Reki: Hey! Here is more of the exciting trilogy of Crescent Moon! 0,o? That sounded kinda corny.

Aries told Rinoa (I had to put her in; she's so cool!), Tifa, and Yuffie about what happened that night when the stranger attacked.

Tifa: "What is the stone? I've never seen it before."

Aries: "I don't know; my mother gave it to me when she died and it's all I have to remember her by. So I always keep it with me."

Cloud came walking down the hall to get a drink of water from the good water fountain like he always does. He smiled at Aries and he whispered something in her ear. He then walked back to class.

Aries blushed as red as her jacket and her friends ran over to her.

"What did he say?" they all said at once.

Aries smiled and said, "Uh... nothing concerning you." And with that, she walked to class.

At lunch, Aries was more spaced out than she usually was. She had been friends with Cloud for 10 years and she never had a clue. She ate the rest of her lunch and took her trash to the trash can when it happened.

She turned the corner and Cloud was unconscious on the floor. She dropped her trash and ran to him. She leaned him against the wall and he came to.

Aries: "Are you okay, Cloud?"

Cloud: "I think so. What happened?"

Aries: "I don't know but I need to take you to the Health Office."

He stood up and Aries helped him walk to the Health Office.

Aries walked home with Cloud and walked by the ocean. They stopped to watch the sunset.

Aries: "It's so pretty. I've never done this before,"

Cloud: "Yeah. Neither have I." Aries turned to Cloud and her lips touched his.

They broke apart and Aries put her finger to her lips.

Aries: "Don't tell Yuffie, Tifa, and Rinoa about this."

Cloud: "Don't worry; it will be our little secret."

With that, they walked the rest of the way home.
