Aerith couldn't take it anymore,being without Cloud was no life at all. It has been two weeks since she has been "dreaming" about him. That night she goes to the locked chest in her closet she pushes aside pictures of her mother, father, baby pictures, pictures of the gang, and pictures of her and Cloud to find a few different colored liquids and a spell book. She sets everything back in the chest and grabs the liquids and book and places them on the floor next to her. She opens the book and read the instructions.
She pours the liquid into one small tube causing the color figuration to change and smoke she hold the tube out and recites the spell written in the spell book. The tube of liquid begins to bubble and smoke and puff it is done she has successfully created poison. Her intentions are to drink it and be with Cloud. She gets up off the floor and sits down at the foot of her bed afraid of opening the top of the tube. She thinks about her friends and how they have been trying to help her but she thinks to herself that no one can help her but herself.
She decides that her happiness died with Cloud and she wants to be with. She opens the tube and before she puts it to her mouth a dark aura spouts out of the tube. The room turns dark and the scene of the bee stinging her and Cloud is playing. She looks away to see Cloud holding out his hand for her, he is surrounded by light, the only light Aerith say in the dark world.
He begins to say, "Aerith wake up please wake up. You have to do this for me just wake up." Aerith runs to him holding out her hand wanting to grab his. He seems so close yet feels so far she runs with all her might reaching until finally she reaches his hand and grabs hold of it. A bright white light flashed and the darkness was engulfed by the light causing Aerith to close her to shield them from the brightness.
Aerith slowly opens her eyes to see the setting of a hospital. She is startled to feel a hand still in her hand. She turns to face the owner of the hand when she is startled to see Cloud. "Cloud" she whispers. He jumps up as if he has seen a ghost, "Aerith...you are awake I knew you would. Aerith I love you." Cloud bends down and hugs her. "Everyone come quick Aerith has awoken." Cloud yells opening the door. Everyone comes rushing in the door pushing each other to see her first, everyone gasps at the sight that Cloud was right.
They all rush over to her giving her a hug and talking to her about what has happened since her absent. Tifa was the last one to come over to her, "Did you know that Cloud has been by your side for the last two weeks he was positive that you would wake up." Aerith turns to face Cloud who was blushing because he thought he felt silly. Aerith smiled at him and motioned him to come over. He walks over to her and Aerith wraps her arms around him hugging him tight. "You never gave up on me when the whole world did you stood by my side. Thank you."
Cloud looks up at her, "How could I give up on you? I sat her talking to you everyday hoping that my voice could guide you. I would tell you to wake up. I just wanted you back. The doctor said that is very rare for patients to come out of the coma you were in." Aerith closed her eyes understand the dreams she was having, "You know Cloud when I was asleep her I dreamed that you were the one that died and I was dreaming about you and every night you would come to me and tell me to wake up and I would awake from my dream to see you gone.
I made poison and I was going to drink it when you reached out for me and saved me." Cloud smiles at the thought that he was her hero. "Tell me anyway Cloud how did you survive the sting?" Cloud says, "Well the stinger went through me and all the poison went to you" he bows his head in defeat "but I should have protected you better but look I let this happen to you I am sorry."
Aerith places her hand on his hand, "Love means never having to say your sorry and besides it wasn't your fault and you did protect me and you saved me you are my hero. And besides look I pulled through this all because of you." He hugs her again then in that moment when they had each other in their arms they kissed proving that love can overcome anything.
