Midnight Fun

She gently knocked on his door while clothing his cape tightly.

No answer.

Damnit, he must be asleep or something

After waiting for two minutes, Yuffie was going to walk back to her room when the door suddenly opened. She was still surprised to see that Vincent didn't change his garments. He was still in his damp dark outfit.

Uh hi!



She squeezed her body through the narrow cracked and walked in.

I-I just wanted to return this to you. I washed it so its good as new again.

Thank you was his simple answer.

He was going to gesture her out the door when Yuffie suddenly turned back again.

Oh yeah, another thing.

What is it?

If you're not busy or anything......do you want to hang around Gold Saucer? I mean it'll be pretty fun!!

He remained in his stoic expression. We should probably get some rest, he said at last.

the girl whispered disappointingly. I knew he was going to say that! Although she was clear that Vincent wasn't interested, she still didn't give up.

What if it was only for a little while?

Why are you so eager to ask me to go with you?'

Uh....cuz...the others are busy and I cant sleep!

There was a long pause between them. Vincent hung his cold appearance while Yuffie anxiously awaited for an answer.





Say something. The ninja was becoming a little impatient during the silence. She decided to give one more try before going back to her room rejected.

I really think we should get some rest. You can go ask someone else, he said coolly.

Oh gawd...men these days!

Suddenly, something caught Yuffie's attention. Hanging from the man's belt was a black velvet pouch. The pouch can only contain one thing inside. Materia!! She grinned evilly to herself and then thought of her wicked plan.

Faster than the speed of lightning, she snatched the pouch with swift agility.

Ha! You'll get this back after you have fun with me tonight, she laughed. Yuffie knew she was being a again but she couldn't help it. She was desperate to do something else instead of lying in that boring room all alone, talking to a stuff moogle who she could never win an answer back from.

Yuffie, please hand that back, the gunman spoke calmly.

She giggled at his plead. Hmmm....lets see what we have in here! She open the small bag and gleamed happily at the orbs. Wow! Some nice materia you got here! Lets see...restore, heal, Ifrit, bolt...

Vincent swooped his hand to retrieve his belonging but the ninja was too fast. she jumped back from his door step and into the hall.

Now! What do you say Vinnie?



Oh come on!! Two hours is all I'm asking.



How about one and half?

Vincent sighed. He knew they could be arguing about this all night and still not retrieve his materia from the girl's cunning moves.

One hour, no more and no less.

Alright mister!! Deal! She threw the cape that he was holding on to the drawers and tugged on his arms, pulling him out of the room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ah welcome! As you know, its Enchantment Night! We're putting up a show that is played by our 100th couple! If only you guys had only been here sooner, you would've made it...but anyhow, enjoy the show, greeted the man at the entrance of the Event Square.

Darn! If that Vincent hadn't stalled time back there, we could've been on stage right now...Somehow...I don't even care about us referring to as a couple.

Come on Vinnie! She pulled him to the bench in the center. Lets sit here.

They relaxed while the light dimmed. A bright new aura glowed on the stage.

Hmm...I wonder who the 100th couple is...maybe we know them?

Vincent simply ignored her question and sat stoically.

Shh!! It's starting, hushed Yuffie even though the gunman next to her never released one word.

"Long, long ago...an evil shadow appeared over the peaceful kingdom of Galdia... Princess Rosa was just kidnapped by the Evil Dragon King Valvados. What will become of her?Just then, the legendary hero, Alfred, appears!!" cried the narrator.

The actors for the first scene danced on stage.

Something quickly caught Vincent's attention. Is that Cloud? he whispered.

Huh? Hey! You're right! Its is Cloud, said Yuffie rather loudly.

hissed the people behind her.

Oh shh yourself!

My......kids these days can be such brats. They totally ruin everything, the man whispered to the person next to him.

Vincent, however, heard this barely audible statement with his keen ears. He turned around and gave both of them a cold glare that read if they don't want any trouble, they better keep their mouths shut. The man fearfully shrank back into his seat and continued watching the play. Yuffie was too oblivious to realize what just happened. She kept focusing her attention on her friend on stage.

Hehehe...Cloud looks so funny! I wonder who he came with.



Hey Vinnie? You want some cracker jacks? Yuffie asked.

The question struck him dumbfounded. Cracker jacks? Where did you get them from? he asked curiously.

Well I couldn't resist a grab from that boring vender when he kept talking about the show.

I could've just paid for it...

No way! Whats the fun of that? Besides, I like sneaky business! Hehehe



So you want some?

To tell the truth, Vincent was a bit hungry. The party hadn't eaten for quite awhile so he simply nodded in a response for yes.

Here ya go. She handed him the small box of snack which he accepted gratefully.

Thank you. He open the lid gently and gracefully slipped his hand inside and devoured the tasty treat. He slipped his hand inside again until he felt something hard at the bottom of the box. He pulled out a small plastic ruby ring that reminded him much of his own eyes.

He nudged Yuffie and handed her the small jewelry.

Aww!! Whats this?

I found it inside the box.

Hah! I guess they still make these silly prizes. She slid the plastic band on her ring finger and held out her hand for Vincent to marvel at. The plastic ruby spawned tiny rays of light every time Yuffie moved her hand under the dim light.

"Oh what is going to happen next...! Oh... Legendary hero... look!"

Suddenly, the evil dragon appeared on stage. "Gaaaaaaah! I am the Evil Dragon King... Valvados! I have not harmed the Princess... I have been expecting... you!"

The princess turned out to be Tifa. Yuffie suddenly felt really stupid for telling Vincent that everyone else was too busy to go with her when Cloud and Tifa sneaked out right in front of their eyes. Nevertheless, Yuffie cheered for her friends.

Hey!! Cloud! Tifa! she yelled.

This time, the people in the back did not interrupt her.

Cloud and Tifa looked at the audience, finding the source that had call their names. When their eyes met the two in the middle, they both began to grow red in embarrassment. Poor Cloud even started stuttering in nervousness.

laughed Yuffie. Hmm...I wonder how things would've turned out if me and Vincent performed. I'll be the loud and dazzling Princess while he'll be the boring Alfred who stands there like a statue. Yuffie snickered at that thought.

Whats so funny?

Oh I was just thinking.



Well if you must know, I was just thinking of how the play will turned out if we were the actors.







You know I feel real bad for what I did before. So if you want, you can head back to your room and I'll just hand you back the materias.

Vincent thought for a moment. That's alright. I haven't been this much entertained for awhile. I think I'll stay a little longer, he finally said at last.

Really? OK then!

Their attention turned back to Cloud on stage who was now kneeling on one knee in front of the Princess. He then took Tifa's hand and kissed it gently.

"Cloud... I mean, Alfred..." gasped Tifa.

"Arrggaahhh!! Curses...... The power of... love!!" The evil dragon disappeared off the stage.

"Oh... look! Love has... triumphed! Now let's all return... And celebrate, the King cried out loud.

All the actors danced off stage. Oh, how profound the power of love... And so the legendary hero Alfred and our story live on happily ever after, concluded the narrator. The dimmed lights turned on again. Vincent stood up, ready to leave while Yuffie cheered and clapped with the others.

Hahahaha! I cant wait to see Cloud and Tifa. Lets go wait for them outside ok? And then we can go to the Wonder Square!
