"CLOUDIE!" Tifa yelled as she ran into the blonde's arms, nearly making him fall over.

"Tifa..?" he gave her a worried look. "What happened? Are you oka-"

"I've missed you so much! Why did you have to leave?" Tears cascaded down her pale face as she hugged him tighter. The man looked at her in confusion.

"Teef.. I was only gone for two hours.."

"Two hours! It felt more like an eternity!"

Not knowing what to do, all Cloud did was pat her back awkwardly. When she released him from her bone-crushing hug, he looked down at the brunette, who was currently wiping the tears off of her face.

"So, you wanna go-" A look of annoyance and anger appeared on the woman's face.

"YOU IDIOT!" she suddenly yelled. "HERE I AM, CRYING OVER YOU AND YOU DON'T EVEN APOLOGIZE!" she said, thowing a punch at Cloud, in which he dodged by just a centimeter. She sent more punches, then decided to add in a few kicks.

"What the? She was just crying a minute ago!" Cloud thought to himself, dodging another kick from the violent girl.

"C-CALM DOWN! I'm sorry, geez!" Tifa dropped her foot as a smile spread across her face.

"Okay, I forgive you!" she exclaimed, giggling. "Ahem. I'm hungry. Go buy me some Cocoa Puffs and some sea salt ice cream."

"What's your problem?" he asked, irritated by her sudden change of moods. "What are you, bi-polar?"

"I-I'm not bi-polar." she frowned, sniffing.

"No! Don't cry! I'll get you your Cocoa Puffs and your ice cream." he said, running off.


"Hey, Aerith? Where'd you want me to put the.." Cid trailed off. "Cloud? What're ya doing in here?" Cloud Strife was currently in Aerith's cart that held all her flower seeds, sprinklers, shovels and such.

"Did I forget Tifa's birthday or something?" the spiky blonde asked.

"No.. why?"

"Because.. I'm kind of scared."

A few meters away, Tifa was looking all over the place screaming, "CLOUD! WHERE ARE MY COCOA PUFFS?"
