Light faded into the distance as Avalanche sat around the camp fire. Each member seemed lost in their own thoughts. The twinkling stars looked down upon them as though they were blessing them. Tifa and Cloud were reminded of the night at the wishing well, so many years ago. The youngest member of the group could almost picture the night sky over her home country. The pilot remembered his meeting with the stars, the one when he realized his true dream. Barret looked at the stars and tried to picture his little girl being tucked into bed by Elmyra. As Red X lll looked at the stars, he could remember his grandfather's lessons of the solar system and the worlds' beyond his. Vincent didn't even bother with looking at the night sky, every star with it's twinkling light seemed to be a reminder of his guilt, of the deaths he had caused. The last member of Avalanche looked upon the stars and began to plot them. It would come in handy for fortune telling.
Cait Sith suddenly jumped from his perch on his mog. "Let me tell everyone's fortune!" he cried. "I haven't done that since the temple and I think I'm loosing my touch!" Groans erupted from Avalanche, except for two members. Yuffie jumped up and ran over to Cait.
"Start with me first! I wanna know about the man I'm going to fall in love with!" the ninja said hurriedly. Vincent just remained silent as he watched the fire. Cait began to jump around and dance trying to divine the fortune. After awhile he just stopped and proudly handed her the fortune. Eagerly, Yuffie grabbed the paper and read it. "The one winged angel shall deliver your most prized possession........... What the hell does that supposed to mean, Cait Sith?" she yelled.
"Maybe I'm just still rusty." Cait replied confused himself. "Let me try again." The cat and mog began to dance around again. As he stopped, he handed Yuffie another slip of paper.
"Your true love is tall, dark and handsome................" the princess laughed at the irony of the corny fortune. "I think your still really rusty Cait! Why don't you try to give Cloud and Tifa a fortune?" Cait hopped over to the couple on his mog, and gave them a pouty face. Tifa laughed and gave a pleading look at Cloud, who just sighed and nodded his head. Cait smiled and began his dance. When he finished he announced the results to the couple.
"The good die young, and frogs like water." he said proudly earning strange glares from the entire group. "What? I like that fortune very much......" he said defending his masterpiece. "Fine, I'll do it again. But this time I'm not going to do it for both of you at once. I'll start with Tifa." Tifa shook her head and watched the cat dance around again. Upon finishing, he handed her a slip of paper that read "Your angels are watching over you."
Tifa smiled and read it out loud. "That one was really sweet." she said smiling softly. Cait then began to dance for the last time to give Cloud his fortune. When he gave Cloud the slip of paper, Cloud read it to everyone.
"Something precious, which was lost, will find you once more." Everyone smiled and Cait sat back down. It was really tiring to give out fortunes. It made him really dizzy, even if he as a robot. The Phs broke the night's silence as it began to ring. Cloud swiftly picked it up and turned it on.
"Hello," said a faint voice "........Are you there,..... Cloud?" Cloud shook his head from confusion and answered. It couldn't be who it sounded like.
"Yes, I'm hear." he began. "Who's this?"
"It's me, Aeris."
