Disclaimer: I don't own final fantasy VII

Thanks for the reviews and to all the readers

Cloud stood in the school parking lot with the rest of the senior class with a extremely bored look on his face

"For someone who won the championship game for his team with a come from behind win, you don't seem too enthusiastic. Not to mention you have a pretty girl right next to you" Aeris chimed in with that heart warming smile that Cloud loved too much

"Yeah I know. But this senior trip seems like it's gonna be a pain in the ass…and plus how could I be enthusiastic when I ended up running 30 laps around the field just because I accidently drop the trophy" Cloud said as Aeris giggled at her boyfriend

"You didn't "accidently" drop it...You didn't care enough to hold it carefully" Aeris said with a frown

"Same thing" Cloud said simply as Aeris giggled again as Cloud frowned

"Look a bit more happy, spike!" came the voice of Yuffie who tried to mimic the way Mr. Wallace sounded when he ordered Cloud around

"Don't go around sounding like that evil man" Cloud said frowning at Yuffie's joke

"Come on I only did it so you could smile more, you're always so gloomy. Aeris doesn't need a gloomy boyfriend" she said sticking her tongue out at him as a vein appeared on his forehead

"I suddenly have the urge to strangle you" Cloud said making Aeris laugh "And how could you say something like that when your boyfriend doesn't even show a damn emotion!" Cloud exclaimed as everyone turned to Vincent who had that same stoic and unreadable expression he was known for as he just shrugged in reply

"Alright ya little jerks, time to get on the bus!-" Came Mr. Highwind's voice

"We have THIS guy as a chaperone?" Cloud exclaimed throwing his hands in the air in exasperation making everyone around him laugh

"You trying to run laps around this bus before we leave, Strife?" Cid asked Cloud

Cloud didn't answer he just waited for Cid to speak up again

"All the guys line up on this side, lady's this side" Cid directed with his hand as the students did as they were told all the while talking amongst one another "Alright O-" Cid was cut short

"Come on Mr. Highwind, do we really have to sit on the bus like this?" some random person call from the group with the guys

"If you guys would just shut the hell up and let me finish speaking then you'd know what I'd say next!" Cid said angrily since these kids were burning his fuse...and that fuse was really short "Once you get on the bus I don't care where you move your seat. Just make sure you don't bug me" He said as he got on the bus and everybody followed soon after

After everyone was sitting down the bus driver asked if everyone was ready to go

"Ready?" Cid called back to the class when suddenly somebody yelled out

SWITCH!

Everyone got up and moved around it was really chaotic, people falling, flipping over chairs…the whole nine yards

Cloud ended up next to Vincent and slapped his forehead as Vincent just gave him a bored look

Aeris sat next to Biggs who bombarded her with questions about Cloud

Yuffie was next to Tifa which wasn't bad for her so I guess she got lucky

SWITCH!

Once again everyone started to scramble about

Cloud ended up next to Biggs, it was like his worst nightmare

'Hell no!' Cloud yelled to himself "SWITCH!" he then decided to yell for himself as everyone did as told and scrambled

Cloud was now next to Cid and shrugged his shoulders when Cid turned slowly towards the young man to reveal his pissed face. Cid grabbed Cloud by the collar and then stood up holding Cloud

"I dare somebody to say switch again!" Cid challenged as everyone was then quiet "I thought so." He said and then tossed Cloud into the nearest open seat "Oh and here's a thought, 'Bus accident on the way to the Gold Saucer, Mysteriously the teenagers bodies are missing but the bus, the chaperone and the bus driver come out unscathed'" He said to the children as everyone's face paled and he sat down

"I cant believe he's allowed to say stuff like that" The person next to Cloud spoke up until he realized it was a voice that he knew all too well, it wasn't Biggs…no it was someone else who knew how to Push his buttons it was

"Yuffie!" He said in an exasperated sigh as he slapped his forehead with his hand and Yuffie grinned like crazy

"Hey Vincent" Aeris said cheerily even though she was feeling uncomfortable

"Hey…" he trailed off as he picked up a book

'Great' Aeris thought to herself sadly since she really wanted to sit next to Cloud

So as it turned out no one got to sit next to who they really wanted to sit next Tifa was stuck next to Rude who had an undeniable crush on Tifa, but she paid him no mind as she had her eyes on Cloud who was just a row in front of her…

"Cloud…" She trailed off sadly to herself as she heard Yuffie ask him a question about Aeris

"What do you mean you didn't kiss her yet?" Yuffie asked a little too loudly making Cloud put his hand over her mouth

"What are you? Stupid?" He asked her as he glared at her "And don't you dare lick my palm" He threatened making her pout since her escape plan was foiled

'Cloud' Tifa thought sadly as the fact that he and Aeris were really going out really hit her hard

After a long time of driving the bus finally stopped at its destination and all the students got off the bus along with their unwilling chaperone. Mr. Highwind led the way through

"Hey aren't you supposed to be like a guide or something!" Somebody called out from the group of kids

"Alright who did it?" Cid suddenly stopped and turned around as everyone's faces suddenly went pale "Too chicken shit I see" Cid declared while chuckling darkly "This here is North Corel…now get your asses on the gondola!" He yelled as everyone ran on

"Why do we have the chaperone from hell?" Cloud asked no one in particular

The teenagers sat in their desired seats all except for a certain person name Cloud strife who had to sit in the front in a separate seat from everyone because Cid heard the that chaperone from hell crack on him

"You're lucky I don't have you do pull ups on the gondola cable, and then pull yourself all the way to the Gold saucer" the coach said while folding his arms and going to sleep in his seat waiting for the gondola to reach it's destination

Cloud sat in his seat with his arms folded across his chest glaring daggers at Cid until he got tired of it and turned around to look over his seat to see that the rest of the seats were set up like the inside of a school bus. Everyone was asleep at the time since the ride on the gondola was a slow one…Cloud was about to sit back down correctly until his eyes fell on a pair of emerald eyes that was wide awake.

Aeris smiled at Cloud and then suddenly he was sitting back in his seat facing forward when suddenly her phone started to ring 'Who's this?' she questioned to herself curiously as she pulled out her phone from her jacket pocket, it was Cloud.

"Cloud?" She questioned in a hush voice on the phone so she wouldn't wake her sleeping Classmates

"Hey…" He trailed off

"What's wrong?" She asked

"Well, I was wondering why such a beautiful lady was sitting by herself on this long ride"

Aeris blushed before she would answer back "Well…I didn't want to sit next to anybody else…if they weren't you" She said back into the phone as she got no response. Aeris was scared because she didn't know if she said the right thing since Cloud was not responding to her. That is until she felt some one tap her shoulder

"Then I guess that means you wouldn't mind if I took this seat then" Cloud said with a small smile as he startled the young brunette

Aeris smiled back a wide smile. She was very happy he was next to her at the moment but suddenly her face dropped into one of pure horror as Cloud sat down next to her and rested his head on her shoulder

"Hey what if Mr. Highwind catches you!" She whispered as Cloud just shrugged

"That guy is out like a light, just like everyone else" The blond said nonchalantly while shrugging his shoulders

"I guess you're right" Aeris said thoughtfully as she calmed down and rested her head on top of Cloud's for a nice blissful moment that would last about five minutes until spiky lifted his head off her shoulder and stared straight into her beautiful green orbs with his own blue ones

"Can we pick up where we left off?" Cloud asked her with his stare never dropping

Aeris looked away from Cloud and blushed "Do you even have to ask…idiot"

She received a smile from the boy as she was still looking away from him shyly

"Well then, here I go" He declared as Aeris turned to him and closed her eyes while Cloud slowly took her hand into his and moved in for the kiss only to stop just a mere inches away to the point where Aeris could feel his body heat from being so close

After a minute of no fireworks Aeris opened up one eyelid to peek "What's wrong?" she whispered kinda angry that he got her all excited only to keep her waiting

Cloud's turned into one of pure shock as he spoke slowly "I feel…a great amount of killing intent"

Low and behold there was Cid Highwind Standing right behind Cloud pissed with his arms folded "We're here at Gold Saucer, Strife" He said closing his eyes and smirking evilly as he reached for Cloud's collar to drag him back to the front

"So close…" Cloud said to Aeris as he pecked her on the cheek before being dragged away as Aeris touched the spot and then sweat dropped at the pure stupidity in this school

Will Cloud ever get to just seal the deal and kiss Aeris for them being together for the first time?

We'll just have to find out during the senior trip which continues at the Gold Saucer in the next chapter

See ya
