She had finally managed to get away from Junon,knowing Cloud would be alright hopefully she still worried.After leaving that mess behind she had travelled back to the one place where she could feel at home,the chapel and there through the doors we're the flowers still growing in the middle of the floor.
As Aerith walked along the creaky old boards,her footsteps stopped at the base of the flowers.Kneeling down she gently felt the velvet of the petals,with all the chaos going on with the black materia she was surprised this place was still intact.A drop of water fell from the ceiling,creating a ripple effect in the water below surrounding the flowers.
"Zack can you hear me,please come".
This was where she first met Zack long ago,when he was but a soldier and her just a flower girl.She had begged him not to fight in the war,but it was his duty and he left her never to return.He was her first love,it's probably why they feel such a strong connection.
"Return to our place,where we first met.....remember".
Another drop of water came to land on a flower,it echo ringing out through the chapel.

It had been only a few days since his departure of the Holy lake however it felt like a lifetime, He had managed to find a weponsmith to recraft his old weapon however rather than show it of it was placed on his back wrapped in bandages just to keep this his own secret as well as keeping something else secret within his Matiria socket.
He had arrived at the chapel a few days ago making this a makeshift home seemed to be a good idea thinking no one really came here was now a wrong thought, He watched as Aerith Made her way to the flowers as she asked him to return he rumbaed the day he left and his unfulfilled promise that he had mad to her Truth be told he wasn't going to meet her at all he didn't feel that is was right after all this time just to come waltzing back into her life, Which was his main reason at keeping himself away from people he knew and loved as his mind wandered though his own past the small echo awoke him from his daydream as he stared at Arith high above her he looked down upon her from one of the many ruined Support beams, Zack shock his head as realization kicked in he had to keep his promise if not for himself then for her. He stayed where he was looking down still upon her.
"Aerith........... it has been a while hasn't it, What are you wanting with me"
It was cold it was flat it was even unloving and uncaring it wasn't like Zack at all it was all an act plain and simple to show his weakness would to endanger it and he could never have that, if he didn't care for anyone then no one could be used as a weapon against him.

"So then you have returned,i'm happy".
Aerith shivered at his harsh and cold voice,he would never act that way to her.She slowly raised her head,as her eyes met with his above.He was hiding something,that much she could sense from Zack.He was never good at hiding things from her,that was one of his weaknessess.
"Zack....i've missed you so much,is that all you can say to me".
She quickly snapped her gaze away from him,her lips trembled abit.Aerith had come back here to find him,to search for him and wonder why he was so distant.Didn't he love her anymore,didn't she mean anything to him at least a shred of kindness.
"I know you have the white materia,please....tell me why your so cold towards me.I have searched all over to find you,I even faced Sephiroth".

"I Indeed have the white matiria and it is best i dont say to much to you. And you faced seipinoth as well then how did you survive?"
Even though he had try to hide it there was a worried tone in his voice and he knew it as well, And he bean to try and shift the conversation away from himself.
Tell me how is cloud Aeirth you semd so close in the golden saucer im happy for both of you, i know i should have shown up but you two seemd to be chattering alot i thought it would be for the best if i left and trained a little more while getting the white matitia.

"I have no fear of Sephiroth,please give what my mother left me back".
She stood and once again looked up to Zack,was he still jealous of Cloud.When would he understand that he was her first love,they had both been through so much.If Aerith had the white materia,then she and Zack could use it against the black materia.
"Cloud has turned for the worst,Rufus has taken him.....I only want your aid".

"So Rufus has cloud then, well thats bad, And you, you only want my......my Aid."
As Zack said the last of those words he looked away from Aerith as he closed his eyes he felt a small twinge within himself yet he failed to acknowledge it, He slowly opened his eyes and looked back at Aerith as he rose to his feet.
"OK you ask of my help and i will help you as you ask Aeith"
He jumped from the beam above landing softly on the ground missing the flowers, He pulled out a small chain that was around his neck and tossed it to aerith.
"The Matiria is within the pendent hidden from those who truly seek it for there own means , Just well just be careful Aerith.

Aerith caught it in her delicate hands,holding it close to her for a few momments.She ran over to him and hugged him,her arms around his waist.She always knew he could never refuse her,and the same old Zack always worrying for her safety.
"You know I will be safe,please just don't waste you second chance at life Zack".
Aerith held onto him tight,afraid to let go thinking if she did then she would lose him again and for good.She would keep the materia safe,just as she did when she had it before.This was a gift from her mother,and if it can be used to stop Sephiroth and his remnants so be it.
"I've missed you so,I love you Zack".

Zack was caught suprised by the embrace but was overjoyed when it happend, Same old Aerith always knew who he was no matter how much he hid it.
"Dont waste my second chance i didnt eve waste my first i met you and that was more than enoutgh for me in the end i got my dream, I became a hero..... a forgotten one but still a hero none the less"
As he and Aerith embaced he felt her tighting her grip he remberd this sensation even though it happend many years ago it seemd as if he had been shifted back to the last time he was with her.
"I'm sorry for the wait but i made it in the end, i kept my promise to you Aerith note becase thats who i am, Becase for the first time, trul the first time in my existence iknow what true love is but i am afraid now isnt the time tohold each other if Rufus has him we must try to find out what is going on."

"I know i'm sorry,Sephiroth told me he had encountered you.I had met him at Junon,Kadaj was there as well and Cloud was a mess".
Aerith released herself from Zack,he was right this was not the time to hold eachother and whisper about the past.They needed to find out the true purpose for Rufus taking Cloud,and the other reason for why the remnant so badly wanted the black materia shards.Could it be he wanted to stand up to Sephiroth,prove he was not a mere puppet no more.
"Kadaj has one of the black materia shards,he ripped it from Cloud.I felt so helpless just watching,and I left Junon to come here to find you.....".

"You came to find me though all that chaos, And bloodshed yet Aerith i have to leave you again i know we need to find could but i trust you are strong enoutgh to find him, My Main concern is Kadaj if he has the black matiria then he is a threat, i belive even if he has a differnt path from seipinoth he will still use the shard for his own gain."
Zack moved closer to Aerith hugging her softly and gently kissed her on the forhead, Before letting go.
"Aerith im sorry but can you check out Rufus while i try to track down Kadaj, i know i am asking alot from you, And i have just met back up with you, but i promise we will meet again and sooner than last time."

"Your always leaving me Zack,but i'm used to it by now".
There he went with the promises again,wasn't it not so long ago he said the same thing and never returned.He had died and left her alone to weep over his death,no she had to trust in him to doubt him or even her heart would only make her feel hate and neglect.
"I'll go talk to Rufus and please be careful,I can't take you from the lifestream again Zack".
Her powers could only be stretched so thin,it was already bad enough she let Sephiroth escape from there and his remnants.If she lost Zack again it would only bring her more heartache,she only hoped when he did find Kadaj the black shard hasn't made him insane.
"I'll be waiting......here,if you need to find me this is our special spot".
