Chapter 6

Cid dropped all of them above 7th Heaven Bar's roof and went off to find a spot to land Shera. Tifa invited all of us to have a drink at the bar. Marlene and Denzel came running downstairs when they saw them coming inside the bar. Marlene went off and hugged her father. After several seconds, an old woman came downstairs and greets them and welcoming them home again.

That night, they were celebrating the welcome of Phoenix to Avalanche again. Marlene and Denzel were happy to get know another person and another animal friend that is friends with the others. Tifa was passing out beers to everyone when Cid came.

After for 4 hours of celebrating, they all went to the rooms that they choose to sleep for couple of days. Everyone went to bed already except for Tifa, Cloud and Phoenix.

"Hey guys, thanks for the party again. It was great. I appreciated it." said Phoenix after they finished cleaning the tables and glasses.

"You are most welcome. Maybe we all should go to bed now." said Tifa.

"Well, I'm going to get on the roof to take some fresh air. Good night, Tifa, Cloud." said Phoenix smiling then, went off to the attic. She climbed out of the window and saw a figure sitting on the roof. First, she didn't know who is it then, she recognizes the voice when he said:

"Why don't you sit down here next to me, Phoenix?" It was Sephiroth.

"Well, you still didn't go to bed early, huh?" said Phoenix while walking to him and sits next to him.

"Hmm, still the same me. But today's a bit different; it was a full moon night. I like to gaze on moons, they are so, peaceful. " he said, smiling. She blushed a bit since she adores his smile.

"So, you do like moons. I actually liked them too." she said smiling back at him.

"You're parents, your siblings; they loved you so much, don't they?" Sephiroth asked suddenly.

"Huh, yeah, I loved and missed them so much. They shouldn't sacrifice themselves just in order to save me." she said while putting her head on her knees.

FLASHBACK

"You know Jenova??" asks Sephiroth.

Phoenix nodded her head. "She was trying to kidnapped me and use me to destroy the world. In order to keep Jenova away from me, they both sealed Jenova with their soul which will make the seal strong and will hold Jenova for a quite long time." she said while a couple of tear drops down her cheeks.

"Then, soon, only my brother, sister and I left. My brother was 20. My sister was 18 while I was 16 when that happened. After 4 years, Jenova's mind – yes, her mind still survives while her body is sealed – found a way to break the seal and escaped. Then, she came and looked for me again. She found me; my brother and sister sacrificed themselves too. With the same tactic, but upgraded as in better than before." she said and crying more than before. Sephiroth looked at her and hugged her without realizing it. All of those stories somehow felt very familiar for him.

"I'm sorry about that, Phoenix." he said. Phoenix was startled but hugged him back.

"Thank you, Sephiroth." she said.

"How did you met with Onyx?" asked Sephiroth pulling her and made her sit next to him. He then shared his blanket with her, put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her to his shoulder. She blushed, as red as strawberry then said:

"2 years after my siblings sacrificed themselves to save me from Jenova, I was on my way home from the nearby village, and I saw her, lying there helpless and bleeding. I went to her and brought her home. I mended her, I fed her, and I even took care of her. Soon after that, we became best friends. She doesn't have a place to live so, I let her live with me." she said. Sephiroth looked at her. She felt him looking at her and looked up at him. He saw some tears are there.

He wipes the tears and put his hand on her cheeks. They then lay forward at the same time. When their lips were about to touch, they heard somebody walking down the hall. Then, they both pulled away and blushed.

"S…Sorry about that, that's all I could tell you about myself. Good night, Sephiroth." she said walking towards the door.

"G…Good night, Phoenix." he said.

END OF FLASHBACK

After Sephiroth remembered about the last part of the flashback, he started to blush.

"Hey, what's wrong?" she asks after she saw him covering his mouth with his hand.

"I….It's nothing." he said looking at her.

"Isn't it pretty? No, beautiful?" she asked.

"Yes, yes you are." he blurted out while looking at her.

Phoenix looked at him and blushed.

"Sorry, but you are very beautiful." he said again, without realizing it again.

"Tha….Thank you." she said while her face was pink.

He then snaps back and said:

"I…I'm going to bed now. Good night, Phoenix." said Sephiroth while standing up.

"G…Good night, Sephiroth." she said but he was already gone. "Nobody has ever said I'm beautiful that way. Well, except for my family, of course they said it. But….." she thought. "Wait, what am I talking about? I don't deserve his love. What the…. What makes me think he will love me? I should go to bed now." she thought while standing up and left the spot.

The next day, Sephiroth woke up. He just had a horrible nightmare. Jenova was free from a seal that was made a long time ago. She said she is on the way to get him, Zack and Cloud. She also said that she's going to get Phoenix first before them. While he was still on his thought about his dream, he went downstairs and saw Cloud, Zack, Phoenix, Aerith and Tifa. All of them were a bit gloomy.

"Morning, everyone." Sephiroth said, making them notice him.

"Morning, Sephiroth." they all said at the same time. He saw Tifa and Phoenix was helping each other with the breakfast while Aerith sets the table up.

"Sephiroth, Phoenix, can you guys come here for a second?" Zack said to both of them.

"I'll be right back Tifa, Aerith." Phoenix said to both Aerith and Tifa and went off to Zack, Cloud and Sephiroth. Tifa took a glance at Cloud and went continue what she was doing.

"What's wrong? You guys looked like you just had nightmare." she said to them.

"That is exactly what happened. Jenova came to our dreams, trying to get us to join her." Cloud said.

Sephiroth gasped. "Really? Because I… also had the same dreams as you guys." he said. Phoenix was silent.

"I…I also had that dream too. I tried to forget about it, but I can't." she said, putting down her head.

"But, what does Jenova want with you? I mean, how does she know about you?" Cloud asks her. Soon after that, they heard people walking down the steps.

"We will keep this as a secret, okay?" said Zack as he put his finger on his lips. The three of them nodded. They then took their breakfast and were talking to each other. Suddenly, Cid's cell phone was ringing.

"Hello." Cid answers his phone.

"Sir?! This is the commander! We have a problem!" said the commander.

"What's the problem?!" he said shooting up from his seat.

"There is an intru—AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!" Cid then suddenly heard a shooting.

"Commander??Commander??" Cid shouted.

"*Bang* *Bang* *Swish* *Whip* AARRRGHHHHH!!!!!" was all that Cid could hear.

"What wrong? Who is that?" asks Yuffie impatiently.

"It's the commander, that's guarding my ship. I think there is a battle going o—"suddenly Cid heard a woman on the line. The shooting was no longer can be heard.

"Greetings, Cid." that voice is somehow familiar.

"Who is this?? How dare you kill those soldiers!" he shouted on the phone.

"Oh, I will tell you who am I as long as you give this phone to, my dear Phoenix." that woman said again.

"Grr…." Cid replied and handed over his phone to Phoenix.

"Wh….What?" Phoenix said when he did so.

"This blasted woman wanted to talk to you." said Cid.

"H..Hello?" she started.

"Hello, Phoenix. Long time no hear your voice huh? It still sounded so sweet."

"Wha…What? It…It can…can't b..be…? Yo…You a…are—"Phoenix stammered.

"Yes, that's right Phoenix. I'm back." said the woman in an evil way. "I, Jenova has come back to make you and my sons join me to destroy the planet!" she said laughing.

The person in the line was none other than Jenova.
