The Airship

She lay on the ground for five minutes silently before actually getting up and she noticed that other then herself, Nanaki and Vincent were the only others currently present. She was lectured by Cid about 'incompetence' and other little boring things she didn't give a damn about. If she hated anything at all, it was listening to one of Cid's boring old lectures..which she seemed to get them quite frequently whenever she saw Cid.

"Oh, and try not to puke on my damn ship! Last time you were on it Shera had to spend two hours cleaning it, and then she complained to me about how I should have cleaned it. And damn, her complaints get annoying as hell, almost as annoying as you are, Yuffie," Cid shook his head and went back to the front.

Damnit.. she thought, why does EVERYONE always get mad at me, like everything is my fault? Like when the ice cream flew on Tifa and she had to stay in the hospital because of allergic reactions...well that might have been my fault... But it wouldn't have happened if Nanaki wasn't not watching where he was going while I had my ice cream and bumped into me, causing me to lose my grip and only be able to apologize about fifty million times! Oh well, atleast she forgave me..

Yuffie had been too deep in thought to realize that crimson eyes belonging to a very certain Vincent Valentine were on her. She snapped back to reality, feeling herself being watched. She looked up at a certain Vincent Valentine, and surely, he was staring at her absently. Obviously not noticing that she noticed his staring, she yelled up at him, "Vinnie, why are you looking at me like that? You need something?" Yuffie questioned him.

He flinched at the nickname. Just like her to have one for him like she did the others. Wait,' he thought to herself, since when did she have a nickname for everyone else? Atleast I didn't notice she did.. "...." Vincent's usual reply when anyone asked him anything.

"I'll take that as nothing? Then stop staring at me---" she was interrupted by the motion sickness just kicking in. Her face turned slightly green as she raced pass Vincent toward her quatres, muttering sarcasticly to him as she passed, "Nice talking to you again, Vinnie!" and straight into her room.

Of course, with his keen sense of hearing, he heard her

Once in it, she grabbed a tranquilizer from her stash located under her bed. She quickly took it and took a nap until the airship arrived to Costa Del Sol.


About two hours later, there was a loud knock on her door followed by a angry Cid screaming, "Brat! Get your ass up now, we're here. And don't you dare puke on my airship while getting out! I've already checked everything, and so far, there's no mess.

She instantly got up, unlocked her door and went outside into the fresh air. It felt so nice to be back outside after being in her hot, as Yuffie called it, sleeping quatres. She dashed to the deck and stopped instantly seeing everyone else already off the airship. "You guys could have woken me and then took off, instead of me being left behind.."

Instantly she heard Barret call up to her while walking to Tifa and Clouds house with the rest of the group, "Ya could have woken up on your own, and then you could be with us instead of bein' left behind."

"Oh, not fair.." Yuffie mumbled to herself. 'Hey, atleast they took the time to wake me--in a rude manor, but it still counts...right?' She thought as she jumped off the airship. Unlike the others, she would not injure herself by doing so. She was a ninja after all, her balance better then any she had ever known.
