A/N: Man these revisions take up a good portion of my day...I noticed that With every sad chapter I always end up ruining the seriousness, but adding something funny...I have yet to decide if that's good or bad. Meh, all gramatical errors near the end are meant to be. So if I pit 'me' instead of 'my' that's how its s'posta be.

Part one

Chapter eight

Soiled sight by a miracle of nature

"Hey get up if we are going to make it up there we have to leave now." Tyler said shaking cloud who was sleeping on the couch in Tifa's living room. Cloud grunted and lazily got up.

Amero Loves The Music

Tifa woke up several hours after Cloud and Tyler had left.

"Good Morning, Mrs. Strife" Tifa said as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

"Morning" She answered, sitting at the table reading the newspaper.

"Did Cloud not come back last night?" Tifa asked noticing he was not around. Generally he wasn't around in the morning, but he wasn't there when she had fallen asleep. She even waited for him to return, but sometime after her friends tried to console her he disappeared. Biggs, Wedge, and Jesse left slightly after the funeral and went back to Midgar, but Monica and Tyler had remained.

"No, not last night this morning him and this other kid stopped in for some breakfast. I think they said they were going for a hike." Mrs. Strife said continuing to read the newspaper. Tifa shrugged and got up and went outside. It was a nice morning outside clouds dotted the sky but the sun still shined brightly.

"Yo Tif!" Called Monica from the other side of town.

"Hey!" She answered simply. She wasn't really in the talking mood. Not until she found out where Cloud was.

"I heard both the Cloud and Tyler went off on a hike." Monica said happily swinging her hands from side to side.

"Creepy, huh?" Tifa laughing a little. She was somewhat relieved. Cloud could take care of himself if Tyler decided to jump him.

"No I think it would be better for your future husband and mine to get along." Monica said clasping her hands together.

"Yeah I guess…WHAT!" Tifa said allowing her words to sink in.

"Just kidding…Or am I? Anyway let's go for a hike of our own. Like down to that stream or something. Ya know do a little swimming." Monica suggested giggling like a mad schoolgirl every so often.

"Uhh Yeah ok I don't have much else to do." Tifa said going in her house and putting on her bikini under her clothes.

Amero is tired

"Damn this steep mountain" Tyler grumbled as he hiked the steep ledges of Mount Nibel.

"This is something like work, huh?" Cloud said trying to regain his footing after he slipped several feet on a patch of loose rock.

"It better be him or I'm going to lay the smack down on those ShinRa soldiers." Tyler said as they both reached flat ground. Finally they were nearing the Mt. Nibel reactor. They both could tell. The dirt around the reactor was dark and discolored after having large amounts of mako sucked from it. They stumbled upon the mako fountain and near the fountain was a pitched cream colored tent.

"Good were here." Tyler sighed loudly. Cloud 'shhhed' him, but it was too late. The sound of clinking metal and rustling trash erupted from the tent.

"Eh who's out there!" A gruff voice said stumbling outside the tent with a shotgun witch he aimed sloppily at them.

"Mr. Lockhart?" Cloud asked curiously.

"Yeah what's it to…oh Cloud good to see ya how's it going!" A slightly drunken Mr. Lockhart smiled wearily. It was Tifa's father, but he looked different his once smooth face was riddled with stubble. His eyes were bloodshot and the rank smell of liquor surrounded him like an ominous aura.

"What did you do to yourself man." Tyler said tilting his head back from the strong smell emanating from him.

"Oh well I just been sitting here enjoyin' the rest of me life." Mr. Lockhart in his barely decipherable drunken tongue. Mr. Lockhart wobbled around slightly before he found himself leaning on the mako fountain.

"You don't plan on going back to Tifa then." Cloud mutter sadly sounding slightly hurt. Mr. Lockhart laughed and glared down into the small pool of mako that lay inside the fountian. Cloud opened his eyes wide with shock as he spit into the blueish green pool causing it to ripple like thick mercury.

"That stupid bitch…Nah!…She's to much like that fuckin' wife o' mine" He said leaning his shotgun up against the fountain and staggering forward.

"Hey don't call your daughter that. I don't care how drunk you are…" Tyler said running up to the guy and grabbing his shirt collar forcefully.

"Hey I can call her whatever I wanna she is as you said my daughter. Fuck if she was a little cuter I'd bang the shit out of her." Mr. Lockhart said starting to giggle like a leprechaun. Cloud had heard enough he took the hilt of his sword and smacked the back of his head sending him to the ground. Cloud practically pounced on top of the fallen man and began to pummel him with his fists. Cloud beat him until blood from his nose and mouth covered his fists. Tyler quickly pulled Cloud off of him and dragged him away kicking and screaming. After Cloud had calmed a bit Mr. Lockhart got up and reached for his loaded shotgun.

"Woah shit! Come on Cloud let's go!" Tyler pulled Cloud into the brush by his shoulder until Cloud started to run from the horrible sight by himself.
