"Hmmm." Scarlet looked the quaint girl up and down, pausing every now and then to make notes.

"Too skinny ... not good for bearing sons," she noted aloud, causing Yuffie to blush slightly. Goosebumps ran down her spine and she began to sweat with nervousness.

Without Yuffie noticing, the tiny moogle managed to work it's way out of the small cage attached to her sash, and began flying around the room.

"Recite the Final Admonition," the Matchmaker ordered.

"Mmm hmm," Yuffie nodded, and took out her paper fan and began reciting.

"Fulfill your duties, calmly and…" she glanced down at her underarm at the notes she had taken earlier. The words were now smeared and difficult to read. "… respectively. Um, reflect before you ... snack. Act! This shall bring you honor and glory."

Yuffie finished quickly, smiling and fanning herself nervously. Scarlet grabbed the fan from her and searched it for cheat notes. Finding none, she grabbed Yuffie's arm and pulled her to a table. The writing smeared on the woman's hand.

"Now, pour the tea. To please your future in-laws, you must demonstrate a sense of dignity and refinement. You must also be poised," as she said this, the moogle had found it's way into her blonde hair and had nested in it. Yuffie stared, pouring the tea. She missed the cup and quickly caught her mistake before Scarlet noticed. The Matchmaker took the teacup, closed her eyes and deeply inhaled the steam. The tiny creature took this as the perfect opportunity to dive into the cup unnoticed. Yuffie's eyes grew wide.

"Um, excuse me," she started.

"Be silent!" the Matchmaker hissed.

"Could I just take that back? One moment..." Yuffie insisted, reaching for the cup.

Scarlet fought for the teacup, and they both fell backwards onto the floor. The moogle flew inside the woman's dress.

"Why, you clumsy! ... Oh! Ah! Woo!" the Matchmaker began dancing around, trying frantically to rid her clothing of the moogle that was now flying around inside of it. In her fit, she fell backwards onto the pot of hot coals used to boil the tea. She cried out in pain and anger and ran for the door, Yuffie hurriedly chasing after her.

"I think it's going well, don't you?" Granny Hui commented to Yuffie's mother. Suddenly, the matchmaker came running outside, screaming for her life.

"Get it out! Get it out! GET IT OUT!"

Yuffie desperately tried to grab at the frantic woman, but instead grabbed her dress. A loud ripping sound silenced Scarlet. The moogle flew out casually and landed on a statue nearby. Everything was suddenly eerily quiet.

The Matchmaker's eyes were firm with anger as she turned to face Yuffie, who was now standing with her mother.

"You are a DISGRACE! You may look like a bride, but you will NEVER bring your family honor!" she yelled furiously before marching back inside.
