A/N: I promised I'd write a crossover. It's a combination of FFVII and my all-time favorite book/movie, The Princess Bride. A brief list of characters and places that will be equivalent:
Westley = Cloud
Buttercup = Aeris
Prince Humperdink = Rufus
King Lotharon = Pres. Shinra
Queen Bella = Scarlet
Vizzini = Palmer
Inigo = Tifa
Fezzik = Fezzik
Dread Pirate Roberts = Barret
Miracle Max = Cid
Valerie = Shera
Yellin = Tseng
Count Rugen = Sephiroth
The Albino = The Albino
Roight. On to the story!
Aeris was raised in the slums of Midgar. Her only past-times where tending her flowers and rescuing young men who fell through the roof of her church. Well, young man actually. His name was Cloud, but she never called him that. "Ex-SOLDIER" was all she ever called him, and all he ever responded with was "As you wish." So she was surprised to learn that when he was saying "As you wish," what he meant was "I love you."
Even more surprising was the day she learned that she truly loved him back. However, Cloud had no money for marriage and so he left for Costa Del Sol to make his fortune. It was a very emotional time for Aeris.
"I fear I'll never see you again," she sobbed into his shoulder.
"Of course you will, of course you will," he replied, kissing her forehead.
"But how can you be sure?"
He lifted her face gently. "This is true love. You think this happens every day?"
A week later, she recieved the news that Cloud had been killed by the Dread AVALANCHE leader Roberts. For days she neither slept nor ate. She swore to herself that she would never love again.
Three years later, Midgar's main column was surrounded as never before, to hear their Prince's announcement.
Prince Rufus appeared at a window. "My people, a month from now our city shall build a new sector. On the sundown of the beginning of construction, I will take for my a bride a lady who was once a commoner like yourselves. Would You like to meet her?" The crowd roared an affirmative. "I present to you--the Cetra, Aeris!"
Aeris's emptiness consumed her. Although the law of the land gave Rufus the right to choose his bride, she did not love him.
A/N: That's all for now. Love ya, will continue it very soon. - Desdemona
