Aeris and Dagger – City of the Ancients

(Aeris and Dagger arrive outside the city at the same time and look at each other suspiciously.)

Dagger: ... Hi.

Aeris: Hello.

(Awkward silence)

Dagger: Meeting someone?

Aeris: Yes.

Dagger: Me too. Dating Agency thing.

Aeris: Me too.

Dagger: Oh.

(Long awkward silence)

Aeris: (Trying to be friendly) I'm Aeris Gainsborough, by the way.

Dagger: Queen Garnet til Alexandros 17th.

Aeris: Wow. Long name.

Dagger: I pretty much go by 'Dagger' now.

Aeris: Right.

(Silence)

Dagger: So, who are you meeting?

Aeris: Someone called... (Realisation strikes) Dagger...

Dagger: Oh... OH! YOU'RE Aeris!

Aeris: Yes! Oh... I guess the agency made a mistake.

Dagger: Urgh, they're useless.

Aeris: I know. I got set up with a guy who said nothing but 'Whatever' last time.

Dagger: I got set up with an old man who kept swearing all the time.

Aeris:... Cid Highwind?

Dagger: Yes, that's him!

Aeris: Oh, he can be sweet. But not the kind of guy to take home.

Dagger: TELL me about it!

(An hour later. They are walking around the City.)

Aeris:...And that's where I died, and that's where my 'friends' dumped me...

Dagger: They dumped you in a lake?

Aeris: I know! I mean, I'm aware that they were busy saving the world, but would it have killed them to dig a grave, make a little headstone...

Dagger: I can't believe how much we have in common!

Aeris: I know! Say, do you want to see where I dropped my Holy Materia?

Dagger: Sure!

(Later that day. Outside the City)

Dagger: Aeris, this was so much fun! Of course, I'm still going to complain to the Agency for setting me up with a woman, but you know...

Aeris: Totally! Hey, let's go do that now! And you can tell me some more about being queen.

Dagger: Sounds good!

And thus started their beautiful friendship...

Yuffie and Selphie – Midgar

By BlueDaemon and Kat097

(Yuffie is sitting in the playground in Midgar, on a swing.)

Yuffie: Gawd, I've been waiting for ages...

(Selphie rushes in)

Selphie: I'm late, I'm late, I'M LATE!!

(She stops, stumbling on a loose rock)

Selphie: And apparently on the wrong date. I'm supposed to be meeting a guy.

Yuffie: Are you Selphie Tilmett?

Selphie: Yeah. You're Yuffie? Damn, I wanted a good date this time...

Yuffie: Tell me about it. Hey, I like your dress!

Selphie: Thanks, nice shuriken.

Yuffie: Well, do you wanna get an ice-cream?

Selphie: Sure! No sense in wasting a date!

(In a café somewhere...)

Yuffie: I can't believe that crappy agency! They set me up with a vampire last time!

Selphie: You're, like, joking? I got some really tall guy who was totally mean!

Yuffie: Gawd, what it wrong with these people? It's, like, so totally pathetic!

Selphie: Uh, yeah!

(They wander to the park with their ice-creams)

Selphie: And I was all like, yeah. And he was all like, no and we were both totally like OK!

Yuffie: That is so cool! Hey, do you like to fight evil?

Selphie: Yeah! Fighting evil is so totally cool!

Yuffie: Like guys who are all 'let's destroy the world' and we're all 'nuh uh!'.

Selphie: I so get that.

Yuffie: Sweet.

Selphie: Sooo...Nice ice cream.

Yuffie: Yeah! Only now I'm on a sugar high! Wanna go to some clubs and have a totally awesome girls night out?

Selphie: That'd be sweet! But I haven't got any money! I was expecting a guy and they're always supposed to pay for a lady's meal...

Yuffie: Of course! chivalry rocks! Don't worry though. I uh...found some materia we can sell so we're set!

(At a seedy strip club)

Yuffie: Uh...I think we're at the wrong kind of club...

Selphie: Cover your eyes!

Half Naked Woman: Hey darling, wanna dance?

Selphie: No...no thank you.

Yuffie: Yeah...we should go...now...

(outside)

Selphie: Y'know Yuffie, good-time-wise, Midgar sucks!

Yuffie: You wanna go home and write angry letters to the dating agency instead?

Selphie: I so totally do!

Yuffie: Wait a minute...

Selphie: What?

Yuffie: I...think...we need more ice cream!

Selphie: Yeah! And chocolate!

(They both skip home, eat lots of chocolate and ice cream and gossip about nothing very important...)

(Sorry this chapter took so long! Mostly my (blue daemon) fault because kat097 can do no wrong! seriously! Anyway, hope you liked it and there's more to come soon!)
