Unbelievable! I just couldn't believe it. It all happened so fast. First, Cloud raising his sword and about to kill Aerith until we all yelled at him to stop. Then Sephiroth came from above and stabbed her with his silver sword from behind.

I continue to watch as Cloud sets her against the wall so it looks like she's sitting up right. Everyone goes one by one to pay respects. Tifa goes and then runs off cries. Poor girl, she and Aerith were good friends during our travels they were always talking and laughing with each other.

Next, I see little Yuffie crying and Cloud holding her until she's ready to go. Then Cid, Vincent, and Barret go. Now it's my turn. I slowly waddle up the stairs. I feel like everyone is watching me. Everyone is watching the stupid cat riding on the big, white Mog. Lucky me.

I stand there looking at the cold, dead face of Aerith. I don't like it. It makes me feel weird and guilty for not doing anything to stop Sephiroth from killing her. All the others and myself are witnesses of her death. We are all the witnesses of the death of the last Cetra in the world.

I remember when I first meet her. At Gold Saucer when I was working there and sort of forced myself into the group. I still feel somewhat bad about it. But I had too. I had no choice! Fucking ShinRa made me! But she was still very kind to me when everyone else was horrible towards me. It was like she could see into my soul and knew that I wasn't all that bad and that I should be given a chance!

I fiddle around thinking what I should do to give my respects and then all of a sudden an idea pops into my head! Phoenix Down! That's it Phoenix Down will bring her back. I quickly rummage through my leather bag looking for a Phoenix Down. Last One! I do a small little dance and give Aerith the Phoenix Down and wait.

And wait.

Nothing.

Oh yeah. I forgot. The only way you can use a Phoenix Down is if someone has fainted and is out of energy. Phoenix Down gives the person energy. It doesn't mean they are dead. Stupid me.

I bow my head in embarrassment and disappointment. I wished the Phoenix Down had work but now I feel like an idiot, especially, in front of everyone, wasting it and thinking it would work. Oh well, everyone makes mistakes. I make my way down the stairs and join everyone at the small lake and wait for the others left to finish and for Cloud to bring Aerith down and put her in the lake.

I look at everyone. They're all silent except for the soft quite sobs they all try to contain and the there's Yuffie. Who is sobbing very loudly. But I guess I can't blame the girl. She's very young. At that age it's hard to look death in the eyes and face it.

Everyone's here, except Cloud. What's taking him so long? After several minutes, I believe, he's finally shown himself slowly taking Aerith to the lake. I can't take it any longer! I silently begin to weep. Though, no tears can flow through me since I'm just a machine. But I can still feel and make the action of it. Poor Yuffie's sobs can still be heard. I look up again and see the body of Aerith sink. Poor girl. I'll miss her dearly; she always had a smile on her face and was always cheerful even at the worst of times.

Good-bye, Aerith I'll miss you.

Cloud tells us all to go back get some rest. I agree we all need it. I waddle behind the others. Tifa and a couple have the other try to talk to Cloud but he makes notice of them there. He's like a zombie.

We're in our own beds, except me. My mechanical body can't fit in the beds. Besides, if I try to fit in the bed I'll most likely break it but that's okay. I'll just "shut down" as you can say.

The only thing that's on my mind right, of course, is Aerith. She's probably on everyone else's minds. I still feel bad. She didn't deserve to die but she did. That's life you should say but I can say this. When we all fight our final battle with Sephiroth he's going to pay dearly, in the hands of all of us. And the victory will be for dear Aerith because it'll be her payback to Sephiroth killing her.
