Yuffie laughed when she had met Shelke for 'the first time'.

She would never have expected her to wear a skirt and a pink shirt.

"So what's up little girl? How's it shaking?" asked Yuffie, putting an arm around the younger girl, grinning Yuffie-like.

"Nothing is shaking…" Shelke stated, staring at Yuffie with calculating eyes.

"Geez, it's just a way of asking 'how's it been' except more slangy-er," Yuffie sighed, putting a hand to her forehead. "You take things too seriously. Lighten up a bit! It's like there's a stick shoved up your-! VINCE! What's happenin'?! How's it been ol' chap?!" Yuffie suddenly boomed, waving frantically to the gunman who had just entered the bar. She still had her arm hooked around Shelke though.

Vincent stared at Yuffie with what she would call an amused stare.

"It's been fine…" Vincent mumbled, stepping towards the two girls.

"See! That's how you reply to it!" Yuffie exclaimed into Shelke's ears, which the girl was obviously annoyed at.

"I see… How's it… Been shaking Vincent Valentine?" asked Shelke, surprising both people and causing Yuffie to burst out laughing after a momentary silence.

"OH GOD!!! HAHAHA!!!" Yuffie laughed, feeling like she was about to bust a gut. Vincent was smiling and chuckling at the girl while Yuffie pointed a finger at her, attempting to get the attention of anyone near-by.

"TIFA!!! TEEEEEFFFFFAAAA!!! OH MY GOD!!!! HAHAHA"

"What is it Yuffie?! Did Marleen have an accident?!" cried Tifa, running out of the kitchen, arms full of suds, face showing concern for the girl. She stopped panicking after noticing that there was no fire. Nope, just Yuffie rolling on the ground, her arms wrapped around her stomach while laughing wildly and Vincent chuckling while Shelke stared at both of them, a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Did I, uh, miss something?" asked Tifa, looking from Yuffie, to Vincent, then to Shelke.

"OH MY GOD! YES YOU DID!!! HAHAHA," Yuffie kept laughing, standing up and stumbling again, bursting out into more fits of laughter.

"Oh gods… CLOUD! GET IN HERE! I THINK WE NEED THE TRANQUILIZERS AGAIN!!!"

Author's Notes: When I wrote "met Shelke for the first time" I meant that when Yuffie actually got to meet Shelke for real. Not when they had fought or that when she had slapped her, or ANY of the events in DOC, like while in the air-ship or anything like that, but for REAL. Like "HI! MY NAME IS THE GREAT NINJA YUFFIE KISARAGI!" intro and everything.
