It was three days before Christmas in the bustling town of Midgar. People bustled from store to store, like ants, trying to find the perfect gift. Among them were three women, shopping for their friends. Yuffie Kisaragi looked at Tifa. "So! Whatcha gonna get Cloud?"

Tifa flushed bright red. "I-I… I'm… I'm not…sure." She stammered.

Shera and Yuffie both grinned impishly. "Well then I guess we'll have to find the perfect thing!" Shera said.

Yuffie's dark brown, nearly shoulder length hair whipped around her face in the cold wind. "Ooh!" She squealed. "Let's go in there; I'm freezing my butt off out here!" Shera nodded and the pair of them dragged the still red Tifa into a store.

In the first store Yuffie found a cool pair of sunglasses for Cloud, since his most recent pair had gotten broken when he was "visiting" Nanaki at Cosmo Canyon. Shera got a bracelet engraved with 'May you always find happiness, and your wrenches' for Cid, since he had recently lost the later. This made everyone laugh.

At there second shop Yuffie was looking at racks full of earrings when Shera suddenly exclaimed. "Oh! I found something for Yuffie!" Yuffie immediately ran over and tried to see what it was.

"Lemme see! Lemme see!" she tried to grab it, but Shera had it clasped firmly in her hand. She ran over to the register and passed it off to Tifa, who was standing at the front of a long line. Yuffie ran towards the Tifa, but the cashier had already put everything into bags and Tifa was picking them up.

"Oops! Did you want to see? Oh, well, guess you'll have to wait!" Tifa said with a wink.

And, of course, being Yuffie, she had to whine. "But that's not faaaaiiir! I wanna seeeeee!" Tifa and Shera just laughed at the younger girl.

Finally, they all had a gift for everyone. Except for one person. None of them could find anything that they thought would be good for Vincent. Yuffie sighed as they walked endlessly through a large store. Tifa sighed, "Maybe we should go." We can find something for him tomorrow."

Yuffie started to protest, but her stomach growled loudly just then. "All right." She replied a bit sullenly.

The three of them began walking out of the store and were almost to the front when Yuffie saw something that caught her eye. She walked over to it and gently laid her fingers onto the glass counter. It was a small charm in the shape of a tear drop. It was deep crimson in color, almost exactly the same shade as Vincent's eyes. It hung on a simple silver chain. She looked at the price on the small card next to it. She counted the zeros on the end of the number. "Holy shit…" she whispered.

Yuffie gasped when she looked up. In front of her was a woman, smiling. "It's beautiful isn't it? Would you like to see?" Yuffie nodded dumbly.

As the woman pulled it out carefully Tifa yelled back. "Hey, Yuffie! Come on!"

Yuffie turned back to look at her. "Hang on. I found something for Vincent." Tifa looked slightly surprised, but she and Shera walked back over to see what it was that she had found.

When she saw the trinket the woman had pulled out Tifa gasped. "Yuffie, can you afford that?" Yuffie held the charm for a moment, the passed it to Tifa and Shera so they could see it better.

Pulling out her wallet Yuffie counted her gil. "Um…. Hang on! I'll be back!" she yelled, already running to a different part of the huge department store.

It took her a minute to find it, but Yuffie found an area of the store the bought and sold materia. "Can I help you?'' The man behind the counter asked. Yuffie pulled of her small backpack and dumped all of her rare materia onto the counter. The counter was built rounded for just that purpose, so the materia didn't roll off.

"Can I sell this?" Yuffie asked quickly.

The man immediately started examining all of the materia carefully, exclaiming when he found one that was exceptionally rare. "How much do you want for all this?"

Yuffie subtracted what was in her wallet from the price of the charm she wanted. She winced, she was asking quiet a lot. "Um…. About Five hundred…. Thousand…"

The man thought for a moment. She was actually asking just about the materia's worth, if a little more. He nodded. "I'll take it."

Yuffie grinned broadly and took her money. Then she practically sprinted back to the jewelry counter. "I have enough!" She said, still grinning.

The woman smiled as Yuffie put her newly earned money on the counter then pulled out more. She had been just about ready to put away the drop of blood that still sat on the glass counter top. The woman counted the gil carefully then put it in a safe under the counter. "would you like this wrapped?" she asked. Yuffie nodded.

Tifa looked at Yuffie. "Yuffie! Where'd you get that much money? You didn't steal it, did you?"

Yuffie pouted. "God, Tifa! You don't think I'm that evil do ya!"

Tifa shrugged as the woman handed the red wrapped package to Yuffie. "I can never be sure with you." She muttered.

Yuffie glared at her. "I… sold all my materia." She said, looking at the package in her hands. 'But it was worth it' she thought.

Shera looked at her. Her surprise was written clearly all over her face. Her mouth even hung open slightly. "You, the I-steal-materia-from-everyone-even-my-best-friends sold ALL of your materia! Are you okay Yuffie?" She yelled, placing a hand on Yuffie's forehead as though checking for a fever.

Yuffie just shrugged. "Let's get home! I'm starved!" she said as her stomach let out another loud grumble.
