Ah yes, what another fun day. The sky is bright, the trees are singing and it is peaceful in Cloud Strife's mind…

Ha.

Couldn't you catch the sarcastic tone in my voice?

Actually I'm stuck here waiting in Hollow Bastion. Tifa's forcing me to do this or she'll show "the picture" to "The guys". (Zack, Leon, Sora, Riku, Tidus, Wakka ect.) Ah yes, the picture that she took of me… almost kissing the Barron. I mean, I did that to save her life! Well, almost. She would have gotten raped if I hadn't saved her, but still.

So I'm waiting tables. Not only do most people turn to leave when they see me, but when they don't they stare continuously. Not that I blame them or anything, I mean wouldn't you stare if some gay had changing blue glowing eyes, a large wing on his back, and large spikes that stood straight up?

Yeah, I thought so.

Yuffie Kisaragi's mind wondered around in her mind as she wondered about the streets of Hollow Bastion. Boredom can do many things.

I skipped about the markets, looking for someone to annoy. Normally this is easy, but I don't want to pick on the wrong people. People can get pretty mean around here. Not that I, the great-ninja-Yuffie, can't take them on!

You make me laugh.

Anyway, I skipped around the corner of a building and heard some familiar voices. I recognized them to be some girls at school that I knew. The dramatic preps.

I found it would be interesting to see what they were talking about. They're always gossiping about someone, normally some innocent outsider because they're too bored with their lame lives.

I snuck to the side of the trashcan and heard the first girl, Tanisha, speak.

"You know that annoying Kisaragi girl? Do you see how flat she is?"

"Yeah, I know," Satsu, one of Tanisha's peeps spoke. "Her Mom must have had her genetically confused."

How dare they talk about my mother!

The three girls laughed. "She's so full of herself. She tries to take on the boys, but she's just trying to draw attention to herself. Why can't she just sit on the stands like a normal girl should?" A deeper voice said. Zanka.

My lips trembled. I hadn't felt so bad in my entire life. I slunk away back on the streets, my head hanging low. I walked into the nearest place I felt safe.

Finally, closing time! I counted my tips silently, muttering the numbers quietly to myself.

Then the door opened. I didn't bother to look up. Kairi will tell them to go away sooner or later…

"Cloud?" A voice squeaked. I looked up form my money, mentally repeating the number I was on over and over.

Oh.

Just Yuffie.

But her eyes were large and watery. Her nose was covered in snot and her lip trembled.

"Is Tifa here?"

Oh. Probably just some girl hormone. I should probably just leave her…

But maybe I can deal with it.

Probably not.

Well…

Maybe.

"No, she isn't. She left to the bank to get some more change. What's wrong, Yuffie?"

"TanishaandherfriendswereinanelleyandIsnuckuponthemand- Hiccup- andtheyweretalkin'stuffaboutmymomandthatIwasjusttryingtogetattentionandabunchofotherstuff!"

…what…?

Yuffie looked down to her shoes, tears rolling down her face. She shook, and small whining noises came from her. (Girls whine?)

"…"

"You don't care, it's okay," She said quickly. She turned around to leave through the door. I stood up and walked to her quickly. I put a hand upon her should to attempt to comfort her.

"I do, Yuffie. Tanisha hurt you really bad," (Yes, I caught the bitch's name). "But she's dumb, Yuffie. Everything she said wasn't true, I promise. None of us think that."

Yuffie turned to face me, and wrapped her arm around my waist. She buried her head in my chest and cried, whimpering louder then before. My shirt became wet, and I stared at her. I didn't know what to do, I've never been the one to have somebody cry on my shoulder. (Back to the weird strange people thing).

When she had calmed down, She fell asleep against me. I carried her to a nearby booth, and put her head on my lap while I finished counting my tips.

And for once in ten years I felt like I wasn't a freak.

I know Yuffie could see the good things, even if we hardly knew each other.

And she had feelings, I realized. Not just some annoying little kid.

Maybe we can hang out more…
