A/N: Sorry about long wait before the next chapter… I've been pretty busy filming a movie with some friends but I'm finally getting this chapter up! Also, I've had some writer's block lately so this chapter fills kind of like a filler, I'll try to make the next one better (yes I know, promises promises!) But be kind and please review guys ;)
"Aeris, aren't you hungry?" Cloud's voice awoke Yuffie and she groaned before stuffing her face into her pillow.
"Mphm…" She muttered as Cloud reached over and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Are you feeling alright Aeris? You've been out for hours so,why don't you come get something to eat."
"Bleah." Yuffie answered not bothering to move.
Cloud gave a sigh before stepping back. "I don't know what's wrong with you but I suggest that you get up now." His usual monotone seemed to hold a hint of annoyance which caused Yuffie to give a small smile into the pillow.
"Ough, boffhy afin't wve?" Yuffie answered. Otherwise known as, bossy aren't we. Yuffie smirked to herself. She enjoyed annoying him.
Suddenly an arm went around Yuffie waist and she squealed as Cloud turned her around and she found herself staring up into his bright blue eyes. "I thought that I told you to get up."
Yuffie let out a slight giggle. No one had ever treated her in such a way before. She liked it. "Maybe I don't want to." She answered.
Cloud looked surprised and his hold on her loosened.
"What's wrong?" Yuffie asked with a hint of worry in her voice.
"You've never acted like this towards me before." Cloud said softly. "You usually just pull away, something's different about you."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Yuffie answered as she looked towards the floor. "But why should I pull away, are you secretly evil?'
"Yes, very." Cloud answered and then went to kiss her neck.
Yuffie was torn between pulling away, or allowing Cloud to continuewhen the door opened and Aeris peeked her head in. "Aeris why are you-" Her voice trailed off when she saw them and she didn't seem to know what to think.
Cloud didn't seem to care as he stared at her. "What is it Yuffie?" He asked sounding bored.
"I... I wanted to ask Aeris something." Aeris answered and stared at Yuffie with anger beginning to come unto her face.
"Maybe Aeris is busy." Yuffie answered enjoying the horrified look that was coming unto Aeris' face. She sighed and pulled away from Cloud and raised her arms and yawned as she walked out. "Ahh, I didn't realize what time is was."
"What do you think you're doing?" Aeris hissed as she grabbed Yuffie's arm and pulled her towards her.
Poor Aeris... it must be that time of the month! Yuffie thought with a smirk. And I don't even have to go through it! She gets to go through it as me! Mwah ha ha ha ha...
"You're not even listening to me are you?" Aeris asked with a fake smile. "You listen, I don't want you doing anything with Cloud while you're in my body!"
"But Aeris,you don't want him to suspect something do you?" Yuffie answered with a fake sweetness in her voice which caused Aeris to turn red.
"We're not even a couple, I don't know why he did that! And futhermore, I wouldn't let him get that close to me anyway."
"What are you an old lady?" Yuffie snapped back. "A guy likes you and you respond by being cold?
"It's not like you're the guy expert!" Aeris answered. "Who do you think you are?"
"I may not know what I am but I know what you are. You're jealous." Yuffie said to Aeris as she saw her face. "You're afraid that Cloud is going to figure out what happened and when he realizes thatyou're just aboring old ladyhe'll want to be with me!" She folded her arms and smiled.
Aeris just chuckled. "Oh yes, when we switch back I'm sure that he's going to run into your arms. You're nothing but a child to him Yuffie... you're a child to all of us." Aeris bit her lip as the words came out. Yes, she was mad at Yuffie but still, she usually kept her angry words to herself.
Yuffie felt anger but she pushed it back and just shrugged. "Oh I'm sorry, I wish that I could be boring like you."
"Look, how would you like it if I went after Leon?" Aeris asked with a smirk.
Yuffie froze and then smiled. "Now that I think about it you guys would make a good couple... boring and boringer!"
"I know that you've had a childish crush on him Yuffie, you don't need to pretend that you don't care.
Aeris tossed her hair and then walked off leaving Yuffie with a strange look on her face.
"Look, why are you wasting time arguing with Yuffie?" Cloud asked from behind Yuffie. "She's just been acting weird lately."
"Like I am?" Yuffie answered.
"What do you mean?" Cloud asked. "Yeah, kind of like you."
"Yeah... well, forget it it's really nothing." Yuffie answered softly. With that she shook her head and when running out of one of the doors.
As Yuffie exited the building she ran down towards the underground waterway where Leon usually was. "Since I'm Aeris he probably won't tell me to get lost." She muttered to herself as she entered the darkness, glad that she wasn't wearing a pink dress. Yuffie smiled as she saw Leon in his usual place swinging his gunblade at nothing. She smirked and then crept along the walls hoping to scare him, but Aeris' body wasn't nearly as stealthy as her so Leon heard her and turned around.
"Aeris, what are you doing?" He asked quietly.
Yuffie hesitated. For some reason, sneaking up on him didn't seem like something that Aeris would do. "I was just coming to see how you were doing and... did you eat yet?"
Leon nodded and Yuffie smiled nerviously. She never normally got nervous around Leon but for some reason she did at the moment. "Good... yep... it's nice." She sighed not knowing what to say.
"Why are you here?" Leon asked. "Don't you have anything better to do?"
"No." Yuffie sat down on a rock and watched Leon swing his sword for a minute. Not long ago she had thought that he was extremely sexy. Now she wasn't so sure. Slowly she was realizing that hoping that he would fall in love with her was a silly and non-realistic dream.
"You must think I'm so stupid." Leon said quietly as he turned around to face her. "It just so happens that I'm not oblivious to what's around me like the spiky haired blonde-boy seems to be." With that he smirked at her. "It's nice to talk to you though... Yuffie."
Yuffie's eyes widened. "H-h-how do y-"
"I overheard you and Aeris talking earlier today. Why are you keeping this a secret?"
"Because we thought that you guys would think that we were insane." Yuffie answered as she bent her head. "And I'm tired. I'm tired of everyone treating me the way that they do and I've wanted Aeris to experience what it's like being me. You guys treat me horribly, I'm not a child anymore." Yuffie felt her voice cracking and she bent her head. "But I didn't tell Aeris that, if I did she probably wouldn't have agreed to not tell anyone."
"Is there another reason?" Leon asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"What other reason would there be?" Yuffie snapped back as she felt her face turning red.
"Oh... just you wanting to spend time with a certain person." Now there was a hint of a smile on Leon's face.
Yuffie stared at him for a moment. "Look, don't tell Aeris or Cloud that you know what happened. Aeris has been a complete you-know-what to me... she doesn't need to get off so easy. So, why don't you do what you do best! Keep your mouth shut." Yuffie crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows at him waiting for what he had to say.
He didn't answer right away. Then he slowly nodded and sat down next to her on the rock that she had been sitting on. "You changed the subject. But fine."
Yuffie smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist for a quick hug. "Thanks Squall." She whispered.
"It's Leon." He answered but there wasn't the usual anger in his voice when he corrected her.
"Don't forget, you get to spend more time with Aeris this way." Yuffie smirked.
Leon's face turned slightly red and he looked down. "Can you do a favor for me?" He asked Yuffie so softly that she could barely hear him.
"Sure, what is it?" Yuffie asked.
"Aeris likes Cloud... it's how it's always been and I've never taken risks." Leon looked up at Yuffie and then took her hand in his. "So, don't tell Aeris ok? You're not her, but this is the only chance that I may ever have to do this."
Yuffie looked down at his hand confused and then he leaned over and gently kissed her. Yuffie didn't know how to respond for a moment. No one had ever kissed her so it was just her luck that she would get it in someone else's body. Finally she kissed him back but as they both heard a gasp they pulled apart.
Aeris was standing at the end of the tunnel with a completely confused expression as she looked at them. After a moment of extreme uncomfortable silence she turned around and stomped out. Yuffie turned to Leon and said softly, "Look I don't know how this is going to work out, but I'll forget that anything happened!" With that she lept up and ran after Aeris.
