Hello! Sorry I haven't done much but I was sick all week. The next chapter for my FF7 fic is up it leaves of from where Cloud and Barrete run away from the first reactor. Hope you like it (I know my last one wasn't the greatest) Please R&R!!!

Chapter 2- (The train ride)- There was a monumental BOOM! And everyone was screaming and running for cover. "The reactor, the reactor is gone!" someone screamed. The Mako reactor was a smoldering pile of rubble and everyone was terrified thinking it was some sort of attack on the city.

            Aeris was just sitting on the curb when she noticed all the commotion around her. They all seemed to be heading to the reactor. As she went to go see what happened she was so caught up in trying to reach the reactor she didn't realize she was in the way of someone until they collided with each other.

"Ow! Oh I'm sorry are you all right I was in such a hurry I…"

"It's ok its my fault"

            She had never seen a cuter guy. He was tall, muscular, and had a neat getup on. She couldn't complain, she was wearing her mom's old pink dress with matching bowtie to tie back her flowing brown hair.

            " Hey mister were you near the reactor I think something happened"

" You better get out of here now that the reactors gone this place will be swarming with the Shinra guards." He said it in a low toned voice that made Aeris feel a little light headed, not that she was a slut or anything, but she felt like this guy was right for her

"Oh my God! The reactors gone? But who did it, did you see them?"

" Like I said you better get out of here you wouldn't want to bee around when the Shinra come" When he was done with saying that he ran and disappeared into the shadows.

            Aeris had a feeling she would see this guy someday soon.

            Cloud felt the adrenaline still pumping through his body. After crashing into that girl he was feeling a pretty good headache coming on. She was pretty cute but he felt he could get a girl later right now his only priority was to get to sector 7. He ran down the street already a good ways away from the reactor. He turned right and was in the main train depot. A jolt of electricity from the wires hanging overhead made him look up. The explosion had obviously caused quite a commotion everyone seemed to be heading to the reactor. This was good because he didn't want anyone to be following him.

            As he ran through the depot he heard someone running behind him

"Hey you come here" Cloud turned around and saw about 50 feet away 5 Shinra regulars calling over to him. He didn't have time to cha so he took off running

"Hey come back" They began firing but cloud dodged them. He was now in the train depot courtyard. He ran towards the bridge where the train would pass through.

"Come back you!" There were now more guards about 13 now. Cloud didn't want to fight these guys but he wouldn't have a choice unless… yes he heard it the rattling of the train going through the tunnel

"Sorry but I got a train to catch." He turned around and hoped against hope his timing was right. He leapt from the bridge and landed on top of the train he felt relief that he made it and now carefully made his way to the end of the train where he would get in. He wondered whether or not Barret and the others were on this train too

            " Do you think Cloud made it"

"Hell if I know, but don't worry he can take care of himself"

"Cloud…"

            There was a loud rattle outside and everyone was looking at the hatch waiting. Another knock on the door and Jessie went over and slid open the door and to everyone's surprise loud was there at the threshold.

"God dam it you bastard comin in here like that scared us half to death!"

"Well I'm glad you care so much for me."

" Well now that you've decided to show up I might as well say to you all, good job but don't take it easy just yet our next target will be the sector 8 reactor and it will be a tougher mission and a hell of a bigger explosion. One we get tosector 7 head back to HQ. Lets get into the upper compartments; I'm getting cramped in here.

            After Barret was done talking he leapt out of sight behind some boxes. There was the sound of a door opening then closing and then everyone began exclaiming to Cloud how wonderful he was.

"You were great back there!"

" You are pretty cool for someone who used to be in Shinra."

"Thanks for everything cloud you were awesome."

After everyone was done saying their praises they all filed out and headed to a more comfortable compartment.

            The train ride was uneventful and as they began to get ready to get of the train Jessie snuck over to Cloud and gave him a little kiss on the cheek.

"Hey what was that for?" he whispered turning red in the face.

" Just my way of saying thanks, I glad I was able to know you Cloud."

Barret burst in " If I may breakup you two love birds we're getting ready to leave."

            As the train came to a stop they all hopped out and began to make a run towards the entrance to the slums. Cloud noticed a definite change in the atmosphere here then on the top of the plate. This was because Midgar was in all intensive purposes a floating city. The rich and powerful people lived on top while the poor squandered on the bottom. Sector 7 was a shabby little town with a few scrap metal houses and a couple of kids and pets running around. The main thing that stood out was a bar called Tifas 7th heaven. And Cloud suenly felt himself go hot in the face even more then when Jessie kissed him. As he walked into the bar The bartender ran over to him and latterly took him off his feet in a gigantic hug "Cloud! Its you I cant believe its you, Oh its been so long"

"Uh… its nice to see you to Tifa"

Sorry but that's about it for this chapter ill have the next one up in a couple of days I promise on my honor. Remember R&R! ^_*
