Sephiroth's sister

by Angelfire

Epilogue

" I now pronounce you man and wife." the vicar said to Cloud and Tifa. All of Rocket Town had turned out for this momentous event. Most of the group was there as well, except Reeve and the Turks, who had to go back to Midgar to finish the rebuilding. Everyone cheered at these words and Aeris, holding the train of Tifa’s wedding dress, smiled. A thread of the Lifestream rose up between them. "That is a sign from the planet." Cloud explained to the astonished spectators. "The planet blesses us."

Walking outside the church they saw a burst of multicoloured fireworks explode.

"Angel, I think you are carrying this a bit too far." Sephiroth admonished his sister.

"What me?" she replied mischievously bursting into laughter at his stern expression. "This is just a happy day, I want people to remember it, it is our brother getting married after all."

"I think they will." Red said wandering over to them. "What are you two going to do next?"

"What about you Angel?" Red asked. "Everyone else has a home to go to, and I don‚t think that you want to stay in Midgar."

"I don’t." Angel replied. "But I haven’t got a clue where to go."

Yuffie overhearing the conversation walked over. "You can come to live at Wutai." she said. "We need people to help out with our version of rebuilding."

"No thanks Yuffie, I don’t want to live in large towns. I will give it some thought." Angel walked away.

"What’s up with her?" Cid asked walking over.

"She does not have anywhere to go." Red replied.

"She will find somewhere, count on it." Cid said walking over to the new couple. " Congratulations, it took you long enough, didn’t it?"

"Get lost Cid." Tifa said taking a swipe at him. "I don’t see you and Shera getting married yet."

Cid turned red and walked away cursing about loud-mouthed youngsters as Barret came up to congratulate them with his daughter Marlene. "About time." he grumbled.

"Tifa!" Angel said coming over. "How is my sister-in-law?"

"Huh?" Tifa said in confusion. Cloud hid a smile.

"Tifa, Cloud is my brother, so that technically makes you my sister-in-law." Angel replied. Tifa laughed getting the point.

"Hey, what ya doin’ standin around." Barret said. "Let’s party!"

*************

Later that evening Angel was sitting outside Rocket Town watching the stars. Vincent who had seen her leave the party, walked up behind her.

"Hello Vincent." Angel said without turning round. "What’s up?"

"Why did you leave the celebration?" Vincent asked.

"I need time to think about what I am going to do next." she replied. "Everyone has somewhere to go, but I don’t."

"You are welcome in any town." Vincent said misunderstanding.

"It’s not that. I just don’t have a purpose." She said turning to face him. "Red has responsibilities to Cosmo Canyon, Barret has Marlene, Seph is helping Reeve rebuild Midgar."

* Why don‚t you go to the Ancient city and rebuild it into a centre of learning * Angel and Vincent heard the planet say.

"The planet is right, Angel. If more people learnt about the Ancients and their ways, then maybe the planet will not be abused in the future. Cosmo Canyon can only hold so much information." Vincent said to her.

"I’ll think about it." Angel said thoughtfully.

*************

The next day Cloud, Tifa and Angel were standing outside of Rocket Town, most of the rest of their friends had set off earlier that day.

"You won’t change your mind?" Cloud asked. Angel shook her head. "No, I am going to restore the Ancient City for scholars to visit and learn about the Ancients." she answered.

"Well you will come to visit us?" Tifa inquired.

"Of course. Someone has to help Seph train Cloud." Angel said, smirking as Cloud looked daggers at her.

She got onto the chocobo that Cloud had given her and rode away. Watching her leave Tifa sighed. "She is so different from you and Sephiroth."

Cloud looked at Tifa. "Who cares? We have more important things to do." he said taking her hand and walking back into town.

The end, for now!
