Tifa and Cloud walked hand in hand towards the well

Tifa and Cloud walked hand in hand towards the well…

So many memories here…

He made a promise to Tifa by this well many years ago…

But with Tifa he kept his promise…

He failed to keep his to Aeris…

…and that pain would always hurt him…

Why is this relationship hurting me…?

Why do I still love Aeris…when she's already gone…

He and Tifa sat next to each other on the well…

The stars hung overhead in a beautiful array. Tifa looked into Cloud's eyes…

She gave his hand a gentle squeeze as he squeezed back…

He looked into her eyes…

Tifa…

The stars twinkled up above to the heaven's…

The starlight shone on Cloud and Tifa's faces…magnifying each other's faces…

Tifa moved in…towards Cloud's lips…

************************************************************************

Aeris was smiling….she couldn't help herself…

She ran passed the entrance towards the centre of town…where the well was…

Oh Cloud! We're gonna be together…

I love you…

She ran with tears in her eyes…Happy tears streamed down her face, thinking her troubles were finally over…she wanted to be happy to be with her love…

Her love Cloud…

Her heart soared into the air as she ran…she put all her hopes, her dreams, her love into one thing…

Cloud…

Would he be happy?

Would he hold me?

Would he love me?

She wished for the best…

She was the last Cetra…gentle and innocent, sweet and caring…She died for the planet…no one deserved happiness more than her on the planet…

The world knew that…

She just wanted one thing on the planet…

To be happy…with Cloud…

************************************************************************

Tifa moved forward to Cloud's lips…

And closed her eyes…

Cloud didn't know what to do…

He just let it happen…

Their lips met in a soft kiss…

***********************************************************************

Aeris ran through the town and finally reached the centre of town…

Cloud…where could you be…?

She was so anxious and happy…

She turned looking at his house…thinking he would be in there…she took a step in that direction…

But then she felt the presence of two people…

She looked towards the well….

Cloud..?!?!

************************************************************************

Tifa held Cloud closer kissing him deeper…

************************************************************************

Aeris looked at them in disbelief…

It was Cloud…and Tifa…

"No…oo…"She whispered…

Tears brimmed up in her eyes…

************************************************************************

Cloud heard a voice…A pang of realization hit him…It was a voice he shouldn't be hearing…

It sounded just like…

************************************************************************

Aeris' heart broke with a pain even worst than the one Sephiroth had given her…

Tears streamed down her face…

I'm too late…I was so stupid…what ever made me think that he would want me…

Tears streamed down her face…

A simple flower girl…

Oh Cloud…

I'm sorry…Sorry for coming back when you're so happy…I won't hurt you anymore…

She turned away from them with tear-filled eyes and began walking away quickly…

************************************************************************

"AERIS?!?!?!" Cloud whispered. He broke off the kiss and looked with wide eyes to the direction the voice came from…

He saw a figure in pink walking away….

"AERIS!" he screamed…

Aeris heard him cry her name…

She began to run…

Cloud …you have to be happy…I don't want you to know I'm here…I don't want you to see me…

You love Tifa…

Tears fell like waterfalls…down her petal like cheeks…

And not me…

"AERIS! NO DON'T GO!!!!" Cloud jumped off the well… He looked at Tifa…who was staring with tear filled eyes…

"Tifa…I'm sorry…I…" Cloud began…

"No…Cloud I understand…go to her…" Tifa urged. "It's okay…"

"Thanks Tifa…" He said quickly giving her a small hug… "You're the best!"

Cloud ran into the darkness after Aeris…

She's alive…

I don't want to lose you again…

Please…don't do this to me…
