Chapter 14

Hey guys. Well, since I've never played FFVII (oh, the shame!) I'm just spitballing here. Ignore the lack of a name for "town."

Chapter 14

In the year that Tifa had spent away from town, they had built a mall. She and Marlene were ecstatic. Cloud smiled at them and Denzel groaned.

"Do we have to?" he asked Cloud.

"A happy woman is a happy family," Cloud said wisely. Tifa smiled at that. Cloud didn't seem to obey his own rules sometimes.

"They need new clothes for school," Tifa said to him. "But they probably need some new school supplies too."

Cloud nodded. "I've got it."

"Thanks, Cloud."

"You don't need to thank me."

Was he buying his way to forgiveness?

"Mmkay." Cloud looked at her.

"I'm doing this because we're a family," Cloud said. "I'm just doing my share. My money is your money, too."

Tifa just nodded.

"Mmkay." She couldn't deny that they had been rather tight this past month and a half. Denzel and Marlene would be very careful with spills and grass stains because they didn't know when Tifa would do another wash load.

"Tifa!"

Tifa looked up. Marlene was gripping an adorable shirt, but it was way too big for her, coming past her knees like a long dress. Tifa laughed and went over to find the right size. Cloud and Denzel stood at a distance, watching. It was kind of funny. Cloud looked very cool and calm, and nobody dared to look at him twice. Denzel, on the other hand, had the other effect. He was a miniature Cloud, only he looked adorable doing it. Tifa suppressed her laughter and helped Marlene.

Sorry for the short chapter!!
