A/N: Happy Birthday Yuffie!

Ew, it's Monday. There's nothing worse than having your birthday on Mondays. It's just horrible. Not only is my birthday on a Monday, but my ankles sprained. Yeah, this year definitely isn't my year. The only good part about today is that no one knows that my birthday is today. How embarrassing would that be, having a sprained ankle on your birthday and having everyone pity you! Gawd I can imagine it now. Yuck. Double Yuck. I do wish I was at the Gold Saucer playing some snow boarding games. Those are always fun. Oh well there's next year.

"Yuffie!"

"Hm?"

"Vincent's here to see you."

Blink. Blink. Vincent. Here. See. Me. Wow my brain needs to learn to work faster. Smooth Yuffie, in your hurry to see the man of your dreams you have stumbled down the stairs and landed on your face. Right in front of him.

"What're you smiling about broody? I've got a sprained ankle and I just fell on my face. And it's your fault!"

"…My Fault?"

"Yeah, it's your fault. You cursed me with your witchcraft."

"…I don't recall doing such a thing."

"I know, I was joking."

"Ah… I may have not cursed you but I bought you a birthday present."

"…W-why? It's not my birthday!" Awe crap, I told Vinnie when we played 20 questions in-the-not-dark.

"…"

"Eh, did you hit your head Vince? Let's go outside! For a walk!"

"You can barely walk down the stairs…"

"Did I say walk? I meant you can carry me!"

"So you see, they can't know it's my birthday!"

"…what is your reason again?"

"Because it's embarrassing!"

"…"

"You may have nerves of steal, and never blush. But I am quite the opposite of you! I blush a lot. Hell! I'm blushing now because I feel really dorky."

"Hmph. Here."

"What is it?"

"…"

"Right, birthday present. Gotcha."

"Now you're catching on."

"Who knew you could be so sarcastic, brood!"

"…"

"What? Would you rather me call you Chi-Mo?"

"Chi-Mo?"

"Short for child molester."

"…"

"Wow I don't think I've ever seen you so pale before in my life. Are you alright?"

"…"

"I was joking!"

"…ah."

"WOW! It's that one picture we took together! You got it framed! Eee! Vinnie!"

"…yes?"

"Come over here so I can hug you."

"…"

"I mean- OWE my foot. Come over here, so I can trick you into getting hugged."

"As you wish."

"Thanks Vinnie. It's going on my nightstand. And I'm going to look at it 24/7. who knows I might get it photocopied a billion times and have all the walls in my room covered in it. How about that?"

"…That would be…"

"Would be?"

"Expensive."

"And here I thought you were going to complement me. Sheesh."

"I apologize." He says.

"Yeah well, you didn't tell anyone about my birthday before… did you?" I say.

"…"

"I don't like that smirk…"

"Happy birthday you fuggin brat."

"Stingy old man! Vince why'd you tell him of all people!?"
