'A Countdown To Victory'
"Howdy! What can I do you for?"
"Ew! I would never have sex with a guy! Unless of course my life depended on it, which it doesn't, so you can just go to hell!", snarled Chris.
"...I-I was just welcomin' you to our village. I-I'm sorry if I offended you, sir."
Chris had just arrived in the small mining town of North Corel. A friendly villager had greeted him upon his arrival, but Chris had taken things the wrong way.
"Oh, uh, no, my bad.", slurred Chris. "I thought you were talkin' about... uh, nevermind. Look, I'm pretty tired. Is there any place I can rest up in this town?"
"Don't ask me! What would I know?! Damn, you're a complete jackass, mister!", growled the villager as he turned and walked away. "Ergh, some people!"
"...Homo!", Chris thought to himself.
Suddenly, he was unexpectedly pushed to the ground by someone standing behind him. He struggled to get back up, but a force came down upon him, pinning him down.
"Argh! Argh! P-Please, don't kill me! I didn't do nothing!"
"I got a few folks from Midgar that might disagree with you there, Chris.", said a familiar voice.
"Y-Yuffie?!", Chris exclaimed. "Geez, what the hell are you doin'?! Lemme go, girl!"
"Not until you hand over the gil you swiped from Seventh Heaven!", shouted Yuffie.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about! I... Argh!", he screamed as Yuffie twisted his arm. "Y-You're with them, aren't you?! The people I saw back in the Costa Del Sol?!"
"Yeah! And despite everything, they're nice people, and they don't deserve this kind of treatment! So hand over the gil and I might just let you go! Hey, you wouldn't wanna argue with that gun-arm dude, would ya?!"
"O-Okay! It-Its in my pocket! In the brown bag!"
Yuffie put her hand inside Chris's pocket and began feeling around for the bag.
"Oooh! You've still got the touch Yuffie! Yeah! Yeah, you're a bad girl!"
"Shut up!", Yuffie yelled. "There! Got it!"
She pulled the brown bag out of his pocket. She gave it a little shake and could hear the gil rattling around inside it.
"Success! Now, get the hell outta here, and never bother my friends again!"
She leapt off Chris and made a dash back toward Mt. Corel. Chris picked himself up off the ground.
"Yuffie, can you ever forgive me?"
"Forgive you?!", Yuffie bloated. "You're seriously warped. I don't want anything to do with you ever again."
"Come on! Surely you've done a little light handed thievery in your time?"
"...No comment!"
"Alright. You go back to your friends. I bet they'll be real happy with you. But remember this, Yuffie... We're not so different after all."
"Hey, I'm nothin' like you!", Yuffie scowled.
"If you say so.", sighed Chris. "Oh well, I guess I'll see ya around."
"Not if I can help it!", she mumbled.
Chris walked off into North Corel. Yuffie darted off back over the mountain. She looked down at the bag of gil in her hand, and opened it. Her mouth dropped in awe.
"Holy crap! There's about 30,000 gil in here!", she checked her surroundings before inspecting the bag once more. "...I could afford lots of shiny new materia with this cash! Oh, all those different kinds... Magic... Support... Summon...!"
She gave a sneaky grin, and was just about to turn around and walk back into North Corel when a cold hand gripped her shoulder.
"Argh! Don't touch me!", she squealed as she swung her head round to face the person. "Barrett?!"
"Hey, Yuffie. Wha's up?", Barrett laughed. "You went off on your own. We were worried about you."
"...Why?"
Just then, Cloud, Tifa and Aeris dropped from above. They landed on their feet in front of Barrett and Yuffie.
"Woah! Quite a drop from high up there! We all okay?", said Cloud.
"Yep! Fine, Cloud!", giggled Tifa and Aeris.
"Yuffie, why did you run off without us? That was very irresponsible of you.", whailed Barrett.
"...You guys were drunk.", she quickly hid the bag of gil behind her back. "I-I had to catch that Chris dude, with or without your help. I couldn't let him get away with our gil, could I?"
"So, did you find him yet?", wondered Aeris.
"N-No, not yet. B-But I think he went that way.", she pointed toward North Corel.
"Corel?", Barrett questioned. "C'mon, we have to stop that loser from gettin' any further! Let's go!"
"Y-You guys go on ahead. I-I'll catch up with you later."
"Are you okay, Yuffie? You seem a little off-edge.", Cloud slurred.
"I-I'm fine!"
"Wait! What's that you're hiding behind your back?", Tifa frowned.
"N-Nothing! Just nothing!"
"Don't look like nothin'!", Barrett spun her around which caused her to drop the brown bag of gil she was carrying. "Our gil!"
"H-How did that get there, I wonder?!", Yuffie gurgled.
"Yuffie! It was you all along wasn't it! Y-You stole our gil!", growled Tifa as she picked up the bag. "And all this time you led us to believe that that poor Chris had taken it! How horrible!"
"I-I didn't steal it, honest! I-I found it on the rails just now!", she paniced.
"You've got some damn explainin' to do!", howled Barrett.
"Gotta catch me first!"
Yuffie pushed past the party, knocking Aeris off the edge of the train tracks. The ancient hurtled towards the hard ground below at an alarming rate. A few seconds later a gigantic crash was heard.
"Oh my God! They killed Aeris!", screamed Tifa.
"You beasts!", yelled Cloud.
"Dammit!", Barrett scowled in anger. "Oh well, at least we got our money back! Let's go celebrate back at the Costa Del Sol with a nice cool beer!"
"Yeah!", cheered Cloud and Tifa.
