Healin Lodge and Rufus Shinra
A/N: Okay… the chapter title gives away EVERYTHING doesn't it? Lol, yes it does. Let's think where our four current adults (well, one is a teen) are going and who they are gonna meet… no clue, right?
I am gonna start making chapter dedications to the FIRST person to review the previous chapter, ok?
Dedication: saberchic
Let's congratulate her! She gets a big chocolate, or vanilla (her choice) cake, and the rest of my reviewers get cookies and strawberries!
I don't own anything, blah, except for my PLOT! MUAHAHAHAHA! Heehe I couldn't resist doing that…
Thanks to: saberchic and… no one… because no one else reviewed! I'm… sad. It went from three to one… :(

Tifa's POV (Another dream)
I looked around Nibelheim… this time I wasn't walking, like I was possessed. I was just watching… watching as Sephiroth burned down my hometown, and I was unable to move.
But then something happened.
If I could remember correctly, Sephiroth went straight to the reactor on Mt. Nibel… didn't he? And he DEFINITELY didn't split into two people… or talk to me since I wasn't even there, really…
"Why are you here?" Second Sephiroth, the one who came out of the OTHER Sephiroth said. By the way… said OTHER Sephiroth was off walking towards the reactor.
"I'm… h-huh? Wait a second this isn't real! I'm dreaming, yeah that's it! Dreaming…" I told myself, now not caring that Sephiroth was standing right in front of me.
"Oh Lockheart, trust me, you're not dreaming. You're in my mind."
I stared up at Sephiroth like he was insane.
"No Sephiroth, because you see, I fainted. Which means this is MY mind and YOU are a figment of my imagination… BOTH of your yous!" I exclaimed, poking Sephiroth in the chest.
"Lockheart, you don't understand do you? No matter what you say," Sephiroth grabbed my hand and flung my arm down beside me, "this IS MY mind. I didn't say it wasn't yours."
"What? How can it not… wait what?" I asked.
"Wake up Lockheart," Sephiroth said.
"Huh? But, no wait! I can't yet! I have to know what the hell you're talking about and-"
"C'mon Tifa, PLEASE wake up?" I heard Cloud's voice ask her.
Everything was slowly fading away, Sephiroth, the fire… and then I opened my eyes.
Normal POV"Thank god you're okay Tifa! I was soooooo worried about you!" Yuffie yelled. Tifa slowly sat up and looked around the room she was in… and realized she was at the Healin Lodge…
"Why… how did I get here?" Tifa asked. Reno walked over to her.
"Uh… we brought you here…" Reno said as if stating the obvious.
"Please tell me Sephiroth isn't here too…" Tifa muttered to herself.
Depends on your definition of "here".
"AH!" Tifa yelled after hearing a voice in her head.
"What's wrong Tifa?" Cloud asked, clearly concerned.
"I… voice… didn't you here it?" Tifa asked. The other four people in the room looked at her like she was crazy… wait FOUR? Tifa stood up and dragged Cloud and Yuffie out of the room.
"What the hell is HE doing here?" Tifa asked them.
"Uh… we don't really know… but Reno does," Yuffie told Tifa hesitantly.
Aww, prez prez is worried about Lockheart. How sweet… sweetly disgusting.
"Hmm…. What the… Did you two hear it that time?" Tifa asked, worried now for her sanity.
"Tifa… there's no voice ANYWHERE I'm telling you. Only the three of us," Cloud explained.
"I DO NOT!" The other person with Reno yelled.
"And them… them too," Cloud added. He walked back into the room with Reno.
"I really don't know WHY Rufus is here Teef…" Yuffie said with a sigh. "But about your voices you're hearing… I don't think you're insane, 'cause Vinnie says he hears voices sometimes too, like Chaos and the other… monster thingies."
Hmm, I bet he does.
"Oh my god, whoever the hell you are just SHUT UP!" Tifa yelled, earning the attention of the three boys fighting in the other room.
"Do you mean us?" Reno asked.
"No, dammit, I mean… oh, nevermind!" Tifa said, before running off to a different room.
It's so fun to make you mad Lockheart.
"SHUT UP!"Hmm, you still don't know who I am do you? Thought you would have figured it out by now.
(Tifa's thoughts are italicized)
Maybe if I don't say anything, it will just go away.
You forgot Lockheart. I can hear you thoughts, seeing as how I speak through your mind.
Shut up!
What if I don't?
I… I…
See? There is NOTHING you can do about it. But I'm tired, so I will… for now.
Tifa sighed and turned around, only to run right into Rufus.
"Watch it Lockheart," He said before walking right past her and into what she assumed was his room. Yes, he could walk again, but he had something on his arm, so she guessed that was why he was still in Healin.
Tifa turned around and went back down to where Yuffie, Cloud, and Reno were talking.
"Guys… I need to stop sleeping," Tifa said.
"Tifa, we can't let you do that. You need your sleep to stay healthy," Cloud told her.
"Cloud… no, I just… I can't," Tifa told them.
"Hey Teef… when did you get… A highlight?" Yuffie asked. "Or is this a gray hair I see on you? You worrying too much?"
"What?" Tifa asked. Yuffie walked over and showed Tifa a strand of her hair… which was, in fact, gray… or silver.
"H…huh?" Tifa muttered.
"You didn't know about it? Hmm… now that I think about it… it wasn't there this morning."
So terrible sorry to intrude, but did that ninja girl just say you have a gray hair?
Tifa glared at nothing in particular, and decided that instead of making people SURE she was insane, she would answer in thoughts.
Yes, Mr. Voice, she did, now go away.
Hmm… I don't think I want to. Maybe I will when you go to sleep.
I just had a very long time I was sleeping… and…
Mhmm, yes you did. As I recall, your dreams lately seem to be a bit odd, do they not?
How do you know about that?
You really ARE stupid. I live in your brain. That is how I talk to you through your brain. Meaning, I can hear all of your thoughts, and can view all of your dreams.
…
Fine. I'm leaving, but I'll be back, trust me on that.
