It is a beautiful day. There was barely a cloud in the sky, and it is as blue as it could possibly be. The sun cast down shine, and warmth throughout the planet. A smooth breeze played with the grass and the trees. Plants swayed back and forth in a melodic dance with the wind.

A group of boys were playing soccer. A blonde haired kid, with red eyes, kicked the ball passed the defender blocking him. He ran as fast as he could. His shorts, and short sleeve white shirt barely held on to his speed. The boy smiles, as he knew this kick was going in. The boy kicked the ball with grace. The ball took of the ground and was sent on a collision course with the net that was its home. The black haired goalie girl jumped in the air to block it, but it fell through her hands. As she landed on the ground, she cursed to herself for missing the catch.

"Lina don't say those words. Your only thirteen!" The boy jumped on the ground not happy with her bad girl attitude.

"Shut up Cloud! I almost had that ball!" She shouted at him, as she stood up. She began to dust off her shorts. Then retied her dark brown hair in a ponytail. Lina took a lot of her personality from her mother. She cared deeply for anyone close to her, and protected him or her as well.

"Lina! Cloud! Mom wants us home now!" Shouted a girl from the other end of the field.

"Coming!" Lina shouted, as she finished her ponytail.

Cloud gazed his red eyes over to the other side of the field. "Lets go then."

The two siblings ran to their younger sister. When they made it, Lina and Cloud were still arguing about the goal.

"Lets go! It's lunch time." The blue-eyed girl said.

"Aeris?" Cloud asks her for her attention.

"Yea?" The little nine years old looked at him with curiosity.

"What's for lunch?" asked Cloud.

"I dunno." She shrugged innocently at him.

They then ran to their house. Ten minutes later they reached their porch, and a woman opened the door.

"It's about time you two!" The red-eyed woman spoke with a commanding tone.

"Sorry mom, I was beating Lina at soccer." He smiled warmly to his mother.

"You were not!" Lina placed her hands on her hips.

"Yes I was." Cloud shouted back to her.

They shouted to each other for roughly a minute, repeating the same sentences each. Aeris strolled into the house by then, bored of their silly argument.

"Ok, ok. Lets go. Time for lunch." The mother separated the two, and shoved them into the house.

"Tifa!" Yelled a blonde haired man, with blue eyes. "Where is the stuff I'm supposed to pick up?"

Tifa walked up to him. "Their outside on the porch Johnny."

Johnny smiled to her. "Thanks Tif. I'll be back soon ok."

Tifa strolled into the kitchen, only to find Lina and little Cloud bickering over a yellow glass. Tifa went to the cupboard and opened it. Pulling out two green cups. "Here, no one gets the yellow."

A simultaneous chorus of, "Man!" escaped their mouths, as they accepted the green glasses. They opened the fridge and pulled out soda.

"Ah! No soda!" Tifa said in her motherly tone. "Drink water, or drink nothing."

Lina and Cloud looked at each other, and shrugged. They both left their glasses on the counter, and went to the table to eat.

Tifa shook her head. "As long as it's healthy, they won't take it." Tifa picked up two plates and walked over to the round table that her kids were sitting at. "No mayonnaise for Cloud." She placed his burger in front of him. "Cheese for Lina." She placed Lina's cheeseburger in front of her. Tifa smiled at Aeris already taking small bites out of her completely plain burger. "Alright kids eat up. Your father will be back soon."

"When is dad coming mommy?" Cloud asked as he swallowed a bite from his burger with ketchup.

"Soon enough. Now eat up, or we don't go." Tifa ran her hand through her hair. Tifa's beauty seemed unaffected even in her late thirties. She has been married for sixteen years now. She had Lina, who is thirteen, three years after marriage. Cloud, which is 11, shortly after Lina, and Aeris also two year after. Tifa walked to the kitchen. "Sixteen years already. So much has happened since then." She thought about Cloud. She missed him so much. Tifa began to wash the plates. She thought about how she named each of the kids. Each in memory of someone dear to her, Aeris was practically her best friend after they met. Lina was close to Tifa as well. Those two women sacrificed themselves for the life she is living now. Cloud on the other hand was named after someone who has practically remained the essence of her thoughts. Cloud means everything even today. She started to think about the day Phoenix was summoned to save Cloud; she started to feel grief for the emotions she went throughout that day.

Someone opening the door interrupted Tifa's thoughts, and she ran out the kitchen to see who it is. When she made it. There he was. Tifa smiled sweetly to the man she has loved for so long, and has married to spend the rest of her life with. "Hi Cloud."

He gazed his blue eyes over the woman he so dearly loved. "Hi Tifa. Is everyone ready?" He asked with innocent eyes.

A memory flashed before Tifa's eyes. She almost lost him that day. The light receded, and Cloud did not wake up. Once everyone began to give up hope. Cloud started to cough violently. Tifa never felt happier in her life. "Cloud!" She yelled hugging him extraneously.

"Tifa!" He choked. "I need to breathe."

Tifa let go of her death grip. "Cloud, I want to live with you forever. Never to leave your side."

Cloud attempted a smile, but a sharp pain prevented him from doing so. He nodded to her with eyes of contentment.

Tifa's vision came back from her daydream. "Cloud lets go outside, it's a beautiful day."

He nodded to her and opened the door for her. She said thank you as she stepped out and turned around immediately. Tifa leaned over to him with her hands behind her back. "I will always love you."

"And I you." Cloud came closer, and kissed her.
