Tifa sighed, and stretched as she set the last chair on top of the table. She had just closed for the night, and was ready to just lie down or sit in a chair. She yawns, and turns off the lights before going up the stairs. Marlene and Denzel were already asleep in their beds, and she felt rather tired too. As she passed by the guest room, where Cloud usually slept whenever Denzel and Marlene made him stay, she noticed his computer was up and running. She cocks her head, and pauses in the doorway.
"I wonder if anyone's on." She mutters, logging onto his computer.
She types in Cloud's username SwrdBoy256 (Denzel had made it for him), and then his password (Ars768). Often, Tifa had gone onto his computer account and played an online game that she had become attached to. Yuffie had signed her up on it, and now they both played on it. It was a battle game really. You made your character and went around kicking other people's and creatures butts. Nothing she hadn't done in real life, actually, but it was still fun to go head to head with Yuffie without the danger of one of them dying.
The game allowed her access, and she types in her username for the game: Trix02. She scanned her friends list, and smiled as she saw that Ninjaness76 was on. She had enough time to send Yuffie a message of greeting before she was kicked off of her game.
"Ugh!" she cries in disgust, trying to get back on, but it refused to let her back on. "No!" She says, smacking Cloud's computer monitor. It whirs for a second before a little message pops up:
System Error:
For the safety of the user please reboot the computer immediately.
Tifa sighs, and did as the computer said. It was a pain to have to log in again, but Tifa was feeling bad about leaving Yuffie on the game without a word of good bye. As the computer whirred to life she glanced over at the clock to see 11:00 pm flash in bright green letters. Again she sighs and turns her head to look back at the computer. As she does so she notices something odd scribbled on a piece of paper next to his monitor. She cocks her head, and picks it up. It had a website on it, in Cloud's handwriting: That was an odd website. Below it was what seemed like a username: Cloud6. Tifa shrugs, that made sense to her. Cloud had six swords and his name was, well, Cloud. Below the username was another word that looked like it could be his password: 86775940.
"I wanna know what this is." Tifa mutters to herself, as the monitor blips on. She grasps the mouse and double clicks an icon on the desktop that opened her to the web. She typed in the website and came up to a black screen with a tiny box in the center asking for username and password.
"Odd…" Tifa says softly as she types in the nescessary information.
She was taken to another screen, but this one was different. It looked like Cloud had decorated it or something. Around the edges was a border of swords that were moving back and forth in a jerky motion. In a little box on the top left corner was a picture of Denzel and Marlene, and below that were a couple other usernames that she assumed must be his friends. She saw one that was familure: Ninjaness76.
Tifa rolled her eyes, "Of course. Yuffie." She mutters. On the right side there were some links that looked like dates. Above them was the title "Journal Entries".
Tifa cocks her head, "Cloud keeps an online journal?" Her eyes widen. "Everybody can read it!" she thinks to herself in fascination, unable to believe that he would be so open to everybody else on the wide web, and not her. "What does he write about me?"
She suddenly grasped her mouse tightly and clicked on the bottom link which would take her to the first entry. A new box appears and she sees that the entry is about half of a page long.
Hey,
Yuffie signed me up on this thing. I don't like it very much. It's not very private. She'd better not sign Tifa up. I don't want her to know that I write things on the internet instead of talking to her. She'd get mad.
I'm trying to figure out something though. Denzel was helping me make deliveries in town today and he asked me if I could teach him how to fight. I'm not sure about that though. For some reason, I don't want him to know how to kill things. Not sure why. I told him we'd see, and he seemed fine with that, but I could tell that he was kind of depressed that I hadn't said 'yes'. Tifa would probably kill me if she knew that I was even thinking about teaching him how to fight with swords. I feel bad about all of it though. I want Denzel to be happy, but I'm not sure I want him to be like me, like he said he wanted.
People get mad at me easily, especially Tifa. I think it's because I don't talk so much, and I run away pretty easy. I think that last battle with Sepheroth jerked me around a lot. I kinda just had to figure it out, even if Tifa was trying to tell me the same thing all along. She yelled at me, and told me how mad she was, and that's when I kind of started listening to her. Usually I'd just kind of tune her out. Besides, no one wants an angry Tifa after them.
Cloud6
Tifa sat there with her mouth hanging open. "I do NOT yell all the time!!" she yells, standing up and clenching her fists. In realization her eyes widen, and she quickly sits back down. "Okay, so I do a little bit…" she mutters.
Letting out a sigh all she could think to do was sit there miserably. So did this mean Cloud was scared of her? Was he always quiet so that he would never offend her? She was pretty sure that he felt that no matter what he did he would probably get yelled at. She grunted angrily; she didn't want Cloud to be afraid of making her mad, and it made her sad that he felt that way.
"He won't have to feel that way anymore." Tifa mutters under her breath, "I'll not yell so much. Piece of cake." She says, standing up. She reaches down for the mouse, grasps it, and clicks on the 'X' button to exit out of the box so she could read another entry.
Unfortunately, she was suddenly interrupted as a new box popped up unexpectedly, startling her.
The message went like this:
"Ninjaness76: Hey Cloud! What's up? Can you believe this?! Tifa got on our game, sent me a message then suddenly signed off! How rude is that?!"
Tifa panicked. What was she supposed to say? She couldn't let Yuffie know, or anybody else for that matter, that she was looking at Cloud's personal journals.
"What would Cloud say, what would Cloud say?!" She says frantically. "Uh…oh! I know!" she says and begins to tap the keys.
"Cloud6: Hey. She does that to me sometimes.
Ninjaness76: Really? You guys talk on the computer?
Cloud6: No, she hangs up on me whenever she gets mad on the phone.
Ninjaness76: Oh. That makes more sense. So she still has no idea you have anything to do with electronics, computer wise?
Cloud6: No.
Ninjaness76: She's gonna be ticked if she finds out.
Cloud6: Yeah.
Ninjaness76: Let's hope you don't die.
Cloud6: You and me both. Listen, I'm tired, I just got back from making a delivery. I'm going to bed.
Ninjaness76: Okay. Good night, Cloud!
Cloud6: Good night."
Tifa had no choice but to sign off of the website now, or else Yuffie would suspect something. So, with a great sigh, she clicks the 'Exit' button on the top right of the screen, and clicked out of the web box. She signs off of his computer, and presses the button to turn off the monitor.
So Yuffie thought that she got mad easily too. Well, she was mad. She was mad Cloud hadn't told her, and she was mad that he and Yuffie had gone behind her back. She wondered who else knew about this. Probably Cid. He was a real geek with computers.
Clenching her fists she quietly marches to her bedroom, and pulls out her diary from underneath her pillow. Opening to the cover, she looked and saw that someone had bent the first page. She smoothes it out, and flattens the crease, before setting it under a dictionary and an encyclopedia so that it would flatten it out.
"I'll write in it tomorrow night." She mutters, kicking her shoes off. She didn't even bother to get under her covers, but merely turns off the lamp and rests her head on the pillow. She didn't sleep well that night, and she was still awake at two in the morning when she heard Cloud come back in with his delivery.
Puff: Please Review :D
