* A/N: Woot woot! Another chapter! I'm excited because this is one of my favorites so
far. You'll see why later. This is going to be one of the more annoying chapters...fair
warning. *

## Yuffie's POV ##
After we left the FBI agency we went shopping for suits and dresses. We were given
about $4,000 to start off with for the mission. I don't think we needed it for shopping. We
should have just gone back to Nibelheim and bought more materia...but it was for Vinny.
Poor, sweet Vinny. I had to make that sacrifice for him. I sighed as we entered the store.
It was called Boscov's. We walked around until the guys and girls parted ways. I giggled
to myself because I knew Cloud, Cid, Barret, and Carter would get on each other's nerves.
Why can't they get along like Tifa and me? I'll never know.

"So, Yuffie, what are you looking for?" Tifa asked me thumbing through some dresses.
Her grin grew wider and wider. She must love shopping.

"I dunno...I've never really worn a dress," I answered almost embarrassed. It was always
shorts and my tank for the most part. I only wore dresses on special occasions, and the
dress would always be the same puke green one with the ruffles. Yuck.

"You're lucky I have a knack for this sort of thing," she said walking over to me. She
looked me over and then went into a long thought process. "Purple," she said finally.

"What?" I said. Confusion spread across my face.

"Purple," she started, "is your color. Not that green or khaki thing you always wear."

I looked down at my clothes. I was sick of the same old thing every day. "Erm..okay."

Tifa smiled at me. She then took of rummaging through the racks for purple dresses. She
came out behind one of the racks with not one, but several purple dresses. They were a
variety of colors, and to be honest, they were all very lovely. I walked to a dressing room
and she followed. "Okay!" I said excitedly. This was going to be fun. I was finally going to
be able to wear a dress that I liked! "First one!" I called and Tifa hung it over the door. It
was light purple and was a long skin hugger. It wrapped around me all the way down to
my ankles. "Nope," I said taking it off. "I'll die if I wear this one." I hung it back over the
door. "Next," I commanded. This went on for about forty-five minutes. I finally found the
one dress I liked. It was royal purple with a hint of deep red. It was made out of fine
velvet inside and out. It had spaghetti straps and hugged my upper body curves (which,
when I found out I had them, I yelped and sang a song about them) and then flowed at the
bottom. There were gold rhinestones near the bottom of the dress running in a zigzag
pattern all around the bottom. The dress showcased my perfectly sunbathed arms and face.
It wouldn't direct attention to my almost flat chest (thank God), and to top it off, if I was
wearing makeup and did my hair I would be a knockout.

"Beautiful," Tifa said nodding her head in agreement. "Now it's my turn!" She ran off to
find a dress for herself. I laughed and looked at my dress again. Purple really was a great
color on me. "Yuffie!" I turned around. "Come look at this dress!" I heard Tifa's voice
coming from the dressing room. I walked over to the dressing rooms and Tifa came out in
a dress much like the skintight one I had first tried on. It was light blue with sparkly stars
all over it. It came with a silver sash, which was beautiful also. It wasn't prettier than my
dress though. Mine was great. Hers would have to settle for second best.

"It's all right," I said to her. "If you like tacky things." She frowned at me and then turned
around to look at herself in the mirror. She smiled and then turned back to me and said,
"Yes, I do love this delightful tacky outfit," and walked off with the same smile on her
face. Whatever. I followed her to the register where we paid for our dresses. Mine had
cost more so I knew it had more quality. When the lady at the register rung it up I gave
Tifa fake smile and then turned around and giggled softly to myself. When we had
received our separate bags we walked back to the entrance of the store. The guys were all
there ready to go. I guess it doesn't take long to buy four tuxedos.

"We've been waiting for almost an hour!" Cid screamed. "What the @#%$^ were you
doing?"

"Being women," Tifa replied walking in front of everyone and out the door. We all
followed and stood outside to wait for Carter.

"Aight, y'all. Let's get in my car and go back to my apartment," he said motioning for us to
get into his Chevy. The boys sat in the regular seats and Tifa and I sat on the tops of the
back seats. We took in all of the lights and sights that we saw on the way back to his
apartment. It was better than the Gold Saucer! When we had arrived we took turns using
the bathroom and bedroom to change. When it was Tifa and my's turn I took the
bathroom and she took the bedroom. We both spent about twenty minutes to get our
makeup and hair done. I walked out and saw Tifa was coming out too. We both looked at
each other, gasped, and then smiled at the rest of the group. I swear, that Carter guy
looked like he wanted to molest me. "Lord, girl," he said walking towards me, "I don't
know if I can resist."

I slapped his hands and gave him a cunning smile. "Naughty naughty," I said before
slapping him. "You keep forgetting we can never be."

"Give me one good reason why!" he yelled.

"I'm only sixteen!" I yelled back. What an idiot.

"Aaaaw man!" he said with a look of disgust on his face. I scowled at him. Tifa, on the
other hand, was making Cloud sweat. He quickly loosened his tie and unbuttoned his shirt
in hopes of getting some air.

"Can we open a window in here?" he said scratching the back of his head. Tifa giggled and
then opened a window nearby. Cloud was watching her every move...and he kept taking
glances at her rear end. Ugh, hormones. So anyway, we went to the club and we walked in
there like we owned the place. All of the men in the house immediately drew their
attention to Tifa and me. We gave them all sweet yet devilish grins. Girls gave Cloud their
attention because he was looking mighty fine as well. "Okay, here's what we've got to do.
Tifa, we're going to need you to attract guys and get some information out of them. Yuffie
we're going to need you to hide somewhere nearby and take down the information. Red is
outside and in case we need him he'll bust in and bite some of these freaks. Cid and Barret,
you two will disguise yourselves as some of Prizmle's gang members."

"Hold up a second," Carter interrupted. "I'm the leader of this mission so what am I
doing?"

"You're going to...sing karaoke as a distraction while everyone's pushing for information,"
he said off of the top of his head.

"Oh, cool, cool," Carter said getting up. We all left to begin our separate missions. I sweet
talked the bartender into letting me stay behind the counter with him. I motioned for Tifa
to sit by the counter while I hid under it with a notepad in a pen. I could hear her talking
to some guys.

"So what brings you here, fellas?" she asked.

"Oh, nothing special," one answered. "Oh surely, there must be some reason you're here,"
she stated.

"It's just a good time with a couple of guys," another one said.

"Oh, so you're not bad boys?" she said with a pouty tone. I could sense that she was
probably giving them a killer pout.

"Yes we are!" a chorus of men answered.

"We're gang members," one slyly said.

"Oooh," Tifa cooed, "what gang?"

"Prizmle's gang," two of them answered.

"Prizmle?" she asked.

"Mm hmm. One of the baddest boys on the block," one explained.

"I see," Tifa perked. "Tell me more about him."

"Well, he's quite peculiar if you ask me," one man said. "He's got white hair and these
peculiar green eyes that sink right into you. He's always demanding, demanding,
demanding. If you don't listen to him then you're history."

I wrote all of this down in shorthand. That one guy was a fast talker.

"Why do you work for him?" Tifa inquired.

"It's the funniest thing. I was just walking down the street and I saw a cranny in the
ground. I looked in it and saw Prizmle's gang members working on something. I moved
around a bit to get a better view and I guess they saw me. They shouted something and
the hole got bigger. I fell in and was forced to become a member. So here I am."

This was a big piece of information so I made sure I had it all right before I knocked the
countertop from the bottom twice. I guess Tifa heard because she said she was tired and
was going to go. The men cleared the way and I got up and dusted myself off. The
bartender came over to me and kissed me on the cheek. "Maybe we can get together
later," he whispered in my ear. Why was everyone hear so sex-crazed?

"Not tonight," I answered. "I've got a boyfriend." He nodded and understood. I walked
out to sit down beside Tifa. She was giggling at Carter onstage. He was singing "Smooth
Criminal" by Michael Jackson. He thought he was such a ladies man up there. He kept
gesturing for girls to come up on stage and would wink at random girls in the audience.
When the song was almost over he had maybe two or three girls up there dancing around
him. When the song had ended he sweet talked to the girls and then they walked off stage.
I saw Cloud peek his head out to the audience from backstage and he gave a mischievous
grin to me. Carter walked off to make another request for a song. Cloud walked onstage
and took off his Tuxedo top to reveal a nice button down shirt that slightly showed his
defined muscles. Carter took a couple of steps out before he heard the rock music start to
play. "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm started playing and Cloud started bobbing his
head sharply to the beat.

"That stupid motha$#^$^@," Carter said walking back to the table Tifa and I were at.

"As he came into the window
It was the sound of a crescendo
He came in her apartment
He left the blood stains on the carpet," Cloud sang. He kept singing and then really rocked
out during the chorus. "
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie are you ok?
Annie are you ok?
Will ya tell us that you're ok?
There's a sign in the window
That he shot you - a crescendo Annie
Then he came into your apartment
There were blood stains on the carpet
Then he came into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom."

I was starting to get into it too so I had to force Tifa to come with me to dance with him
onstage. "Yuffie!" she yelled over Cloud. "He's having his time to shine. We can't just go
ruin it for him. You know half of the bar is going to direct their attention to us."

"Oh, come on," I said taking her hand and leading the way to the stage. We walked up and
started dancing with him. Pretty soon more girls joined him and I swear by the end of the
song more than half of the girls in the bar were on that stage. When the song was over
another rock song played and Cloud was getting ready to crowd surf. He looked for
Carter and then gave him a half smile before falling into the crowd. This angered Carter
even more than he already was so he came backstage and when Cloud had come back
safely, Carter gave him a grin.

"Let me try," Carter said taking off his coat. He jumped but landed on the ground with a
thud. Tifa, Cloud, and I looked at each other and laughed hysterically. I saw a fist slam
onto the stage and saw Carter pull himself up from off of the floor. "Sure, laugh now," he
said before falling back onto the floor. I looked over to see Barret and Cid getting up
along with the rest of the Prizmle agents to leave. They tried to sneak away but the two
doors were forced open and a man with four more men behind him stood before us.

"You two!" the man in front called pointing to Cid and Barret. "We heard there was
another group here."

"Let's go!" I called and rushed backstage with everyone following closely behind me. I ran
into another group of Prizmle gang members. I turned around to see more. We were
trapped. We had no choice now but to fight. We all knew not to use our limit breaks yet
so we just used our hands and feet to fight them off. I was excited because I love fighting.
I got to try out a lot of new tricks I'd been working on. Before I knew it I had finished
with my share of the fighting and ran towards the door where I saw the leading man from
before.

"You're not going anywhere," he told me. I got into my fighting stance. He laughed. "You
want to fight ME? And in that DRESS?" He laughed some more.

"Looks can be deceptive," I stated. I punched him square in the jaw and then proceeded to
fight him. He threw me through the door and I got up quickly and kicked him in the balls
while he had a hold of my hands. He let go and I spun around and kicked him. He punched
me in the stomach and I scratched him in the eyes with my right hand. I ran towards a
sidewalk and ducked because I knew he had a gun in his hand when I ran from him. I
didn't want to get shot so I got out of my ducking position when I heard the first gunshot
and ran towards the back of a store. I let my back rest on the cool brick as I waited for the
next gunshots to stop. I looked around the corner and saw the man was gone. I let out a
sigh of relief and turned around to see a gun in my face.

"Heh, and I thought you would be competition," he said while pulling the trigger. I closed
my eyes and heard the trigger come to a stop. Nothing happened. I opened my eyes and,
without thinking, took his gun hand and twisted it so that I could get the gun from him. I
hit him upside the head with it and he fell and blacked out.

"Phew," I said wiping sweat from my brow. I walked away and suddenly felt myself falling
and my skirt flying up. I screamed until I felt myself land on a cool cement ground. I felt
like I would get knocked out with one more blow. My eyes adjusted to the grayish blue
surroundings. I was inside of what looked like a factory. I saw a whole bunch of chute
looking things overhead. I got up and turned around to see Barret, Cid, and Tifa. Carter
came flying through a couple seconds after I had started walking towards them. Pieces of
my dress were torn and the rhinestones at the bottom were scratched. "Wh-what
happened?" I asked them. I heard a high-pitched scream from one of the chutes. Cid
slapped Carter.

"#$^%&&$&! IT WASN'T ME!" Carter said rubbing his cheek. All of a sudden, I saw
spiky haired Cloud fall through and then fall through another chute. Well, we had lost him
for now.

"Hahaha," we heard a voice laugh after a while.

* A/N: Wow, that almost took five hours to write. For the lyrics, I think I screwed up on
one line of the lyrics. If you know where I messed up please leave me a review or email
me! This chapter took almost five hours to write. It's the longest
chapter I've written so far. The next chapter will be up soon if I get some reviews! *
