Fear and Courage Chapter 11
Back on the Highwind 2 the next morning, Cait Sith took a deep breath in and exhaled deeply. "Gawd, this brings back memories. Even though it's not the original, and even though I'm not real, I still look back on the good
times we had on here. Ha, I remember when Yuffie was stood near the
Operation Room, feelin' all sick..."
"Well, nuttin's changed there then!" Barret interrupted. This caused
everyone except Yuffie to laugh. "Guys, that is so not funny!"
"If you'll lemme finish! And she wanted Cloud to sign that contract, so you'd get all the material once it was all over. He wouldn't even read it
cuz it woulda made him sick, too."
"I remember," Tifa started. "After Cloud and I hade made it out of Lifestream, we stood in the Operation Room. Barret asked him if he's going to keep fighting to save the Planet. Cloud replied 'It's like you always said Barret.' Nanaki didn't understand, but everyone shouted, "There ain't
no gettin' offa this train we on!"
"Oh yeah," Cid looked down and laughed. "I remember that, too."
"What about the time, when Grandfather came with us? He'd always wanted to do that. Fly on an airship, like this one here." Nanaki looked down, and a
single tear rolled down his furry cheek and hit the floor with a tiny splash. Tifa bent down and hugged him tight. "We had many fond memories of
Bugenhagen. Please don't cry. Like I told you before, remember? At the
Ghost Hotel? Be strong." She wiped his fur with her finger. "Yes," he lifted his head with pride. "You're right, Tifa. I am Nanaki, son of Seto,
afraid of nothing."
"That's right." She encouraged him once more.
"So many memories." Vincent murmured.
"It's good to reflect on 'em like this, huh?" Yuffie asked them all.
"Yeah," they all sighed in unison. After a long, but not uncomfortable silence, Cid broke it by saying, "By the way, MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU GUYS! Ha!
Bet none of you thought of that, huh?" "Actually, me and Tifa greeted each other this morning with them words, but
not as loud." Vincent said plainly.
"Damnit!"
"And all us guys said Merry Christmas, anyway." Yuffie added.
"Grrrr. Fine then, Merry Christmas, you idiots."
"There's a whole bag of presents and cards over there, and I jus can't wait
to open them!" Yuffie cried with glee.
"Yes well, we'll be there in no time, and you can open them then." Tifa
told the ninja.
"Saywha?" Barret shouted.
"You mean, we can't open 'em yet?" Yuffie asked, almost teary eyed. "It would be nice to wait until we arrived at Cloud's Villa to open them
up." Vincent backed Tifa up, who was now looking guilty.
"Well, let's go, off to Costa del Sol! Yuffie, you faint again, I'm not
carryin' ya!" Cid shouted to her.
