"Aeris! Wake up! You have to be alive! I can hear you holding on…please make it with me…" Cloud said with tears stemming down his face holding her hand.

Slowly, ever so slowly…Aeris's eyes closed tightly. Then, they started to open…

"Cl…ou…Cloud?" She said breathing heavily.

"AERIS! Your alive…I'll save you, you must live! How did you survive? Oh Aeris…why did it have to happen? You are my life's force…I love you more than anything in the world." Cloud said holding her tightly.

"I miss…ed you even th…though I didn't know if I would ever… see you again. I…I…don't know how I lived. I…was in between life and death…Cloud…" Aeris said putting her hand to his face. He saw her stomach was still bleeding…she gently placed her hand on her wound, and it healed.

"What? How could you do that?"

"Hehe…I have always had this power. I can use it rarely though, only when the time is right. I can only use it for myself sadly too…I have never done it before. I feel fine…" Aeris said looking up at Cloud and smiling. "The only problem is I can't feel…my legs…"

"Aeris, I'll take you somewhere to get help! Oh Aeris I am so glad your alive…I don't know how I could have lived without you. I can never express my love for you, and I want to be with you forever…"

"Cloud, we will. You made my life too…what was keeping me alive was you…I had nothing else…but you. I love you too…no, it's more than love. I can't say it either…I could never tell you how much I loved you. Let's go…to somewhere and get help." Aeris said running her hand through his spiky golden hair.

She couldn't get up, so she gently put her hand on the back of his neck and pulled herself and him closer. She gave him a soft kiss that let him know that they would never be apart again…tears ran down both their faces. To be together again…it was what they had lived for.

They sat there for a bit and just held each other.

"Let's go Aeris, I'll go get Tifa."

"Tifa? Who is Tifa?"

"What do you mean? Don't you remember? Tifa, your friend! The girl at the bar? You haven't lost your memory have you?"

"I…I don't know, I don't remember Tifa…maybe I will remember her once I see her…"

"Yes…I know you will." Cloud said knowing he wasn't really sure. There was a good chance Aeris had lost her memory. But how did she remember him?

"Cloud!" yelled Tifa, "Did you find her? I got the materia that was Aeris's…it wasn't easy."

"Tell me later Teef, I…I found Aeris."

"…" Tifa was silent. She was so happy she couldn't breath nor speak. She couldn't believe it. A tear ran down her face.

"Tifa, I know your happy, but there is something I must tell you. Aeris…doesn't remember you. She might when she sees you, but there is a good chance she doesn't remember anything…except herself and me for some reason.

"What? No! That can't be…"

"I'm sorry Tifa…I'm sure it will come back to her in a while…"

"But I want it to come back now! Don't you understand? Aeris may have been the love of your life, but she was my best friend! I don't want to loose her as much as you do! And she remembers you and not me…that makes me feel like she didn't want to remember me…and you don't even care."

"I do care! More than you think! Aeris didn't hate you! I'm sure she wanted to remember you just as much as me…you were just as important. I really do understand."

"Cloud…let me see Aeris." Tifa cried softly and thought Cloud was telling a complete lie. But she knew inside Aeris cared about her. The part she didn't like was that Cloud said he cared. She thought he didn't at all.

"Aeris! Aeris! You're alive! I knew you were…" She hugged Aeris tightly.

"I…I…don't remember you…are you Tifa?" Aeris said not really hugging her back.

"Aeris…you don't remember…when you were trying to remember, did you ever even think of me? I thought of you everyday…try to remember…" Tifa said sobbing

"Tifa…I knew of someone with long brown hair…that's it…I…I will try to remember, but it won't work…but I promise you Tifa, I will remember. For you." Aeris said giving her a hug back.

"Aeris…I will help you remember. Not only for me, but for you…let's go…"

"Thank you" Aeris said smiling at her.

Later, they found Aeris had partial amnesia. She could walk, eventually, but had to stay at the hospital for a few weeks. Cloud and Tifa visited regularly. Tifa would sometimes even sleep there, (she got special permission from the doctors, poor Cloud didn't ;_;) telling Aeris what happened in her life. All Aeris remembered was her name, how she acted, her Cetra powers, Cloud, and that she had a church and sold flowers. Tifa told her about Elmyra, herself, how she got down to that lake, and everything else there was to know. One day, Aeris remembered some.

"Tifa, was Elmyra my step-mother?"

"Yes, how did you know that?"

"I just all the sudden remembered."

"Do you know anything else?"

"Yes! I know about everthing!"

"Everything?"

"Well, maybe not everything…but, I partly remember you!"

"Only partly?"

"Sadly, yes…I know I will regain me memories soon though, I know it" Aeris said in the cheerful way she always did.

After about a week or two, Aeris finally remembered everything, including Tifa. She was able to return home. In Nibelhein. With Cloud, her love, and Tifa, her best friend.

"Cloud! I am home! I'm never leaving again!" Aeris cried

Cloud embraced her, "Aeris, do you remember everything?"

"Everything."

"Aeris, before we get completely comfortable, there is some things me and Tifa kinda wanna find out…you don't mind?"

"Of course not" Aeris said and they all sat down at the table.





Hey about the Aeris amnesia thing…I don't know why I added that! Lol, and there is going to be not happy parts still (no dying from any character though, phew) I hope Aeris's sort of resurrection was good. It will be explained more in the next chapter. *hands out popcorn* stay tuned! ^.~
