Yuffie opened her eyes and smiled. Today her and Sora were going to Destiny Islands! She couldn't wait. She got out of bed, and looked over at her clock, it read 9 AM. Good, she thought to herself. I have a while to get ready!

Sora was also getting up. He quickly got dressed and left his room, entering the corridor, then running into Leon.

"Um...hey," Sora said cautiously.

"Hi, Sora," Leon replied casually.

"You...don't mind...about..."

"What?" Leon snapped.

"Oh, it doesn't matter," Sora quickly told him. "I better go, better...have some breakfast," without another word Sora walked back into his room.

"Maybe I could invite Yuffie for a quick breakfast," Sora said to himself, then decided against it. Nah, it will probably be best to wait to see her at 11...

-------- ----------- ------------

"Aerith," Yuffie came bursting into Aerith's room. "I-wait," Yuffie paused. "What's SHE doing here?" she said in a low voice, as Kairi was asleep on the bed across from Aerith's.

"Um...Yuf, me and her share a room. Or had you forgotten?" she smiled.

"Yeah, yeah," the ninja muttered. "Let's talk back in my room!"

"Hold on! I'm not sure if I want to wear this dress yet!" Aerith studied the pink dress she was wearing at the time.

"Who cares? Are you really going to actually go OUT anywhere?" Yuffie dragged Aerith, much to her protesting, back into her room.

"Anyway..." Yuffie continued. "Later, me and Sora, we're going to Destiny Islands..."

"Yeah, Yuffie, you said that already,"

"I know, but the day has come, now!!" Yuffie said impatiently.

"Yes, so when are you going?"

"In about 2 hours!" Yuffie told her. "And I don't know what to wear. I mean, is it a casual date, so I can wear what I'm wearing now, or what?"

Aerith laughed. Yuffie frowned at her.

"What?"

"You can't wear THAT on a date, Yuf," Aerith giggled. "We all know you're crazy but not THAT crazy..."

Yuffie decided not to answer her on this one, and instead continued.

"What shall I wear then?"

"You wanna wear what you wore last time? No, forget I said that!" Aerith stopped herself. "You can NEVER wear the same thing twice on a date."

"Umm..." Yuffie was beginning to think that coming to talk to Aerith was a bad idea.

"Anyway...I'll have to pick out something new for you!" Aerith opened Yuffie's door, and the two of them walked back into Aerith's room. Then she stopped, as she walked over to her wardrobe. "Or..."

"Or?"

"Why don't you have a little peek in Kairi's wardrobe?"

Yuffie laughed, disbelievingly. "Yeah. Sure. I'd really wear anything of hers..." then she remembered her and Kairi were sort of friends now. "Well...I guess...she'll never know. And I'd have to wash it a load of times," she added.

"Ok! Let's have a look, then." Aerith opened Kairi's wardrobe and picked out a white skirt and purple top.

Yuffie screwed up her nose. She didn't really like the clothes, but it'd have to do. Anyway, it didn't matter too much what she wore...it was only for the day. So Yuffie accepted, and put the clothes on.

"Bye, Yuffie," Aerith waved. "I'll see you soon. Or if I don't, I'll see you after the date!"

Yuffie waved goodbye, and shut the door behind her. The slam woke Kairi up.

"Huh?" Kairi rubbed her eyes and got up. Aerith rushed over to Kairi's wardrobe and shut the door before she noticed anything. She smiled at Kairi.

"Morning!"

Kairi smiled back. "I better get dressed, I guess."

"And I better go!" Aerith ran out of the room, before Kairi noticed that some of her clothes were missing.

------- ----------- ---------

Yuffie was now dressed, and back in her room. "Ok...now what do I do," she muttered to herself.

There was a knock at the door. Yuffie jumped up, thinking it was Sora or someone. "Come in!" she called.

It was Leon. "Um...hi, Yuffie..."

"Leon...what a surprise," she said honestly. "So...what brings you here?"

"You," he said bluntly, making Yuffie stop in surprise.

"Excuse me?"

"It's just that..." Leon couldn't find the words. "You and Sora, Yuffie. It's...annoying, to say the least,"

"Annoying?" The ninja didn't quite know what Leon meant.

"What I mean is...well, Yuf...I guess I might just be a little...well, jealous." Leon said as quietly as he could.

"Jealous? Of Sora?" Yuffie almost laughed. "Leon, really, there's no need to be..."

"Yes, there is!" he snapped. "Because Sora gets to go out with you. He gets to be with you all the time. And sometimes...I just wish it were me."

Yuffie didn't know what to say. So instead, she kept quiet, one thing that is really hard for her to do.

"But I guess you'd rather be with him," Squall continued. "And that's fine."

Yuffie was actually feeling a little sorry for Leon. "That's really sweet, Squall," she finally said. "But it's true, I'm with Sora now. If only you had told me how you felt a few months ago," she smiled. Leon knew what she meant, and he thought he was a fool not to like her before.

"Oh...well, too bad. Never mind, though. You'll always be my friend, anyway..." Leon reached out to hug her. Yuffie nervously looked around, too see if Sora or anyone was there, she didn't want them to get the wrong idea...but it was ok, so she hugged Leon back.

"Um...Leon, I can't breathe," Yuffie gasped for air as Leon was squeezing her too tightly.

"Sorry," he muttered. "Well, see ya," He gave her a quick wave as he walked away. Yuffie gave a guilty smile. She felt sorry for Leon, especially as she had liked him once. But she was sure now, she liked Sora. Not Leon. No, not Leon. No...

Yuffie decided to go and see Sora, to remind herself that she was going on a date with him, and didn't want to go on one with Leon. No. She didn't! Why was she even considering it? She wasn't considering it! Was she? The thoughts went through her mind as she entered Sora's room. Well, she knocked first.

"Come in," called Sora's voice.

"Only me," Yuffie's voice sang. She walked in the room and sat next to him on the bed.

"Hi," she waved, even though she was sitting right next to him. ((Lol, I do that ALL the time))

"Hi, Yuf, good to see you!" Sora said. "All ready for our date, I see..." He looked at her clothes. "Nice."

Yuffie couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, after all, these were Kairi's clothes she was wearing, did that mean Sora thought Kairi looked nice? But Yuffie didn't bother telling him she had 'borrowed' Kairi's clothes, instead smiled and said "thanks, Sora,"

"So...you still wanna meet at the Accessory Shop at 11?"

"That's in about an hour," Yuffie smiled. "But yeah. It'll be great, I can't wait."

"Then we'll get the gummi ship."

"Can you drive?" Yuffie asked.

"No, but I'm sure someone will drive for us," he grinned.

"Yeah. So what shall we do in the meantime?"

"Maybe we should be apart. Then it will be better, when we meet up!" Yuffie randomly suggested.

"Ok. I'll go and...talk to...I don't know, Cloud and Riku, in their room..." Sora got up and prepared to do just that.

"I guess I'll go and see Aer-" Then Yuffie remembered Aerith shared a room with Kairi, and she was wearing her clothes. That would not be good if Kairi noticed.... "Or not. Selphie. Yeah, I'll see Selphie..."

"You and Aerith not friends any more, or something?" Sora said with concern.

"No! No. I don't really want to run into Kairi," she said, which was mainly the truth. She hadn't told Sora that they were sort of friends now...

"Oh, I see. Well, see you very soon then!" Sora opened the door and let her and Yuffie out.

"Can't wait," Yuffie winked as she walked out of the hotel.

Ok, Ok...I mean it, NEXT chappie is the last! I didn't want to make this one TOO long, even though it's longer than my others....PLEASE R&R! Stay tuned for Chapter 14, the final one of an Unlikely Pair!
