"Phew, its hot!"

Yuffie shielded her eyes against the blazing sun of Costa Del Sol. It was WAY too hot for her. Yu Long, however...

"WOW! The weathers SO beautiful! PLEASE can we go to the beach?!?"

Sighing, Yuffie relented. (I thought I was supposed to be the big kid!) She thought. She looked over to Daeda, who rolled his eyes, and indicated that they should follow.

After an hour on the beach, Yu Long enjoying every minute of it immensely, Daeda decided to wander over to the dock. Upon arriving, he saw an immense vessel, a stylish liner, that seemed to be lined with exquisite beauty and class. There was only one thing to say at a time like this:

"Whoa!"

"Can I help you sir?"

Daeda spun around to be greeted by a businessman, with a goatee and a sharp blue suit. "Erm, no, well, actually, you wouldn't happen to know of someone named Reeve would you?"

At this, the man smiled. "You must be Daeda. Red XIII sent word up that you would be arriving. I'm Reeve by the way!" The man shook Daeda's hand. "And this beauty will take you to the Forbidden City, the City of the Ancients."

"Whoa!"

-

Yuffie, Yu Long and Daeda stepped cautiously onto the ferry.

"I know I'm gonna hate this!" Yuffie moaned

"What? Why?..., oh, your motion sickness. Hehehe." Grinned Yu Long evilly.

"It's not funny! I get very delicate at times like this!"

"Ok you two, lets not start before the trip has even begun!" warned Daeda.

"Well, SHE started it!" grumbled Yuffie.

"Ah there you are," Reeve approached them, smiling. "Yuffie, it's great to see you again!" He gave her a hug. "And this delectable young lady must be Yu Long." He took her hand and kissed it. Yu Long blushed and giggled.

"Oh, I like him!" she said.

"Ah yes, Yuffie, there was one thing I was going to mention..."

"What?"

"We have some new... accomplices..."

With that, Reeve gestured towards three suited people. One was bald, about 7 ft, and had on a pair of sunglasses. The second had wild red hair, bangs down the front of his face and an unkempt ponytail to boot. The third, a female, had short blond hair and cold eyes.

"REEVE?!? Have you gone COMPLETELY insane?!?!? They're the Turks!"

"Yes, I'm aware, but ShinRa's finished. They are loyal to me, now."

"The Turks?" asked Daeda. "Weren't they the hit-men for President ShinRa? What makes you think you can trust them?"

"Aww, did you hear that, Rude? He doesn't think we can be trusted!"

Daeda turned, and came face to face with the red head.

"Hey, back off Reno!" said Yuffie.

"Oh, God! Reeve, you never said the materia brat was comin'!"

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!?!?"

"Uh oh, this isn't good..." mumbled Yu Long.

"Ahem! Why don't you three go and get changed? Rude will show you where you're rooms are. Yu Long and Yuffie, you will be sharing. Daeda, you will have to share with Reno.

"Eh? Reeve, I ain't sharin!"

"Oh, yeah, I'm gonna get TONS of sleep, in the same room as a MURDERER!!!"

"I'm sorry guys, it can't be helped." And with that, Reeve turned and left.

"So," started Yu Long, "Who's hungry?"

-

The trio had gone to their rooms to wash and change.

"HEY! Seen all the fancy gowns, Yuff?"

"Woah! You've gotta be kiddin me! I look TERRIBLE in dresses!"

"I'm sure that's not true! Now, is blue or red more you're colour..."

-

Daeda stepped out of the shower, drying his hair, to be confronted by Reno.

"Holy Leviathan! RENO!!!!!"

Daeda quickly wrapped the towel around his otherwise exposed torso. He glanced at the ex-turk, who had now gone redder than his hair.

"Err, sorry, I forgot you were in, and I, err, just wanted to shower, " he mumbled, looking at the floor.

Embarrassed, Daeda brushed passed him and into the room, and picked up the suit he had chosen. "So, erm, you going to the dance that Reeve's holding?" he asked, desperate to relieve the atmosphere of the awkward tension.

"Erm, maybe..."

"Right then"

Another awkward silence.

"Look, I'm sorry about what I said, about you being a murderer..." said Daeda.

"Nah, 's ok, you're right..."

"Don't say that!"

"Hey, why do you care? I hardly deserve it!"

"Everyone deserves a second chance, Reno..."

Daeda quickly finished getting changed, before hurrying out of the room, just before Reno got out of the bathroom. Blushing, Daeda got his breath back, calmed himself, and decided to go for a quick walk before the dance started.

-

Everybody had assembled in the main hall of the cruise ship. A band was playing, the lead singer a girl. She had aqua blue hair, shoulder length, with dark blue streaks. She was wearing a figure hugging black dress that showed off her body. She looked to be in her late teens or early twenties, with deep green eyes which showed surprising maturity. Yuffie realised she was staring at this beautiful singer.

"Her names Seira," whispered Reeve. "She's a very talented singer and dancer." He stopped to look at her. "My, you look beautiful, my dear!" He smiled warmly. Yuffie blushed. She was wearing a green blouse that had black embroidery, with a long black skirt that had a slit up one leg. Her hair had been thoroughly brushed, and her headband removed.

"Uh, thanks Reeve, I think..." she blushed again. (Damn Yu Long! Makin' me dress up like this!) She looked at Reeve, who was quite dashing in his plumb suit. "You don't look so bad yourself!" she grinned.

Yu Long entered the hall, accompanied by Daeda. She was wearing her hair up, held in place by two ornate hairpins. Her dress was white with a slit up either side, and an intricate gold and jade oriental dragon weaving it's way down the front. Daeda was dressed in a smart black suit, with a black shirt and a purple silk tie.

Then, the music started.

"May I have this dance, fair lady?" Daeda grinned, holding out a hand to Yuffie. Grinning back, she took it, and they walked arm in arm toward the dance floor. Spinning, twirling, all in time to the music, they made a wonderful sight, gliding across the dance floor.

Yu Long sighed. "It's so romantic!" she said to Reeve.

"Huh? Are him and the brat an item?"

Yu Long and Reeve turned around to see Reno staring open mouthed at the couple.

"Why, you jealous?" she asked evilly.

"Erm, no, what would I be jealous about?!?!?" exclaimed Reno, turning crimson. Yu Long laughed. "Don't worry, they aren't together, they just took dancing classes together for a time, that's all! Besides, I know Daeda, and Yuffie definatly isn't his type!"

"So who is? You?"

"Oh don't be silly! Hey Reeve, wanna dance?"

Yu Long led a protesting Reeve onto the dance floor.

Reno looked onwards and sighed sadly. (C'mon, get a hold of yourself! It's not like you stand a chance or anything...and you can't tell me those two don't have feelings for each other!) He shook his head. (Oh, so this is what an ex-turk feels like, eh? God I'm pathetic!) Downing his drink in one, he turned on his heel, and left the hall. Yu Long noticed him go. She pardoned herself, and gave chase.

"C'mon Reno, what is it?"

"Non of you're business, brat!"

"Hey, no need to be so nasty! I'm just trying to help!" she sighed. "Why don't you just admit what you're feeling, you know, SAY something!"

"Hey, those two seemed to be doing pretty fine without me!" he snarled.

"Look, I said Yuffie wasn't Daeda's type, because..."

"What?"

"Nothing"

"No, you know something! So spill!"

Yu Long bit her lip.

"Please? It might give me something to go on."

"Oh, ok, but PROMISE me you won't freak, or get mad or disgusted, ok?"

"Erm, sure whatever!"

"Well, it's because..."

"What, already!"

"Reno, Daeda's gay!"

-

A/N- sorry I just wanted a gay character, and he was perfect! I'm hoping to get a good plot out of Reno, too, but I'm making up the WHOLE thing as I go, so don't ask me where it's headed, exactly! PLEASE, read and review!
