a locked heart // dream 002
Warnings: None? A bit of sappiness
Effects: Lots of sighing.
[The field in front of her is clear, with Cloud standing behind her. Behind them a bit is the Highwind, Cid's airship.]
Everyone's gone...
Yeah, we don't have anywhere or anyone to go home to.
[Tifa looked down.] You're right...
[She rubbed the back of her neck, smiling more for herself than him.] But... I'm sure someday... they'll come back, don't you think?
[Cloud crossed his arms over his chest.] Hmm... I wonder... [He shook his head, musing.] Everyone has something irreplaceable they're holding on to. But this time, our opponent...
[Tifa nodded her head.] Hmm... But that's all right, if no one comes back. As long as we're together. With you by my side, I'll never give up no matter how bad it gets.
[Cloud turned to face her, shock in his tone of voice.] ... Tifa...
[Her hands clasped behind her back.] No matter how close we are now... We were far apart before. But when we were in the Lifestream surrounded by all those screams of anguish, I thought I heard your voice...
[Tifa felt the tears starting to form in her eyes. She sniffed.] ...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 turned away from her, looking down.] Yeah... I heard you calling me. You were calling me back from the consciousness in the Lifestream. After all, I promise that if anything ever happened to you, I'd come to help.
[Tifa looked upwards, towards the sky.] Cloud...? Do you think the stars can hear us? Do you think they see how hard we're fighting for them?
I dunno... But... whether they can or not, we still have to do what we can. And believe in ourselves. Someday we'll find the answer. Right, Tifa? That's what I learned from you when I was in the Lifestream.
[Tifa nodded.] Yes... that's right...
Hey, Tifa... I... There were so many things I wanted to say to you... but now that we're together like this, I don't know what to say. I guess nothing's changed at all... Funny, isn't it?
[She shook her head.] Cloud... Words aren't the only thing that tell people what you're thinking...
[The dream fades as Tifa wakes up. She rubes her eyes for a moment before she notices the Dreamberry on. Why couldn't it record any happy dreams? She sighs, reaching over to turn it off.]
