Jealousy
Chapter 3: Pretty Dresses
*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day, Yuffie woke up feeling a little guilty. Unsure of why though, she got up, dressed, and did everything in the bathroom. She came out in her usual clothes again except was wearing blue jean shorts instead of khaki.
Yuffie's stomach growled, and she headed out of her room into the hallway, and walked along it. Pushing the large gray doors, she was awakened fully by the warmth of the sunlight shining on her bare skin.
Yuffie walked along crowds of people until she saw the little restaurant that Squall and her always go to. Yuffie walked towards the little brown building, and opened the swinging doors. She was caught by the smell of freshly cooked meat and steamed vegetables. She heard people laughing and the clattering of their drink glasses against the tables.
Yuffie looked around for an empty table, but instead saw Squall sitting in one. SA large smile appeared on her face as she walked casually across the room towards the quiet Squall. He was leaning back in his wooden chair and was looking straight ahead at the wall as if in deep thought.
Yuffie sat down next to him and asked, "What are you thinking about Squall?"
Squall blinked a couple of times and then looked at Yuffie. "It's Leon," he muttered. He paused for a second while Yuffie rolled her eyes. "I was thinking of nothing." He then said, finally deciding on what he should say. (A/N: Remember of how I said that Squallie here is jealous? Well, try and guess what he was thinking about... :D)
Yuffie sighed, and the waitress came around and asked what Yuffie wanted. Yuffie asked for a glass of lemonade and that's all.
Squall and Yuffie sat there for a moment in silence as everyone in the background laughed cheerfully.
"Squall?" Yuffie asked after a while.
Squall groaned, "How many times do I have to tell you, it's Leon,"
"Yeah, that's what I want to ask you... why did you change your name?"
Squall looked at Yuffie in the eyes and saw her eyes twinkle against the dim light that the sunlight gave off through the windows.
"Why are you even asking?" Squall asked bitterly.
"Because..." Yuffie said.
"Great answer," he muttered.
"Well I want to know since your always bugging me to call you Leon when you're really Squall."
"I'm not Squall anymore,"
"Why?"
Squall sighed and pondered on if he should really say it. "The day that the heartless attacked... I knew I had to change my name after what had happened..." he trailed off leaving Yuffie confused.
"What happened?" Yuffie said as she took a drink from her delivered lemonade.
A pause was only there and Squall said, "I just didn't want to be known as the Squall kid who gave up. I remember the day that the heartless attacked. I tried to fight them off of people, but I couldn't, I was too weak. I remember... when I was running away from them, too scared to fight." He paused again and Yuffie furrowed her brows. ' Squall is never scared,' she thought.
"I even tried getting on the ships that were taking people away from this planet, "he continued, "But they wouldn't allow me since I was supposed to fight. I was as scared then anything, and... I just didn't want anyone to remember the day that Squall Leonhart was afraid and wasn't good enough."
He finished and Yuffie asked, "That's it?"
Squall shook his head. "When I met with cloud, he was scared too... we headed towards the ships, and they were all full... One ship wasn't, and could only allow one more person. It was either me or Cloud. We kept arguing that the other of us should go. When the attendant was about to lift off without both of us, Cloud pushed me onto the ship, and we took off before I had time to get off of the ship..." he trailed off, looking into space again.
Yuffie looked at Squall worringly. "So, you didn't want people to think you were scared, or weak?"
Squall nodded slightly.
"Well, I don't think you're weak, but brave." Yuffie said, smiling a little. As soon as squall looked up, Aerith sat down next to them.
"Hey guys," she said. Squall nodded his head towards her, and then looked back at Yuffie as she turned to say hi.
"Yuffie, Jake told me that you two are going to the dance together!" Aerith said.
Yuffie smiled and nodded as Squall started feeling a little emptiness in his heart.
"He asked me yesterday," Yuffie said, a big smile across her happy feature.
"Oh Yuffie, we have to go dress shopping, come on." Aerith stood up and took Yuffie's hand while pulling her out of there. Yuffie weakly followed, and turned her head to mouth the word, 'help' to Squall. He laughed in his head and turned around again, going back into his deep thoughts.
'Yuffie was going with that Jake kid,"

Aerith pulled Yuffie into a mini dress shop, where prom dresses were everywhere. Lots of girls were already there, picking out dresses and giggling horribly.
"Do I have to wear a dress?" Yuffie groaned as Aerith and her looked around the rows of dresses.
"Yes, that's why its called a dance," Aerith said as she pulled out dresses, and put some back in.
Yuffie followed what she was doing.
Aerith pulled out a red dress and said, "Yuffie? What do you think of this dress on me?" she said as she held it up to herself.
The dress was a light red color. It had dark red spaghetti straps and the bottom layer of the dress had frills along it. Tiny silver jewels went down diagonally starting from the V-shaped collar and headed downwards. The jewels started as all bunched together, but slowly spreaded apart as it went down.
"It looks great," Yuffie said, smiling.
Aerith nodded, and put the hanger on her arm. "Now lets find something for you,"
Yuffie laughed at some of the dresses that were on the hooks, and usually put them against herself to laugh some more while Aerith only smiled and continued looking.
"Yuffie, how about this for you?" Aerith finally said pulling out a light blue dress.
Yuffie put it up against herself and Aerith smiled nodding. It was a sky blue dress that had spaghetti straps too. On the bottom half, there was a V going downwards, and that V was white (hard to describe). At the top half, mini silver jewels spreaded across it. The dress hung low, and went straight across Yuffie's chest unlike the V-shaped collar that Aerith's dress has.
Both went into the dressing room and tried them on. They went into two separate stalls right next to each other. As soon as both of them were done, both walked out and faced each other. Yuffie and Aerith both gasped at the same time.
Aerith looked beautiful in her red dress. Her curves matched perfectly against the loosely hung dress.
Even though Aerith looked beautiful, Yuffie looked 'perfect'. The blue dress matched her blue eyes. The dress tightly hung against all of Yuffie's skinny body and curves and flowed down to her feet in a gentle gesture.
Both of them smiled at each other and said, "Looks great," at the same time. Aerith laughed as she said, "You should wear dresses more often Yuffie!"
Yuffie shook her head "It makes me feel weird."
Aerith shook her head and both of them went back in and dressed normally. As they got up and started walking towards the register, Aerith stopped and held out her arm so Yuffie stopped and bumped into it.
"We need to get shoes!" She said and pulled Yuffie into the shoes section.
"Why can't I wear my boots?" Yuffie asked pleadingly.
Aerith raised an eyebrow. She took Yuffie's dress and hung it up against her. "Does that look good to you?" Yuffie looked down. She saw her beautifully colorful dress, and then her everyday boots.
Yuffie looked back up and grinned. "Okay, I get it."
Aerith found two pairs of shoes that looked exactly the same. One pair was red, while the other was blue. They were sandal high heels that had criss crossings in their colorful restraints.
Both bought their things with their munny, and headed out with large bags in their hands.
They walked along, heading towards the hallway of rooms.
Aerith suddenly giggled, and Yuffie looked over to see Aerith smiling to herself.
"What's so funny?" Yuffie asked as they walked through the gray doors and into the hallway of rooms.
"It was so funny at how Leon's face got when he heard about you and Jake,"
Yuffie raised an eyebrow as Aerith continued, "He looked so... jealous."
Yuffie snorted, "Yeah right, like he'd ever be jealous if I went with a guy. He doesn't even care at all anyway."
Aerith smiled with a glint in her eyes "You should've just looked at him, and then you'd see," With that, she waved, and walked into her room, leaving a confused Yuffie standing in the hallway.
