Tifa looked after you when Cloud left you. Denzel n Marlene too came to speak n play with you (just to make you feel well from your illness) you , Marlene n Denzel were in your bedroom. you were in the bed. two of them were sitting beside your bed.

Marlene asked suddenly" ne, Clare, can you tell us what happened last night? you weren't at home"

Denzel added" yeal! where were you? And you have some wounds..."

you shocked a little . you knew they didn't know what happened that night. you decided not to tell them at first. you didn't want them to worry for you. you stretched your back " well... i just have some scratches when i.. i slipped!"

" Are you sure? i.." Marelene started.

You cut her off " yes, i am!" you gave her a fate smile.

"...i think...um..." Denzel looked at Marlene to continue his words.

Marlene continued" you seemed you r not telling the truth...Clare! ... it is obvious on your face.."

you realized that they knew, you lied.

you sighed." i think i m not good enough at lying."

Marlene said" yeap! you can't lie us!" they laughed. "but.. what happened? plz tell us the truth! Tifa didn't tell us either!"

"yeal! you are always kind to us and a big sister to us!plz tell us, we could help you! whatever it takes, we will be always with you!"

you sighed.."kids, kids, kids... ok. promise me you won't worry about me. promise?"

they nodded n said "yes" in the same time.

" alright..." you told all about it. About Kadaj n his gang.

" wow! you r so strong!"

" well... "

"Our family is filled with heroes n heroines. wow!" Denzel shouted.

Marlene added" i want to be brave like you! yeal!"

you laughed " one day you will..."

Denzel asked" but what do we need to be heroes?

" well... let me think. i have never think of that! but. ...um... first your mind. have to be brave, protective for your loved ones, kind n your skills! of course you must be well trained!"

Marlene asked" can you teach us your swords skills?"

Denzel" yeal! please!"

You agreed" ok, one day! when i m free!"

" hey Denzel, every heroes need a girl!" a voice told. you three turned to face Cloud who was leaning against the door.

Denzel and Marlene blushed lightly as they looked each other. " Cloud you listening?" You asked.

Cloud laughed" yeal! "

the kids ran to him, he kneeled down n hugged them." hi guys, sorry i was late every night so i didn't see you two often. "

" nah! it is good enough we see you now!" they replied.

Cloud stood you n walked to you" now excuse me guys.!. i have to do something. "

they both laughed at you two n "ah yes! ok ok..have fun! bye bye! "

Cloud waited them as they ran out of the room. then he turned to you." miss me?"

you joked " not much!" you both lightly laughed. then he touched your forehead. " oh! the temperature has lowered, no more head ache, right?"

you nodded. " yeal! no more! i m better!"

" Clare... i want to take you somewhere, will you?" asked for your answer.

"why not? where? you asked curiously.

" i m not gonna tell you now. you will see. come on!" he held you from your bed, took you downstairs, got on the motorbike n set off.
