Tifa Lockhart sat out in the garden behind Aeris Gainsborough's house. The whole gang had arrived there just two days before but it was like they lived there for years. Tifa cooked all the meals and Barret Wallace helped Aeris do the dishes. Red XIII and Vincent Valentine hung out in the living room most of the time while Yuffie pestered them to play tag. Cloud stayed up in his room only coming out to eat. Cait Sith followed everyone around trying to read their fortunes.

Tifa sighed as a small breeze started to blow. She closed her eyes letting the breeze blow through her hair when she heard a small buzzing sound far off into the distance. She shot her eyes open and gazed upward as the noise grew louder. Seconds later, a small blue and orange plane came streaking across the sky. Smoke was pouring out of the engines and it was losing altitude fast. Tifa ran into the house.

"Hey, guys, come here quick!" she yelled. Everyone rushed into the kitchen. "I just saw a plane. It looked in bad shape. I think it crashed nearby. Maybe we should go check it out."
