Um...one thing to keep in mind...'* *' means a year has passed...or the school year is almost over...@_@ Confused yet? Hehe...sorry! ^^;;

"Good morning Tifa! Get up. We have to get ready for school. Zack and Cloud are picking us up."
Tifa whined and turned around, her back facing Aerith.
"Oh come on Tifa! Cloud," When Aerith got to 'Cloud', she emphasized it a bit. "and Zack are going to pick us up! On their motorcycles too! I can't wait!"
"Oh be quiet...I already rode on it...I don't need to ride on it again..." She murmered.
"Aw come on Tifa! We have to go!"
Tifa's eyes popped open and she suddenly sat up in bed, staring at Aerith with a deathly stare.
"Since when were you so excited to ride motorcycles and get to school?"
Aerith giggled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Well...it's Cloud! He's a great guy isn't he? I mean, I just can't wait!"
Tifa wrinkled her brows and groaned. She fell back down on her pillows and pulled the blanket over her head.
"Then why'd you go and have to wake me up? It's too early!!"
Aerith arched up an eyebrow. "What do you mean 'too early'? It's 7:15."
"7:15!? Why didn't you say anything Aery!" Tifa hopped out of bed and dressed into her school uniform. She picked up her schoolbag near her door and left the room to go downstairs and eat her breakfast. Aerith kindly fixed Tifa's bed and walked downstairs to see Tifa washing her dish. Aerith stared at her, surprised.
"You're done already?"
"Are you crazy? I'm not a boy and I don't eat like a pig! I just had a piece of toast..." She replied.
Aerith laughed. "Sorry. It's just that...well I haven't seen you so stressed before."
"Yeah right."
And then they heard someone coming up the front door. Aerith ran over and opened it, revealing Zack and Cloud, holding their helmets against their heads and a spare in their other hand.
"You girls ready or do we still have to wait?" Zack said with humor.
Aerith didn't need to say anything but stuck her tongue out at him, resulting Cloud to laugh. Zack leaned against the door frame and waited as Tifa picked up her bookbag. She stepped outside and dragged Zack along with her, laughing away for Zack started choking when Tifa tugged at his shirt collar harder. Cloud and Aerith laughed as they, too, followed and, without hesitating, Cloud wrapped his arm around Aerith, both following the exultant teenagers.
Zack was waiting for Cloud and Aerith along with Tifa who was sitting behind him, her hands wrapped around his waist. They already had their helmets on but where was Cloud and Aerith? Far away, Tifa finally spotted them. To see, she had to squint but it was clear. They were kissing. Tifa gagged and turned away. Zack nudged her a bit.
"Well? What'd you see?"
"Do you even have to ask. They were lip smackin each other. Need I say more?"
"Hehe...should we leave?"
"You bet!"
And Zack sped off leaving the two "lovebirds" alone.
*
When they arrived to school, Zack parked his motorcycle in the bare parking lot, except for the three other motorcycles that were parked. The only reason it was this bare was because it was their motorcycles...it was their territory. The kids who could drive in the student body parked somewhere else...it was like they worshiped the grounds the five boys walked on. And if they had girlfriends...well...they also worshiped them. They were considered the most popular students in the whole school.
Tifa hopped off the motorcycle and took her helmet off, placing it down. She and the rest of the boys started playing a small game of basketball until Cloud and Aerith arrived. Tifa and Reno were playing wildly and it was no wonder they were on the same team. However, Vincent and Sephiroth weren't too violent considering that there was a girl playing.
* *
"Before our seniors go, we, the school staff, want them to have one whole week camping, so to speak, with anyone in this school. I would like to say that this is just a parting gift before they leave and spend some time in college." The principal said through the intercom. Then he continued, "So...it shall work this way. Any senior will gather one, and I only mean one, person to bring with. Those two people can group up with six other students. No more, no less. Then, I will see to it that you are able to go where you want to go. If you do anything unsatisfactory, your privilege of "camping out" will be no more. I would like to congratulate the seniors for their exceptional behavior and spectacular effort."
Everyone clapped, especially the seniors. They were rejoicing for they were finally exiting high school. And their rejoicing had gotten louder when they were given the privilege to go wherever they wanted. Cloud, Aerith, and the rest gathered around under a small cherry blossom tree and talked about the places they could go and the person they could take with them.
"Wow! I'm so happy!" Scarlet said happily as she leaned against Zack.
"Ah get off 'em Cherry! We don't got time for puppy love! Geez..." Reno said.
"Hmph! You're no fun! You're just saying that 'cause you don't have a girlfriend!" She retorted.
Reno grumbled as everyone laughed.
"I think," Aerith said. "That we should go to the Wutai woods. I heard it's great there! I mean, once you get to the cliff, the view is spectacular!"
"Then there we should go." Cloud replied, everyone agreeing.
"Then who are we gonna take with us?" Vincent questioned.
"Are you dense?" Aerith said with a slight anger. "We're taking Tifa! She likes being outdoors and she's my sister!"
All nodded and headed over to the principal's office. They scheduled the time, place, and the person who they were taking with them and everything was set. All they had to do now was pack up.
And that's just what they did.
*
"Ah! It's so pretty! Hey! Look at that squirrel over there!"
They all laughed as Tifa's perky self was starting to surface. They continued walking down the woods as the sun shined through the tree's leaves and the birds chirped away. Along the path, everyone was so struck with awe with their surrounding that they had no idea that the road was starting to go seperate directions. Zack, Reno, Tifa, and Cloud went one way while Aerith, Scarlet, Sephiroth, and Vincent went the other way. It suddenly dawned on them that they were separated. They frantically tried to search for each other but only resulted getting lost deeper into the woods. All gave up and continued walking.
*
"I'm tired you guys..." Tifa muttered softly. She sat down on a rock nearby and took in deep breaths.
Zack walked up to Tifa and kneeled down so they were on eye level.
"Want me to carry you? I will if you want me to." Zack offered.
"Um...no thank you...I'm really not that tired...just...well yeah I'm tired. It's getting dark and the medicine I'm taking is with Aerith."
Reno shook his head. "C'mon...we gotta look for them fast or else we're in deep shit. And as for you Tifa," He said as he also walked over to her and flinged her on his back, putting her arms around his neck. "You're gonna rest. Let me do the walking."
Tifa didn't move for she had fallen asleep already. Zack stood up and the three of them continued to walk.
*
"Oh no!"
"What Aerith?" Scarlet asked, concerned.
"I forgot! Tifa hasn't taken her medicine yet!"
"Oh." Scarlet suddenly lacked in concern.
"Don't worry Aerith." Sephiroth comforted. "I'm sure she'll be fine."
"I hope you're right...I just wish Cloud was here..."
They all shook their heads. Aerith was head-over-heels for Cloud and he hadn't confirmed that they were an official couple yet. But considering Cloud's taste in girls, it wouldn't be too long before he picked Aerith.
*
Ahead of them, Zack found a cave. They ran towards it and once they were inside, their jaws dropped. It looked like the cave was built from crystal. It glowed and reflected upon other crystals making the cave glow with iridescence. At the far back, there was a miniature waterfall with a small pool below it. Cloud saw his reflection in it and beside him, he imaged Aerith smiling. Reno through a pebble in it to see how deep it was, causing the reflection to ripple and fade.
Reno set Tifa down, taking off his jacket he was wearing, and putting it underneath Tifa's head. Cloud took off his own jacket and placed it over Tifa as a blanket while Zack just sat down and rested.
Dark consumed the sky and soft moaning was heard in the cave and whispers and loud noises too. There was the ruffling of clothes that disturbed the night. Tifa tossed and turned, the noise bothering her. She cracked open an eye and gawked. She just had to say something...
"Reno, quit it...you're making too much noise?"
He stopped moaning. "What? I thought you were asleep!"
"I woke up because you were too loud." Tifa replied. "Besides, you suck at scary stories and your imitations of a ghost is horrible."
Reno splashed her with a bit of water in response and Zack and Cloud joined in all the fun.
