Yuffie was dreaming again. It was late at night and Yuffie, the Descendant of the Shinobi, Cloud and Cid were taking a rest at Cloud's Villa at Costa Del Sol. When Cloud had first bought the Villa, Yuffie thought it was a very bad idea. Oh, she had tried to talk him out of it, all right:

Yuffie: "300,000 gil?! It's insane! Think of all the materia we could buy for that!"

She tried use logic on him. Why did they need to pay 300,000 gil just for a place to sleep? They had plenty of places they could sleep for free and those places that they couldn't were willing them to offer them insanely low prices. She just didn't see the point of this.

Yuffie: "Gawd, come on Cloud! This guy is obviously just trying to hustle us! I could just die!"

Cloud bought it anyway. The best excuse that he was able to come up with was that he always wanted a villa of his own.

Yuffie wasn't so sure now. It may have been a rip, but the bed sure was comfortable, even more comfortable than the one they found in that dive in the Forgotten City. It was that bed she was sleeping on that night, as she lay there dreaming. She was onboard the sunken Gelnika, fighting alongside Cloud and Cid. They had spent the past half hour there, morphing enemies into various stat-boosting potions. Well, actually, "they" was a bit of a stretch. Yuffie's superior skills, speed and hit rate enabled her to morph enemies at a far faster rate than any of the others. She sometimes felt like her abilities weren't appreciated, that she wasn't getting her cut and she was just being used. In fact, she was arguing that right then in her dream...

Cid woke up. #@$!, he thought. Looks like I won't be getting much sleep tonight. He grabbed his pack of cigarettes and headed for the bar, trying to be as quiet as possible. He figured that even though he couldn't sleep, it wouldn't really be fair to wake the others.

Yuffie woke up. She looked over at Cloud, who she was getting more and more worried about. There were now only four days left until Meteor was scheduled to strike the planet. Personally, Yuffie was beginning to wonder just what exactly it was that Cloud was waiting for. If she didn't know better, she would have thought he was scared to face Sephiroth. She shook the thought out of her mind. No, that couldn't be it. But just what was wrong with him? And how come it seemed like everytime they went for one of these naps, it was morning before they even knew it. Yuffie turned around and noticed that Cid was gone. He probably couldn't sleep either, she thought. She got up, grabbed her Conformer and headed out of Costa Del Sol...
