-Rude's POV-
Rude watched the scene happily as Vincent passed him on his way out. He noticed Reeve watching Tifa congradulate Cid and Shera.
Though she seemed genuinely happy for her friends, Tifa's face was a bit strained around the eyes and mouth as she congradulated them.
When she stepped away from them to make way for the others Reeve aproached her.
Reeve gestured at Cid and Shera, "We could have that too, Tifa."
Tifa looked again at her two friends, then looked at Cloud who was smiling slightly, but still looked a little sad as he stood behind Denzel and Marlene. Her heart began to ache at the thought of separating from them, and of the thought of throwing away her life with Cloud. Though their relationship was highly lacking in romantic department, there was still a chance that maybe one day Cloud and her would find the same happiness together as Cid and Shera.
Tifa turned to Rude with determination in her eyes, "I'm sorry, Reeve. I love Cloud. And I will wait for him as long as I have to."
Reeve watched her for a moment before understanding with a slight tinge of sadness tinged his eyes. He nodded and stepped back, "Alright then, just remember that I will always be here if you ever need anything."
Tifa nodded and smiled then turned and walked toward the happy couple to pull the rambunctious ninja away before she could snitch Cid's materia again.
Rude's phone rang out inside his pocket, so he quickly pulled it out and answered it.
Rufus' voice came through the reciever, "Rude, I need you and Reno to return. I have a mission for you."
"What is it?"
"I need you and Reno to go with Tseng and Elena to retrieve something from the Crator."
