Chapter 2
Finding Cloud
Arriving back in sector 7 they head for Tifa's bar.
"Where've you been? You're normally here long before now."
"Sorry, I was doing something for Reno."
"Reno, hum. Oh I remember him. He's a pain in the back side if you ask me."
"So what, I got 3,000 Gil for it."
"Working for anyone for money are we now?" Tifa questions.
"Nope, he wanted to rescue Tseng for him. Meant I got to see the Gold Saucer, I'm leaving."
"Already, but you just got here."
"Normally you can't wait to get rid of me."
"Well I..." Tifa starts to say.
"Bye Tifa," Fia says and leaves.
"What was that about Fia?" Greta asks.
"I think she has feelings for me," Fia responds.
"No way, she likes cloud," Eleanor says and the three of them leave back to Fia's house and into their separate rooms. Soon there is a knock at the door it is Tifa.
"What'd you want now?" Fia asks.
"I have a job for you if you want it," Tifa says.
"As long as it's not working at your bar," Fia jokes.
"No way," Tifa replies. "It's better than that. I want you to find cloud for me. I'll pay good."
"How much?" Fia asks.
"10,000 Gil."
"Where do you think he is?" Fia questions.
"I haven't a clue, probably in Midgar somewhere. I know he still misses Aeris."
"Fine." So Fia heads towards the church where Aeris's flowers are. There are only two children here so Fia goes to Aeris's house but there no one here too. Fia returns to her house to find that Tifa is still there.
"Find him?" she asks.
"Nope, I don't know why you couldn't look there yourself."
"I have, I... was just hoping that he maybe there when someone else looked. There's one more place he could be, but it's a long way, up north," Tifa says.
"City of the Ancients," Fia suggests.
"Yes, if you want you can borrow the Highwind to get there."
"Yes please, there's no way I can cross that water on my own."
"Do you not have Chocobo's?" Tifa questions.
"No."
"Fine, you can borrow the Highwind but at a cost," Tifa says.
"I have little money."
"1,000 Gil?" Tifa asks. Fia shakes her head. "Fine, I'll take it out of your pay. You will now get 9,000 Gil."
"Money is money to me."
"Ah, so you are doing it for the money,"
"Yes and no,"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YES AND NO?" at that moment Greta and Eleanor walk in.
"What's going on here?"
"Fine I'll do it."
"Do what Fia?" Eleanor asks.
"Bye Tifa."
"Do what Fia?" Greta asks.
"Bye Fia." Tifa leaves.
"DO WHAT FIA," Eleanor and Greta both shout.
"We're going for a trip. Come on."
"Where?" Greta asks.
"They City of the Ancients."
"Wow, but why?" Eleanor asks.
"To find Cloud." So the three of them head outside Midgar once again. They get into the Highwind. They make a stop at the Chocobo Stables where they find Choco/Mog summon Materia and equip it on Greta. They get back on the Highwind and travel to bone village. They get to bone village.
"More Tourists," a digger says. They heal and head towards the City of the Ancients. Once there they encounter an unknown enemy.
"Fire," Greta calls and casts Fire.
"Lightning," Fia calls and casts bolt.
"Ice." The unknown enemy attacks Eleanor. She has 200/250 health left.
"Lightning."
"Ice," Eleanor calls and casts ice.
"Fire." The unknown enemy is defeated. "Just who are these unknown enemies?"
"If we knew, they wouldn't be unknown," Greta says. They carry on. When the path splits in three they take the left but he's not there, so they go back and take the right. He's not there either, so they go back and take the middle one. They find cloud at the entrance of the Forgotten city.
"What do you three want?" Cloud asks.
"Tifa need your help," Fia answers.
"Tifa can look after herself."
"She sent us to find you," Eleanor says.
"So what."
"Fine, you're not the hero we thought you were," Greta says. "You wont even come help a friend who's in need."
"GOODBYE," Fia shouts. The three of them leave and a few minutes later Cloud calls to them.
"Wait." They turn around. "Alright, I'll go with you but you better not be lying." So the four of them head back to the Highwind and back to Midgar. Once they arrive in Midgar they head to Tifa's bar where they are greeted by Tifa.
"Good, you found him," Tifa says. "Here's your money." They receive 9,000 Gil.
"What, you said Tifa needed help," Cloud says, angrily.
"I do," says Tifa calmly. "I need help running the bar. So many customers."
