Hee hee hee. Yes! Today is certainly a great one. I have received my laptop the other day and I've continued work on here. Now, to make up for the delay, I'm also opening up a new drabble series, SmiLe. This one's a little different from the other Yuffentines and for the time being, will be my last one until I start up an unrelated series.
This is more of an exploration series on one of Yuffie's better known aspects, her smile. Just something I cooked up one day.

He certainly didn't expect the interesting band he came across in his atonement. In actuality, he would rather stay in that coffin in that rotting manor, if it weren't for the blonde man's story.
Maybe it was the false hope that it would provide repent for his sins. To help bring mercy for the torture of his lost love's son. It was a reasonable hope, but when he came upon their camp, he began to think otherwise. Their group was certainly interesting, composed of every type of person imaginable: from a quiet swordsman to a robotic cat. Most of them circled comfortably at the campfire as night had already dawned onto the area. It seemed routine to them, he noticed, as Cloud Strife, the mercenary the found him, plopped in a spot between Aeris Gainsborough and Tifa Lockhart, the two women that tagged along with him, after making a short introduction of him and the others. The robotic cat, Cait Sith, sat a few feet away from them, perpetually silent on the giant moogle. Red XII, a feline-like creature, rested comfortably next to a large dark male, Barret Wallace, across the campfire from Cloud.
The closest one to him was a young teenager, Yuffie Kisaragi. She didn't give much indication of actually noticing him (most likely for the two earphones plugged to her ears and stretching down to a CD player), but he sat a few feet from her anyway since it was the closest to where he had stood.
It had certainly been a while since he had seen the outside world, but, he soon realized, it didn't change as much as he thought it would. Still crazy scientists….still Shinra….still cloudy day….
Still night.
He wasn't sure what he was expecting exactly, maybe something a little more—chaotic? Was that the world for it? Somehow, he didn't think so. Chaos softly chided him that his world was chaotic enough without his pessimistic ideas.
He never particularly enjoyed the advice the hell beast would give him, or from any of them, for that matter.
His train of thought stalled when he heard scooting in his direction. He briefly turned his head to see the young girl closer to him now, but still keeping a safe distance. The earphones were taken off now as she looked over at him.
She gave a large grin then, eyes narrowing while she showed pearls of teeth. It reminded him of a con man; obviously to draw some type of good emotions out. The eyebrows remained at there place as the sly smile turned smaller; planning—deceiving. Fake.
He felt stripped for some reason, showing the barest of his soul to the contemplative girl though they had not shared a word to one another. Yuffie had something in mind, but it was difficult to discern with the fact that he had only just met her.
"Hey," she began, the grin becoming wider, "mind if I call you Vinnie?"

First drabble done! If you didn't figure it out, it's her normal grin. I thought this one I good one to start with. Review please!
