[Apology gifts!]

[littleprotector.livejournal.com]

[So, Marlene got in trouble. Again. Tifa had realized Marlene was one of the culprits behind the love letter scheme, and therefore, sent Marlene to do her punishment.

Which just happened to be baking. ANd lots and lots of advice of why not to do this and how she can use her creativity to better use and etc.

So, to all of the recipients of the love letters, which include Celes, Reis, Penelo, Porom Mjrn, Aerith, Rikku, Refia, Fran, and Yuffie, you're all going to get a special gift basket full of various baked goods, including mini cakes, buns, and the like, along with a handwritten note, not signed, that said Sorry.

Each basket is delivered by moogle.]

Okay so I couldn't resist

[Post-advice giving, Tifa is helping Marlene to finish up the last of the baskets. She adds a couple of dainty fairy cakes before passing the basket to Marlene.]

There. Phew! So do you feel okay now?

[Because she knows Marlene's heart was in the right place, and she doesn't want to see the little girl crushed, especially with Cloud gone.]

It's okay!

I still feel bad.

[She admitted after a minute.] I didn't think it was going to hurt people this badly.

She's just so cute

I didn't either, honey. That's the thing about people... A lot of the time, you don't really know what's in their hearts. And love is the emotion that hurts the most...

But the letters were supposed to make them happy! That's how it is in the books we read!

[Tifa smiles sadly.]

Well, real life isn't always like it is in books.

[She turns to pick up the leftover cakes on the baking tray.]

But I'll tell you one thing. Cupcakes always cheer people up, even if it's just a little.

[And holds one out for Marlene.]

[She takes it carefully from Tifa's hands, smiling ever so slightly.]

Thanks, Tifa.
