Cloud looks down at Tifa and scratches the back of his head, "Yes?" says the host looking at Cloud confused. Tifa knows that Cloud didn't make reservations so she stepped up and said, "Today is my birthday and we would really like to hang out here is there anything you can do?" Tifa smiles. The host looks at both of them up and down thinking that they can go into the bar. "You may be in the bar." Cloud knows Tifa isn't a drinker and he isn't a fan of alcohol either. "We will take it sir thank you" Tifa says."Follow me then please" the host says walking towards the bar. Cloud and Tifa began to follow when Cloud looks back to Tifa and says, "Why you don't drink?"
Tifa looks at him smiling, "I run a bar I should atleast try the stiff and plus today is my birthday" she giggles pushing Cloud to go faster to catch up with the host. Moments later Aerith and Zach walk in and are seated just a few tables away from the bar. Tifa takes a dare and takes a shot of alcohol and licks the lemon her mouth begins to burn and she gasps, "Water, Cloud water" waving her hands up and down. Cloud looks around and sees that there is no water around them he runs into the main restaurant.
Aerith then calls the waiter, "Excuse me but may I please get a glass of water." Seconds later the waiter comes with her water. He is standing in front of their table when Cloud sees him. He walks over to him and grabs the water off the tray which was still hovering in the air. So he grabs it and spins out of view so neither Aerith nor Zach saw his face. She turns and faces Zach who is cracking up. After dinner Zach and Aerith leave the restaurant. Tifa is drunk and Cloud has to carry her home. As soon as Aerith and Zach reach home Zach knocks out on the couch and Aerith changes and walks out on her room balcony and looks out at Midgar which is beautifully lit by the moonlight.
Back at Tifa's house Cloud places Tifa on her bed and gently takes off her shoes not wanting to disturb her slumber. Cloud gets up to leave when Tifa grabs his shirt and begins to mumble, "No Cloud don't go don't leave me. Are you going to stay with me forever?" Cloud nods knowing Tifa probably cant see him, "Yes." "You promise?" Tifa asks half awake. "I promise" he says smiling. He gets up to leave when he hears Tifa mumble something he turns around to hear her better. "I love you Cloud I really love you" Cloud looks away and exits the room. He decides to take a walk around Midgar to clear his mind.
