Chapter Eleven: One Black Crayon

One day Tifa and Zack were playing a lively game of solitaire. Well, sort of.

Zack squirmed. "Tifa, when's it going to be my turn?"

Tifa threw her empty root beer glass at him. "Solitaire is a one-person game, dummy!"

Zack examined the glass. Finding it completely empty, he tossed it aside. "So, Yuffie lied to me then!"

"Duh."

Zack looked at the cards. "Can we play go fish?"

Cloud sat on the couch, watching soap operas. He had a day off because there had been a chickenpox outbreak at work. At the moment, Aeris was sitting in her bed watching Fruits Basket with calamine lotion smeared all over her.

Vincent walked into the living room, wearing an extremely large, pink, and fluffy hat.

Cloud stared at him for a minute. Then he remembered that it was Vincent.

Vincent sat down on the couch.

"Hey Vincent, where's Sephiroth? I thought you two were coloring get well cards for Aeris."

Vincent sighed. "We were, but then we ran out of black. Seph's at the store getting some more crayons."

Cloud raised an eyebrow. "Can't you color without black?"

Vincent gasped. "How dare you! This is black we're talking about here! Black is the color of cool things including picture outlines, tar, and MY HAIR! My pretty, silky, conditioned-twice-a-day hair!" Vincent waved his hair in Cloud's face. "You feel it?"

Cloud inched back towards the end of the couch. "Ah, yeah, I believe you."

Aeris reached for the remote that was laying on her nightstand. For some weird, inane reason, her DVD player had turned itself off right in the middle of her favorite episode! (Episode four, for those of you that are interested.) She grabbed the remote, but her hand was slick with lotion, and thus the remote seemingly jumped out of her hand and flew half-way across the room.

Aeris sighed in exasperation, and got out of bed. However, she tripped on her pink bunny slippers and fell on her face.

Aeris pushed herself up and hit her head on the nightstand drawer, which knocked the lamp over, which fell on her dresser and cracked.

Then just as Aeris was untangling her hair from the drawer knob, her DVD player went nuts and shot the Fruits Basket DVD out at high speed right towards the wall.

Thwack.

Thwack.

Reno started crying. Yuffie had been hitting him on the head with various objects for who knows how long, and he was developing several bruises. He was just about to give up fighting and shout out 'Yuffie, you're the greatest person in the world and I will buy you all of the unedited Gundam Seed Destiny DVDs when they come out,' when a DVD sawed right through the wall and shaved the top of Yuffie's head.

"..I mean, what's the point of soap operas anyways? It's either people tricking each other, killing each other, or schloping all over each other! Disgraceful! They should make these actors do community service!"

Cloud was on the verge of strangling Vincent. He had been complaining about soap operas for the last 47 minutes and 27 seconds--28 seconds--29 seconds…

Where the heck was Sephiroth when you needed him?

---

"Look, I'm sorry, but we just cannot sell you only black crayons!"

Sephiroth glared at the salesclerk. "Listen to me you doofus. A pack of crayons only comes with one black crayon. How is one enough to color stuff like the outlines of pictures, tar, and people's hair?"

The clerk drummed his fingers on the Help Desk. "Well, you do have a point…"

The next day two people were seen protesting outside the local Crayola factory.

Cloud had a pillow-case and was about to stuff Vincent in it and throw him out the window when Yuffie came pounding down the stairs.

Cloud dropped the case in shock. "Yuffie..your hair..what?"

She slapped him, then stalked over to Vincent.

Vincent was just about to get into how lame it was for a soap-opera character to have amnesia when a very angry Yuffie appeared in his face.

"I have searched all over this house.." she gritted her teeth, "and I cannot find a single baseball cap, headband, bonnet or even a small blanket! SO GIVE ME THE HAT YOU PONCE!"

Vincent fearfully handed it over.

Aeris figured her fever had run too high.

And Zack lost at Go Fish 27 times.

Take pity on me and review, even though I was bad. Pweeze?
