Tifa's POV-------------
Zack was always busy nowadays, I could see the stress and exhaustion getting to him. So I agreed to go meet Aerith that day to go over things.
Aerith was waiting patiently for me at the gardens. She seemed to like meeting us there. As soon as she saw me, she got up from her seat on a bench and walked over. I pushed my hair back behind my shoulder. She smiled. " Hello Tifa. I was thinking today we would--" she broke off as her phone rang. " Hello? Oh, Cloud, what's wrong?" she began to walk away, back towards the gardens. I could hear her gasping, then chuckle slightly and said, " Yes, but you'll need to help Tifa."
Wait..help me? With what?
She came back over. " I'm afraid Skye is having a strong " I want mommy" attack and won't stay quiet for Cloud. The last time we ignored this she made herself sick. Cloud will come help you with selecting decorations." I inwardly groaned. " Okay then." I said in an offhand voice. Aerith went to her car and started it up.
Less than twenty minutes later Cloud came walking up. " So..decorations, right?" I nodded tensely. He looked so damn hot. " What type?" he asked. " I don't know. They were Zack's idea. Let's look at statues, I guess." I said.
We went walking through a large selection of statues. Cloud looked at each one with an odd expression, and he started laughing loudly when he saw one, and he stopped. I backtracked to look at it.
It was a man, maybe a Grecian God or something.
And it was naked, and perfectly carved.
" Hideous." I muttered. Cloud continued laughing. " What, it's not romantic enough for your wedding?" he teased,walking closer to it. He grabbed one of the statue's marble hands. " He looks awfully proud of his body, huh?" he joked. I shook my head. Cloud was being weird.
" Let's look at other ones." I said. Cloud looked at me and laughed. " You're hurting his feelings by not appreciating his body, Tifa. Why don't you want him at your wedding? He'd definitely be entertaining." Cloud leaned against the statue, and before I could say anything, had knocked it over.
" Cloud! You idiot!" I said angrily, picking it up. Cloud looked at me picking it up, and then as I set it straight, he laughed even harder. " What?!" I shouted. He couldn't talk, he just pointed at the statue's legs.
I looked and gasped. Let's just say we...um...neutered the statue.
" Shit!" I muttered, looking around the grassy area. I instantly located the small marble piece, and I picked it up. I looked around wildly. Cloud stopped laughing. " What are you gonna do with it?" he asked. I glared at him. " How the hell should I know? I don't have anything to do. You're an idiot." " Hey, anyone could knock over a statue." he retorted. "And I thought I was clumsy." I muttered.
Then I noticed the pond and began walking that way. Cloud followed me, and watched as I tossed the piece as hard as possible into said pond. " Wow..nice throw. So I'm guessing statues are out of the question?"
Cloud's POV--------------
Ok, that had been hilarious. Even though Tifa wouldn't admit it, I knew she'd thought it was funny too. We wandered over to balloons and streamers, which were near flowers.
" Why the hell would you want balloons at your wedding?" I asked her. She shrugged wearily. She looked tired. " Hey." I said. Tifa glanced up at me, and I gestured to a bench.
We went and sat down. " You look exhausted." I said. She nodded. " The bar is kind of hard to run sometimes. Plus, wedding prep isn't really me. If it as completely up to me, I'd have a very small wedding with no decorations except flowers and a long white carpet. The party would be small, and we'd dance, eat cake and drink the best champagne. But Zack is a little more into making it a big deal. And I go along with it to please him,and I can be okay with it...but I don't want to plan it. Just not my thing." I gave her a sympathetic look. I liked small weddings too. I got up and pulled her to her feet, and hugged her. She sighed against my chest, and wrapped her arms around my waist.
We let each other go within five minutes, and I suggested something other than preparation. " Like what?" Tifa asked. " Like..a movie." I said. She smiled slightly and nodded. " But not as a date." "Of course not." I replied.
We headed for Midgar Cinemas.
We paid to go see the latest romantic comedy. We got in and selected our seats, and the previews started up. " This is supposed to be great." I whispered to her. She grinned. " So I've heard." she whispered back.
Tifa's POV-----------------------
We left the movie theater laughing hysterically. The ovie had been hilarious, and every scene had some humor in it.
I stumbled and instantly a hand was in mine, lifting me up. " You okay, klutz?" Cloud teased. I smirked at him.
I noticed neither o us had pulled our hands away and quickly withdrew mine. " Well, this was oddly entertaining. I'll see you around I guess." " Tifa, wait!" I hadn't noticed the car I was stepping out in front of.
Cloud jumped at me and threw me out of the way, but I wasn't hurt. We hit the sidewalk on the other side of the street.
However, he was laying on top of me now.
We both blushed and he jumped up, extending a hand to me. I took it and let it go, waving and walking away. I'd had enough accidents for one day.
The statue entered my thoughts and I laughed out loud, startling a small girl and her mom.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I'm taking scenes from Wedding Planner now and editing them to my liking.
That's an awesome movie, btw.
And this story will probably feature a few more lines of it, maybe some scenes...I haven't decided yet. =)
Please review!
