Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII

It's been a while since I wrote this thing…time to come back


It was a nice morning; the breeze was blowing and there were no clouds out, it was the type of day that made you feel like coming to school…in a student's case that is

Aeris walked passed the parking lot where she saw a white Gallardo, she assumed that it belonged to Rufus Shinra the big shot; she looked passed it to see a motorcycle she knew all to well

"Lets hope he's not too mad at me and what I said" Aeris said to herself as she started to flashback


"Cloud" She trailed off as he moved from her hand and got closer to her face

"You know Aeris…I like you" He said to her

"I know we already told each other that" she said as she was losing her composure when he was getting closer to her lips

"I like you…like you" He whispered to her as he was about to close the gap between them

'Wait but what about Tifa, and Rufus...what do I do…so confused' She thought to herself as their lips brushed because she pushed him away, Cloud looked at her with surprise and Confusion

"Cloud I only like you…not like you like you!" She said reluctantly "Sorry" She said sadly

"Oh…I'm sorry too" he said as he walked out of the kitchen


Just as Aeris was still thinking about Cloud, Yuffie approached her

"Hey Aeris!"

"Hey Yuffie" She greeted Yuffie with a warm smile

But Yuffie gave her a knowing eye "Like I don't know you and Cloud had a little getaway this whole week, where is he so I can make fun of him?" Yuffie said with a grin

"Yuffie!I don't know what your talking about" Aeris said blushing madly at what Yuffie was implying

"Weren't you guys together? It's been a week since both of you were absent"

"I have a doctor's note…but what about Cloud…isn't his bike over there?" Aeris asked pointing in the direction of Clouds bike

"Yeah but no one has heard from him all week…not even the gym teacher…who is quite angry with Cloud" Yuffie commented back

Aeris stood there not even blinking; she felt pain in her gut…an ominous feeling

"Come on, or we'll be late for class!" Yuffie said grabbing Aeris by the arm, but Aeris wouldn't move from where she stood "Aeris, I know you're worried but Hojo will have us on a platter if we are late"

"Alright" Aeris commented reluctantly as she let Yuffie drag her away while she had her head turned towards Cloud's bike


Aeris Stared out of the window constantly looking towards the black motorcycle

"I'll be taking attendance" Hojo said out loud

After Hojo said a couple of names he landed on Aeris's name

"Gainsborough…Gainsborough…" He stopped and looked at Aeris "Ms. Gainsborough answer me when you are called"

Aeris snapped out of her trance "Sorry, I'm here" She believed it was so stupid, I mean come on she was sitting right there in front of him

"Good" He replied, Hojo kept going on till he called Cloud's name which made Aeris look up at him

Hojo took a minute to look around and even looked towards the door

"Just like a delinquent" He commented marking off Clouds name

"He's not a delinquent!" Aeris said rising up out of her seat

"Ms. Gainsborough, I'd advise u to sit down and not say anything else" Hojo said calmly

She looked around a little nervous at first but then hardened her expression "No!" She said confidently

"Ms. Gainsborough" He warned

"In fact I saw his grades, he's doing better than everyone in here" She said as a matter of fact way of speaking

"Ok. Get out of my classroom now!" Hojo said angrily having enough of the insubordination

"Gladly" Aeris said as she picked up her book bag and turned to the door and walked out

Everyone was just looking around confused for a moment before Hojo killed the awkward silence with a cough

"Wow Tifa, that should've been your line" Yuffie said with a chuckle as Aeris punched her in the arm "Ow"

"Shut it" Tifa said a little angry at Yuffie's comment

Aeris didn't bother to go to any offices or anything; she walked straight towards the school parking lot and stopped right in front of Fenrir

"Ok how should we do this?" She asked to herself out loud. A thought then came to her mind and she pulled out some scissors from her bag, she ripped her dress so it wouldn't get in the way and she knelt down next to Fenrir and started to hot wire the motorcycle

She sat in the familiar seat and put on the helmet, she sat there for a moment and thought about what she was doing she closed her eyes and started to flash back to a time with Cloud


Flashback

"Alright Aeris, today you will learn how to ride" Cloud said

"What!" Aeris said with a shock and a blush

"Not that! Gosh you have a filthy mind he said with a blush

"Aww I'm just teasing you" she said as she got dangerously close to his flustered face "So teach me teacher" She said giggling at Cloud's expression as she went onto the bike

Cloud cleared his throat "Ok I'll guide you through this" Cloud started to explain everything to her and after a good 15 minutes she was set "Well looks like your ready"

"Wait. You're not coming on?" Aeris asked confused

"And die with you in a motorcycle related death that my parent's have said would happen to me…hell no…but you have fun though" He said as he walked away

"Cloud Strife! Get back here!" Cloud kept walking as if he heard nothing "Do you hear me mister!" He started to whistle as he picked up a wrench and started to toss it up in the air "Cloud! Don't leave me by myself…" She said sadly as Cloud stopped in mid toss up to have the wrench hit him on the head

"Aeris are you ok?" He turned around hiding his pain with a concerned look only to find Aeris Sitting on the bike trying to hold back her giggles Cloud growled at this and walked back and sat behind her making sure she was safely secure on him. Cloud then began to give a full scale explanation

"Is that it? Gosh you talk forever" Aeris said

"Shut it" Cloud replied making her laugh "Rev the engine and do what I told you"

Aeris did as instructed and the bike started to move

"Yay I made it move!" She yelled out as they kept going

"Pay attention" Cloud warned as he was gripping tightly for his life not trusting Aeris

"I got this!" She reassured "Just relax"

"Ugh" Cloud responded

"Now I know how you feel" She said laughing as they made there way up a dead end street for her bike training, Aeris revved up the bike and made it do a wheelie by accident, making Cloud fall off

Cloud after a good five minutes got up and started to walk home

"Cloud, where are you going?" She started to yell with a smile on her face


Flashback end

"Well I can do this" she said confidently getting on the bike

Aeris sped through the streets not like Cloud but similar and safer

When Aeris got to Clouds home with near encounters with death she hurriedly got off Fenrir and ran to the door

"Where did he leave this key?" she asked herself as she started to ponder where the extra key Cloud left was "found it" she said happily and proceeded to put the key in the lock and took a deep breath before she turned the knob

"Cloud- whoa…um hi" Aeris said as she met a figure wearing a dark coat and had a scar on his face

"Sup" He replied


Who is this mysterious guy? And where in the world is Cloud Strife? Questions will be answered and I'm real sorry for being so late on my writing its been hard to keep up…college crap...applications and stuff but that's not important to this website
