Chapter 2
"Cloud, are you sure about this?" Tifa asked as she poured Cloud a cup of coffee.
"Yeah, Tifa. It's something I have to do"
She looked sad at that. She knew that Cloud loved her, only not in the same way he loved Aeris ,the way she wanted him to.She had never disliked Aeris, even though they both liked Cloud. If she couldn't have him though, she thought that Aeris deserved him just as much, or even more so than she did.
"Well, do you need any help? Red XIII will probably be a big help", Tifa finally said.
Cloud was finishing off his coffee. He finished, then said, "Yeah ,he will. Well, do you want to come too? You'll be a big help too, you know." He smiled as he noticed she was blushing. "Well, I'll go find Red."
She got up as he exited the villa, and cleared the table, smiling.
Cloud found Red, who was playing ball with two local youngsters outside of Johnny's house.
After he explained the situation, Red agreed and spoke.
"Well, Cloud, there's a lot about the Cetra there and I guess I could be of some help. I would be overjoyed to have Aeris back, you know."
Any body could tell Red was excited. He was as hyper and excited as when he returned to Cosmo Canyon for the first time since Hojo captured him. Of course, he tried to hide it, attempting to be serious as always, but it showed anyway.
Cloud laughed at his overeagerness, because it reminded him of himself when he first joined SOILDER.
"Well lets go get Tifa and get a move on"
They got Tifa at the villa, packed a few things, and set off into the horizon.
