Sora and the gang returned to Merlin's. Except Cloud, Aerith and Leon.

"Leon, you have to go to bed," Aerith demanded. "And maybe if you go to bed, you'll get an un -scattered dream about that girl. With no interruptions? Since we won't disturb you." Aerith's voice had the 'deal' tone.

Leon sighed. He glared at Aerith and then walked away home.

"Nice," Cloud said as he watched Leon walk off.

Aerith giggled and put her hands on Cloud's shoulder to turn him around to face her. She kissed Cloud gently on the lips. "How 'bout you come over to my house and I'll cook you a nice, fancy dinner," she said. Cloud smirked.

"That sounds great," Cloud said and then leaned closer for another kiss.

LATER AT LEON'S HOUSE

Leon was in bed. He turned to his left. On the bedside table sat a clock. It was 7p.m. Leon groaned and pulled off the covers. He got up and redressed. He went down. In the kitchen, stood Yuffie at the countertop making herself a cup of coffee?

"Yuffie!" cried Leon from the stairs.

Yuffie jumped and turned around in shock.

"What are you doing here?"

Yuffie giggled nervously. Yuffie was hoping for Leon to roll his eyes and go back to normal, but he didn't.

"You can't get out of this, Yuffie. Not this time."

He was coming closer to her. His face was full of annoyance and anger. "Where are my keys?"

Yuffie opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

"Yuffie, answer me."

Yuffie gulped. Leon was coming closer. Yuffie was backing away. Finally, her back reached the countertop. Leon lifted his hand.

Yuffie squeezed her eyes shut. She was deep in thought. 'This is the end of me,' she thought. 'He'll never let me into his house. Ever.' Suddenly, something popped into her terrified brain.

Yuffie reached for her pocket. Inside were her shurikens. She took one out and threw it towards the wall. It stuck onto it. Leon turned around and then turned back.

"Okay, that's it!" Leon shouted.

He reached for his gunblade that leaned against the kitchen wall. He grabbed it and lifted it to attack but suddenly, the door bell rang. Leon turned around.

"Leeeeooonn!" cried a voice from outside.

Leon turned back to Yuffie and glared. He pointed to her and said, "Don't-move." He put his gunblade down.

Leon turned back and went towards the door. He opened it. It was Sora, Donald and Goofy. Sora waved to him. Leon waved back. Sora's hands were behind his back. Wonder what's behind it? Sora took his hands out. Inside them was a gift basket.

"We wanted to check on you," Sora said.

"Aerith told us to," Donald added.

Goofy nodded. Leon sighed and let them in.

"Ooooooh! Aaaaaah!"

Leon rolled his eyes.

"Hi, Yuffie!" cried all three of them.

"Hey, what's Yuffie doing here?" Sora asked suspiciously after realizing that this was Leon's house. "Is there something going on between you two? Something romantic and—."

Leon cut Sora off with a serious NO.

Suddenly, Leon saw something in Yuffie's hand. His house keys.

'IDIOT!' Leon thought to himself. He snatched the keys from her.

"You'll never get back into my house again, Yuffie Kisaragi." Leon kept it in his pocket.

"Are you sure it's not something roman-."

Leon cut Sora off again. "NO. Now, thanks and I'm fine, so see you tomorrow or something," Leon said as he pushed Sora and friends towards the door. "Okay, bye!" Leon got them out the door and slammed it shut before they could say anything.

Yuffie was thinking. 'Hmmm… Leon is pretty cute…' Yuffie thought. 'But…' She stopped her dreamy thoughts about Leon when she realized that he was staring at her. His face was super annoyed and he was very angry.

"Out."

Yuffie tried to protest but couldn't. She tried to speak but no sound came from her mouth.

'Okay, Yuffie. Listen up, you cannot like him! He's your friend,' she thought to herself. 'Now, just walk away towards the door and...' The door was open for her. She walked out slowly and the second her foot was outside…

"Goodbye, Yuffie." The door slammed shut.

'Some friend, so cruel to me…'

The following day, Yuffie was deep in thought and wonder.

'Will Leon let me in his house again?' she asked herself. 'Will we still be friends? Does Leon like me in that kind of way?' Yuffie sat on the railing as she looked up to the sky in wonder. 'Plus… who's that girl in his dreams?'

"Wussup, Yuffie," Cloud said as he came near.

"Nothing much," she replied. "Hey, Cloud. You're close to Leon, right?"

Cloud nodded.

"Did he tell you about all of his dreams about that girl?"

Cloud shook his head. Yuffie sighed in disappointment. Will she ever know? And will she ever get rid of that icky liking feeling towards Leon?
