HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY TIFA!

Characters: Everyone who wants to celebrate Tifa's (late) birthday!
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: It's late, but there's a party for her, since she missed her birthday.
Location: Strife-Lockhart Household, LUCA.
Date: 28th May 1804
Warnings: Shenanigans!


It had been difficult to distract Tifa all day. He couldn't talk, so conversations were entirely out of the question, and he was absolutely exhausted, considering he'd arrived home early morning and hadn't slept since two nights previous. Still, he'd achieved his difficult mission for the day and was headed back with her to their house.

The lights were out, as they should be with children in bed, but within the house were guests, all hiding in the dark. It was easy to make a text to Marlene to tell them to hide and turn the lights off.

Opening the door, Cloud flicked the lights on to a room full of guests springing up and shouting "SURPRISE!!"

With the party in full swing, a cake was made and decorations were put up by the children. Music was playing and there was a kitchen full of alcohol for the adults along with juice and snacks. Everything had been put together with effort and care, by a family that really did adore their mother figure.

A table stacked high with gifts, from everyone excluding Cloud, was against one wall and there were more coming with the guests that arrived later.

Now everything was done, Cloud sat himself at the dining table with a glass of amber coloured alcohol, out of the way of much of the noise, and soon fell asleep on his arms on the table. It had been a long day getting everything ready for Tifa.

PARTYING, BABY

Since Yuffie couldn't be there either, Tifa's going to get another phone call.

Which means Tifa had to scoot off again - into her bedroom this time.

"Hello?"

PARTYING, BABY

Sorry, Tifa, but cue Yuffie singing... horribly.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to the coolest bartender and kick ass girl around, happy birthday to you!"

PARTYING, BABY

Oh, man. Well, it's the thought that counts. Smiling to herself, Tifa held the phone away from her ear so she didn't get the full blast of Yuffie's dulcet tones.

"Thank you!" she said when Yuffie had finished. "How's the greatest ninja in Gaia doing?"

PARTYING, BABY

"You're welcome! Sorry I couldn't be there in person."

Thankfully, she wasn't going to sing anymore. "Things are going great! Things in Wutai are going smoothly too... well, as smoothly as they can get, anyways."

PARTYING, BABY

"Really?" Tifa was somewhat surprised, but glad to hear it. "So you and Sephiroth are getting on well?"

PARTYING, BABY

"Um... we're not trying to kill each other?" She laughed. Working with Sephiroth was an experience in and of itself. "He's... not that bad. I'm still really wary to trust him, though."

Tifa shuddered. "I know I would be." No matter how trustworthy Sephiroth proved himself to be, she couldn't halt her gut reaction of fear and hate. For her, he was a symbol of everything bad in the world. "How does that work? Do you share the responsibility?"
