I crept across the roof agilely, being careful not to make them aware of my presence. Being the great ninja that I am, I made it to the other end of the roof and kept low as I watched them talking. Why, of all places (and times) would Sora and Tidus be talking in the ally at 1 in the morning? Of course a normal person would turn around and just go home before their favorite re-run of Three's a company too came on, but I'm not a normal person.
Why am I on the roof, you ask? I'm a ninja—this is what I do. I creep around and ease drop on people. It comes in very handy when needing to blackmail someone. I could barely hear a word the boys were saying, so I decided to climb down lower.
I managed to jump down onto a small balcony on the third floor without making a sound. I'm just too good at this skulking thing. As I was complimenting myself in my head I forgot to watch where I was going and accidentally knocked over a small pot of dandelions. Flowers only made me think of Aerith. I held my breath and waited, the boys had stopped talking.
Finally I heard Sora's voice, "Okaaay..well I'm gonna go, I've gotta get up early tomorrow."
NO. Darnit.
"Alright—oh, and good luck with that..thing."
What thing?
"Yeah. Thanks."
"I still think you ought to tell Yuffie."
TELL ME WHAT!
Sora made a face and then just shrugged replying with, "I don't know. She might not feel the same way about it as I do—I mean…whatever. I'll see ya tomorrow, dude."
The two did some strange handshake and then departed down opposite ends of the ally. I want to learn a silly handshake. I'm jealous.
For the first time in like, forever…I got up before my alarm even went off. I needed to wake up before Sora did and follow him—I was dying to figure out what he wouldn't let me on.
I rolled out of bed with (shocker) bed head and a small trace of drool leakage from my mouth. Ewe. After a cold shower, I threw on a pair of jeans and a hoodie and then hurried out of the suite. I thought I'd stalk him downstairs and out of the hotel, but I decided it'd be safer to wait for him outside.
So I sat there on the roof of the Gizmo shop for about twenty minutes when he finally came out. It was hard for me to sit still so long—but I did it. As soon as he exited the hotel doors he pulled on his hood, shoved his hands in his pockets and then started walking towards the first district. I decided it'd be smart to pull on my hood as well, it was freezing; plus my ears were getting numb. I swiftly jumped off the ledge and started following closely behind him. Poor oblivious Sora, didn't even know a ninja was walking only a few steps behind him, watching his every move. If I were a heartless he'd so be dead right now—and if I weren't secretly on a stakeout, I'd have pounced on him already and fake-assassinated him.
I hate when I have to restrain myself from doing things.
He was walking pretty fast, faster than his usual pace anyway. I sped up a bit still making sure to stay unnoticed. Suddenly he made a sharp turn around a corner and then…he was gone. Ok. Like—how weird was that? I studied the area. I was standing in the small ally beside Cid's shop. There was no door, only a few crates and trash scattered on the floor. I furrowed my brows in frustration. Like, how the heck did he get away from me? And..so quickly. I jumped up on the crates and onto the roof. I scanned all of first district and then went on to search through third. After a while I lost interest in it and decided to go stalk someone else.
"Yuffie!"
"Oops. Sorry!" I slammed the door shut and took a few steps away from the door. Who knew Squall liked to go commando around his house. I'm going to have to drop by more often.
I decided I'd stand out there for a while longer. After what seemed to be a kazillion (ok maybe just two) minutes Leon stepped out of his house and just glared at me. This time he was fully dressed. Well not really..he had on a gray t-shirt and batman boxers.
Batman is not as cool as Spiderman.
"What are you doing here?" he whipped his hair to the left getting his wet bangs out of his face. I guess he just got out of the shower and was going commando cause he ran out of clean towels? Hm..
"Yuffie?" he cocked up one eyebrow and then crossed his arms.
I squinted and tried to return somewhat of a glare, "WELL…I was bored and out of victims to torture, so I thought I'd come by and say 'hello' to my favoritest person in the entire world, SQUAALLIE." He cringed and I just grinned.
"I'm not in the mood to baby-sit today Yuff.." He turned around and started for the door. I darted in front of him and planted my feet on the ground hoping not to get bulldozed over as he ran into me. Amazingly he didn't, I must be stronger than I thought. "I am NOT a baby!"
He folded his arms across his chest and tilted his head to the side, "I still see you as a kid."
I poked him in the forehead, "Maybe it's just cause you're oooold."
Saturday-entry 19
So I figured it's not a good idea to tease Leon about how old he is.
I have the missing shoe to prove it. That weirdo just STOLE my left shoe. That was my favorite left shoe, too. But I'd understand, you know, who can resist checkered vans (with turquoise shoelaces)? No one.
I held my breath and jumped off the little island. I landed in the water with a ginormous splash, joining the other two, Pedro and Kairi. We'd gotten bored and decided to go hang out on the small island across the bridge.
I did back strokes and tried to avoid paopu fruits that were thrown at me. I'd get them back later for that, even though I did dodge each fruit thrown at me. Yeah, darn my ninjaness. Riku was next to jump in the water. He purposely dove in so closely to scare me. That man-whore. I looked down and all I saw was a flash of silver, then he was gone. Yeah, he was up to something. I rushed over to the ladder and climbed up quickly, but he got a hold of my ankle and yanked me back into the water. I could feel Christy's glare burning into the back of my head. I wrenched myself away from him and made my escape. The boys were laughing the whole time.
Destiny Islands was beautiful. We were staying at Sora's house, well most of us were. There weren't enough rooms so I volunteered to stay in the tree house near the beach. Selphie decided she'd stay there with me.
We were still playing in the water when the sun started setting. Kairi randomly started singing 'My humps'. Riku eventually joined in. That song is bizarrely very catchy.
"You have lady lumps?" Squall's voice came out of nowhere. Riku stopped singing and turned around to look at him.
"Jealous?" Riku just received a weird look and then Aerith interrupted.
"You guys ready to go out for something to eat? I'm hungry."
"I am." I stood up and patted the sand off my butt.
After dinner Selph and I headed back towards the tree house. We were halfway there when Sora popped up out of nowhere and pulled me aside.
"Yuff.." now in a whisper, "I haven't been completely honest with you."
I looked at Selphie who was standing a few feet behind him, "What're you talking about?"
He reached in his pocket, "I went to a Kelly Clarkson concert." He said pulling a ticket stub.
Sora, who's a bassist from a punk band, secretly listens to Kelly Clarkson? I had to force myself to not laugh. I mean, she's an awesome singer—Sora just surprised me.
"I love her!" Selphie joined in the conversation.
Sora turned red and shoved the ticket back in his pocket, "I'll see you guys later."
As soon as he was out of earshot Selphie and I broke out into a stomach-hurting laugh.
Sorry bout that strange Kelly Clarkson thing, I caught my dad (a ginormous dude who likes bands like slipknot or nirvana) listening to her song the other day and it just gave me the giggles.
