"Yeah, yeah, so you got me there,"
Zack admitted while smiling, throwing his hands up in defeat. He leaned his face above Cloud's.
"Soon you will,"
he said.

 SLAM! The doors of the Seventh Heaven were pushed open with a little more force than usual. Jessie smiled happily as the familiar smell of the bar crept into her nose.
"Ah....It's good to see you again Tifa. You don't know how glad I am to be back," Jessie chuckled, dusting out some dirt from her short, brunette hair.
"Hmm? Where's Barret? Is he downstairs? Don't tell me he's sulking again...especially when I've brought oh-not-such-good-news," she sighed and took a seat at the counter.
"It's bad...the Turks went after us when me, Biggs, and Wedge were scoping out the Shinra Headquarters. Because of that we split..." Jessie began, sinking her head into the counter.
"I was almost caught by the new Turk recruit, but managed to slip away....I hope those two are alright....And they didn't even contact me, even though I built communication devices specifically for the team! How frustrating!" Jessie groaned.
"Sorry...can I have a Martini?"

"Of course I do, I always win," Cloud laughed, folding his hands over his chest and looking smug.
When Zack leaned close Cloud just stared at him. Zack had never been one for personal space boundries, but this was pushing it.
"Zack... you're a little close..."

 [It’s okay, I get writer’s block a lot too XD lol and yay! We have a Jessie!]
Tifa turned her head slightly to the side, her face still relatively hidden from his view and she nodded her head faintly in acknowledgement. “Yeah, sure thing.” Her lips curved upward into a smile, shifting her gaze to look back out the window as she idly listened to the pinball wannabe elevator start up, rumbling as it lowered Barret below the floorboards to the basement hideout. Once the sound came to a stop, she waited a few more beats to let the silence settle over the room before she finally tore her gaze away to turn back toward the bar.
Holding the plate while balancing the mug on it, Tifa smiled down at Marlene as she passed by, and then lifted the piece of wood out of the way before walking behind the bar. For the most part Marlene was content busying herself with her own devices, so Tifa felt no urge to interrupt the small span of comfortable silence and instead focused on cleaning, again. I all ended quickly enough though; all with a loud slam.
Tifa’s muscles tensed for the quick, split second of uncertainly, but as soon as she caught sight of that familiar smiling face, she relaxed. She fixed a small smile to her face, “I could say the same. I was just starting to wonder when you’d get back.” As Jessie dusted herself off, Tifa couldn’t help but glance behind the other woman, quickly searching for two other comrades.
“Huh?” She snapped her attention back to Jessie, and she nodded after a moment, her mind having to re-catch up. She cocked an eyebrow at the mention of not so good news, inwardly grimacing and she quickly moved the dirty dishes to the back counter, wiping her hands off on a rag. For the most part, she kept quiet as Jessie summed up the story and she sighed softly by the end of it, knowing this was the last thing they needed, especially Barret after that little moment he had earlier. “Don’t worry, it’s Biggs and Wedge. They know how to take care of themselves.” She put on a reassuring smile, musing that she was always playing the optimistic role but she couldn’t help it. “I’m sure they’re fine. A little slow, but fine.”
She nodded her head, even though Jessie was busy having a staring contest with the bar as she rested it there and Tifa turned to start wiping up a martini for her. “Have you tried contacting them recently? Maybe they’ll answer now.”

"Tch. It's because I always let you,"
Zack replied, looking quite smug himself.
Cloud mentioned their position, and he merely shrugged and then sat up, leaning his back against the side of the truck.
"Sorry,"
he winked.

Cloud sat up and leaned against the side opposite Zack, a little pink.
"You have a girlfriend, stop flirting you whore," Cloud teased.
He pulled his knees up and wrapped his arms around them, staring at the scenery going by. There was no way Zack was going to do what Cloud had thought he was. None. Zack had a girlfriend.
Cloud sighed. Tifa, had she survived the Reactor Incident, was probably never to be seen again.

"I can't help it,"
Zack pouted.
"It's just in my nature. Besides, you're just too cute,"
he teased, sticking out his tongue briefly.
"And I don't think Aeris will be very happy to see me, anyway,"
he laughed, though the thought of her perhaps not wanting to see him made his heart nearly break. He looked down at the floor, to hide the expression on his face, but soon lifted his head smiling as bright as usual, as the truck came to a sudden stop. Zack looked around in surprise.
"What the hell?! We aren't even in Midgar yet..."
Their driver informed them that they'd have to travel on foot the rest of the way from there on out. Zack sighed, obviously annoyed.

Cloud turned a bright shade of pink, but it was short lived. The pitiful look Zack got when he mentioned Aeris made any amusement or embarassment leave in a hurry.
When the truck stopped, Cloud climbed over the edge of the truck bed before Zack could try to help. A desprate attempt at independance that went horribly wrong.
Cloud lay spread-eagled, face down in the dirt, laughing despite himself.
"Totally meant to do that."
[[DAMN YOU. DAMN YOU TIFF. I HAD MY HOPES UP.]]

Zack laughed hysterically, after seeing Cloud face down in the dirt. He got up too, and jumped over the side of the truck as well, only he landed on his feet without falling. He walked over to Cloud, still laughing as he bent over the other, holding out his hand.
"Are you...... Okay?"
[[ > ; ) It's not that easy, my dear. ]]

Cloud took Zack's hand and stood up. He brushed off as much dust and dirt as he could, spitting some out.
"Ugh. It's in my hair."
[[And now Cloud has to go before there is carnage from my mom ;>>. THERE WILL BE A YAOI MOMENT. OH THERE WILL BE.]]

"Actually Tifa, I called them right before I entered the bar....my device gave this weird static sound....either mine is broken or theirs is...however, I'd vouch that theirs is damaged since I'd quickly solve whatever discrepancy there is. *Sighs* But you're right....I should have faith in them....it isn't the first time we had dangerous missions," Jessie sighed, lifting her head off the counter to watch Tifa mix up her drink.
"But...I can't help worry....it's like a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach...something I can't figure out...and it's saying that something is wrong," Jessie groaned, shaking her head side to side.
"What's odd is that they only sent one Turk to go after us....a new candidate on top of that. Why would they do something like that unless she was just a decoy used to split us up....What if Biggs and Wedge got caught by the other Turks?!" Jessie gasped, finally realizing the worst case scenario. She groaned once more, burying her head in the counter.
"Hey Tifa, don't mention this to Barret....He doesn't need something else to weigh him down," Jessie smiled weakly at the ruby-eyed martial artist.

 Tseng raised an eyebrow at Aerith in suprise when she said "try me".
He wasnt all that certain what to say.
What do I tell her? I cant lie to her, but I can't tell her the truth. She would hate me if I did either of those things.
An Idea poped into his head and he smirked.
"Alright Aerith," he said walking closer to her, "Well, most of it has been quite boring. Just a whole bunch of paperwork, really. But-" he tried to look serious when he said this, "Just a little bit ago, two dangerous men escaped from a "prison". It has been the job of my men and I to capture these men, however-" he frowned, "we failed. The two men are quite good."
He sighed and crossed his arms. He was doing quite well with his acting. It came in handy when you worked for Shinra.
"And now the President is punishing me for it. I supose it's no more than I deserve..."
It was so easy for him to play the pity card with her. She had a warm heart, and took the bait almost every time.

 Aerith stood up dusting herself off as he explained. Once he got to the part about the escape, she stifined and slowly brought her gaze back up to him.
"Oh, dont worry," she said in a voice almost overly sweet, "I'm sure you'll catch them someday."
She smirked and stepped away from him.
"Just like i'm sure some day you'll catch me. Either way, your not the type of person to care much how the job gets done, as long as it does get done. I am sure you'll find a way."
She ment it to sound reasuring but now that she had finished, she realized just how much it sounded like she was taunting him. She knew he was just trying to be kind to her just so she would trust him, however there was something inside of her that thaught of him as a friend. She was truly sorry that she sounded so mean. A deep blush colored her cheeks and she turned away from him pretending to pull out an especialy resistant weed.
"Err..." she stammered, desperately trying to make up for her rudeness, "Well anyways you must be very busy Tseng. I hope everything gets better for you."

Tseng narrowed his eyes when he heard her speak. it wasn't like her to taunt him like that, although it wasn't suprising. He wouldnt be too happy with himself either if he was in her shoes.
Still... she's usualy a bit less edgy.
A faint smile apperared on his pale lips when he saw the blush. She had turned away, but he had still managed a glimpse of it. He wondered what it would be like to make her blush like that everyday. Or to make her smile? Cry? Laugh?
She had such power over him, although she never quite realized it, and he had absolutely nothing but this moment when he had actualy caused her to blush. He didnt exactly say anything to embarass her, but he was still the cause of it and that made him feel happier than if he had just gotten promoted to Vice-president.
"Err... Well anyways you must be very busy Tseng. I hope everything gets better for you." Tseng grinned and turned away.
"Im sure it will get better, Aerith. Thank you."
He was feeling so happy at this moment. The only thing that could possibly ruin things for him was a certain escaped SOLDIER, by the name of Zack Fair.
Well, he shouldnt be a problem much longer. Everybody was out looking at this moment for them. For all he knew he could receive a call saying that they had finally taken care of the "problem".
His face fell back into it's normal cold expression as he made his way to the door.
"Take care of yourself, Aerith," he said almost coldly over the faint clicking noise of his expensive black shoes, "Take care, because today I was only checking up on you. The next time I intend to convince you Aerith. Next time you will finally agree to come with me."
He paused at the door and pulled out his wallet.
"Oh, Aerith, one more thing. I would also like to buy a flower. I think my office could use a bit more color."

Aerith's eyes narrowed as she watched him walk away.
He could be so cruel at times. She could hardly ever figure out what he was thinking. One moment he would be so kind, then the other he was threatening to take her away.
Work comes before friends for him, I supose...
"thank what ever you like," she whispered in a voice too quiet to be heard, "I will never allow myself to be caught by you."
She heard his foot steps get so quiet that she thaught he was gone, but then she heard his voice, alot softer this time asking her to sell him a flower.
"Oh?" she mummbled standing up, pulling a clean white lilly out of the ground as she did so, "A costomer, then? Very well."
She walked along the dirty rubble filled path to where Tseng was waiting for her neer the door.
"One flower it is. Enjoy."
She eyed his wallet and shook her head.
"No, no, this one is on me. I cant allow a friend to pay."
She held out the flower with a genuine smile.
"A gift."
