"Cloud! Cloud! Look at the pretty flowers!" Aeris said wiggling around to get free. Cloud nodded letting the little Aeris go as she ran away and started making a bouquet. He walked over and sat in a near by bench watching as she would bend down to pick up another flower. Just then, a red head boy around the age of 6 ran up to Aeris and started to grab the flowers out of her hands. "Give them back! They're mine! I picked them my self!" Aeris yelled. Cloud stood up and walked over to the boy.

"Excuse me." Cloud said casting his huge shadow over the red head.

"What?!" The boy yelled not even turning his head.

"What do you think you're doing to her?" Cloud said grabbing the kid by the shoulder and spinning him around to face him.

"N-N-Nothing mister! I-I-I just thought that.Um.Well she's picking weeds so.Um." The boy said stuttering.

"Yea, can you do me a favor and leave her alone?" Cloud argued taking Aeris by the hand as she wiped her eyes.

"I-I-I'm sorry mister, I didn't mean it!" The kid said running away. Cloud turned to look at Aeris as she sobbed quietly by his side.

"Come here squirt." Cloud said picking her up. "Where do you want to go?" Cloud said softly.

"I pick these flowers for you!" Aeris said turning him a faint smile as she handed him a single remaining flower. Then she continued to sob onto his shoulder.

"Let's go home, the guys might get worried." Cloud said walking out of the park.

"No, me want to stay more and pick more flowers to make house look pretty!" Aeris said hopping out of his arms back to her flower patch.

"Sure. I'll just wait here." Cloud said standing nearby as Aeris started bending down and picked up several flowers.

"I like this red one for Vincent! And this purple one for Barret! And I also pick this yellow one for Yuffie, and an orange one for Red! I pick this dandelion for Cid. And another one that is pink for me! And then my favorite one is this blue one! And the blue flower is for you!" Aeris said grinning with no signs of tears on her face anymore. Cloud smiled staring into her joyful green eyes.

"I think that your flowers are lovely." Cloud said adding the flower she previously gave him to her bouquet. She giggled lightly.

"Pick me! Pick me!" Aeris giggled childishly. Cloud smiled again and picker her up. 'I smile a lot now!' Cloud thought as he picked up the green eyed girl. Together they walked out of the park.

"O! I forgot a flower!" Aeris said jumping out of his arms, she weeded through the flower patch and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong?" Cloud asked catching up.

"There is no more different flowers." Aeris frowned picking up a blade of grass. "But I guess this will do, cause in a gift, it's not what it is that's important, it's the meaning and thought behind it." Aeris said walking up to Cloud. Cloud cocked his head slightly and picked her up.

"Yea, you're right. You're pretty smart for your age!" Cloud said a hint of worry in his voice, 'But I'm not sure that Tifa will have the same understanding that you have.' Cloud thought. Aeris giggled again and started to stroke the pretty blue flower.
