The sunlight shown through the window and flooded the small room. It splashed into the closed eyes of the sleeping Cloud Strife. He groaned and placed a pillow over his face hoping to get a few more minutes of shuteye. Cloud knew that was impossible, though, as long as young, energetic Yuffie Kisaragi was somewhere close by. Just as predicted, Yuffie burst into Cloud's room, hopped onto the bed, and started jumping up and down.

"Hey, Spike, wake your butt up!" she yelled. "Get up NOW!"

Cloud sat up and tried pushing Yuffie off the bed but she was too quick. He decided he better get up before Yuffie became angry and he knew better than to get her angry. Cloud swung his legs over the side of the bed and wiped the sleep from his eyes.

"Ok, I'm up," Cloud said.

"Yay!" Yuffie exclaimed as she jumped down off the bed and ran out of the room and downstairs. Cloud had to smirk as she left.

"So young she is," he thought as he stood and headed downstairs.
