Tifa awoke from a night of restless sleep. She'd had nightmares of meteor..
she could still see it as it approached the Highwind.. could feel the fear
in everyones hearts.. she really missed them.. Barret, her friend and
mentor for life, Nanaki, with his wise words, even Yuffie, though she had
been an annoying little brat at times. And especially Cloud.. she still
loved him, deep in her heart.. but she knew that she would now never get
the chance to act upon her love. But at least she'd get to see them again..
if she worked on her plan quick enough..
She'd made it to the chocobo farm pretty quickly the day before, running after the boy, who she'd found out was called Chole. His father, Bill, had been quite happy he'd been brought down a peg or two and let Tifa stay the night for free. He'd also let her rent out their best chocobo, and for a cheap rate too. Still, the happiness from that hadn't stopped her from having the nightmare.
"Tifa? Are you up?" called a voice. Tifa struggled to remember if it was Bill, Billy or Chole. It didn't help that the names were so similar either! She pulled herself up from the bed and peeked around the door. "Oh, you're up! I made you some mako coffee, if you want it?" Billy asked. "Sure, thanks. I'll be up and out of your way in a little while" she smiled, taking the coffee back into the little room that she had stayed in.
'Hmm... mako coffee... never tried that before.. wonder what its like' she thought, taking a sip. She'd planned out her day the night before, planning to make it to Fort Condor before nightfall, if not any further. She wanted to make a quick stop off in the Mythril Mines to see if Elena, Rude and Tseng were there.. not that she planned on causing any trouble, no, of course not. As far as she figured, they wouldn't know who she was, so she had no reason to worry, and she might as well help Avalanche on their way. Tifa finished getting ready in record time, and walked out into the kitchen area.
"Hey Bill, Billy, thanks for letting me stay the night, I really appreciate it." She smiled. "No problem Tifa, any time. And by the way, any time you've finished with the chocobo, rub its left ear three times, and it will come straight back to us" Bill informed her. "Three times, left ear, I think I can remember that" Tifa chuckled. " Anyway, I really have to be going, I'll see you some time, yeah?" "Of course" They hugged, and Tifa left, to truely start on her so called adventure. It was 11am, and she hoped she'd make it to Fort Condor by 6 at the latest. It had been a long tiem since she'd rode across this land, so she wasn't sure how long it took. The chocobo was quite mellow and rode at a comfortable pace for Tifa, fast enough so that they were making good time, but slow enough so that Tifa could look at the scenery around her. "I wish you could talk, you know that," she sighed. "Waaark!" it screeched back. She sighed again, and rested her head on its head in an attempt to get more comfortable. It was comfortable enoguh for her to doze off, and doze she did, until suddenly the chocobo stopped and flipped her off. "What the hell! Ewwww!" She groaned. She'd been flipped into the swamp, and now was all dirty and covered in muddy wweds and gunk. Giving the chocobo an evil look, she turned to see where the Midgar Zolom was, and prepared to cross the swamp.
