A monster encounter

As the duo walked down the path, made as they are to prevent the pile-up of too much garbage littering what pass for streets in the Sector 5 slums, Cloud and Aerith heard a low growling coming from an oddly formed pile of junk.

Cloud reluctantly stood in front of the beautiful flower girl, sword in hand, ready to fight. "Stay back," he warned, taking his sword in both hands.

Aerith watched curiously, deep in admiration at both the SOLDIER's bravery... and also of his nearly nude state. She now had a nice view of his underwear-clad backside, and what a sight is was! No doubt toned and chiseled to perfection as a result of all the dangerous missions that the blonde-haired boy had embarked on.

As Aerith stood back admire the specimen before her, said specimen was mentally preparing himself for the most awkward fight of his life.

The source of the growling finally reveals itself as it emerges from the shadows of the junk pile: a wolf creature, one that usually resided in forest areas... what was it doing here?

As Cloud positioned himself to properly battle the canine in his state of undress, Aerith had finally formulated a naughty plan. She looked over at the Buster Sword in Cloud's hands and smirked at the lack of materia inside. This wolf had a weakness to fire spells, and thankfully, her staff was properly equipped with a blazing red fire materia. She finally had her chance!
