Disclaimer: What do you think
Wow I got reviews ! You guys must be the BEST people in the world! You make me so happy!
I hope I didn't loose you because I'm updating two days later than I was expecting. My internet was down and I lost this chapter (but I found it!)
The Jack of Spades: Thank you! I don't think I have any numbers to spell out in this chapter but if I do I'll write the out and about the new person speaking thing. I'm not sure I got it write but I tried! As for why they switched, I'm sure I'll get to that in the next chapter.
BloodyDice: I'm glad you think so =]
Neko-Yuff16: I was thinking about making this a Tifa/Vin (Ticent, whatever) but I dunno, we'll see and I'm glad you think my sad attempts at humor are okay! It's nice to know some people appreciate it =]
I'm going to be calling Tifa in Vincent's body Tifa and Vincent in Tifa's body Vincent. I just think it's less confusing that way.
Yuffie had gotten dressed surprisingly fast and was out the door and half way down the when she suddenly yelled, "Hey Tifa I'll race you!" Not bothering to pick up his pace, Vincent calmly walked down the stairs and listened to the voices from the hotel's eating area. When he got there the first thing he saw was Tifa, or at least Tifa in his body, getting everyone's breakfast for them before they came down to eat. It was a very odd sight and Yuffie obviously thought the same thing.
"Woah. Vin? When did you get so nice?"
Tifa turned and gave her a slightly irritated look, "Just because I'm in Vincent's clothes doesn't mean you can call me Vincent." She blinked, when had her voice gotten so deep? Yuffie was about to respond when the rest of Avalanche chose that unfortunate moment to walk in.
Tifa smiled and greeted them happily, "Good morning!" Vincent felt like slapping himself as the others stared at Tifa in awe. Cloud was the first react.
"Uh... Vincent, are you... feeling okay?"
Tifa glared at him, looking a lot scarier than she intended because of the fact that she was in Vincent's body, "What is wrong with you today?! So what if I'm in Vincent's clothes! I'm still Tifa!"
Now the others were really freaked out. Vincent groaned inwardly, Alright Vincent. If you're ever going to act out of character you'd best do it now.... He put on the most Tifa-ish face he could manage and laughed.
"You should've seen the looks on your faces! Vincent agreed to help me with this joke about us switching bodies, " he hoped Tifa got the hint, "but you guys apparently can't handle it."
Everyone stared at him for a moment before Cid grinned and started laughing, "Shit! And I lived to see it too! Damn, I'm not sure how you got Vin to do it but it was pretty damn convincing." Everyone else started laughing too.
"Hey Vincent! Have you ever considered acting!"
"I was really starting to believe you!"
"Didn't think you had it in you Vince!"
Vincent glanced at Tifa when the others began to settle down and sighed. Tifa was staring at him like a dumbass, Well, I don't blame her. It's not everyday you see yourself standing in front of your face. I'd probably stare too. Vincent rushed up to Tifa and dragged her outside. After making sure no one had followed them, Vincent turned to her.
"Have you looked at a mirror lately?"
"Why do you look like me?"
"You haven't answered my question."
"You haven't answered mine."
"I asked first."
"My question is more important."
Vincent resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Look. I'm Vincent and you're Tifa in my body," he was somehow able to make Tifa's usually cheerful voice flat and emotionless. Tifa examined at herself for a moment. She felt taller, her hair was shorter and darker, her bangs were absolutely crazy, and her chest was flat. No wonder I felt so light... She looked at her left arm Okay, if I really am Vincent then I'll have a claw right? , and saw a a very pale but otherwise normal arm.
"Okay... let's say you are Vincent. If I'm really in your body then what happened to your claw?"
Vincent suddenly noticed too, "Oh, it's a gauntlet."
"What? So it's not your arm?"
"No."
"Then why don't you ever take it off?"
"You never know when you're going to be attacked. If I don't have my gun with me if that happens then I can always use my claw a a last resort."
"Oh... that reminds me, what are we going to do about fighting. Do you know martial arts?"
"Yes. My mother was Wutian and knowing a form of martial arts was required for the Turks."
"Then I'm the only one in trouble"
"...You don't know how to use a gun," it was more of a statement than a question.
"Well, I've seen movies. You aim and pull the trigger, how hard can it be?"
---------------------
"Okay! Red has the sudden urge to go to Cosmo Canyon and we don't really have anything better to do at the moment so that's where were going next!" Cloud told the other members, "Okay, we're going to spilt up and go there on foot."
"What?! Why can't we just fly there?"
"Yuffie, we're only in Nibelheim. It's not like we're walking to Midgar. Besides, I think we could use the exercise," many grumbled in response. "ANYWAYS, choose your groups and go when your ready. Tifa, Vincent, come with me!"
Vincent and Tifa walked over to him, both very relieved. "Hey, Vincent I think we should switch some of our materia, I think you would do a better job with Hades then I would." Tifa, who was trying to figure out how to use her gun, took a couple of seconds to realize he was talking to her.
"Huh? Oh, uh... yeah, Okay." They switched materia and started walking. They didn't get very far before they were attacked. Nibel wolves? I thought they only lived near the mountains..., Tifa fumbled for her gun before shooting at one. Nothing happened, Did I forget to load it? I don't think so... I didn't check but Vincent usually keeps his guns fully loaded right?
Just then Vincent came up next to her, "You might want to check the safety first..."
"Oh, right...," Feeling stupid, she checked the safety and sure enough the it was still on. Oops, she switched it off, aimed again, and pulled the trigger.
Only to have it bounce off Cloud's shoulder guard and narrowly miss his head.
"Woah! Vincent! Watch where your aiming that thing!"
Oh Crap! I almost killed Cloud!
'You're not very good at this are you?'
Tifa looked around Cloud and Vincent were fighting off the wolves and no one else was around that she could see...
'Yeah, obviously not.'
"Who's there?"
'I wouldn't talk out loud if I were you. I'm in your head. So, what happened to Vincent?'
What?! In my head? What are you talking about?
'Yeah, you see I'm Chaos. I'm part of Vincent.'
Then Tifa realized something, Hey, you're the presence I felt earlier!
'Yes. Very good! One point for the new kid.'
'What new kid? Where did Vincent go?'
Yeah, who are you?
What are you doing here?!
Wait, hold up. Who are you?
'Death Gigas'
Hellmasker
Galian Beast
'Already introduced myself so I'm not doing it again'
....So you talk to Vincent?
'Yes'
Now I know why he's always so quiet.
What happened to Vincent?
Well, we kinda switched bodies and-
"Hey Vincent are you alright?"
Tifa looked up and saw Cloud.
Just nod, Tifa nodded. Cloud just stared at her for a while.
"Okay. If you say so."
'Don't worry new kid. We'll tell you how to act like Vin.
Yeah, we've got you covered new kid.
My name is Tifa.
'Yeah, sure. Whatever you say new kid.'
I don't think this chapter was any better than the first but it's longer =] I hope you liked it. Please review.
