A Night of Celebration

 

Edge was rebuilding from the sudden attack that occurred only two weeks ago. Many people gathered together to help a fellow citizen back on track. Mass funerals were held constantly—all in which Tifa and Barret attended…Vincent and Yuffie assisted in reunited children with their parents…Cid, Red XIII, and Cait Sith all stayed with the city council to organize the rebuilding operations. While the others stayed in Edge for the majority of their time, Cloud was sent across the world to give the news to the many contractors that needed to be brought in. He was gone for the two weeks, even after he promised himself that he'd stay with his unconventional family. He wasn't expected back until later next weekend. Even so, the city had to continue its community effort and bring everything back to normalcy.

 

It was almost time for the party to begin in celebration of the defeat of Sephiroth and his cronies. “AVALANCHE Appreciation Day” was designated for the satisfaction of all citizens of the world. They were free to live in leisure for the next two days. Barret's dream had come true, people understood the struggle that Biggs, Wedge, and Aeris all died for. From blowing up Shinra reactors to saving the world from Sephiroth all over again, AVALANCHE took care of the weak and provided a stable life for all. All were equal, and all were represented.

 

Since the time was almost near, Tifa was behind the bar cleaning the counter after closing shop early for the day. Case after case of alcohol, ranging from wine to whiskey to beer, lined up along the walls waiting to be shipped into the streets for the consumption of the people of Edge. She looked at the site and smiled slightly at the thought of all the jubilation and joy these troubled citizens were about to undergo. It would be a wonderful time for all, even without Cloud around to take it in with her. However, she couldn't dwell on that thought. Tifa was called upon to make a speech to the people at the parade.

 

* * * *

 

With Denzel and Marlene by Tifa's side, she sat patiently on the platform looking out at the vast amounts of people who cheered and applauded the man that stood at the podium. They were expecting the man to cheer them up with a delectable speech however, unfortunately for them, the man at the podium was Vincent Valentine. Once the crowd finally settled down to all him to say his words, Vincent scanned over the crowd for a moment before saying, “Thank you.” He walked off the podium casually and unaffected by the brief message he left all the people. They responded in stark silence and confusion unsure about what happened. Tifa placed her hand on her head and chuckled lightly completely expecting him to do that. Finally, someone clapped then the crowd erupted into loud cheering and fanfare; once he stepped into the streets, a gang of screaming girls mobbed Vincent.

 

The crowd was screaming wildly before they began chanting `Tifa! Tifa! Tifa!' once she stood from her chair and approached the podium. She smiled gently at all the citizens as the continued on cheering and like the time before, when they quieted, she began her speech.

 

“Thank you all for your patience and gratitude. I will try to make this speech quick, but not as quick as Vincent's.” She joked before continuing on. “We have all undergone stressful times in our lives these past few years and it may have seemed that there was nothing more than a grim outlook on our future as a planet. As you can see, we managed to survive, we managed to break from death's grip and live on. We were strong and we begin to grow stronger. With our unity as a people, nothing will stand in our way from living peaceful and productive lives here. We will all be happy, safe, and loved! Because of you all, I fight on to keep this planet safe along with the rest of my friends…your friends…our friends. AVALANCHE is in all of us and we can all contribute to our planets protection. Thank you all, thank you all.” Before the crowd erupted into a flurry of cheers, someone yelled out of the crowd, “I love you Tifa!” After that, they all screamed and the celebration began. It was party time.

 

Tifa sent the kids off with Cait Sith once eleven o'clock at night had came; they went to the 7th Heaven to rest since it was closed down. However, the gala hall was open to all the public and was the center of the celebration for Tifa and the gang. She was shaking the many citizens' hands and hugging people as they came by thanking her for the work she did. Cid and Barret sat at a table in the back playing a game of poker with a bunch few other people with a crowd to cheer and watch. Yuffie danced with a crowd of younger adults on the large dance floor to the various types of music the DJ played for them. Red and Vincent sat together in a far corner to watch the event. They wanted no part of the festivities…other than Vincent's drinking. Everything was going according to plan, including Cloud's lack of appearance.

 

* * * *

 

As the night went on, more people began to leave and the crowd began to thin. The younger adults were still dancing but their numbers dispersed as well but Yuffie was still dancing, “Wow, she's always full of energy.” Tifa mumbled as she walked by the dance floor. It seemed fun to be that way though, a teenager enjoying every bit of life while she could. Tifa sighed lightly thinking that she wasn't good at dancing, even though she hadn't done it in such a long time. She was ready to go back to the 7th Heaven until Yuffie's eyes caught a glimpse of her.

 

Yuffie charged at Tifa bubbling with energy, “Teeeeeeeefaaaaaaaahh!” she shouted as she hugged her good-friend. “Wonderful speech…I loved it…the dancing is great…I saw Cloud…all the pretty lights…its like…like…MATERIA!!!”

 

Tifa was ignoring everything Yuffie said until she realized one of the comments, “What! You saw Cloud…where?” Immediately as she asked that, a hand touched her shoulder and she spun around to see Cloud behind her. “Hi, Tifa.”

 

“Cloud…you were suppose to be gone…”

“Yea, but theres no use in missing out on the party, right? Besides, it would be nice to spend it with you.”

 

`With me' she thought before saying, “Denzel and Marlene are with Cait Sith at home.” She was avoiding what he had just said thinking that she was just hearing things because of how loud the music was.

 

Cloud placed a hand in hers to lead her away from all of the loud music, but Yuffie stopped them, “Wait…something… I gotta show…come!”

 

Cloud looked to Tifa and shrugged before following Yuffie to a backroom in the gala hall. As they walked down the hall they looked at people who were smiling constantly and looked to be in another separate place. Once they entered the room, Yuffie ran up to the table where a Reno and Rude sat with bags of little candies. After they exchanged gil and candy, Yuffie ran up to Cloud and Tifa and handed them a candy.

 

“I…haven't tried, this-this one but apparently its called Tarts.” She said before running off into the gala dance floor again.

 

Tifa and Cloud looked down at the small candy in their hands then to eachother and shrugged. After a while, they left the backroom and walked down the quiet streets with eachother.

 

“Where did you want to take me Cloud?” She asked curiously as she tried to hide the hint of excitement in her voice.

 

Cloud shrugged and folded his arms across his chest, “No, its fine now…don't worry about it. That can wait…” He reached into his pocket to pull out the small candy and asked, “I'm more so curious of what these `tarts' are.”

 

“Tarts, what does that mean?” She asked Cloud as she looked at the candy in her palm.

 

“I dunno,” Cloud shrugged before popping the candy into his mouth. Its sweet taste erupted into his mouth and he smiled at its taste. “It seems like candy to me…I'm not convulsing or anything…it doesn't even taste weird. You should try it Tifa…”

 

“Well, Reno and Rude were selling it out back how can I trust this.”

 

“I'm not dying.”

 

“Fine.” With that, she popped the candy into her mouth and began chewing it before swallowing. “Wow this was good…why do we only have one?”

 

Cloud shook his head and replied, “Its probably because Yuffie wanted to keep them all to herself.”

 

“Probably so.”

 

* * * *

 

A thirty moments later, they were in the 7th Heaven together. Tifa took Clouds hand in her and took him to her office. “I want you to hear this album our customer gave us to play in the bar, come” She asked and Cloud did just that. Cloud sat down and watched as Tifa started the music in the room. She sat across from him and listened as the music filled the room, it was filled with flowing guitar and a hypnotic drum line. The voice was interesting and vulnerable in its timbre. Tifa closed her eyes in order to concentrate on the sounds of the music.

 

“How do you like it Cloud?” She asked him as she opened her eyes to look at him. To her surprise, Cloud looked to be in another world. His eyes were dilated and he waved his hands out infront of himself absent-mindedly. “Cloud?” Tifa asked in a slightly concerned voice.

 

“What…the…hell.” He responded.

 

Within a few moments, Tifa's vision began to disorient and suddenly everything was in vibrant colors. It seemed as if she could see the music instead of hear it and when her hand touched Cloud's, it felt as if she was touching his soul. “Whoa.” Tifa commented.

 

* * * *

 

It was just afternoon and Tifa was coming to, she groaned lightly awakening from her rest. Everything seemed normal and the same except for the fact that she was completely naked and she felt something inside of her in between her legs. Her eyes shot open and she noticed that she was lying on top of Cloud who slept like a baby. “Cloud!” she shouted. He shot up slightly, unable to rise up since Tifa was still lying on him. Immediately, he noticed that his penis was inside of her.

 

“…”

 

“How did this happen?” She asked him confused.

 

“I have no idea…” He responded simply.

 

“We were suppose to do this after our wedding day…” she said somewhat glumly, in her mind, she didn't really care. She thought before was good enough since they were engaged. Cloud chuckled lightly and watched as Tifa lifted off of him, “Ow, I'm so sore…” She mumbled as she moved off the bed.

 

“Tifa, we just had sex…” Cloud said calmly.

 

She looked at him and shrugged lightly, “Yeah, I guess we did…”

“Come here.” Cloud demanded with a sly grin on his lips and complied knowing exactly what he wanted. As she got close to him, they kissed one another passionately. He pulled her over him for he could get a feel of her breast with his hands running his fingers over her nipples and gripping onto them as they went. When they parted, Cloud grinned and asked, “You know when you heard someone yell `I love you Tifa' in the crowd?”

 

“Yeah.” She responded with a smile, her hand softly ran down his bare chest somewhat tentatively.

 

“That was me.” He answered before they kissed eachother again. As they pulled away, Tifa licked his lips, which prompted him to say, “Mmm, Yuffie is good for something it seems…you know, why don't we have sex again, now.” Tifa grinned, kissed his neck softly, and said, “You're my future husband…why not. I love you Cloud.”

 

“I know, and you're mine.”

 

 

-END-

 

 

*I don't do drugs, so this is all just based on the knowledge that my friends have told me about. It might not all be correct.*

 

Also, if you're wondering how they are engaged, at the end of the Advent Children movie, Tifa has an engagement ring on her right hand ring finger. You can see if perfectly when she's leading Denzel into the healing water.

 

- I hope you enjoyed the story. Of course, read and review, and all that other good stuff. Buh Bai.
