... like she was being made to believe this was her idea. But she knew full well, just like every other time the seemingly innocent Aerith Gainsborough batted her eyes, and used her charms to get what she wanted.
But, Tifa had just been thinking how it wouldn't take much to get her out of the hotel room, and honestly, this would probably be a good thing for her. So, she would give her friend this victory, and see where it took them. Honestly, she had a few ideas, but she was trying not to get ahead of herself, and read too much into Aerith Gainsborough seemingly picking her over anyone else.
For the next few hours, the explored the park, going on the various different rides, and machines. They raced on bikes, snowboards, danced like fools and even found themselves in a play. All fun, mostly platonic stuff. Mostly. But then they took a long cable ride, high above The Gold Saucer, as fireworks painted a beautiful picture in the distance. It was truly breath-taking. And maybe even, romantic?
Just a little bit. Although even that could have been dismissed, if it wasn't for the flirty comments Aerith was sending her way. And the more she thought about it, the more Tifa realized it wasn't the first time. It was however, the first time there weren't distractions, like the boys, or monsters.

So by the time they got back to their hotel room, Tifa was feeling pretty awkward. And something else, she wasn't so sure she could name. And there was just something in the air. ...
... Like something would happen, unless she did something to stop it. But for better or for worse, she didn't.
She didn't complain when Aerith not only casually escorted her to her room, but came in with her, and started rummaging through the minibar. Oh man, did she have any idea how much things in their cost? Cloud was going to be so grumpy in the morning. Well, more than usual. Tifa would be definitely paying for that. Although very soon, that was the least of her worries.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm being rude." Aerith apologized, before offering, "Do you want anything?"
"I'm good, thanks." Tifa dismissed.
"Oh come on, you're not going to make me drink alone, are you?" Aerith pouted, before finally pulling out a bottle and holding it up to the light, "Look! They have champagne! Honestly, I've never tried it, but it's supposed to be good, right? And more importantly, it's supposed to be about celebrating things. So why not celebrate tonight?"
"I've never had it, either" Tifa admitted softly, ending with a shrug, "I'm more of a beer girl, anyway."
"How do you know, if you haven't tried it?" Aerith asked flirtatiously.
"I, I didn't say I didn't." Tifa blushed, worried how that sounded.
"Excellent!" Aerith beamed, opening the bottle, "It's decided then."
"I guess..." Tifa grumbled, as she watched Aerith retrieve a couple of glasses, and fill them with the expensive liquid. Then she voiced her earlier thought, "Cloud is going to be so grumpy."
"I know right?" ...
