I've started a C2 community! It's called Black Roses and if your a Vincent fan you're more than welcome to join! Look at my profile to check it out! it's down there by the place where it says what stories I've written. If you want to join just tell me, email or otherwise, and I'll add you to the staff! Then you can add all the fics you've written or you like to the archive. As long as Vincent's in it, of course. I don't care what the pairings are, even if it's Vincent/aeris -shudders- I'm not exactly an aeris fan but it's a community so whatever you like!


Vincent and Tifa had made it out of the restaurant without any injuries and were trying to decide where they were going to go next when Vincent spotted someone suspicious run into an alley.

"Hold on Tifa. Let's walk over to the bench over there."

"Sure."

They got to he bench and Vincent glanced over his shoulder, "Pretend you're talking or something."

"Okay...," She started talking about random things, "Well, the sky is very blue today. Not a cloud in the sky. Cloud. I always thought Cloud was a very strange name. Have you ever thought Cloud was a strange name? Cloud Strife is even stranger. Clouds fighting? That doesn't even make sense..."

Vincent was watching the alley out of the corner of his eye, "Cloud is a strange name..."

"I know! I should ask him how he got it. I mean, he got it from his parents obviously, but maybe it has some hidden meaning?"

"There!"

Tifa jumped, "What? What's there?"

"It's her. I knew she'd follow us."

Tifa felt dread wash over her, "Don't tell me. That bitch Veronica?"

"Yeah."

"Oh gods..." Just then Nightmare nudged her leg.

"What is it? Is something wrong?" He motioned his head towards a bush and ran to it. She looked at Vincent but he was too busy watching Veronica to notice so she walked over to the bush Nightmare found so interesting.

"What's over here?"

Nightmare just looked at the bush.

"Alright...," She kneeled and looked at the bush with Nightmare. It was then she realized that Nightmare was looking AT the bush but THROUGH it. On the other side of the bush, down the street, looking at the displays of a hair salon was Cloud, of all people.

"Crap! Vincent come and look at this!"

"I'm kind of busy..."

"Cloud's over there," Tifa hissed.

"What?" He turned, "You've got to be kidding me..."

"Oh Vincent look over there! It's Yuffie!"

"No doubt Cid Barret are over at the bar..."

"We are so screwed..."

"Let's go to the candy store before anyone sees us."

"Okay"

They ran for their lives, trying not to make a sound of course, and got inside the candy store right before Cloud looked around and started walking.

Tifa panted, "That... was... too close..."

"Yeah..."

"Sweet Shiva! Cloud's coming this way!"

They hid behind the lollipop stand watched in fear as Cloud walked to the widow of the candy store.

"He's gonna see us he's gonna see us he's gonna see us-"

"Shh."

Cloud looked through the glass for a couple of minutes.

"Is he ever going to go away...?" Tifa was shaking.

"I don't know..."

Cloud stood there for a couple more moments.

Is he gonna get some damn candy or not?!

'You want him to come in here?'

No! But he's talking so long! Waiting sucks.

Finally Cloud decided he didn't want any candy and walked away. Tifa and Vincent both let out relieved sighs.

"I thought that would never end!"

"Mmhmm..."

"That's all you can say?!" Then she realized Vincent was too busy looking at the chocolate to pay attention to her. "More chocolate? But you already had ice cream!"

Vincent shrugged, "That was hours ago. You can never have too much chocolate."

Tifa shook her head, "Well I might as well get some candy too while we're here."

They left the store with a big bag of candy each. Tifa was staring at Vincent, who was already chowing down on his fourth Twix, in awe.

I never knew he could eat so much...

Galian Beast scoffed, Please, that's nothing. You should see him when he's hungry.

And he's not hungry now?!

Of course not. He just had dinner.

"Hey, looook it's Viiinnie."

Tifa, Vincent, and Nightmare turned to see Cid and Barret, both of them obviously drunk.

"You twoo chiiilin'? Finally got together an' goin' out onna date? Eh?"

Tifa shook her head, "It's not like that-"

"Riiiight. And mah name's Barret."

"It is dumbass."

"I know dat! Whadid I say?"

"I dunno."

"Well it sti' looks like they're together."

They started laughing and drunkenly walked away.

"This day just keeps getting stranger..."

Vincent nodded, "I have to agree..."

"I didn't know you guys were here!"

Tifa stiffened. Oh no. Nonononononononono-

"Er, yeah. We weren't expect you to be here either," Vincent managed to say.

Tifa got herself together, "So... how are you doing this fine evening, Cloud?"
