I don't own FF-7 but I do own Sam, any other people in this story own themselves...

Chapter 2: The Girl He Left Behind

The group had landed in the Inn and started up the mountian and were soon to reach the house near the top.

Cloud: so Sam.. who's the girl that Jenova's got?

Sam: I do not wish to talk about it... just know... I.. will not be able to fight her.

Barret: why the hell not you're one of the strongest people around!

Sam: because... she's my future wife...

Emmy: she's you're what?

Sam: I left her on Earth... we are engaged...

Cloud: but aren't you like 15 on your world?

Sam: love transends age...

Aeris: so who old is the lucky girl?

Sam: thriteen...

Cloud: little young?

Sam: not for me... plus like'm young..heh.

They reached the house and went in and sat on the couch, as the owner came into the room.

Owner: ah you guys again this is what your third trip here?

Cloud: yeah.

Owner: as always you are welcome to spend the night...

Cloud: thanks.

The owner walked back to his room.

Sam pulled a photo out of his trench coat and looked at it. Cloud leaned over and looked at it.

Cloud: who's that... she's hot...

Tifa grunted.

Sam: she's the girl Jenova has...

Cloud: I see why you like her...

Sam: she's... like no other... but what sucks... is since I have started traveling from world to world... I have forgotten my past on Earth... the only reason I remember somethings about her is because of the photo.

Cloud: you'll remember it all when you see her... like when Yuffie mentioned that girl Lindsey, you remembered everything about her...

Sam: yeah... I don't even remember her name...

Cloud: it'll come to you.

Vincent: I suggest we rest...

Cloud: good idea.

After a few minutes everyone settled down and driffed off to sleep.

(Sam's Dream)

Sam opened his eyes to find he was standing in a grassy feild with rolling hill and large mountains surrounding the whole thing in the distance, and flowers of every color covered the feild.

: I see you finally came...

Sam turned to face the voice to find a girl. She had long dark brown hair, green eyes with yellow surrounding the pupil, she wore a black sleevless shirt with a red dragon on the front, long black pants, and had a sword about 6 feet long shaped like the buster sword but it was red with a black dragon twirling around the blade at her side.

Sam: long time no see...

: you left without a word...

Sam: I didn't have time to call you...

: you were choosen I know... my Prince Charming...

Sam's eye twitched a few times.

Sam: I am not...a Prince charming...

: you're mine...

Sam: I don't think this is a socail call... being that we're in a dream and all...

: you'd be right... as you know... Jenova has taken my body... I want you to kill me...

Sam: you cannot ask me to do that... I told you once before I would not hurt you even if it meant my death.

: Sam...

Sam: we're not gonna hurt you until we know there's no other way and I will not be a part of it, if it comes to killing you...

: it's time for you to get up.

Sam: wait...

: what is it my love?

Sam: I've forgotten everything about my Earth life... besides a few things... sadly one of those things I forgot was your name...

: it is Tarah... I will see you soon... I love you...

Sam: I love you too.

The feild they stood in caught fire and the flame surrounded Sam the he woke up in a cold sweat. Sam got up and went into the living room to find Vincent and Cid sitting at a table playing cards, he walked over and pulled up a chair and sat down.

Vincent: dream?

Sam: you read me like a book.

Cid: he reads everyone like that.

Cid: I'm going outside for a smoke and some air, care to join me?

Vincent: I will.

Sam: me too.

The three of them got up and walked outside and leaned against the house.

Sam: you can't see the stars this good anywhere else...

Cid took out a ciggartte and lit it.

Sam: can I have one?

Cid gave Sam one who put it in his mouth and Cid lit it.

Vincent: may I...try one?

Cid: I never thought you'd say that...

Cid handed him one and lit it also, and at the same time they all took a puff.

Sam: so... why do you like these?

Cid: hell if I know!

Vincent: it tastes like peperment.

Cid: CRAP you got the flavored one!

Sam: they have...

Vincnet: flavored ciggarttes?

Cid: yeah... and lucky Mr. Vampire got the one flavored one in the pack...

Sam: hahaha... is Little Cidy mad because he didn't get his peperment Ciggarttee?

All three of them laughed at that.

Sam: can I tell you two something?

Vincent: sure...

Cid: shoot kid.

Sam: you have to promise not to tell anyone...

Cid: my mouth's sealed.

Vincent: as is mine.

Sam: Tifa told you I stayed with her for about a year correct?

Vincnet: she did.

Sam reached in his pocket and pulled out a gold ring.

Cid: you...two were... married?

Sam: about four months after I started staying with her... really I've been here since about three days after I left her in the first place... time slows when you're in other worlds...

Cid: about... five years you've been here and didn't tell us?

Sam: yes... I went to see Tifa and she was so sad when she found that Cloud did not return with me... I stayed with her... for a while... we... got attacted then... well...

Vincent: Cal is yours not Cloud's isn't he?

Sam: he is... well I left before I knew she was pregant... when I came back she told me everything... then we got married four months later we didn't want you guys to know... not until a week from now... it would have been one year since we got married...

Vincent: what about the girl Jenova has? are you not engaged to her?

Sam: I am... but when I lost Whitney I lost the abillty to travel from world to world... I used the heartless one last time to go to another world... and I ended up here... I never thought they would come here again so I decided to settle down... what a foolish mistake that was...

Tifa: it wasn't foolish...

The three of them turned to see Tifa standing against the corner.

Sam: Tifa...

Tifa walked over to Sam and leaned back against him.

Tifa: you two better not tell Cloud... I will...when I think the time is right.

Cid: we won't say a word...

Vincent: he shall not hear it from me.

Sam: Tifa...

Tifa: ssshhh... I know... I knew this might happen... you warned me... but I'm not sad... I got to be with you... it's something...

Sam kissed the top of Tifa's head.

Cid: so... what will you do when you get the girl back?

Sam: I'm gonna try to send everyone from my world back... I've got so many... I'll send them back where I know they're safe.

Vincent: that would be the best thing to do...

Tifa: oh look!

The four of them looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star fly across the sky.

Vincent: a sign of good luck.

Sam: I hope you're right.

Sam threw down his ciggartte and stumped it out.

Sam: I remember her name...

Vincnet: what is it?

Sam: Tarah...

Cid: sure it ain't Terra?

Sam: I'm sure... just don't say that around her...

Cid: why?

Sam: good or evil she'll rip your head off for it...

Cid: you're joking right.

Sam: do I look like I'm joking...

Cid: just for calling her Terra?

Sam: yeah... she hates it.

Vincent: as much as I hate being called Vinny?

They all laughed at that.

Sam: we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow... I suggest we go to bed.

Cid and Vincent put out their ciggarttes and they all walked back inside and went to bed.

(A/N: I know not much action but a few surpises no? How will Cloud react to Tifa and Sam's relationship? Will Sam be able to send his freinds home once this is over? And will he even have to send them all home? those who don't get that last question... well... just think about it... (I love being cryptic)
