I started playing VII again so I could make sure I got things right. And I found a few mistakes on my part. I fixed them and also added new stuff. So I have reloaded chapters 8 and 15. The only diferrences are that now Vincent is a penguin and Yuffie is Mary, Queen of Scotts. For all those who are reading this all through first-time, I'm joking.
The morning sun had passed into noon and Vincent and Yuffie were well on their way to the north. Yuffie leaned to one side in case she felt the need to throw up. Vincent wanted to take the quickest route and Yuffie had agreed. The problem for Yuffie was that the quickest route was to ride Cloud's Chocobo across the ocean towards the Northern Crater.
As they was nothing to really do on a Chocobo, and since Yuffie no longer felt sick, Yuffie became bored. She tugged on Vincent's cape.
"Yes?"
"Are we there yet?"
"For the 128th time, no."
"...."
"...."
"How about now?"
"No."
"Is there anything to do?"
"You can try thinking of happy thoughts."
"Does that work?"
"Don't know. Never tried it before."
"...."
"...."
"So what else can I do?"
"You can listen to the other person carry on about how bored they are."
"Your mean." Yuffie said hitting Vincent in the shoulder.
"And your bored."
"Hello Mean, I'm Bored, how are you?"
"...."
"You're no fun anymore."
Vincent smiled.
"I never was."
Several Minutes passed.
"Hey Yuffie?"
"Hmm?"
"What are you doing?"
"What do you mean?"
"What are you doing to my hair?"
"Nothing."
"It's not nothing. You're messing around with my hair."
"I am not."
"Then what are you doing to my hair."
"Just this and that. I'm bored remember? I gotta do something?"
"Then do something that doesn't involve my hair."
"Are we there yet?"
"Continue doing whatever to my hair."
Vincent stopped the Chocobo by a river north of Mt. Corel. Dusk was approaching and the Chocobo was tired. Letting it drink at the river, Vincent started to work on dinner when the wind started to blow. It seemed the desert to the east was blowing to the desert in the west. Quickly gathering the supplies, Vincent called for Yuffie to follow him and head to the nearby materia cave he knew about. Vincent was surprised to find Yuffie already there.
"How did you get here before me?"
"Huh? Vincent? What are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Vincent, Yuffie started to snicker.
"There's a sandstorm going on. What are you doing here?"
"I just... went for a walk. Should I fix your hair?"
"What do you mean? Didn't you do that on the Chocobo?"
"I was too bored to undo it. Let me fix it, plaited hair is not you?"
"Plaited? Would you have let me walk into a town wearing a plait?"
"I would have told you. Eventually."
"Is that any way to treat your husband?"
"Oh no. You're not using that on me. My dad tricked us. That doesn't mean we're really married."
"Yuffie. I know you're not going to like this but since you don't know. Wutai marriages are legally recognized."
"You know what I mean. You didn't get on your knees and offer me a huge diamond ring and I didn't blush and let you sweat awhile before saying yes. Gawd that sounds so cliche."
"So why do that? I can just propose and since we're already married, we can skip that part."
"You're really keen on marrying me, aren't you?"
"Well, I um."
"Let's start on a simpler question. Why me? We have some fun together sure, but that's not a basis for marriage."
"Because you are fun to be with. That's a foundation for a good marriage. We know each other. It's not all about money or looks. Those can and will go. You make me happy. I have had fewer and fewer nightmares since all this started. Now I dream of you and me living in a house somewhere. Enjoying life, raising children."
Yuffie flinched.
"Children? You want children?"
"I would like to."
"Why would anyone want children? They're greedy, mean, nasty, lousy little sneaks who take and take and never give one whit about anyone else."
"That's why you would make a great mother. You know everything they would do."
"I don't have to stand for that."
"You can sit if you want to."
"Hmph. But me, a mother? I don't see how I can."
"Well, it starts when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much."
"Stop that. I'm being serious. How can I be a mother? I never really knew my mother. What example could I set? I'd just fail."
"So would I. And I know about failing your loved ones. But there is no perfect parent. You have to remember that each person is special in their own way. Look at Sephiroth. Imagine what would have happened if he met Lucrecia before finding out about Jenova. He apparently was a somewhat nice guy. That didn't stop him from becoming a maniac."
"I hope you find someone who can do that for you."
"I don't have to hope. I know I found that someone."
"Now I'm feeling depressed."
"That's funny. I'm depressed, you're happy. I'm happy, you're depressed. Could we meet somewhere in the middle? Could we both be content at least."
Yuffie leaned against Vincent. Vincent, in turn, put his arms around her.
"I'll be content with us just sitting here like this."
"And I'll be content with just that."
"I'm not ready for this kind of commitment."
"Then I shall wait until you are ready. No matter how long it takes. You're worth it."
"Vincent? Shut up. This is too perfect for you to keep talking."
"Sorry."
"What did I say? Now I have to find a way to keep you quiet."
Yuffie reached up and grabbed Vincent by his plaited hair. Pulling him to her, Yuffie kissed him, long and hard.
"I'll be quiet now."
"Now we have to do that all over again."
"I don't mind, do you?"
"Not one bit."
Is that sweet or what? To answer that please read and review. I'm serious. Tell me, I have no clue how this all comes across to other people. None of the voices in my head are willing to tell me.
