Eventually Sora and Yuffie arrived at the outdoor café in the First District.

"Let's go and sit down, then!" Yuffie rushed over. At one table was Leon and Aerith. At another was Donald and Goofy, then at the one next to that was Kairi . There was one spare table.

Just then Cloud and Riku came running in. "Hey, Kairi," Riku took the seat opposite her, much to Sora's annoyance. Cloud took a seat on Leon and Aerith's table.

"Yuffie!" Aerith called over, patting the seat next to her. The ninja looked at her for a moment, then shook her head.

"Nah, it's OK," she mumbled, taking the spare table. Then Sora did an unexpected(well, for the others anyway) thing, and went and sat opposite Yuffie.

"Sora?" Kairi said. "Why aren't you sitting over here?"

"Uhh....because Yuffie likes bacon," Sora said the first thing that popped into his head.

"Excuse me?" Kairi replied, confused.

Sora went a deep red. Yuffie giggled. "Um....yeah,"

Kairi rolled her eyes. "If you say so..."

Yuffie turned to Sora. "Go and sit next to Kairi! And I don't like bacon!"

"Um...no, I won't sit over there. So, what will you have, then?" Sora tried to change the subject.

Yuffie stared at him for a second.

"S...stop that," he muttered, embarrased. "Now tell me your order!"

"If you tell me why you're sitting with me,"

"Well....why not?" Sora didn't really know himself why he chose to sit there. Yuffie was growing on him, though...

Yuffie just looked at him, emotionless. "Fine, here's my order..."

* * *

Meanwhile, over at Aerith, Leon and Cloud's table:

"I wonder why they're sitting together? I never even knew they were friends," Cloud took a sip from his drink which he'd just ordered a minute ago. (yes, ok, I know they haven't been there for that long. it's reallly good service at this café ^_^)

"Clearly they are," Leon muttered.

"If I didn't know you better, Squall, I'd say you were jealous," Aerith smirked, lifting her mug of steaming hot tea up to her lips.

"Me? Jealous? Of who, Sora?" he laughed nervously. "Yeah. Sure."

Cloud and Aerith looked at each other, smiling.

"Stop it! I don't care about either of them," he got up, and left.

"Leon! Don't you want some food?"

"No," he shouted, walking back into the Second District.

* * *

Riku and Kairi were also talking:

"I can't believe Sora chose Yuffie over me," the girl whined.

"Yeah well...he's not worth it," Riku said.

Kairi looked over. Yuffie and Sora had now ordered their breakfast. Yuffie had decided on toast, and Sora was stealing her crusts.

"How sad," Kairi rolled her eyes.

"How cute," Riku laughed, Kairi started at him.

"Yeah, sad," he muttered.

* * *

"Oh! Sora, order your own freakin' food," Yuffie snapped, but was grinning.

"I'm not hungry," he replied, taking an entire peice of Yuffie's toast.

"This isn't funny..."

"Give me your toast, and I'll buy you a drink."

"Deal!"

Minutes had gone by, Sora was content eating the girl's toast and Yuffie was happy with her hot chocolate.

"Right, let's go," Sora jumped up when he'd finished.

"Don't we need to pay?"

"..."

"Fine, I will," Yuffie rolled her eyes but Sora quicky stopped her.

"No, no, it's on me...."

"It's on ME," Aerith shouted over from the other table.

"Oh, well, if you insist," Sora quickly added.
