Chapter 5
They all were walking through the forest. Zack was talking with Vincent and Cloud while Genesis was talking to Angeal and Onyx. Phoenix walks next to Sephiroth but, barely even talks. They both felt a bit awkward because of the silent while at the back was a bit noisy. Then, Sephiroth decided to say something first.
"So, how did you know where to find the ship?"
"Huh? Didn't I told you last night?" said Phoenix teasingly.
"Oh yeah, right, you did." Sephiroth said after he remembered.
"Were you in Soldier of Shin-Ra once?" she asked suddenly.
"How did you know?" asked Sephiroth surprised.
"Well, from your coat and your belt. Doesn't does belong to the First Class Soldiers of Shin-Ra?" she said.
"You are very sharp, Phoenix." he said. "Yes, I was in Soldier 4 years ago."
"Oh, I see." she replied.
Soon after that, they saw a very big airship next to a big waterfall. It was Shera.
"The ship is here! We are here! We are safe!" shouted Zack happily.
Aerith who is finishing the final and last design near the glass on the bridge of Shera saw them outside and went running to meet them. She went directly to Zack and hugged him tightly. Zack hugged her back. Tifa went running to Cloud. Cloud was ready and caught her in a lovely embrace. Yuffie came and gave Vincent a hug which made Vincent blushed a little and hugged Yuffie back.
"Where is the new member?" Yuffie asked after releasing Vincent.
"Here she is." said Sephiroth putting his arm on Phoenix's shoulder. Yuffie went to her and introduce herself. Aerith releases Zack at the same time as Tifa releases Cloud. They both went to greet Phoenix and offered them to enter Shera. They saw Onyx who is sitting in the middle of Genesis and Angeal. Onyx introduced herself and was offered by Tifa to come with them.
"Welcome to Avalanche!" said Cid, Barret and Red when they saw Phoenix. They welcomed Zack, Cloud, Vincent, Genesis, Angeal and Sephiroth back to the ship.
"We made a welcoming and welcome back party for our new member and our old member friends. What are we waiting for? Let's enjoy ourselves today!" Yuffie said excitedly.
The party went off for 6 hours.
The others went off to bed after they helped the maid clean up the bridge of Shera. Everyone was already asleep except for Phoenix. She was on the bridge, gazing at the half moon.
"*sigh* so beautiful for a half moon." she said.
"I must say that I agree with you." somebody said from behind her. She was shocked and looked behind her. It was Sephiroth.
She smiled. "You didn't go to bed yet?" she asked as she was patting on the empty space next to her signing for him to sit down next to him. He went and sat like she asked him.
"No, I couldn't actually." he replied her question.
"Were you always like this? Not sleeping enough, I mean." she asked while tilting her head to look at him.
"Well, no. It was my habit for the past 3 years. I felt that part of my memory left me. I couldn't remember that clearly, there were 3 people that I knew for the past 3 years. One of them runs away from us while we were fighting against Jenova. The other 2 well, passed away just in order to kill Jenova. I never remembered who is the 2 person and the other who deceived us." he told her.
Phoenix's expression changed. She looked away from him and asks:
"Was this person, who deceived you, a boy or a girl?"
"It was a girl. I was trying as hard as I could to remember the 2 person and what really happened the past 3 years. I also want to remember the girl who deceived us, so, when I remember everything again, I will hunt her down and will give her a punishment or probably kill her." Sephiroth said again. Phoenix's face was paler, but, Sephiroth could not tell that because it was a bit dark.
"Oh, I….I see." she said looking down on her knees.
"Is everything okay?" he asked her while looking at her.
"It's just that I'm a bit tired. I think it's just because of the party. Maybe, I should go to bed. Good night, Sephiroth." she said while standing up and heading towards the door that leads to the hall in Shera.
"Good night." he replied to her.
"Why is she always like that when I talked to her about my past? Ah, none of that matters. I should also go to sleep." he thought while getting up and leaving the bridge.
That night, Sephiroth dreamed about the 3 person and this time, before they fought with Jenova. They were laughing and were having fun. They were at a place that is very beautiful. There was lake, cherry blossom trees were everywhere. It was a happy place. Everything was perfect. Then, he woke up from that beautiful dream. He was smiling.
He got up from the bed and went to the bridge. Everyone was there. He looked around the room and saw Phoenix. She was looking outside at the flock of birds flying in the air at the same height of Shera.
"Morning, Sephiroth!" Genesis said while looking at him.
"Morning, Genesis." Sephiroth replied.
"Breakfast is in the dining room. We all already ate, so don't worry about us." said Genesis again.
"Okay." Sephiroth said while walking out of the room. After several minutes, Sephiroth finished his breakfast. He sat there and was thinking about his dream that he just had. It was a happy dream. He then pushes his thought away and went to the bridge.
When he reached the room, he saw Midgar.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome home!" said Cid happily as he flies above Midgar.
