Y/N was surprised and caught off guard as he was being dragged around the town of Kalm by Aerith, as the flower girl caught the Assassin with a surprise date.

Y/N: Aerith, what is this?

Aerith: it's a date, silly

She said as she adorably giggled.

Y/N: uhh Aerith, you know-

Aerith: I know, you and Tifa are dating. She told me you know, we're roommates

Y/N: oh I see, that's good to hear

Aerith: so tell me Y/N, what's your idea of a first date?

Y/N: hmm, just walking around I guess, I didn't had much time socializing as a SOLDIER

Aerith: well then, let's commence our friendly date

Y/N: whoa! Wait for me

Aerith first took Y/N to a bookstore, but it wasn't any ordinary bookstore, this one in particular lets the party upgrade their weapons and learn new techniques and attacks. One technique in particular let's Y/N modify his left hidden blade to make it pivot and work as a small dagger for quick slashes to his enemy's throats followed by a quick thrust of his right hidden blade. Another interesting technique are the uses of synergy abilities, which allows him to perform combo moves with any member of the party.

After modifying his blade and learned new techniques, he continued to walk around with Aerith as the two spotted a water tower in town.

Aerith: hmm, wonder what this reminds somebody of?

Y/N: a certain promise someone made to a certain girl

Aerith giggled.

Aerith: I wonder who that someone is

Y/N: all I can say is that his hair is shaped like a chocobo

Aerith giggled.

Aerith: it seems Tifa told you our joke

Y/N: she tells me everything

Aerith: come on, let's get a better view of the town from the clock tower

Y/N: right behind you

The two went to the balcony of the tower to see the surrounding town above them.

Aerith: I think Midgar is this way

Y/N: should be yeah

The two went to see the City of Mako from their position.

Aerith: funny how small it looks

Y/N: well it is far away

Aerith: so did something happen between you and Cloud?

Y/N: huh? What do you mean?

Aerith: Cloud said you weren't yourself last night

Y/N: oh that was nothing, I just didn't get enough sleep last night

Aerith: well, I hope everything is okay between you two

Just then their friendly date was interrupted by the arrival and sounds of Shinra aircraft.

Y/N: son of a bitch, what are they doing here?

Y/N and Aerith ran to regroup with the rest of the party as Shinra troopers dropped in to search for Avalanche, but the five were split up as more troops began to drop in by the numbers.

As Y/N and Aerith were about to take the fight to the soldiers, they were stopped by the innkeeper Broden.

Broden: ah, there you are. There isn't much time, we need to get back to the inn
