A Return from the Planet: Chapter Two: The Journey
Aerith awoke a few hours later, sitting up, forgetting what it felt like to wake up in the morning. To her, there was nothing better.
She had another feeling she hadn't felt in a long time, hunger, she wanted breakfast.
After she ate her breakfast, an assortment of plants found conveniently growing just outside the house she was in, she headed south again towards the sleeping forest.
As she reached the forest, she was approached by a monster, it looked somewhat familiar as she reached for her staff, she noticed it wasn't there, backing off slowly, the monster closed in, a shot was fired from a gun, killing it.
Looking around, she could find nobody, slowly she walked towards the forest, being ever careful of the monsters that could lie ahead, further up the path, she notices a man, clad in a red cloak.
Sensing his familiarity, she ran towards him, she had wished that the first person she met up with would be cloud, but any of their friends would have done just as nicely.
As she caught up with him, she realized that it was indeed Vincent, he slowly turned around, a slight grin on his face as he pointed his gun at her head, she stopped in her tracks and fell to the ground on her "posterior" (ass for those of you who don't like euphemisms).
He fired a shot, taking down a huge bird behind her. He then spoke grinning again, "Sorry. I couldn't resist, being the silent one I am, it is good to see you again Aerith, I knew you would be back."
Aerith looked up at him, her irritation completely surpassed by the glee of seeing her friend again, she jumped up and hugged him. "Answer me one thing Vincent"
"What is that?" He responded
"Why did you wait here for me?" She inquired
"Well, I couldn't find Lucretia, what else was I supposed to do?" He replied grinning again. "Besides, why waste away in a city, why not go somewhere beautiful, untouched, other than the Icicle town, and the Bone Village, this place is completely untouched, and nobody walks in to the sleeping forest."
" I guess you are right." She replied smiling, "Let's go find the others!"
Vincent sighs as he responds "The city again? You mean, with people and such?"
"Yeah, isn't that where they are?" She responds
"I guess, ok, fine, let's go." He states.
As they walk south towards the Bone Village, nothing too eventful happens, a couple of monsters, and a lot of catching up.
"Where do we go now? Is there transportation off the Island?" Aerith inquires.
"Cid makes frequent visits to the Bone Village, he thinks this is a good place to relieve stress and find things to add to his collection" Vincent responded
"Collection?" Aerith asks.
"Yes, since Meteor, he has collected relics of the past, from the ancients and whatnot. HE is the one that has your Princess Staff." Vincent Explains. "I am supposed to meet him here soon, but knowing him, he will be late"
"I see." She states.
As they sit and wait for their friend, Aerith dreams of what she will say to Cloud when she sees him, what she will say to everyone. As the hope for a good life is finally in front of he, she lays back and relaxes under the sun on the beach, waiting for her friend, she falls asleep, warmed by the sun, content with the knowledge that she is finally going to be happy.
Sorry it took me so long to update, I have been busy with school the past few weeks and have been unable to write anything fun. I hope this was worth the wait, please R&R, more to come I promise
