Author's Notes: Hey all. I'm updating with two chapters at once here. Not
bad for some who updates once in a month of Sundays.
Disclaimer: Don't own any character used in any of the chapters so far.
Might add one later, but then again, I might not.
Fear and Courage Chapter 8
The room was all lit up with the lights from the Christmas tree. It was stunningly decorated with gold tinsel and red baubles. He walked right up to the tree, and his cobalt eyes carefully scanned it from top to bottom.
Again he looked up, but this time, he gazed at it for longer.
The striking gold angel at the peak of the pine tree. Everyday, since he had put up that tree by himself, he found himself staring up at the angel,
and thought of Tifa.
"Tifa," he thought. "My angel, the love of my life. If only I could have
been better, more worthy. I don't deserve someone as beautiful as you."
Just as he was thinking this, a figure in a cloak appeared by his side and
called his name. He turned suddenly to see this form stood there,
motionless. "Cloud, I've been wanting to talk to you."
He recognised that voice. Where from? Then it hit him.
"Aeris, is that you?" he asked the cloaked figure. It lifted its arms and pulled the hood from over its face. It was indeed Aeris. Standing right in front of his very own cerulean eyes was the girl who had given her life for the Planet, was stabbed through the back by Sephiroth's Masamune, and was
now standing there? He didn't understand.
"Yes, it is me, Aeris. Cloud, I have missed you so much."
"Aeris, I've missed you to, but why, why are you here? Is the Planet in
trouble again?" he inquired. "Oh no," she replied. "Nothing like that at all. Look, I've been watching you these past few evenings, staring at the Christmas or sat on the beach outside. You've been thinking a lot lately, about everyone, haven't you?"
"Yeah, yeah I have."
"You're not the only one who has," Aeris whispered in his ear.
"Who else has?" "A friend of yours, who you have been thinking about the most since you all split up. One who has also been thinking about you the most too. One who
has something to tell you."
"You mean, Tifa?" This shocked Cloud. She had been thinking about him, too? "Yes Cloud, Tifa. I have been to see her, and she's been worried about you.
She hasn't seen you in a long time. But rather than going after her, it
would be better if you stayed here, until the time comes."
Cloud was now confused. "How will I know when the time comes?" Aeris smiled
and answered, "Don't worry Cloud, you'll know. Trust me."
"Okay Aeris, I trust you." Cloud nodded. "I must go now. And yes you do deserve Tifa. You have done a lot for her,
and vice versa. Good bye Cloud and Merry Christmas."
"Bye Aeris. Merry Christmas." Cloud murmured.
The corner of his lips tugged, as he knew that Tifa had been thinking of
him, too. "When the time comes..."
Yay! Chapter 9 next. We go to the Gold Saucer and have some fun! R n R
