I don't own Final Fantasy 7, or anything I shouldn't so don't sue. I wanted to do another part of the game for a fanfic but I also wanted to try something different. So this is what came to mind, I also want to do the rock scene but I haven't really got any idea's. This is following my other fic The Golden Saucer Date, it's alittle after that. Like I said before no one's making anyone read this, so if you don't like how I write. The answer is simple... don't read it!!! Anyways if you like this please review, any idea's just write them in a review. Thanks.

Lunar Harp in hand, Cloud, Tifa and Cid entered the Sleeping Forest. A light silence fell over the group, the forest was breath taking. Cloud noticed that the forest was the same as his dream, did that mean Sephiroth was already here. He hoped not. Cloud leaded along with Tifa by his side. Cid following behind, glancing around every now and then.

"Don't worry Cloud. I'm sure we can find her." Tifa placed her hand upon Cloud's sholder, she hated to see him like this. Before she could say anymore they walked into a clearing, the very air glowed a sweet green. Cloud looked around, just what was going to happen now.

"The Sleeping Forest awoke..." The words seemed to have come from the wind, it passed by in a quick hush. The pale green faded away into the trees and grass, that laced this forbidden forest.

Beautiful, that was one word to describe the idyllic scenery.

On the other side on the forest, layed the long lost Forgotten City. The houses, streets and walls are made of shells and coral, as if the city was once beneath the ocean. It is completely uninhabited. Tifa walked ahead getting a good look at her surrounding, her long bown hair whipped about her face. She shivered, there seemed to be a north wind current passing threw here.

"You alright Teef?" Cloud asked approching where she was standing. She nodded forcing a fake smile. Cloud had alot on his mind he didn't need to worry about her too. Or at least that what she thought anyway. Cid pointed to the shell like rode that layed infront of them.



"Are you F#@% off's gonna' stand here all day? Let's F#@%ing go already!" The two hero's nodded following behind Cid, a painful question washed over Tifa as they walked. Would Cloud even miss her if she was gone? He did say he worried about her all the time at the Golden Saucer.... they also did go on the date together. Some times Tifa just didn't know what to think, Cloud and everyone seemed very worried about Aeris. Would they worry like that if it was her in trouble. Yes, of course they would there your friends ... right? Stop worry about yourself and about Aeris, she in danger remember. Your being selfish. Tifa mentaly slaped herself. She had to worry about Aeris ... her best friend next to Cloud. She could worry about other things later.

They found some useful items along the way, a water ring. Some potions dropped by monsters. After checking every where and finding know lead, as to where Aeris had gone. They stopped at one of the houses that contained three beds.



"Yeah, and it looks pretty comfortable." Cid said lighting up a cigaret, he wanted to sit down and have his smoke in peace. This place seemd to be crawling with monsters, they didn't dare enter any of the shell houses.

"Shall we take a break here?" Tifa asked Cloud, she waited for him to descide. She would do what ever Cloud wanted, even if it ment searching the hole place again. He nodded walking over to one of the beds, Cid leaned against the wall smoking away. Enjoying every puff, Tifa walked away from Cid coughing lightly. Smoking was so gross, she'd never had one in her hold life. She pointed at Cid then to the door.

"Cid..please go smoke outside!" Tifa said sweetly, she didn't want to upset Cid but she couldn't take the smell. Cid glarred at her, but headed for the door anyway cursing as he left. Tifa let out a small sigh, she hadn't realised just how tired she was. She looked over to Cloud who was laughing lightly at what she had done to Cid.

"Wow. I thought he was going to cuse you out for that and I would have to beat him for it." Tifa smiled, it was nice to hear Cloud's laugh. Even if it was small and short, it still made a difference. He stopped remembering why they were here, his small smile turing back into a serious look.

"Cloud... if you ever need to talk to someone I'm always here. Okay?" Her sweet voice reached his ears, Tifa always seemed to make things better. She didn't even realise it. It was one of her many gifts she shared with her friends.

"I know...." His words were short as Cid walked into the room, he walked passed Cloud and Tifa plunking himself down on the last bed. Falling asleep with in seconds, it was strange how fast that man could fall asleep. It didn't matter what was going on around him, if he wanted to sleep he would. Nothing would stop him. Tifa layed back resting her head upon the pillow. She closed her eyes but quickly opened them when she felt Cloud's hand take hers.

"Are you alright Cloud?" Tifa asked consurned.

"This ... kinda.. makes me feel better...kay?" Cloud said almost as if asking if he was aloud to hold her hand. He blushed lightly, she smiled and nodded. Sometimes Cloud did the cutes things. She closed her eyes again but this time Cloud's voice stopped her.

"Teef....?" His voice was barely above a whisper, she opened her eyes again. She was greeted by Cloud's mako eyes, she loved his eyes. She could get lost in them, she found her eyes were locked onto his. "Hmmm..." She squeezed his hand showing support. "I keep feeling that something bads going to happen. I don't want anything to happen to you or Aeris. But I can't shake the feeling." What Tifa wasn't aware of was Cloud felt something was going to happen to Tifa... but he didn't want her consurned. Maybe he was just being over protective. Maybe. "Don't worry Cloud, I'm here with you right now and I know you'll find Aeris soon. Everything will be fine." Tifa said giving Cloud's hand another squeze. Cloud nodded, feeling a little better. Cloud layed his head down upon his pillow, he was so tired.

"Thanks Teef!" Cloud mummbled as sleep took over his body. Tifa streched her free arm and rolled onto her side, waiting for sleep to take her as well. "Your welcome Cloud!" She barely got the words out as she closed her eyes falling to sleep.



There finished this chapter, I was in a bit of a rush to post it. Don't mind the spelling, I have no spell check on my computer and I never really seem to find my mistakes when I check it myself. So I hope you guys like it, don't worry if there's not enough fluff. I'll have much more in the next chapters.
