{ CHAPTER I ~ LOST EMOTIONS }



Tifa Lockhart stood on the dock of the Highwind, looking down at the opaque water. Above her was the damp deep violet sky. It had been raining just a while ago, and everyone had to stay in their rooms. Now, Tifa was out here, enjoying the rainy air.

Just after Sephiroth had been defeated and the world was placed back into balance, the team of 8 visited Rocket Town. There, Cid proposed to Shera and they were married in only a week. The party lived there for a month before planning a vacation in Costa Del Sol. When they were ready to set out to the tropical city, Shera had announced her sudden pregnancy and decided to come along in fear of being left alone.

Then, Cid and Shera decided to make the Highwind more fit for the party's traveling. They added rooms, so everyone could sleep there. A kitchen and main room were built in as well. The whole process took an extra month.

So finally, the team of 9--Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Red XIII, Cait Sith, Yuffie, Vincent, Cid, and Shera--set out to Costa Del Sol. 5 short months had passed since Sephiroth's defeat, and now, the party was ready to split up. Soon, after a little more traveling, Cid would drop each individual off at their hometown or another place of their liking.

Tifa hated goodbyes. She didn't want to leave all her friends. After all, they were all she had left. Tifa would return back to Sector 7, where she would rebuild her bar and live there for the rest of her life...

Tears sprung up in her firey eyes. Now there was nothing left for her.

'Snap out of it,' Tifa bitterly thought, 'Just enjoy the next few days.' The last place that Cid would take them was the Gold Saucer. A final night of fun awaited.

Right now, the only feeling Tifa had was depression. There were too many emotions being thrown at her head. She just wanted to let them all go... To find her own private realm and stay locked up in there forever...

To die...

She wanted death. But that, too, was something else that burdened her. Tifa couldn't think anymore. She took one final look into the ocean below and a tear slipped out of her eye. It touched the crashing waves and like that, dissapeared.

The way she wanted to dissapear. Tifa turned around and made her way back to the room that she and Yuffie shared. She fell onto her soft bed and let sleep overcome all.
