Yuffie rubbed her eyes and stepped onto the cold hard wood floor boards of her room. "Why couldn't Cid put carpet instead of this…?" She mumbled quietly not expecting to get an answer, "He wasn't counting on you to wine." She spun around to stare into the handsome and ageless face of Vincent Valentine. Her partner in missions. She pouted and pushed his chest playfully, "Don't you come in here and scare me like that! Especially in the morning!" She wasn't sure, but could have sworn she saw him amirk under his cape a little. "Anyway Yuffie, I was wondering if you were up for…a scavenger hunt." Her eyes brightened, "MATERIA?!" He nodded simply, "Yep, want to go?" She jumped happily, "Well duh! Who wouldn't?!" Vincent sighed and shook his head, "Get ready then." She watched him walk out of the room and shut the door. 'He's such a grumpy ass. He may not age outside but inside he belongs in a retirement home!' She giggled at her thought and skipped to the closet. It wasn't everyday she got to go on a MATERIA hunt with Vincent, so she was going to look her best and act her oldest, which, in her right mind, the oldest she can get to is…possibly 5. Oh well, good enough to impress the man.

"So Vinnie, what ship we taken?" Yuffie blurted as she bit into her apple. "We're not. We're heading out to Cosmo canyon. Cid said he picked up a high reading of MATERIA there. He was to lazy to get it himself at the time I guess, so we have to." He looked out the window of the huge ship, "That really doesn't answer my que-" "We're walking." Her eyes widened and she dropped her apple to her feet. "WHAT?! DO YOU KNOW HOW FAR OUT COSMO CAYON IS???? I-" She was halted by a metal hand over her mouth. "Shhhh," He whispered with out even looking at her, "You're too loud. Besides, aren't you great enough, as you commonly propose, to walk to the Canyon?" His head turned to her slightly in a small, yet evil little smirk. "Fine," She ripped his hand away, and at that moment, she thought she saw him frown deeply in his eyes. "I'll walk." He nodded approvingly, "Good. Then I guess we'd better get going." He looked at her and she tightened her headband tightly around her head, "Right!"
