Okay, for the few who have read this story: Sorry, I have been in a little rut with my writings. But, then again, no excuses. Here is Chapter 2!
Chapter Two
Cloud sat at the bar, staring at the entrance to the bar. He shifted his eyes to the large sword on the mantle above it and sighed. "Has it really been four years since our last battle?"
Tifa laughed from behind the bar. She was cleaning a few glasses out. "Yeah, I can't believe it myself, really."
Yuffie was sitting at a table with Candice. "Um, guys, did you forget about the time we drove off the hoard of monsters from Kalm? And what about the time we went to Junon when those soldiers from Shinra tried to defend the reactor from being shut down?"
Candice shuddered. "Don't talk about Kalm! I still have nightmares from that day."
"But hun," Yuffie said, "that's the day we met, remember?"
"Yeah, but I still don't wanna remember the monsters," Candice responded. "I hate monsters." She made a pouty face at Yuffie.
"Don't do that!" Yuffie yelled. "It's too cute!"
Candice blushed and looked at the ground. "Sorry."
Yuffie laughed and gave her a big hug and a kiss. "You know I'm just playing, Candy-girl."
"Get a room!" Tifa said, mockingly. She looked back at Cloud. "We have about three hours left until everyone gets here." She hopped over the bar and grabbed four glasses. "Think we can have a few drinks before they get here?"
Yuffie hurried across the room. "Yes, please!"
Tifa glared at her. "Lemme see your I.D., then."
"Tifa! No fair!" Yuffie yelled. "I'm just a year away!"
"Rules are rules, and besides-" Tifa started to say, but was interrupted by the door creaking open. Everyone looked towards the door.
"Red XIII! Vincent!" Cloud yelled as they walked in. "It's good to see you!"
"You're early." Yuffie said. "But good timing. We were about to have a drink." She shot a look at Tifa.
"That's good. I could use one," Vincent said. "But first, I have to tell you something important." He looked solemn, as usual. Also, his voice was monotonous.
"Is something wrong, Vincent?" Tifa asked.
"Wrong is an understatement," Red XIII said. "You guys might wanna sit down..."
Yay! Chapter two, complete! Well, review! Tell me how it is, and if I can improve it in any way. Also, tell me your ideas!
P.S. I am thinking of writing other parts to this story, including the story of the monsters in calm, and the stories of Red XIII and Vincent's travels!
