Holy shit! It's almost been a month! I'm SO SORRY! Apparently my schedule got A LOT busier than I thought it would O.O
Welcome to CloudRox1 and Cendrillo! I'm glad you like my fic enough to review it! Especially you CloudRox1 I REALLY wasn't expecting a review from a Cloud fan. And definitely not for that last chap XD
I was surprised you guys didn't mind the Cloud-being-attacked-by-Nightmare thing... I thought some of you would get mad. Then again that might just be my low self-esteem beating me up XD
Thank you everyone! DragonGirl323, Keiei, Fantasy-dreamz, CloudRox1, Emri, Neko-Yuff16, Tifa Valentine, Mel, Necromancer Aiko666, and Cendrillo! I love you all!
And Mel I hail your imagination! You think of some of the most wonderful, crazy things ever XD Nightmare: Bane of all Boots indeed! Gotta love that title!
Keiei I would LOVE to hear your idea (if you can still remember it.... I haven't updated in so long...) Ideas are always welcome!
Emri If you draw a pic and scan it I would love to see it! Yes! Send it to Imoto XD
And thank you everyone who review Frozen! Dragon Girl323, The Highwaywoman, cobalt dragonfly, Real-fan05, Tifa246, Jess Angel (It's always an honor to be reviewed by someone who's been on longer than I have XD), Emri (You've reviewed all my fanfics so far! Wow!), catsiy15, Ann2 (Another person whose been on longer than me! And you put me on your watch list! Thank you!), and Raven Cactuar. I was surprised I got so many reviews! And it will stay a one-shot... I just can't think of anything else to write that I might not put in another Tifa/Vincent fic.
"Sooo... where to?"
"...A restaurant?"
"Then a restaurant it is!"
They walked down the street quietly, both earning quite a few stares. Vincent believed they were staring at Tifa because of the glowing red eyes and the all around vampire look. Of course Tifa knew it was for an entirely different reason, she was used to it. They eventually came to a large, fancy building.
"This one okay?"
Vincent shrugged looking down at Nightmare, "Sure. As long as they allow dogs."
They went inside and a waiter waved and pointed to the empty table next to him. When they got there, Vincent, being the gentleman he was, started to pull out a chair for Tifa, Wait, the male is supposed to do this... I'm not male anymore... He sat down in confusion and picked up a menu.
"What are you getting?"
Vincent frowned, ".....Do they have chow mien?"
"Next page."
"Chicken chow mien then."
"I should've expected that. You Wutian people are all the same... I'm going to have something exciting... like ribs! Ribs are good."
"Hi! Can I help you?"
Tifa and Vincent both looked up to see a perky blonde (No offense to anyone whose blonde of course XD just a little bit of stereotyping... just can't avoid it) waitress eyeing Tifa... er in Vincent's body.
"Um...yeah," Tifa was starting to look a little worried. The way the waitress was staring at her was getting a little scary...
"Okay! What will you having?"
"Chicken chow mien and half a rack of ribs."
"Drinks?"
"Water. Tifa? How about you?"
"Jasmine tea."
The waitress suddenly noticed Vincent but decided to ignore him. "Oh! And I'm Veronica (Once again no offense to anyone named Veronica or has a friend named Veronica. It's just that the Veronica I know is a bitch...) and I'll be your waiter for the evening."
They all waited in silence for a few seconds.
"...Yeah. I'm...Vincent and this is...Tifa."
Veronica grinned, "Very nice to meet you Vincent!"
They waited a bit more.
Tifa got annoyed, "Shouldn't you go...tell the chef our orders or something?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?"
Tifa stared, I'm not exactly looking for a girlfriend at the moment...
Chaos chuckled, 'Should've brought the claw. That usually scares 'em away.'
I didn't think I'd need it!
''You never know when you're going to be attacked' just like Vincent said.'
I didn't think these kind of attacks counted...
Vincent was amused. Very amused. Revenge for leaving me with Cloud back at Cosmo Canyon, Tifa.
Tifa glanced at Vincent, "Uuuuh....yes! Yes I do have a girlfriend," She waved her hand at Vincent, "V-Tifa! We're out on a date."
'Admitting it huh?'
I'm just making this up!
'Hm... your not that far off. It's just that, you know, Vincent's not a girl.'
Vincent was no longer amused. He seemed to have jinxed his revenge... Veronica wasn't amused either, that was obvious.
Hopeful she's not one of those psycho, stalker, overly-desperate people, Vincent thought, If she is, we're in trouble.
"I'll go get your food...," Veronica walked away quickly, to the great relief of Vincent and Tifa.
".....That went.....well."
" I wouldn't say that just yet..."
"What do you mean?"
Vincent stared at her blankly.
"Fine! Be that way!"
They waited patiently or their food. VERY patiently, considering the food actually got to them about forty minutes after Veronica had left. And when it did get there Veronica made a big show of "accidently" spilling water on Tifa and fluttering her eyelashes flirtatiously as she wiped it off.When she finally walked away Tifa groaned in frustration.
"Is this what it's like to be you?"
Vincent, who was contently eating his chow mien, nodded, "When I forget to wear my 'equipment,' as I like to call it, yes."
"How about when you were a Turk?"
"Yes."
"Damn. Sucks to be you."
"Not when you know how to fight it. Besides, It happens to you too."
"Well I'm used to that! It's not everyday a girl starts flirting with me."
"It's not everyday a guy starts flirting with me. Right now, my life is harder than yours. You don't get bothered by Cloud. So stop complaining and live with it."
"Woah! Bossy..."
"Only when I have to be. And I wasn't being bossy. I was using common sense."
"Tifa poked her food, "Sorry... I must be getting on your nerves."
"...It's alright. It's not your fault...," Now Vincent felt guilty too, "You just don't know what to do. You are in this mess and don't know how to get out. You have Cloud to think about too. You believe you love him but have to love me if you want to us switch back. It's not your fault... it's mine."
Tifa rolled her eyes, Again with the self-loathing! "It's not your fault either, Vincent. There's all that stuff about Lucrecia to worry about! Hell, you even have a son! And he's trying to destroy the planet! You've got more to deal with and you're handling it better than I am... I should be ashamed."
Vincent leaned across the table and took Tifa's hand in his, "I've had more experience. You're still young, there's nothing to be ashamed of."
Tifa smiled, "Thanks Vincent. I think I'm beginning to understand. I'm sure we'll get through this, just like Red said we would."
Vincent honored her with a small smile and continued eating while she offered Nightmare some of her ribs.
Yes. I think I'm really starting to understand you Vincent Valentine. I really do.
'Sorta like a puzzle?'
Yeah... sort of like a puzzle.
'And do you like the picture the puzzle makes?'
....I'm not really sure what that picture is yet Chaos... but I know it will be a nice picture.
'A pretty picture!'
...Sure....that's....one way to put it......A...pretty picture. Vincent is a pretty picture...
I sorry it was so boring after such a long wait. You probably hate me now. I've decided to split their date/outing up into sections. It's just to long to put into one chap. And Veronica will be back. Just to warn you beforehand.
I'll try to update tomorrow if I don't have to much to do. I'll try my best!
Please review ) Reviews are nice
