[Lifestream]
A young female with short black hair floated in what was known as the 'Lifestream'. Her clothes and her hair flowed around gently as her brown eyes slowly opened. Green and white liquid wrapped around her as it twisted around the air.
"The lifestream?" She questioned herself,baffled. "How did I end up here?"
At that moment just in the distance in front of her she saw a ray of light bounce off a transparent sphere. Inside of it was a silver liquid taking form of a butterfly. Feeling completely light,she started to swim over to it,like she was in water. She circled her hand around the sphere and held it in her hand.
"Was it you who caused this?"
~*~* Earlier that day ~*~*
"SDS at your service!" Yuffie said enthusically making a peace sign with her fingers.
A man dressed in ragged clothes frowned at her,before he walked behind a small archway into another room. Yuffie crossed her arms and tutted,"How rude." Her mind thought. She grabbed her black wristband and started turning it around her wrist. As she waited for the man to collect the package for her,she began carelessly wondering around the old shop.
Alot of the corners in the ceiling and most of the objects in the shop had cobwebs covering them-making Yuffie a little grossed out. She started to look around at the random objects in the store,to her surprise she saw something slightly interesting and that was a Maneki Neko. It was a gold coloured one,holding a Koban in his right hand. Eventually Yuffie got bored and carried on browsing through the shop. The next thing Yuffie found was a Chocobo plush toy,it was soft and fluffy,with long brown legs.
She picked it up and heard something rolling off the shelf,until a drop noise was heard-thats when her attention was aimed at the floor. On the floor was a transparent sphere with a silver liquid butterfly inside.
"Materia?" She grabbed her mouth trying to silence herself.
Footsteps in the backroom where the man had gone to get his package were getting closer. Yuffie quickly grabbed the Materia and placed it into her yellow pouch,as she put the plush Chocobo back on the shelf. Taking big strides,she rushed over to the counter and grinned widely as the man came back through the door. He raised an eyebrow at her as he froze at the door,he shook his head and carried on making his way to the counter. He placed on top of the counter a small wooden box.
"If you could have it delievered by tonight it would be gladly appeciated." The man spoke as Yuffie grabbed the box.
Still smiling widely,Yuffie ran out of the shop.
"Goodbye Mr Shop Owner!" She yelled.
The shop owner just stared at the front door with a puzzled look,holding his hand infront of him like he was stopped during in a waving motion. Outside of the building Cloud was leaning against his motorcycle,speaking to someone on the phone.
"She's here now. Got to go." He said as he pressed the cancel key on his phone.
He flipped the phone and shoved it into his pocket. Yuffie walked over to him grinning and passed him the wooden box,while getting a suspicous gaze off Cloud.
"What happened?" He bluntly said.
Yuffie stepped back and waved her hands in front of her.
"Er.. nothing nothing,I just found some ma-" She paused.
"Ma?"
"Ma-ma-many things interesting in there. I found this really cute plush toy for Marlene it-it was a Chocobo one. I mean how cool is that!" She stopped babbling to find Cloud was sat on his motorcycle setting the engine ready to go.
Yuffie breathed out in relief with her hand to her chest,until something clicked in her head. "Hey you Chocobo head! Don't ignore people when they are speaking to you."
Cloud just sighed. "If you don't hurry up I'm going to leave you."
Yuffie cringed at the thought of whether he would actually leave her or not,so she ran over to the motorcycle and jumped behind him. She smiled and placed the box between her legs and wrapped her arms around Cloud.
"Hey."
"Hm?"
"If you think your going to throw up,tell me to stop. I don't want you to-"
"Awww you care about me!" She said childishly.
"I was going to say I don't want you to ruin Fenrir. But,we'll go with that."
Yuffie's eyebrows knitted and she bit her lip to hide her anger,but was amazed to see Cloud chuckle abit. Her tensed body now relaxed as her lips turned at the sides.
"I guess I'll let you off for now." She giggled.
[Seventh Heaven Bar,Edge]
Silent music played in the background of the bar as five people sat around a circular table.
"What business did you need to speak of Reno?" Cloud asked curiously.
Reno chucked an image of a transparent sphere with a silver liquid butterfly inside of it on the table. Cloud and Tifa raised their brows,while Yuffie's eyes looked to the floor as she felt pressure build on her.
"What is this?" Tifa commented as she viewed the photo.
"Memory Materia." Reno answered.
"Memory Materia!" Yuffie repeated with joy,until she silenced herself again.
"I thought you'd be happy about it." Reno smirked before glancing back over to Cloud. "It's an exceptionally rare materia isn't it,better yet no-ones ever seen anything like this before. It was found in the Materia Caves by a Shin-ra researcher known as Chokichi. From what we heard this is quite the powerful materia."
Rude leaned forward his arms resting on the table. "Chokichi is now known as abit of a mad man. He claims he was thinking of his deaceased wife who died last year due to a monster attack when he found this materia. Aparantly he went back to the moment just before she died and saved her-then he came back."
There was a moment of silence before anyone spoke again.
"Sooooo...?" Yuffie extended the word as she moved her hand in small circles.
Reno rolled his eyes at her.
"So he brought back his dead wife,but heres the confusing part. Everybody in the research facilty have always known his wife and according to them she never died. Even his own wife is baffled by what he's saying. So if this materia really did work then that means the only reason he remembers is because he was the one who went back in time and changed the future." Reno spoke with a serious tone.
Yuffie,Cloud and Tifa were all astounded,but not wanting to believe it Yuffie spoke.
"I think its true,maybe he's just lost the plot you know. Gone completely physco from chemicals and stuff." Yuffie spun her hand around near her head to make the 'Looney' gesture as she stood up-until Reno made her stop from simple words.
"What if its true? Could you imagine what would happen if people started changing the past?"
The whole room fell silent again and everybody kept their eyes on the photo. For Yuffie she tightened her fists and began to shake abit,the pressure was getting to much for her-she had to get out of that room. She rotated around ninety degrees before sticking her tongue out at everyone.
"Argh! This room is so stuffy with all this seriousness! I'm taking a break for abit." She faked a chuckle as she left the bar.
Everybody just looked at her,before they started to talk amongst each other again. While Yuffie was outside she turned into an alley way and leaned against the rough surface of a wall. She slid down slowly and pulled out the materia to have a look at it. She started to remember everything Reno had said and she was beginning to wonder whether it was true.
"Hmm going back into the past and changing things. It seems nice,but changing the future also seems like a bad thing to happen." She stared off at the moon and watched the stars sparkle. "Things would be so much simplier if I was a kid again. Atleast then it would be a slap on the wrist if I got caught stealing this kind of materia."
As she said that the butterfly in the middle began to flap its wings and the materia began to brighten with white light. Suddenly the light burst out of the materia and filled the whole of Edge in complete whiteness. The bright light being too much for Yuffie,mader her quickly shut her eyes.
[Wutai]
*~*~ 10 Years In The Past *~*~
"So where are you taking me now?" She asked as the green and white liquid completely took over her before she opened her eyes again to find a familar destination. Wutai ten years into the past.
"One,avoid unnecessarily training."
"Two,protect Wutai at all costs."
Yuffie's attention was caught at the also familar voice. She pressed her back to a wall and peeped around the corner to see a younger version of herself.
"Three,ugly SHINRA dudes must be punished!"
A guy with spikey blue hair who looked similar to Cloud stood there,looking awkwardly at the young girl stood at the top of the stoned stairs.
"Who are you?" He asked with a raised brow.
The young Yuffie placed her hands at hips on her green and white hoodie.
"I'm Wutai's greatest warrior! If you wanna go futher,you have to go through me!"
