Cloud was happy today. He had the whole day planned for their very first date. He was going to take Tifa to the Golden Saucer. The place for dates...He woke up and started to get ready. As soon as he walked out of the bath room he was fresh and clean....He wanted every thing perfect. Even himself. He knew this would probably be the last day they had together as a couple before they would have to go into battle with the Darkness. Cloud was still struggling with the darkness inside him......But, he would make that a note to not get out of control.
Cloud walked down to the bar. And smiled as he smelled fresh flowers in the window sills....And soon his nose caught the smell of fresh brew of coffee....He knew Tifa knew what he liked. He walked into the kitchen and grabbed a cup and grabbed a cup and poured a cup of coffee. He sat down in the couch in the living room and watched a bit of TV to wait for Tifa.....

Today was the day finally..... Tifa couldn't believe that it was finally. Just the thought of going on a date with Cloud made her nervous everythime she thought about it. She was up early that day. Actually she couldn't really sleep. being this excited and nervous at the same time she just couldn't think straight. but what always calmed her down was working.
"There has to be something to do around here...." She said getting out of bed to clean the bar but she already finished all her chores last night. "Hmm......"she turned to the kitchen then and started cooking breakfast. Everyone would be up in a few hours even Denzel and Marlene so starting early sounded like a good idea especially when she had nothing else to do.
Tifa cooked and prepared the table and then cleaned the place up she even prepared Cloud some coffee knowing he liked that before hurrying up back to her room to get ready. She took a shower to, dried her hair then walked into her room to find what to wear. Tifa stood there for several minutes looking at her clothes wondering what to pick for her first date. Should she wear what she always did or something new? "I wish Aerith was here....."
Tifa really needed a second opinion but no this time she was on her own. She sighed looking at the pile of clothes laying on the bed. Thats when it caught her eyes. Her blue dress. Tifa only wore that once when Cloud tried to rescue her when she was taken in to one of the houses in the slums. She smiled at that memory. That was also the first day she got a complement from Cloud telling her she looked great. "Guess I found my dress" She said with a smile returning things back to their places before putting the dress on. An hour later and she was done finally.
She opened her door and walked down the stairs. "Cloud I am sorry I kept you waiting" Tifa said as a smile formed on her lips when she saw him.

That coffee was the best he ever had. How did Tifa seem to do every thing right was his question. But he would not question her on her own abilities.....He would just wonder about them.
"Cloud I am sorry I kept you waiting"
Cloud smiled at the sound of her voice. He placed the coffee cup down on the coffee table...And looked up at Tifa. But when he looked up he started from her feet up....Wow! She looked amazing!!
"Wow!! You look great!" He replied as he looked her in her eyes. He was just wow....He then remembered the dress. He rescued her...."Hm. I remember now....Are you trying to get me worked up quick?"

"I was just trying to find something you would like....." Tifa explained blushing at his complement. Looking down at her dress she couldn't help but smile. "This dress sure brings back memories...." That was the day she was kidnapped, well she allowed herself to be so she could find Don Corneo and get information from him regarding Shinra.
That was the night she first met Aerith, and started having doubts but then Cloud told her he came in to save her. He even went through the trouble of finding a dress to get in and at the end of the day he told her how great she looked in her dress. One main reason why she chose to wear it.
"You look pretty hansom yourself" She returned the complement with one of her own. "Um..... so are you ready?" She asked taking one step closer to the couch he was on and stood there beaming as she looked down at him. She was still nervous as she wanted everything to go perfect today.
This was Tifa's first date, and the first one she said yes to go out on. She has been asked alot but never agreed to go with anyone...... She was always waiting for him to ask the question but he never did in the past and so in the end she just gave up when he ran away again.
She turned to look at the door waiting for someone. "Barret should be here soon...... I asked him to come and look after the kids tonight and I also closed this bar for the day but..... the costumers were very angry that I did." She explained sighing as she sat down next to him.

"Um..... so are you ready?" "Barret should be here soon...... I asked him to come and look after the kids tonight and I also closed this bar for the day but..... the costumers were very angry that I did." "Well, they're gonna have to over it...And Barret huh? Cool...So yeah, okay...we can go....." Cloud smiled again. He was a bit nervous as you could see. He was slipping through words. This was after all his first date....And not just any date....A date with Tifa Lockhart. He could see some of his friends now...He could see Zack's face....Light up with pure happiness he would probably brag on Cloud forever about it......Some thing else bothered him as they walked out.....He looked up at the sky and was just lost in thought a bit....No matter where he went, the Darkness was following him.....

"I guess...... I will make it up to them tomorrow but today, its all about us." She added as a smile soon formed on her lips. Today would be worth everything and everyday she spent waiting for this to come. It was like a dream that finally came true and she couldn't stop smiling every time she turned to face Cloud. Tifa didn't expect any trouble today so she even left her gloves behind on the table.
There was a knock on the door and she hurried to answer it. "Hey Barret come in. The kids are playing up in their rooms and here are the keys to the place..... thanks again for agreeing to come here."
Tifa then turned to Cloud and grabbed his hand as they both walked out of the bar. She shivered under the night sky but she didn't mind and continued walking till they were near the train station and took out two ticked. "I know you wanted to drive your bike to Golden Saucer, but taking the train would be alot faster and it would give you a chance to relax today" Tifa said leaning up for a quick kiss. "I am not the only one who is taking the day off." She added before walking into the train with him.

Yes it would be relaxing on his part....."You are amazing!" He kissed her cheek..... "I am not the only one who is taking the day off." He grabbed her hand in his as they both walked to the train station. All darkness seemed to cease in his heart at this moment....She was really making life better for him....He had a surprise for her too when they got there. But she would have to wait and see the surprise later on into the night....He wrapped his strong around her as they bought two train tickets.....And now they were ready to go.

"I am?" Tifa asked letting out a small chuckle followed by a blush as she held his hand and both boarded the train. It took them only a few hours till they arrived and she hurried out of the train to glace around. "What should we do first?" She asked with a tone of excitement in her voice. Of course this was something she should be excited about after all it was her first date and finally she was with the one she wanted to be with.

"What should we do first?" "Well, first we have to buy tickest...Um...Hold on a sec K..." He rushed over to the nearest Ticket Booth and bought about 40 tickets that were able to be used with all exhibits....."Okay that's done....There is some thing I think every couple should do as they come here....Ride the love tunnel....." He grabbed her hand led her to the exhibit. And gave the man two tickets.....Soon they were ready to get in one boat....That was shaped like a heart....Romantic music was playing as well.....Maybe they could get a nice kiss out of this....

"Love tunnel huh…..? Sounds like fun alright" Tifa said taking his hand as they made their way to the boat and they both climbed in. "This is nice" She said sitting next to him and rested her head on his shoulder and looked ahead as they neared the tunnel. She closed her eyes for a few seconds listening to the music as it played and still held his hand.
Slowly after a few minutes, Tifa opened her eyes and turned to look at Cloud tilting her head to the side as their boat entered the tunnel. It was dark but somehow she could still see him clearly. She gazed deep into his mako blue eyes and never let go of his hand.

"This is nice"
"I knew you would like it. Ya know I've been thinking...Maybe I need a new wardrobe....What do you think?" He asked as he looked down at his Ex-Solder uniform he was wearing...Why would he even wear this when he never even made Solider? Well, Rufus pointed out you are ex-soldier aren't you? And Cloud simple response for that was in my head....
He then casted his eyes down at her hand that was safely tucked inside his.....And gripped a bit tighter as he lifted her hand upwards to his lips and gave her a kiss on the hand....

"Hm?" Tifa looked at Cloud as she tried to guess why. "Well I don't see anything wrong with the clothes you are wearing, but let me guess is it because most of them are soldier uniforms?" She asked with her smile still spread across her face.
If she had to guess it would be because he never made it into soldier, or maybe it was because what she said a few years ago that she hated soldier and Shinra. But that was all in the past now."These clothes look good on you, but then again I think anything looks good on you" She added still smiling as she looked at Cloud and leaned closer for a kiss.

Cloud blushed yet again! How many times she made him blush he was losing count now. "Tifa. I have to ask you some thing. It's kinda hard on me for me to ask you this but...Back then, when you said you hated all Soldiers because one of them killed your father....Did you mean me as well...." He looked down again at her hand in his...

She chuckled at that "Your teasing me again Cloud but.... yeah I do think that" Tifa admitted and looked down as she too blushed. Things were alot easier for her now and she didn't feel that she had to hide anything anymore from Cloud. At his question she looked at Cloud.
How could he think that she hated him? What she said back then, she didn't mean it any of it not to Cloud or Zack but how can he think that she hated him now. "If I did then I wouldn't be here with you now right? This is about what I said before,"She let out a sigh before continuing "I didn't mean it..... any of it. Sure I hate Shinra and Sephiroth but I can never hate you or Zack. You two never did anything wrong and I regret saying what I did back then...... I am sorry."

"If I did then I wouldn't be here with you now right? This is about what I said before," OK she had a point there...Cloud sighed....
"I didn't mean it..... any of it. Sure I hate Shinra and Sephiroth but I can never hate you or Zack. You two never did anything wrong and I regret saying what I did back then...... I am sorry." Cloud then rested his head on her shoulder...."I'm glad we got that straightened out....One more question for you though...Will you kiss me....?" He wanted her to kiss him...So far all the kisses had come from him. He so far as not gotten one from her. He played with her fingers with his own...As he looked down still reasting his head on her shoulder....She would understand too why he asked this....
