____________The Final Fantasy Wedding___________
                           
                   By Jen V. ( Aeris or Shampoo)
   Aeris was walking thru her flower garden.
Cloud came by and asked her for a date. Aeris, of corse,
was always glad to find out that the man of her dreams
actually cared for her. Even though she swore to herself
she promised she wouldn't tell Cloud her true feelings,
she accepted the date anyway. He told her he would pick
her up at 7:00 pm. As soon as he left Aeris made sure
he was out of sight and began to sigh lovingly. She would
now get even with Tifa Lockhart, the selfish-hearted but
beautiful 20 year old girl who lived in Aeris and Cloud's
town. Cloud would always ask Tifa on a date, and she would always gladly acept
to go, leaving Aeris alone in
her garden. Whenever those days came, Aeris would be as
heartbroken as a women being turned down for a date, which was what happened. 
                    As he promised, Cloud arrived at 7:oo. Aeris
was wearing a beautiful white lace dress. Cloud escorted
her to his rented limo, and on the way Aeris kept sighing
with happiness. She was thinking of Cloud holding her hand and rejecting Tifa
and asking Aeris to marry her.
Of corse, that would only happen in Aeris's dreams, when
Cloud would dance with her at the ball, for hours and hours, just staring into
into eachother's faces and whispering " I love you, I love you . " Still,
Aeris knew better that she would probably never marry her, and prob-
ably marry snobbish, nasty, Tifa Lockhart. 
                       They arrived at the dance floor and ate and
had a great time. Everyone stared as Cloud and Aeris 
danced around the ballroom. Aeris buried her head into
Cloud's. Then the perfect day finally came to an end. It
was 11:30. Cloud and Aeris drove home.
                       As soon as they reached Aeris's house, Cloud walked
Aeris to the front door. Aeris finally said,
" I just had the most memorable time of my life",and she
grasped his hand tightly. 
                  " Me too," said Cloud, staring into Aeris's pret-
ty green eyes with a smile. " We should go again sometime."
                    As soon as he said this, Aeris's glossy green
eyes turned wide with surprize. " You mean it? You really
mean that?" And she let out a sigh of joy.                    
                       * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 
          But, even though Aeris was thinking great thoughts
about her and Cloud marrying, terrible news broke out to
her. Cloud asked Tifa for her hand in marriege!  As soon
as she heard this she was heartbroken, but then she thought it may be just a
rumor.              But her luck just wore out. The next day in the 
paper it said:             CLOUD STRIFE AND TIFA LOCKHART MARRIED              
            Aeris dropped the paper and broke out in tears.
Now it was too late for her to marry Cloud. She sat in her
room sobbing for hours, then she finally gave up hope.
           The next day Aeris walked up to Cloud and asked
him if his wedding went good, trying to hide her rage. He
replied, " It was exellent! I'll never forget that day. Tifa 
is so sweet, don't you think?"
                  Aeris stormed out sight, wishing she'd never
bothered to ask. Now things just got worse, real worse.
     " Hey, Aeris! Where are you going?" Cloud asked,
chasing after her trying to catch his breath. " Aeris!"
       Aeris stopped, hoping he would say, " I still love you". 
           " Aeris, why did you just run off like that?"
            " I'm sorry Cloud, I'm just angrey".              " About what?"
              " None of your business, you two-timer".
             " Excuse me miss prissy I was only trying to help!
              " Trying to help?"       They both paused, then Cloud said:
" I know why you're angrey. It's because I marryed Tifa,right? "  
           Aeris glared at him.
" Yes, it was. Look, I know you're disappionted, but I love
Tifa now, so there's nothing you can do to change it."
     Aeris listened, holding back tears.
 " Oh, and just stay out of our way, okay? I don't want any
amatuers bugging me, alright? "
    Aeris thought over those words, and then burst out intears.
            " Cloud, you Dummy! That wasn't nice at all! "
           With that, she turned and ran away.
" Wait, Aeris!" Cloud screamed down to her.
  " I'm going home! "Aeris sobbed, stiil running.
