Wonder Square-Part II
Hmmmm? What's this? A snowboarding game!!
It looks like it's restricted, Vincent replied.
The arcade game was guarded by a frame of old chains. Jumpy as always, she lifted up the restrictions and examined the structure. It's not broken or anything. I don't get it, why cant we play with this?
Maybe because they shut it down for now.
Oh yeah?!
...Its better if we just leave it alone.
Yuffie said stubbornly. Her eyes gleamed at the screen with full admiration. Look how awesome it looks Vinnie!! I wanna play it.
We cant.
Look, you had your fun and now it's my turn, Yuffie argued. She quickly tossed her head around to make sure no body was looking. Then she slipped her slender form through the chains and delicately ran her fingers over the panels.
Yuffie, they'll catch us, Vincent called.
So go stand over there and make sure no one comes. The moment you see those employees, warn me immediately.
Like I said, it's only fair that I get to have fun to Vinnie!! Come on!! You can afford to be bad for once cant you?
she whined.
Come on, don't make me beg.
he said at last. Just hurry ok?
You got it!! Yuffie grinned at the man. She knew she could easily convince him. It's probably my charms. Nyk nyk nyk...
As soon as Vincent hurried over to the entrance of the second arcade room, Yuffie flickered on a few buttons with brought the screen into adjustment. Next she stepped onto the board in a realistic snowboarding way. Her deformed figure appeared on the screen as the panel beneath her started moving, very much like the bicycle game. This is so amazing!! Whoo!!
Vincent just plainly leaned against the wall and watched the girl have her fun. Seeing her happy sort of made him happy in a way. He couldn't remember the last time he had cheered up anyone's mood. All he was ever good for was making people drown with misery and grief but the sight of this girl dispelled most of his sinful life. Perhaps tonight wasn't such a bad idea after all...
He continued to watch her move cunningly and crying outloud with excitement. His stoic eyes never left her form until he was distracted with someone talking behind him.
Hey where's that noise coming from? It sounds alot like the new snowboarding game they shipped in a few days ago, a voice said.
That Larry! He never listens to anyone. I specifically told him not put it up for display. Lets go check it out, another voice responded.
Vincent drifted his stoic eyes to the source. Two men were walking towards them. he warned. Theres people coming. Quick, get out of there.
Yuffie who was too busy into the game never bothered looking up. The loud music totally drowned her ears.
Vincent tried again but it was too late.
What do you think you're doing Miss? one of the employees demanded angrily. He gripped Yuffie's wrists tightly and dragged her out while the other man shut down the functions of the game.
Oww! Umm...I...I was just testing? was her feeble excuse.
You know very well not to go into a restricted area so why on-
Excuse me, Vincent cut in. It was my fault.
they all exclaimed at once, Yuffie in particular.
It was my fault, he repeated again. I'm new to this place so I was wondering what that machine over there does so I told this girl to check it out for me.
Then why did she look like she was having so much fun then? the man challenged.
I guess she got a little carried away. I'll be glad to pay for any charges, offered Vincent.
The employees' eyes wandered to Vincent's holster, eying the deadly gun. Seeing this, they fearfully decided to dismiss this.
Uhh...you know what...on second thought, I'll just leave it like that. Dropping his grip on Yuffie, the two men backed away. So umm...youuu...can just...keep your money......and have a nice day! I mean night! Night!
Yuffie stared dubiously until they ran out of sight.
Does your wrist hurt? Vincent asked while picking up her arm gently that was a bit red and swollen.
No...I'm alright...really! She felt her face begin to flush again. Oh god...please let go of my arm...please let go...please let go...don't make me blush damnit!!
As if obeying her prayers, he nodded and let go. Are you sure?
Yeah I'm fine. Oh yeah...you didn't have to take the blame for me before you know.
......It was no big deal.
Of course it was! You saved my ass back there! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome......
Tugging on his sleeves, Yuffie dragged Vincent to another arcade game. Hmm...lets try this Mog game.
he replied plainly.
An animation flashed onto the display, revealing a small mushroom house near a tranquil stream. A mog then exited his house.
Aww!! Look at it!!! It's so adorable! Yuffie cried as the directions popped up.
That white thing looks familiar, commented Vincent.
Well duhhhh!! It's the stuffed toy you gave me.
I see.
Lets see...feed this thing some nuts to make him fly huh? Shouldn't be that hard. She quickly punched some buttons while Vincent looked from the back. After failing three times, Yuffie kicked the machine in frustration. Darn! How on earth are you suppose to make this thing fly. It's nearly impossible!!
May I try? Vincent asked dryly.
Huh? Oh sure, go ahead. She stepped out of the way allowing the man to step forward. I don't think you can do any better than be but you can always give it a shot. Vincent's gaze focused hardly on the screen. Yuffie loved the way how he concentrates so hard. His face darkens and his brows knit in such a unique yet beautiful way. His eyes were so calm yet so serious. His raven black hair only made him more attractive to his already sexy form.
God he's so gorgeous... Once again, Yuffie found herself staring at Vincent rather than the game. Her thoughts were interrupted by a victory prelude.
What?! You made him fly?! That's impossible!! How did you do it?!
Patience is the key...
Ah no wonder. You know me, I have absolutely no patience whatsoever.
The ending of the game was short and cute. Baby mogs filed out one after another.
Gosh...look at all of them! There's got to be like a million of them! Hehe...how cute...I wonder if thats how me and Vincent's mogs will turn out to be. Wait a minute!! Wait a damn minute!! US? MOGS? Geez, I must've forgot we were humans. Wait!! Why am I thinking of me and Vincent's kids. Oh god! Thats sick! Sick sick sick!! Stop thinking like that Yuffie!! Leviathan...help me! I think I'm going insaneeeee again!!
It's getting late, said Yuffie. We should be heading back now I guess.
He nodded and quietly walked out of the Wonder Square......
Author's Notes: A rather dull chapter. Sadly the next chapter is the final one. *sniffs* I'll try to get it typed as soon as possible but it might take awhile since I have loads of test in the way. =|
