Prexistence: I am sorry this one took a bit longer than I originally planned. I wrote it out and then found a HUGE error in it, so I had to rethink on how I was going to do this chapter, but no worries it is fixed

We were outside of Midgar looking back at the city. "So, how do you suppose we get to Ancient City? I called Cid and he told me he was too busy to come here, later on he said he could make it." Yuffie told me. I sighed. Just I what I needed another obstacle to get in my way.

"What about the ship? Wait, that would take longer to get to than Ancient City." I mused out loud. Yuffie had her hand to her chin, I could tell she was also trying to think of a way to get there. "Maybe someone around here has a boat." I said to her, but he shook her head.

"No one around here, unless you walk back to Kalm Tif. And I don't think anyone there would have a boat. I swear I am going to kick Cid in the balls for making us wait this long." She said as she folded her arms over her chest.

"How did you get over here?" I asked her, remembering that she had to of traveled over water to get to Midgar. "A guy in Costel De Sol gave me a ride over here, but he left as soon as I got off the boat." She replied. I looked towards the ground. There has to be a way to get over there. Then we both heard a noise coming from the sky and looked up.

A Shinra airship was landing near the other side of Midgar, most likely picking up the Turks. "Here's an idea, we sneak aboard and get a free ride." Yuffie said as she started to run to the airship. I chased after her and ran beside her. "How do you know if they are going to go to that part of the planet?" I called to her. She just shrugged.

"Wherever they land, everyone has to empty out of the ship sooner or later, then we hot wire the ship and take off." She yelled. As we came closer, we could see the Turks talking to someone that appeared to be in a wheelchair outside the ship. Yuffie quickly hid behind a rock and I followed her lead. "There has to be another area for luggage." She whispered to me.

I looked at the bottom of the ship for the area and spotted it. "Right there." I pointed to the square shaped cut out with the handle sticking out of it. Yuffie nodded and spoke, "We got to go now. They are starting to board again."

We ran underneath the area of the ship as the Turks and the other man were going back on the ship. I lifted Yuffie onto my shoulders so she could reach the handle. As soon as she grabbed onto it I pulled her down and the door opened. "Okay, lift me up." Yuffie commanded. She stood on my shoulders again and grabbed onto the edge and lifted herself into the airship.

I could hear the engines starting to turn on. I had to get up onto the ship before it started to take off. I jumped up and Yuffie caught my hand and started to pull me up. The airship had just started to lift into the air. "Yuffie get my up!" I yelled at her as I dangled above the ground. She pulled harder and lifted me up until I was able to grab the edge of the opening of the door and pulled myself up.

I looked over at Yuffie, who looked like she was listening for something. "What is it?" I asked her, but she only shushed me. "There is someone coming." She said quietly and pulled me to my feet.

We hid behind a few crates that were in the room as the door opened and two men dressed in the usual blue Shinra uniform entered. "Who left the door open?" One of them spoke and raced over to shut the door while the other one stood looking around. "Do you think someone got in?" The one standing asked.

The man that shut the door came toward the other. "Don't be stupid, there is no one that could get in here. We just got out of ex-Midgar, no. One lives there." The man smacked the other. "Let's get out of here, we are suppose to be in Bone Village in 30 minutes." The man spoke as they both left the room.

Yuffie peaked her head up to make sure that is was safe to come out. "Well what do you know, Shinra is actually good for something after all." Yuffie smirked as she sat atop of a crate. "Looks like things are finally going our way." I smiled.

30 minutes later

"They finally stopped, let's get out of here." I said to Yuffie, who took a snooze while we were waiting until we arrived. I wish had taken a nap, but I know it would be no use. I won't be able to sleep right until I know Cloud is safe. "Can you open the door?" I asked Yuffie, the handle was on the outside and I didn't know of a way to get out of here.

She looked over at me like it was as easy as opening a door. "You're lucky you brought me along." She smirked as she took out a fire materia from her pocket and started to burn the edge around the door. A few sparks shot from the door, but then it finally pealed away and she kicked it and it opened. "Come on we gotta go before they notice that the door is damaged."

She jumped down, then I followed. I looked over to see that the Turks were already out of the airship. "Come on let's go." I said to Yuffie as we tried to make it to Bone Village without being seen by them.

"It's not that far from here. It should only take five minutes." Yuffie said as she looked over in the direction. We started making our way. It would have taken probably shorter time to get there, but we had to go a different way to make sure we were not seen.

When we reached the place it looked just like Midgar, except the buildings here were not damaged. However, there was no one outside. I yawned and stretched my arms out in front of me. Yuffie looked over at me with concern. "Maybe we should get some sleep before we go into the Sleeping Forest." She told me.

"No, we don't need to. I'll be fine." I told her. I didn't want to stop. She shook her head at me. "We are stopping at an Inn first then we will continue." She said to me and I knew she meant it. "Fine let's go then." I gave in, maybe rest wouldn't be as bad as it seemed.

We checked into a newly built Inn that had been built about a year ago here for the miners. Yuffie and myself walked to our room. Yuffie plopped herself on the bed closest to the window as I took the bed near the door. "Now go to sleep, then tomorrow we find spike and beat em up for making you worry." She said trying to make me feel better I guess.

"Should you call Cid and tell him that we are not going to be at Midgar?" I asked her, but she shook her head. "Na, he can figure it out for himself." She said as she laid down on the bed. I sat down on the bed and laid down as well. I just stared at the ceiling, a million thoughts ran in my mind, is Cloud ok, why didn't he tell me what was wrong, does he even want to see me?

I heard a snore coming from the bed beside mine and looked over a Yuffie, who had fallen asleep already. I glanced at the clock on the bed stand between our beds. It read 10:30 at night. I decided maybe it could hurt if I closed my eyes. As soon as I did, I fell into sleep.

3:45 in the morning

I sprang from my bed in sweat and I rang a hand through my hair. The nightmare came back again. It always started the same and always ended the same. I never had it every night, it only started two weeks ago. That was when I had called Barret to tell me where Cloud was. I need to make sure what happened in that dream does not happen in real life.

I looked over a Yuffie, who was still asleep and had her arms wrapped around her knees shivering. I got up and took the blanket from off my bed and placed it on her. I can wait until morning to go. I need to leave now. I looked at Yuffie wondering if I should leave a note for her, but I had my PHS with me I could call her later.

I exited the door and out of the Inn. It was so quiet and peaceful out here. I checked my pocket to make sure I had a Lunar Harp with me before entering the Sleeping Forest. Once I saw I had it I entered through the forest.

I could hear crickets chirping away and an owl that was perched in a try hooting. It was so dark in there I could hardly make out the ground. I pulled out a materia, not caring which one it was as long as it glowed. I grabbed a red summon one. It shined through the trees making it easy for me to see.

After a bit of walking I had finally reached the City of the Ancients. As I walked down the long path, I looked at the surroundings around this area. It was quite beautiful. Last time when we were all here I never remember seeing it like this.

I finally reached the end of the path and saw the lake where Aeris body was placed in. However, there was something there, like a body lying face down. I ran over to it, my heart thumping as soon as I saw that the person had spiky blonde hair. "Cloud!" I yelled hoping he would turn over.

When I reached him, I turned him over to see that he was unconscious and had a deep cut long his chest. It didn't look that deep and it wasn't as long as the one Sephiroth had given to me years back in the Mako reactor. "Cloud!" I tried again and shook him. I felt his pulse, thank god it was still beating.

He started to squint a bit before opening his mako blue eyes slowly. He looked at me. "Aer... Tifa?" He said to me. I knew at first he wanted to say Aeris. I began to feel a bit of my heart break, but I did my best not to let it show. "Cloud." I said as I hugged him, I could feel him wrap an arm around my back to hug me too.

Millenia's Note: As you notice we did not write Tifa's nightmare, you will see it later on, it is very important, and it kinda spoiler for later on so this way no one knows whats going to happen and yes it was very cruel to stop there, but it needed to stop there. Also heres a question, i was thinking of using another person POV in here also, but I'm not sure, should I or leave it as Tifa's POV for the whole story?

Yuki the Kitsune Youkia: a lot of really really bad stuff is coming his way. I dunt know why I like to torment him, hopefully he will have a happy ending. Thanks for revieiwng

anya112: yes, many good things come from boredom, this fic usually gets written when I have nothing else to do and when I know whats suppose to happen in it. I'm glad ya like it so far thanks for reviewing
