Aerith's Return
Prolouge

Tifa stood across the church, staring in disbelief at the young woman on the other end. The other woman wore a lonk, pink dress with a darker pink cardigan and a pair of brown boots. Her long brown hair flowed lightly in the cool, summer wind. The pink ribbon that was tied to the bottom of her hair flowed as well. She stared back at Tifa, a light smile on her face. In her left hand, she held a white lilly. Slowly, she made her towards Tifa.
"Tifa. It's been.... A long time," she spoke in sing song voice. Tifa didn't blink, she couldn't speak. She can't be here. She can't be here. Her heart was racing. Tifa gulped and answered," Yes, it has." Tifa was still in shock. The woman stopped a foot away from Tifa. She handed her the lily, her smile growing two inches wider. Tifa wasn't sure if she should except it. Being polite, she did with a shaky hand. She smiled crookedly.
"Aerith... are you... really here?" Tifa asked warily, gently sliding her pinkie over the lily. Aerith laughed lightly. "Of course I'm here, silly. You're talking to me aren't you?" Tifa didn't know how to answer that. Because you're a ghost? Maybe I'm just dreaming? Maybe I died and now I'm in the Lifestream, talking to you? Tifa pinched her arm. "Ouch." No, she wasn't dreaming. She did a quick check of her body. No visible wounds. Then she stared at Aerith. She wasn't see-through or pale like a ghost, she had color to her skin and warmth in her smile. Her emerald eyes twinkling in the light. She's no ghost, that's for sure.
"I know what you're thinking, Tifa. 'No, I can't be here.' 'I'm a ghost, this is a dream.' But, I'm here. I'm not a ghost." Aerith said. Tifa glanced away, embarassed by her thoughts. Then she averted her eyes back Aerith.
"But you died, Aerith! We saw you... Cloud did...," Aerith sighed at Cloud's name," How did you come back?" Tifa asked. Aerith took a deep breath and said," I know I died. I'll always remember that. I remember going into the Lifestream, merging with it. Then... well, I don't quite remember what happened after that. All I can remember is white lights, a man's voice, and something else, but I can't put my finger on it," Aerith put a her hand under her chin, lost in thought. Tifa waited patiently, the shock and surprise slowly leaving her body.
"Oh! I remember now!" Aerith suddenly explained.
"Remember what?"
"What the man said to me before I... came back. He said that I'm coming back for a reason. He didn't tell me the reason.... Or,y'know, maybe he did. But I just can't remember. All I know is that I'm here for a special kind of reason." Aerith explained. She knows she died... She's come back for a reason. Oh, this is too much. Tifa suddenly felt lightheaded. Then she slumped to the floor. Aerith gasped in surprise.
"Tifa! Oh, dear...." Aerith knealed beside the girl. Then she felt a drop of water land on her nose. Aerith looked up just to have another drop of water hit her. Then a whole shower of water came down on the two women. She slowly bent her head down.
"Rain?"
"Tifa. It's been.... A long time," she spoke in sing song voice. Tifa didn't blink, she couldn't speak. She can't be here. She can't be here. Her heart was racing.

"Yunie! C'mon, show's bout to start!" Rikku rapped on the girl's door.
"Okay, okay! Just hold on," Yuna replied. She quickly fixed her hair and ran out the door. Rikku waited by the door. She smiled at Yuna and grabbed her hand.
"Let's go!" she said, half-running and half dragging Yuna to the stage. Yuna went along. As they neared the stage area, Yuna could hear the roar of the crowd. They were screaming her name, begging her to come out faster. She smiled at the sound of them. Music to her ears. Her footsteps echoed through the halls. Then she came up to a large, wide space. It was shaped like a circle. Yuna and Rikku got on.
"Up we go! Ready, Yunie?" The fifteen year old asked. Yuna nodded. "Yes." Her heart was pounding. She could feel the rush going up and down her body. She was excited. Whiled they went up, the crowds cheers grew louder and louder. Then they reached the top and the crowd was really loud. Yuna stared at all of them with complete awe. Rikku reached into the air and a microphone appeared in her hand.
"Good evening, Ladies and gents! How are you all tonight?"
"Good!" the crowd chorused.
"Are you ready?"
"Yes!
"I can't hear you!"
"YES!"
"SCREAM IT!"
"YES!" Rikku giggled into the microphone, then she handed it to Yuna. She winked at her, then jumped off the stage into the crowd of people. Yuna smiled at the audience as the music started up. She spun around and moved her feet to the beat. Swirls of light encircled her and she changed into her other oufit. Then she started to sing.
