Awaiting The Answer


That and one other thing.

The black materia, finished Aeris.

Shortly after the two parties were reunited again, they engaged to a deep conversation about Sephiroth and the black materia. Yuffie as usual had no interest in the long boring chit chat. Cid looked as bored just as she was, considering that he was already asleep. Vincent stood by the corner, listening into the conversation but yet never said anything.

What that's it? I'm going to bed. Besides, I gotta change my outfit. The ninja stalked off and headed up the red carpet stair case. She slipped her right hand into her pocket and pulled out the key to her room. Luckily, there was a paper attached to each door, indicating which ones they belong to.

Ah right here! Yuffie spotted her name clearly. She also noticed that Vincent's room was right next to hers.

Oh gawd......will this madness ever end?

She slipped the small key into the lock and flickered on the light as she walked in. The room was just like any normal furnished room with a bed, desk, and a sofa.

Man, what an exhausting night, the girl spoke tiredly to herself.

It was then when she realized that she was still carrying Vincent's cape.

Darn...why do I keep forgetting to give this back to him

A pleasant aroma escaped from the cloak even though it's been through the rain, mud, and some sticky stuff, supposable gum that she accidentally leaned on at the entrance of Gold Saucer. Inhaling the smell once more, she lazily threw the cape on her bed. Suddenly she felt like she was missing an item. The ninja was lost in her thoughts, trying to remember what she was forgetting.

Hmm...there was the key to my room, my bag, the cape...what was the other thing...Yuffie gasped when it suddenly hit her. The moogle!

She hastily lifted the cape up from the bed again and checked beneath the covers. When the item wasn't there, she threw out all her contents in her bag and scattered it on the floor.

How can I lose the poor moggy?

Frustrated that she still cant find the small doll, she backtracked every step from her current location up to the door.

That's strange, I was pretty sure I had it with me. Where could it be?

A gentle knock immediately distracted her search.



Opening the door, Yuffie was surprised that it was Vincent.

Hiya Vinnie! Wha'cha doing here?

You dropped this, he said simply as he lifted up the doll in her view.

Ahh!! Oh so there you are!! Yuffie smiled and retrieved her toy. Her face turned a light shade of red in minor embarrassment. Umm thank you.

You're quite welcome. And with that, he walked off to his own room.

You bad bad moogle!! Geez!! You know how much trouble you caused? She scolded at the small mog who stared innocently at her.

Aww......now how can I be mad at that adorable looking face? She carefully leaned on the pillow and tucked him in. I'm gonna go take a shower and change ok? So don't you be running off again!

Yuffie gathered her belongings and head into the small bathroom. After fifteen minutes of the tranquil water, she slipped into a fresh pair of garments consisting of a new pink tank top and blue shorts. After combing her messy hair, she too slip under the cover next to and turned off the lights.

The vibrant girl gave the doll a small kiss and whispered a good night but simply stood wide awake. She stared blankly into the deep void.

Man...what time is it?

Yuffie glanced at the small clock on the desk.

What the? It's only 10?!

Well Vinnie...it looks like its just me and you.

The small moogle simply laid there.

I was pretty sure I was really tired before, babbled on the girl. And here I am...all awake.

Silence.

Man......I'm borrreddddd.

Then a crazy idea abruptly appeared in her mind.

What if.........I go hangout right now in Gold Saucer and play all the games I want. It wont be much fun with myself though. Hmm...maybe I can bring someone along with me. Tifa? Nah...she's probably doing something of her own. Aeris? Nah...she got the thing with the temple to worry about. Barret? Cid? No way!!! Cloud? Eh...he's probably tired. Red? Cait Sith? Oh please......since when did I get so attached to pets? Hmm......Vincent? Who am I kidding? Vincent and fun don't mix. Cant remember the last time Vincent had fun. Always so gloomy and touchy...but then again, there's always a first time for everything.

Hey Vinnie, she asked the mog next to her. What do you think of me and Vincent going out?

Wait a minute......going out!? That don't sound right!!

Wait!! I mean going out as in hanging out and stuff, she quickly covered up her last statement as if she was talking to a real person.

The tiny figure next to her obviously returned no answer.

Hmm...how am I going to go ask him? I cant just go up to him and say Hey, you wanna hang out with me tonight? I need some type of excuse...

Her eyes suddenly fixed on the cape at the edge of the bed.

Hehehehe...now I got the perfect plan!!

Yuffie quickly jolted out of her bed and carried the cape into the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and let the cool water spill out. Then she placed the cape into the sink, trying to scrub off the sticky stuff and mud. After washing it for a good five minutes, the cape looked good as new.

Ah perfect, she complimented herself. I'll just use this as my cover up. I'll go into his room and give him back his cape and before I leave...I'll ask him if he wants to do something fun tonight. Nyk nyk nyk

The anxious ninja hastily fled her room and stood nervously in front of Vincent's.

Here goes nothing............
