Another Pointless funny Chapter
Beth: (waking up in coffin the next morning) WHAT??? LET ME OUT OF HERE!!! I AM NOT DEAD YET!!!!!!!!! (sits up fast and smacks her head on the coffin's lid, falls back) OUCH!!! (holds her slightly bleeding head) Man! A hangover headache wasn't bad enough....

Beth: (remembering) ohhhhhhh...... yeah.... sorry Vincent....
Vincent: (smiles warmly) don't worry about it
Beth: Good MORNING!
Vincent: yeah....
Beth: (smiling) that wasn't so bad....

Vincent: Wait....(grabs her arm) did YOU have something to do with my nightmare-less night?? Hmmm?
Beth: Not that I know of... (jumps out of the coffin)
Upstairs Everyone else is getting ready for breakfast, minus Beth, Vincent, and Cloud.
Barret runs by the kitchen where the women are making breakfast.
Barret: (screaming) Ladies and Gentlemen! Mr. Excitement!
Cid: (walks by, half asleep and with a cig hanging out of his mouth, scratching his rear) I reckon it might rain today, unless the sun comes out of course... (Cid walks into the living room)
Barret: Go back to your homes, Mr. Excitment has spoken!
Tifa is making eggs for breakfast.
Cloud: (runs downstairs and into the kitchen) Good morning Tifa! (Grabs her and kisses her)
Tifa: (caught off guard)
Aries: (scrambling eggs) ohhhhhhh.......
Red: (in the living room watching Barret play FFX-2)
Barret: AH! COOL!!! THAT IS SO COOL! The boobs look so real!
Red: Don't they? Watch this!
Barret: Awesome, they even jiggle!
Beth: (walks upstairs) Morning! (Goes into the kitchen to help with the breakfast)
Tifa: (blushing after her good morning kiss)
Aries: (spooning eggs into a dish) Morning... how was your night?
Beth: (holding her head) I woke up too fast... but it was good...
Aries: Vincent... didn't....
Beth: No... (walks over and starts to fry some bacon)
Tifa: (chopping potatoes for hash browns)
The women fix breakfast
Vincent: (comes walking out of the elevator, smiling)
Tifa: (sees Vincent smiling) Beth... why is Vince SMILING????
Beth: Oh, he didn't have nightmares last night, that's what he told me....
Tifa: Su-re......
Beth: AND why is Cloud so damn happy today??
Tifa: Uh.... no reason?
Beth and Aeris: SURE!!!!!
Beth: BREAKFAST!!!!
The gang runs in and sits down at the table
Cid: Uh... why are there three extra spots set on the table...
Beth: We are expecting some company...
Cloud: Uh... who???
Beth: Shera, Zak and.... (smiles) Kukarui....
Red: Who?
Beth: Nanaki... Kukarui is....
The doorbell rings
Beth: Here.... (she gets up and walks to the front door)
The three new residents walk into the room...
Beth: You all know Shera, and Zak, and allow me to introduce to you Kukarui... (she steps aside to show a female of Red's speices)
Red: Uh..... hello (walks over to Kukarui)
Kukarui: Hello!!! (smiles)
Cid: (gets up and walks over to Shera) Hello... (hides a smile)
Aries: ZAK!!! (jumps up and runs to give Zak a hug)
Zak: Aries!!!!
Shera: Hello (hugs Cid)
Cid: (hugs back)
They all sit down and talk about their materia.
Aeris: About our materia...
Beth: (thinking) Is there a damn echo in here?
Cloud: We need to get it back...
Tifa: Yeah...(snuggles next to Cloud)
Beth: We need to find Yuffie first!!!
Cid: (sitting next to Shera) Shera said she thinks she saw Yuffie heading towards Junon...
Red: (smiling) yeah... that would be logical...
Cloud: Maybe she... well....
Aries: (pouring more coffee for Zak) Maybe she went to the new mall in Costa Del Sol.... it sells and buys materia!
Cait Sith: Yeah, it's a nice mall....
Zak: I heard about that... it's suppose to be really nice...
Beth: Shall we go?
Vincent: (sitting over in his corner seat, away from all the others) hmm.... (keeping his eye on Beth)
The women clean up the breakfast mess as the guys pack up the Highwind...
Beth: Let's go!
Cait Sith: (jumps in)
Cloud: To Costa Del Sol... (helps Tifa into the Highwind)
Tifa: (looks at the look that Beth and Aries are giving her) What???
Beth: Oh, nothing
Aries: Nothing at all..... (looks at Beth and whispers) he got some...
Beth: Ohhhhhhh yeah....
Shera: This is so cool...
Cid: Shera, I am going to let you steer for a while....
Shera: Oh, so cool.... Thank you!!! (hugs Cid)
Beth: (smiles at Aries) Cid's GONNA get some...
Aries: he's smitten... how cute!
Nanaki and Kukarui walk onto the ship next, tails intertwined...
Beth: (smiling and singing under her breath) matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match.....
Aries: You are a matchmaker....
Zak: (takes Aries by the arm and walks her onto the Highwind)
Beth: (sighs and walks onto the ship) A match for everyone.... well ALMOST everyone.....
Vincent: (walks out last and sees Beth) .... (he goes to say something, but hesitates) ...... (gets onto the Ship and the door closes behind him)
(At the newly built Costa Del Sol mall)
Tifa: (looking around) Shoe World... Dress World... Armor World... Globe World.... Book World...
Uh... is there nothing in this place not named World??
Aries: Uh... Materia Planet!!!
Cloud: And Materia World...
Red: Uh... There is also a Materia Mansion....
Beth: Okay... we should split up...
Cloud: You, you, you and you go that way.... (not pointing at all) You, you and you go that way...
And you and you go that way.... (still not pointing)
Tifa: Okay....
Barret.... WHY DOES HE DO THIS????
Red: I can smell it out with my nose! Yuffie I mean!
The group follows Red for a while.
Red: (thinking) Why am I doing this? I can't smell a damn thing.
Cloud: I give up!
Barret: Damn you! (Hits Cloud)
Cloud: (dies)
Red: (uses Cure 2)
Cid: Where the hell do ya keep dat fuckin' materia? Ya dumb dog tang?
Red: (shrugs)
Beth: Vincent and I will go to Materia Mansion.... Red and Kukarui... and Aries and Zak can go to Materia Planet.... Barret, Cid, Shera and Tifa and Cloud can go to Materia World, as for Cait Sith.... he can go to the food court and keep an eye out there....
Cait Sith: What for??
Beth: For Yuffie, she has to eat too you know....
Cait Sith: Oh, sure!! Trying to ditch me you know!
Beth: We should call on the PHS if we see anything....
They all run off...

Beth: I know you worry about Marlene...
Barret: Yeah... I am... my littl' babe....
Beth: she will be at the mansion soon, I had to let her finish the school year at her school in the slums... she wanted to say goodbye to her friends there...

Barret: Yes!!! (runs off after his group)
Vincent: Why is it just us two?
Beth: ..........

Beth: (opens her mouth to say something, but stops herself from saying it).... let's find Yuffie... (follows after Vincent)
Cloud: Oh... wow.... would you look at all those nice.... rings..... (thinking as he walks by the jewelry World)

They all turn to see the Materia Planet right in front of them
Aeris: Uh, thanks Zak!!!
Red: We are going to find Cloud!!
Blue: yeah... good luck guys!!!
At the Food court
Cait Sith: (sipping a cola and eating a cookie) where could Yuffie be??? Maybe I will go play some games at the game arcade.... COOL! They have DDR here!
Vincent: Let's go into Materia Mansion...
Beth: Hey!! I hear something...
Yuffie:(inside the store) I had to risk my very SKIN to get all this materia, so I want all those master materia.... Fifty boxes of Laffy Taffy, and 300,000 gil please... oh, and a super large dildo too!!!
Shop owner: Oh, brother.... you're sick!
Yuffie: Hey BUB! I can go elsewhere you know!! There are plenty of other stores around here.... that WILL buy my materia.
Beth: (walks up behind Yuffie) YOUR materia?? How about OUR materia??? Thief???
Yuffie: Uh... Gotta run!!! (tries to run out of the store... runs into Vincent, she drops a few materias)
Vincent: Return our materia!!!
Beth: (thinking fast, grabs a Time materia and Slows Yuffie) Ah....
Vincent: (grabs it from her and casts Haste on them both) AHHHH!!
Beth: (takes off after Yuffie)
Yuffie: (casts Haste twice on herself) Can't catch MEEEE!!!!! (speeds off)
Beth: (jumping on the PHS) CLOUD!! Yuffie is heading towards you!!!! Keep an eye out for her... she is in Haste.... (still running after her)
Vincent: (following Beth)
Cloud: OKAY!!!

Blue: AaaaaaaaaaYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
Yuffie: RED!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING....
Red: (jumps out)
Yuffie: AHH!!! Hojo cloned RED!!! (Turns to run)
Tifa: (tackles Yuffie)
Beth: (running behind Yuffie) Tifa!!! Look out!!! (casts Stop on Yuffie)
Yuffie: (dodges and the spell doesn't hit Yuffie, it hits Vincent) ha ha haaa!!!
Beth: DARN!!! (Stops to look at the frozen Vincent)
Vincent: (frozen)
Beth: (sighs and he is unstopped)
Vincent: Uh... thanks...
Yuffie: (runs into the store)
Blue: (bites the bag, tearing a hole into it, a few materias fall out)
Yuffie: (turns around and hits Cloud with the bag)
Cloud: (dies)
Tifa: Of all the times....
They all turn to Cloud, ignoring Yuffie... and she is gone again...
Beth: (grabs PHS) Cid!! Yuffie should be coming towards you guys any second now!!!
Cid: Okay....
Shera: What??
Cid: They found Yuffie...
Shera: And?
Cid: Here she comes now....
Yuffie: (stops dead in her tracks) OHHHHH!!!!
The others run behind her, blocking her path
Beth: Yuffie.... give back the materia....
Yuffie: NEVER!!!(prepares herself for battle)
Beth: (sighs) YUFFIE!!!
Yuffie: (attacks Beth)
Beth: AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vincent: HEY!!! GET AWAY FROM HER!!!! (pulls out his Death Penalty)
Blue: (jumps on Yuffie to get her off)
Red: (jumps on Yuffie too)
Yuffie: (is gone)
Beth: (stands up, brushing herself off) Where did Yuffie go?
Cloud: (grabbing a bag of materia) Well, the materia is still here....
Red: (hiccup) oopsie....
Blue: What dear?
Red: (opens mouth wide)
Yuffie: (echoing) It's dark in here... where's a flashlight? (Turns on a flashlight and Red's eyes light up) GROSS!!! I am inside a DOG!!!
Red: I got carried away....
Cid: Need something for heartburn?
Barret: At least we got our materia back (comes walking up)
Beth: (looks at Vincent) Vince... you... tired to protect me didn't you?
Vincent:... ...... (quickly puts gun away)
Beth: didn't you?
Vincent: (smiling a little) She was going to hurt you......
Cloud: Let's equip our materia!!!
Tifa: thank you, Mr. Obvious.....
Cid: When did Cloud become an Obvious, I though his last name was Strife?
They spend several minutes equipping the materia for themselves...
Beth: I think we could split up and do some shopping...
Cloud: What's the next holiday??
Tifa: Christmas in two weeks....
Cloud: (jumps up and down like a kid) I want to go see SANTA!
Beth: Right, we need presents for everyone....
Barret: I think we should meet up for lunch in two hours and talk from there....
Beth: right....
They go their separate ways, Red and Blue sit for a while...
Red: (burp) ohh.... this is bad....
Blue: You were very brave and very nice....
Red: Really? (Burp)
(A/N: Just for future references, Kukarui's nickname is Blue; and of course Nanaki's nickname is Red... thank you)

Cloud: What do you guys think of this one???
Cid: Tifa'll LOVE that one...
Vincent: She does like dolphins so...
Cloud: But.... I... don't know, does it say "Marry me?"
Beth: (gasps)
Vincent: I heard something....
Beth: (grabs her bags and acts like she is walking by)
Vincent: (looks around) Gee.... Beth sure has a lot of presents....
Cloud: Oh, the Diamond Dolphin is beautiful....
Beth: (hides on the other side of the store and listens)
Cid: Hey, if you need just a few more gil, I will pitch in....
Vincent: Me too...
Cloud: what are you guys getting YOUR girlfriends for Christmas?
Cid: I am not sure yet...
Vincent: (eyes widen) WHAT girlfriend???
Cloud: Sorry Vince.... I just thought that Beth.... was........ uh.... your..........

Vincent: (walks out of the store)....... hmm.........

Vincent: (walks into the same store)
Beth: (sees him out of the corner of her eye, but hides the fact that she saw him) hmmm..... what would Cid like... (she mumbles as she picks up a pack of Cigs)
Vincent: you know he smokes Salem....
Beth: (jumps) Vincent.... I.... uh....... (looks back at the cigs) maybe a new lighter?? He IS always using Red.....

Vincent: B....b...... (wants to apologize)
Beth: (turns around) Yes?

Beth: (buys the presents for Cid and walks out of Tobacco World)
Vincent: (sighs)
Beth: (walking quickly away from the store, she soon enters another store)
Vincent: (following her) she is.... getting my present now....
Beth: (walks through the rows of coffins) At least he needs a good pillow....
Vincent: (sits across the way at the Tofu World) she..... I hurt her.....
Beth: (walks out of Coffin World with a bag) hmmm.... now for Cait Sith, Shera.... and.... Aeris and Zak.... (walks off)
(About an Hour later)
Tifa: (sees Vincent) Hey....
Vincent: (head on a table in Tofu World) hey.....
Tifa: what's wrong??
Vincent: I think Beth heard something I didn't want her to hear....
Tifa: what???
Vincent: I..... don't want to talk about it......
Tifa: are you sure?
Vincent: She thinks I don't like her.... But that just isn't TRUE! (Slams head on table, breaking it)
Owner of the Tofu World: HEY! You'll have to pay for that!
Tifa: Okay, I have to go buy Cloud's present.... hey, what are you buying for Beth??
Vincent: I don't know yet.......
Tifa: Make it a good thing and she may forgive you...
Vincent: She may never forgive me.... (lets a tear fall)
Tifa: Vincent??? Do I see a tear? Are you....
Vincent: Falling in love?? NO!
Tifa: (gives him a knowing look)
Vincent: (sighs) Yes...(trying to hide his emotions) but that is our secret....
Tifa: Okay... (smiles) I can hide
Vincent: Oh, better get Cloud something super duper good.....
Tifa: Why???
Vincent: (points to Cloud, now walking out of Diamond World) That's why....
Tifa: don't worry... that will be our secret too....

Vincent: What am I going to get for Beth?? (slams head into table... THUNK)
Owner: Don't go breaking MORE stuff now!
Blue: Why not get her something nice?
Red: Like....
Cloud: (grabs Vincent by the cape) come on.... let's go in here....

Cloud: Sure... there has got to be something in here for Beth, after all she IS an author...
Vincent: She writes a few fan fictions now and then.... so it Is worth a try.... I mean... how bad can it be...
Cid: Beth as an author or the store?

Vincent: man... that was really bad....
Cloud: that has NOTHING to do with authors....
Vincent: (pointing to sign)

Cid: Need something for heartburn?
Barret: At least we got our materia back (comes walking up)
Beth: (looks at Vincent) Vince... you... tired to protect me didn't you?
Vincent:... ...... (quickly puts gun away)
Beth: didn't you?
Vincent: (smiling a little) She was going to hurt you......
Cloud: Let's equip our materia!!!
Tifa: thank you, Mr. Obvious.....
Cid: When did Cloud become an Obvious, I though his last name was Strife?
They spend several minutes equipping the materia for themselves...

They go their separate ways, Red and Blue sit for a while...
Red: (burp) ohh.... this is bad....
Blue: You were very brave and very nice....
Red: Really? (Burp)

Tifa: are you sure?
Vincent: She thinks I don't like her.... But that just isn't TRUE! (Slams head on table, breaking it)
Owner of the Tofu World: HEY! You'll have to pay for that!
Tifa: Okay, I have to go buy Cloud's present.... hey, what are you buying for Beth??
Vincent: I don't know yet.......
Tifa: Make it a good thing and she may forgive you...
Vincent: She may never forgive me.... (lets a tear fall)
Tifa: Vincent??? Do I see a tear? Are you....

Vincent: (sighs) Yes...(trying to hide his emotions) but that is our secret....
Tifa: Okay... (smiles) I can hide
Vincent: Oh, better get Cloud something super duper good.....
Tifa: Why???
Vincent: (points to Cloud, now walking out of Diamond World) That's why....
