Chapter 7 "A Promise to Carry Out Together"
Cloud went in the inn and entered his room. He found Tifa arranging and packing her things up. She wore a plain, black vest.
"Hey Tifa..." Cloud began. She looked up at him,
"I'm packing up my equipment and provisions that I need. I went over to Shera's house and she gave me this top since she said she never wore it anyways. She told me that by early tomorrow, the air-sub ship will be ready."
"That's good," he said.
Tifa nodded and turned her back to him, resumed to packing up. Cloud sat on a bed near Tifa and watched her for a moment.
"I can see you. But I sense that it will fade away." Cloud remembered these words Tifa told him and wondered about it. He wanted to ask her what she meant by that but decided to leave her alone since she was busy packing. He sighed and laid on the bed, hands behind his head, and closed his eyes.
There was another flashback. Cloud and Tifa were sitting at the well, legs lifting up and down occasionally in silence.
"Cloud," Tifa started. He looked at her,
"Yeah?" he responded.
"Do you think you'll be staying here all your life?"
Cloud looked down and thought about it for a moment.
"I dunno. The world is big. And I wanna get a chance to travel all around it."
Tifa looked at him and asked,
"Can I come with you?"
Cloud nodded, "It's dangerous, but I'll take care of you, don't worry."
"You promise?"
Cloud gave a sure nod.
"I promise."
(back to present scene)
"I guess that promise was kept," Tifa said, sitting on another bed across.
Cloud looked at his feet, "Yeah." He looked at Tifa,
"We were really something back then. Funny how we completely forgot about these memories... They were the most important."
Now it was Tifa's turn to look at her feet. 'He's changed...' she thought to herself. She recalled back at the crater, where the only thing that concerned him was Aeris. He hadn't mentioned her for three days. 'That will change, though... Soon, he will completely forget about the memories that we had shared and me...' Tifa closed her eyes.
"Tifa..?"
She opened her eyes.
"Been a bit drifty lately. Are you alright?" Cloud asked.
She looked at him. After a thoughtful pause, she took a deep breath and spoke,
"You really think that they were really important?"
"What?"
"The memories."
"Ofcourse." Cloud then asked her,
"Did you remember any of them before?"
Tifa paused for a moment.
"The one about the promise to travel around the world together."
"You know, come to think of it, we're not done with that yet," Cloud added,
"We still got the outerworld to do."
Tifa looked at him and nodded,
"Right."
Barret entered the room, followed by the others. He stretched out his arms, let out a yawn, and looked at Cloud and Tifa.
"Hey you two. Tifa, could ya move onto Cloud's bed? The one you're sitting on is mine."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GWAHAHA!! Well, that ended nicely. lol Barret cracks me up sometimes XD
Sorry if any of you really hate reading pure dialogues. I know that I tend to have a ton of conversation between the characters, but that's what you get when you play the game. That's what I wanted to do, by making this fanfic seem like you're actually playing the game! And yeah, isn't it weird that Cloud and Tifa remember their own memories together at the exact same moment in time??? lol I'm criticizing my own work. (sigh) Oh well, I just find it amusing to poke fun at it because I'm simply a very bizarre girl.
So yep. I'll be heading off somewhere... OO Sayonara! :waves goodbye and runs off:
