Tifa ran across the beach blindly. She had already tripped over her own feet numerous times. She couldn't believe what she saw and what had just happened. Aeris was her friend. She should be happy for them. If that's what Cloud wanted, then they should be together. She couldn't believe she punched him in the face. Part of her was happy about it, but most of her was remorseful. She was in such anguish. She was confused and didn't know where to go, so she just ran. She failed to notice the fact that she ran past the beach and was heading up the dunes that lead to the rocky cliffs above. She had been running for an extremely long time and for someone who was half naked and barefoot was not being cautious. She was running right along the edge of the cliffs now but was still oblivious to that fact. She, of course, failed to notice the obtrusion in her path and would have fallen if a golden hand hadn't reached across her chest and pushed her away from the ledge. Tifa landed with a thump on her rump. She let out a groan. She sat there panting for a couple of minutes until she could speak, then finally looked up to who had stopped her from falling over the edge.
"...Vincent...hello"
"Hello Tifa," he said with indifference.
They stared at each other for a couple more minutes while waiting for her to completely catch her breath.
"Vincent, what are you doing here? I thought you were in Wutai on assignment. I would have never thought to see you here. You hate then sun."
"Yes, I know. But that's why I'm here. I can't stand it in Wutai. Yuffie and Reno are at it all the time. You can't tell whether they're bitter enemies or lovers."
Tifa interrupted his explanation with her laughter. The thought of Yuffie and Reno together were hilarious.
"I think they're a bit of both."
"Yeah. I also think that. And since I'm the only one she wasn't an enemy with, she comes crying to me about it every time. It gets kind of dull after a while. I decided I needed a vacation. So here I am. What are you doing here?"
"Oh, that..."
"It's ok. You don't need to talk about it. I'm not the prying type."
"No, its just...Aeris is here."
This was the only time Tifa saw his emotions show on his face. He looked completely shocked.
"You mean, she's here...Alive?"
"Yes." Tifa said with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"Oh, I see your dilemma." Vincent, along with the rest of the world, was aware of her feelings for Cloud and Cloud's indifference between both girls. He knew that since Aeris had died, Tifa and Cloud had been closer. Everyone was glad Cloud was going to choose between either of them, even though it really was his. It was fates. And Vincent was happy Tifa was going to be with her love. Even thought Vincent seemed unemotional and cold, he also had a soft spot for lovers.
Vincent sighed. He then bent down to help Tifa stand. Then suddenly something jumped on him. He toppled on top of Tifa as he felt a sharp claw dig into his back. Tifa screamed as she looked into the yellow eyes of the beast.
