Author's note: Aaack! It's been so long since I updated but I had no idea what I was going to do with this story. Anyway, I can finally continue! Please R&R, I love to know what you think of my stuff. Final Fantasy VII belongs to Squaresoft but the story is mine
Chapter Seven
Sefeth, Vincent and Tey walked out of the school in a comfortable silence. All three were content to just walk peacefully. Sefeth snuck surreptitious glances at Tey, wondering at the way that her curls were tossed around by a playful wind, amazed at the way that the sun brought out the emerald sparkle in her eyes. He smiled softly. Vincent was more melancholy but his mood was lighter than it had been the whole day and Tey...Tey just smiled to herself, her head flung back, tilting towards the sky, her face radient.
Eventually she broke the silence.
"Hey, Vinnie, why don't the three of us go have a little celebratory milkshake?" she laughed. Vincent gave her a small smile.
"Of course."
The small bar was crowded today as the three of them sat sipping milkshakes.
"So...how was Midgar?" asked Sefeth, breaking off from his lime milkshake. Vincent smiled wistfully.
"It was...beautiful. I know that Tey wouldn't think so though," he answered. Tey stopped sipping her strawberry milkshake in order to have some of his vanilla one.
"How come?" she asked. He retrieved his milkshake.
"It was impossibly crowded. Millions of people all cramped together in this place; it was so full of life. The air was filled with the sound of factories and people talkng and cars and metal clanking. There were shops everwhere and monsters to fight..."
"It sounds terrible," said Tey, wrinkling her nose.
"How's the plate doing?" asked Sefeth.
"The plate?" asked Tey. Vincent explained.
"That new company, Shinra, they're building a large metal plate over the city so that there will be more space to live in," he said.
"What about the people under the plate? They'll have no sunlight!" cried Tey.
"Yeah, well, that's the lower classes," said Vincent. "The rich make all the laws in Midgar."
"But that's terrible!"
"Not for the rich," smiled Vincent. Tey rolled her eyes.
"So how is the plate doing?" repeated Sefeth.
"Good," answered Vincent. "It should be finished within a year."
"Impossible!" exclaimed Sefeth. Vincent nodded.
"I think so too but the amount of money that Shinra has...well, things have been moving very quickly."
"I hope to see it soon," said Sefeth. Tey raised an eyebrow.
"And why would you?" she asked.
"When we graduate I hope to start working in the Shinra Science department," he said. "I wanted to do that since the company started. I mean – the funding and the equipment that they have in amazing!"
Vincent nodded. "And their fighing forces are extraordinary!" he said. "When I graduate I hope to join SOLDIER or become a Turk."
"Turk?" asked Tey.
"It's what their elite spy force is done. They handle all of the top-secret missions," said Vincent. Tey rolled her eyes in frustration.
"Boys!" she exclaimed.
"So what to you want to do when you're finished with school?" asked Sefeth.
"I want to write," answered Tey, smiling dreamily. Sefeth smiled back, moved at her peaceful choice of career. Vincent nodded thoughtfully.
"You should be good at it," he asnwered, finishing off the last of his milkshake.
"Yes, but there is one very important question that I need to ask you," said Sefeth, looking at her.
"And that is?" she asked expectantly.
"Who's paying for these milkshakes?" he asked and Vincent chuckled. Tey huffed and rummaged through her pockets.
"No money!" she said theatrically.
"That's because I've taken your purse," answered Vincent, waving it before her astonished eyes.
"Why you sneaky, deceitful, thieving..." she stuttered.
"Thank you," laughed Vincent. "Admit it, I'd make a good Turk!"
"You would," frowned Tey.
"Thank you."
"It wasn't meant as a compliment!" answered Tey.
They split the cheque three ways and walked out of the bar. Sefeth was surprise to see the sun setting.
"Do want me or Vincent to walk you home?" he asked Tey. She shook her head.
"It's okay, Sefeth. I'll be fine," she answered, pinching his cheek, "Although you are very sweet to have asked."
Sefeth kissed her cheek and she walked off, waving to the two boys. Sefeth watched her go and then turned to Vincent.
"Hey, it was nice meeting you," he said.
"Likewise," answered Vincent and he walked away. Sefeth turned around and started to set off himself, failing to notice the flock of white doves soaring madly overhead in the crimson sky.
There! Finished. I hope that you didn't find this chapter boring but I felt that it had to be put in. Anyway, I'll update soon, I promise. Cheers!
