Chapter 3: Cosmos
_
Well this sure has been one hell of a day. Cloud thought to himself. First he was getting a lecture from Tifa because he still had to deliver a package to Reno. Like he really wanted to go to Reno, Anyway when she finally convinced him, he got attacked by a large hole! Then he found himself on top of a few people who didn't looked so pleased either. Two very loud blonds and one stoic brunette, though I got along with the brunette real quick. (Something that's very new for him) And now were waiting for dinner that a girl we just met is making us. So thank you very much Tifa, for making me deliver a package to Reno.
Hey Cloud, How old are you anyway? Cloud was brought out of his thoughts by Tidus.
I'm 23 years old. Cloud answered.
Your that ancient?! Tidus replied.
At least he's a little mature Squall said to Tidus. Tidus didn't say anything, So Cloud was very thankful towards his new stoic friend.
But just a little. Squall added. Cloud already took his gratitude back, while Tidus and Zidane were holding back their laughter
Haha, Squall I didn't know you had it in you. But how old are you? Zidane asked amused. I'm 18. Squall said . Alright, well my man Tidus just told me he was also 18 and I am 17 springs young! Zidane said. Cloud inspired by Zidane's creativity but just wanted to change the subject , before he felt even more like an old man.
"Dinner is served"
Looks like he was saved by the bell.
_
"Well I hope you enjoy your dinner."
The whole table was filled with delicious food, there was chicken, fries, chocolate cake, beef and many more of these tasty products.
Wow, did you made this all by yourself? Zidane asked
Actually yes I did. Evelyn answered shyly.
Now's your queue idiot! Zidane whispered to Tidus, while he poked his side.
Umm, Your really crazy for making so much delicious food, NO wait I mean, not that you're crazy. Tidus tried to compliment her, but failed miserably. Zidane smacked his forhead. What kind of student are you anyway? This is the basic of flirting! Said an irritated Zidane. Well sorry mister wise guy! I'm trying hard alright?! Tidus answered.
They're at it again .. Squall sighed. Are they always like this? Evelyn asked. Depends on their mood. He answered.
_
Well now dinners over, I have to tell you all something. Evelyn said to the four with a serious expression on her face that could not be missed easily.
Tell us something? Cloud thought to himself. Maybe Squall was right, it isn't common to have a cottage in the middle of the forest. Unless your snow white of course . But Cloud guessed that Evelyn , even if he really wanted to, wasn't snow white.
Or perhaps I'd better show you. She added.
Before Cloud could open his mouth to ask what the hell she was talking about, Evelyn started glowing. Her short hair was replaced with long white shiny hair and her messy clothes we're soon also replaced but with a long beautiful elegant dress. Cloud thought he was going crazy, maybe he hit his head to hard when he came to this world. But when he looked at his comrades he noticed that they seemed just as shocked as him. So they all had to go to a mad house or this was actually real.
Do not fear me, my name is not Evelyn. I'm Cosmos a god of light. And I have summoned you to this world for a greater good. She said while her eyes were lounged at the heroes.
A greater good? Tidus asked, but it looked more that he was asking himself than Cosmos.
Yes, my rival chaos summoned many dangerous fighters that must be stopped. So this is why I had to summon you here. To decide the faith of the worlds. She said.
So you caused all the black holes? And Tidus fading away? Zidane asked
Yes indeed I have been responsible. I needed the black holes to get the three of you, but Tidus on that moment was meant to fade away. But instead of sending him to the farplane, I brought him here. She said while she looked sorry for putting the four young man through this.
But what if we fail? And who are these dangerous fighters? Squall asked like the good serious guy that he was.
If you will fail this journey.. then I'm afraid this will be the end of all time. She said sadly. The fighters I told you about are the people who each of you had a strong connection with, wither you liked it or not. She continued.
But who are they? Any names? Tidus asked desperate.
I'm afraid you will have to find out for yourself. But I can tell you this. If you succeed this journey than you will be send back home. She said.
Cloud couldn't believe this, so he had to go on another journey! And while not only his world depended on them , no but every single world out there! And If we might succeed this mission then he'll get send back home? Wow that sure is a confident boost. Didn't he did enough for mankind already? Why him again?
I'm not going to do this. Cloud said to Cosmos with no lie in his eyes.
But Cloud why not? Zidane asked . Don't you wanna go home? To your friends and family?
I'll find some other way, I had enough of experience on my own. I don't want to do this all over again while there are other people who can help. Cloud said seriously.
What?! The whole freaking galaxy depends on us Cloud! Tidus said unbelieving what his comrade just said.
That's not my problem. He said as he walked through the front door to leave the house.
As Cloud walked away, all the respect that Squall ever had for Cloud, faded as fast away like the fast way he earned it.
_
When they cursed Cloud for a while the two blonds got to bed and were now asleep in their bed they had to share, while Squall was looking through the window mocking and looking for Cloud to come back to the cottage.
How could he do this? Doesn't he know how important this is?! Does he have any idea? Squall thought to himself. Why was he caring about this anyway, If the guy wants to quit them let him right? No, that just isn't right. Normally he wouldn't care if people acted this way, he'd seen it enough when he was still at balamb garden. But why is this time different? Because now the whole galaxy depended on us? And he's afraid that he couldn't face it on his own? What was it? He just couldn't get why he was caring so much. Cloud sure was a "special' person as he liked to put it.
He's been away for hours now. Squall said to himself.
Are you worried? He heard someone ask him, as he turned around he found out that Cosmos was the one who'd asked him.
I don't know, I'm just annoyed I guess. It seems that he doesn't care at all. Squall said while still looking through the window.
He does care, he's only a little bit surprised and he needs time to think. She said.
What's there to think about?! The worlds are in danger! Sure I'm not too happy about this either but I'm willing to fight. Squall said
You are so alike but also so different. Cosmos said. But if you want to know what's on his mind then go to him. She continued.
Squall just looked at her like she was crazy. How was he suppose to find the blond in the middle of the night! And if he did find him, what would he say? Hi asshole, thanks for leaving us out there but what's on your mind this lovely night?
You'll find him and know what to say when your with him. She said like she could read his mind.
Fine, I'll go look for him ,but no guarantee. Squall said.
Cosmos just looked at him like a mother that was proud at her son. Squall was about to say something but was interrupted by the cursing of Tidus, who just been kicked out of his bed by Zidane.
_
It been long since I left. Cloud thought to himself while he was sitting near a river. He had been thinking about what Cosmos had said. He was worrying that if he did accepted this journey and fail.. then what would happen to him? To everyone? Will he ever see Tifa, Marlene and Denzel again? And who are these fighters? It couldn't be? No, of course not! He thought about his three comrades. Tidus and Zidane who didn't understand and cursed him for his actions. Squall who just looked at him disappointed. He could feel that Squall lost his respect for him. And he didn´t know why but it hit him hard. He didn´t care when people lost respect for him right? So why did it matter now?
So there you are. He heard someone say, when he looked up he noticed it was Squall that was looking at him with an tired and not so happy face.
Yeah. He answered.
Yeah? Just Yeah? Don't you have anything more to say? Like why you're here sitting on a cold rock while you could sleep in a bed? Squall said irritated.
Then why are you standing here , why you could sleep in a bed? Cloud answered.
He could see that he caught Squall off guard, and saw him think about his question.
Honestly? I don't really know… maybe because I want to know what caused this situation and what you're thinking about . Squall said with insecurity in his eyes.
Cloud was surprised, he didn't expect this. He was prepared for a lecture or even a fight. But to talk about feelings? That sure was a hard one.
You wouldn't understand anyway. Cloud said so he didn't have to talk about it anyway. And he stood up to walk away again.
Then make me understand! Cloud heard and felt a hand on his arm to make him stop walking.
I know talking about your feelings is hard.. Believe me I'm not the best at it either. But it really helps, my friends back home learned me that. So I want to go home after all this and I think I need your help with that! Squall said while looking into Cloud's eyes.
Cloud didn't know what to say or do, he couldn't just walk away now, he couldn't do that. The brunette looks so serious about this.
Fine I'll tell you, but you'll have to let me go or else this won't be handy when I'm going to sit down. Cloud said to Squall.
It looked like Squall got the picture as he let Cloud go, keeping his eyes on him while they sat down.
Look, I've gotten through a lots of hardships in life. I lost friends, I feel guilt and regret. I've been experimented on and I had to save many lives more than ones. Through those journeys all that I've mentioned before happened to me. And I just don't want it to happen again. And that's what you'll get for now alright? Cloud looked Squall for his reaction.There we're only two words coming out of his mouth that surprised Cloud.
"I understand"
Squall was looking at him with eyes that looked like they had seen lots of hardships of their own.
You do? Cloud asked
Yes, I understand why you feel this way now. And it's your decision if you want this or not. If you change your mind then come back to the cottage. We will be waiting till 8 o'clock in the morning. Squall said and he put his hand on Clouds shoulder. I hope I'll see you again. And he walked away.
_
It was almost 8 o'clock but still no signal of Cloud. Tidus and Zidane were packing supplies that they got from Cosmos, Tidus was a little grumpy this morning because Zidane kicked him out of the bed many time but also because Zidane had mistaken Tidus for Garnet, Tidus wasn't to happy about that either. Squall was waiting for them to finish and hoped that it would take a while so Cloud still had time to come back.
Is he not coming? Or can't he find his way back? Squall thought to himself.
When it was 8 o'clock they decided it was time to leave.
This might be goodbye but I will watch over you and… Cosmos started but was interrupted by someone.
Wait up! Don't leave yet! They all turned and saw that Cloud was running towards them.
Cloud! You're here! Your coming too? Tidus and Zidane asked while they pulled Cloud into a bear hug.
Only if you guys let me go! Cloud said almost choking of the intense love he was reserving.
Why did you change your mind? Zidane asked.
Let's just say that I had some good advice of a friend. Cloud said while looking at Squall, Squall nodded his head and seemed glad that Cloud changed his mind.
Well then are you all ready for this journey to begin? Cosmos asked. They all nodded their head. Good, you will travel to Garnia there you will find a man named Firion, he is also one of the 10 people I have summoned here. He will lead you to the rest of the chosen ones. But don't forget the password. He will ask, "Some people will have to travel day by day" You will say "It's necessary for heroes to save the day" Not forget this.
Alright are we all set? Squall asked. Yes? Alright were are ready to leave.
Like I said before, this is goodbye but I will watch you from above. Cosmos said as she slowly faded away with a smile on her face.
The four started walking towards Garnia. Cloud looked at his new companions and…
He didn't have a single doubt on his mind.
_
So hope you enjoyed this chapter.. Cloud and Squall had a special moment yay!
