Disclaimer: Me owns nothin' but the plot.

AN: Okay! I'm weird right now, not saying I'm not usually weird or anything, I just am right now.. Well, weirder then usual, and It's getting annoying. Gawd, I love these author note things.. It's just so fun to type out nothing important, so, yeah.. Blabbing on again, not saying it's a bad thing, but I think I'll go to writing this chapter again, mind you, it could possibly be the ending.. Maybe I'll make it long enough so that I'll make another chapter..wait..maybe..possibly..no.

After Effects

Yuffie woke up at five in the morning, her and Vincent had left the party at two so she had been sleeping for a full three hours already. Her head was pounding and she didn't know why. Then realization hit her, she HAD gotten drunk last night, but how did she get back here? Gawd! she thought to herself, If this is what it's like after being drunk, dear Leviathan(since she worships Leviathan instead of god -nod nod-), keep the alcohol away!

She got up out of her bed and walked to Vincents. She gasped at the sight of herself, someone had undressed her. Gawd, did she hope it wasn't Vincent..or..would it really matter that much? No, it wouldn't. She had nothing to hide really, but still felt insecure with that question stuck in her mind. She never had liked people to see her naked, especially not guys. Tifa had once, but only once, just when Tifa walked in while she had been taking a shower and forgot to lock the door. She grabbed the blanket she used the previous night and wrapped it around herself so nothing unwanted would show. She was happy to see that Vincent was apparently still asleep, either that or pretending to be. Either way, it wasn't worth thinking about.

For some unknown reason to her, she started smiling at him. Garnet eyes shot open, catching a glimpse of her smile as she quickly washed it away.

"Who the hell undressed me?" Yuffie asked before thinking.

"I got Tifa to do it, since I thought you would not want me to see your body," Vincent replied.

"Oh, thanks!" Yuffie giggled and, forgetting about her not wearing anything, sat on his chest, leaning down and hugging him. He embraced her back just as the blanket fell down. Ah, hell, why should I care anymore? It's JUST Vincent seeing me. At least it's not Cloud..or worse, Cait Sith! Yuffie told herself, liking the feel of his cool claw on her back. It had been hot the previous night, and she just realized that.

"Yuffie, your blanket. Do you not care if I see you?" Vincent asked, though it was doubtful that she wouldn't.

"Nah, at least it's not Cait Sith or anyone who would gawk at me," Yuffie answered, her voice as soft as it had been the previous night. She tightened the embrace, never wanting to leave it.

"Okay," Vincent said, shocked at her reply. He pulled her closer, being careful not to hurt her with his claw.

Yuffie let a yawn escape, signaling that she was still tired. She lay down beside Vincent, cuddling up to him as he covered them in the blanket from her bed. There, they fell asleep.(Okay, so I let my imagination take over again.. Who could resist the temptations?! I'm a fool for romance scenes, in character or not.. Maybe it's a curse?)


Tifa got up from her bed and walked toward the window. Morning had come to soon. All she wanted to do was lye back down in her nice comfy bed, or Clouds..and sleep. Looking over in his direction, she noticed he was still asleep. She started to walk over there, grinning. Upon reaching his bed, she climbed up onto it beside her. Somehow, he got the comfier bed. Of course, she didn't think much of the thing at that time, but right now, when she wanted to sleep, it seemed like the closest thing to Heaven. She lay down beside him, strong arms(Ohh..yes..strong..sexy..Oops, daydreaming again..) closed around her. She felt his heat, and as it would go, she loved it. She nuzzled up to him, falling asleep in his grasp.
Cloud woke up to hear Tifa mumbling in her dreams. She was saying something like, "I love you." Suddenly, she stopped, her eyes snapped open, thinking it was still the dream she brushed her lips to his, quietly, but loud enough for Cloud to hear, "I love you, My Cloud."

"And I, love you as well," Cloud said, the level of his voice matching hers.


Cait Sith woke up after 'its' long(meaning, twenty two hour) sleep. 'It' bounced up out of bed, out of his room, and straight, leading into Cid and Barret's room. Yelling at the top of 'its' lungs, in an announcer,(if 'it' has any, or can even yell) through the microphone 'it' carried, "Go--od morning Sunshine!"

Barret's eyes snapped open instantly, "Shaddup, foo'! Your creator didn't like ya, he said ya was a mistake of o' creation, waste o' materials. He even told me so, so shaddup 'fore ya piss me off more!" Barret practically screamed at the toy cat.

"Ahem, I repeat, Go--od morning, Sunshine!" Cait said, announcer voice still there.

"You don't fuckin' listen' to the other fucker I share this room with, I know exactly what to do with you." Cid stated.

Cid stood up, grinning. The toy cat called Cait Sith was afraid of what he would do to him. Without Tifa here, he could do anything. 'It' knew Barret would only help him Cid by cheering him on, but, oh well. "Goodbye, cruel, cruel world!" Cait screamed out, hoping someone would come save 'it'.

It was a no-go. Cid had already made his way over to him and crept around the back of him, almost as sneaky as Yuffie, almost. 'It' felt the power in 'itself' go out. 'It' knew, just then and there, Cid had flicked his power button off.

"Well, now thats fuckin' done, nothing to do but dissemble 'it', and then, Barret, you fucker, you're gonna help me burn 'its' parts," Cid stated, almost too happy(keyword 'almost').

"Yep," Barret agreed.

Cid took only a mere four point four seven minutes to dissemble it, throwing the peices of what used to be Cait Sith around like the food had been thrown the night before.

Afterward, Barret set up the fire pit in the backyard and helped Cid throw the pieces into the fire pit. Next, they burned them until there was nothing left and pretended like they were all innocent and didn't do a thing bad.


Yuffie awoke, feeling much better than she had before she fell asleep. She nuzzled up to Vincent further, her eyes still closed. "Vinnie," she mumbled, hoping he was awake.

"Yes?" Vincent asked, his garnet eyes only partly open.

Before she was thinking, she quickly blurted out, "I love you," and fell back asleep in Vincents arms.

"I love you too, Yuffie," he whispered into her ear, falling back asleep with her. (Yep.. Darkness really getting to me, making me be all dreamy!)


Nanaki peaked into Cloud and Tifa's room, only to see Tifa wrapped, what seemed to be tightly in Clouds arms. He sighed happily, finally, the two were actually getting together, or, at least it looked that way. He go an idea to see what Vincent and Yuffie's were up to. Quietly creeping in their room, he saw them curled up together, the blanket off Yuffie a bit showing some skin. He closed the door, as quietly as he had opened it and crept down the stairs, meeting Cid and Barret, large grins on their faces.

He sighed, "Oh no, what did you guys do this time?"

"Absolutely fucking nothing!" Cid lied.

"Ya, wasn' us who broke da annoyin' cat afta turnin' it off, and burned it. It was..some dude who randomly 'napped da thing.

"Well, I say, good riddance!" Nanaki exclaimed, surprising the pair by the happiness in his tone.

"So, you fucker, you're not fuckin' mad at all?" Cid asked.

"Nope. Well, only a bit. I only wish you guys would have waited for me!" Nanaki pouted.(Yeah, pouting.. It could happen, right..? Well, I say it can, so it can!)

"Ah, too bad. Nex' time we'll letcha know, as long as ya don't get in da way or anythin' like dat," Barret grumbled.
