Cid Highwind pushed his goggles up on his head and jumped out of his crashed plane. He kicked the side of it in anguish.
"Stupid piece of &!#$," he said to his plane. "This is the fifth time today this #!$& thing crashed. I'm sick of this."
A small crowed started to gather around Cid and the downed Tiny Bronco. Cid acted like they weren't there and started to repair the plane.
Moments later, Cloud followed by his group pushed their way through the gawking crowd and approached the plane.
"Need any help?" Aeris asked in her normal sweet tone.
Cid poked his head around the side of the plane to look at Aeris. "What do you know about fixing planes?" he asked with a semi-cocky tone.
"Well, nothing," Aeris replied and looked down at her boots.
"Then get the $&#! away from me," Cid said then went back to fixing his plane.
"Now you watch it, buddy," said an annoyed Cloud. "That's no way to speak to a lady. You apologize to her now!"
Cid came around from the side of the plane and stood before Cloud. "And what if I don't?" he asked with a smirk.
"Then," Cloud sneered as he unsheathed his sword. "You'll have to answer to me."
"Oh, yeah?" Cid took out his spear. "We'll have to see about that."
Cloud and Cid each took a step towards each other. They were both ready for a fight.
"Cloud, no!" Aeris shouted as she ran between the two fighters. "Cloud, you can't. Not here."
"Aeris, step aside," Cloud demanded as he moved his arm towards her never removing his eyes from Cid's.
"No, Cloud," Aeris stood her ground. "I won't move. You cannot fight with him. There's no reason for it. Listen to me."
"I will not allow him to speak to you that way." Cloud tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.
"I don't care," Aeris pleaded. "Just don't fight with him. Not here. Not now. It's pointless." A single tear streaked down her cheek. Cloud reached up and wiped it away.
"Fine," Cloud said. "I won't fight him." Cloud sheathed his sword and turned and walked away.
"I'll make some tea," Tifa said following right behind Cloud.
"Tea?" asked a now wide-eyed Cid. "Hey, wait up! I like tea!" Cid scurried after them pleading for them to share their tea with him.
