This is the final chapter I swear. I don't own Final Fantasy 7.
Chapter 15: Epilogue
( 5 years later)
Sam had been placed where he had wanted. Yuffie still lived in Wutai, but never dated anyone since Sam died. Cloud and Tifa got married, Cid and Shera followed their example and got married and also had two kids. Aeris and Vincent found out that Sam and Sephiroth were his kids Aeris really was Alfena's so they kept going out, and not long after got married. Red had found a female of his race and they had two cubs. Barret married Aeris's stepmother, and they had a kid too. Barret had told Marlene that he wasn't her real father and she ran off and became a wonderer. Cait Sith had been shut down but Reeve took his place. Sephiroth had went with Marlene when she left.
(Sam's statue)
The wind was blowing flower petals all over the place, vines had grown on Sam's statue, and there was writing on the rock he was placed on it said, ' The bravest man in the world, and a true friend.' A crack appeared on Sam's statue, then another, then a shard fell off reviling a skin. A few seconds later all the stone fell off and Sam opened his eyes.
Sam: I'm alive?
Sam moved his arms and legs then pinched himself.
Sam: yep I'm alive!
Sam jumped off the rock and turned to look at in and saw the writing.
Sam: so they thought I was the bravest man alive, hope I don't give them heart attacks when I come knocking at their door.
Sam looked around.
Sam: exactly where I wanted, but who to go to first? I guess Red would be the best place. In bedded in the rock he was on was his maysune and hanging off it was his shirt and leather jacket.
Sam: I thought I told them to let Yuffie have them, well she probably put them here.
Sam put his shirt and jacket on and pulled the maysune out of the rock.
Sam: to Cosmo Canyon.
(at Cosmo Canyon)
Red moved into his grandfather's look out, with his mate and his kids.
There was a knock at Red's door, and one of the elders came in.
Elder: a stranger just came into the city.
Red: what does he look like.
Elder: he has silver hair, blue eyes, and a maysune on his belt. He's freighting the people.
Red: on purpose?
Elder: no he just looks scary.
Red: I'll go see him.
Red went down to the eternal fire where the man was sitting warming up he had is back turned to Red.
Red: who are you and why are you here?
Man: I'm here to see Red.
Red: is that you Sephiroth, where's Marlene?
The man stood up and turned toward Red.
Man: do I look like Sephiroth?
Red: S-S….S-Sam?!?!
Sam: the one and only… I think.
Red: how?!?
Sam: I don't know I just woke up, and came here.
Red: let's go to my home.
Sam followed Red to his home and went to the top floor with the holigrams in it.
Red: why not go to Yuffie?
Sam: I don't know where anyone is.
Red: how did you know I'd be here?
Sam: I just figured that you'd be the one to stay in their home town.
Just then two cubs came running in.
????: dad who is that?
Red: this is Sam.
????: I thought you said he was dead?
Sam: I was.
??????: then how did you come back?
Sam: I ………………… have no idea……
Just then another Red walked in.
Sam: let me guess, this is you mate?
Red: that would be correct her name is Colinie, and our kids names are Shean and Mattie.
Sam: it's nice to meet you all.
Sam turned back to Red.
Sam: how long have I been gone?
Red: five years…
Sam: so I've missed five years……
Red: Yuffie hasn't moved on, just in chase you were wondering.
Sam: I'm going to her last.
Red: why?
Sam: so I can think of what to say.
Red: so where are you going now?
Sam: where's Cloud and Tifa?
Red: they are in Nebliem so is Aeris and Vincent.
Sam: then that's where I'm going, and don't tell anyone that I'm back ok?
Red: I promise.
Sam left the house and started toward Nebliem.
(At Cloud's house)
Aeris and Vincent had come over for a visit and they were all sitting at the table eating and talking. It was dark, raining, and lighting outside.
Cloud: I see you finally took that claw off.
Vincent: I didn't think I'd need it anymore.
Tifa: anyone want mo….
There was a knock at the door.
Tifa: I'll get it.
Tifa went to the door and opened it, but she couldn't see the man's face.
Tifa: who are you?
There was a flash of lighting and Tifa saw the man's face and screamed. Cloud, Aeris, and Vincent jumped up from the table at ran to Tifa.
Man: boo.
Aeris: no way…
Vincent: what kind of magic is this?
Sam: I don't know how I'm alive……
Cloud: come in.
Sam came in and they all set down at the table and Tifa made Sam a plate.
Sam: thank you.
Vincent: how long have you been back?
Sam: since this morning.
Cloud: it took you that long to get here?
Sam: I went to see Red first, he's the only one I knew where he was.
Tifa: so you haven't seen Yuffie yet?
Sam shock his head, and took a sip of his drink.
Tifa: she's the queen of Wutai now.
Sam spat out his drink
Sam: SHE'S WHAT?!?!?!
Vincent: the queen of Wutai.
Sam: who's the king?
Vincent: isn't one..
Sam: I heard Marlene ran off and Sephiroth followed anyone seen then since then?
Cloud: nope.
Sam: where's Barret?
Cloud: Klam.
Tifa: that where you're going next?
Sam: yes.
Cloud: I'm going with you.
Sam: why?
Cloud: there's something I need to see in the ruins.
Sam: ruins?
Cloud: oh that's right you don't know, we didn't rebuild Midgar it's a ghost town, we call it the ruins.
Sam: oh… what's there?
Vincent: It's the grave of everyone Chaos killed, and Cloud's ultimate sword.
Cloud: I put in on one of the graves.
Sam: who's?
Tifa: a friends.
Sam: what you're not gonna tell me?
Cloud: you'll see when we get there…
Sam: when do you want to leave?
Cloud: in the morning.
Sam: ok
They finished their meal and went to bed.
(next morning)
The sun was just coming over the top of the mountains when Sam woke up and when down stairs. He heard someone in the kitchen and went to see who it was.
Sam: oh good morning Tifa.
Tifa: you're one to wake up early.
Sam: I could say the same about you.
Tifa: so what do you like for breakfast?
Sam: …….I can choose?
Tifa: yeah.
Sam: pancakes and eggs and some ham please.
Tifa: how many eggs?
Sam: two, and scrambled.
Tifa: how many pancakes?
Sam: two.
Tifa started cooking.
Cloud: killer bees.
Sam turned to Cloud.
Sam: huh?
Cloud: run Tifa killer bees...
Tifa: he's sleep walking again.
Cloud: I've been stung.
Tifa: Cloud honey WAKE UP!!
Cloud snapped into reality
Cloud: goddamn it I did it again didn't I?
Sam: if you mean sleep waking while dreaming about killer bees yes you did.
Cloud sat down next to Sam.
Cloud: two eggs scrambled and three pancakes.
Sam whacked Cloud over the head.
Cloud: what was that for?!?
Sam: you didn't even tell her good morning…. and didn't say please.
Tifa: he's always like that.
Sam: you're lucky if I talked to my mom that way she'd whack me on the head.
Cloud and Tifa laughed.
Tifa: but I'm not Cloud's mom now am I?
Sam: not that I know.
Cloud: so Tifa…… notice that the ham is on fire?
Tifa: huh? OH!!
Tifa grabbed the skillet and put a little water on the ham to put the fire out.
Tifa: sorry Sam I'll make you another one.
Sam: you don't have to do that.
There was a knock at the door.
Sam: I'll get it.
Sam opened the door and Vincent and Aeris were standing there.
Aeris: can we have breakfast with you Vincent burned it again…
Sam was shocked.
Sam: you cook?
Vincent: a little……
Sam: you'll have to ask Tifa.
They came inside and followed Sam back to the kitchen.
Cloud: good morning Vincent, Aeris.
Sam: it seems Vincent burned breakfast…I didn't know he could cook.
Tifa: we had him cook at our last reiuon…
Cloud: when he gets it right he out does Tifa.
Tifa: I admit………damn it was good.
Vincent: you're all giving me more credit than I deserve…
Tifa: of course you can join us, what do you want?
Vincent: I'll have what ever Sam is having.
Aeris: 10 million of your buttermilk pancakes.
Tifa: 10 million?
Aeris: I'm joking…… 5 of your buttermilk pancakes, and one scrambled egg.
(three hours later)
Everyone was standing outside.
Cloud: bye honey, be back in a few days.
Tifa: bye.
Sam and Cloud walked out of the town.
Cloud: so where do you want to stop next?
Sam: Kalm then we'll go to Rocket town and fly to Wutai.
Cloud: sounds good to me.
( 3 days later in Kalm)
Sam: so which one is Barret house.
Cloud pointed to a two story house in the top right of the town. Sam and Cloud walked up to the house and Cloud knocked. Barret answered the door and he was wearing an apron.
Sam: oh god!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!
Cloud: YOU'RE IN AN APRON HAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHH.
Barret: Sam?
Sam: that's me.
Barret: nice to see you.
Sam: you're not surprised?
Barret: I've seen stranger…
Cloud: we can't stay…
Barret: have you seen Marlene?
Cloud: no…
Barret: I'll see you around then?
Sam: yeah we'll probably be later, can we spend the night?
Barret: This isn't no hotel, but sure.
Cloud: thanks.
Sam and Cloud walked out of the city and onto the two Gold chocoboos Cloud and Sam had stopped at the ranch to pick up. They rode toward Midgar and were there with in an hour.
Sam: woa……
The slums of Midgar were overgrown by vines and grass. The plates also had plant life but not was much as the slums. The Shinra building stood in the center and it had vines growing about half way up it.
Sam: in fives years life came back this fast?
Cloud: it's the second most place with a huge amount of Mako.
Sam: and the first?
Cloud: the northern crater.
Sam: so where are we going?
Cloud: the very top of the Shinra building.
Sam: well what are we waiting for?
Cloud and Sam walked up to the entrance and found the door was open, so went through. They climbed the old railroad up to the plates. From there they went to the Shira building and climbed to the top use the stairs because of the lack of power. Once at the president's office Cloud lead him to the balcony the up so stair that lead to the very top. Sam looked around and saw a stuate of him self in the center.
Sam: what the?
Cloud: once we told the world what you had done they thought you should have a statue over looking the ruins, as a reminder of your heroism.
Sam: so why are we here?
Cloud walked up to the statue Sam followed. Cloud picked up a sword.
Cloud: when they made the statue I put my ultimate sword here.
Sam: that was nice of you.
Cloud: we should go before we wake the monsters.
Sam: monsters? Let's go.
They left Midgar and spent the night with Barret, the next morning they left for Rocket town.
( 4 days later at Rocket town)
Cloud knocked at Cid's door, and a kid answered.
Cloud: I must have the wrong house…
Kid: who ya look'n for?
Cloud: Cid Highwind.
Kid: you got the right place.
Sam: damn you're Cid's kid?
Kid: DAD ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS CUSSED!!
Cid: goddamn it Cal!
Cid came to the door.
Cid: oh h…………………………holy mother of Jesus, I'm see things.
Sam: no Cid you're not that crazy yet.
Cid: you're alive?
Sam: yep.
Cid: I'll be damned SHERA COME HERE!!
Shera come to the door, saw Sam, and fainted.
Sam: crap.
Cid: Shera!
(three hours later)
Shera: so why are you here?
Sam: I was hope Cid could fly me to Wutia.
Cid: going to see Yuffie?
Sam: yes.
Cid: there's some good news and some bad news, which one you want first?
Sam: the bad.
Cid: the Highwind's scrap. The good news is I have the Slipstream which is a hell of a lot faster than the Highwind.
Sam: when can we leave?
Cid: now if ya want.
Sam: yeah, and Cid after you drop me off get everyone to Nebliem then come back for me ok?
Cid: why?
Sam: I have to leave, and I want to say good bye to everyone.
Cloud: leave?
Cid: what about Yuffie?
Sam: I know……… but I have a job to do……
Cid: of course I will.
Sam: thanks.
Cid took Sam the Slipstream it looked like a stealth plane and it was black. They climbed aboard and in three minutes they landed outside Wutai.
Sam: I knew it was fast but this fast damn Cid you out did your self.
Cid: actually Shera come up with the design, I just built it.
Sam: tell her she could go into business making planes.
Cid: that would be a good way to make money.
Sam: which one is Yuffie's house?
Cid: remember Godo's house that's Yuffie's now.
Sam: thanks.
Cid: see you in a few days, oh and if Yuffie's not home tell the person that answers the door that you're a friend of Yuffie, and Cid Highwind said that you're a friend and to let you wait there for her.
Sam: ok…
Sam went to Yuffie's house.
Sam: oh god I'm so nervous.
Sam knocked on the door and a few seconds later a little girl answered the door.
Kid: how can I help you?
Sam: is Yuffie here?
Kid: no.
Sam: darn…………… Cid Highwind said I could wait here for her.
Kid: you know uncle Cid? Was that the slipstream that landed eelier?
Sam: it was.
Kid: sure come in.
Sam went in and the kid took her to the kitchen.
Kid: my mom went to get food she'll be back soon.
Samthinking: mom?
(Two hours later)
The door opened and Yuffie walked in, with grocers in her hands.
Yuffie: Angel I'm home!
Sam: who?
Kid: that would be me.
The kid ran out of the kicten and to Yuffie.
Angel: mommy, you have a friend here to see you.
Sam: mommy?…….ok what have I missed…

Yuffie began to cry and ran to him and hugged him.
Angel: mommy who is he?
Yuffie: angel honey this is your dad.
Sam and Angel: what?!?
Yuffie: she's your duather.
Angel: daddy?
Sam: I'm gonna faint now.

Sam: I remember now.
Yuffie: Cid's downstairs.
Sam: Yuffie……………… I know I just came back…… I had planned to spend time with you but I can't stay…
Yuffie began to cry.
Yuffie: is it because you have a kid now?
Sam: no, no not at all, I told you when we first started going out that I would have to leave one day.
Yuffie: I remember……………………I just didn't think it would happen any time soon.
