"Get out of my way!"

Everyone in the corridor hurriedly stepped to the side as Tifa shot through, Cloud jogging behind her. Aerith blinked as her best friend ran past and began following her to the medical ward.

"What's going on, Cloud?" she asked as Cloud passed her.

"Well she got a message before we could go out to do Cross Country," Cloud explained as Tifa burst into the medical ward "She didn't really tell me any details."

They entered the medical ward and Cloud immediately engaged Sephiroth in a glowering contest. Sephiroth broke away first to stare at the bed in front of him. Cloud blinked as he saw Tifa sitting down next to the bed and stepped to the side so he could see the occupant.

"Oh," he said as Aerith stepped to the side to see the occupant "That explains a few things."

Anne lay in the bed, unconscious and showing no signs of waking up soon. Cloud gave an accusing look to Sephiroth who held his hands up.

"I tried to stop her from falling down the stairs but I was too late," he said as Aerith gave him an accusing look too "Hey, the nurse said that she's going to be alright, but if she doesn't wake up by the end of the day they might need to transfer her to the hospital."

"Why were you near her when she clearly told you that she didn't want to be around you?" Tifa growled as she glared at him, clasping Anne's hand tightly in hers.

"I'm her boyfriend, I care for her health," Sephiroth raised an eyebrow and Cloud spluttered.

"That's crazy! She would never go out with someone like you!" he exclaimed and Sephiroth gave a proud smirk.

"Well she is now," he said smugly "Perhaps when she wakes up, she can tell you."

"Pah! She'll dump you when she regains her senses!" Tifa snarled at him.

"Really?" Sephiroth challenged "Or will you pressure her into it?"

"Tifa," Aerith cautioned as Tifa raised a fist to punch Sephiroth.

Tifa quivered and lowered her fist. She then pointed to the door.

"Get out, the last thing she needs when she wakes up is you," she growled.

"I was here first and I will remain here until she gets better," Sephiroth replied calmly much to Tifa's annoyance.

"Well I'm her sister so I have more priority than you!" Tifa declared as she sat down by Anne's bed, folding her arms stubbornly.

"Hey, I heard Anne's taken quite the nasty fall," Asa said as he poked his head into the medical wing.

He blinked when everyone, apart from Aerith, directed a glare to him and he shrugged.

"Hey, it's the latest gossip and I'm here to see if she's alright," he said.

"She's fine now leave," Sephiroth said with an intimidating glare "I know how you feel about her."

"You really do get jealous easily," Asa remarked, somehow unaffected by Sephiroth's negative energy "How I felt about her, Seph. Felt. It's the past now. To prove it, I can give you a picture of my girlfriend after our date tonight."

"Not interested," Sephiroth said as he waved Asa off.

Aerith frowned as Sephiroth sat opposite Tifa, placing Anne's tiny hand in his.

"Sephiroth, what exactly happened?" she asked.

"Anne just missed a step by the staircase and fell," Sephiroth replied "She's hit her head rather harshly but the nurse said it wasn't anything too serious."

"Hey, I heard Anne is here…" Benjamin poked his head into the medical wing and froze when everyone, apart from Aerith, glared at him.

"Not you too?" Cloud raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I just wanted to give these to her for when she wakes up," Benjamin held up a small bag.

Sephiroth strode over and snatched the bag to look in it. He raised an eyebrow.

"Since when could you bake muffins?" he asked.

"We just happened to be making baked goods in Cooking," Benjamin replied.

Sephiroth remained silent before placing the bag on the bedside table and waving Benjamin off.

"Really, Sephiroth, you don't have to be so rude to wave everyone away," Aerith said with her hands on her hips.

"Any more people around Anne and she may suffocate," Sephiroth replied simply.

"Hey, I heard…" Cecil froze when he saw Sephiroth's glare and swallowed "Is this a bad time?"

"What do you want?" Sephiroth asked warily.

Cecil held up a small painting of one of the kittens he had at home.

"From Megumi and I," he explained as Cloud took the painting and set it down next to the bag of muffins.

"Sorry but too many people around Anne may be a bit stressing for her if she wakes," Cloud explained calmly.

"Oh, I see," Cecil nodded as he left.

"See, why can't you be as polite as Cloud?" Aerith asked as she gestured to Cloud.

"Because I am myself and I cannot be like someone else," Sephiroth said in a mocking tone which made Aerith give him a glare.

"You…"

"I heard what…" Christopher blinked when Cloud raised an eyebrow as he stepped into the medical wing "Woah, no-one told me it would be that serious."

"What do you want, Chris?" Tifa asked.

"Oh, I was going to give Anne the notes from our Creative Writing class," Christopher said as he held up his notebook "Is she alright?"

"Just a bump on the head," Aerith replied while Sephiroth adjusted the bandages on Anne's head.

"Aw, does she need a kiss better?"

"No."

Sephiroth's answer was firm, Christopher's notebook was on the table with the muffins and painting and Christopher was gone.

"How did you get friends again?" Tifa asked with a raised eyebrow.

"The same way that you got them, spent some time with other people, got to know them and became friends," Sephiroth smirked at Tifa's glare.

"Excuse me…"

"What?!" Sephiroth snapped harshly at the newcomers.

Amber hid behind Zero once she saw the viciousness in Sephiroth's glare. Zero blinked as he held a bunch of flowers.

"We wanted to give these to Anne," he said and Amber held out a Get Well Soon card to Sephiroth.

Cloud took the flowers and card to place next to the other presents as the twins carefully backed out of the room.

"OK, that was just plain mean!" Aerith exclaimed "Amber and Zero are lovely friends of Anne's!"

"It was out of habit," Sephiroth muttered.

"And Zero isn't even attracted to Anne, he's got a slight incest crush on Amber," Asa whispered as he poked his head into the medical wing.

"OUT!"

Asa left and Cloud checked that he was in fact gone before raising an eyebrow.

"Seriously?" he commented.

"I hope that doesn't spread," Tifa grimaced.

"Or get found out by Amber," Aerith piped in.

"Nngh…"

All four of them perked up when Anne stirred and slowly opened her eyes.

"Anne, are you feeling any better?" Tifa asked as she leaned in.

Anne looked at Tifa, then at Aerith, then to Cloud and finally at Sephiroth. Sephiroth smiled warmly and stroked her hand softly.

"How's your head?" he asked.

Anne just stared at him questioningly.

"Who are you?"
