~The Ending of My Story~
Cloud rode down the market solemnly. The town's people walked among him peacefully carrying on with their own business. It seems like Tifa has been gone for days but truly it's only been two days. Everything looks as if it was all right but it really wasn't. Cloud's chocobo halted as a sudden crowd rushed down to the main market. The mass bird squeak in fright.
"Shhh, its okay," Cloud whispered stroking the chocobo's neck. The bird calmed down as the crowd disappeared ahead of them. 'What's causing all the turmoil?' he thought as he rode after the mob of people. Cloud tied his chocobo to a pole and started to fight his way through the crowd. "What's happening?" he asked no one in particular. Everyone was too busy pushing and shoving to answer back. As he got closer in, he got pushed back. Cloud gave up and waited for the crowd to die down. Five minutes later the crowd started to fade away.
"Oh my, a wedding, were all invited," said and elderly woman to her husband as they walked pass Cloud. Cloud raised his left eyebrow. There were flyers flying all over the place.
"A wedding huh?" he said as he picked up one of the flyers. "Dear townspeople, blah, blah, blah, your all invite to…" he paused in confusion, "Tifa Lockheart's wedding?" his voice change instantly as he read the last couple of words. He stood there as he went through an irony. He then read on, "Tifa Lockheart would be wed to her mysterious fiancé," Cloud slowly felt his anger rise. 'She said she love me…how can she find someone else so fast?' Cloud said as his jealousy grew. 'She can't get married,' his hand tighten and crumbled the flyer.
~Home of the Avalanche~
"I know where Tifa is," Cloud proclaim as he stomped in the living room.
"Where?" Yuffies asked.
Cloud threw them the crumble piece of paper. They read it over quietly to themselves. Everyone had a puzzled face except for Yuffie.
"Aww, Tifa's getting married. How sweet. Let's all go. I wanna see who her groom to be is. Don't you guys?" Yuffie said jumping up and down. Everyone seems happy about the news except for Cloud. He walked out of the room while the others listen to Yuffie rambles on what she's going to ware.
Cloud sat on the porch with his head down. "Wow Tifa, I really blew it this time huh?" he questioned. "I'm not going to let you go through with this," Cloud promised. Cloud became so caught up in his emotion and thoughts.
"Cloud, tomorrow is her big day?" Red said looking at the distance sky. Cloud lifted his head up from his knee. "Are you going to be there for her?" Cloud didn't answer. "I know you're not happy with this, but it's her decision," Red turned to Cloud, "You should be happy for her…don't ruin it Cloud" Red walked back in side.
~Cloud's room @ 11:32 pm~
Cloud thought over about what Red had said to him. 'Yeah, I should be happy for her…whatever makes her happy I should be there to support her through it,' Cloud thought trying to cheer himself up but it didn't seem to work. 'Who am I kidding?! I hate this! Every part of it!' Cloud shouted in his mind. 'Tifa? Why are you doing this? It's killing me inside. You know that I…that I umm,' Cloud sighed, 'you know what I'm trying to say,' he said as if Tifa could hear him. Unexpectedly a pair of beautiful ruby eyes appears in his mind. 'I never told you how beautiful your scarlet eyes are, but now you probably hear it enough from your future husband. I wish I'm the one who be able to tell you that for the rest of your life. Hmm…I wish you two the best in life,' he said in pity tone. Hours later Cloud drifted off to sleep.
~7:01am~
"Wake up! Wake up! Today is the wedding! Come on you sleepy head, wake up!" Yuffie jumped into Clouds room and bounce off to another.
"Damn! That girl has the worst wake up call!" Cloud muttered to himself as he got out of bed. Sluggishly Cloud got ready for his childhood friend's big day. Off in the background he can still hear Yuffie.
"Wake up! Wake up! Today is the wedding! Come on you sleepy head, wake up!"
"Oh please shut the hell up!" Cid complained as he kicked Yuffie out of his room. Cloud let out a little laugh, which he has never done in a really extensive time.
~1 hour before the wedding starts~
"Come on you guys! It's time to go!" Yuffie yelped still in a bouncy mood. Her dress was a rosy pink that slit from above her left knees diagonal down to her right. Red stood sat next to her side. Vincent walked out in a white tuxedo along with an unhappy Cid.
"Yuffie, you look beautiful," Vincent commented as he walked to her.
"God! Do I have to ware this ridiculous suit?" Cid protest.
"Yeah, you have to look nice, it's a wedding you know?" Yuffie said as she fixed Vincent's tie.
"I hate wearing white! I've already got oil stain on it," Cid looked at the stain.
"You didn't have to chose white," Yuffie replied as she examined Vincent. Cid looked away. "Is everyone here?" Yuffie inquired.
"Cloud's not here yet," Cid pointed out. "If he doesn't go, I don't go." Yuffie glared over at Cid.
"Come on out Cloud, its time to go," Yuffie called out. Cloud walked out with his arms crossed looking as unhappy as Cid. Cloud's blonde hair and turquoise eyes really stand out from his black tuxedo.
"Aww, Cloud you look so cute! Nice choice. If you don't be careful, the people there might mistake you for the groom," Yuffie teased. Cid couldn't help but bust out laughing. Cloud kept a straight face and showed no emotion what so ever. "Okay lets go!" Yuffie informed hold on to Vincent's arm.
~Arrive at the church~
"Aww the church is so beautiful," Yuffie stared. The group walked in. Cloud stayed behind, with no one noticing.
"I can't go through with this," Cloud said combing his hand threw his nicely spiked hair, "It's just too hard for me…I'm sorry."
"She needs you at this moment more then ever," the wind whispered as the breeze blew past him. Cloud looked up and no one was there. Those words immediately change his mind. He walked into the church. All the seats were filled up. It was very crowded.
"Damn! Where can Yuffie and them be?" Cloud mumbled. Out of nowhere Cloud felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. Suddenly everything turned black.
~The Beginning of the Ceremony~
"Uh, what happen?" Cloud said as he gains consciousness. He looked up and everything was a blur. He felt his hand cuffed behind his back. "What the hell? What's happening?"
"Shut the hell up!" the man who had a hold of him whispered violently. The grand piano started to play. 'Dum, dum da dum, dum dum da dum…' Every one stood up and looked at the entrance. Cloud looked down the aisle and his eyes were set on the most beautiful sight. She walked up gradually in her white dress.
"Tifa..." he whispered out to her. She stared past him with a blank look as if she had never met him before. Cloud felt confused but he mostly hurt by the way she brush him to the side. Cloud's eyes followed her every steps. She stopped in front of the altar next- "Sephiroth," Cloud growled underneath his breath. "How can this be? He's dead." The man laid another punch on his back. Cloud gasped for air.
"Dearly beloved, we are all gather here today to celebrate the love of Sephiroth and Tifa Lockheart," the priest stated Sephiroth turned and looked over at Cloud with an evil smirk. Cloud watched powerlessly.
"Do you, Sephiroth, take Tifa Lockheart as your beloved wife?"
"I do," his grin grew bigger as he slid the ring on to Tifa's.
"Do you, Tifa Lockheart, take Sephiroth as your beloved husband?" the priest continued.
Cloud shook his head, 'No Tifa. You can't.'
"I do," Tifa replied in a monotone. Cloud felt his heart sank.
"Now you may kiss the bride," the priest announced. Cloud looked away but the man pulled his head up by his hair forcing him to watch. The sight made Cloud's face rage with anger. Sephiroth walked back down the aisle with Tifa by his side. They both stopped by him.
"We meet again…take him to his cell," Sephiroth commanded. The men started to drag Cloud off to his cell.
"Sephiroth!" Cloud struggled towards Sephiroth, but was pulled back. Sephiroth chuckled as he watch them dragging Cloud away. Tifa just stared blankly as the event passed by her plain eyes.
~Cloud's Cell~
"Damn Sephiroth! What the hell is he planning to do with Tifa?! Why does he have to bring her into all of this? This is only between him and me," Cloud paced back and forth angrily. "Tifa how can you o this to me!" Cloud sends his fist flying into the stone wall. His cell door opened.
"Here, you can have your bitch back!" The man threw Tifa on the floor and slammed the door shut. Cloud ran quickly to her side. She was out cold. "Tifa, Tifa you there?"
She blinked rapidly. "What happen- Where am I?" she stood up quickly. She felt dizzy and her legs started to wobble. "Uhh."
Cloud ran and broke her fall. "Shhh…its okay, your safe now," Cloud comforted her in his arms.
"Oh, Cloud. I was so scared. Sephiroth, he's alive," she sat up with frightened eyes. "He took me and, and I -I ended up here with you. What happen? How did you found me?" she asked with a puzzled face.
Cloud looked into her eyes they weren't the cold ones he had saw earlier. It was obviously she didn't remember a thing that had happen to her. Cloud didn't bother to tell her about the wedding. "It doesn't matter, everything is okay," Cloud opened his arms and Tifa fell into his embrace. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean those words I said," Cloud apologized.
"I know, it's okay that was in the past, it doesn't matter anymore." Tifa held on tighter closing her eyes as tears splashed down. "Tell me Cloud, this isn't a dream."
"It's not Tifa, it's not," Cloud whispered back. Cloud pulled away and saw that her ruby eyes were flooded with tears. With his index finger he lifted her chin up. "Don't cry Tifa," he moved his face closely to hers. His lip softly touched her pale shivering lips. He brushed his lips softly against hers. Her eyes widen but slowly she closed them returning his kiss. He grabbed her by the hips and pulled her closer in. Gently he pried her lips open with his. The passionate kiss went on for a few more precious moments. Tifa pulled back and looked into his wonderful blue eyes that she had missed for so long. She fell back into his embrace. She closed her eyes as more tears ran down her cheek.
"Cloud…I-" Tifa froze as her eyes met up with Sephiroth. Quickly she pushed Cloud out of the way. "Uh," she managed to let out a soft cry as the long blade went piercing through her.
Cloud turned around and saw Sephiroth pulled the blade out from Tifa's decreasing body. "No! Not again!" He ran and threw a punch at Sephiroth, but he vanquished in thin air. He ran quickly to Tifa's aid. "No…Tifa, this can't be-" Cloud looked down as her white wedding dress begins to seep with blood. His eyes commence a tide of tears.
"Cloud...i'm dieing" her lip started to shiver in pain.
"No! Don't say that! Your going to make it, promise you'll be with me," Cloud's heart open as the tears came dripping down.
"…I promise…" she let out a weak smile, "…I'll always be with you…no matter what happens…"
"Tifa…I...I Love you," Cloud said holding her hand tight in his. The trail of tears continued.
"I've been …waiting…to hear those words from you," her tears fell continuously after another. Their lips touch for a moment. Yuffie, Vincent, Cid and Red came running in. Yuffie's eyes met the deep red puddle beside Tifa. "No!" she squeaked. Vincent held her in his arms as her eyes unleashed a path of tears. The other's stood backed and watched Cloud's and Tifa's last moment together.
"Tifa, I had always love you, I'm sorry that I never let you know that," Cloud shook his head.
"Don't be sorry…deep down I knew that…" she stared helplessly into his blurry eyes.
"No Tifa ! I love you too much to let you go!" He tightens his grip to hers.
"Bye Cloud...I Love You…." she manages to whisper. Cloud felt her grip loosen as her eyes softly closed.
"NO! Tifa please come back to me...come back," Cloud yelled sitting there still holding her in his arms. His mouth started to quiver as he finally let out a soft cry that he'd been holding back.
Tears came rushing down everyone's cheeks. The members of the Avalanche watched on helplessly. Red let out a painful howl that filled up the night sky along with all the tears.
