"Hello?"
"Uh, Cloud? I think we have a bit of a situation on our hands..."
"Tifa, what do you mean?"
"Meet me at my place. Hurry!"
Cloud shut his phone. He had been outside, thinking about Aeris. He knew she told him that her death wasn't his fault, but he just couldn't get her out of his mind. He had tried and tried, but trying not to think about her make him think about her of course. He just wished he could touch her face, one last time...but eventually he had to get on with his life, and forget about the past. Oh well...he thought. Giving a deep sigh, he hopped on his motorcycle, and drove off...
"So, what you're saying is that you're from another universe? Aeris, I never took you as the one to crack jokes, but this has got to be the lamest, most--"
"Aerith."
'Huh?"
"My name is Aerith, not Aeris."
"Ohhkaay, Aerith, you need to stop this, because, quite frankly, I'm sick of all this, this, this shit!!!" Tifa didn't like vulgar words, but sometimes, she couldn't help it.
"Tifa, please don't use that kind of language," Aerith said quietly.
"Why? Huh, why? I have been in a steady relationship with Cloud ever since you-you died! And then you show up in my damn bathtub, all of which I have no clue how you manage to do that, and then you expect me to let things go back to the way things were, with you flirting your ass off to Cloud, and he has no idea how I feel? I am not being selfish, because you had only met Cloud a few weeks before you died, and I knew him since we were in school!!! Not only that, but what about your language just then, huh? Huh?! HUH!!???"
"I was just surprised, that's all." Aerith felt like the ant under Tifa's microscope, sounding minute. "What are you talking abou-"
Tifa was steaming. "SURPRISED AT WHAT? THE PRANK IS OVER! WE ARE IN COSTA DEL SOL, DON'T YOU REMEMBER? YOU DIED, REMEMBER? SEPHIROTH STABBED YOU, YOU KNOW! AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I NEVER FORGOT TO REALLY THANK HIM! WELL, THANK YOU, SEPHIROTH, AT LEAST YOU DID ONE GOOD DEED IN YOUR LIFE!!!"
Cloud was standing in the doorway, absorbing who he had just seen, and what he had just heard.
Tifa turned around.
He ran out of the house.
