Chapter 14: Is Love this Painful?
I was dreaming again. But of what?
Suddenly an image popped into my head.
Perry: What's this?
I saw Yuffie and Tifa. Leading me into some loud place. And I saw myself being shot and…it went black again.
Perry: What?
Perry!
Perry: Who?
PERRY!
Perry: Huh?
HEY, WAKE UP!
I opened my eyes quickly and saw Tifa and Yuffie standing over me.
Perry: What? What happened?
Yuffie: Tifa knocked you out and we brought you here.
Perry: Tifa! Why did you do such a thing?
Tifa: You weren't coming nicely.
Perry: And I'm not going nicely.
Standing I tried to leave but found I was on a tram high in the sky.
Tifa: No escape.
Yuffie: You're ours!
They kept talking with such grins. This isn't turning out to good.
Perry: What do you two want?
Tifa: We felt that you needed some love. So the two of us will provide you with some of it.
Perry: Did it require TWO of you?
Yuffie: Well, it would seem odd if you went with someone older than you.
Perry: Tifa's only about 3 years older than me.
Tifa: I didn't stop you from loving me before.
Perry: What are we doing?
Yuffie: Going to this big place and having a big party.
Tifa: Yeah. We need you to see us two helpless ladies around.
Perry: Oh, please.
Their idea was so stupid. But, I might as well.
The tram got off at the station on top. We were where I thought we might be heading.
Perry: Gold Saucer?
Yuffie: Yup. The three of us are gonna have some fun.
Approaching the ticket booth I paid for 3 tickets. It cost me almost all I had.
Tifa: You're so kind to pay for us.
Perry: I didn't have to?
Yuffie: no.
Perry: Damn!
Yuffie was on one side of me, and Tifa on the other.
They wrapped their arms around mine and rested their heads on their shoulders. I felt like Irvine when they left Galbadia Garden.
Perry: Where to first?
Yuffie: ohh! This Wonder Square looks like fun.
We went up to Wonder Square. I expected Cait Sith their but he wasn't yet.
Tifa: This place looks like fun!
Yuffie: Hey! An arm wrestling machine. Try it out Perry!
Perry: I'm not good enough…
Tifa: And why not?
Perry: Cause…
Yuffie: Do it and you'll get a surprise.
Perry: Fine!
Setting the machine up I set it to the Sumo because he was the easier one.
Tifa: Give it your all.
The thing was pretty strong. I was trying with all my might and it wouldn't move much. My veins were popping out.
Yuffie: Ohhhhhhhh!!!! Almost there!!!
With a sudden burst of energy I managed to overtake the machine and win. 20GP was my prize (may not be how much you get but who cares?)
Yuffie: That was great!!
Perry: Where's my prize?
The two girls nodded at one another and kissed me on both cheeks at the same time.
Perry: wha? Ah…
Tifa: What's wrong never been kissed before?
Perry: Just by you.
Tifa: Oh yeah.
Perry: You forgot! How could you?
Tifa: Oh, I'm sorry.
Perry: it's okay. It's my fault.
Yuffie: How is it your fault?
Perry: It usually is when it comes to women.
Yuffie: oh, you poor guy.
Perry: Whatever.
I began to leave.
Tifa: Where are you going?
Perry: Anywhere but here. Suddenly don't want to have fun.
Leaving Wonder Square I went to Round Square. Maybe seeing the sights would clear my head.
Perry: hmmm…Man did I screw up. They were only trying to make me feel like I could love someone else again. And I didn't give them much of a chance. Now they probably hate me. Jesus!
I was now passing over Battle Square. Someone was shooting everyone.
Perry: What?
The gondola was low enough to jump out of. I did so.
Perry: Hey, what are you doing?
???: Doing what I set out to do!
Perry: Stop!
???: Make me!
Perry: Gladly!
Drawing my sword the man got his weapon ready. A gunarm!?
Perry: You have a gunarm!
???: And you don't!
He shot me. Not with bullets. With needles! They were about 40. Imbedded into my chest and I couldn't get them out. I collapsed.
???: Nice to know you!
I blacked out. Twice in the same day. What luck? When I awoke I was in a bed.
Perry: What? Where am I?
Yuffie: In the hotel. We found you and brought you here.
Perry: Sorry!
Yuffie: It wasn't your fault.
Perry: But, I shouldn't have left you after that. I screwed up again.
Yuffie: Don't say anything.
Perry: but, I've caused so much trouble for you all and…
I was interupted. She was kissing me. ON THE LIPS!!!! WHY??
Perry: What was that for?
Yuffie: To get you to shut up! This one is for being such a nice guy to me.
She kissed me in the same manner again. This wasn't what I expected from Yuffie. Maybe she was trying to steal my materia.
She broke away quickly.
Yuffie: Oh…um…your not carrying your materia!
Perry: It's in my weapon.
Yuffie: OH man. My plan failed!
Was I imagining this? Yuffie was making excuses for kissing me. I'm not gonna follow through with this.
Yuffie: You should be fine. We fixed you up.
Perry: We?
Yuffie: Everyone is here. We helped you.
Perry: Well, thanks. I kinda got shot up.
Yuffie: yeah. It took awhile to remove those things from you.
Perry: What next?
Yuffie: Cloud and the others are going ahead to check the area for clues. Aeris, Tifa, and I are staying to help you.
Perry: Lucky me.
If only Irvine had this sort of luck.
It was difficult to stay awake. I feel asleep in a few minutes.
I awoke again. But something was different. My hand felt warmer.
Perry: Oh…
Aeris was holding it. She must have come in while I was sleeping and she herself feel asleep.
Perry: Not too comfortable.
Standing I helped her into my bed. She was sitting up next to me. I put my arm around her so she wouldn't fall off.
Perry: Sis. You're always there. I just wish I could be like that. Hey. What's stopping me? I'll try and do my best to help others like you do.
She couldn't hear me. She was still in a deep sleep. Kissing her on the forehead I was prepared to sleep again but I heard a loud rumbling and screams. People were coming upstairs. I wasn't in condition to fight. Was it for good reason or for bad?
I was prepared to face the worst.
I was dreaming again. But of what?
Suddenly an image popped into my head.
Perry: What's this?
I saw Yuffie and Tifa. Leading me into some loud place. And I saw myself being shot and…it went black again.

Perry: Who?
