"Yuffie! Yuffie!" a little girl screamed waving her arms in a trapped large crowd.

A young girl, about in her teen 17's looked at the crowd observed it. As she saw two small arms waving in the air, she squeezed in and walked slowly to find the girl. She finally found the little girl with a worried expression plastered on her face, she smiled in relief.

"Marlene, what are you doing here?" Yuffie asked in confusion. "Tough crowd over here."

"I was looking for someone to help me with my magic trick," she said smiling. "I found someone but I need another person."

"Ohhh," Yuffie said scratching the back of her short jet black hair. "I'll help you find someone so you can do your.."

"Hey! why don't you help me with my magic trick?" Marlene insisted grabbing Yuffie's hand and leading her out of the crowd.

Hmmm.. she thought to herself. "Alright, I'll help."

They walked pretty far, where was Marlene taking her anyway?

"By the way," Marlene said "Daddy said there was an Avalanche meeting. Aren't you supposed to be there? He said it was really important."

Oh fuck, busted.. she thought "Umm, well, Barret said to.. ermm.. Come here," Yuffie lied "And.. he just said I had to check up on you."

"Ohhh okay," Marlene said.

Poor kid, Yuffie thought, feeling ashamed, she believed a lie. Of course the real truth was this; Barret told her there was an important Avalanche meeting. Yuffie hated Avalanche meetings so she planned to jig it. The meetings went for hours, they were full of bitchy arguments and it always at least had to have the same procedure. Blah blah blah is in terrible danger, we have to help immediately. Blah blah blah you go here and blah blah blah you'll be back up. Remember this is our one chance blah blah blah why don't you shut the fuck up? She always asked herself, why the fuck did I joined the team? Of course she wanted to join; it's just no one ever told her Avalanche had bitchy meetings.

"We're here!" Marlene said running towards an old worn out wooden box. She grabbed a magician's hat and put it on, she giggled to herself.

"How long did you take to get another person?" a familiar voice whined standing up.

"Hey!" Yuffie said in curiosity "I know that voice anywhere."

She turned around.

She opened her mouth, shocked; and pointed at the man "IT'S YOU!" she shouted.
