Chapter 5: Searching the Shinra Building

*After being corrected by someone, forgot the name, the party is on floor 59 and not 60, I haven't played that part in awhile so I can't be expected to remember that too well.



Barret: Alright let's go!

Two guards dressed in red approached us.

Guard: Seize!

Perry: Fire!

Putting my sword in the ground I levitated in midair and then spread my arms and cast Fire on him.

Guard: Double Shot!

He shot me twice which hurt a bit.

Tifa: You okay?

Perry: I've had worse.

Barret: Die &*$%((*

Barret unloaded into the Guard and killed him.

Guard #2: Double Shot!

He shot Tifa twice this time.

Tifa: Now I'm angry!

She flexed her muscles on her arms a bit and…

Tifa: Beat Rush!

She charged at the Guard and pummeled him multiple times.

Tifa: Somersault!

She then did a backflip kicking him in the head. His body came apart and he was a black soldier on rollerskates???

Cloud: My turn!

He slashed the soldier and killed him.

Cloud: What's this?

He picked up Keycard 60. We used it to go up to Floor 60.

Cloud: This is it!

Barret: Don't let your guard down.

Tifa: I hope Aeris is okay.

Perry: …

I couldn't think of anything to say. I gazed out at the world from the elevator. It was massive. I enjoyed the view.

Cloud: Let's hurry.

Now we had to sneak past the guards patrolling.

Slowly but surely we snuck past.

On the floor above we had to find another card key.

Barret: I heard this is where the major works.

Tifa: We could probably get his help.

Perry: Might be easier than you think.

I remembered all we had to do was to guess the word he thought of. Shouldn't be too hard.

Mayor: Who are all of you?

Barret: We're from AVALANCHE. Can you help us get to the floors above.

Mayor: Heck I can get you to the Floor the Meeting is on.

Cloud: Meeting?

Mayor: All the big wigs are holding some meeting about this girl they captured.

Perry: Must be Aeris.

Tifa: Well how do you get us there?

Mayor: I'm thinking of a word. It describes the kind of feeling I have towards the Shinra.

Perry: …be more specific

Mayor: What do I think I am compared to the Shinra?

Perry: ……………King…

Mayor: A smart fellow. That's correct. I'm the King. Screw those Shinra bastards!!

Perry: So will you get us to the Floor above?

Mayor: Yup here is Keycard 66!(I'm skipping the optional crap)

Cloud: Thanks.

Mayor: And because your smart friend got it right the first try I'll throw in this.

He hands me and Elemental Materia.

Perry: Thanks.

Mayor: Now get up there and get those idiots. MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

We all kinda backed out of the office slowly.

Barret: What a weird ^*%#

Tifa: At least he helped.

Cloud: We'll have to thank Perry for that.

Tifa: Yeah, how did you guess it first try?

Perry: Psychic powers!

I waved my hands in her face creating that atmosphere.

Tifa: Sure.

We made our way to Floor 66.

Perry: Meeting should be held here.

Cloud: Let's try and find a way to hear it.

Barret: Maybe the vents.

Perry: But where would a vent be?

Tifa: The bathroom?

Cloud: Probably. Let's check.

We all marched to the bathroom.

Barret: Let's go. I think a vent is in this stall.

We entered and one by one went into the vent.

Tifa: Men's rooms are very different.

Perry: I didn't want to hear that now…

Tifa: Sorry…just saying cause…

Cloud: Ugh…now's not the time Tifa.

Tifa: tee-hee Guess so!

We crawled through until we were over the meeting.

Barret: That's a lot of suits.

We listened for what seemed like hours. The game made it go faster. Guess this is what meetings in real life are like.

Cloud: This is going on a long time.

Perry: You're telling me…

Tifa apparently got bored from this and fell asleep on my shoulder.

Perry: She must have really gotten bored.

Barret: These guys are really planning somthin big…

Cloud: It looks like they want to use Aeris to find them the Promised Land. Which will help them get more Mako.

Barret: Those &($&($*&@)(&#(#&$(#%*&)#&(#%&#)

*Kinda went overboard there but just imagine one long strand of swears.

Cloud: Let's go.

Perry: What about Sleepy Head?

Barret: Can't just carry her around.

Perry: I think a gym or something is on a lower floor. I'll take her down to rest.

Cloud: Go ahead. We'll come get you when we find something.

After spending a lot of time getting Tifa out of the vent we split up.

Cloud and Barret went off to find a way to the upper floors and I took Tifa downstairs to the gym.

Perry: Hmm…must be some beds or a resting place somewhere.

I had to carry her in my arms because my sword would have hurt her.

Perry: Geeze Tifa. You could stand to lose a few pounds.

Eventually I found the resting room.

Perry: Hmm…A fresh blanket with your name on it.

I gently placed her on the sleeping bag, removed her shoes and gloves and undid her hair. I knew she slept like that since our meeting in Sector 7.

I placed her in the bag comfortably and zipped it up.

Perry: Pleasant dreams hottie.

I almost felt silly. I was constantly flirting with this girl. Why? I mean she would never go out with a guy like me even if it was a promise she made. Besides back home regular girls won't go out with me, what makes me think this super hot one would?

Perry: I could sleep myself.

I found another sleeping bag and put it next to hers.

Perry: You're beautiful Tifa…

Brushing some hair from her face I slowly fell asleep.

……………

Perry: Oh.

Where was I?

Perry: Looks different.

I was in a familiar looking place.

Perry: Cloud? Barret? Tifa?

No response.

Perry: Wait isn't that…my house…?

It was. I was home again. However I still had the sword and get up from Final Fantasy.

Before I could open the front door I woke up.

Perry: Huh?

Tifa: Perry, where are we?

Perry: Oh, you fell asleep in the vent so I took you down here to rest. Barret and Cloud are going on ahead and they'll come back when they've found something.

Tifa: Oh you brought me here?

Perry: Yeah.

Tifa: Thank you. I must have been tired.

Perry: I was too. That's why I'm resting here too.

Tifa: Oh. You know…

Perry: What is it?

Tifa: You've been so nice to me ever since we met.

Perry: What's wrong with that?

Tifa: Nothing. It's just that you are the nicest person I've ever met. I trust you the most.

Perry: Wow! I'm honored! Thank you.

Tifa: No, I know you feel something for me…

Perry: I do.

Tifa: And I think I…I…I can't…

Perry: I know what you mean. You feel the same back. Right?

Tifa: I can't say…

Perry: Than nod yes or no.

She nodded her head up and down.

Perry: Wow…

Tifa: What's wrong?

Perry: Never imagined that you'd feel this way.

Tifa: Well. I do…

She leaned over to me and found myself leaning too. Eventually our lips met and we were in a long passionate kiss.

This is my first kiss. I never imagined it to end up like this.

After what seemed like a millenium we backed away.

Perry: That was amazing.

Tifa: Really?

Perry: Well it's my first kiss so it has to be the best one.

Tifa: Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Perry: This is like nothing I've ever imagined.

Was I right? I never imagined Tifa Lockheart would fall in love with me. But unfortunately we can't spend time together because of the Shinra and such.

Perry: We both know we won't be able to spend time like this together long.

Tifa: I know.

Perry: But when we get out of here and have time alone let's make the best of it.

Tifa: okay.

We both felt rested and so we got up and got our things together.

Perry: Cloud and Barret should be back soon.

Tifa: Yeah.

I leaded up against the wall and thought to myself.

I sure hope this new relationship doesn't interfere with the goal at hand here. But Tifa knows as much as I do what must be done. Lucky me. I got a smart one. Hehe

Tifa: Whatcha thinking about?

Perry: stuff…

Tifa: What kind of stuff?

I didn't want to tell her what I really thought so I decided to be the "player".

Perry: …you…

Tifa: What about me?

What I said afterwards wasn't really using my head before I spoke.

Perry: your ches…

I stopped myself but she figured out what I was saying.

Tifa: My chest eh?

I didn't want to respond. I didn't want to say that.

She walked up to me slowly with a sinister look on her face.

Tifa: Well…

She came very close to me.

Tifa: Is that all you see me as?

Perry: Of course not.

Luckily I said that in a calm tone to hide what I had said.

Tifa: I don't mind entirely. Just keep it to a minimum.

Perry: Sure…thing…

She continued to get closer. She pressed her breasts against my chest.

Tifa: You're heart is beating quickly.

Perry: So is yours.

Then she wrapped her arms around me and rested her head against my shoulders.

Perry: What's this?

Tifa: I'm drawn to you. Don't you feel drawn to me?

Perry: Yeah I do.

I placed my arms around her too.

After a few minutes we broke away.

The door opened.

Cloud: Hey, we found something very important. Come quickly.

Barret: Yeah, I think we found Aeris.

Perry: Really let's go!

We all ran up to the highest floor possible.



(had to add the romance part sooner or later. But that's not all that happens with the lovely couple. Well…….just wait and see.)
