mother just stood there, blood seeking through her dress, her eyes starting to well up with tears.
He was the one that killed her, he was the reason for his death all those years ago, he seemed to take away everything she cherished, it was him, he was Jenova's son. Tears were spilling onto Tifa's face, sobs racked her body as she kept running, not caring if she was getting closer or not, she saw her mother gracefully fallforward, but before she hit the dark surface of the water, she disapeared.
Sepheroth turnd to her,''I'll take away anything you cherish''
Tifa sighed as she woke up,she took a look around her surroundings. Aerith was sleeping against a tree, Vincent on a boulder, and Yuffie was sleeping on mud. she felt a movement,Someone was holding her tightly, or hugging her. Cloud. was he having a flashback too?, her eyes widened as he pulled her closer to him, which closed the gap between them, right now, she was against his chest. For someone that was asleep, he was still strong. Then she noticed there was someone tugging at her arm, Zack, maybe he was seeing Gongaga's destruction again, great.
She tried to pull out of Clouds grip, only to be pressed harder into his chest. She couldn't breath.
''Tifa?'' Through the corner of her eye, she saw aerith, she felt her face go red, she knew what she was thinking.
''Aerith..gasp..help..can't gasp...breath''Aerith lowered her head sadly and nodded, she took her rod and swacked Cloud's arm off of her, Tifa pulled away quicky and breathed in as much of Mother Nature as she could.
''Thank you'' she said holding Zack hand, trying to soothe him, just like a mother would. ''You were sleeping with Cloud the whole night?'' aerith asked sadly.
''I don't know, I just woke up to be in his arms''
''Does he get them often? nightmares?''
''no...I think that because Gongaga's incident was simular to something that happened before''
''what?''
''I'm sorry...I can't tell you, It's a secret That he and I keep, it's not that I don't trust you''. Aerith gave another sun began rising, as sunlight leaked through the trees. They were in the Forest in the outskirts of Gongaga, which was where they decided to camp for the night. They played truth or dare, which was what Yuffie suggested, and Zack dared himself to kiss tifa, he almost did, until Vincent punched him.
Vincent's eyes opened, as Yuffie started to sleep talk how stupid everything was, Zack swollen cheek from last night had healed and he and Cloud woke up, Zack blushing to find Tifa holding his hand. Tifa slipped her hand out of his and faced everyone''when do we leave?''.
''Soon'' Vincent said''Barret said that we were supposed to get to Midgar, which is in control of ShinRa''
''I heard that there's a plate that covers the whole slums, who ever lives down there can't see the sky'' Zack said intelligently. Tif's eyes widened, not seeing the sky, that was terrible, how fortuante she wasn't raised there, she should have been more gratful for seeing the crystal blue heaven up everyday, ''but I let it all go away''
After Yuffie woke up, They finished packing they're camp and got ready for departure,''Midgar, Here comes the Great white Rose Of Wutai!'' Yuffie pumped, ''You mean, you better better run'' Zack added.
They all chuckled including Vincent, which was really rare, Cloud shook his head and walked aside Tifa, on the other side was Yuffie and Zack fighting to walk beside her, Vincent swiftly came between Tifa and them and walked along side her as well, while Zack had his own time to shut up.
Cloud smiled remenbering last nights events
There she was, sleeping peacefully under the tree beside him. She looked beautiful, especiall with the moonlight shining on her face. This was usually a habit for him, he would always watch her go to sleep, to make sure she was okay, but her sleeping beside him was tempting. He just sat there a little longer, before he placed a kiss on her lips, he didn't care what she would think when she woke up, so she pulled her close and fell into his most peaceful slumbers.
Wondering why he was smiling Tifa went ino her own memories
''Hy teef, let's go!'' (noctis)
''You promise Cloud'' (tifa)
''Tifa! you gotta go!'' (Cloud)
Happy Birthday Tifa!(Cid&Shera)
''Tifa!''
Tifa!''
Tifa...
''Teef?''
''Tifa, you okay?''
''''huh?'' She said shaking her thoughts out of her mind. ''are you okay?'' Aerith continued. Tifa's face became red, she must have been worrying them for minutes, at least she didn't stop walking''
''Sorry for worryiing you, I'm all right'' She said keeping her head straight up ahead, sharing that precious smile everyone treasured. ''Stop staring at the poor girl and let's Go!'' Yuffie ordered, they all nodded their head and walked.
Sooner or later, Zack got punched again (by vincent) after trying to make a move on Tifa, while everyone else, including Yuffie walkied in companiable silence. Finally they passed the last tree, as Tifa stood proudly at the edge of the cliff they were standing on, To the men, she looked like a goddess, especially with her cape swiftly flowing onto the wind, along with her hair and her hair, and the sun's light silouetting her slim figure.
Therer was a faint noise coming below them, a train, Cloud received a nod from Tifa knowing what he was thinking, then he jumpd off the cliff, followed by Zack, Yuffie and Vincent. Aerith staggered back, obviously afraid, but she felt a warm touch, and then she was holding Tifa's hand, Tifa gave her a reasuring smile , and received one back, and together they dived off the cliff as well and caught up with the others.
Aerith smiled''She's to kind to hate''
