It was vary hot underneath the overhead lights in the wonder square at Gold Saucer. I can not remember how long I have been sitting here in this crane machine, time doesn't mean much when you stuffed with down. The hours passed along with people who tried taking a crack at snatching either me or one of my brethren. If I were able to I would roll my eyes at these fools who stand there and try to woo there female companions with their "skills" or rather lack there of, that is if a plushy can have an opinion.

"What the hell!! This thing is so rigged!!" a teenage boy hollered as he smacked the glass, before wrapping an arm around a young girl and walking away. More hours passed while I sat here, I wonder if I will ever be won.

"REEVE LETS TRY THIS ONE!!! A slim young girl with short black hair cried with glee as she pulled a tall man with shaggy hair and a goatee over to my machine. The man smiled at the young girl and shrugged.

"Come on Reeve take a shot at it!" the girl encouraged bouncing on her toes as she pressed her face against the glass. When her eyes fell on me they grew vary wide, the man glanced her way with an arched eyebrow, as he slipped money into the machine. The crane above me jerked to life as the man maneuvered the controls until it hovered over my head. You can imagine my surprise when those claws wrapped themselves around my feathery yellow butt and started yanking. I suspect this is what being born is like, I was lifted up and then rather rudely dropt into hole.

"Oh my god! Reeve you got one!! You got that adorable little chocobo!!" Yuffie giggled bouncing on her toes once again. The man, I am assuming his name is Reeve for obvious reasons reached in a grabbed me pulling me out of the tight shoot I had been dropped into.

"Yep, here you go Yuffie, happy birthday." The man said handing me over to the hyper young girl named Yuffie. Yuffie promptly grabbed me a squeezing me way to tightly to her chest.

"Awwww!!!!! Thank you sooooo much Reeve for taking me here and for the chocobo!!" The girl said happily before holding me up in the air with both arms examining me.

"You fuzz butt are way to cute! I am gonna have to come up with a name for you." Reeve started laughing behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder he leaned closer to her.

"I am glad you like it, but where do you want to go next birthday girl?" Yuffie grinned as she looked over her shoulder at him.

"I don't know Reeve, but what do you think I should name him." Reeve shrugged taking me out of her arms and looking at me.

"Why not just call him fuzz butt?" Yuffie snatched me back hugging me again playfully glaring at the man.

"Because this special little guy deserves a really good name, I am gonna have to think about it. Can we go ride the gondola? I really want to see the fireworks….. please?" the young girl flashed a cheeky smile as she continued hugging me. I am certain that by this point if I were flesh and blood I would had died from lack of oxygen.

"Yuffie, you know you don't have to ask, this night is my present to you, whatever your heart desires say it and it will be yours." The many sang while dramatically waving his arm and flashing a grin. Holding out his arm the young girl took it and together they walked towards the exit.

"I really appreciate this Reeve, this has got to be one of the best birthday gifts ever, and my birthday isn't even for another week!" Yuffie giggled as she walked in step with him, Reeve looked at her out of the corner of his eyes.

"Its not everyday you turn eighteen Yuffie, I just wanted to help make it memorable. I am glad you're enjoying yourself." Reeve reached out a wrapping his hand in hers as they walked over to the gondola ride, letting go of her hand only long enough to reach in his pocket and pay the ride attendant. Once we boarded the ride the young girl sat me on the seat next to her as the man sat down across from her. The ride jerked into motion and started it's climb up the steel lines. The two sat in silence for a couple minutes watching the scenery around them. The Yuffie's face lit up as she watched the fire works start up, Reeve suppressed a laugh as she climbed onto her knees and craned her neck out the window to see better. Yuffie herd him snort trying not to laugh and turning her head stuck her tongue out at him.

"I don't know why you're sitting all the way over there Reeve, I don't know how you can see!" Reeve rose from his seat and walked across the gondola, Yuffie slid over on the bench knocking me off while making room for him. Reeve sat down next to her resting his arms on the windowsill. As the ride went on Yuffie occasionally made oos and ahhs at the various fireworks. Reeve sat next to her watching the display with mild interst, but mostly watching her, his eyes studying the way the colors reflected on her skin and the delicate smile resting on her face. Turning away from the window Yuffie's smile widened as her eyes met Reeve's.

"I have come up with a name for the chocobo, I am gonna call it Reefie!" Reeve arched an eyebrow, glancing down at me on the floor.

"Why Reefie? I have never herd that name." Yuffe started giggling.

"That's because I just made it up, its our names mixed together. That way whenever I see him I will remember this night and how great a friend you are." Reeve felt his cheeks get a little pink as he smiled at her.

"I think it's a great name Yuffie, I take it you had a fun night?" Yuffie nodded vigorously.

"I had a spectacular, wonderful, stupendous time! Thank you so much Reeve you're the best!" Yuffie cried happily bouncing in her seat. From my spot on the floor I could barely see what happened next, but the young girl leaned forward and kissed the man on the cheek briefly before blushing furiously. The man just grinned back at her wrapping an arm around her shoulders. The remainder of the ride they sat together in silence watching the fireworks.
