"No."
"Oh come on Vinnie! Surely it ain't so bad!"
Yuffie stood on the snowboard, seething impatiently. The two of them were locked in an inextricable eye war, Vincent's ever dark gaze smoldering against Yuffie's weak, kittenish one.
"No."
Yuffie pulled her friend stubbornly onto the snowboard with her, and as the metal bar closed, stopping him from getting out, he glared at her. She ducked down swiftly, locked his feet onto the snowboard and bobbed back up again, before smiling, stepping behind him, and wrapping her arms around his stomach. Vincent frowned, and said,
"Why do I have to go in front?"
"Because you're agile and good at things which need a lot of concentration!"
"All right then. Why do I have to go on?"
A tap vibrated through Yuffie's shoulder, and she turned her head to see who had demanded her attention. A man, who reminded the ninja of a padded box wearing a security uniform more than anything, looked at her sternly and pointed at the sign next to the machine.
"Lady, it clearly states that no more than one person is allowed on the snowboard at one time."
Yuffie opened her mouth to protest, but was cut short by a robotic voice counting down from three. Her eyes widened and she turned back to Vincent, who was frowning and searching desperately for an off switch. The door ahead of them opened, and they fell down the artificially snowy slope, Yuffie's yelling drowning out the sound of the angry security guard. As the large metal door closed, all that Yuffie could hear was Vincent's slow and steady heartbeat and the cold wind rushing past her. Suddenly Vincent stopped and turned his body round to Yuffie, his eyes narrowing at her.
"Honest Vinnie, it wasn't me!"
"Yuffie..."
"I'm SERIOUS!"
Vincent turned back to the slope, glaring at it's pristine pureness resentfully.
* This should be interesting *
With a jolt, Vincent sent the pair sliding down the slopes, Yuffie holding on to Vincent for dear life. The snow slid down into every nook and cranny of Yuffie's body, and she screamed in the cold, blaming it, because of course it was his fault, on Vincent, who had grown rather good at ignoring her. He ducked down, tensing all the muscles in his body, before suddenly releasing, flinging the pair high into the air, which did not please the little ninja girl at all. As he twisted and turned, maneuvering through the course, Yuffie could feel his body move beneath her hands, and she blushed at the shivers that it sent up her spine. Her only consolation was that the man that was causing this to happen could neither see her face nor feel her burning cheeks. She absently tightened her hold on Vincent, who turned to her and commented,
"I need to breathe Yuffs."
"Oh! Sorry Vinnie!"
* He called me by my nickname! *
"That's OK."
As the course came to an end, Yuffie felt her mind beg Vincent to stay right where he was, with her dependant arms around his meager waist. She released her hands and stepped of the snowboard, so that Vincent could unstrap his feet. As he was doing so, she fell to the ground and stuck her head into one of the large mounds of snow that were dotted about the place. Sighing in relief she could practically feel steam emitting from her face, until she heard a confused noise from behind her. She froze in embarrassment as Vincent said,
"Yuffie . . . I know I'm going to regret asking this but, what are you doing?"
Yuffie pulled her head from the snow and chewed on her little finger nervously. Vincent seemed to be awaiting an answer, a small, bemused smile painted onto his porcelain face.
"I was . . . I was . . ."
With that she ran through the door, back into the Wonder Square. Vincent raised an eyebrow, following the girl with his swift, powerful strides, laughing quietly to himself. As her small body bounced girlishly from the manmade slopes, he found himself mesmerized by her carefree attitude, and her innocent beauty.
* It's wrong, Valentine * He scolded himself * She's just a little girl. *
Yuffie was waiting for him by the slides, next a giant, talking Mog, not so different to Reeve's. She was tapping her foot impatiently, and when he got to her, she yelled jokingly,
"Geez! Take your time why don't ya! My old man coulda got here faster than you, and he's asleep for most of the day!"
"Charming as always Yuffie," he purred softly, "I see you've found Sith."
He was correct. After meteor, Reeve had given Sith to the Gold Saucer, taking Cait with him though. The owner of GS had taken him on as, you guessed it, a fortune teller. Yuffie's hand was stroking the giant mog out of habit, and it seemed to enjoy it very much, recognizing the girl from it's travels. It jumped up and down happily at first sight of Vincent, and the gunslinger smiled a rare smile, and he ducked down so that he was at eye level with the overgrown furball.
"Aw, Vinnie! He likes you!"
Sith nodded enthusiastically, and Vincent scratched it's head with his claw. Yuffie twirled excitedly, her skirt flowing outwards, and her sleeves following her around like ribbons. Vincent looked away awkwardly, and Yuffie said,
"Hey Sithy, tell out fortunes!"
Sith bounced happily, and got out his little metal box. He spun the handle a thrice, waited for a second, before hitting it a couple of times and trying again. This time, the machine made a croaky noise as a slip of paper slipped out of it. The mog ripped the paper from the roll and handed it to the eager girl. She read it and smiled wickedly, before tucking it quietly down her skirt.
"What did it say, Yuffs?"
"Uh . . .What did what say?"
"Your fortune."
"Oh nothing, nothing, just that green is my colour and I'm gonna be eaten by monkeys, nothing important!"
"Uh . . .huh."
"You have one!"
Vincent shook his head.
"Aw, go on! Please!"
"Fine, but only once."
"Yay! Thanks Vinnie, you're the greatest!"
Vincent smiled, and leaned against the wall nonchalantly as he awaited his paper. Sith did his entertaining dance, and Yuffie made up a theme tune for it, as the stuffed animal tried frantically to get the little machine to work. After a few minutes of patient waiting, the machine made a noise, and bit of paper popped out of it. Vincent took his fortune and read it to Yuffie.
"Love is closer than you think."
Vincent snorted slightly, and slotted the piece of paper into his pocket, failing to notice the blushing Yuffie. The dolled up little ninja pulled out her paper and re-read it:
"You are with the one you love."
Giggling she rushed up to Vincent and enclosed her arm around his, smiling up at him, as he looked down at her. He smiled back and the two walked towards the slides.
