A/N: Thanks for your reviews, I'm back from holiday and finished moving house, just encase anyone missed me!
Cloud looked at Tifa, she was holding back the tears, Barret was shaking his head at him, Cid lit up another Cigarette, Red XII nodded in approval as did Cait Sith and Vincent, finally he looked at Yuffie, her lips quivered into a smile.
"Cloud, Aeris is dead, you have to except that!" Tifa said finally.
"I know its wrong…. But oh hell with it, I promised the girl a ride on the Highwind and Cid never goes back on his word!" Cid exclaimed
"Her life was stolen from her, she deserves a second chance," Vincent added
"I…I want to see her again, I want it to be like the old days," Yuffie whispered.
"Your sick all of you!!!!" Tifa said allowing herself to cry, "Aeris told me to look after Cloud, But I guess I already failed," she ran out of the room.
"Tif, I don't love you, maybe once I did but I can't keep making excuses for the way that I feel," Cloud shouted after her.

"Reno, is it true that some bloke's out to get you?"
"What, who, where did you here this?" Reno thumped the wall
"Two guy's were chatting, outside the Inn, they said some Valentine guy was after you!" The young man known as Rufus Shinra added.
Reno went pale,
"Are you alright, why does he want you," Rufus questioned
"I knew I knew that woman," Reno said out loud to himself,
"What woman?" Rufus becoming even more confused.
"I was drunk and anyway she had it coming," Reno went on.
"Oh shit Reno, what did you do to her!" Rufus exclaimed
Reno looked at Rufus and looked away, Rufus shook his head "Not again, you're sick, I'm not getting you out of this one!" Rufus was so ashamed of his so-called friend.
"She shouldn't have turned me down," Reno said in his defence.
"You mean Lady Kisaragi, even if that Valentine guy doesn't finish you, you will be executed, Lord Godo is not a man to mess around with," said Rufus shaking his head, he remembered the day Yuffie had slapped Reno for asking her to sleep with him, once again he was drunk.
Reno's mind was working over time. He was thinking of a plan to protect himself
"I know, I'll kidnap her, they won't hurt me because If they me I'll have her killed," he chuckled, his eyes were full off fear.
"No way, I'm not having anything to do with this!" Rufus backed away, Reno had lost most off his mind when Shinra went down and he lost his job, he now turned to crime to pay for his booze and drug habits, Rufus was upset that what had become of his best Turk, (other than Tseng).

"Aeris, Aeris is going to come back, I can't wait to see her again!" Yuffie said almost sounding excited.
"Yes, it will be a great day, I just wish Tifa could understand," Vincent replied, he was pleased at the way Yuffie was acting.
"We have to go and get ready, Cloud says to meet him at the Highwind at around 6pm, its 5:35 now, we have to hurry!" Yuffie pulled on his arm.
"Okay, go and get changed and we'll meet in the lobby," he said, they had came to Yuffie's room already.
Yuffie looked sad, she didn't want to go in there on her own,
"Is that okay?" Vincent asked when he saw the slight spark in her eye die down.
"Y..es, that's fine, see you in a minute," Kisaragi's weren't cowards, she knew that she had to be brave.
She pushed open the door and shut it behind her, she did up the lock and sighed, she decided to dress quickly so she wouldn't be alone for to long.
She searched through her wardrobe and pulled out a black knee length dress, she didn't feel like wearing anything to colourful.

Vincent walked the little way down the hall to his and Cid's room, Cid was out preparing the Highwind, he had rebuilt it and was just checking the safety procedures,
Vincent walked over to his quarters in the room, he found the suit he had worn the day before and put it on, he brushed his hair and removed his headband, he tied his hair in to a lose pony tail.
"alright time to meet Yuffie in the lobby," He thought to himself.
he rushed as fast as he could so that if she was already there she wouldn't have to wait for him long.
Yuffie was pleased to see him and rushed over to him.
"Come on the others are waiting," She took his hand and lead him outside, Vincent blushed, Yuffie looked great in her dress, he shook the thought from his head, she was far to fragile at the moment, she didn't need him gawking at her as well.
They arrived at the Highwind and stood there, their jaws dropped,
"Is, is that Cloud?" Yuffie stuttered
"I believe so," He answered slowly.
Instead of his usual 7 inch spike on his head, he had his hair down in a lose pony tail, similar to Vincent's, just not as long.
"That's weird, but strangely nice," she whispered as Cloud approached them
"Trying a new look, eh?" Vincent asked
"No, just for special occasions, like today," Cloud said sounding excited
Yuffie smiled slightly and nodded
"Well, Cid's ready to go, come on!" Cloud turned and ran back to the Highwind, his hair blew in the wind as he ran.
"We'd better not keep him waiting," Vincent said to Yuffie
she took his hand tightly in hers and ran after Cloud.
The Highwind set of minutes later, Cloud walked round to hear everyone's comments.
He walked over to Red XII,
"Hmmm, I am looking forward to seeing Aeris again, but I wonder how you are going to go about resurrecting her?" Red asked quietly so no one else would here.
Cloud showed the Pure Rebirth Materia to Red XII
Red gasped, "Very impressive, it must have taken you along time to acquire that!"
Cloud nodded and went on,
"Hello Cloud, You must be ecstatic about seeing her again," Vincent said as Cloud approached him
"Yes, I just wish that Barret and Tifa were here, there blessing would have meant so much to me,"
Vincent thought about how this was effecting Tifa, it was obvious that Cloud was the world to her, Vincent thought back to the night before when she had asked him to dance, he felt sorry for her so he excepted.
Cloud moved on, today Yuffie was sitting with Vincent and Red XII as a change of sitting on her own out back.
He walked over to her.
"..............."
Cloud could see that he was going to have to start this conversation
"Yuffie, you must be looking forward to seeing Aeris again," Cloud started
She nodded, "Aeris was my first real friend,"
Cloud decided to move on to Cid.
"I had to do some Cleaning up in here, well if we going to have Aeris on here it has to look presentable," Cid said proudly
Cloud nodded and smiled, Cid was very excited about having Aeris on the Highwind, he had even installed a different engine so it would run more smoothly and she would be more comfortable.
Finally Cloud walked over to Cait Sith who was dancing wildly.
"She told ME to be strong, ME Cait Sith, or even Cait Sith one, but it stills counts,"
"We're here," Called Cid as he landed the Highwind.
Cloud straightened out his suit and checked his hair, he smiled to himself and stepped off the highwind.
