The next day Tifa wasn't totally sure what her next move would be. She spent the majority of the day with Marlene. They acted like sisters. Tifa had always wanted a little sister and Marlene was a perfect little sister. At about nine Marlene was off to bed. Tifa was no where near tired and decided she wanted to go out and have some fun. She went to find Daniel.

Barret had take Daniel out and they were practicing their moves on each other. This wasn't such a good idea on Barret's part. He looked like he had gotten his ass kicked all day.

"Barret, if you're done here, I would like to steal Daniel for the night." She couldn't totally conceal the laugh that had suddenly arisen. He noticed this and glared at her.

"Take the ! Im done with him!" Barret slowly got up and limped his way into the house, muttering something about 'he aint so strong, I let him have it'.

"You didn't have to beat him up that much." Tifa crossed her arms in false anger.

He smiled at her. "He came at me, all I did was defend myself. I swear!" Tifa thought he looked very cute.

"Wanna go out for a drink?" Before he had a chance to answer she had a hold of his arm and was pulling him toward the house to tell Elmyra where they were going.

When they got to the bar, it was almost empty. They sat on a couple of stools and ordered. As Tifa looked around, she realized how much business the Seventh Heaven actually had gotten.

After they had their drinks they began to talk again. Tifa told many stories of the groups adventure and he told of his own battles. They were true enthralling and before they knew it they had at least nine drinks a piece and it was very, very late. Rather then going all the way back to Elmyra's they decided to rent another room at the inn. This was decided mostly because Elmyra's house was a very long walk for them at this point in time.

As they went to the inn Tifa had her arm around his waist and his was around her shoulders. This was mainly due to the lacking of balance in both of them, but it made Tifa feel very safe and comfortable. When they got to the inn, the inn keeper looked annoyed because he slept there too and knew what to expect for a drunk couple renting a room.

They made their way to the room and both fell on the bed. He wrapped his arms around her and looked deeply into her eyes.

"You are the most beautiful women I have ever met. You can fight like a goddess, you're a wonderful person and you are very, very sexy." His words were very slurred and almost comical. He wasn't a very good drunk.

Tifa began to giggle. "You are drunk." She tried her best not to sound drunk herself but failed horribly.

"No, no, no. I mean it. I have never met another woman like you. You are my perfect woman! Where the hell have you been all my life?" this really made Tifa laugh but she was truly touched.

"I've been wasting my life chasing this pointy haired freak!" this was a revelation for Tifa. "He didn't love me!" she sat up. "I loved him! him! I've got you." She leaned over and kissed him.

With that they both passed out, in each others arms.
