The last chapter was pretty fun. I think I'll continue to write in
paragraph form.
Anyway, I'll do my best to keep this going because I enjoy writing this and
having you read this.
Sorry if it is difficult to read. E-mail me or something if you can fix it.
Chapter 19: Flaring Candle
Well it felt great being with Yuffie. We still wanted the others to be in the dark about us. Now we were heading back to the buggy and to Cosmo Canyon. Aeris wanted to talk with me first. I was still scared about her though. "Hi, I'd like to give you something." She said. She held up a long red garment. "What's that?" I asked. "It's a scarf that my mother gave me. I'd like for you to have it." "Why's that?" "You'd look good in it. Need something new around your face."
Taking it from her she helped me wrap it around my neck. It flowed through the wind. It wasn't too long but it did look cool. "Like it?" she asked. "It's great, thanks sis." I responded with gratitude. "Hey Red XIII, how far is Cosmo Canyon from here anyway?" Cloud asked the data animal. "It shouldn't take long. It's past the river in the forest ahead."
Yuffie and I walked along side one another. Far enough away not to seem couple like but close enough for the two of us.
" Don't know yet do they?" she asked. "Nope. Why don't we want to tell them again?" "Because it'll really surprise them. I want them to be in suspense." "Let's tell them after we leave Cosmo Canyon." "Okay, I'll probably get bored with the secret by then.hey, where'd you get that scarf?" "Aeris gave it to me." "Oh-you look so cute in it." "Men don't look cute, we look handsome." "Whatever."
We finally made it to the buggy. "Where do we sit people?" Cloud said enthusiastically. "I don't care." I said. "I'll take the back" Yuffie said as she jumped in. Then I followed her in. Eventually we all went in and set off. Yuffie was comfortable sitting next to me. After everybody fell asleep Yuffie and I decided to enjoy one anothers company without worrying about the others. "Finally, some us time." She stated with relief. "It was your idea to do this in the first place" I responded back. "Right, right. Well what do you want to talk about?" she asked me. "Dunno." "Aeris told me that you come from a far away place." "I guess you could say that." I responded back. "Do you miss your home at all?" she kindly asked.
I thought very hard for that moment. About all the things that I went through back in my homeworld. Then my answer was clear. "No, not one bit." "That bad?" "Yes, I wasn't liked very much." "Well than the two of us are not very different." "Huh? What do you mean, Yuffie?" I asked with curiosity. "Well I ran away from my hometown. I didn't like it either. My father was such an idiot." "Your right. We aren't very different. Guess that's why we're so attached." I said placing my hand overtop of hers. Her small yet delicate hand gave off that gentle aura which I really liked. "To be honest I was attracted to you since I saw you in that forest. But I wasn't going to reveal it until you recovered your voice." "Well to be honest, I've admired you for awhile." "How's that? We have only known one another for a few weeks." "Well, when I say I come from a far away place, I come from another world." "You serious?" "Yes, but it's not that I'm searching for a way home. I love being here."
"Well, I see now. You didn't seem like a person who comes from here anyway." "What's important is that I'm here with you now." "You're right, Perry." She tucked her small head onto my chest and under my right arm as she fell asleep. "Good night Yuffie." I mumbled as I kissed her on her forehead. Morning came all too quickly. I had barely gotten any sleep. We had arrived in Cosmo Canyon. But the ride was getting bumpy. "ugh.I don't feel so well.urk" Yuffie said with a weakness in her voice. "Yo Cloud, what's up with the buggy?" I asked our driver. "I'm not sure." As he said that the engine just gave out. We all got out and figured it was broken down. "Kinda a bad time for a breakdown, huh?" Barret said. "Well we are only a short distance from my home." Red XIII told us as he headed for a large civilization in the distance.
It was very large. Cosmo Canyon was quite larger than the game had depicted. "ugh.still.urk.sick." Yuffie said while trying to keep her lunch in its lunchbox. "Drink this." Aeris handed her a green bottle. "It's said to help this stuff." Yuffie took the bottle and drank it slowly then faster. "Wow, that's not bad. I feel much better." She said sounding more cheerful.
"Let's go in and see what we can find." Cloud said. We all went inside and I looked for the weapon shop. I remembered it had weapons that weren't bad at this point in the game. However they didn't sell swords I could use. I saw nothing to buy.
Heading upstairs I went to the materia store and purchased two HP Plus Materia. "These things are expensive." I placed one the them in Sword- Catcher and I went off to find Yuffie." She was in the inn/bar. She was drinking something. "Please tell me that's not alcohol?" "It's not. Just coffee." She responded. "Got you something." I took out the HP Plus Materia and threw it to her. She caught it and looked very happy to hold it. "Thanks. You got me two materia already." She placed it in her armor. "Cloud and Red XIII are doing stuff in Red's Grandad's machine thing." "Hmm. I guess we could rest until they are finished. "But why would we.OOOHHH!" She realized my intentions after a few seconds. "Well let's get one of those private rooms." I suggested. "Sure thing."
The two of us headed to the counter and asked for a private room for two. Once inside we locked the door to make sure nobody unwanted got inside. "You do remember that we are telling everyone about us when we leave." "Oh yea." "To be honest I'm very exhausted" Stretching out on the large double bed I felt total relazation. Yuffie lied down next to me. "No wonder. You got like no sleep in the buggy." "Just let me rest." She tucked her head onto my chest and I fell asleep very quickly.
I'm here again. It was that dream I had before with the strange building. But this dream makes no sense. I was before a large door. After prying the door open with my sword a man was standing before a computer console and looked up at me. "It's you! We haven't much time. OH no! You're returning." Then the dream ended and I was back on the bed. "Yuffie?" She was nowhere to be seen. The door opened and she was there. "Where were you?" "I was here the whole time." "No you weren't. I few minutes after you fell asleep I did too and when I awoke you were gone. Now your back here." "That's very strange. I don't sleepwalk. Hmm." I wasn't 100% sure but I think that that wasn't a dream. Maybe.the people who ran the program to simulate Final Fantasy 7 are trying to find a way to get me back home. But that doesn't explain the soldiers running around the place a few dreams back. I sure hope they don't take me from here. From everyone. "Well, everyone is waiting at the big bonfire. Let's go." She led me out the door and down to Cosmo Candle.
"Glad you could make it guys." Barret said in his regular deep voice. We all exchanged thoughts near the big bonfire. "You know guys." I began. "Go on" Aeris encouraged. "Well, ever since I've met you all I've been happier than I've ever been in my whole entire life." "Why do you mean to say?" Cait Sith demanded. "Well you guys are like my family now. As hard as it is to admit that aloud." "We all feel the same too." Tifa said. "We've all been through a lot together and we've gotten through." "And Perry and I have something to tell you all." "Really what could that be?" Cloud wondered aloud. "We are." I started.
I hope that you can read this chapter well enough. I hope to get the format fixed so it doesn't get all bunched together.
