Yuffie clung to Vincent as they were sucked up though the tube that would take them to the Event Square. After the long, twisting ride that was much like being taken through a Giant Sandworm's body in the Desert Prison, the pair were flung, rather ungracefully, from the tube. Yuffie slid along the floor, before rolling into a wall, and Vincent was propelled into a wall, which he deftly air-kicked his way off, landing next to Yuffie. The only difference was, he was upright. He offered Yuffie a hand, and she gratefully took it, mumbling angrily. As they walked toward the Event Hall, slow pop music could be heard. Yuffie pulled Vincent through the archway to find the place decked out with streamers, balloons and strobe lighting. There were about thirty couples dotted about the dance floor, whispering into each other's ears, giggling quietly, or just silently enjoying each other's company. Vincent turned to Yuffie as he heard her gasp, and he said in a quiet voice,
"What is it Yuffie?"
She pointed discreetly to the far corner of the room, where a familiar pair where holding each other close, and Vincent's eyes opened wide when he recognized them. As the female was slowly twirled, her long brown hair, which had seemingly been released from it's confines, splayed out around her, shimmering in the darkness. The male smiled a wide smile, a smile that he had not used since the death of the gentle flower girl. It was a smile full of hope and unchained love, and as his lips blanketed the female's, his eyes closed, and he embraced her tightly. Yuffie's eyes began to shine, and she wiped away the moisture from her eyes with an embarrassed swipe of her arm. Vincent looked to the floor awkwardly, before raising his hand to his friend. She smiled and took it, and he led her to the floor. His gingerly put his arms around her waist, and she stretched her arms to reach his neck, and they spun gently, moving in time to the soft music. Vincent's bloody eyes were directed to the floor, and as he caught sight of Yuffie's stormy orbs he looked away. Yuffie pulled herself closer, and rested her head on his chest, his heartbeat keeping time with the music. She closed her eyes, and let her friend lead her around, sighing when the melodic music came to an end. Vincent looked down at her, half of his face hidden to her by his collar, but his eyes glimmered faintly, before he looked away, releasing Yuffie and walking from the dance floor. She followed him, but he was walking fast, and so she stopped on the edge of the floor and cried,
"What's wrong Vinnie?"
A soft reply streamed back to her,
"Nothing."
He stopped, and looked over his shoulder, before going again. Yuffie looked down, before running after him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey Vinnie?"
"Yes Yuffie?"
"Do you . . ."
"What is it?"
"Do you enjoy being around me?"
"Why do you ask that?"
Yuffie gave her bright pink lollipop a few thoughtful licks, while observing Vincent twirl his about his dark purple one around his fingers, before popping it back into his small mouth and letting it lie there. The pair were sat high above the mountains, so they could just about see Corel in the distance. The young ninja sighed, and sprawled back on the glassy skylight that covered the Battle Square.
"It's just, you seemed kinda reluctant to come with me earlier. I mean, we're having a good time, right?"
Vincent nodded, before falling gracefully back next to Yuffie. He sighed, and a cloud of breath rose in the bitter night sky. Yuffie shivered slightly, the glass freezing against the parts of her arms that were bare, and the cold seeping through the part of her belly that was uncovered by the gap between her skirt and her top. Vincent turned his eyes toward her, his head soon following, and he said,
"Yuffie, I wouldn't have come if I didn't want to."
Yuffie smiled, and she rested her head on her friend's shoulder.
"Thanks Vinnie."
Vincent could feel her shaking on his shoulder. He stood up and began undoing the buckles on his cape, Yuffie watching with her eyes showing confusion. He wrapped the heavy piece of material around her silently, before he leapt through an open section of the roof, down onto the floor below. Yuffie tightened the wrap around her, the pleasant smells reaching her nose quickly, and she tied it up smiling. She followed her friend down, sliding down the beam that she had climbed up. She met Vincent waiting at the bottom, who had found Barret and Cid fighting, again. Yuffie ran next to her friend and yelled,
"What're you two old farts arguing about now."
Cid pointed venomously at Barret, who was at that point, making rude gestures to his 'friend's' back. The bulky man snorted in contempt as Cid growled,
"That man," his voice went dangerously quiet, "stole my £$%^& Jelly Beans."
"I awready told y' foo! It was a little kid!"
"Then why the £$%^& was there Jelly Beans all around where you where standing!?"
"The kid was throwin' 'em at me!"
"Like £$%^& it was!"
"You callin' me a liar!?"
"And what if I am!"
At that, Barret launched himself at Cid, making the man fall to the ground, wheezing and huffing at the large weight above him. At this, Vincent reached down, locked his claw onto the collar of Barret's shirt, and lifted him from the gasping pilot. Vincent walked away, his job done, and muttered,
"Act your age."
Yuffie stifled a giggle as Vincent stalked off, but as Barret glared at her, she coughed nervously before pointing towards her tall friend and saying,
"That way. Yes. Good. I go that way. Now...NOW."
