Aerith blinked, emerald green orbs watching the two embrace.She couldn't help but feel a little akward while she stood there.Maybe it would e best if she let them have the moment alone to catch up? She might of been slightly jelous,but at the same time the young women felt just the same as Cloud. Aerith was the one who everyone thought could never feel pain or gult but today, she did.Though it wasn't for herself, She felt mostly for Tifa, as though she let her best friend down.
"....I will be outside..Im sure you two would like to be alone to catch up, Right?" She backed up, the same smile forced on the womens face as she turned around and slowly headed back toward the door.She really didn't want to say anything, as to not distract them from there hug. They may of been hugging for a little longer then she would of liked, but, Aerith trusted Cloud no matter what. She even trusted Tifa.The only thing Aerith was most worryed for, was that Tifa wouldn't like her anymore.She hoped that wouldn't happen,which is why she decided it would be best to leave the two alone.
Clouds arms remained around Tifa, He had almost gotten stuck in the moment,those beautiful blue eyes of his closeing just for a moment,until Aeriths voice slipped though his clouded mind.Cloud slowly released her as he opend his eyes once more.He was stuck, again. What could he say? What -should- he say? Aerith was going to leave? Was that alright? He looked away from Tifa just for a few seconds,then once again to Aerith.
"..Its.." He looked back at Tifa, as if asking her what she wanted her to do.It wouldn't be right if he just let her leave, and then be left alone with Tifa. How good would that look?

As the embrace was released, Tifa almost felt a bit disappointed. Interuppted, as usual. She never did get to have a proper moment with Cloud for long. However in a situation like this... it was understandable.
The dark haired brunette's eyes glanced over to Aerith as she turned to leave, wanting to leave the two alone to 'catch up'. She blinked slightly at this motion, something didnt seem right. Her gaze switched to Cloud, who's eyes spoke volumes as he silently asked her what to do. Tifa glanced down, biting her lip as she stared at her neatly laced shoes. To be honest, she wasn't so sure herself. A part of her was telling her to go ahead and speak to Cloud, yet the other part of her told her otherwise. She didnt know which to side with...
Before she could think any further, she found herself stepping forwards, a hand reaching out to the departing Flower Girl, "W-wait..!" Tifa paused for a moment, taking in a deep breath before continuing, "It's alright Aerith, I'm fine. You... dont have to leave. Stay, I dont mind..."
Tifa sighed slightly to herself as she turned around, facing another direction. Her hair strayed infront of her eyes, hiding her expression from the two. She didnt want them to see her face. Deciding to try and change the subject, she started heading back to the bar counter while saying, "So... what brings you guys here anyway? Come for a drink?"

Aerith's hand slid slowly from the doorway,Just seconds before she had gotten ready to step out.The women turned around to face the two once more.She couldn't figure out if she should be happy about this, or disapointed. If she stayed, she knew Tifa wasn't still to happy about seeing them both together. If she left,then she might make them feel bad.And that was something she did not want.
"Are you sure? I just thought you might like to be alone for a while..Its been so long.." Aerith kept trying to find reasons why she should go, but in truth she didn't want to leave.
After a moments pause, She shook her head. "Actually, We came here hopeing to see you.Everyone has missed you so much.."
Cloud was silent for a few moments,he really hoped things would straighten out. He cared deeply for Tifa, dispite what she might of thought now.But it was true, He cared for her deeply, as one of his dear friends.Because like he had said once, Everyone, and everything is important to him.
"Everyone here here, Just about..I know they would be happy to see you."

Tifa made her way over and behind the bar counter. She faced forwards towards them, her heart sinking a bit with each passing minute. She leaned forwards onto the counter, resting her elbows on the smooth surface, one leg bent to support her body weight as she stood. Her hair swayed a bit with her movements, causing her to brush a few hairs from her face and curl them neatly behind her ear. She played at her fingers, almost nervously, as she stared at the two.
After the brief and very akward silence, Aerith and Cloud spoke up. Tifa blinked slightly, everyone else was around here too..? The thought played in her mind for a while, before she said, "..Really? You think they'll be happy to see me?" It had been so long, she wondered if they'd remember her face, or even recognize her.

There it was, the infamous wreckage of the Sector 3 reactor. No one knows how really, but nobody died in the collision. At all. Must have been a work of the Planet in gratitude for blowing the hell out of one of the reactors that was sucking it's life away. But at the moment, that didn't matter. The people of Sector 3 had been saved by some omnipresent force and the crew had managed to escape safely via a plan set in by the Captain. So, pretty much, no casualties.
The wreckage of the Falcon had been dragged into the nearby field by it's crew and a number of summons as repairs had start almost immediately. The Falcon was almost back to her original self due to it's crew and captain. Of course, now they had to work to pay off a huge debt.
Wonderful, huh?
Well, it's Captain and his personal friends were doing most of the work of course, even though it was the fault of some of the crew that led to the ship crashing.
Why don't we peer back into a number of months ago, aboard that very ship on the fateful day it crashed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At a table in the engine room sat six men of the crew, three of which were recognizable as the trio of Spikadul 'Spiker' Grey, Grimime 'Grimm" Hawkeye and Pyronetiv 'Pyro' Veonid. They and three other random crew members that no one cared about had been playing a number of hands of 'Team Poker'. Don't ask how it worked, but it just did. Of course, the other side of not-Spiker, Grimm and Pyro was winning.
So, what does this have to do with the airship crashing into Sector 3? Well, Spiker has a short temper, Pyro has an even shorter temper and Grimm HATES to lose. And a bunch of crewmembers under their command were beating them at their own game. What does this lead to? Anger and lots of throwing of chairs.
It wasn't long after their 53rd loss that Pyro lost it. Grabbing his chair, he would fling the solid metal object over a railing and into the gears as Spiker flipped the table hard enough to send it over the railing with the chair as Grimm flexed his might and tossed the other chairs over to get them out of the way for the ensuing brawl. Well, while the 6 men fought, s**t started to crumble. The metal stopped the gears which stopped the airship which would lead it to crash. They didn't realize this until too late.
How the escape went down was that three pods that had been held in the cargo bay like. Forever. Would be ejected with the whole crew aboard them. Of course, three people stayed behind to try and direct the airship into the plains, but they failed. Those three were among the highest ranked officers on the ship. Enxitan 'Enix' Kiroshima, Kentaro 'Shadow' Kiroshima and Grimm.
However, they failed and everything went to s**t. Airship crashed into Sector 3, they escape via parachute but were severely injured, and now there was a huge debt to pay off.
There you go! The explanation of the crashing Falcon!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently at the moment, Kaizer HAD been running an mission for a high-ranking official in Shin-Ra. He had to deliver crates of supplies and tools to the engineers repairing Reactor 3.
However, he had finished this mission a few hours ago and was currently sitting in the three-wheeled delivery truck eating his food he got at a McSquanalds. Damn good food.
It wasn't until his little train of thought was interrupted by a girlish-scream that dragged on. Looking out the window, he had saw a man who he had met months ago. Incidentally, that had been a few hours before the airship crash.
"What the....Archie?!" He said as he gave a light growl at the mob who was chasing him. Rolling his eyes, he kicked it into reverse and squealed back as he hit it into drive and punched the pedal to the metal. Screeching off, he drifted around the corner and zoomed after Archie as he slowed down enough. "Get in sweetcheeks! Time to get you outta here!" he said as he motioned to the back of his truck.

Cloud calmly walked over to the bar,pulling out one of the bar stools as he took a seat. It was indeed very akward, and for the first time he didn't go for it being as silent as it seemed to be.If only someone else would break through that door, It would surely rid of some of the silence, and maybe even the sadness that still hung around the three.
As Tifa spoke, Clouds eyes moved to rest on the young girl behind the counter.The mans lips curling into a faint smile,As he tryed to give at least a little reinsurence.
"Of course they would.Yuffie and Nanaki are always bringing you up, Wondering where and how you are.A few days ago, Yuffie was actually complaining about who broke the 'family' up." A small smirk playing at his lips. He thought of ways to attempt to cheer Tifa up,why not something that was not like Cloud,something no one would think the man to ever do? Impressions! It had to work,he hoped. "In her words.. "Alright! Who here is the reason for breaking up the family?! I miss Tifa! And Barret! And even that annoying Cait Sith! I want to go seeee them!"
And, just in that moment.The door to the bar was slammed open,and a young girl ran inside.Dressed in light cream colored shorts,a black floral tank top and small leather vest, complete with cream in color knee high boots,and a massive weapon she never put down,her beloved Conformer.She appeared to look more Wutainese then the rest of them looked,Short raven hair,and chestnut brown eyes. Who else could this girl be other then the hyper active little ninja everyone grew to love.
"Ah! Who did it!? CLOUD! I know you did it! I heard you! You were talking about me! " Yuffie glared at the spikey haired man,She was just about to run over and give him a few words when someone in the bar cought the ninja's eye. A women dressed in black,long dark brunette hair and deep brown eyes?
"Tifa!! Your here!" Yuffie waved dramaticlly,It appeared she rememberd the girl,who would she ever forget? Her best friend.Rather, Yuffie had always thought of Tifa as an older sister, just as she did with Aerith.

Sometime during that day, Korangar left the mansion without anyone noticing. This was made possible by the pipe that led from his chamber to the chimney. How he managed this was not determined, and he sure as hell wasn't going to be explaining it. In any case, he made his promised return trip to the weapon shop. Not only did he purchase the custom shotguns he had requested, but also two semi-automatic sniper rifles, two sub machineguns, two high-calibur pistols, two wrist-mounted covert pistols, which could fit beneath his sleeves, and a thermal-targetting stinger launcher. In addition to this, he purchased enough munitions to supply a galactic war for several centuries. All of these he stashed within his cloak, although he was not going to be explaining how this was possible, either. In exchange, he filled the weapon shop's 'secret chamber' with mountains of gold coins, various gems, as well as ornate jewelries. Having finished his shopping, he returned to his chamber in the same way that he had left it. Once in his chamber, he hung his new toys among the numerous blades he had already obtained.

Cody followed Yuffie in, grinning slightly, holding a hand up as he entered. " Dont worry...Yuffie beat some sense into me....apparently pissing her off is a very very bad idea...." He rested his katana on his shoulder in it's sheath...although it looked like he'd been through hell....
Vincent followed Cody in...unlike the young man who'd been drawn by the dark crystal in Yuffie's posession..he was there to protect Yuffie..in case she did get in trouble...she was like the daughter he never wanted....but he felt like he should protect her....her energy reminded him so much of....His thoughts trailed off as he nodded to Cloud and Aerith, smiling slowly as he spotted Tifa. " It has been a while Tifa...you never did tell me where the phone shop was...."

Cloud turned his atention from Tifa,and Yuffie..To the man who followed Yuffie inside. What was he doing here? Cloud did not trust him, no matter how his aditude suddenly changed, or the fact that Yuffie and Vincent seemed to trust him.A rather massive leathel looking sword, known as Ultima Weapon was suddenly held out just a few feet from Cody's neck.Cloud was always so dramatic, wasn't he?
Yuffie sighed,eyeing Cloud with an annoyed look.Man he had trusting issues! "Cloud..Calm down will you? He's not bad anymore.." Yuffie turned to look back at Cody with a small grin. "Oh yeah. Yuffie always wins, you know!" She ran over to pull up a chair near the bar,before takeing a seat. Elbows proped up onto the counter,before the young ninja gave Vincent a quick glance. "Come over here, Vinnie! Man..All we need is Cid and annoying Cait,and grumpy Barret,and...we have everyone!"

Cody whipped his sword out, a slash of white across cloud's vision, and a few strands of blonde hair fell to the ground as he sheathed the blade with a slight grin. "Easy Spike....I aint jacked up no more." He walks under the blade and lightly hugs Aerith. "Hi Aer, how's it goin sweetie...." He hops onto the bar, "Miss Tifa, how 'bout one of your famous cocktails?"

Korangar, once again sitting on the chair in his darkened chamber beneath the new Avalanche mansion, suddenly sat straight up, his attention drawn toward something well beyond the crystalline walls of his room. As his flaming irises searched the black facets, he was aware of something approaching. Something massive. Something that, for some reason he couldn't explain, felt like was targetting him. Using the pipe in the ceiling of his room, he transported himself to the roof of the mansion.
From the viewpoint of anyone outside, a billowing cloud of smoke erupted from the mansion chimney, swirling about just above the roof, rather than continuing to rise into the air. As Korangar formed within it, blazing eyes searching the horizon, he shook his head so that his flowing, jet-black hair fell behind his shoulders, although his silver bangs stayed perfectly to either side of his face, the only disruption of this being the strong breeze that blew through the city at this level.

Meanwhile, while everyone was haveing there one time reuinon after so many years,in Tifa's bar, Elena was outside takeing a walk outside of the city life. She didn't like social gatherings very much and would rather keep out of it if she could.The Turk sighed, god was she ever bored.She thought by getting out of th city she might of found something to do but so far,there wasn't a thing.There were not very many people out and about today for that matter.
"Ooh maan..This city isn't like it used to be." She complained to herself.The young womens deep brown eyes takeing a short scan of the area.Just as she was about to turn away and head in another direction,she spun around so quickly, that she almost stumbled from a short lived dizy spell.Something cought her eyes,Something big! And something she did NOT wish to see.
"WEAPON?!? WHY? No..way..That just cant b---" She paused, The weapon wasn't staying stationary, No. The creature was moveing! Toward Midgar..Elena gasped in shock.She was alone, now what the heck would she do against weapon? The only thing that would happen if she went up against it would be her being killed.
