Aeris got up the next morning and set on her way towards Nibelheim…

Cloud…

She loved him so much.

One reason why she died, it was for him…to save him…to let him have a chance to live…

She took her Princess Guard and made her way out of the Ancient City…

She travelled through the thick forest, which now glowed with emerald light and climbed mountains which were blanketed in a silver splendour down to a small village…

Isn't Bone village supposed to be here???

She found herself in a small village full of small hay and wood huts…

Where is this place???

"Kupo!" a small moogle ran out of one of the huts…"Kupo Kupo!"

"How cute…" Aeris cooed..

The fuzzy little creature had a red pom pom on it's head. It looked so cuddly and warm…It was only as tall as Aeris' knee…

An older Moogle with a beard and a cane came walking up to Aeris…

"Kupo Kupo Ku- Ku Kupopo?" he asked.

(What business do you have here?)

"How can I understand you??" Aeris asked.

I gave you the power to understand and speak the language of all species…

Planet?

Just another gift child..

"Thank you…"Aeris said softly…

She turned to the waiting moogles…

"Kupo…Ku-po…Kup-I-po!" Aeris told the Moogles..

(My name is Aeris…I'm the last of the Cetra…I need to go to Nibelheim…)

"Kupo?" asked the old moogle pulling out his glasses.

(Aeris? Cloud's love?)

"KUPIPO???? Kupo Kupo Kupo!" Aeris cried shocked.

(Cloud's love? Did I hear you right???)

Cloud loves me?

'Kupo Kupo…" asked the elder Mog.

(Yes…you need a ride to the other continent?)

"Kupipo, Kupo ku----po!" said Aeris politely…

( that would be nice…can you get me there?")

"Kup-Kupo Ku Ku po!" said the elder.

(Yes we can…the ship leaves at dawn you may stay for the night here Miss.Aeris.)

"Kupopo." Thanked Aeris.

(Thank you…)

"Kupo-Ku Ku Ku Kupiko." said the elder.

(You can sleep in the hotel hut…by the way my name is Kupiko…)

"Kupopo…" said Aeris.

(Thanks…)

Aeris walked among the streets of the village…she played with a few of the baby moogles…she jump roped with the little moogles…and cleaned some of the moogles' homes…She wanted to repay them for their kindness…for tomorrow they were going to take her home to Cloud…

Cloud was in his room tossing and turning in bed…

Tifa…is my girlfriend now…

But…why am I feeling so bad…

Aeris…Aeris…

He looked out his window…

He had become closer with Tifa now…they only talked and they held hands…not much yet…

But he still missed Aeris…

He gazed at the stars…

Where are you?

Are you mad at me?

Did you ever love me?

He realized…Aeris had never said the three words to him…what if what he wanted with her maybe was only a one way street…she might not even feel the same…

At least with Tifa I know that she loves me…

Cloud looked at the flowers outside…

But…why do I feel so confused…?

Tifa loves me…

But I feel…I still love Aeris…but those feelings may never be returned…

I…don't know…what to do…
