Author's Note: Happy Halloween! I came up with the idea of this chapter after seeing The Nightmare Before Christmas at the movie theater (in 3D!) and listening to the soundtrack. Yeah I'm a Nightmare Before Christmas freak.

Once again it was a lovely Friday night. That morning Yuffie had gotten the wonderful idea of seeing a movie since it was going to be Halloween soon. And what better movie to go see than the re-release of the Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D? She had walked around school recruiting people to go see it with her. Of course Reno would be there. She also got Aeris, Zack, Cloud, Tifa, Elena, Tseng, Rude, and Cid to go. She figured Tseng went only because Elena would be there and Rude was probably going because he had nothing better to do. She had no idea why Cid was going. She thought a grumpy pilot like him would not enjoy a funny movie like that. Maybe he did like movies like that but would never admit it.
Yuffie spent that night primping before the movie. Even though she would be in a dark theater, she still wanted to look nice for Reno. She wished she could have invited Kadaj and Yazoo, but that would have been weird for everyone else since they were supposed to be the enemy. Oh well, maybe next time. She heard a knock at the door and smiled. "Coming!" she called. Her little black kitten looked up at her and meowed. She bent down and stroked her hair. "Be good, Mei," she said skipping out of her house. Reno waved to her as she ran to his car. She waved back and hopped in. They exchanged a quick kiss and sped off to the movie theater.
After the movie theater everyone else was already there waiting for Reno and Yuffie. The last couple had finally arrived and met everyone outside the theater.
"Y'all are late," Cid pointed out.
"Oh, be quiet," Yuffie said sticking her tongue out.
"So how many of you have actually seen this movie?" Reno asked.
Himself, Yuffie, and Elena raised there hands. Only the three of them had actually seen the movie before.
"Ohhh…..you all are in for a treat!" Yuffie beamed. "'Cause this is the best movie ever!"
"Well then let's buy our tickets and go inside," Tifa said.
They all pulled out there gil and walked up to pay for their tickets. The lady handed them their tickets and they walked inside.
"Reno! Buy me a drink and popcorn!" Yuffie whined.
"Okay, okay," he said.
Tifa and Aeris giggled. Cloud and Zack exchanged glances and decided it best to also buy their girlfriend's something to drink and popcorn. Tseng, Elena, Rude, and Cid did not buy anything for themselves. What was the point of going to a movie without having a drink and popcorn? Oh well. After getting their snacks they went into the auditorium. It was pretty packed inside. There were lots of couples there and no children. Reno and Yuffie were thankful for this. They hated it when kids talked or screamed throughout movies.
They picked their seats in a aisle in the middle. Perfect seats. No too close, not too far. Yuffie, however, noticed something as she picked her seat. In the top row she saw Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz. They each had a small bag of popcorn in their hands and had their 3D glasses on. She smirked at the sight. Loz looked like a complete idiot with the big, round green glasses while Kadaj and Yazoo looked kind of cute with them on. Yazoo was the first to noticed Yuffie and the gang. He nudged Kadaj and pointed to her. The two smiled and waved and she waved back. She smiled and sat down in between Tifa and Reno.
After the trailers revealing upcoming Christmas movies and movies about penguins (which the women went crazy over) the movie was finally about to start. A orange jack-in-the-box appeared on the screen.
"The movie will start in three….." said the announcer's voice.
Yuffie and Reno started poking at the air as it looked like the number three was coming at them.
"Two……"
Yuffie giggled and kept poking, but then jumped when a pumpkin came shooting out of the box. Reno laughed at her which resulted in a hard smack in the side.
It was now half was into the movie. Reno and Yuffie would laugh loudly and obnoxiously during certain scenes while the other women smiled in a way you could tell they were enjoying the movie. Everyone now and then Cloud, Zack, Cid, and Tseng would grin during the funny scenes. They seemed to enjoy the characters Lock, Shock, and Barrel which were bratty little kids who was always up to no good. Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo seemed to be enjoying the movie quite a bit. Though Yazoo would get startled every now and then. He was not quite used to 3D movies.
Loz glanced down during a part he did not really care about and it was then he noticed his enemy: Yuffie Kisaragi. His lips formed into an evil grin. He puts red hots into his mouth and slobbered it up the best he could. He spat one as if his mouth was a pellet gun. It hit her directly on the center of the back of her head. She jumped and ran her hand through her head.
"Eek!" she squealed as she felt the sticky piece of candy.
He sniggered and spat another one hitting her hand.
"Okay jackass!" she screamed standing up and turning around.
Loz put his attention back to the movie and pretended nothing happened. Her face turned red from anger and embarrassment as everyone stared at her like she was crazy. She huffed and sat back down. Loz sniggered again and spat another one at her.
"Bloody hell!" Yuffie screamed standing up again. This time she noticed who was doing it. She glared and Loz and flipped him off. She would get him back after the movie. She sat down and Reno put his arm around her shoulder to calm her down.
Meanwhile Elena was about to kill Cid with all his questions. He kept asking questions like, "Was the children going to like Jack's presents?" and "Is Oogie Boogie gonna kill Santa Claus?" She kept hissing at him to shut up and keep watching, but he continued to ask annoying questions. He finally shut up when she threatened to shoot him in the head with her gun. When she was angry, she would probably do it.
The only quiet ones seemed to be Aeris, Zack, Cloud, Tifa, Tseng, and Rude. They were getting annoyed at the others. Especially Yuffie's screaming at whoever was behind her. They did not bother to turn around and look.
The movie came to an unfortunate end. Everyone spilled out of the auditorium and into the lobby. Reno and Yuffie was exchanging which parts of the movie they though were the best and started asking the others which parts they liked.
"It was all good," Tifa said. "But I'm tired so we gotta go. We car pooled here."
"Bah you all are no fun," Yuffie said. "Friday night is for staying up!"
"Then you do that," Cloud said.
"Fine I will!" she exclaimed.
"So you later," Aeris waved following Tifa and Cloud.
"Good movie," Zack said. "I may just have to see it again."
"That's a good idea," Yuffie smiled.
"So, Yuffie, what do ya wanna do now?" Reno asked.
"Let's go roll some houses!" she answered.
"No," he answered.
"Egg houses?"
"No."
"Spray paint Loz's motorcycle pink?"
"Yes!"

Reno and Yuffie drove to the nearest Wal-mart to get a couple of cans of pink spray paint. They debated on whether or not to get baby pink or hot pink. They finally settled on both. They agreed to paint the entire bike baby pink with hot pink smiley faces. After checking out and receiving a warm "Happy Halloween" from the cashier they took off to the silver haired brothers' house. They were glad to see all the lights were turned out which meant they were all asleep.
They got out of the car and walked up to the garage. Yuffie sniggered as she used her amazing thieving skills to open the garage door. She switched the light on and they walked inside. Luckily they knew which bike was Loz's and got to work.
The following morning screams could be heard in the neighborhood as Loz saw his baby pink motorcycle with hot pink smiley faces on it. It looked like something that would belong to one of the pink ladies from Grease.
"Damn you, Kisaragi!" Loz screamed very, very loud.
"Teehee," Yuffie smiled as she looked out her bedroom window. Halloween pranks sure was fun.
