Chapter 3: At The Bar part1
.drip..
.drip.
Drips of water echoed inside total darkness( you know, the PLOK!sound?). All was in total darkness yet a glimmer of light seemed to seep through the darkness.
" What- is-this?" Cloud panted. His head down low and pushing out soft pants. He was cold. Every breath he'd exhale causes a wave of smoke- like thingy. You get the picture. " What- is this place?" he scanned the room hoping to find an answer. Cloud felt dizzy and his eyesight turning blur. He winced a few times but it didn't help.
" Ah. We meet again."
Cloud turned around fast. " Oh It's you old man." He sighed in relief. " What is this place? Do you know how to get back outta here?" Cloud gestured his hands. He stared back at the stranger in front of him.
" You still don't understand. You know too little and you're still so- "
" Don't finish that line old man! I have enough of you!" Cloud gritted his teeth. " You know nothing about me! Stop making all these lies and take that stupid hood of yours and let me see you wrinkled face!" Cloud demanded.
The stranger made a silent laughter.
" What so funny now?"
" This is not yet the time." He walked toward Cloud. " But if you insist." He grabbed Cloud's shoulder. Hard. He gripped it tight with his bony fingers and held his hood. " Soon you'll regret of seeing me. Your nightmares are beginning." He took off his hood revealing-
KLUNG! KLUNG! KLUNG!
" Wha -What?!" Cloud shook his head. He rubbed his ears trying to remove the deafening noise echoing in his head. He stared up and was gawking at an angry Barret.
Barret who was holding the bronze kettle and a spatula shouted, " YOU FREAKIN' KID! CAN'T YOU ANYTHING BUT REST YOUR TINY LITTLE ASS!?"
" Whoa Barret!" Cloud twitched. " I'm sorry okay. I had a ' great' sleep that's -Barret, What are you wearing?!"
" Enough of ya bickering.Marlyn forced me with this ya hear?" Barret turned around. He was obviously hiding what he was wearing. A pink apron and a 'cute' Chocobo embroidered on it. " Get down and help with the bar. There gonna be costumers comin'"
" Really?" Cloud raised a brow. Why would there be many costumers coming? He stared at his mirror and yelled out loud to Barret, " Yeah but I'm not wearing an apron!" He smiled. But the thought of his dream was spine chilling.
Cloud was surprised to see a lot of decorations and stuff. He waited for the elevator to stop at his destination. He headed for marlin who was cleaning the counter.
" Cloud! Nice to see you awake without a disappointing smile." Marlyn greeted. She handed the blonde with the same sunny side upped eggs. Below the eggs was a strip of bacon forming a ridiculous smile on the plate. " Bon a petit!"
Cloud stared at his stupid plate. " Listen Marlyn, I've got to ask: What's up with you two?" Cloud stared at the child. " This is getting too weird."
Marlyn and Cloud glanced at a singing buffoon who was Barret. He was busy putting up a sign.
" HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!"
" Happy anniversary.?" Cloud said blankly. It was eerie. Anniversary? For what?
Barret frolicked toward the two. He slammed his fists on the counter. " Marlyn, bring me one of yer sunny side ups!" He grinned.
Beside him, Cloud watched. Now he remembers. It has been three years since he lived with Barret. Three long years of working around the bar practically doing nothing. Living with him was not what you call 'normal'. The part celebrating for an anniversary was insane.
" Listen, I gotta go." Cloud raised from his seat.
" Cloud, Where're you going?" Marlyn asked.
" Somewhere, that's not really important." Cloud said in reply.
" Yeah, Almost everything you do's not important." Barret chewed his sunny side ups. " Just get back here in time of the party. Come on Marlyn! Bring in the Bacon!" He swung his fork around.
Cloud walked out the Bar the push doors flung behind him.

" Good morning!" A girl greeted who was sitting on a stool in the sidewalk. " Care for fresh flowers?" Her smile didn't reach anyone. She sighed and collected her flowers. " honestly, people these days. They don't know how precious flowers can be."
" Good morning!" A voice shrieked. She was behind the girl with the flowers. " Any luck?"
" Sadly, no." The flower girl shook her head. " I don't believe anyone's interested."
" Hey don't worry! I know something will come up. I promise you." Her dark eyes showed concern. Her black hair flowed behind her back. " Don't worry Aerith! Someday, we'll leave crummy old Midgar and travel the world!"
Aerith smiled. Her pink dress was dusty so she brushed them off. Her brown hair jumped up and down as she moved. " I trust you." She rubbed away dirt from the dark haired girl's cheek.
The dark haired girl grinned. She was so pretty (drool.). She clasped Aerith's hands unto hers. " Don't worry since I'm here." She smiled again as her friend smiled back at her. " Oh! Aerith do you have money?"
Aerith released from her grasp and checked her pockets. " Yes but it's only change for the flowers." A hand snatched the gils out of hers." Hey!"
" Thanks Aerith!" Aerith's friend dashed leaving the pink dressed girl behind. " Wait! Come back here! I need the money! TIFAAA!" Her voice bounced off the walls around her. " Come back here!"
+===+===+
" I forgot, I left without eating breakfast today." a blonde rubbed his stomach. He sighed and stared at a huge billboard about Chocobos. Racing to be exact. He paused for moments until a pain shot through his arm. " Hey!"
" Sorry!"
' Huh? It's that girl again! What's her deal?' Cloud thought. " That's the second time!" He rushed towards her. He didn't care if he hits other people. He dominates. He bulldozed through crowds as he kept track on his target. A cloud of dust followed him.
People covered their heads as soon as Cloud came in contact.
" Wait a minute. Wasn't that Tifa?" Aerith moved her bangs.
+==+==+
" Damn, I lost her!" Cloud cursed. He panted heavily as he sweated like a fountain. " All that commotion just for that?" He leaned on his knees and rested. " Man, that girl has strong adrenalin." He straightened up inhaling. " Better get back before- Huh?!"
" Hi-yaaaa!"
CHING!
" Surrender now!" The who attacked called.
" Yeah right!" Cloud countered. His opponent's face was covered due to his buster sword, which he used for defending. " It's over!" Cloud jumped up in the air and ready to strike his foe. " What!?" A wave of air mass collided in the alley they were in. " You- You're just. a girl?"
His opponent's pink dress made it easier for him to identify who it was behind the dust.
Aerith coughed as the dust cloud cleared. She made a perfect posture and spoke, " Leave her alone!" She remained her guard. " Leave us alone please."
A question mark appeared above Cloud. " Wait a sec, Was I supposed to fight 'you'?" He pointed.
" Please, I-"
" Wait, are you the one who bumped on me? 'Twice'?" Cloud gestured his fingers in front of Aerith. He was practically fuming now.
" Of course not. I'd never do such a thing." Aerith shielded.
Cloud studied her. ' Well yeah, I guess she's not the one.' Cloud sighed. He noticed Aerith stretching a hand towards him.
" My name is Aerith. Nice to meet you." She introduced. She motioned her hand to get Cloud's attention. " Umm."
" The name's Cloud." Cloud turned. " You're not the on I'm looking for so I'd just better leave." Cloud reluctantly said. He walked away leaving POOR Aerith behind.
" I was just trying to be nice." She whispered.
+==+==+
Cloud walked to the bar's counter groggily. " Marlyn, food."
" MOVE YER ASS CLOUD!" Barret pushed him aside. " The big party's comin' up and you'd better get busy. No exceptions!" he warned.
" Whatever," Cloud waved his hand as he went on the elevator thingy. " I'll be upstairs hallucinating."
"Okay, have fun!" Barret hummed. Barret cooed as Cloud reached his room. " You better be down here tonight! There will be someone new workin' this here bar!"
Cloud stopped at Barret's statement.
" You better show her aroun'"
Chapter 3! Hooray! Finished! Okay ClouTi fans out there, the good parts a'comin'. Anyway, I still hate my brothers and I wish they burn in hell but, leave the PS2 behind. Man, I need help in FFX. Help me oh great Yevon!
