All Aeris could remember was falling to the ground, now she was bruised and battered but strangely comfortable, she knew that she was no longer lying on the ground. She forced her eyes open and tried to look around. Her vision was quite blurred, she managed to make out that she was in a bed in a room with mid-night blue walls; she saw a face starring down at her. She gasped and opened her eyes fully, pushing herself up in to a sitting position. Even though she was tired and bruised badly, a smile graced her lips. "Tseng, its you, its really you," she said gently "Yes, now Aeris please lye down, you need to rest," he said back "No, it's been so long since I've seen you," She protested "Well at least drink this," he said passing her the cloudy like liquid known as an Elixir. She drank it; her bruises started to fade away and she regained control of her sight. She stared at him longingly, he hadn't changed a bit. Except for the way he dressed, he no longer wore his suit instead he was dressed in jeans and a baggy blue shirt. " There, are you okay?" he asked looking at her; she had grown so much she was now a very beautiful young women. Aeris nodded. "It's been a long time since I've seen you," Tseng started "Yeah," Aeris replied "Look, I think that I owe you an apology," he said looking down at the ground "The way I acted to you and your friends was terrible, and the last time we spoke I was horrible to you," "Please, that's the past now," she said remembering the conversation she had with Cloud about putting things that happened in the past behind them. Aeris looked around some more "Where am I," she asked, with the joy of seeing him again she had not realized she didn't know where she was, "This is my house, its hidden in the mountains of Wutai, I found you collapsed over near the shore," He explained Aeris nodded. "Would you like any food or drink," he asked "No thank you, but, if its okay, I'd like to take a shower," she asked "Of course, its just down the hall, I'm going to bed, we'll catch up tomorrow, Good night," He said standing up and walking out of the room, Aeris looked over at the clock on the wall, it was 1:25 am, "Poor Tseng having to stay up late for me," she thought.

Aeris followed his instructions to the bathroom and turned on the shower, she unbuttoned the top buttons of her dress and pulled it up over her head, she took of her underwear and Jewellery, undid her plat and climbed in to the shower. "How am I going to tell him," she thought as she washed her hair, she decided to worry about that in the morning, she was just happy to have finally found him.

Vincent opened his eyes, it was almost dawn. He looked down at the sleeping Yuffie in his arms. He smiled and kissed her head gently so he wouldn't wake her. He pushed some of her hair out of the way so he could see her face, she was so incredibly beautiful. He wanted so much to caress her curvy body, he resisted. She was young and he didn't want to rush her, he didn't want to seem like an older man that was taking advantage, He loved her, he truly did. He tried to think about Lucrecia, but all he thought was "Yuffie's so much more beautiful than Lucrecia," and "When Yuffie holds me it feels warm and safe where as Lucrecia was cold and dangerous," She never wanted to return Vincent's embrace, it was always "I must go and see Hojo now," or "Stop it, I'll tell Professor Hojo," Vincent smiled, "you really loved him didn't you, now I know that I love her, so were both happy aren't we," he whispered to the dead scientist. Yuffie shifted in her sleep and ended up rolling on top of Vincent. He blushed and tried to roll her down so she was lying by his side again, her lying on top of him was too much for his "self-control" to handle. She yawned and sat up, "Good morning, Vince," she said cheerfully "Good morning," he replied " I had the strangest dream, it felt so real, you, me, Aeris, Red XII, Cait Sith and the others (meaning Barret and Cid) were all at this church and Tifa was all dressed up and stuff," she said, it sounded a little muddled, but Vincent managed to get the drift. "That was nice," he said sitting up next to her. "Oh yeah, and then this chocobo took over the world," she finished "Oh.Okay, that's not so nice," he said sounding more confused. "I need some more sleep I think," she said pushing Vincent down so she could get comfortable, she yawned then drifted off back to sleep. Vincent decided to get some more sleep too. He wanted to get the most of the time they had together, he realized that they could not be this close to each other while the rest of AVALANCE were around.

Aeris sat at the dressing table in Tseng's spare room; she plated her hair and took her ribbon she tied it around the top of her hair. She stood up and looked around, Her bag was over near the bed, Tseng must have found it and bought it too. She picked it up and started rummaging around in it; she pulled out a light pink dress. It was like her old one, it also had a lace over coat to go with it (Like Rinoa's but more delicate and pretty.). She tied the back of her necklace up, checked the mirror one more time and left the room. She was almost running across the hall and down the stairs. She walked into the kitchen. Aeris smile faded as she saw a women sitting at the table, she had dark blonde hair tied in to a ponytail, and a wisp of hair covering one of her dark brown eyes. "Hi, I'm Rocha Harren, I've heard all about you," she said turning to Aeris, Aeris felt a sharp pain stab her heart, Harren was Tseng's Sir name, at first she thought it could have been his sister at first but then she noticed a picture of there wedding day on the wall. Aeris stood there silent. "Aeris did you sleep well, I suppose Rocha already introduced herself," Tseng said as he entered the room, Aeris turned to him and tried to speak. "Uh. yes, how long have you been married," Aeris stuttered trying to keep the pain on the inside. "Too long," Tseng thought to himself. "5 years, we met when he was a Turk, when he had a decent job and could provide for me," Rocha said giving Tseng a dirty look." How long have you known each other?" she said wanting to change the subject. "19 years, we met in Midgar, Tseng tried to kidnap me when I was 3," Aeris said with a laugh, it wasn't funny but all her emotions were getting mixed up. "Yes I'm sure it's a very interesting story, but some people have to work around here!" Rocha said standing up, she glared at Tseng again and pushed past. "Good Bye," Aeris said politely "Yeah, See ya," With that Rocha slammed the front door and set off to work. "She's uh. Nice," Aeris lied, for the first time in her life she felt jealousy. "No Aeris she is not nice," Tseng said as he turned around and left the room, Aeris followed him. "What do you mean, don't you love her anymore?" Aeris said now feeling the anticipation that comes when you think that maybe the jealousy is to be removed. Tseng stayed silent and walked up the stairs, He turned round and faced Aeris who had stopped following him, "Are you coming?" he said Aeris nodded and ran to catch up with him. "No, she married me for the royalties and money of being a wife of a Turk, I confused Greed for Love." He said not stopping; they turned a corner and walked into his room. "But, how could someone be like that," Aeris said sitting down on his bed, Aeris was innocent and did not understand the darkness in the world, one of the down sides of being an Ancient. Tseng sighed, "I only realized it when I wanted to start a new life, and she was furious, she had already spent all the money she was given as compensation of my death," He bent down and pulled his suitcase out from under the bed and put it down next to Aeris. "What are you doing?" she questioned "Packing, I'm going to start another new life, without her, want to help pack?" He said opening his wardrobe. "Yes okay, but why now?" She asked as she opened one of his draws and tipped the clothes inside in to the suitcase. "Seeing you again, I remembered all the pain I had caused and realized that I hadn't made a new start at all, I was hurting Rocha by remaining in this loveless marriage, I want to make people happy not miserable," He said folding a shirt into the pile he had made. "Seeing me again reminded you of pain!" Aeris pouted "No, not at all, that's the past isn't it we put it behind us last night didn't we?" He said stopping his packing for a second, Aeris nodded, "So we can be friends again, right?" "Right," he nodded in agreement They stared at each other for a moment, Aeris blushed and looked away, "Looks like your all packed, uh.Tseng?" Aeris started "Yes, is something wrong?" he replied "Um..Well..If its okay.. I mean you don't have to but.. Could I please come with you, where ever you're going?" she said staring at the ground; she desperately wanted to buy more time with him. "Oh of course, I wasn't going to leave you with Rocha, and we have to get reacquainted don't we," He said sounding surprised she even asked. Aeris smiled, "Great I'll get my bag," She said running out of the room, she got her bag and ran back. Tseng was sitting on the bed; he was putting the paint he wore in the middle of his forehead on, Aeris giggled to herself, She tiptoed over quietly, and pounced on him, his hand dodged rubbing the paint all over his face. "Hey, look what you've done," He laughed, he grabbed Aeris and pinned her down, he put his hand in the special paint and made dots all over her face,

"Noo, stop it," She said giggling and (lightly) punching him in the chest. They found themselves staring at each other again, this time it was Tseng that looked away, he released Aeris. "Hehehe, come on lets wash this off," He said standing up and helping Aeris up. They cleaned it off and Tseng reapplied it properly, with out the help off Aeris. Aeris smiled to herself, it was good, they were acting like they did before they became enemies, Tseng would always play games with Aeris whenever she got captured, where as the other Turks just shouted at her, Tseng was always surprised when Aeris would escape, she was smarter than they thought. Aeris walked back into his bedroom, His wedding ring was on the pillow. He picked up his and Aeris's bags, "Ready too go?" "Tseng, are you sure I want to do this?" she said He stared at her and smiled, "Yes, I'm sure this is what I want to do,"

A/N: bit of a bad chapter, I think it seems a little rushed. Please R&R Next Chap: More Y/V How's things with Tifa and Cloud, do they know where they are yet. No information involving Barret, Cid, Red XII or Cait Sith, they don't really matter.
