"Anything?" A man yells from the entrance of a crushed building.
"No!" Another crew man answers. As he brings up his walkie to ask if anyone has been found, the walkie crackles with someone speaking, "So far nothing, what about you guys?" The crew man lowers his head, he presses the button on the walkie, "Nothing here."
"Cid lets bring it around to the right, he's not around here." Lina said.
Cid mumbles to himself something under his breath, and did what he is told. "Just look for a blonde glacier, if you don't see that spikey head of his then he ain't around!"
Tifa didn't even look at Cid for that coment, she just kept looking. "Lina?"
Lina looks at her, then she looks back to the ocean, "Yes?"
Tifa continues watching, "I just wanted to know how you feel about Cloud." Tifa under normal circumstances, would never ask a question like that. Considering the circumstances, Tifa still didn't believe she asked Lina that, she wouldn't even ask Aeris that. Tifa's eyes narrowed, but realized it was nothing.
Lina didn't know how to answer, "I don't know how to answer that, I like him for who he is, I just don't know if I like him."
"Its okay if you don't want to tell me, but if you do, I won't get mad. I'll tell you something that I never told a single soul." She pauses, "Not even Cloud." Tifa turns to Lina. "I have . been in love with Cloud. for a very long time." Tears start to form at Tifa's eyes. "If I don't find him, I don't know what I would do, I almost lost him so many times, and if it just, no, if I can't see him anymore, I wouldn't want to live anymore." Tears started to sail down her cheeks. Glancing her red eyes back to the ocean, "I want to be with Cloud right now."
Lina stayed quet, she did not know how to act. Lina just knew that when she said she didn't know, what she really meant was, she didn't want to admit to herself that she liked him. Tifa loves him, she thought.
"Hey! Girls come to the cockpit!" The loudspeakers went off.
Lina and Tifa, ran inside the ship, and made their way to the cockpit. It was very lonely there, Cid was by himself. "Yea!" They said in chorus.
"The guys found someone, they think its him. Right now the guy that pilots this when I'm not around, or just don't plain feel like it, is walking to where "Cloud" is to see if that's really him. That pilot remembers how Cloud looks, the rest of the guys are just greenhorns.
Tifa felt a little anxious, she started to pace back and forth, I hope its him, she thought.
When they reached Junon, or whats left of it, they went into the lower town near it.
Tifa saw a group of men hovering over what seemed like a person, without hesitating Tifa ran. When she made it to the group, she shoved a few men out of the way. She looked down, and she smiled. "Cloud!"
He looked up to see her kneeling down next to him. "Your always by my side Tifa." He lay his head down and ran his fingers through her hair. "Are you ok?"
Within that second, she just jumped on top of him and hugged him. "I'm okay now." She said somewhat crying. As she sniffled, Cloud ran his arms around her and hugged her.
"I wanted to see you Tifa, I really did. I'm happy now." Cloud started to sit up, but they continued hugging. He felt this unstoppable urge to do something he never has done before. "Tifa?"
Tifa lets go of him slightly to look at him. Her beautiful red eyes lost into his blue eyes, she stared into the mako green glow he had in his eyes..
"Tifa, I missed you, I swam, and I swam.I swam just so I can see you." A tear formed up at his eye. "I didn't want to leave you like that." He leaned in and kissed her.
The men around them started to cheer. Cloud didn't stop because of them, in fact, he could care less. When Cloud pulled away from her face, He looked into her eyes.
"Cloud? You.you kissed me!" She smiled slowly.
Cloud nodded, admitting that he has never done that. Cloud leaned into her ear and whispered to her. "I love you Tifa."
With tears of joy, she wrapped herself around him. "I'm so glad i can see you again." Then they kissed.
Lina shut her green eyes and stayed back, it bothered her, but she stayed back.
Cloud walked up to the helicopter with Cid, and a few crewmen. He told Tifa and Lina to stay back. "There he is. Reeve."
Cid looked down at him, then kneeled down. Cid just stared at the pool of blood around Reeve's deceased body. "Trapped under the fucking helicopter. I can't believe this." Cid turns to Cloud. "Shit has just hit the fan spikey."
Cloud angled his head to the side. "Why?"
"They haven't named themselves yet, but a corporation formed right under Shinra's nose. Its mostly made up of ex-Shinra." Cid walked up to Cloud, places his hands on Cloud's shoulders. "They are going to try to take over everything. We have to find a leader and quick. Shinra needs to stop whatever these band of assholes are.
A crewman walks up to Cid, "We have one alive sir."
Cid looks at a Shinra soldier on the ground behind his crewman. "Is he okay?"
"He was just unconscience sir!"
"One fucking survivor from the helicopters, none from Junon." Cid walks up to Cloud. "Cloud I need to ask you something later"
"Wait one second Cid! Why did Weapon attack?"
"I don't know. That's just another thing we have to deal with."
Later that night, the Highwind was flying in the night sky, heading to what Cid told Cloud, the new Shinra base of operations. Cloud looked around for Tifa, but found her asleep, he then decided to go to the deck.
When Cloud reaches the deck, he sees Lina there. "Hi Lina." He leans over the railing next to her.
Lina looks at him and smiles. "I'm really glad your okay." She neared herself next to him.
Cloud looked at the land they were passing over, "I think were headed to Midgar. Even though it was destroyed I recognize these mountains."
"Cloud?" Lina looks at him. He looks back at her with a questioning look. "I was kinda worried I wouldn't see you again."
"You were?"
"Yes." She looked down.
"I didn't want to bother you and Tifa. I would be really sad if I didn't see you anymore. Cloud I wanted to know if .", she tried to finish what she was saying, but she couldn't.
"What?"
She started to feel anxious, ".maybe the feeling that we recognize each other, was maybe that, we have some kind of feelings... for each other."
Cloud looked at her, he didn't know what to say, "I don't' know, I . maybe." She is pretty and sweet, I don't know if I like her in anyway or not.
She smiles warmly to him, "I feel like I know you very well Cloud, I wouldn't want to leave your side. It means a lot to me to see you next to me."
He smiled to her, "I'm glad to be around you too."
They then looked out at the ocean and remained quiet for the remainder of the night.
The PHS started to ring, "I'm coming!" Cid yelled running clumsily to it. Dusting off his blue pilot's jacket, "This is Cid" he listens, "What the fuck do you mean they are attacking Wutai? Shit! Umm. we'll try to be there. Defend yourselves for now. Me, Cloud, Tifa, and some chick that looks and acts like Aeris are coming. Yes like Aeris, no shes not Aeris. You remember what happened, now don't say anything about that. Whatever the fuck! I'll bring Shinra soldiers too. Bye Yuffie!" Cid hangs up.
"Fuck this has just gotten worse." Cid grabs the microphone for the loudspeaker. "Attention all, attention all, we are heading to Wutai. I will be calling the Shinra army." Cid thought for a second. "Cloud your leading them!" I'm not, he thought.
"No!" Another crew man answers. As he brings up his walkie to ask if anyone has been found, the walkie crackles with someone speaking, "So far nothing, what about you guys?" The crew man lowers his head, he presses the button on the walkie, "Nothing here."
"Cid lets bring it around to the right, he's not around here." Lina said.
