"Tira?" Tifa asked again, softly knocking on the door. "Tira?"

Tira ignored her and continued to stare at her reflection in the mirror.

"Tira? Are you okay?" Tifa knocked one more time before finally turned the handle on the door and coming in.

Tira turned away from the mirror, quickly covering her eye with her palm.

"Is there something wrong with your eye?" Tifa asked before pulling the girl's hand away from her face. "It looks fine to me." Tifa took a step back and smiled. "You have a visitor down stairs."

"Who is it?" Tira asked looking a bit excited.

Running down the stairs, I caught a glimpse of someone sitting at the counter of the bar.

"Long time no see!" It was just Yuffie… Aww….

"What are you doing here?" I said cheerfully, trying to hide any bit of disappointment. Wait… Disappointed in what? I'm not disappointed… Heh…

"Well, I was in the area- and bored out of my mind- might I add, and hey! I thought we should take a break and do what girls do best! S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G!!!" the ninja girl pumped her arm into the air. "How 'bout it?"

S… H…. O… P… PING… "Shopping!" Hey- I'm slow…

Well, not many things have changed since we last met my fav readers. Oh, but I'm all grown up now! Twenty-two and a half I am today. I can now legally drink, but what fun is that now. Don't drink- alcohol bad! Midgar's been rebuilt and looks 100 times better than before. Yuffie and me are best buds. I live with Tifa, Cloud, and the orphans at the 7th Heaven. For my job… I help deliver stuff with Cloud. Well, not with him, I get the easy and little stuff. And for Shinra, they've been pretty quiet. Haven't seen a Turk since Reno ditched me with Cloud. Jerk.

"Aww, damn!" Yuffie cussed, punching the claw machine. Ever since we got to The Silver Lining, a.k.a., Midgar's own Golden Saucer, Yuffie had been spending her gil on one machine. "Come on! All I want is the Moogle plushie!" she cried sliding down the machine to the floor in defeat.

"Have you finally given up?" I asked feeling a bit relieved.

"NEVER! … Could I borrow some gil Tira?" she asked scratching the back of her head in slight embarrassment.

Giving her some spare gil, I took what I had left and looked for something for me to play. Oooooooo- Cards! . Nah… Dance Revolution? Well, if I dance by myself, I'll look like that kid who's super good because s/he doesn't have a life and plays it all day in their room and drinks ramune and eats pocky and ramen because they think that they're Japanese, unless they are- I'm rambling… I'm sorry…

"Yuffie!" I whined. "Play a game with me!" Look at me; twenty-two in a half and whining like a ten year old… And it feels great!

Sorry- that was probably boring- but I've been so depressed lately… I'm trying to plan Reno and Tira's reunion… Review please- and tell me if you have any suggestions! Please! Please! Please!
