Together Forever
Chapter 2
After the encounter at the bar Aeris returned home to her loft, that Reno had helped her get. It wasn't much but it was better than living on the street.
Aeris then sat on her bed and let out a long sigh, she just couldn't stop thinking about Sephiroth he was certainly attractive and-
"Wait!, I've just met the guy and…Cloud." Aeris said aloud to herself
"It's only been 3 months…" Aeris began a conversation with herself
"What's 3 months?" Aeris shrugged
"…A lot" Aeris said putting her face in her hands
"W-what if something happened to him?" Aeris began to think worriedly
The thought had never occurred to her, maybe Cloud knew he was going to get caught and he didn't want to her to be put into any danger. The thought made Aeris uneasy she felt as if she was going to cry.
"Cloud…come back to me…" Aeris whispered about to break , until a knock at the door disturbed her a bit.
Clearing her throat Aeris replied.
"Yes, who is it?" Aeris said standing next to the door.
When know one replied, Aeris opened the door.
"Sephiroth?!" Aeris said a little taken back
"Ah yes, Ms. Aeris it's a pleasure to see you again." Sephiroth said offering a hand
"H-how did you know-" Aeris cut short
"Where you live? Sephiroth said finishing her sentence, as he leaned against the frame of the door.
Aeris nodded, keeping her blushed face hidden with her hand.
"The young man at the bar told me…what was his name uh Reno I think." Sephiroth said trying to look at Aeris's expression.
"What? Reno" Aeris said almost yelling.
She was going to kill Reno for telling a stranger where she lived, yet some part of her was thrilled.
"Well, anyway let me get to the point, I wanted to invite you to a dinner I'm holding at the Cherryvale Inn." Sephiroth said giving Aeris a card.
"Huh? But why, you barely know me." Aeris said a bit nervous.
"Let's just say there's something about you that I'm interested in." Sephiroth said flashing his bright aqua-colored eyes.
"A-and what would that be." Aeris replied trying to keep her cool
Sephiroth gave her a confused stare then began to chuckle a little.
"What? What's so funny?" Aeris said a little started at Sephiroth's sudden laughter session.
"You my dear, all I want is to get to know you better, you seem like a nice person." Sephiroth said crossing his arms.
Aeris looked at the floor with a crooked smile, a little unsure if she should go to this dinner, she just met this guy today!
"What's wrong? You have nothing to be uneasy about…I don't bite" Sephiroth stated with a charm that could make any woman fall into his arms.
Aeris turned around, so not to see his face.
"I'll think about it" Aeris said still facing away from Sephiroth.
"Great I hope to see you there." Sephiroth said beginning to leave
Aeris sighed until she felt breath on her neck.
"Oh yeah, wear something nice if you do decide to come." Sephiroth whispered in Aeris's ear making her shudder a bit.
"Bye" Sephiroth said seductively as possible, and with that he left.
Aeris turned around slowly and closed the door. She fell to her knees and held her flower pendent close to her heart .

Cid took his work gloves off and set them to the ground, as he lit a cigarette as he did so he was greeted by a familiar face.
"Hey kid, what's happening?" Cid said addressing Cloud's presence.
"What's up Cid? Well I just wanted to say bye." Cloud said carrying a bag full of stuff.
"So you're finally going after her?" Cid said smiling a bit
"Yep…it's really going to happen…I can't wait to see her." Cloud smiled looking at the sky.
"I hope everything turns out well." Cid said shaking Cloud's hand
"Thanks Cid…for all you've done." Cloud replied with gratitude.
"Hey, don't talk like this is the last time, go get your girl and maybe if your lucky come back with a kid or two. Cid laughed aloud.
Cloud blushed a little.
"Well maybe not with a kid but we'll definitely come back…together." Cloud smiled as he began to depart.
"Good luck kid, and be careful out there." Cid waved goodbye
"Bye Cid." Cloud waved back and left for the airport.

"A toast to the long forgotten demise of Aeris and Cloud." Tifa said hold her glass into the air
"Good riddance to bad rubbish." Zack said finishing Tifa's toast.
The happy couple laughed as they drank from their wine glasses.
"What a couple of fruitcakes." Reno mumbled to himself.
Their laughter came to a complete halt when Tifa glued her eyes to the entrance of the bar. Aeris opened the door and was shocked to see the two staring right at her.
"A-Aeris?!" Tifa exclaimed in shock.
"Oh no…" Was all Aeris could say…
Authors Note- Oh no what will happen? Should I keep going?
