It was nearly nightfall before Cloud and company reached the forgotten capital. Cloud seem to be lost in thought. Tifa on the other hand was talking to Fayt and Cliff, Albel of course was silent, but continued to listen.

" The Forgotten Capital..." Tifa began but broke off looking to Cloud. A look of worry came over her face. Albel blinked once at the name, it strangely familar and yet unknown to him, a shiver twirled up his spine. He looked around and everything became dark. He was losing focus, but he didn't know what was going on. He continued to trail behind them. But as he came closer to the forest the more focus he lost. He continued walking attempting to shake the feeling away.

"Tifa, What is this place.." Fayt asked in a stern tone. Tifa turned and stared at Fayt.

" The forgotten Capital..this where my journey and Cloud's began to settle a score over five years old..And this is where we lost someone dear to us..." Tifa began. Cloud perked his head up and listened to her words intently, he didn't want to hear them, but he couldn't speak up to Tifa if he tried. Tifa this woman, his woman. They went through so much together, he always loved her, she was a sister to him. He never wanted to think of a life without her, he didn't want to lose her like he did with Aeris, he stood there helpless to the cause. He never even moved he was frozen with fear until it was too late. He lost his dear friend, he couldn't say he was in love with Aeris, when Tifa was on his mind. He needed to protect her, and yet he felt helpless to her, to get her to notice that he had feelings for her. He could never tell, it was his secret and it shall remain one. Cloud turned and looked around at the lake to find in empty.

" Tifa, no one is here." Cloud spoke up. Tifa walked over to him and looked around, her ruby eyes scanning the current area.

" Perphs they are out?" Tifa spoke up. Cliff and Fayt sat down to take a rest Albel remain standing he brought his good hand to his face and shielded his eyes as he feel more dizzier and lightheaded. He manged to keep his balance, but something was there with him, something he could see with his eyes. It was something he could only see thus he slowly lowered his head and sat down. His eyes were shut tight.

"Hmm, I remeber you now...Divinuu" Albel looked up quickly and looked around to find everyhing was white, he looked around then suddenly felt someone press against his back. He look to speak but no words came from his mouth.

" I see..you don't remeber yourself...thats fine...it will begin soon, are you ready?"

"Who..are you?" Albel thought in his mind, there fore he can't speak.

"The question is..who are you?"

"What mockery is this? I know who I am, I'm Albel the Wicked one!" He shouted in his mind.

"heheheh..Are you now? I don't beileve you..You will soon remeber who you are, then you will become one with the planet once more..."

Suddenly a bright and blinding light engulf the Captain. He struggled against it but it was too much like a bindment. He couldn't breathe or move. He continued to struggle only to find the more he struggled the more it grew tighter on his form. He gasp for air. Finally it grew too much and the Wery Captain opened his eyes. His optics came into focus as he looked where he was. He attempted to sit up but found that diffcult. He manged to sit, his back flesh against the wall.

" A dream..." He muttered and looked around. The laughter of children rang outside his door. He stared at the dorr tensely, the door knob began to turn the the wooden door opened slowly to find the Brunette woman walking in.

" Hey, your awake." Tifa said walking over to him. Albel's heart skipped a beat. He nodded slightly.

"Where am I?" He asked slightly confused.

" Back at the Seventh heaven, you collasped." Tifa informed him. a look of digust for himself danced acrossed his face. Albel was silent and Tifa stood up and headed for the door.

" What about Kadaj?" Albel suddenly spoke up. Tifa turned and smiled.

" They ambushed us but we amnged to kick there tails." Tifa repiled before walking out of the room. Albel watched her silently before getting up and following her. Tifa was behind the counter of the bar by the time he came down. Cloud looked up at Albel.

" Your awake." Cloud spoke softly his mind more into his work on the table. "Tifa I have to deliver a package today." Tifa gave a nod to Cloud and Cloud took off to do his new job.

Albel sat down where Cloud sat moments ago. He looked at Everyone who wa busy ethier taking care of the orphans or they were talking to eachother. Albel couldn't help but stare at Tifa. He never saw such a beautiful creature. Long darkish hair with ruby gewm eyes that seem to glisten with hope. He body seem to be angelic, each curve seem to be perfect. Her smile lights up to everyone. Yet to him it was annoying. How couls a woman like her give mercy to her enemies smile to the wicked. Laugh with the hatrd. He couldn't understand her at all. He never really found women a dire need in life, infact he had never been kissed or touched by a girl. Back on his planet they knew better than to touch Albel the wicked. But this girl seem to do everything that no other woman dared. His heart skipped a beat again as she drew near to him.

" How are you feeling?" She asked with a smile. Albel's eyes widen a bit as he flushed. Noticing this Tifa blinked.

" Your not getting a fever are you?" She asked ina worried tone. Before Albel could respond the palm of her hand was against the flesh of his forehead. Albel's eyes widen with fear or rage he wasn't too sure.

" Hmm your a little warm, perphs you need to lie down.." She suggested. Albel swatted her hand away from his head and turned slightly. Tifa blinked a bit.

" Hmph don't touch me Woma-...Tifa." Albel corrected himself. Tifa smiled happily.

" You called me by my name!" She cheered.

" Albel must be running a fever." Nel spoke sarcasticly. Albel narrowed his eyes at the Red haired woman who walked past them. Tifa blinked and smiled softly.

" You know, its not everyday I meet a guy who likes to dress in drag.." Tifa began. Albel shot a glare at her.

" What do you mean?" Albel raged. Tifa laughed.

" Nothing I like it, I mean not alot of guys can pull off that look." Tifa continued. Albel's cheks flushed again before he got up and walked outside. He knew now that woman is not a regular one...or at least not to him. Soon night fell on the tavern and Cloud returned. Everyone has gone to bed all execpt for Nel. Cloud walked in to find her sitting alone at the bar. Cloud joined her.

" Hey Nel something wrong?" Cloud asked looking to her. Nel looked up and gave him a soft smile.

" No, I never usually go to bed this early, you must have tired out my boys." Nel said with a chukle. Cloud smiled.

" They are good fighters..Although you guys have a strange aura about you." Nel looked over to Cloud nervously.

"But everyone does I guess." Cloud sighed. Nel noticed a hint of saddness.

"Whats wrong Cloud?" Nel asked. Cloud's eyes widened.

"Nothing!" He instantly said. Nel cocked a brow.

"Uh-huh? Why then do you give Albel such disgusting looks?" Nel repiled hitting a sore spot.

"I do not!" Cloud fumed.

" Lemme guess, You love Tifa, but she doesn't notice, now that Albel hangs out with her, you feel like she was stolen from you." Nel explained. hitting the nail on the head. Cloud raised an eyebrow at her.

"H-How did you know?" Cloud spoke up in a small rage of embrrassment. Nel smirked slightly.

" I been around a while besides, Its a girl thing." Nel repiled. She got up and headed upstairs leaving Cloud alone. Cloud blinked a few timed before sighing.

" She's right..." Cloud muttered before closing his eyes.
