"Police have proven at long slick object was the cause, his throat was spilt open when investigators found his body lying in his office….." The reporter continued. Tifa gasped. One name came to her mind and it was….

"Sephiroth…" Tifa muttered.

Tifa stood in utter silence for a few seconds, if it was truly Sephiroth who has committed these crimes then they were in big trouble, He would sure enough go after Cloud, but what was the purpose of him exciting Rufus? This she wanted to know, and know badly. She looked up at the upstairs door she figured cloud was asleep so she decided not to wake him. Instead she grabbed her gloves and headed out the door.

"Tifa! No! don't go after him!" Denzel cried. Tifa ignored it.

"Tifa PLEASE! Do it for Cloud's sake!" Tifa looked at Denzel and saw a hint of fear in his eyes. She let out a sigh and returned to the living room, she knew Denzel was right so she decided to wait for Cloud.

Cloud lied steadily in a peaceful slumber, not knowing the events of the outside world. He snored lightly and began to dream, I peaceful dream. A dream of serenity and harmony. In this dream Cloud is standing in the middle of the vigorous plain. The azure blue sea roared at the edge of the cliff. The beautiful sky glistened in the faint rays of the sun light. He looked around himself to find he wasn't alone. In the distance he could see a figure heading towards him. At first he thought it was Aeris, but it soon turned out to be Tifa. Tifa smiled silently at him.

"Hi Tifa" he called to her. Tifa waved still silent. Cloud slowly walked over to her. But as he got closer it soon turned darker, and darker, soon a storm merged and he found himself fighting the winds to get to tifa. He called Tifa's name many times. He saw another figure form. IT was tall dark and lean. He gasped when he recognized it. It was indeed Sephiroth, he was holding his long honorable Masamune. Cloud couldn't move his legs anymore he seem to be frozen in time as he watched with horror as Tifa was being hacked away in the most horrendous ways he has ever seen. He felt his breath stop as he watched powerless to do anything. He saw her fragile form hit the ground covered in blood. Cloud let out a scream of anguish.

Cloud opened his mako eyes sharply. He was panting heavily as he looked around the room. It was dim in color and it seem the sun had been slowly setting as he slept. He regained his composure and looked around. The Twilight gave off the essence of tranquil and calm. He soon forgot his night terror and headed downstairs slowly. He longed for Tifa and wanted her. He wanted to see if she was alright. Even though it was a mere dream, it felt like reality to him, and he never wanted to experience it again. When he reached the living room he took in a sigh of relief. Tifa was sitting boredly watching the television while little Denzel was asleep in her lap. She just happened to look over to find Cloud staring at her. Tifa blushed and slowly got up so not to wake Denzel. She swiftly wandered across the room and over to him.

"How was your sleep?" She asked. Cloud smiled.

"It was fine." He didn't want to bother Tifa of his nightmare so he decided to keep it to himself.

"How long was I a sleep?" He asked softly. Tifa smiled.

" For the whole afternoon, I was beginning to think you would never have woken up again." She smiled. Cloud blushed slightly. He wasn't sure if Tifa had all her memories back yet but he knew now she was the old tifa. Tifa's eyes slowly began serious.

"Cloud." She began.

"What is it?"

She didn't know what to say about it, she didn't want him to worry so she just smiled and looked at him.

"nothing, what do you want for dinner?" She asked softly. Cloud smiled softly.

"How about we go out to eat?" He asked.

"Oh? Like on a date?" She giggled. Cloud began to stammer in his talking.

"Er..Uhh…umm… well…if you want to call it that…yes, it's a date.." He began to blush. He never been on a date before. So he didn't know what to do. Tifa smiled.

"Alright I'll go get ready." She raced up stairs and got ready for the big date. Cloud walked into the bathroom and stripped himself of his clothing, he turned on the shower and walked in. He washed his hair softly his mind deep in thought.

"Hmm. Is Cloud using the downstairs shower? Then I'll go use the upstairs one!" She smiled and began to head to the bathroom. Cloud finished his shower and slowly stepped out of the shower. He sighed happily as he reached for his towel. Tifa who wasn't thinking at the time turned the door knob and walked in. She didn't realize cloud had used her shower instead of his. (A/N: Tifa and Cloud has two private bathrooms to themselves, but cloud got lazy and went to use hers.) Tifa and Cloud both had the same reaction time. Cloud barely had his towel around his waist when Tifa froze staring at him. She turned beat read as she ran out of the bathroom screaming. " Sorry! I didn't mean to walk in!" She ran to her room. Cloud was like a statue, he couldn't move at all. His whole body was glowing with embarrassment. He quickly got dressed in his finest clothes he own which was a red top and blue jeans. He slapped on some cologne and made his hair looked decent. He waited outside's Tifa's door. He waited there for about a half hour before it opened.

"Hi Tifa finally your.." He stopped and began to gawk and the most beautiful creature which stepped out of the room. She wore a white blouse and a short lacy skirt. She wore flat black shoes and her hair was up in a clip. She smelt of roses and vanilla mixed together Cloud almost mistaken her as an angel from above.

"Wow…" He managed to say, He stood in complete awe. Tifa blushed.

"Are we ready?" she asked softly. Cloud nodded and grinned. He bowed and kissed her hand acting gentlemen like.

"This Senorita" He grinned once more. Tifa smiled and took his hand.

"Thank you." Before they left they called Uncle cid to baby-sit Marlene and Denzel. He arrive minutes later and grinned.

"Wow aren't you two a cute couple go out have fun! Be kids!" He encouraged them. Tifa and cloud nodded and walked out. Cloud pulled out his motorcycle and helped Tifa onto it. He sat down and drove off into town.

They parked and dismounted at a restaurant called. "Lexitiya" a very romantic and fancy place. Cloud helped Tifa down and escorted her inside.

They waited until they were shown a table. Once they did they were handed typos and began to think what to have.

"Umm…Tifa half of these names I can't pronounce.." Tifa chuckled and looked through the menu.

" I think you should stick with the pasta." she suggested.

" Yeah your right." Cloud grinned at her.

Tifa overlooked it one last time and waited for the waiter. Once the waiter had appeared Tifa and Cloud ordered their food.

"So now we wait." Cloud's stomach growled, he looked away embarrassed. Tifa chuckled. She notice there was many couples dancing. So she stood up and gestured Cloud to follow. Cloud got up and looked at her. He felt stupid because he was never taught how to dance.

"Umm..Tifa.."

"Yes?"

"I dunno how to dance.." He lowered his head in shame.

"Come then, its easy." She took his hand and lead him out to the dance floor.

Cloud knew he was in for it when Tifa attempted to teach him how to dance.
