"Yuffie you can pull through this! You have to think of all you have to live for!"
I'm trying Vincent but I'm too scared!
"Yuffie
don't think like that! You're fear is what is holding you like this! You not being
able to wake up is what you're fearing! But you have to brush that aside and
think about what you have to live for! Cloud, Barret, Tifa, Nanaki, Cid, Me,
Even Cait sith (Reeve) Even if some of them don't know what's going on or that
this is happening, what will they think if they find out you're like this?! You
have to do it for them! Do it for me! Come on Yuffie I know you can!"

'I've never heard Vincent Talk like that...' she thought.
She Began to think of the others. Cloud and how he and Tifa were always there when you needed them even if they weren't the nicest at times. Cid and how even if he had a sharp tongue, he was there to back you up. Nanaki and how he was always able to give the best advice when you needed it the most. Cait Sith who could crack a joke even in the worst of times and when somebody needed cheering up. And... Vincent...

The glowing around Yuffie finally faded until she was her normal color. Her pulse sped up all of a sudden telling Vincent she had pulled through...
Tifa and Cloud walked up more, standing just a few inches away from the two secret lovers. The smile on Vincent's face told them that everything was going to be ok...
After a moment Yuffie's eyes slowly fluttered open to see a smiling Vincent holding her tight in his arms. She returned the smile weakly having barley enough energy to stay awake.
"I knew you could do it..." was all he managed to say. He saw tears well up in her eyes. At first glance you would think that they were tears of sorrow. But these were tears of joy.
She couldn't keep her eyes open any longer. She closed them suddenly leaving a slight grin on her face.
Vincent and the others still didn't know what had caused all this to happen but they would worry about that later on... for right now they would just go home...
When Vincent stood up with Yuffie cradled up in his arms, something dropped from her hand and made a thump sound as it hit the ground. Cloud picked it up seeing that Vincent obviously couldn't. what he picked up though surprised him. It was a silver Materia with gold a copper swirls around it. He had never seen such a Materia in all his life. Not even in his few years as a SOLIDER. But for now he decided not to think about and put it in his pocket. It was still early but he could think of a couple that might sleep most of the day away today and didn't blame them one bit.

~~In the house~~
Vincent gently laid Yuffie on her bed being sure not to wake her. He slowly lie down next to her and wrapped his arms gently around her waist and pulled her closer. He knew he would have a lot of explaining to do to Cloud and Tifa but right now he just wanted to be alone here... with Yuffie... he was wishing that this moment would never ever end as he slowly drifted to sleep with his lover in his arms...
