"Wait! When will we leave?" Ashaedia asked. Before Aros can respond, Ashaedia ran off.
"Ashaedia! Wait!" Kuja shouted after her. He chased after her. Ashaedia found Sephiroth sitting on a large rock, plucking petals from a daisy. Next to him was a rose as white as snow.
"Sephiroth!" Ashaedia shouted, jumping up and hugging him, causing him to drop his flower.
"Oh.... Hello Ashaedia." He said, surprised that she hugged him.
"I'm leaving with Aros to Rocket Town soon. We might be a while." Ashaedia explained, still hugging him. Kuja arrived, and looked up at them both. Sephiroth saw the stupor on his face. He gave him an evil smile. Kuja facepalmed himself.
"So, you'll be gone long?" Sephiroth asked.
"Yeah... um.... I'll miss you." She said. Sephiroth's eyes widened and he blushed. Kuja tried to hid fits of laughter. Ashaedia let go of Sephiroth.
"I'll miss you too," He said with a smile. He picked up the white rose and put in her hand. "Think of me when you hold this special rose, okay?"
"I will!" Ashaedia declared. She hugged him one last time and walked back to Aros with Kuja.
"Well, well, well, that's pretty pathetic of you." Came a thick voice behind Sephiroth. He turned to see Jecht.
"Separated once again... will the hero live on?"
