I really can't get this song out of my head. ARGH, I'm mad cause I can only remember parts of it.

Am I loud and clear or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm or am I just bad luck?

Wednesday-entry 17

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I GOT A JOB AT THE RECORD STORE!

I start Saturday—it's soo cool. I get to listen to music and hang out with my friends all day.

I set my guitar on it's stand and then walked out into the living room. Cloud's keys were on the bookshelf. The living room was empty, so I checked the kitchen.

"You're up early," Cloud commented. I think he's being sarcastic cause it's almost 4pm. I walked over to where he was at the dining table and sat down. "Hey Yuff…"

I didn't pay attention to what he said I was distracted by the large bowl of candy on the table. I reached out to grab some, but he slapped my hand. "Geeze, what was that for?"

"That's for the trick-or-treaters."

"Hey. I'm going trick-or-treating later."

"Aren't you a little old for that?"

"You can never be too old to dress up and get free candy." I looked out the window and then pointed, "Ooo. BIRD!" still pointing at the 'bird' I looked down at Cloud, he was just giving me a dull stare. Plan B: "Look at those knockers." he snapped his head in the direction of the 'knockers'.

Snatch.

I darted out of the room. I sat outside on one of the benches and munched on my freshly stolen candy. Of course I shared some Sweet Tarts with the hobo who slept on this bench everyday. Yes, I made a new friend. He's the homeless guy I stepped on a long time ago, his name's Lou. I call him Edward though, I don't know why.

"So are you going trick-or-treating later Edward?"

"I don't have a costume."

"…Go as a Hobo."

He thought for a minute, "Good idea."

I grinned, "Well, I'll talk to you later Ed. I gotta go find my best friend. We need to figure out what route to go on tonight—we're going to wear four different costumes."

"What for?"

"So we can go to the same houses more than once. DUH!" I jumped up and skipped off toward the first district.

Are we getting closer or are we just getting more lost?

I knew I'd find him here, but I was surprised to find him with Riku.

"Yeah, dude, that's exactly what I was talking about," Sora took a bite out of his cheese pizza (he doesn't like pepperoni—how the heck do I remember that?) "Like, how cool would that be?" I have no clue what they're talking about.

Riku laughed and agreed. He leaned back in his chair and then spotted me, "Oh hey, Yuffie."

"Hi guys." I looked around before I sat down with them. I'm waiting for Christy to pop out of no where right about….now. Nope—no Christy. This is so weird.

"You want some pizza?" Sora offered his half-eaten slice of pizza.

I laughed and shook my head, "I need to save room in my stomach for all the candy I'm gonna eat later. You should be doing the same."

He leaned back and patted his tummy, "Trust me, I'll still have room for candy."

"Ha, no way—you guys are going trick-or-treating?" Sora and I both nodded our heads. "Oh c'mon, you guys are what, 16? Aren't you a little old for that?"

"Shut up Riku, you know you're dying to go too."

He grinned, "I've only got one costume."

"Ooo. I've got a half-open Tootsie Roll." Sora held up the damaged candy and stared at it like he was hypnotized by it.

Riku popped a bubble with his gum and then couldn't resist a dare, "Eat it."

"No way, it's open."

"Do it."

Sora shrugged, "Ok." Sora's so easily convinced. He then tore off the wrapper and tossed it in his mouth. A few seconds later he started making gagging sounds at the same time gasping for air. He fell onto the ground and lay still.

"Sora?" …… "Oh c'mon Sora. Get up you nerd." I threw Jocko's chew toy at him (which by the way was covered with slobber, yuk). He didn't move.

"What if he's really dead?" Riku asked getting off my bed. Darn—I was so hoping he'd stay there longer.

I set my large bag of candy (energy of life) next to me on the futon and walked over to where the 'lifeless Sora laid'. I stood over him and looked down, "I don't know. Let's check if he's really dead or not."

"How do we do that?" Riku unwrapped a new Bubble Yum.

"Let's kick him in the nuts—"

"Ok I'm not dead!" Sora rolled over and crawled away from me.

Riku and I couldn't stop laughing. We laughed and laughed 'til both our stomachs hurt. I don't really know why, I'm pretty sure it was just all the candy we had devoured within the past hour.

I woke up with Jocko staring at me. I fell asleep on the living room floor. Riku was sprawled out on the couch and Sora was sleeping on me. My stomach was being used as his pillow. And now I have sudden flash backs of myself using his butt as a pillow. I still haven't figured out whether he farted or not that night.

Jocko licked my face. Gosh his breath stinks, though mine is probably worst right now.

"Hi Jocko." I murmured. My voice wasn't really there. I pushed myself up, trying to be careful not to wake Sora up in the process. I gently lifted his head off of me and then my hand slipped and I dropped his head on the floor.

"Ow.." he groaned.

Poo. I rolled over onto my stomach and pretended to be asleep again.

I heard him sit up and let out another groan. I think we all feel like shit cause we over did it on the candy last night. Or maybe his head just hurt cause I dropped it. Oh well.

I slowly rolled over back onto my back and pretended to wake up.

He looked at me really groggily and whispered, "hi."

I just smiled. My breath stunk and didn't feel like talking.

He looks like he's having a hang over. He was tired, his eyes were half-open, his hair was a mess and he had dried drool crusted on his face. I want to laugh at him—but I didn't really have the energy to. Ugh..I wonder how horrible I look like right now.

Oh crud. If he drooled last night that means—YUUUK. I need to wash this shirt.

"Uh…Yuffie." Sora scratched his head.

"Yeah Sora?"

"Your dog—"

I turned around to see what Sora was talking about. "OH NOO. JOCKO!" My stupid dog was peeing on Aerith's new rug. Aerith is soo not going to be happy about this. Jocko put his leg back down, wondered what he did wrong and then ran into the kitchen.

I sighed and then heard Sora start laughing, "That sucks."

"Yeah it does."

"You gonna clean it?"

"No. If Aerith asks I'll blame Cloud." I turned around to see if Riku was up yet. No he wasn't. "You wanna help me wake Riku up?"

"Sure." Sora got up and grabbed a throw pillow.

We counted to three then both attacked him. We both jumped on him screaming, "Wake up sleeping beauty!" and pummeled him with pillows and someone accidentally whacked him with the remote control. It wasn't me, I swear.

He didn't wake up.

Ok that's it. I ran into Aerith's room and came back out with her makeup bag.

"No way." Sora dropped his pillow.

"Yes way." I put on an evil grin and handed him an eyeliner and a marker (it's ok—Aerith does not put marker on her face, I got the marker from my room..not that I wear marker. I got it from my desk ok).

The first thing I did was apply fire truck-red lipstick. Riku has very pretty lips. Then Sora put on the eyeliner, which turned out horrible so then we put extremely bright blue eye-shadow on him and then with the black sharpie I had Sora hold on to while we ruined Riku's perfect face, I wrote (on his forehead): YUFFIE'S WHORE

Perfect.

Lets unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words
we live on front porches and swing life away
we get by just fine here on minimum wage

5:34pm

Sora and I sat in my room playing video games when we heard Riku (from the bathroom) screaming his head off. We looked at each other and sprinted towards the exit. Unfortunately Sora beat me to the front door and before I got out, Riku grabbed me the forearm and dragged me down on the floor with him. I tied to roll away from him but he wrapped his arms around me and accidentally poked me in the ribs in the process. I screamed and let out a small laugh. He arched his right brow and then poked me in the stomach again. He just looked at me with a smirk on his face.

"So it's true.." he inhaled, "The Great Ninja Yuffie DOES have a weakness." his smirk turned into an evil grin as my eyes widened.

"Oh c'mon guys, do you HAVE to do that in the living room?" Sora joked as he walked back into the room. Riku quickly reached for a nearby pillow and chucked it at him. It hit Sora square in the face. Good aim. Not as good as mine ofcourse, but i have to admit, he has a good aim.

"Oh this is soo cool. We don't have to wear uniforms or ugly aprons. I love this."

First day of work.

Nicky laughed at my enthusiasm to be at work. "Is this your first job?"

"Yeah." I hopped up onto the counter and started fiddling with Cds. "So what are we supposed to be doing?"

He bagged a couple of CDs and handed them to a costumer, "You? You just walk around and wait for people to ask you for help. Like……unless you're supposed to be working behind the register or something."

I nodded, "Ok. So like—what if I don't know the answer to their question?"

"Usually they just ask where they can find a certain CD but if it really is a question you can't answer—just mumble or point in a random direction."

Saturday-entry 18

So work wasn't that bad. I quite enjoyed it.

I learned from Nicky to mumble when I don't know how to answer customers.

That's nice. Hah ha. Tomorrow I'll be trained how to use the cash register—FUN. Nicky's really cute, Selphie says that I'm totally luck that I get to work with him everyday. Not really everyday, just weekends. But whatever, Nicky's hot. I complimented his lip piercing during break and he said, "Thanks, i pierced it myself in July." That's kinda gross, I would never pierce myself or have a friend do it for me. But then again he did a pretty good job, and it suits him so well.

I still can't get this friggin song out of my head. I'll be like, just doing whatever I do during the day and then i remember another line from the song. It'll probably take me a billion years to remember the entire thing.

If love is a labor ill slave 'til the end
I wont cross these streets until you hold my hand

"Just jump."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah—I'm sure."

We're standing on top of the Gizmo Shop.

"Are you a hundred percent sure?"

Sora sighed, "Yes, I AM SURE Yuffie. C'mon."

I hummed as I debated against myself in my head.

"Alright—here take my hand." I just stared at his hand, "I promise you won't die." he grinned. I looked over the edge and at the ground, how reassuring.

The fearless Ninja that i am though forced me to just say, "……Fine. Let's do this."

I grabbed hold of his hand and we jumped off the edge of the building. We were flying. Well, not FLYING-flying, but we glided off the Gizmo shop and landed at the other end of the district. It was so much fun and really scary at the same time—sorta like a roller coaster.

I looked around and was so happy/surprised we didn't die. "OH MY GOD! We did it!" we were standing right in front of the doors leading to first district now. I started running back towards the Gizmo Shop.

"Where are you going?"

"I wanna do that again!" I pushed trough the Shop doors.

"I've been here so long I think that its time to move
the winter's so cold summer's over too soon
lets pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow
and I've got some friends some that I hardly know"

"What are you singing?"

"I don't know—but I can't get it out of my head."

"Oh." Tidus took the lid on his soda off and tried to get some ice. All the ice spilled out onto his face and I couldn't help but laugh at him. Poor Tidus.

"K. Winter break—where do you guys wanna go?" Riku sat down with a pen and notepad, ready to right down options of where to go for vacation.

"I say we go to Destiny Islands, I want to be somewhere warm." Christy said while twirling her bleached-blonde hair around a finger.

"Alright. Reno, where do you wanna go?"

"Anywhere that has a bunch of hot chicks." He replied as he attempted to get his right arm around my shoulders. I shoved him and then he started tickling me. Everyone knows I'm super ticklish and they take that to their advantage.

"Yuff?"

I finally got myself to stop laughing and then traded spots with Pedro, "Um…I don't really care. The beach sounds fun."

Sora put his hands behind his head, "I wanna go snowboarding."

"I agree with the ladies and Reno, the beach sounds fun and I'm sure there will be tons of hot chicks running around in bikinis there." Reno and Wakka laughed and high-fived each other.

Tidus said, "Doesn't matter where we go—as long as we get outta Traverse Town." Pedro and Yuna said the same thing.

"Ok. Destiny Islands it is then." Riku tossed the notepad over his shoulder.

We've had some times I wouldn't trade for the world

I'd put soo many curse words right here, but I'll restrain myself from doing so and just say

I'm thinking about a new title (and chapter titles)..
