Disclaimer: Square owns FFVII not me.

I've been so busy! I'm sorry this chapter's short, I'm suffering from a slight case of writersblock XD But I'm not going to stop this fic anytime soon (I hope). And thank you for all the reviews =] They make me so happy!


"Alright. Red's finished with whatever he had to do here so we're gonna head back to Nibelheim."

"Can we take the Highwind this time? I don't want to walk anymore."

Cloud sighed, "Yuffie, we already went though this... you get motion sickness anyways. I don't see why you'd even want to fly," he paused, "Oh. And the Highwind is back in Nibelheim"

A series of groans answered him, "Quit complaining and split up. Tifa, Vincent you're with me. Again."

Barret didn't move, " 'Ey, when are we gonna fight Sephiroth?"

Everyone turned to Cloud expectantly, mumbling their agreement. "We'll go later. I don't think we're ready yet."

"What?! We've defeated da WEAPONS an' we all got our limit breaks and shit. We look ready ta me."

Cloud knew they were probably as ready as they were going to get but Tifa had been acting strangely and he wanted to know what was going on. I have to make sure she not with Vincent... "Well let's mosey!"

He turned to Tifa and Vincent, both had suddenly appeared behind him, and studied them carefully. "Are you guys okay?" They nodded, "If you say so."

Vincent watched as Cloud turned to him. Cloud's eye twitched and he had a 'I-know-what-you're-up-to-and-I-want-you-to-stop' look on his face.

Vincent couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "What about you Cloud? Are you feeling okay?"

"Of course I am. Why do ask Tif?"

Vincent wasn't convinced, "Nothing."

Cloud's face now looked surprisingly friendly, "Okay. Make sure you have everything, I can wait."

Vincent nodded and walked over to the Candle, but not before glancing at Tifa. Tifa got the message and followed him, not noticing Cloud observing them quietly.

"What is it Vincent?"

"I was thinking about our limit breaks."

"Oh yeah... how do I transform?"

"The demons can handle it. Just let them take control."

"That doesn't sound to hard," Tifa looked relived, "What about you? Do you know all my limit breaks?"

"No."

"Okay. They're Beat Rush, Somersault, Waterkick, Meteodrive, Dolphin Blow, Meteor Strike, and Final Heaven, in that order."

Vincent was silent for a couple of seconds, "Care to repeat that? Slowly if you will."

"Sure, Beat Rush, Somersault, and Waterkick are the first three."

"Okay."

"Then Meteodrive, Dolphin Blow, Meteor Strike, and Final Heaven."

"....Alright. Let's hope I don't have to limit break anytime soon..."

----------------

Tifa followed Cloud and Vincent as they walked through the Canyon. She was, once again, trying to practice walking silently. Holding back a groan of frustration as her boots clicked on the ground, she decided to complain to the demons.

This is impossible! How does Vincent do it?! Does he like... float or something?

'He could float... fly, whatever... but that's not why he can walk silently.'

Then how? It's so obvious I'm not Vincent because I can't keep quiet.

'Then go ask Vincent about it.'

Tifa glanced at Vincent and Cloud again. They were steadily getting closer together and Vincent was trying to put some distance between them.

He looks kinda busy.

'Have you noticed how weird Cloud's been acting?'

Not really.

He thinks you and Vincent are together , Hellmasker sounded amused.

Well we don't really have a choice do we?

'He's jealous.'

Who? Vincent? Was it just her or did she sound a little to hopeful? The Planet's just messing with my head... that's all.

No, Cloud.

Why? He-he likes me?!

Chaos rolled his eyes, 'No. Really?'

Oh that's horrible! I have to love Vincent to switch back!

'Horrible? I wouldn't call it that. I think of it more as... entertaining rather than horrible.'

The Planet apparently doesn't know what it's doing. If I like Cloud and Cloud likes me then we're in love, right?

You want to know what I think? I think you love Cloud like a brother and you're only saying you LOVE him because it's like an obsession to you. Cloud saved you're life when you were in the Nibel reactor all those years ago and you feel the need to pay him back. Cloud likes you because he's also obsessing over you in a way.

'Wow Hellmasker, I never knew you were so insightful'

Well, I have to spend my free time doing something.

'Very true'

You think I'm obsessing over Cloud?! That's stupid! And Cloud definitely isn't obsessing over me.

Why did he try to join SOLDIER?

To get me to notice him.

When he went back to Nibelheim, why did he hide his face?

Because he was too ashamed to let me see that he didn't make it into SOLDIER

Why did he get into a dress back at Wall Market?

Aeris made him...

If Aeris told him to jump into the Lifestream, would he do it?

Probably not...

But maybe if you were trapped in the dark, toxic, mako-filled depths of the Lifestream he would. Do you agree?

Tifa didn't want to argue with Hellmasker. Especially when there was so much evidence against her. But she didn't like to second guess herself either, I love Cloud.

You're still denying it?

You're never gonna get your body back with an attitude like that.

'Hey, that almost rhymed.'

I know!

Galian Beast and Death Gigas started laughing.

Tifa sighed decided to go talk to Vincent, If we don't switch back fast who knows what will happen! She picked up her pace and caught up with him quickly.

"Tifa? Can I talk to you?"

Vincent turned around, "Sure."

They walked away from Cloud stopped. Cloud watched them suspiciously, waiting for anything that proved they were a couple. If only he could hear them.

"What did you want to talk about?"

"Vincent, I love you."

Vincent arched an eyebrow, something he seemed to be doing very often, "I love you too, Tifa."

They waited.

"Damn. Nothing happened."

"I guess the Planet knows if we mean it or not."

Tifa sighed, "Well it was worth a try..."


Short! I know! I'll try to update sooner... and I'll definitely try to make the next chapter longer! XD
