Hey everyone! I'm back! Just a quick alternative universe one shot! I wanted to try a break from the serious stuff (ex:A Change of Pace) and go with comedy fic for once!

It might be a little confusing because this takes place somewhere around the end of the second disk, the confusing part being Aerith is alive. This was just a weird idea I had gotten from an article I had read about the Cloud and Tifa scene on the highwind I wanted to use for another au fic I'm writing.

Things to look out for:

1. Aerith is alive

2. This takes place around the end of the second disk

3. I don't own any of the characters mentioned, just the plot

4. Reviews make me smile :)

What had she done?

What had she done?

What had she done?

Cloud walked out of the chocobo stable briskly, ignoring the hacking sound Yuffie and her lunch had graced the Highwind with, and continued onwards towards the main deck. Nobody had seemed to notice where the young leader had gone or really even cared how long he had been missing, what they didn't notice was that as soon as he was within five feet of the stable door, Aerith had poked her head out, looking left, than right cautiously. The blonde had disappeared and she released a breath she hadn't even known she was holding.

How could she?

When everyone was still on the ship!

How could they?

She shook her head and with a sigh moved away from the stable, she just needed some time to think, to clear her head.

Loud footsteps stomped her way and she didn't have enough time to make a run for it when Yuffie swayed in, knees shaking and hand over her mouth.

"I don't feel too good…" the ninja muttered before her face became serious and she held her hand even tighter to her mouth, her eyes widening. She unclasped her mouth and breathed a sigh of relief, "Ah, false alarm!"

Aerith smiled lightly and took her means of escape when the younger girl called out her name, "Aerith!" The Cetra screwed her eyes shut and clenched her fists, she had been so close! She turned around to the ninja putting on a smile.

"Hi…"

"Where have you been this whole time?"

Hmm…so Yuffie had noticed.

Aerith clasped her hands behind her back, "Oh, no where!" through her sick haze Yuffie smiled and gave the older woman a light punch on the shoulder, "You weren't planning on running out on us, were you?" Aerith shook her head and stepped back when the young girl's face became serious again.

"Of course not!...Listen, I have to go."

"Sure. See ya later!"

A confused look crossed Yuffie's face as the older woman turned to leave, "Wait a second!" Aerith sighed, wondering what is was now, she wasn't in the mood to stop and chat after...earlier.

The ninja walked up to her and reached up towards her, she once again stepped back out of fear for what she was doing when Yuffie pulled her hand back, "You have a lot of straw in your hair," the girl put on a thinking face, "why?"

Aerith fidgeted nervously and brushed the girl's hand away, "I...um-I...fell in some fodder?"

It wasn't supposed to come out as a question.

"Oh, okay!"

She turned to leave again when Yuffie called out once more, "oh, and Aerith!"

She stopped but didn't turn, which meant she didn't see the younger girl's wicked smile, "You might want to cover that hickey!"
