Even later that day…

Even later that day…

Tifa returned home after a hard day's work at the bar. Business at 7th heaven was booming and she was always swept off her feet. It was nice to be home and she looked at the house as she entered the gate, she and Cloud shared a large place in the depths of sector 7. It was a large three story white building with a small extension on the side. She was amazed to notice a black sports car parked outside. The shed where Cloud and Cid did their inventing was in need of new paint and probably patching up the bullet holes in the wall would be a nice idea. Cid was always inventing new weapons or defence systems and Cloud loved to try them out. As she unlocked the door she notice that there was a dim light coming from inside. She entered to find that the light was coming from candles place in the living room. She saw rose petals scattered across the floor and there was a note amongst them. It read;

'Dearest Tifa,

I require of you a simple service, put on one of your nice dresses and go and sit in the passenger seat of the sports car outside…

From ?'

She smiled and went upstairs to change. She put on a nice black dress with a cut off top, which showed off her large breasts nicely. She went downstairs carefully in her high heels and locked up before sitting in the passenger seat of the unlocked sports car. She was sitting there for a little while when she began to grow impatient and she said aloud, "what is going on?" Suddenly she felt breathing on her neck and turned to see loud in a tuxedo hiding behind her seat. "God you scared me!" She said, somewhat annoyed.

"Sorry." He replied leaping into the front seat.

"What's with all this then?" Tifa asked curiously.

"What, can't I surprise a beautiful girl every now and then?" He said cooly.

Tifa knew she was beginning to blush and cloud added " I wanted to thank you for being so patient with me."

She seemed startled and replied almost instantly, "Patient, me? I know you've suffered a lot and as your friend I will always be here for you."

"Thank you Tifa" He replied with clear sincerity. Then he lightened the mood, "well lets go!"

Tifa chuckled and said, "where are we going?"

Cloud simply gave her a little wink and said, "that would be telling!"

With that he drove the car to the Highwind, stationed at Cid's new workshop in sector 5. They took the airship to the Gold Saucer where cloud paid for their tickets. They went into the Cable car ride and began to talk as it made its way around the park. The bright lights of the amusement park flashed all around like mutli-coloured fireflies. "Tifa I want to tell you something that I have never even dared to contemplate for more than one moment."

Tifa looked startled by the emotion in her friend's eyes replied calmly. "Please tell me."

Cloud looked up at her and was momentarily startled by her beauty. He took a deep breath and said, "This may sound strange so try to follow it carefully. I want to get over Aeris, I know I do, but it almost seems like my mind won't let me let her go. It's like every time I think about trying to get over it all, the thought is pushed from my mind."

Tifa looked rather confused and said in a bewildered fashion, "I don't fully understand Cloud."

He sighed and said "Although it sounds weird its like my mind won't let me forget her."

This really confused Tifa and all she could say is, "I'll help in any way I can, just name it."

Cloud felt a sudden urge to kiss her, he leant forward but as he did so he saw flashes of Aeris, which hurt his mind. He looked to his left and saw the figure of Aeris sitting in the booth, looking out of the window. She was in the same position as when they had had their date almost 6 months ago. He fell to the floor of the carriage an heard Tifa gasp but it was too late and he spiralled into unconsciousness.
