"Yuffie, we have to do something about this," said Vincent.
"Do something about what?" Yuffie cocked her head.
Vincent paused. "…Well, I think that it's for the best if you would give me your word never to trespass on my property again," he concluded.
Yuffie smiled nervously. "Why don't you just get even?" she suggested.
"Get…even…?"
"Yeah, you know, I kick your ass you kick mine, an eye for an eye, sweet revenge, all that stuff, ya know?" Yuffie elaborated. "That's what I do!"
"…Yes, actually, I think that might be a good idea, Yuffie," Vincent told her.
"Okay!" agreed Yuffie confidently.
Then she realized what she had just said. "Eep," she thought. "What have I gotten myself into????"

[The next morning:]
"Oh, good morning, Yuffie! Have some eggs and bacon," Tifa greeted the young woman warmly as Yuffie shuffled into the kitchen. The others were already clustered around the table, chewing, cutting, forking, and, er, lapping up their breakfasts, swapping stories, insults, and generally enjoying the beautiful morning. Sunlight streamed into the villa from the myriad crystal windows patterning the walls and bathed the entire household in gold. It really was a beautiful day. Then Yuffie noticed something: Vincent was not at the table.
"Ah! I plain forgot!" Tifa exclaimed, boffing her forehead lightly with her palm. "Yuffs, Vincent said to meet him at the south side of the beach after you've finished breakfast. He said he had something important to tell you," the teasing woman added with a wink.
"Eh?" Yuffie wondered. Suddenly she remembered. Get even…, she thought weakly.
"Eheheh, thanks Tif, I really appreciate it," Yuffie said, feigning cheerfulness. She gingerly sat down in her chair and started half-heartedly poking at her food.
*
Yuffie ran along the grassy lanes that bordered the beach, her eyes scanning the crowds of vacationers for a more distinct face. "That goddamn Valentine," she grumbled, "It's just like him. 'Hey, Yuffie, I'll be at the beach, but you might not recognize me because I'll be wearing a pink hat and Hawaiian muumuu…'" Suddenly getting a flash that image in her head, the girl nearly choked in her jogging attempts to find the man who seemed to be the possessor of her fate.
[45 minutes later]
"STUPID COLOR-BLIND ARROGANT ONE-HANDED VAMPIRE!!!" Yuffie screamed in exasperation, drawing wary looks from various passersby. Just then, she caught a glimpse of the elusive stupid color-blind vampire. Yuffie dropped her arms to her sides and gaped.
*
Vincent Valentine hadn't MEANT for this to happen. No, he certainly had NOT. But he couldn't do anything about the current situation except pray for some monstrous sea creature to suddenly loom out of the breakers and horribly mangle his attacker…
Vincent sighed. It was all Cloud's fault, yes, Cloud… He flexed his mechanical claws and swore bloody revenge.
[Six hours before]
Vincent rose from his slumber and got out of bed, automatically making the bed afterwards. Getting dressed, he headed towards his bathroom, then remembered that the water wasn't functioning there. Turning, he re-routed his course towards Cloud and Cait Sith's room.
Cloud pried his eyes open at the sound of insistent knocking. Mooching out of bed, he put on his blue fuzz slippers and shuffled to the door. He blinked. "Vincent?" he asked, surprised. "Whaddaya want…"
Vincent stared at Cloud's, er, "interesting" choice of footwear for a moment before replying. "My bathroom is non-operational," he explained. "It's your turn to let me use yours."
"…Oh yah," Cloud remembered, "Ookay, well, just help yourself, then Vincent…eh, Vincent?" He added as Vincent started in, "Why are you wearing that outfit?"
As usual, Vincent was garbed in red bandana, red cloak, black this, red that, red…red…red…
Vincent looked himself over. "This is what I always wear," he stated.
Cloud considered his words before speaking. "Well, you know, it's supposed to be around 115º today…you'll probably get heatstroke and die if you wear…that," he concluded.
"…Very well; you're probably right, Cloud. Thank you." And with that, Vincent stalked out of the room. "I'll be right back," he threw over his shoulder.
Cloud watched after him for a while, and then scratched his head. "Well, I'll just go back to sleep then," he muttered, starting for his bed.
[2 minutes pass…]
Vincent re-entered the room in…
Cait Sith (waking up): OH MY GOD AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I CAN'T TAKE IT!
He stopped abruptly when the Death Penalty was swiftly pointed at his head…heads…the cat head.
Vincent huffed into the bathroom and took care of his morning needs in short order.
[Two hours later]
"What'll you have?" asked a cheerful voice. "Startled," Vincent turned around and regarded the barkeep. "Water," he stated. The barkeep shrugged and filled a tall glass with ice water, sliding across the bar to Vincent, who nodded to him and handed over some G. Sipping his drink, the dark-haired man turned to watch the crowds of happy shouting people on the beach. He shook his head and tore his eyes away from the sight, forcing memories he did not want to relive from his mind…and met with a pair of bright purple eyes.
Vincent stared. "…"
In the bar stool next to him sat a voluptuous, scantily clad, GIGGLING young woman. Vincent portended his doom.
*
Yuffie stared with her mouth open: Not only was Vincent wearing a-a TANK TOP and JEAN SHORTS, but he had an exotically attractive woman attached to him!!!! She simply could not believe this. How DARE he ask her to come all the way here to be greeted with this?!?! In a huff, Yuffie crossed her arms and stomped toward the now doubly forsaken Vincent.
"VINCENT VALENTINE WHAT THE HELL!!!!"
Vincent shot his eyes over to see a wild, slightly tanned and hysterical Yuffie. (Not that she wasn't wild and hysterical all the time…)
By the gods I am damned, He acknowledged.
"Yuffie, it isn't-" He started, but just then the woman, who's name was Ellie, wrapped her arms around him and pouted. "Who's this kid, Vinvin? She's obviously not your girlfriend, I mean LOOK at her!!" demanded Ellie. Yuffie promptly exploded.
"WHAT?!?! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A KID!!!! YOU-YOU-SCARLET WOMAN!!!"
Everyone blinked. "Scarlet woman"???
The Wutai ninja headed over and grabbed Vincent, hauling him away from an amused barkeep and a loudly protesting Ellie, who just then noticed an unbelievably attractive man sitting around the corner.
"Well, hellooo there," she purred, sidling up beside him. "And what's your name?"
The man turned to her and grinned.
"Sephiroth," he answered.
