Aerith is still sitting on her balcony enjoying the warm breeze blowing on her face when she is startled by a harmonious whistling. She looks over her balcony as far as her eyes can see, she sees a figure of a man walking farther away but the whistle was enchanting her, she closes her eyes again taking in the sound. She looks for the sound or the man making the sound but he is gone just like the warm breeze on a winter day. She walks back into her room and listens to the sound of the whistling playing back in her head.
The next day Zach is on the phone with a cake company from the other side of town placing an order "Yes make it with lots of flowers on it and the writing of Happy Birthday Aerith yes A E R I T H thank you" he hangs up the phone pacing back and forth wondering to himself, "how am I going to go pick up the cake with Aerith with me?" He walks over to the couch dropping himself on it and scratching the bottom of his chin. He sees this flyer along with the newspaper he picks it up and reads it out loud STRIFE DELIVERY. A smile peers to his face he picks up his cell phone and calls.
Cloud looks down at his cell and answers, "Hello." "Hi is this Strife Delivery? I was wondering if you could deliver a cake from Cathy's bakery to my house it is for my girlfriend." Cloud shakes his head in disgust before answering, "Um sure by when and where." "Tonight at 6 thanks." Zach tells him the address and hangs up the phone. A knock comes to the door Cid, Yuffie, Denzel, and Marlene are at the door. They talk for a bit when Cloud says he has to go pick up the cake and deliver it/ Cid remembers he ordered a dozen sandwiches from the deli close the bakery so he decides to go with Cloud and pick his order and deliver it with him.
Cloud arrives at the bakery and receives the pink box containing the cake and waits for Cid to get his delivery. Cid walks into the deli and the man behind the counter hands him the box, "Ok Cid keep the box sealed until you are ready to eat them so you don't lose the freshness okay?" Cid grabs the pink box and yells, "Okay gotcha already sheez" and exits the deli. Cid hops on the bike and Cloud hands him the box with the cake and he hold on to it until they arrive to the house. Cloud gets off his bike and takes off his sunglasses asking Cid for the box. Cid is now confused on which box is his and which is the order so he gives one box a shake and hands him the lightest one. Cloud knocks on the door and Aerith's dad Professor Gast opens the door takes the package and hands Cloud the money. Before he closes the door you can hear him say, "Shh turn the lights off when you hear her and get those decorations ready."
Before Cloud turns to walk away he stops and sees this single yellow flower growing out of the crack on the floor something about that flower touched Cloud. Such a delicate kind growing out in a rough area. He gets on his bike and races home. "Aerith can you come down here?" Professor Gast yells. Aerith takes her nose out of the book and yells back, "Yes dad coming." She hops down the stairs to see the room dark and no one in sight, "Hello why is it so dark? Dad are you okay? Where are you?" she says while frantically searching for the light switch. She finds it and turns it on, "SUPRISE HAPPY BIRTHDAY AERITH!" they all scream.
Cloud and Cid enter the bar sighing in relief to be back home. Cid places the box on the counter and goes to sit down. Denzel grabs Tifa's arm and pulls it to the box. He opens it and giggles saying, "Yumm cool we are having cake." Tifa turns to him giggling, "Cake?" She opens the pink box and reads the cake, "Oh Happy Birthday Aerith. Aww I don't want to ruin her birthday. Cloud you have to go return it to her." Aerith looks at everyone in shock "Aww thanks everyone" Aerith claps her hands together and opens the pink "Sandwiches?" she laughs. "Thank you" she says cheerfully even though she didn't get a cake. "WHAT?" Zach yells.
