The ship finally docked at the rebuilt Midgar. The place was busy and looked very happy. Tifa was sure things were still run the same. After a quick goodbye and a promise to see each other again Cid and Tifa parted ways.

As Tifa walked through the city she realized how much it actually changed. There were real buildings rather than tents. There were children running around and they were actually happy, something she had almost never felt as a child herself. The citizens were working diligently in sector 7. There were still piles of rubble in places that were out of the way but they remained as reminders of the terrible past that plagued the city.

As she went through the sector she entered a weapon shop, just in case. She bought herself the grand glove. This was her favorite glove. She had sold all of her weapons and armor but kept her materia, all mastered. She had steal, fire, Shiva, cure, and some how acquired Clouds Ultima. She also had others but these were her favorites.

She decided to make her way to sector 5 after a stroll through all of the shops. This sector was still full of monsters that seemed never to stop coming. She was forced to fight several hell houses and a couple hole eaters. It was fun to fight again but she missed the others by he side. As she felt this despair she was hit. It didn't do much damage but it brought her back to real life. She quickly killed it and ran off to sector 5.

As she made her way to Elmyra's house she cast a cure spell to the gash on her leg. "Stupid hole eater." She hated the way cure felt but it was better than tasting a potion. Those things almost made her vomit. Everyone else just grimaced and Yuffie mocked her the one time she wasn't feeling well and she actually vomited after a potion. Tifa knocked Yuffie for a loop over that one. That wasn't a good day.

Generally her and Yuffie got along well, they had actually been the best of friends. Aeris was kind of an outcast among the group. She was always by herself. Tifa had tried to make friends with her but she had always been too distant.

With all the thinking Tifa was shocked when she found herself in sector 3.

Sector 3 was in ruins. no one was here, and it was kind of spooky.

"Goodness, what on earth am I doing here?" As she turned around to go to Elmyra's house she heard a groan. She went into a fighting stance prepared for the worst. She quickly shifted her vision around. She saw a pile move. She ran over, ready to defeat whatever may pop out. Tifa had never been in sector 3 she had no idea what to expect, and she was glad her Limit was full.

She looked into the pile and saw a man, or what was left of one. He was almost in need of a phoenix down and she was glad she had stocked up on them. She kneeled down and cast cure 3. He regained full consciousness and looked at her with brilliant green eyes, no hint of mako.

"Hi, thanks for your help. I don't know what happened." He stood and she realized how striking he was. "I wish I..could...repay..y..o..u"

All of a sudden he collapsed and Tifa caught him. She almost fell when she caught his scent. She knew she couldn't bring a unconscious man to Elmyra's house without being questioned. So she decided to bring him to the Inn in sector 7.

As she went through sector 6 she was really not in the mood to fight and simply demolished anything that got in her way. She was a very high level and was very proud of herself. She finally made it to the Inn. The Inn keeper stared at her questioningly. This was probably due to the large man draped across her shoulders, unconscious. He shrugged it off and gave her the key.

She made he way too the room and put him on the couch. She was desperate to know his name but knew it may take a while.

She sat on the bed and took off her boots. As she shut off the light and laid down she wondered why she is doing this, why she was helping this man. Plus she wondered if Elmyra was concerned. With these thoughts she drifted off into a restless sleep.
