She adjusted the strap of her dress, looking at her reflection in the mirror, and placed a hand to her hip, taking a deep breath and then brushed a hand through her hair. The full moon shone through the window, gleaming as brightly as the stars as a warm breeze swept through the bar.

Tifa Lockhart smiled, she looked perfect for tonight, her face smooth and gleaming with beauty. She sat down on a stool, slipping on her high-heels. Then, she headed out the door, ready for her night out.

A couple streets away, Cloud Strife exited the flower shop, dressed in a fancy black suit complete with a tie, holding a purple-colored rose in one hand while carrying a red-colored rose in his pocket. All of his flowery gifts lacked thorns, which was just fine, not every flower needed a thorn and love had no thorns.

He gazed up at the stars, seeing a shooting star streak by, making his wish for a gorgeous future with the woman he cherished; The glamorous Tifa Lockhart, his sweet companion.

The swordsman had left his sword at home, there was no need to wield it tonight, there were no enemies afoot and the one-winged angel known as Sephiroth was far away, but not as far away as she was.

Cloud saw her as he turned a street corner, walking so gracefully, her hair rippling in the breeze of the night. A smile left his face and a smile left hers, they approached one another, the two intertwining into one. Tifa regarded Cloud's hair swaying in the night breeze and he regarded her hair flowing in the warm wind.

"This flower compliments your beauty on this night..." Cloud said breathlessly as he offered his girlfriend the purple rose.

Tifa smiled. "Cloud, words cannot describe how gorgeous it is, and I can't begin to speak of how I can see the moon in your eyes." She said, accepting the flower, "How nice of you to think of Seventh Heaven's bartender and special woman, especially on such a night like this."

The meteor-showering beauty plucked the flower off its stem and placed it on the side of her head over her ear. Cloud then offered her the red rose and Tifa accepted it, two flowers for the price of one heart.

Tifa walked closer towards Cloud, looping her arms around his neck and raising her leg near his waist. Cloud cupped his woman's smooth cheeks and embraced her in a kiss, holding her closer as their lips connected. The kiss gleamed bright and then the two parted, breathing steadily as their hearts pumped gently in their ribcages.

"Shall we, Ms. Lockhart?" Cloud asked, holding her hand.

"Lead the way, Mr. Strife." Tifa replied, "The night is still young."

Feeling warmth in one another's company, Cloud and Tifa walked through the moonlit town, taking in the sights and the gleam of the starry night sky. They dropped by an outdoor diner and ordered some wine, the waiter came back with their drinks and the two sat down at a fine table, enjoying their drinks and savoring the taste.

Once they'd finished dining, Cloud paid the waiter and left with Tifa, carrying her in his arms, they walked through town and listened to the sound of music coming from a jukebox in a nearby bar. Midgar looked so peaceful at this time of the night, surely, there was nothing that could ruin this at any given time.

Cloud and Tifa made their way to the Astronomical Observatory that awaited on the eastern avenue, desiring for a gorgeous view. The place was open, allowing them to make their way in and climb the stairs to the tower overlooking the town.

Tifa folded her arms around Cloud's arm, leaning against his shoulder, while he led her upstairs. They stepped onto the balcony and Tifa held Cloud's hand, all staring up at the moon gleaming in the sky, watching the stars twinkled, keeping an eye out for signs of a meteor shower that was said to happen tonight.

A light streaked across the sky, akin to a shooting star, it shot past the moon and vanished behind the hills outside the town. Tifa pecked her boyfriend on the cheek and Cloud rubbed her hand happily, they watched the stars for a time, then they left the observatory and walked through the streets before strolling out into the countryside.

Gaia was such a lovely land, full of many lovely and often dangerous locations, the Gaian countryside outside the town was lush and rich with trees and near-endless blades of soft green grass that could be smelled for hours along with the apples that grew from the nearest trees.

Lovely, glamorous beauty, there was no escaping it.

Cloud and Tifa walked until they were in the middle of the countryside on the near outskirts of the town, they sat down upon the grassy ground and stared up at the sky with Tifa sitting in Cloud's lap, her hand stroking his shoulder while her other hand looped around his neck as they breathed in the fresh evening breeze.

The blonde fighter looked into his girlfriend's deep and glamorous eyes, holding her closer to his being, and his mind clicked with a thought.

"Would you lay down for me please?" Cloud asked.

She looked up at him, smiling. "Gladly..." Tifa replied, "But may I ask why?"

"You'll see."

Deciding not to debate with her boyfriend, Tifa lay on her stomach, resting her chin upon her hands. She felt Cloud's legs on the sides of her legs, hearing him sit up, his hands cupping her every leg and moving them between his. Then she felt his smooth, gentle palms and fingers moving up and down her spine.

Cloud was massaging Tifa's back, he'd offered to give her a back massage, and on their date. Tifa pulled out a purple band and fixed her hair, tying it back in a ponytail, making room for her boyfriend to massage her without her hair getting in the way.

His hands moved up and down between the shoulder blades, his fingers digging into her back, and Tifa sighed happily, feeling relaxation and relief.

"You like it?" Cloud asked.

"I feel so relaxed..." Tifa sighed, "You are so gentle, your hands are so smooth..."

She then sat up on her knees and Cloud continued massaging her toned and womanly back until his hands reached over to massage her shoulders. Tifa leaned back, stroking his neck, and sighed as Cloud massaged her shoulders along with her smooth neck.

Cloud massaged Tifa a little longer, then he kissed her on the top of the neck and Tifa turned around, kissing her on the nose. She then pinned him to the ground on her back, laying atop him, and kissed him on the nose.

He lay on his side, Tifa did the same, locking eyes tenderly and feeling their hearts beat in sync as they connected. Cloud cupped Tifa's cheeks, staring into her dark-red & brown eyes, and she stroked his neck while looping her arms around his neck. Feeling happiness and eternal love, they embraced in a long and deep kiss.

'No shit, she's gorgeous...' Cloud thought.

Tifa grasped Cloud's tie and kissed him deeply, pressing her body against his suit, and Cloud kissed her harder before they French-kissed, their tongues danced like wrestling snakes and Tifa sucked on her boyfriend's tongue in a playful manner before they dialed back and kissed gently, making love in the moonlight as the starry heavens glowed with bliss...

The End

Cloud lay in bed, his bare and muscular arms wrapped around Tifa's shapely body as they kissed tenderly on the lips. He'd had taken her to his place and they'd been making passionate love for what felt like an hour now.

The swordsman's suit lay on the floor with the bartender's dress, leaving Cloud in just his briefs while Tifa wore a black lacy bra, and light-black silk panties. Her hair flowed down her smooth back as Tifa kissed Cloud on the nose and she lay her head against his chest with a smile as Cloud kissed her on the forehead and embraced the gorgeous fighter with all the burning love in his heart.

"You've been working out..." Tifa said.

"If all that fighting against bad guys counts." Cloud chuckled.

She licked his neck in a playful manner. "Maybe you should come by on weekends, help run the bar, imagine what we could do in Seventh Heaven together."

Cloud rubbed a hand upon his girlfriend's neck tenderly. "Who knows what we'll do together, Tifa?" He said, "But I look forward to seeing your meteors again, during whatever adventure awaits us..."

A giggle left Tifa's vocal cords and she scooched up, kissing Cloud on the lips while he turned out the lights. They lay in bed, kissing deeply, until a strange sound filled the room, accompanied by a glowing light. Cloud and Tifa looked around, wondering what was going on.

Just then, the bedroom around them vanished, along with the bed, leaving Cloud with Tifa in his arms. The sounds continued and the environment around the couple seemed to shift drastically until it calmed, and then, they found themselves somewhere else entirely.

No longer were they in a bedroom in Midgar, the building they were in was completely different. Cloud and Tifa took notice that they were sitting in a hot tub in their underwear in a different room, and in some other building.

"What just happened?" Cloud asked.

He and Tifa looked around, then they looked up at the wall and confusion washed over them when they saw a poster showing themselves on it with the words "Final Fantasy" on the bottom, followed by the words Square Enix. They then looked out the window, seeing plants and shining lights, it was night out and they could hear... traffic.

Tifa looked into Cloud's eyes and said, "Well, we're not in Midgar anymore..." She then looked at the hot tub around them, "...but perhaps we can have a little more fun."

"Really?"

"It may be late, but that can't stop love." Cloud gently fiddled with the clasp of Tifa's bra.

"Well, since we're in a hot tub somewhere else, why not make the best of it?"

Tifa and Cloud leaned in, kissing hard once more as Cloud grasped Tifa's hips and love filled the strange hot tub room...

-Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart will return-
