A/N: This is part of the 1000 themes challenge, created by me. The challenge is divided up into thirteen parts (used to be twelve parts)--and this is part one consisting of 50 of the thousand themes, and is focused around the Final Fantasy VII fandom. Enjoy and feel free to participate.


Theme: #1 - "A Bridge Too Far"
Warnings: None really.

"Argh!" The young girl grumbled loudly as she trekked through the deep snow. "Are we almost there?"

Vincent stopped and turned slightly to face the girl as she caught up with him. He silently watched her rub her arms viciously to warm herself and shook his head. "I told you to bring something warm."

"You said we weren't going in the mountains! You said we were going to go to the beach! Why would I need something warm at the beach?!" Yuffie snapped and kicked her feet at the rising snow. "My feet are turning to popsicles!"

He merely watched her with indifference and continued on his walk.

"Hey! Don't you even care?!"

"I did. That's why I told you what to prepare for. You ignored me, and now you can take what you were given."

"Wow, Vinnie, that was harsh."

"Blunt."

"Whatever," she grumbled and caught up to his side. "But really, are we almost there yet? I'm ready to find myself a cave and start a fire."

He ignored her comment and opted to answer her question instead. "We have half a mile to hike before we come to a bridge; we cross that and then we can board the ship again."

"Half a mile?! Did we seriously walk that far?!" She tripped and fell into the snow. When she pushed herself up, she spat and snarled at the white powder. "Damnit, I hate this."

Vincent merely shook his head as he watched her flail her arms at the falling flakes. "Hating it won't change the weather."

"Tch, I know that!" She pushed herself up and brushed off the caked on snow. "Come on, let's go. The sooner we get there, the sooner I can thaw."

He waited until she passed him and shook his head as they continued their hike back.
