Chapter 2 meeting Lulu and wakka

Cloud landed on the sandy beach of the Isle of Besaid. It had been the toughest three minutes of his life. He closed his eyes and all he could see were the tears in Tifa's worried face and the encouraging smile Yuffie gave him. The confused look on Barret's face when he told him he's taking Vincent. Cait Sith had been jumping around in the background doing his 'good luck dance,' or whatever it was called. Red had given him his best materia, Knights of Round, for any monsters that would come his way. He smiled and opened his eyes to find Cid pacing back and fourth while Vincent looked around. A group of weirdly dressed villagers bounced around a ball laughing and chattering as if they didn't even see them. "Cloud get the hell up! We have work to do," Cid yelled with his eyes popping out of his head and his mouth dry from the trip there. Cloud stood up right a common reflex he had when ever something as big and as ugly as Cid began to yell in his face.
"Woah, calm down ya?" a voice came from behind Cid as Cloud backed up a shocked expression came across his face. The I-just-woke-up feeling hadn't worn off yet. His eyes were still trying to focus. Cid turned around to see who it was that crept up behind him. The guy smiled, he had sort of a Santa Clause charm about him. Cid poked his hair that seemed to look so stiff up in one tall curl. "Jee I thought your hair was bad," Cid laughed looking over to Cloud as if the guy was some sort of statue. The guy kept smiling as Cid examined his hair like a car's salesmen checking out a car from the other dealers. He looked down at the guy and put out his hand, "Name's Cid Highwind"
"Wakka," The man replied dodging his hand and giving him a hug. "What the fuck, back off you faggot!" Wakka backed away with a hurt expression on his face. Cloud pushed Cid aside and whispered, "you want that materia, then shut up." Cid glared at Cloud and kept quiet. "I'm sorry, ignore him, Cid's just not a touchy feely kind of guy, my name is Cloud Strife by the way," Cloud stuck out his hand and Wakka shook it. Cloud nodded in gratitude that he didn't try to hug him, after all he was quite the homophobe. "So what brings you here"
"We have come to meet lady Yuna," Cloud replied as Vincent walked up next to Cid. "Wohoho! Yuna already has fans ya? Who are you," he asked speaking to Vincent.
"Vincent Valentine," he muttered. "He isn't quite the chatterbox," Cloud muddered.
"Ah"
"Can you take us to her," Cid impatiently asked.
"How good are you guys at fighting"
"We are okay," Cloud replied, "but is that relevant"
"I was thinking of leveling up before our big journey you know"
"Our," Vincent asked.
"Yes, Lulu, Yuna, Kimarhi, and I, we are out to sa"
"Save it," Cloud interrupted, "just take us to Yuna"
"Do you mind if we take the hard route"
"Just take us! We don't care what ever the hell way we go God Damn it," Cid bursted out.
"Calm down ya? Just take your time," Wakka frowned.
"All do respect…Wakka, we don't have much time," Cloud sincerely replied. Wakka wasn't quite sure what Cloud meant but that but he didn't want to know. He took them through the water way. They fought many different fiends and revived Wakka several times leaving him awestruck. Cloud lifted himself up the cliff following the others. He shook off as much water as he could. He put his sword back in his sheath and smiled, feeling pretty cool. Cid and Vincent stood by him as Wakka stared examining them.
"Where did you guys say you were from again"
"We didn't," Cloud replied.
"Who taught you how to fight"
"That I'm afraid we can't tell you either," Cloud replied. "Are we almost there," Cid asked finally being a little more patient.
"Just right down there is the village," Wakka replied pointing down to it but not letting them out of his site. Vincent began walking Cid followed along with the other two. They entered the village with brightened spirits. "Wait here, do not wander off," Wakka ordered seriously, he was acting as if he had seen a ghost or a missing link. "Whatever," Cid replied. Cloud nudged him hard in the stomach, "Ow damn that fucking hurt you blondie!" "You want to save Aeris then clean up your act," Cloud muttered with a frown on his face. Vincent was looking around at the villagers as a dog sat next to him wagging its tail. Vincent cracked a smile and pet it, "Hi little guy, what's your name"
"Hey what's with him," Cid asked drawing Cloud's attention off of him and on Vincent. Vincent turned around to see Cloud and Cid holding in their laughter and growled at the dog shooing it away. "What"
"Nothing…"
"…" Vincent put back up his barrier of seriousness. Cloud and Cid broke out in laughter and Vincent smiled under his coat. A woman walked out of Wakka's hut with Wakka following behind her like a little lost puppy. "Are you Cloud," She asked. She had chocolate brown eyes and black hair tied up with funky sticks. She wore a long black dress with a low cut. Too low of a cut if you know what I mean. Cloud fought the urge to look down and replied by taking out his hand, "Yes, I am, and you are"
"Lulu, who are your friends?" Cloud turned around to see Cid staring at her with his famous starstruck look, Vincent was over there deep reading her. Looking right into to pupil of her eye reading every ounce of her he could. Trying to figure out if she was trust worthy or not. "This is Cid Highwind," Cid broke out of his trance and bounced right back to his normal personality.
"I am not Blondie's friend! I am more like his fucking therapist!" Cloud frowned in confusing, he wasn't quite sure what Cid was talking about but he just shook his head and went right on to Vincent.
"Thi"
"My name is Vincent Valentine," Vincent replied kissing Lulu's hand and bowing, "Nice to meet you miss"
"Lulu," Lulu corrected trying to cover up the fact she enjoyed receiving such respectful titles form such a handsome man. Cloud just rolled his eyes as Cid grew flustered with Vincent. "So Wakka tells me you men are quite the fighters"
"We do what we can Lulu," Cloud replied.
"Its quite funny how Wakka is prone to finding new comers who could possible become one of Yuna's guardians"
"What do you mean"
"He came across a stranger just yesterday, Yuna has already asked him to come with her, you can come if you want"
"Sure," shouted Cid his eye's popping out of his head. "What he means, would you want us to," Cloud asked calmly trying not to blow their chance like Cid almost did.
"It wouldn't mean you're her guardians but you can come for the ride, I trust Wakka's judgment and if he says you men are trustworthy, I believe him." "When do we leave"
"As soon as she come out of the temple," Lulu replied. Cloud nodded as Cid smiled from ear to ear. Vincent began to read Wakka who was staring off into space. The moment grew silent and awkward until Lulu broke it.
"Are you hungry"
"No," Vincent replied.
"Just because you're a fucking vampire doesn't mean we have to starve"
"No, Cid he's right, we can eat on the way there"
"You're a vampire," Wakka asked as his eyes widened and goose bumps arose up and down his arms.
"Yes"
"Interesting," Lulu added.
"Don't get hungry on us," Wakka with a hint of fear in his tone. "Don't worry he eats off moogles," Cid replied sarcastically. Lulu gasped holding her moogle tighter.
"He's joking," Cloud replied very annoyed and growing impatient.
