Preparations for a Lion

Yuffie woke up at 10:00, and quietly, left with Riku and Sora. They figured that it would be a bad idea to bring Gir, only because, Leon would wake up with an empty house.

Yuffie knocked lightly on Aerith's door. "Come in," Yuffie opened the door to find Cid, Aerith, Donald, and Goofy already hard at work. Aerith was in the kitchen making a cake that looked like the lion on Leon's necklace. Donald was blowing up black and silver balloons, Goofy was hanging different types of decorations and Cid was…well…Cid was….no one really knew what Cid was doing. He would come in the house talk to Aerith, leave the house, and come back every few minutes only to leave again.

Aerith came out of the kitchen, she had a long pink apron on. "Sora would you go help Cid. He's at Merlin's house right now. He wont stay there long." Sora nodded and left. "Now Riku, your tall, you help out Goofy." Riku nodded and got to work.

"What do I do captain?" Yuffie asked, saluting Aerith.

"You….uh. You come help me in the kitchen. Cloud isn't here yet and probably wont come until the party." Aerith paused and looked to be in deep thought. "Why did you bring Gir?"

"I didn't"

"They why is he behind you?" Yuffie spun around only to find the little Heartless looking up at her.

"Gir! I told you to stay home with Squally!" Yuffie whined.

Gir squeaked and clawed at her ribbon. "Yuffie I think he wants to help."

"What does clawing at a ribbon have to do with that?" Yuffie asked picking up Gir to cradle her in her arms.

"She wants to help, Yuffie. Just let her." Aerith smiled.

"Oh alright." Yuffie pouted. "Gir, can you blow up balloons?"

Gir's eyes widened and she clapped her, hands (a/n- I don't know what else to call them). Running up to Donald, who was completely out of breath. Gir picked up an empty balloon, (a/n- I don't know what an un-inflated balloon is called) and blew it up. Yuffie laughed when Gir started to bounce it in the air with her head.

"Yuffie! Get in here!" Aerith shouted from the kitchen .

"What!" Yuffie asked

"I'm going out to get his present. Can I trust you to make sure the cake doesn't burn?" Yuffie nodded. "Ok, I'm trusting you. If you ruin it, I'm gonna tell Leon that you were the one that covered his gunblade with pudding." Aerith waved, and walked out the door.

"Stupid blackmailing Aerith." Yuffie muttered.

Leon stumbled into the kitchen after his shower. No one was there. "Where's my coffee?" he muttered, and poured a cup of coffee into his favorite mug. "Coffee, coffee, I love you, coffee, coffee yes I do! I love you much more that school, coffee, coffee, yes I do!" he sang sleepily. It was his coffee song that he made up a few years ago and only sang it when he was alone…with his coffee.

He wandered around the kitchen. "Yuffie didn't even make me breakfast. Darn it, she knows I cant cook. Not even a note." He mumbled and opened the fridge. He pulled out some left over pizza and chocolate syrup. He laughed quietly, yet another thing he does when no one is around. "There's chocolate in my coffee, there's chocolate in my coffee, there's chocolate in my coffee oh boy, oh boy." he sang, again, while he poured a large amount of chocolate into his coffee and stirred it.

Eating his pizza, and downing his coffee, he walked into the living room, and let himself fall onto the couch. He turned on the TV, he felt that there was nothing better to do. He didn't know what he was watching but, he thought it was kind of funny, in a stupid sort of way. It had a green boy, a guy that was half robot, a weird alien thing with purple hair, another girl dressed in a blue robe, and another guy that was dressed in tights but looked as though he had no special talents.

A quick knock, was very welcome since Leon was getting slightly disturbed when the green guy turned into a lion. The lion was green, you'd think that if he could turn into animals he'd be able to change his color too.

Leon jogged over to the door and swung it open. "Hey Leon!" Leon looked at the man for a while before it finally clicked.

"Cloud!" Leon finally said. His coffee was slowing down his thought process. The spiky blond nodded. "What's up? I didn't know you were back!"

"Yea, I got back last night. Do you want to go practice." He asked. Leon smirked. Cloud wasn't the type of person to 'practice' but more like a lets-fight-cause-I'm-fing-bored. Leon nodded, grabbed his gunblade and left.

Aerith came back at around 3 in the afternoon. The house was completely decorated with black and silver everything. The presents that they had bought were wrapped in black and gold.

"Aerith, how is Leon getting here?" Yuffie asked.

"Don't worry about that, I ran into Cloud at the market, and I told him to occupy Leon until 4. that's when he is to bring him here." Aerith said. She was finishing up applying black and silver frosting on the cake.

"Squiiiiiii" Gir cried, when the door opened and Cid and Sora can in with a large package.

"What's that?" Yuffie asked.

"This," Cid said. "Is Leon's present from Cloud. He picked it up while he was world hopping. He though Leon would like it, but he asked me to fix it up and make it more like something Leon would like."

Yuffie nodded. "Oh, ok."

"Sqqqquuuuuaaaaaaalllllllllyy" Gir cried again.

Yuffie and Riku squealed. "He said Leon's real name!"

Sora and Cid stepped away from the two when they started petting and baby talking to the little Shadow.

"Awww shucks guys. It's a Heartless, why do you treat it like a baby?" Goofy asked

"Because! He's adorable!" Yuffie yelled.

"It isn't just a Heartless." Riku sniffed. "He, has a heart. He can love, Goofy! LOVE!" Riku shouted. "That more than I can say about Sora!" Riku ran out the door.

"What the-- Riku wait!" Sora ran after him.

"Will they be back in time for the party?" Donald asked.

Hovering over the cake, Yuffie laughed "Who knows but I get there pieces of cake!"

A/N- Hola! Anyway…only 2 chapter left I think maybe 3 I'm not sure….XD… I know that the party will take up at least half of the next chapter.
