Aeris walked through the front doors of the church widely, light streaming in from behind her, smiling she looked down to the other end at her flowers. Placing her arms behind her back and holding one hand in the other Aeris thought how nice it looked.
"He didn't forget."
She said softly, her voice bouncing off the walls and echoing around the church. Walking down the center aisle Aeris could tell that it had been well looked after. Reaching the flower bed she knelt down and lifted the leaf of one flower with her index finger, under the leaf was a bug crawling up the stem. Laughing to herself she reached into her pocket and took out a pair of shears, only small ones and trimmed a little off the plant, letting light shine on a small shoot underneath.
Humming to herself Aeris started checking everthing, making for definate that nothing was ill or was dying. Eventually she stopped and sighed happily. No doubt that whoever had been here had kept it nice which is how it should be.

Tifa passed by sector six once again in hopes of finding Cloud... again. She felt, depressed. The fact she was searching for him was nothing new since she seemed to have found herself doing that a lot recently. It was the fact he had left (again) without a word and without warning. She sighed despairingly as she passed by the church she had once met that strange man, whom she still never got the name of. It was here where she saw Vincent again then began to wonder how he fared.
Tifa noticed the doors were open and peeked inside as she passed by. She heard someone humming... another woman by the sounds of it. Nope. Cloud definately wasn't here. She sighed despairingly again as she leaned against the door. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a figure of a woman kneeling on the ground, tending to the flowers. Probably another passerby who had taken an interest in them since it was rare to see flowers around Midgar. She wore a pink dress with a small red jacket. Her hair long and plaited with a pretty pink bow, and somehow it resembled another woman she once knew two years ago...
[glow=blue,2,300]"A-Ae... Aeris?"[/glow] Tifa's eyes widenend. Her voice somewhat trembling as the name escaped her lips. She couldn't believe who she was seeing. A mixture of joy and disbelief was just writhering inside her... this just wasn't possible.

Still kneeling on the wooden floor Aeris heard a familiar voice coming from the door way, looking up Aeris smiled then stood up onto her feet, brushing some dust off her dress then straightening up with her hand behind her back.
"Hello Tifa."
Aeris said in a normal tone but smiling happily, she was at the far end of the flower bed to Tifa. She understood how weird this must be to her so Aeris decided not to say anything and let Tifa say what she wanted to say.

Tifa blinked hard a couple of times - disbelief consuming her entirely. She walked down the aisle heading further inside the abandoned church, closer to Aeris. So many questions came to mind; When? Why? How did this all happen? You survived? Sephiroth stabbed you. I saw you... She wanted nothing more than to voice out her thoughts but it didn't seem to matter at the moment. A friend she thought to be dead was actually alive. Tifa couldn't help but feel a smile form in the corner of her lips.
She let out a gentle laugh, and hugged Aeris.[glow=blue,2,300]"Oh my god, it really is you!!"[/glow]

Grunting with the force Tifa hugged her with Aeris laughed breifly, hugging her freind too, with so much time passed since the last time they met Tifa seemed different, but it didn't matter to Aeris, all that mattered was that she was back.
"Yes it is, why expecting me to dissapear?"
Aeris said, with a smile.

Tifa's eyes were watery though no tears streamed down. She let go of Aeris and just looked at her with a stunned\astonished look - she acted and spoke as though nothing bad had actually happened. She couldn't answer her. It was partially true. It wasn't that she expected her to disappear. It was the fact there was a time Tifa had to adjust to the fact she was never going to see her again. And she accepted it. Now here Aeris was, ultimately proving her wrong.
[glow=blue,2,300]"Everyone... is not going to believe this. You're actually alive! Cloud would have a heartattack if he just heard the news!"[/glow]

Genesis laughed quietly to himself as he watched his plans unfolding below him...
[glow=red,2,300]"those fools"[/glow]
He chuckled,
[glow=red,2,300]"they have no idea that she..."[/glow]
Genesis paused in mid sentence as he noticed Tifa and scilently swore [glow=red,2,300]"Damn,not again...how the Hell is she finding me!? i cant be seen now..."[/glow]
Quickly, he took off on the roof tops of the nearby buildings, careful to not leave a trail...

Covering her mouth so she wouldn't laugh in Tifa's face Aeris found the thought of a fainting Cloud funny, not as funny as when he wore a dress but still close. It had been too long since Aeris had been in contact with her freinds and she was happy that she had Tifa first. Aeris was about to ask about everyone else when she heard a noise, dissmissing it as a bird she turned back to Tifa.
"So how is everyone?"

*Cloud rode as fast as he could. He didn't know what he saw, or whether if it was even true or not. But he had to see, he had to see it for himself. He felt sorry to he had to leave Tifa. This was not the first time he felt this way, so it was easy to say that he was used to feeling this way. Upon arriving at the 6th sector, Cloud was reintroduced to some fond memories as this was the first time he had talked to Tifa, and this also the place in which he was cured of his diease for only a little while. Whenever Cloud would hide, he would go back here. Cloud simply loved this place, plain and simple. Cloud pulled out the kickstand and turned off his motorcycle and approached the doors. Cloud was afraid of what he might see in here, but he couldn't let that stop him now. Cloud pushed opened the doors and walked forward to see what was in it.*
*As he opened the doors, Cloud heard conversation. He slowed his pace down to try to recognize who it might be. One of them was definately Tifa, as he knew this would be the first spot she would come across. But when he heard the other voice, Cloud's eyes widened. With that, he increased his walking pace. He found someone he thought he would never see again. Someone that has always been held close to Cloud's heart. He looked to Tifa and he finally reached him and then to the familiar face who dressed in pink.*
"...Aerith, is that you?"

Tifa sighed, crossing out her arms as she began. She hated to admit how distant she had been since it was just Vincent, Cloud and Yuffie she had been with recently, and always wondered how the rest had faired. She wasn't certain if she should even mention to Aeris about Cloud's strange behaviour lately.
[glow=blue,2,300]"Everyone's been..."[/glow] She trailed off from her sentence upon hearing a sort of flapping sound. By the time she looked up it was already gone. A hint of worry lingered in the back of her mind, but she didn't think it was that winged adversary again - there weren't any black feathers that he would usually leave behind...
A figure stood by the doorway and judging the footsteps he came closer. Turning around, she smiled brightly as she saw Cloud - he seemed to be in sheer disbelief. Exactly how she was just a moment ago after setting eyes on Aeris... now was the time to wonder if Tifa's prediction actually came true...

Looking over Tifa's shoulder Aeris watched Cloud enter the Church, smiling she waved with her right hand, the strange thing was that Cloud hadn't seemed to have changed at all, apart from the attire that made a change from the old one.
"Hi...Cloud."
Aeris laughed nervously before looking back at Tifa, acting as if all was normal.
"So who looked after my garden while I was away?"

*Cloud was so shocked that whatever Aerith said after "Hi...Cloud" was not even noticed. He moved walked forward one step after another. With his heart skipping a beat every few seconds, Cloud couldn't believe what he had seen. The mere sight of Aerith explained everything. How Cloud was cured, if only for a little while, how he was still alive up 'til now. Cloud wanted to just run and hug Aerith. Cloud put out his hands with signaled as a hug but Cloud didn't notice as he was busy trying to get his words out.*
"Aerith, how...when...I can't believe this..."

Tifa glanced over to Cloud with a sneer at Aeris' query regarding the condition of the garden. She had always suspected he resided here whenever he disappreared but couldn't imagine Cloud gardening and maintaining the beautiful flowers, knowing full too well he couldn't cook... much. Tifa stepped back giving the two some space between them as it appreared Cloud was about to give her a hug.
Before... two years ago, Tifa would've hated to admit that she was just a little bit jealous that Aeris was always the one to catch his eye. But that was then. This was now. A friend was back and she didn't mind at all. She remained silent with a vauge expression as Cloud verbalized her inner thoughts - how exactly did she return?

Smiling as Cloud stammered his words Aeris wondered if him and Tifa had gotten together, but as Tifa stepped out of the way Aeris could tell that they hadn't, it was a nice feeling to know that even though she had been away for a long time Aeris hadn't been forgotten by the people that ment alot to her.
Aeris rocked onto the heels of her boots and held her left hand in her right behind her back, thinking about how she had come back, funnily enough she hadn't thought much about it before.
"After Sephiroth and you guys left I could watch the battle but do nothing else, after the Planet attacked Meteor I couldn't see anything, I was just happy that Holy had worked. After that the next thing I saw was suffering with geostigma, it wasn't right so I had my own battle and then woke up in the Forgotten City."
Aeris spoke clearly and as if it was normal, laughing afterwards she walked closer to Cloud.
"That about cover it?"

[glow=red,2,300] "yeeees...thats right Aries...you just...'woke up' "[/glow] He quietly sneered to himself... Genesis slowly turned his attention to the man with Yellow/gold hair...[glow=red,2,300] "so...this is the infamious 'Cloud' "[/glow] He slowly shook his head... [glow=red,2,300] "how dissapointing..."[/glow] |
