Tifa, Cloud, Barret, Yuffie, Red XIII, Cid, Cait Seith and Vincent have set off towards Costa Del Sol. They were on a cargo boat and it was taking them quite awhile to arrive at their destination. At some point the weather got really bad and it was pouring down heavily, causing the waves of the sea to get more wild. The whole boat was shaking and swaying from one side to another, causing everyone to trip and fall on the deck. And suddenly the boat has overcome such a huge wave, the boat suddenly leaning to the side so much, making Cloud accidentally fall over and into the sea. Everyone immidiately panicked

Yuffie: "CLOUD!!" The ninja girl yelled as she immidiately looked down into the water

Barret: "DAMMIT! SOMEBODY CALL HELP!" Barret yelled in his deep, gruff voice.

Everyone was anxious now, doing everything they can in their power to find him. But nothing.

...Cloud's body was sinking down into the sea, and as much as he tried to get himself onto the surface there was no use. The storm was too strong. He was starting to give up, and he felt his vision going black as he held onto the last bits of oxygen in his lungs. He didnt even feel it but something grabbed him, as if carrying him somewhere trough the water...

Cloud's body hit the shore as you carried him to there, laying his motionless body in the sand. Your mermaid tail was resting in the sand, pinkish and delicate. You observed the spiky-haired blonde that layed under you. To think you were finally this close to a real human.. And yet you were intimidated. Your soft green eyes looked down at him, observing. You reached down to caress his cheek, but just as you did you noticed he started waking up, his eyes opening just a bit. You flinched and quickly backed away. You can't be seen by a human. The sacred rule of the merfolk. You quickly went back into the water and hid behind a rock nearby.

Cloud sat up and coughed slightly, looking around him "Dammit.." he didnt know where he was but... He was sure he saw a woman just now..
