The North wind blew in all the smoke, cloaking the land in Shadows. Tifa looked around. "Meteor has been repelled... what's with the some?" She looked to Cloud who had been their leader throughout.

Cloud gave one of his usual shrugs and said, "Why ask me?" He turned around and walked off the Highwind's bridge. Tifa was about to call after him, but then stopped. No matter how much she loved him she knew he did not love her back. It was as if his heart was elsewhere. With who, Tifa had no clue of."

The smell of Cid's burning cigarette drifted by her and she looked at him. "Cid..." She asked, "Will you please drop me off at Junon, or maybe even Costa when you have a chance?" Tifa was tired of looking at the dead city of Midgar and she needed a job.

"Aye." Cid replied, "But what about Cloud? Where does he want to go?"

Tifa sighed. "He doesn't want me... I'm sure of that. I'll say good bye to him and that will be that."

"Oh, sorry Tifa. I saw how much you cared about that little twerp."

"That's ok Cid."

Just then Cait Sith came bounding onto the bridge, "I just came to tell you all goodbye." He explained. "Now, where's Cloud?"

"Cloud just left." Tifa told him. "I think he's down in his room or something."

"Oh. Well, you may do what you will with this toy body; I'm turning it off. I need to be with just my real body now... I'm still in Midgar and I have to deal with this."

Tifa hugged the plush toy body of Cait Sith. "Good luck."

"Thank you Tifa. And thank you everyone... It was a pleasure working with you. Please say thank you and goodbye to Cloud for me, ok?"

Tifa smiled. "Ok. See yah."

Cait powered down and became motionless. Red XIII sniffed the toy then looked back up at Tifa. "I suppose I should part company as well. I wish to be flown back home so I can defend it."

"I'll drop you all off after Tifa." Cid declared.

"Oh, oh..." Said Yuffie as she dropped down from the rafters in the midst of them, "I want to go with Red."

"That is fine with me." Red told her.

"Ok then. Cid clapped his hands together, "Yuffie and Red are going to Cosmo Canyon; Tifa is going to Junon. Who else is going where?"

"I'm going to Junon as well." Vincent declared. "I wish to take our sub to Lucrecia's cave."

"Take me to Kalm." Barret demanded, "That's where my daughter is."

"Got yah." Cid said. "Tifa and Vincent = Junon. Red and Yuffie = Cosmo Canyon. Barret = Kalm. Now, I just want to know where Cloud is going and we can be off."

Tifa shook her head. "Barret should be taken to Kalm then we try and disturb Cloud."

"Yeah. That sounds good to me." Cid walked over to his pilot. "Take us to Kalm kid, you know the drill."

The pilot nodded and set them on a course for Kalm. Tifa decided to slip up on deck, away from the others, in order to think. She wondered if there was anyone out there for her, since Cloud was not interested. That was the other thing she wondered, who had stolen Cloud's heart? Was it the late Aeris maybe? No... Tifa remembered Cloud did not express interest in either of them. It had started her wondering if maybe he was gay or something. That was it, Tifa decided, Cloud was gay and that was why he was not interested in her.

Still, Tifa wondered, was there some guy out there that had Cloud's heart? Who was it? Tifa sighed, wishing she knew. She saw the city of Kalm grow larger ahead of her. That's when she decided to confront Cloud about all of this. Straightening up she headed back down into the ship and walked past the departing Barret as she made he way to Cloud's room.

"Cloud?" She asked, gently rapping on the door, "Can I please talk to you?" When she heard no reply she grew concerned and gently pushed open the door. She blinked... Cloud was gone.
