"Can you teach me how to do that?" Rikku asked.

"What, this?" Yuffie once again threw a smoke bomb to the floor, before reappearing on a nearby rooftop.

"Where are you?" The Gullwing asked herself, wondering if Yuffie was idiotic enough to answer.

"Up here!" The ninja called.

"I guess so..." She muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. Don't worry." Rikku remembered what happened the time Cloud called her an idiot. He was checking over his shoulder for over a year and was limping for two months.

"Tell you what, catch me and I'll tell you!" Yuffie leapt across an alleyway and started to jump between buildings.

Meanwhile, Rikku pulled out a small device and tapped the screen. She then suddenly shrunk, her clothes changing instantly as she grew a pair of wings. "All right Yuffie, you're on." She took flight across the buildings of Radiant Garden.

The two chased each other all over town. Whenever Rikku grew close, Yuffie would use her smokescreen trick.

After about seven of these events, as they were in some backstreets just behind the marketplace, Rikku flew below roof level, following Yuffie by her shadow. "Look out Yuffie..." She murmured, humming the Jaws theme music as she followed the ninja.

"Hey, where are you?" Yuffie asked. Rikku could see her standing at the edge one one rooftop, facing away from the street. The Gullwing flew up behind her.

"SURPRISE!" She shouted, before tackling Yuffie to the ground. Yuffie screamed.

"Get off me... Rikku." She sighed. "Fine. I'll teach you that trick..." She said, sorrowfully.

"Yay!" Rikku squealed, imagining her plan to coax emotion out of Paine.
