Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII or any of the characters.


Tifa opened her eyes to see Rufus staring at her. Tifa blinked.

"Ummmm.... What?" She said and started wondering how long he had been there.

"You slept in, it's breakfast time" Rufus said and pulled the blanket off of her. Tifa sat up.

"Oops" She said and got out of bed, she grabbed her shirt and a tank top and ran into the bath room. She changed quickly and smoothed out her hair. Tifa ran back into her room and made her bed. Tifa looked around quickly to check that everything was ok. She didn't want Mrs. Shinra to clean her room. Tifa was about to leave but Rufus stopped her.

"Tifa?" Rufus said as he made his way to the door.

"Yeah?" She said and stopped turning the handel.

"Um..." Rufus put his hand on the back of his neck, "Don't say anything, don't hint, just don't" He flicked his hair and looked at her.

"Ok, ok, I wont. But it's too bad I can't I was so looking forward to telling everyone I know" Tifa said sarcastically and Rufus rolled his eyes.

"Thanks" He muttered and walked out the door with her. Reno saw them come out and he raised an eye brow.

"Shut up" Rufus pointed a finger at him and continued walking with Tifa. Reno chuckled and went back to his work. Tifa walked down the hallways once again. She was bored again. Tifa went into her room, what could she do? She looked at her piano. Tifa decided to play, she hadn't done so in a long time. Tifa got out some blank sheets.

Tifa touched each key and tried to decided which one to start with. Tifa soon found a melody she liked. Tifa continued to slowly play and write down the notes. After an hour she finally had a song she liked. Tifa started to play. Rufus and his parents where in the President's office. Rufus raised an eye brow. His dad stopped and his mother looked over at the 2.

"Can you hear that?" His mother asked.

"Yeah, what is it" Rufus said dumbly.

"A piano maybe" His father sneered and Rufus sent him a sharp look.

"I know that, but where's it coming from" Rufus asked. He rose up and so did his dad. The 3 walked down the halls trying to find the sound. It was strange for them to be doing so but they had never heard a piano in the ShinRa building before. Rufus figured it was Tifa but he wasn't sure.

Reno and Elena looked up to see the 3 walking down the hall. Elena gave Reno a look, Reno shrugged and the 2 followed them. Everyone finally stopped outside Tifa's door. She had left it open and Rufus slowly pushed it open. Tifa stopped playing and looked over at them, she gave them a confused look. She was surprised to see 5 people looking at her.

"Um..... Hi" She said.

"Tifa I didn't know you played, I though you just had a piano" Mrs. Shinra said, rather dumbly.

"I learned from my dad" She said, it kind of hurt to admit that.

"Your very good" She said.

"Thank you" Tifa said, she looked over at the other 4. They just looked at her and Tifa looked away. She felt embarrassed, "I'm sorry if I was eing loud"

"No not at all, it's not like you were bad!" Reno said remembering the old girl who use to sing loudly so the whole building could hear and she was horrible.

"Okay well we've all stared at her long enough lets get back to work" Rufus said and turned to leave. The rest followed and Mrs. Shinra did as well. Once she shut the door Tifa started laughing. She found it really funny. She was just playing and all of a sudden 5 people were staring at her. Tifa sighed and continued playing her song.

Rufus had gone into his own office and shut the door. She was starting to annoy him again. She was too perfect. She could play the piano and his mom loved that. Rufus sighed, he wouldn't let that get to him. It wasn't her fault her was perfect. Rufus listened again, he could still hear her playing. He smiled to himself, her music was almost as pretty as her.

Rufus keep working hard to try not to think about her... and her long hair, perfect body, beautiful eyes.... no! work work work. Rufus yawned he had been working for a long time. He checked the clock. It was dinner time. He didn't feel hungry though. He decided to go anyways. He didn't want to make his dad mad, all his lectures were boring. Rufus did anything he could to avoid them. Rufus went in and sat down. Tifa came in soon after. Rufus's mom and dad weren't there yet. Tifa sat down and looked over at Rufus. He was staring at her.

"What?" She asked playfully.

"Nothing" He grinned and she looked down. Rufus moved his leg and rubbed hers. Tifa's eyes widen and she looked up at him.

"Are you hitting on me" She laughed.

"No, I have no clue what your talking about" Rufus said innocently. Tifa giggled and blushed. Rufus held back his laugh and just continued to stroke her leg.

"Sorry we're late, Elena and Rude wanted to talk to us." Mrs. Shinra said and Rufus instantly stopped.

"What ever" Rufus said and the food was served. Mrs. Shinra helped with the food until everything was in place. Rufus talked with his dad the whole time about business, avoiding Tifa.

"You know Rufus needs new clothes" Mrs. Shinra said cheerfully to Mr. Shinra.

"I do not" Rufus said.

"Yes you do, we'll go shopping tomorrow, Tifa come along too. I'll buy you something" Mrs. Shinra said "And don't try and say no. Your going!" Tifa nodded and Rufus rolled his eyes, he hated shopping.

"Tifa lets go" Rufus called and Tifa came running/falling down the stairs that lead to the garage.

"Sorry" She said and stumbled forward. She had slept in again and ran from her room to the first floor and then down the stairs. Tifa and Rufus walked towards the limo and went inside. Mrs. Shinra was already inside in the limo and waiting for them. Tifa dropped down and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry" Tifa apologized again.

"Tifa, I must warn you. Mr. Shinra doesn't like lateness" Mrs. Shinra warned, "You may not be working for us but you are I guest"

"I know, I'm really sorry, I'll try not to be late anymore" Tifa said, she felt bad, what if they kicked her out? Tifa stayed quiet the whole time. She just looked out the window.



They pulled up to a large mall. Rufus stepped out and held the door open for his mom, he pretended to close it on Tifa but she slipped out in time. Tifa hit him in the chest and continued on. Rufus followed after her.

Tifa watched Rufus try on a whole bunch of clothes. Rufus' mom would fuss over him and how good he looked. Rufus kept rolling his eyes and sighing. Tifa giggled to herself she could tell he hated it. Mrs. Shinra paid for the clothes and drag the 2 to another store.

"Now it's Tifa's turn, go find something you like" She said and Tifa ran off to see if there was something good. Mrs. Shinra ran around the store pulling things out she thought would fit Tifa. Tifa looked carefully around, she wanted the things she bought to be cheap. She found lots of things she could only dream of buying but never touched them because of their price. Tifa found some jeans and 2 shirts that were on sale. Rufus was sitting in a chair near the changing room and looking bored. He watched her and almost smiled. It was cute to she her girly side instead of the sad one he was use to. He could tell she was still getting over her dad. Tifa returned to the changeing room and tried on her clothes, she went out to check how she looked. Mrs. Shinra ran up to her with a pile of clothes.

"Try these on too" She said and put them in the change room. Tifa blinked, there was lots of clothes in that pile. Tifa checked how the jeans and top looked on her. She liked how the jeans look but the light blue top
didn't fit right. Tifa tried on all the other clothes, one by one she found ones that fit and ones that didn't. Mrs. Shinra would fuss over her as well. Tifa finally came to the last thing, it was a dark blue bikini. Tifa put it on and bit her lip. She didn't want to go out side because Rufus was there.

"Tifa lets see" Mrs. Shinra knocked on the door.

"Um ok" Tifa said and stepped out.

"You look so cute" She fussed once again, "Don't you think she looks good Rufus" she dragged Tifa out so Rufus could see her.

"Ye... Yeah" He stutter when he looked up to see her. Rufus blushed and Tifa looked away.

"Good good we're all set then" Mrs. Shinra pushed Tifa back into the changing room. Tifa changed into her normal clothes. Tifa ended up getting a dress, 2 pairs of jeans, 3 fancy shirts, 2 tank tops and 4 pairs of shoes. Tifa couldn't stop thanking Mrs. Shinra.



Tifa was back on the balcony on the 75th floor. At the back of her mind she was wondering if Rufus would be there. She had seen him looking at her when she was trying on clothes. She was looking at him too when he was trying on his stuff. Tifa began to hum 'The way you look tonight'. She didn't know why but she just felt like it.

"First you come invade my space and then you sing in it" Rufus said as he came up behind her. She turned around and tilted her head to the side.

"Hey I can do what I want here" Tifa sneered playfully.

"What ever" Rufus gave her a half smile quickly. Tifa walked over to him and put her arms around his neck. Rufus stiffened up.

"You know... you looked cute in those suits" Tifa said and touched her nose to his. She then walked away form him. "Good night" Rufus dropped his mouth open, she was doing what he had. Rufus grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him.

"That's not fair" Rufus said leaning back against the railing with her in front of him.

"What's not?" Tifa asked looking up at him.

"I didn't get to tell you how cute you looked" Rufus smirked down at her and she grinned. Rufus leaned down and whispered in her ear. Tifa swallowed, she could feel his hot breath on her neck. "But let me warn you..."

"mmhhmm" Tifa barely said.

"If you ever use cute and me in the same sentence, you'll be sorry" Rufus chuckled and Tifa giggle. She leaned her head on his shoulder.

"You know you just ruined the moment" Tifa laughed and Rufus looked down at her.

"Oops" He said in a fake tone and Tifa hit him in the chest. Rufus slipped his arms around her waist again. Tifa looked up at him, Rufus leaned down and close too her lips. Tifa thought he was going to kiss her. Their lips were so close, barly milimeteres apart "Good night" he said. He released her and walked off. Tifa's mouth dropped open. Ooooooo she'd get him back one day.


Hehe I bet you though they were going to kiss..... plz don't hurt me...... Well anyways, this chapter wasn't too exciting but oh well, they want shopping and shopping's fun!
