Ughh…Where am I?
A woman in a pink dress slowly got up groggily…her long honey brown hair was matted and wet…she opened her eyes…
She was in the Ancient City….next to a shell like structure by the glistening lake…
"Planet...? Why am I here? I thought I…"
Died? Yes you did…but I knew how much you wanted to
live…so I gave you a second chance…
'Thank you…"
A green glow emerged and slowly materialized to 10 Hi Potions, a tent, a new set of clothes and a knapsack…also her Princess Guard appeared…
These are the necessities I thought you might have
needed…
"Thank you Planet…for this chance…"
"I will…"
The Planet stop speaking as Aeris gathered up her items and changed into her new clothes…the usual pink dress and red vest. She packed her new belongings into her knapsack…
She picked up her staff and made her way to one of the shell like structures in the City…
There she put down her load and settled into one of the beds..
She needed a rest…before she was going to go…
She didn't know where to go…she couldn't go to Midgar…it was destroyed…
She knew where she wanted to go…
She wanted to find Cloud…
A pang stabbed through her…one that hurt more than the cold steel blade of Sephiroth's
Her past shrouded in pain and war…Only one hope left in her life…she had lived day to day in pain…trying to support herself and the ones she loved…who had mostly all died…
She didn't want to hurt anymore…
She wanted to finally be happy…
She decided to go to Nibelheim…if there was anywhere she would find Cloud she thought Nibelheim would be where he would be…
She smiled…
She would be reunited with Cloud soon…and yet…she didn't know of the sorrow she was going to encounter…

Cloud walked to Tifa on the Highwind deck…
"Hey Tifa…"
"Hey Cloud…"
"It's over…we did it…we saved the Planet…" Cloud said.
"I know…what are you going to do…?" Tifa asked.
"I think I'm going to go back to Nibelheim…you?"
"I'll go with you…"
"Thanks…"
"Cloud…can I tell you something???" Tifa asked.
"Yeah…?" Cloud prompted.
"Cloud…we've known each other for a long time…"Tifa began…
"Yea…"
"Do you think…we could be…more…than …friends…?" Tifa said slowly.
"As in boyfriend and girlfriend?" Cloud asked…
"Well…ya…" Tifa said looking at the floor.
Aeris…I love Aeris…but…she's not coming back…
I really want her back but…
I have move on…Just like Barret said…
He looked at Tifa…
I always had a crush on her ever since childhood…
I had always dreamed of this when I was young…maybe I could learn to love her…
"Alright…" Cloud replied…
Her eyes widened…her heart danced with joy…he said…
"YES!" she screamed happily as she threw herself in his arms…
He held her…
He looked to the sky…
…why can't you be here with me…?
