So what was to happen now? Did life get this good? It is not possible. Life isn't really this accepting and fair. Life isn't this way, and it never was. But will it be? Will I change? Will I live happily and content for the rest of my days? I'm not sure, I wish it were true, but it isn't.

That was the question on all their minds. Cloud's life he had not even known of, and was still finding it out. Tifa had always been worried and scared, living in the slums. Aeris had been happy, but she said to "Cetra", so she was chased down by Shinra, and by another person whom she didn't know. Also, she never really knew her real parents. But now, within a day, all was good.

1 This isn't possible…

Aeris went downstairs to tell Elmyra. Elmyra was cooking dinner and wasn't looking at Aeris, and not paying much attention until Aeris had said something…

"Mom, I found someone…A guy, maybe, I could go live with…and be happy, but still continue to sell flowers…please don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I" Aeris couldn't finish because Elmyra started to talk.

"Aeris, are you sure you would leave me? Leave the house? For a guy? If you must I support your decision, and always know that I love you…" Elmyra said with tears coming down her eyes.

"Please don't cry, I love you too, and I will think of you everyday, but I cant stay here forever." Aeris started to cry too.

"I know Aeris, you are 22 now…you should make your own decisions, and I will think of you constantly. Good-bye Aeris" Elmyra said with tears running down her face but with a smile. She went over to Aeris, and gave her a hug.

"Good-bye Mom…I love you" Aeris started to cry harder, no louder, just thinking of being apart from someone you loved and had lived with all your life, made her sad. But she was glad her step-mom was happy. She had to do this.

They hugged each other for a while and let go. They gave one last sad, but happy, and wonderful look at each other. And then Aeris walked out the door with a happy but sad wave, which Elmyra would never forget. She thought she may never see her again, but she was glad she knew she was happy. They both thought that, but would be sad to be apart. They wished each other the best, and to have a good life.

Aeris ran to Cloud, who was walking to Aeris's house.

"Let me come with you!" She shouted.

"Whoa, hold one, I would let you, but what about Elmyra?"

"She'll be alright. I promise" She talked in that cheerful way she always did.

Later, they went to get Tifa. They set out altogether to find a new life together. But, as they knew, life was never going too be happy all they way through. I can't be, because then it would be no life at all. But this shouldn't have happened…

They soon found a small place with shells for houses. They went there for a while, and one day they woke up and Aeris was gone.

Aeris was up on a platform, praying. She had had a dream, an indescribable one. But it told her to do this. So she thought she must.

Tifa and Cloud went looking for her. They soon found her there, looking so beautiful, just praying. Just sitting, praying. Then the most terrible thing could have happened.

Aeris looked up with a smile, with a gesture to say, "I love you". But then a man in a black cape swooped down, stabbing her with his long pointy sword. With his evil Eyes.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! AERIS! NO!!! WAKE UP!" They both screamed.

The man was standing there laughing.

"How…how could you? Aeris can no longer laugh, cry, smile…or live…I won't believe it…no…my eyes burn, my throat is dry…why? Why this girl? Why…" Cloud said yelling but could hardly speak he was crying so hard.

Tifa stood there, white as a sheet. She didn't move. She didn't breath. But one tear rolled down the side of her face. But nothing else came. Images of Aeris living were flashing though her mind, making her want to take Cloud's sword and kill herself just to be with Aeris again. Aeris…is… she could not say it. She could not speak. She went over to Aeris, knelt down, and cried. She cried with Cloud until their eyes were their eyes felt like they were on fire.

"No…Aeris…I love you…" Cloud cried kissing her cold forehead.

"I just woke, realizing, you are what made me happy. You were my life. You were my life's string holding it together. I just woke up…" Cloud said quietly to Aeris, although she could not here him. Or so he thought…

"I…I…Lo…ov…love…yu…you…too…take care of…e…each…oth...other guys…good by…bye…" And that was it. That sentence would haunt them for their lives. They would never forget what Aeris had said. Her last words, said so sad, but as saying it to tell them that it's ok. I love you too, take care of each other guys, good-bye.

Aeris was gone.

Cloud brought her out to the lake, and kissed her still warm lips. But he felt her get cold, when he let her go. Slipped his hands from her back, with her sinking into the depths of that little lake. Looking as if her hand were reaching out to him as she floating down. Tifa and Cloud sat and said nothing but cried for they rest of the day.

Aeris was dead. Never to return.

;_; Now my story will make me cry! WAH! This chapter is so sad…I have to make it happy again. Somehow everyone! So don't leave yet! But I can't spoil what will happen! ^_~ But you can still be sad…we must grieve over poor Aeris…wahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *brings flowers to her funeral* *sniffle*
