It has been a few hours now. I can't believe I'm back at Junon. So soon, our trip to Barrets house was just, it just ended. Here I am in a hospital in Junon. Reeve's helicopter took us here. I thanked Reeve.

Cloud looks down from where he is sitting, at Tifa's side he can see her faintly breathing. The doctors told Cloud that they were worried that because of the blow; as well as the shock her body took from the electrocution, one or more organs would fail.

It has been only one month, and already another big fight. Another useless battle, another time one of us is hurt. Tifa I apologize, I do this because I didn't react quick enough, I. I was, in a state of shock. I froze, forgive me.

Cloud digs his head in his hands. As Cloud paused his thoughts, he heard the door open.

"Okay then. The report came in with the analysis on Ms. Lockheart." The doctor walked up to the I.V. He tapped it with two fingers, then looked back at the folder he hand in his right hand. "Everything seems fine. The shock lowered her heart's beating, and caused her to go under momentary state of unconsciousness, since her heart could not bring enough oxygen to he brain. If she took a hit to the head as well, I don't think she would be here with us right now. He looked at Cloud who had his head dug into his hands. "Son, there is nothing to worry about. She'll be fine.

Cloud looked up from his void. "Thank you."

"Well, unless you have any other questions, I will continue checking other patients." The doctor turned around and walked

"I have questions."

The doctor sighed, "Yes?"

"How long? I mean How long till she wakes up?"

"I don't know, just give her enough rest."

"And umm." Cloud scratches the back of his head. "What time is it?"

The doctor annoyingly looks at his watch. "Two A.M."

"Thank Yo-"

The doctor already shut the door behind him.

Cloud let out his air. "Asshole." Cloud mumbled under his breath. Looking back at Tifa, He thought about how it must have been like for Tifa to sit next to him while he was under mako shock.

"I'm sorry Tifa." He looked at her eyes, wanting to see them open. Those red eyes that mean the world to him, he wanted to see them again, but not like this. "I can't believe I even beat Sephiroth." Cloud shakes his head. "I couldn't even stop Reno and Rude."

The heart monitor's constant beeping pierces through Cloud's ear. "I didn't even touch Reno once. I must have been out of it." He looks to his right then back to Tifa. "No! There is no excuse for this!"

Cloud furiously stands up from his seat. Slowly, he made his way to the window. Cloud looked through the horizontal blinds. The night sky was painted blue all over. The moon's shine motioned on the ocean's surface. Cloud then looked at a patch of stars.

"Tifa?" He called out to her knowing she wouldn't answer. "Remember the night I made the promise to you?" he continued looking at the twinkling stars. "I do. I remember thinking you weren't going to come, but you did." He looked at Tifa, her eyes closed, he felt emptiness. "Thank you for actually coming Tifa."

Cloud walks back to his seat. As he sits down, he lays his head on her bed. Cloud's eyes closed. He thought of nothing.

"Psst! Cloud? Are you awake?" A sweet voice rang through Cloud's ears. "Psst!"

"I'm awake, at least now I am." Cloud realized, it was a girl's voice. "Tifa!" Cloud jumped up scratching his eyes, "Tifa are you ok?"

Lina came into his vision. "Hi Cloud."

"Oh." Said cloud disappointed. "I mean. Sorry, I thought you were Tifa, I heard a cute voice, and well I freaked out."

Lina smiled warmly to Cloud. "You think my voice is cute?"

Cloud looked to his bottom right and back up. "Uh. I guess. Yea, I guess I do."

Lina's eyes opened up wider, her green eyes express happiness to what seems like a compliment. "Thanks Cloud!"

Cloud looked at Lina. She still seemed somewhat familiar. "Whatever."

Lina looked at him with a questioning look.

"Oh! No, nothing really, I was just nodding a thought away.

"What thought was that?" she asks curiously

"Umm. Well I thought you might look familiar."

"Oh!" She wondered for a second. "Well maybe I do." She walked to the window and opened the blinds to let in light from what must be day time. "Maybe I don't." She giggled and looked back at him. "I have a secret to tell you."

Cloud's expression shows confusion. "What secret?" Why would she have a secret to tell me? He thought. Cloud looks at the black tank top that he has been wearing for more that a day. Annoyed at the shirt, Cloud tugs on the shirt.

Lina giggles again. She sways from left to right humming a song. With her hand, Lina places on of her two short bangs of brown hair, behind her ear. "It's a secret of a secret."

"Why won't you just tell me then?" Why is she looking at me like that? He thought. "Do I know you or something?"

"No, not really." She sways herself around to look at the window. "The day is beautiful. Its too bad Tifa isn't around right now to see today. She probably would be enjoying it."

Cloud looks at Tifa. "Oh my goodness!" Tifa wasn't there. "Where is she."

"Grabbing her stuff, and signing some papers. She's fine Cloud. Tifa didn't want to wake you up so soon. She should be done by now."

"So why did you wake me up?"

"She asked me too." She smiled and walked up to Cloud. "You ask to much questions Cloud. Learn to pay attention." She pinches his cheek. "Lets go!"

His heart races as he realizes he can look into her eyes again. He nodded and he opened the door for Lina.

"Why thank you sir knight."

"Huh?"

"Your hopeless Cloud."

"Why does everyone say that to me?"
