Storyline:
[AU]Cloud, is Aerith's best friend whom she tells everything to. But one day, while waiting for Cloud to arrive at the church, a beasts attacks her and she is saved by a man by the name of Zack. Falling in love with him, she tells Cloud of the mysterious man, and how she feels about him. Oblivious of Cloud's feelings for her, she continues to talk about Zack, and unable to control himself, he forces a kiss on Aerith. Slapping him in anger, Aerith is left alone to think after the incident, and she realizes how much pain she must have caused Cloud. She remembers all that has happened between her and Cloud, yet amidst those memories Zack's face appears in her mind. She dosen't want to lose her best friend, but nor can she stop thinking of her savior. Cloud returns to the church later that evening and Aerith asks why he's there. He states that he wishes to be forgiven, and grabs her hand, leading her to his bike. Driving to the dance, Aerith believes he's taken her there as a form of apology. Smiling and waiting as he goes to grab some drinks, Aerith suddenly hears her name and looks up to see Zack, his hand held out towards her, asking if she would like to dance. Accepting, the two begin their choreography and at it's finale, she questions if she'll ever see him again. Responding with a 'of course', Zack secretly decides to go to the church the following day in hopes of seeing her.
The next day, Aerith is talking to Cloud in the church and the door suddenly opens to reveal a shocked Zack. 'Cloud?!' he states, in which the man in question simply smiles in return and tells Zack to take care of Aerith. Watching as she makes her way over to Zack, she tells Cloud that she never once blamed him (for the kiss). As she fades into the distance, Cloud turns and walks away, memories of what occurred at the dance flowing into the back of his mind. He remembered how he left Aerith, met up with Zack (who was his friend), and told him to go find Aerith and dance with her. He brought together the girl he loves (Aerith) and the man he trusts (Zack) together, while he, himself, watches from far off in the distance.

Other:
- The scene with Aerith [4:34-4:37]is Cloud thinking back to what Aerith had once said to him. (and how, basically, he believes it's a lie, now)
- In the dance scene, please imagine that Rinoa is Aerith and Squall is Zack ^-^" (couldn't really cut out their faces all that well...)

Wow, this was an interesting video to make... Don't know if the storyline makes much sense, so please comment and tell me what you think~!
=D

Oh~
and if you watch it all the way to the end, there's a 'secret' after-ending (?) ^-^"
=D

I love this vid so much I have it bookmarked on my iTouch. LOL. Are you using Sony Vegas 8 Pro or just regular. I can't get the same effects on my Vegas 9. for some reason???

5/5 added to favs.

[LockVII]

lol

aww, thanks~ Glad you like the vid~! =^-^=

I use Sony Vegas Pro 8, haven't used 9 before so i'm not too sure why you cant get the same effects... Sorry~!

[Mattylionheart]

why the hell is there a Final Fantasy 8 Clip in there(the dancing scene of Squall and Riona) in a video of clips from 7 and crisis core, so a small mistake

[LockVII]

There was a storyline for the video *points to description box*, and in the story, it required a dance scene and since the only dance scene available was from FF8, i had to use that and tried my best to cut out the faces of Squall and Rinoa ^^"

so that's why that scene was in there~

=)

[d4rknite]

Very good, it sucks that zack dies and leaves aerith by herself in crisis core but zack saves cloud so yeah lol

[queenmari94]

this was the most beautifull vid i ever seen. It was creative and thoughtfully orginized very well. U did deserve first place. I LOVED IT = )

[150Link]

I wished cloud died. But it would be sad for tifa. She can have cloud. I'm happy enough just to see Zack with Goddess Aerith. Fantastic video. Thank you.

[LadyVedder]

Although I think Rinoa would be a much better body double for Tifa, this was a really good amv over all. Great editing to throw in the kiss from X.
