A/N: I think this one will be about Christmas shopping.(So most of us can relate.) A Yuffie/Vincent fluff oneshot thing. Yes, I am a slave to the Yufftine fandom! -Siiiigh.- Anyways, this one is about Yuffie, who wants to get the perfect present for Vincent, ends up meeting him at the shopping market. This one is after AC, but before DoC again.

Yuffie loved gifts. She loved shiny things. Like, say, materia. And those not-so-subtle hints of "get me materia for christmas!" to all her friends always made shopping for her easy. But for Yuffie, who was hardly given even subtle hints for some, shopping was a much more tedious task. And that's what was running through her head when she was going along the aisle of a supermarket. Already through her mental list, she had gotten a figurine of Cloud to stick on his desk, Tifa some nice perfume, Red some new feathers, Barret and Marlene a cute sign to hang in their house, Cid had gotten a model airship of the Shera, Reeve would receieve some accessories for Cait Sith, and she had even gotten so many coupons for the Turks for booze, she was surprised how she had gotten those. She did have connections. Even for Rufus, she had gotten a gift, and it was a mug that said "I hate mondays". It was absolutely perfect.

But of course, she was missing one member, a dear dear friend of hers. Vincent Valentine. What did she get vampire-like ex-turks? She had been thinking of a different color headband, but of course, when would Vincent ever change colors? Maybe a new gun? Yeah okay, he wouldn't give up the gun of his ex-dead-girlfriend. Yuffie sighed, growing increasingly frustrated.

But it all faded out when she saw said person in the same store, looking through aisles. He looked very uninterested, but in his hand, Yuffie noted a list. Looking from her distance, which was behind of him at a distance, she could make out her name, and he was now standing in a row of hairpins. Ooh, she liked that pink rose on--

Speak of the devil, that was the one he picked up and crossed out her name with! Great! But Yuffie was still stuck with the dilemma of getting him something. Looking around, she noted he had stopped in front of a rack of picture frames before walking on, shrugging. Aha! Super sneaky Yuffie had found it.

Walking up to one of the frames, she decided to ask Cloud for a copy of their group picture. Oh, how genius she was.

Picking up the item, she cheerfully skipped to the line, whistling a tune, a bounce in her step, a sm--

"Yuffie?" a soft voice said her name. Whipping aruond, she noted the tall man and smiled.

"V-Vinne! Hey! What'cha up to?" she asked, hiding the basket behind her.

"I was looking for some ammunition for my gun," he answered, looking out to the front of the line. Yuffie snickered at this.

"Oh come on, why would they sell ammunition at 'Friendly Mart'?" she asked with a wry smile. Vincent, looking amused, looked down at her and shrugged.

"The things I've heard had me thinking otherwise," he stated.

"Anyways, Vinnie, what didja get me?" she inquired, pretending to take a peek into his basket.

"A cork," he said with a shrug. Yuffie, who was mildly surprised at this answer and joke, pretended to pout.

"Har har, Vinnie-boy. I'll have you know, I got you--"

"That picture frame?"

"No, this figurine of Cloud, duh," she shot back with a roll of her eyes.

Vincent gave a small inhaling of air and let it out quickly. Or what one would call a 'laugh', if you will.

Yuffie, mildly shocked, grinned.

"You're just in a good mood today, right?"

"...At first no," he said with a shrug. Shrugging seemed to be the only reaction Yuffie ever got out of him.

"Oh? What changed it?" she asked with a nudge from an elbow.

"A skipping ninja," he answered back as walked in front of her. Yuffie, more than shocked now, only watched him walk in front of her, and put his items onto the moving belt. Until...

"Hey, you jerk! You cut me!"

A/N: D'aww. Vincent is such a sneaky lovable smexy... Err, anyways. I liked this one. Although it was a bit long. Give me ideas for the next one?
