It was a rather slow day today, Tifa didn't get many visitors. She was thinking of the kids. She decided to go upstairs and check on them, she always knew where the kids were. Today it was raining pretty hard, so she knew they would be upstairs. She was humming, she heard the children, and a big smile was seen on her face. She slipped her head in, seeing them playing. She walked into the room and hugged them, she wondered what they would do today. She was lost in there eyes, there youth. She wished she could go back, to never go out to the mountain. She didn't want to lose anyone, she thought she did with Cloud, something she didn't want to see.
But she was very strong, she got better as she grew up. Her life really wasn't always so simple. Her father blaming Cloud for not stopping her, but sometimes she needed to do things. Secret things, she wasn't open with her father very much. And her mother is dead, so now she had her friends. She went back to her bar, making sure everything was neat. She began to sing again, she sat down and relaxed. She reached into her pants pockets, and saw her cell phone, but no one sent anything. But she was going to get in contact with everyone else. She began to call up friends, to see if anyone had heard from Cloud.

Roxas
It was pouring hard, and roxas had no umbrella, and his hand drawn map was ruined. Soon, he was soaking wet, and he was cold, rubbing his upper arms, he stumbled upon a place. He walked inside, shivering a little, "Is this an Inn?" he asked, shaking, he didn't want to move anywhere because he didn't want to get anything wet and seem rude. He just stood there, looking around, it didn't seem like an Inn to him, seemed more "Um, I don't have any money." He said, he was only a 16 year old, he couldn't find a job here, he wasn't really qualified for anything at all. He pulled out his ruined hand drawn map, trying to see what it said, but could only make out a few mountains, he sighed, at least a ocuple of weeks worth of hand drawings wasted all in 1 hour.
Roxas was still a little cold, but the heater was warming him up, but only doing it little by little. Blonde hair dripping with rain water, he began to walk torwards the lady behind the counter, tripping once, because the wooden floor, and his wetness, and it actually helps if you were clumsy too. He got up, dusting himself off, and continue to slowly make his ways around tables and chairs, then sat down on the chair stool, and wondered what to say.

At first she didn't pa attention, but all of a sudden she heard the door open up. Her brown eyes scanned a young kid. She had a smile on her face, and shook her head. "It's a bar the back. Coming back she draped a blanket around him. Looking into his eyes again, he was" She saw how soaked he was, when he finally sat down. She told him to wait a moment, she went in special, she could see it. "I have one spare room, you can stay with me" She said with a kindness in her eyes, she liked helping people. She just wished she could say something to Cloud, but she shook off what she was thinking of. "I take care of two other children, about your age.' she smiled.
She motioned for him to follow, she made sure he could hear her. She hummed yet again, something she did when she was thinking really hard. She made up her last spare bed, she grabbed some clothing and made it up, she wondered what would happen , she was content now. She saw him, smiling.

Roxas
He drooped on the inside when he heard this wasn't an Inn, but the lady dissapeared around a corner, and came back with a blanket. The nice person in front of him draped the blanket over his shoulders, and he jumped a little when she touched him. Roxas sat down in one of those bar chairs, and Roxas was tempted to spin his body around it, like being on a mini mary-go-round, but decided against it, he could get sick especially if he got too dizzy. One room left, maybe he should leave it for someone who needs it more than him, but the lady was being kind, and he didn't want to offend her, "Um, sure." He said, with some little spots of doubt in it, and got up, still holding the blanket with one hand, following her, he wlked into this room, that was going to be his room for the night. She made his bed, and got out some dry clothes for him, but he would have made his bed on his own, and he smiled. He quickly grabbed his clothes, and walked into a nearby bathroom, and changed, and he walked out into his so called room. "Uh, I'm Roxas." he offered, he was tense whenever someone touched ihm, or without warning, he grew up without being touched, so it was kind of foregin to him.
But to Roxas, everything around him was forgein, everyone else has a strange accent, strange clothing, strange weapons, strange everything! But to everyone else, his clothes were strange things, his voicce, his hair, everything was weird to them, but that's the excitement of going places, learning new cultures. He snapped back, and only had a little bit of a confused, but looked around again. "You said something about kids my age?" He asked questionally, looking at the person again, but hardly giving her a chance to speak, because he walked towards the bar's counter again, and sat down thinking about life's tough, and then he wondered if they had any root beer.

The rain peppered Cloud's riding glasses as he rode Fenrir towards Edge. As the city came into view, his cell phone rang in his pocket. I know, I know. Tifa wants me at the bar now. Could you just shut up? The phone stopped ringing. Thank you. He accellerated as he neared the glowing city.
Cloud sped through the outskirts of the city and into the main district. "Fenrir" handled very well around the water slicked roads, sending up a spray of water every time he made a turn. Those who were on the streets jumped out of his way as the motorcycle roared past. Cloud could see "Seventh Heaven" as he accellerated around the final turn. He braked hard, and the wheels locked, sending the bike sliding forward on the slick road.
When the bike stopped under the awning of the bar, Cloud turned off the ignition and dismounted the bike. He put the kickstand down and grabbed the keys. He walked through the door, sending off the bells that made it known that there was a customer. He put his riding goggles on the coat rack and called with a somewhat sarcastic tone, "Hey Tifa! Thanks for telling every single one of your friends to call me!"
Thant's when he noticed the kid sitting at the bar. Cloud hadn't seen him around the continent at all. He was dressed in strange clothes and looked about sixteen. Clouds warrior instincts kicked in and he placed a hand on the hilt of the massive buster sword that was on his back. "You're a little young to be in a bar." Cloud growled at the kid.

Tifa smiled looking at the kid, she began to wonder where this kid was from. Something about him made her, well she didn't know how this kid made her feel. It was so strange for her, but then she heard the door open again, she saw it was Cloud. She had to have a moment to catch her breath. For a moment everything stopped. Flashes of the past, she shook her head and smiled even more.
"Well it's not my fault Cloud, this is why you picked up your cell phone and give me updates at least" She sighed some looking back at the kid. When he made the comment she looked back at Cloud and silently sighed.
"This is Roxas, he will be staying with me for a while, you know me I help when I can" She said simply. Tifa went up to Cloud and hugged him, she had so much love for him. She wanted to be his girlfriend, she prayed always for it. But also because of what happened to Cloud, she was afraid he would die. She got bad nightmares about it to, she looked into his eyes.
"It is good to see you Cloud, ive missed you more then you will ever know"

Roxas "Too late to fight, It ends tonight"
He turned around, and faced this stranger, "Shut up!" He didn't like being called young, especially by someone he did not know. He turned to Tifa, and she walked over and had introduced him, and then Roxas said, "Yes, the guy you oh so don't know." he said it sarcastically, hands in his lap, and then turned back around, and tried his best to ignore the 'moment' with Cloud and Tifa. At one point, he knew is was going to laugh, so he did his best and walked into his room, and plopped down on the bed, then laughed quietly. It's not like he think love is funny, it's just it's really awkward when he's around two lovey-doveys. He shook his head, and just sat on the side of his bed, and began looking for anything to entertain himself with.
He found a T.V. channel, that looked like they were racing giant birds, he read in the corner it said 'Chocoboes' Roxas tried his best to pronounce it, "Cho-co-boes" It was a little wobbly, but it's still a new language to him, 'what place is this to race with birds?' He asked himself, and he walked back out to ask Tifa a question, not wanting to intterupt 'the moment' for Tifa, but maybe for Cloud. "Hey Tifa, what are chocoboes?" He asked, messing up the word chocoboes, and sat down in the same chair he was in earlier, looking around. Turning on the tv, he changed it to the chocoboes, and pointed, "These." he was so interested in this strange thing, he continued watching the bird race with eachother with a questioned looking face. He leaned on his hand, becoming bored with the race, he wasn't a real race fan and he couldn't sit still for a race at all.
"I'm still here."

Cloud let go of the hilt of the sword when Tifa came around the bar and introduced him to the kid. Roxas. Weird name for a kid. Tifa then came over to him and hugged him. He embraced her and she said, "It's good to see you Cloud. I've missed you more than you'll ever know."
Cloud pulled out slowly, still hanging on to her hands and looked at her. His gaze immediately went to her eyes. Her eyes were the most beutiful part of her. He kept getting images of him holding on to her dying body and looking for help. He only remembered that part of their life as well as the first time. He had failed to protect her in both instances.
He let go of her hands as the kid walked into the bar again. "Hey Tifa. What is a chocobo?" he asked. Man this kid is weird. He began to walk to the bar where the kid had turned on a chocobo race. "Can I get my regular please?" he said as he walked over to the bar.

Tifa smiled at him, something was different that was for sure, this kid was cute. She nodded to Cloud and got his drink out. She put his drink in front of him, looking at the kid. "Well they are large birds that you can ride, they are very smart. Even tho people think im crazy, but hey who cares" She said kindly. Looking at him she wondered. She got some root beer and placed it down in front of him.
"Here, hope you like root beer" She said with a gentle smile, looking around she wondered. Outside she heard rumbling and knew a storm was coming through. Tifa thought for a moment, everything was different.

Roxas
He guessed it, he ruined the moment for Cloud, but he felt bad for Tifa, he ruined it for her. She told Roxas that were giant bird and very smart, the biggest bird Roxas saw before the Chocobos, were about as big as his hand. 'Here, hope you like root beer.' She said, "Good thing I do." He chuckled and took a gulp of it, then tried to strike a conversation with Cloud, "Um, so what's been going on?" He asked a little bit troubled, he wasn't the world's greatest conversation starter, and took another drink of his root beer, and looked away from him, staring at the T.V, pretending to be instrested more into the t.v. than what Cloud had to say. [[sucky posting! xP]]

Cloud looked at the kid. He was strange. His clothes were strange, his accent was strange, and his weapons were strange. What was even stranger was when he asked what was going on. Cloud looked at Tifa and with an exasperated sigh, turned back to address them both. "More monsters are showing up. I have no clue how, but I think something is about to happen in the next few weeks." He took a sip from the glass, feeling the drink go down his throat. He kept part of it in the glass and swirled it around. He looked at Roxas. "But enough about my world...what about yours?"

She smiled at what was said, she smiled and relaxed back a bit. "I hear ya, ive been getting reports lately. Which is why I had everyone get a hold, something is coming, but I think its about to happen" She looked down and closed her eyes. She didn't know what to say, or what to do. She looked at Roxas. "Where you from?"

Roxas:
He was asked where he was from, so he replied as best as he could, "Small place called twilight town. Nothing really exciting happens there." He said, and looked at the ceiling, He hadn't heard any thunder or lightning to it must be over, he thought. He finished the last of his root beer and stood up, "Thanks for the RB." He said, putting his own acronyms on root beer and left the glass on the counter. He shoved his hands into his pockets and walked into his room, and plopped on his bed. He looked at the ceiling, the bare white walls, and then the floor, 'It's boring, maybe I should find out more about those monsters.' He said to himself, then had an idea, he jumped up wrote a note saying he's gone investigating and not to worry, then jumped out of the window. Roxas was surprised it wasn't raining anymore, but looking up he could see some blue skies breaking through the clouds. He smiled and continued walking towards town, shoving hands into his pockets and came upon a lady. "Excuse me ma'am, but have you seen any 'monsters' lately?" He asked as politely as he could, but the lady turned and ran from him at the word monster, 'What's whit her?'

Cloud listened to the kid, but only partially. What Tifa had said somewhat comforted him. At least she and the others knew about the monsters. Cloud caught the name of the town where the kid lived and sighed. Twilight Town? What type of stupid name is that? he thought as the kid got up and thanked Tifa for the root beer. He then disappeared into the room that Tifa had made for him.
Cloud sighed as the door closed behind the kid. He would never get used to that kid. He looked up at Tifa and then returned to his drink. He finished and was about to pay when a woman came in looking like she had seen a ghost. This can't be good.
The woman began to speak about some kid who had said the "M" word and was asking about them. The description she gave matched that of Roxas. Cloud was out of his seat and through Roxas's door before he could hear anything else. The room was empty. There was a note on the bed that ws still made up, but that was it. Cloud picked up the note and read it. This wasn't good. He walked out and handed the note to Tifa without a word and waited for her to react.

Roxas
He sighed after so many failiures of getting an anwser out of these people, so he decided to go for a walk into the woods. 'Man this place is dark...' a twig snapped, making Roxas jump, turnging aorund, "Uhh, what was that?" He said aloud to noone, and continued walking. Just then a small speedy green thing ran right onf ront of Roxa, sending him backwards into a bush. "What the he-" He said coming out of the bushes and stared at a cactus looking thing, bring out his keyblade he poked it once and it took off runing. 'What was that all about?' He thought to himself and continued walking and came upon a clearing. Squinting a it's brightness, he saw a giant green cactus. Looking up he realised it was the small cactus, but only bigger. Saying to anybody who was here-if anybody was hre, "Uhh, guys... a little help here..." He summoned the keyblade, wondering how to fight it.
