GA: well, I got 4 more reviews.
VV: shouldn't u be happy? u should b jumping up and down all ovr the walls like the maniac u r.
GA: well, I guess. at first I was but then I read wat ppl wrote. I understand where they r coming frum but ppl, I specifically wrote wat I felt about Tifa. didn't I state it clearly?
VV: ::nods::
GA: well, let me not stress ovr it. I mean ur all entitled to ur own opinions, anyways.
Author's Note: I guess im happy I at least got sume reviews. but didn't u ppl read? I said that I like Tifa as much as the next person, but to me, she was the only person that fit the bad guy part. I don't mind if I got a flamer cuz I understand. Tifa is one of my favorite characters of FF7. So pleez, just understand wat I am trying to say, pleez ppl. Other than that, I appreciate all of u that reviewed. Even the flamer.
Tifa Fan: im not going to start arguing about this but next time, u should READ! it would help me and a lot of othr ppl.
Mimi: r the chapters that short?? Hmm, I guess I should make em longer.
Ice-Angel: at least u read wat I wrote. I guess I picked Tifa to be the villain instead of Yuffie cuz I saw Tifa as a more mature person than Yuffie. She's older than her. r Yuffie's eyes violet? They look gray to me. Well, I just decided to have some of the things like the Disney version. I didn't really plan evrything, I guess. Hehe, im not telling who the prince is. But I guess it's obvious who it is anyways. Btw, I love ur story^_^
the tifa and dumb reveiwer basher: thanks for telling me wat angst means, but just don't pay attention to "Tifa Fan". They 'forgot' to read wat I had wrote. Doesn't anybody evr read the author notes anymore?!
Oh yea, just to let u kno, this means 'thinking'

"Oh dear." She gasped.
"Hello. I am sorry if I frightened you." The stranger spoke.
'A stranger. I must not speak to him.' She thought. She stared at him. He had spiky blonde hair and was dressed in navy blue pants and shirt. A dark red cloak was draped over his shoulders (think of him in Kingdom Hearts). He was very handsome in her opinion. But he would never have any attraction toward her.
"Excuse me miss. Hello?" he asked.
Realizing that she was staring, she turned her away quickly.
"Uh." she couldn't look at him. The blonde man noticed that her cheeks had just turned pink, almost matching her dress.
"I'm sorry." He apologized again. He turned on his heel and walked away.
"Wait!" Aerith called out to him. "What should you be sorry for?"
The stranger looked at her. "Well, I'm being quite rude, aren't I? Just popping up out of nowhere and interrupting your beautiful singing. It was you, right? He asked.
"Yes." She said timidly. He could see her blush again.
"Am I the cause of your blushing?" he asked again.
She nodded shyly.
"I guess another thing I should be sorry for." He said.
"No, you shouldn't be sorry. It's my fault for being such a shy person." Aerith spoke. She got up from the stone and walked to him. They gazed into each other's eyes. He stared in her brilliant emerald eyes and she looked in his ice blue eyes.
"You have nothing to be sorry for." She told him in a voice barely above a whisper. Their faces were only inches apart from each other.
"Yeah." He whispered back. He glanced upon her features. He tried not to take his eyes off hers. She had feathery eyelashes that fluttered every so often. The light breeze blew through her soft, caramel hair. The breeze also blew her delicious scent toward him. She smelled of ripe strawberries and wildflowers. Her creamy, colored skin would often turn pink of blushing. Suddenly, a thought came to him. Should he say it?
He brought his eyes back to hers. "You are as beautiful as your voice." He whispered. A darker pink appeared on her cheeks this time. He chuckled. "Do you always blush when someone compliments you?"
"I guess I do." She said. Their faces had gotten closer.
"You know, although you're a stranger to me, I feel like I already know you so well." The blond stranger softly said. With those words, realization hit her like a train. Aerith gasped.
'Stranger!'
The green-eyed girl quickly grabbed her basket and shawl and ran.
"Wait! Did I say something wrong?" the young sunshine haired man called to her.
"No, it's not that. I'm not allowed to take to strangers." She told him.
"But when will I be able to see you again? I don't even know your name." He told her.
"Um." she tried to think of something. When would she be able to meet with him again? You never know; he could be the love of her life that she had been waiting for all this time. "You will be able to meet me again tonight. Go to the cottage in the forest at 8:00. I'll be waiting for you." She called off to him before running off at a fast pace.
All he could was watch her go and await tonight.

"Girls, we have to get everything ready." Rinoa said urgently.
"Wait! I almost forgot." Exclaimed Yuffie. She rushed upstairs and came back down in three minutes. "Did you forget about our poor, neglected wands? Why don't we just use these?
"Ooh, no, no, no! We mustn't use these. Remember we're not allowed to use these out here. We might cause suspicion." Rinoa snatched the three wands out of the younger fairy's hand.
"Why?" Yuffie whined.
"Because if we use them, Tifa will find us for sure. And I know you don't want that to happen, now do you?" Rinoa scolded Yuffie. She cared for her as much as if she was her sister. The only problem was that Yuffie was just so immature and naïve.
"You're too strict. You gotta take risks sometimes, you know? Then how can you live life?" Yuffie frowned.
Rinoa thought for a moment. 'She does have a point.' She looked at the younger girl then to Quistis. She nodded with a smile on her face.
"Well." she paused. She could see Yuffie's face light up at that instance. "Let's try without our wands first. If it doesn't work out, then we'll use them."
The ninja fairy looked down; her small smile disappeared. "Ok. I guess." she trailed off.
"Then let's get to work." Rinoa ignored the look on Yuffie's face. "Quistis, you do the cake. And I'll do the dress."
"What about me?" Yuffie asked.
"You'll be the one to try on the dress." Rinoa told her.
"But I don't want to." The young girl whined.
"Yuffie, dear, you must. Then how will we know if it's the right size for Aerith?" the eldest girl told her. She was trying to get Yuffie to compromise so there won't be any quarrels between the two of them today. She wasn't feeling like it today.
"Yeah. You're right." Yuffie sighed. They shouldn't argue over that. It was for the princess and there was no room for arguments now.
Quistis just smiled at the thought of her two friends finally getting along. It wasn't something you something you saw everyday with the two. The blonde girl took out a cookbook from the shelf and propped it open on the counter. She turned to a recipe that told how to make a cake with 16 stacks upon one another (A/N: 16 being the age that Aerith turn's. how will they eat that much? O.o). She took out a big bowl, a pack of flour, another pack of sugar and some eggs.
'Hmm, now let's see. First, I need to mix 2 cups of flour with some milk.' Then she paused. "Two cups?" she thought. "Ah, yes. Cups!" realizing what they meant, she took out two cups and filled the flour in them and then poured milk in the bowl. She was really starting to get the hang of cooking.
Meanwhile, Rinoa had taken red fabric out from a cabinet and began cutting it up to sleeves, and other parts that would make up the soon to be beautiful dress.
"Yuffie, I need you to stand on the stool for me." She instructed. Yuffie did as she was told and waited patiently.
"Pink?" a disgusted look overcame her face. "Why pink? It's so distasteful."
"Well, to you it is, because you have a fondness for blue. Even though, you shouldn't be talking about pink being ugly." Rinoa said.
"Excuse me? What is that supposed to mean?" Yuffie began to get angry.
"Now, now. Let's not start that useless fussing over a color again." Quistis called from the kitchen. She had beaten the eggs into the mixture. But, I mean, literally. She really had beaten them; she squashed the eggs in. Cracking could be heard while she was mixing the concoction. Rinoa and Yuffie looked at one another and then to the girl in the kitchen. They had weird looks on there face. Rinoa just shrugged it off and continued with her work. Yuffie just stared on.
"In the book, it says to put two tablespoons of sugar. What does that mean?" Quistis asked dumbfounded.
"They mean two teaspoons, Quistis." Yuffie informed.
"Oh." The green fairy giggled. "How stupid could I be?"
The ninja girl sighed, nodding her head.
"Stand still. How am I supposed to make this the perfect dress while you keep fidgeting?"
"It's too tight."
"Well, that's why you are the dummy. You have to tell me how the dress feels-if it's too tight, too loose, and so on."
Rinoa looked down at the sleeve she was working on. The left sleeve was longer than the other was. Maybe she should.No! Not yet. She could still fix her mistake. That's why people did mistakes-to learn from them.
Suddenly, Yuffie spoke up. "Do you remember the first day we brought Aerith here? I remember it like if it was yesterday." She smiled.
"She was just a little baby, then. Now she's all grown up into a beautiful young girl. And she's soon to be the princess of Shinra kingdom." Quistis voice was full of sorrow as she cradled the bowl of cake mix in her arms.
"Yes, I miss those days very much. She was so precious and delicate." Rinoa let a tear escape her eye and fall freely down her cheek. "Hey, aren't we being just a bit too touchy? Aerith would want us to be happy right now. It's her birthday!" she quickly wiped the fresh tear off her cheek.
"Yes." Quistis agreed. She had just finished making her cake. The layers were toppling over one another and the icing was slowly dripping. She sighed. "Rinoa." The other fairy was still tending to the dress, and by the looks of it, it was terribly done. The collar was too large, the sleeves were uneven, and some spots in the dress were too tight or too loose.
"C'mon, you know that we really need them now." Yuffie pleaded with the eldest. The dark-haired beauty sighed in defeat. "Fine."
"Yay!" the ninja jumped out of the dress, filled with joy, and dashed upstairs. Quistis chuckled.
"You know you can't stay annoyed at her. She's still just a child." Rinoa was amazed at the middle fairy. Although she was the leader, Quistis always seemed so much more mature than she was.
