Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tifa
"Cloud..."

Cloud
"Why are you so scared? Don't worry about me. I'm all right."
"No matter how confused I am, I'll never believe a word that Sephiroth says."
"It's true that sometimes I can't figure out who I am."
"There's a lot of things muddled up in my memories."
"But, Tifa......."
"But you said, 'Long time no see, Cloud' right?"
"Those words will always support me."
"I am the one you grew up with. I'm Cloud of Nibelheim."
"No matter how much I lose faith in myself, that is the truth."
"That's why you shouldn't be so scared."
"No matter what anyone else says to me, it's your attitude that counts..."

Tifa
"No, that's not true, Cloud......"

Cloud
"What's not? Aren't I the same Cloud you grew up with?"

Tifa
"That's not what I meant... I don't know how to say it..."
"Cloud, I need some time... Just give me a little time..."

Tifa: "Now that you mention it, why did you want to join SOLDIER in the first place."

Cloud: "......I was devastated. ......I wanted to be noticed. I thought if I got stronger I could get someone to notice."

Tifa: "Someone has to notice you...? ......who?"

Cloud: "Who.........? ......You know who! ......You, that's who."

Cloud: "I think I lost some weight... all that dilly dallying"

Tifa: *smiles*

Tifa
"Hmm... But that's all right, even if no one comes back."
"As long as I'm with you... As long as you're by my side... I won't give up even if I'm scared."


Cloud
"...... Tifa......"



Tifa
"No matter how close we are... We were far apart... before this."
"But when we were in the Lifestream surrounded by all those screams of anguish, I thought I heard your voice..."


Tifa
"...sniff... you probably don't remember this..."
"But deep in my heart I heard you calling my name... Or at least I thought I did..."


Cloud
"Yeah... At that time I heard you calling me."

Tifa: " Words arent the only thing that tell people what you are thinking"

Cloud:"Give me back my hometown, my mother, Tifa".

"But I thought it was funny, considering all the other times I thought my 'new life' was starting."

"Why is that funny?"

"Cause I always screwed it up."

"That's not funny."

This time...I think I'll be okay."

Cloud was silent for a long time before he spoke again, "Because I have you"

As Tifa looked away from the sky towards the ground, she was afraid of the future. But the Cloud beside her chose to smile gently. It was a smile that she hadn't seen before during their journey. Cloud noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Cloud, you're smiling."

"I am?"

"Yeah."

"It all starts now. A new..." Cloud looked for the right words. "A new life."

"I'm going to live. I think that's the only way I can be forgiven. All sorts of things... happened."

"But when I think about how many times I've thought about how I was going to start a new life, it's funny."

"Why?"

"I've always failed to do it."

"And you couldn't smile."

"...I think it will be all right this time."

Cloud became very quiet. "Because you've always been with me."

"I've always been with you."

"That's tomorrow's story," Cloud replied, smiling again.

-------------------------------

When Tifa and Cloud were alone, Cloud said, "It's not like you to be troubled by your thoughts."

"It's... Just the way I am."

"No. You're much more cheerful and strong. If you've forgotten the way you were then, I'll be there to remind you."

"You really will?"

"Probably," Cloud said blushing.

Cloud: Thanks everyone. Especially you, Tifa. You've been so kind to me... I don't know what to say.

Aerith : "Is Tifa...... a girl?"

Cloud : "Yeah."

Aerith : "A girl... friend?"

Cloud : "Girlfriend?"

Cloud : "Yeah, that's right"

Aerith : "Oh, how nice."

Cloud: "You mean she'll be travelling with us?!"

Shotgun (F): "That's what a guide does. She asked me about you."

Cloud: "! And what did you say?!"

Shotgun (F): "I told her I wasn't sure if the soldier I met was you or not. I never thought the world could be such a small place."

Cloud: "I see... Hmmm... I have a favor to ask. I want you to keep this a secret and not tell Tifa that I'm back."

Quotes from Case of Barret!!

Though it's not exactly a Cloti quote, but I found it amusing. It's when Barret went to visit Cid.
