Cid jumped back, Cloud stood there ith a slight hint of shock on his face, Vincent's face was hidden, and Tifa, took a step back wards. Serenity, a young woman like that, Sephiroth's sister. She looked away, she shook her head and looked down.
"I get that reaction every time some one figures this out." she murmured, and looked away.
Her eyes were still the same, but they noticed, they looked more and more like Sephiroth's the thurther away in the darkness she was. She smiled a sad like smile, because after people found that out they always tried to hurt her, or even kill her.
"You can't help who's family." said Vincent.
"We're not going to harm you for that." said Cloud.
"I know... But..." she said before she was cut off by Tifa.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you try to destroy the world like he did." said Tifa.
"I suppose so..." replied Serenity.
Later that night...
Serenity had gotten beds prepared for them and they were asleep all except Cloud and Serenity. Cloud heard foot steps echoing down the hall and down the stairs, he sat up and quietly left the room, not to disturb anyone. He went down stairs to see Serenity walking outside, her skin was pale like the moon, her eyes glowed like her brother's, her har glistened in the moon light. Cloud walked up behind her, and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Nice night huh?" asked Cloud.
"I was just thinking about him again..." she replied looking down at the ground.
"About Sephiroth?" asked Cloud.
"I wounder... If I had been there, would he have stayed the same?" she looked up at Cloud.
"Possibly... But who knows."
"It's just... So hard... I love him like a sibling... And yet I've never met him."
"... Before he went insane, he was rather cold, emotionless."
"I'm... So sorry." she murmured.
"It's not your fault."
She looked back at Cloud a few tears streamed down her face, she embraced him, cloud looked startled for only a moment, but then he embraced her back. Then a thought of Aeris came back into his head. Serenity reminded him a lot of Aeris not only through her appearence but through her actions. He closed his eyes, and it felt like the whole world around them went black.
"Thank you, Cloud." said Serenity, wipeing away one of her tears.
Cloud smiled at her, a kind yet, forlorn smile, one of that which she usually gave off. She looked back up at the moon then she saw it, a shooting star.
"Oh, Cloud, look!" she said. Cloud looked up and saw the shooting star as well, "Make a wish and it might come true!"
Cloud smiled and made his wish, as well did Serenity, she looked so innocent it was hard to believe she was Sephiroth's sister. He looked up to see the star but it was gone, Serenity looked up at the sky as well, she saw the moon, it was full and beautiful. She smiled as Cloud smiled, he looked down at her, and she looked up at him.
"It was a beautiful night tonight wasn't it?" asked Serenity.
"It was." replied Cloud.
"I wished he could've had some nights like this."
"Yeah..." replied Cloud.
"Well it's late, let's get back to sleep." said Serenity.
"Yeah." said Cloud.
Serenity hugged him and walked back into the house, wind blew through Cloud's hair, and he stood there gazeing upon the moon.
"Aeris... It was a full moon when you died too wasn't it?" said Cloud to himself. He looked back up at the sky, and another shooting star flew above him.
