Hey guys. I know you wanted the Chapters to be longer, but just bear with me. This is actually the first fan fic I ever wrote, and it is undergoing major revision, before I post it up. That's why the chapter's are so short, because I've had to cut a lot out of them. I promise they will get longer. Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Finding AVALANCHE

Yuffie and Vincent arrived in Rocket Town late that night. They were both exhausted, but Yuffie insisted on finding Cid right away.

"Well, let's try his house first, since it's so late," Vincent said wearily.

"Okay, let's go," Yuffie replied.

The two of them arrived at Cid's door a few moments later. Shera answered almost immediately after they knocked. "Yuffie, Vincent! It's great to see you guys. Come in. I'll get Cid." A few moments later, he stood before them.

"Damn! Look what the cat dragged in. You two look like shit!" Cid said.

Yuffie sighed. Typical Cid.

"I'm sorry," he said coming over to shake Vincent's hand and hug Yuffie. "So what brings the two of you here?" Cid asked noticing the protective arm Vincent had around Yuffie's waist. So the two of them finally got together, he thought to himself, putting his own arm around Shera.

"Well last night, my father was kidnapped by the Turks. Vincent and I talked about it, and thought it might be a good idea to get AVALANCHE back together to find him. You were closest so we thought we would start here. I realize it's a lot to ask---" Yuffie began.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa…. There is nothing to big for you to ask of me Yuffie. I will do anything I can to help. If you want to get AVALANCHE back together and go after the damn Turks, then that's what we'll do," Cid replied.

"Can we use the Highwind?" Yuffie asked.

"Hell yeah. Let me go get my battle gear." Cid went upstairs and came down ready to go a few minutes later.

"Shera, would you mind taking care of my chocobos for a little while?" Yuffie asked.

"Of course not," Shera said and gave Yuffie and Vincent a hug.

Cid leaned down and kissed Shera deeply. "I'll be back soon, baby, I promise," he whispered to her. With that they were off.

"Where do you suggest we go next?" Vincent asked Cid.

"The Gold Saucer. That damned Cait Sith is probably ripping of some poor schmuck as we speak, with his fortune telling. I say we go get him and then head to Cosmo Canyon in the morning. We can call the rest of them and have them meet us there."

"Sounds like a plan to me," Yuffie spoke up, standing still, trying to control her motion sickness. Just when she thought she was going to lose her breakfast, she felt Vincent's strong arms wrap around her. She leaned into his embrace, breathing in his exotic scent. She turned to face him, burying her face in his chest. Cid watched them out of the corner of his eye curiously. Yuffie and Vincent were the last two people he expected to end up together. He watched as Vincent kissed her and then walked off to get her a tranquilizer. Cid smiled to himself. He was glad the two of them had found each other. It seemed to have matured Yuffie, and made Vincent more light-hearted about things.

They picked up Cait Sith and headed for Cosmo Canyon, where they could rest, and wait for the rest of the gang to show up.
