Late that night, after Tifa's shift, Cloud sat depressed at the bar
with a half empty glass of hard liquor. Barret after cooling down from
their earlier encounter decided to see what was troubling his young
spiky haired friend.

"Was' wrong man you've been here mopin' around `ere since Tifa left."

"It's nothin' Barret I'm jus' fine."

"Uh huh yeah an' I'm Sephiroth's gramma. Tell me."

Cloud sat silently for a while. " Something is bugging me about Tifa's
beau Mason"

"Eh, he ain't that bad. In fact I ain't ever seen Tifa so happy."

"He seems nice but I jus' wanna kill him everytime I see him with
her."

"Oh... I see it now. Y'all got a think fer Tifa." Barret said.

"WHAT?! No. No I jus' like her as a friend." Cloud pushed off his seat
disturbing the other customers.

"Calm down son. Don't gotta go killin' that stool cause ya ain't able
to realize your true fellin's. You gotta tell `er `for it's to late."

Cloud stood silently and he stared blankly at Barret, "Alright."
Quickly, Cloud dashed off toward Tifa's home. `Tifa, um I've loved you
since we were kids... No too lame... I hate to bring this up again but
uh ya know a year ago how I said Aeris was my only one for me ... yeah
well I was wrong your the only one for me. That's the one Cloud
thought as he reached Tifa's house. He peered in the window to see if
she was home. She was and so was Mason. He was on his knees holding a
black velvet box out to Tifa, who was crying and nodding happily. Tifa
threw her arms around him as Cloud eyes began to fill with rage and
sadness. He sprinted out toward the outside of the city. Barret stood
in the middle of the street waiting to see if Tifa rejected him or
not. Cloud ran harder and faster.

"What's wrong. Did she reject ya?" asked Barret cluelessly.

"Get outta my way." Cloud said repressing his rage.

"Not till ya tell me what happened." demanded Barret

"... GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY." Cloud cried with fury and ran passed
Barret and out of the entire city. Crying he climbed into his
"borrowed" plane and heads back to Costa Del Sol.

Tifa came up to Barret who watched as Cloud ran off into the darkness.

"Where's he going so fast?" she inquired.

"He just got rejected by a bar maid." Barret muttered just enough for
her to hear and walk off to the bar. Tifa watch in surprise as Clouds
plane navigated over her head.
