Chapter seven is now up. Once again I'd like to thank all who reviewed (Aloran, Rise, and Young Roy) please do so again. Special Mention goes to Aloran and Rise, who are unofficially my editors before I put new chapters up, therefore there will hopefully be no stupid mistakes like in the previous chapters. Now on with the story...

Chapter 7

Cloud's P.O.V.

(A/N: To recap on what happened in the previous chapter, Yuffie has just revealed the fact that Cloud, yes Cloud is her fiancee; he is shocked well out of his wits as of...now...). I stood there, my brain refusing to function. All that good-for-nothing brain did was replay over and over what she had just announced: "Cloud's my fiancee!". I dropped all my luggage upon hearing this. My mouth opens to question her, but sadly nothing came out. I shook my head, attempting to rid myself of that thought, and to jumpstart my brain (although that failed miserably...). Yuffie quickly runs over to me and grab my sweaty hands. "You remember don't you?" she says, on the verge of tears.

Oh what in gods name did I do to deserve this? I don't even know her and she claims that I'm her future husband? But judging by the looks of her, I'd say she wasn't lying... wait what am I thinking! Of course she's lying (denial, the first step in a mental breakdown). I look around desperately, analyzing anything that could somehow be of help. Vincent...no,( though I'd wish he would A) shoot me, or B) shoot her). Barret...no, he just looked as confused as I am, Marlene giggling (no she wasn't any help either). The jail cell? ...nope...looks like Zack was beginning to come around. Damn it all! Not one thing can save me! Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye I see this building, far away.

"Uhhh..."I started, gauging the distance from here to that building. "Yea...of course? How could I forget...uhh...Yuffie" I lied. She suddenly brighten up, it was as if I had given her the most wonderful treasure in the world (I felt bad...but oh well). Her grip loosened, which gave me all the chance I needed. "Later!" I said, making a dash for it before she could say anything. I reach the building with inhuman speed (shocking I know what fear can do to a person), quickly opened the door an shut it. I'm out of breath, running so fast, so I just stood there huffing and gasping for air. Suddenly I was handed a drink. It looked like a cool...refreshing...ice...water... (so...very...thristy...) I quickly take it off its silver platter, and gulped it all down (man that hit the spot!)

"Thanks," I said gratefully, hoping that Yuffie didn't follow me here. I look up to reveal a pretty attractive waitress. Her dark black hair flowing well down to her waist. She looked physically active, looking slim and fit. Her chocolate brown eyes (with maybe a hint of red, Im not too sure) looked at me worriedly.

"You alright?" she asks, "looked like you were running from the devil himself"

Yep, the devil herself.

"Hey Tifa!" shouted a masculine voice across the...pub? "Customers are waiting!"

"Sure thing Jak!" she said smiling at me, then she turned to grab a round of drinks.

I open my mouth to say something to her, but just that moment a loud...and VERY drunk voice sung through the air. "...Hey Tifa!" the voice was slurred, and the owner of it probably drunk out of his mind, "You want to -hic- make me -hic- happy tonight?"

A figure popped out and landed on the a table, I did a double take, for what stood on the table looked like a weasel or an ocelot ( a very inebriated one at that). "Well -hic- Tifa?"

I look at Tifa, wondering what her reaction would be. She just smiled and said happily: "No Dax, not tonight." and walked to deliver more drinks.

"Awww -hic-," continued the inebriated weasel (or is it an ocelot?). He suddenly breaks out into song, singing what seems to be "My Heart Will Go On" (and absolutely butchering it). The one Tifa referred to as Jak quickly made his way from behind the bar, to the table and grabbed who Tifa referred to as Dax. Jak then threw the intoxicated, tone-deaf rodent into a door marked 'Staff Only'. I chuckled a bit (it was surprisingly funny to watch it sing that horribly). I opened my mouth to start a conversation with Tifa when the door to the pub suddenly opened; I didn't need to look twice was I saw a flash of raven colored hair. "Later..."I say to Tifa, running threw a door (I seem to be saying 'later' a lot...), to what looked like an inn. I didn't have enough time to see it in detail, but I did notice this rather plump, short man, wearing blue overalls, and basically red with everything else. What got me the most was his moustache: it looked absolutely revolting. But I didn't have enough time to socialize so I dashed threw another door. This door led outside...where I wasn't sure what would happen next.

"Cloud!" Yuffie yelled (wow she's loud). And so once again I find myself running like the world was going to end, to hopefully...somewhere safe.

Whew, another chapter done. Hopefully another one soon. Sorry if they are short, Im trying my best!

Please Review!
