Chapter Three
Cloud sat by the window, watching modified copies of Scarlet and Heidegger's Proud Clod move debris out of the way so new buildings could be built. The city wouldn't be so rebuilt if not for them. Barret put a load of money into mass production, but that didn't hurt the company. After all, all the money came from the mako cannon, Sister Ray, and Rufus' bank account. That's also were Cloud and Tifa got the money to make another "Tifa's Seventh Heaven" and restock it with alcohol and other drinks and a place for them to live.
Vincent walked over to Cloud. "So what are your plans?"
"Where are they keeping them?" Cloud asked Vincent.
"Northern Crater," he responded.
"Well, great," Cloud said. "The one place we never wanted to go again."
"What are you going to do?"
"Well, once everyone gets here, I'll tell them," he said. "Tell Tifa and the other girls not to tell anyone. I need to figure things out."
Cloud got up and went upstairs to his room. He went inside, closed the door, and put his head against it.
Great, he thought to himself. Now I'm the one being chased.
He turned around and started to head to the bed, when he was surprised by Yuffie and Candice making out on his bed. Yuffie's hand was halfway up Candice's tank top.
"God dammit you two..." he grumbled. "Okay, get off my bed and explain just WHY you had to make out on MY bed!"
Candice shot off the bed and ran to a corner of the room. She was blushing horribly. Yuffie sat on the bed. "Well, when you told us to leave the room, Tifa said she was leaving, so we didn't know what to do."
"So you decided to come up and make out on MY bed?" Cloud asked.
"It was her idea!" Candice said as she pointed to Yuffie. Yuffie glared at her.
"God, just get out. Come and get me when everyone gets here."
They left and he rested on the bed. He couldn't help but think about what Red XIII and Vincent told him.
He dozed off after about a half an hour of hard thinking. Not to long after that, Tifa snuck in and laid down beside him. Cloud woke up suddenly and grabbed for his sword, which wasn't there. He then snapped back and realized what had happened.
"Sorry, Tifa," he said. He scratched his head and smiled. "Must have been a bad dream."
She looked confused. "Must have... Is everything all right?"
"Oh, yeah, everything's good," he said. "How long until everyone starts arriving?"
"Well, Cid and Sheera came early," she said.
"Tch... figures," Cloud said. "Did they come in the Tiny Bronco, or the airship?"
"Actually, an airship, but not the same one. He designed a new one."
"Really? That's good," Cloud said. "He'll have to give me a tour."
"Yeah, but not before you help me finish cleaning, you procrastinator," she said. She punched him in the arm.
"I swear, I only came in here for a nap!"
