*author's note* Ok, so what? Maybe it's been like a year since I last updated. Hmm, over a year actually. Anyway, there is only one thing I can say. SORRY. I can't believe I completely forgot about this until just now. Anyway, I haven't written anything in a while, but I will try to finish this story though. No guarantees though, and thanks to all of my reviewers in the past, even though you probably don't even remember this if you see it now.
Avalanche Reunited
Cloud stood there in shock. He couldn't believe his eyes. His mind was almost entirely blank, and he didn't seem to be registering emotion. "Aeris?" he inquired, his voice wavering.
"Yes, it's me," Aeris said cheerfully, and quickly embraced him.
All the other members of Avalanche remained silent, all of them were in shock. Without warning, Barret sat Marlene down and bear-hugged Cloud and Aeris.
"Ouch, oxygen....breathing," Aeris gasped, unable to breath due to Barret's tight hold on the two.
Tifa and Yuffie both simultaneously went into the group hug. Cid looked around, " Oh alright!" he exclaimed outloud, and seemed to reluctantly join in. Shera joined in also at the time Cid joined. Cait Sith then finally joined in. Red and Vincent just silently glanced at each other and shook their heads.
" I...know...you....are...all...glad...to...see...me...back," Aeris gasped," but...if...you...want...me...to...stay...alive...please....don't....suffocate...me!"
Everybody at that instant immediately jumped back. Marlene walked up to Aeris and revealed a rose," I got this just for you, flower lady."
"Aww, how sweet of you, Marlene!" Aeris exclaimed, and picked Marlene up, caressing her hair.
"So uh....why exactly are you back?" Cloud inquired, filled with joy.
" I told you I would come back when it was all over. Did you think I lied?" Aeris replied, and smiled. It reminded Cloud of the last time he had seen her smile, that hopeful smile she had bestowed upon him just seconds before her death.
" But how is it possible? I mean, we sure ain't complainin', but you were dead. It's impossible to raise the dead though," Barret asked her.
" I don't entirely know myself. Everything is kind of vague. I remember Cloud in front of me, at the center of the Ancient City. Then I remember everything going dark, and then...Mother was there....along with the other Ancients. They all welcomed me. I told them about the Meteor that Sephiroth was going to summon, that I had used Holy to protect the Planet. They showed me ways I could look out into this realm. I watched all of you at times...at Mideel, Corel, the Underwater Reactor, and at the Northern Crater. I was even there when you had all seen Holy glowing. The Planet could sense Meteor approaching at that time. I knew it had to be stopped, but I didn't know if Holy was enough.....I led the other Ancients to Holy and Meteor through the lifestream. We stopped Meteor just in time, then things were peaceful. I remember Mother told me that my purpose here wasn't fulfilled. She told me there was more I had to do, and that I was needed.....that's all I can remember. Everything after that is all a blur," Aeris explained, with a slightly troubled look on her face.
Red then walked up to her," I never did get the chance to apologize for what happened at Shinra Headquarters," Red said, talking about the incident in which he had acted like he was attacking her in one of Hojo's capsules.
" Aww, it's ok. Thanks," Aeris smiled, and knelt down, stroking Red's coat. Red winced at her treating him like a dog, but he did however love the attention and tried to satisfy her by licking her face. Aeris laughed with joy, and hugged him.
Cid then whispered something to Cloud, and Cloud nodded. "Hey Aeris. How about we catch you up on what's been going on, on the Highwind. Remember, you wanted to ride on it?" Cloud asked her, smiling.
"Oh yes!" Aeris exclaimed giddily and then looked over at Tifa, who as of yet hadn't said anything.
" It's so good to have my best friend back. I missed you so much. There hasn't been a day where we haven't thought about you," Tifa said, and then embraced Aeris as the other's had.
" I missed you too, Tifa. I'm so glad that you and Cloud are happy together now with each other," Aeris said, happy too finally be back with her best friend.
"Wait, how do you know about Cloud and I?" Tifa inquired suspiciously.
" Like I said, I've been watching over you from the lifestream," Aeris replied, and then looked at all of them.
They all seemed to just stare at her, with tears of joy forming in their eyes. Even Vincent seemed to be threatening to show some emotion, which rarely happened.
"Well, why the **** are we all just standing around like a bunch of petrified pices of pelican s*it? Aeris has waited too damn long for a ride on the Highwind, and there ain't nuthin' stopping me from giving her one," Cid exclaimed, and ran off for the Highwind.
The others laughed and followed after him. Yuffie then privately hugged Aeris while they were behind the others. " I'm....sorry about trying to steal your materia a long time ago," Yuffie apologized. Aeris noticed that she had truly grown up a bit since the last time they had seen each other, well since the last time Aeris had seen her with her actual eyes.
Aeris laughed with joy," It's ok, Yuffie. Really, it is."
" Nice chocobo!" Yuffie exclaimed, examing Holy.
" The other's didn't even seem to notice him it seems," Aeris said, and then hopped onto Holy. "Come on!" she exclaimed, and Yuffie joined her as they headed for the Highwind.
