Well it happened again y'all. Writer's block sucks... Actually it's not really writer's block. I just don't have much motivation to update my other fics. I don't know, they're so old and long, it's becoming boring to write, ever have one of those days? Well anyways, I was going to start a new fic, even though I have like eight incomplete ones as it is (Holy crap!) Then I remembered that I have this! You guys seemed to like this, though I think I lost my humor after the first chapter lol. That's the funniest I can get, it's actually quite pathetic really. Well anyways, let's see how this one turns out, nay?
Disclaimer- Hmm... If I had a penny for every time I had to type this I'd almost have a dollar by now.
Scene- Takes place after AVALANCHE gets the Key Stone.
Warning- Uh... this chapter may not be suitable for little kids who can't take a swear word, well, a lot of them since we have the good Ole Pilot Cid in this chapter heh heh heh.
Cloud Gets His Revenge, Sort Of
Cloud sits up from his sleeping bag for what seems like the hundredth time that night. No matter how hard he tries, he just can't seem to get to sleep, the thought of the Temple Of Ancients being just a few miles away is really starting to get to him. Deciding he won't being getting any sleep tonight, he gets out of his sleeping bag, and grabs the pile of clothing at his side. An amused smile crosses his lips as he remembers the expression on a certain ninja's face when he told her that he sleeps naked, although it was a few weeks ago, he still finds her reaction quite amusing.
Snapping the last piece of armor on, although he doesn't even know why he bothered putting them on, he heads out of his tent. Cloud tilts his head to the side as he raises an eyebrow at Cid. Cloud can hardly believe it, he obviously lost the bet against Yuffie. The bet between the two was whether or not Cid smokes in his sleep. And there he is, his arms crossed, his eyes closed, and his mouth slightly open with a lit cigarette dangling between his lips. Cloud doesn't even want to know how the pilot is able to do that.
Walking over to the pile of wood the group collected before making camp, he throws a few logs into the small fire, giving the starving fire more food. He stands next to the fire as the wood crackles and pops. Walking to the other side of the fire where a large log sits, Barret dragged it over so they had something to sit on, rather than the ground. Cloud glances around the campsite, realizing that there's suppose to be another person on watch duty. But the only one tonight is Cid and he's sleeping. 'Who else suppose to be on watch duty?' Cloud thinks to himself.
The snapping of a twig, causes Cloud to glance over to his right, his brows raises in surprise as Yuffie staggers towards him, clutching her stomach and her face a lovely shade of green. "Urgh... I'm dieing." Yuffie comments before literally falling into Cloud's lap, causing him to fall backwards off the log, and taking the ninja with him. "I don't feel so good." Yuffie says from on top of you get off of me?" Cloud asks, feeling a bit uncomfortable with her sprawled across him, especially since it looks like she's about to vomit at any moment.
Yuffie clutches his shirt tightly in her fists as she tries to hide her face in his chest, "I think I'm going to puke." She replies sickly. "Urk!"
Quicker than humanly possible, Cloud jumps to his feet, literally throwing Yuffie three feet away from him before she spoils his clothes. When she hits the ground he hears laughter coming from Cid, than Yuffie begins laughing as she pushes herself to her feet, confusing the blonde swordsman to no end. "What's... going on?" Cloud asks confused.
"I got you!" Yuffie announces, than turns triumphantly towards Cid, "There! We had to wait forever for someone to come out, but I did it! Now we can go with the next hand."
"Next hand?" Cloud repeats confused. His answer comes in the form of a deck of cards being pulled out of Cid's pockets. Realization dawns on Cloud as he realizes what they're talking about. Apparently, Yuffie had convinced Cid to play poker with her, and evidently, the stakes are the same from when she played against him the first night she joined the group. But of course, he's still convinced that she cheated that night. "You're playing poker."
Cid smirks to himself, "Damn straight, the first hand was dealt an hour ago, I fucking won it but we had to wait for one of you lazy asses to get up and out of the tent so she could do what I told her."
Yuffie gives a smirk of her own as she inches her way towards Cloud, "You want to join in the game?"
"No." Cloud replies immediately.
"What's the matter, too much of a fucking sissy to play a game of poker?" Cid asks while he shuffles the deck.
"Yuffie cheats." Cloud answers.
"What? I dun cheat. You just suck." Yuffie replies. Cloud crosses his arms and gives her a knowing look. Yuffie crosses her own arms, trying to mimic Cloud, "If I cheat, than Cid wouldn't of been able to beat me."
Now that he thought about it, he did say he'd get his revenge for Yuffie making Cloud crawl into Tifa's tent that night, the memory of what happened than still makes a chill go down his spine, he hasn't looked at Tifa in the same prospective since than. Plus, from what it looks like, Cid is the dealer, so Yuffie wouldn't be able to cheat, hopefully. Giving a defeated sigh Cloud sits back down, "Fine I'll play." He announces.
Yuffie grins from ear to ear, "Well now that there's three players, the game changes a bit, the person who wins the hand, chooses one of the other two to do something, and the dealer is changed each hand."
Cloud nods his head in understanding. Cid flicks his cigarette off to the side, before puling out another one and lighting it up. "Since this is a new game, I'll deal first." He deals out the cards and each looks at their hands. After exchanging what cards they didn't want to see, they were ready. "What's your fucking hand brat?" Cid asks.
Yuffie shoots him a dirty look for at the name brat before showing her two pair. Cid turns his gaze to Cloud, "Well blondie?" Cloud scratches the back of his head and chuckles embarrassedly before showing his hand, which contained nothing but an Ace high card. Cid raises an eyebrow at the hand, "You officially suck at this game."
"I was trying to go for a flush." Cloud says defensively.
Cid looks at the hand again, "You only have two cards that have the same fucking suite!"
Cloud scratches the back of his head, "Yea well.. I didn't have anything better to go for."
"Alright Mr. Smokestack, stop stalling, show us your hand." Yuffie says, getting impatient.
Cid scratches his chin before putting down three twos, followed by a smirk, "Guess I won." Yuffie crosses her arms and gives a huff. Cloud rolls his eyes before putting his cards in the discard pile. Cid glances back and forth between the two, "Well, since I already got the brat to do something, and she's not old enough to do this next thing." Yuffie raises an eyebrow at the comment. "I choose blondie here. And I order you to buy me a carton of cigarettes at the next town we go to."
Cloud shrugs his shoulder, "Ok." He answers uncaringly, he'd rather buy a carton of cigarettes than do something Yuffie has in mind.
"Cloud!" Yuffie leans in and begins whispering in his ear, giving glances over to Cid. When she's finished, Cloud grins and nods his head, followed by Yuffie snickering. Cid glances between the two suspiciously before handing the deck to Yuffie. Yuffie can't help but grin as she deals out the cards.
After each show their hands
"I win!" Yuffie chimes. Cid gives a few words of his own before tossing his cards in the pile. Cloud's smiling the entire time, knowing what's coming up next. "I pick Mr. Smokestack." Yuffie says immediately.
Cid smirks to himself, "Yea, give me your worse you fucking brat." He challenges.
"My worst huh?" Yuffie says thoughtfully, she can't help but let the grin on her face widen, "Every time you curse you have to give Cloud and I a hundred Gil!" She says triumphantly.
"What!? You can't fucking do that!" Cloud and Yuffie hold out their hands. Cid clamps his mouth shut, preventing the string of curses that threaten to come out. He digs into his pocket and gives the two fifty Gil each.
"Uh... I said a hundred, as in a hundred each." Yuffie says.
Cid hands them another fifty Gil, "This is fucking bullshit." Cloud and Yuffie's hands go right back out. "GOD DAMNIT!" Cid shouts digging in his pockets to hand them, now, three hundred Gil each. In the course of one minute he already lost eight hundred Gil. If he keeps this up, he'll be selling all he has. He'll just win the next hand and make Yuffie take back what she said.
Yuffie grins as she pockets the money before glancing over to Cloud, "Well that ought a be more than enough for the cigarettes." She comments. Cloud chuckles himself before taking the deck of cards and reshuffling them. If Cid can't handle the no cursing thing, wait until he loses next hand.
Once everyone has their hands
"Pair of Aces" Yuffie shows her hand.
Cid smirks, "I got three Kings. I win, Now I choose you brat to take back what you said."
Yuffie shakes her head, "You didn't let Cloud show his hand." Yuffie points out.
Cid rolls his eyes, "Like he ever fucking wins." Cloud and Yuffie hold out their hands. Cid growls but doesn't make a comment as he reaches into his pocket to hand them another hundred each. "Alright so what did you fucking have." Another hundred each.
Cloud scratches the side of his head as he stares at his hand in thought he puts down three Queens, Cid smirks, knowing his three Kings beats his three Queens, that is until Cloud also puts down two Jacks, "Full house." Cloud announces triumphantly.
"God Damnit!" Cid shouts, Cloud and Yuffie hold out their hands, "God Damnit!" Cid says again before reaching in is pocket to get four hundred Gil, two hundred for each of them.
Cloud pockets money and grins, "I'll choose... Cid!" He says. Cid crosses his arms inhaling the smoke of his cigarette as he waits for Cloud to tell him what to do. Cloud leans forward and plucks the cigarette out of Cid mouth, followed by taking the pack of cigarettes that are tucked in Cid's visor, "You can't smoke."
"Oh that's good." Yuffie comments immediately.
"WHAT!?" Cid shouts, jumping to his feet, "YOU CAN'T FUCKING DO THAT! THAT'S FUCKING NUTS! THAT'S BULLSHIT, WHAT KIND OF SHIT ARE YOU FUCKING PULLING YOU MOTHERFUCKER, I FUCKING SWEAR I'LL SHOVE MY FUCKING SPEAR SO FAR UP YOUR FUCKING SCRAWNY ASS YOU FUCKING PRICK! THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!"
When he's down shouting, Cloud and Yuffie are several feet away from him, finding it smart to put some distance between themselves and Cid in his tirade. After a moment, Yuffie turns to Cloud, "How many was that."
Cloud shakes his head, "I have no idea, I lost track."
Cid continues to curse as he walks away from the campsite, needing some fresh air, although, he's already outside, he just needs to get away from the group before he accidentally throws a dynamite at the two. "Guess he quits." Yuffie says amusedly. "Well..." She turns her gaze back to Cloud, "How about one more hand?" Cloud shrugs his shoulders and they walk back to the campfire to play one last hand.
Yuffie snickers to herself as she deals the cards, Cloud himself, doesn't seem affected by her snickering, just keeping calm expression on his face, "How many you want?" Yuffie asks.
Cloud takes one card out his hand and tosses it to her. Yuffie raises an eyebrow, "You just want one?" She asks confused.
"Yup" Cloud replies.
"Well, don't you want to get rid of the crappy cards?" Yuffie asks.
"That was the 'crappy' card, as you call it" Cloud says, keeping his tone neutral.
Yuffie brows lower in thought, 'I could of sworn I dealt him a pair of two, a eight, six, and a jack.' "Are you trying to bluff me?" Yuffie asks.
Cloud raises an eyebrow at her, "Why would I do that? It's not like I lose anything if I lose the hand."
Yuffie shakes her head, "Fine, it's your choice." Yuffie says as she gives him a card, then exchanging two of her own. She smirks at her hand. "Three of a kind." Yuffie announces triumphantly, as she smirks at Cloud. Cloud gives a smirk of his own as he shows her his own hand. Yuffie's mouth hangs open as she stares at the four Aces in his hand, 'How the hell... I didn't give him that, I'm sure of it!'
Cloud grins as he taps his finger on his chin, while trying to think of something good. Cloud snaps his fingers, "I got it!" He begins chuckling to himself.
"What?" Yuffie asks a bit uncertain.
"You have to sleep naked for the next month."
"What!?" Yuffie face heats up.
"I'm joking." Cloud laughs.
Yuffie crosses her arms and waits.
"You seem to like kisses." Cloud says suddenly.
"Huh?" Yuffie says confused.
"Well there was the first night, where you made me kiss. Then there was last night where you dragged me all over Gold Saucer and then kissed me on the tram ride." That comment makes Yuffie's face heat up a bit, "So... I want you to go into." Cloud takes a moment to laugh, "Vincent's tent and kiss him... on the lips."
"Are you crazy!?" Yuffie shrieks, "I'm not kissing a vampire much less a person who'll shoot me for it!" She says waving her hands above her head frantically.
Cloud smirks, "Well, you made me go into Tifa tent making her think I want to..." Cloud shudders, "So I'm making you do that. Unless the so called Greatest Female Ninja is afraid."
"Fine!" Yuffie says jumping to her feet and begin heading towards Vincent's tent. Cloud covers his mouth, trying to conceal the amused grin that's across his face. Yuffie, as quietly as she can, unzip the black tent and sneaks into Vincent's tent. She stands next to the silent Vincent and immediately a problem appears. His cloak. It covers half his face. Though she always wondered what his face looks like, she'd rather not find out that he's some ugly crippled old man just before she kisses him. 'Eww... Gawd, he better not turn out to be like a skeleton.'
She grasps his cloak firmly with one hand as she gets down on her knees. She closes her eyes and leans down as she pulls his cloak away from his face. Yuffie opens her eyes as she kisses him to see Vincent staring at her with wide crimson eyes. She quickly pulls away, forgetting her grip on his cloak until she tears it. She backs away as Vincent jumps to his feet and glares at her. If looks could kill, she'd be dead, but than again, Vincent doesn't need to kill with looks since he's got his gun.
And to Yuffie, she just realized a few things. One, she isn't paying attention to the fact that Vincent had picked her up by the waist of her shorts and is carrying her out. Two, her face has never felt so hot before. The last thing she realized is that, under all the layers of clothing and the face concealed underneath the cloak which happens to be Vincent's, is that it's not an old man's or a skeletons. 'Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!' Yuffie thinks to herself. 'Oh my GAWD! I just kissed a really HOT guy!' Yuffie thinks just before she hits the ground outside of Vincent's tent. The sound of Vincent's tent being zipped up shakes her out of her thoughts.
Cloud is chuckling as he walks over to Yuffie, "Well?" He asks.
Yuffie glances up at Cloud from the ground, her eyes wide, "Vinnie is fricken hot!" She squeals.
The grin on Cloud's face drops, "What?"
"Oh my Gawd! I think I died and went to heaven! Mmm... Vinnie." Cloud raises an eyebrow. "Now if only he didn't have demons lurking in his body, an ugly ass claw, and if only he wasn't a maniac depressant. If he wasn't those I'd stalk him the rest of my life!" Yuffie announces. "But since he has a personality as a lump on a log." Yuffie nods her head, "I can see why that Lucrecia chick dumped him."
GGGRRRRRRR
The next thing Cloud knows is that Yuffie is running for dear life as the Galion Beast chases her out of the campsite roaring through the night. Crossing his arms behind his head he heads back towards the fire, 'Watch duty isn't that bad.' He decides.
Well everyone, there ya go. Hmm let me think, first chapter, good. Second, alright. This one, longer, but doesn't have much humor, a few here and there. Oh well, at least I had something to do to pass the time right? Heh heh heh. Well if there's still anyone reading this, review and tell me what ya think. TTNC!
