A/N: The idea for this story came from my own problem. I have a back disorder called scoliosis and its possible that i might get back surgery to cure it. I dont have it bad, just slightly. But, It could get worse over the years, so surgery is a possibilty. I thought about back injuries and I was in the mood to write a Yuffintine. This idea was quite random, so...Please enjoy.

I had always thought that once Sephiroth was beaten, we would all just seperate. Cid would go off and maybe marry Shera. She did worship the ground he walked on, and...yeah. Cloud and Tifa would just be friends and maybe even live together. Red would go back to Cosmo Canyon, with his little cubs. Vincent would go be himself back in his coffin and I would be the only adventurous one in the group. I guess everyone else wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life. I understand. But life was slowly coming together for me once the world was back into order.

I traveled alot, alone basicly. It didn't matter to me, I had the conformer to protect me. And of course, I had a whole sack full of materia. What did I care, I could eliminate anything that crossed my path.

I loved to go to Costa Del Sol and tan on the beach and go swimming. I visted Rocket Town frequently, Cid and Shera lived there together. They're going to be married in 3 months. I'm the flower girl, even thou it sounds babish now. Cloud is the best man and one of Shera's friends is the bride's maid.

I haven't seen Vincent since we parted. He simply said goodbye to me. I thought we had actually become good friends on our journey to save the world. We talked alot. I dont know why we connected so well. I'm a hyper teenager and hes just an old guy who can't get over his crush. I shouldnt say that, but. Yeah... I thought Vincent would have a bit more to say to me as we said goodbye. He said goodbye. I said goodbye. Simple. I couldn't get over it for a while, I still think about it now. If Vinny is at the Shinra Mansion, I'd never have enough guts to even go inside. Hey, dont get the wrong idea from this. Vinny is just a creepy pale guy and im just not his type.

I was traveling through the Nibelheim area. I don't even know why I come here. The ruins of the city are so distant from daylight, but when the sunsets, its so clear to see the Mansion. I want to go there and see if he is there. Butterflies dont fly, but crawl in my stomach. So, I try to take my mind off of it and just go about my buisness.

One day, I was drawn to the little ruined town. I stepped near the outskirts of the ghost town, my spine tingling. So many innocent people had died here. Because of that monster Sephiroth. I even felt good for knowing that I helped destroy the monster, that was he. My shurkion tight and cold in my hands, I slowly walked through the ashen streets. The frames of some of the buildings could be seen, but others were burned straight to the ground in a ashy black heap. I felt extremely nervous for some reason, my stomach just crawling with anticipation.

'Of what' I ask myself, 'That your going to see Vincent again? Pah-lease, you don't even like him, so whats the big deal?'

I ignored the ever so stupid voice in my head and continued walking, almost in a trance, to the mansion. It loomed ahead of it. The building was covered in vines, I was suprised that anything could even grow here. I stepped past the stone gates and I stopped dead in my tracks. I was actually afraid of comming here. Even thou it was a hot, beautiful summer day, the house was like the dead of winter. A cold, stale breeze came from the house and the windows were pitch black with dust, which gave it a more creepy, gothic feel. 'Dont be a wimp!'

I pushed myself to move closer and I become so aware of how alone I was. The crunch of the dirt and ash under my feet was so loud, i was suprised something didnt collapse because it was so loud, like an avalanche. I was up to the door now, ready to run and never even think about comming back. But I remembered when Vincent told me about Lucrecia. His bloody red eyes had a golden glow of love to them. But also, a black look of despair and anger. Horrible sadness. I could tell that he loved her to death and it was a devastating tradgedy that she had died. I wanted to hold Vincent and just talk to him soothlingly. But at that time, I thought he would just push me away.

'God, this is very unlike you. Where is the goofy, hyper you that everyone loves?...well, not really loves...But is used to?'

Its gone. Well, at least when im here, the sense of joy just sucks out of me as i step into the dead town. I shake my head, my chocolate brown hair flopping in my eyes. I brush the stray hair out of my face, cursing myself for trying to waste time. I dare myself to touch the doorknob. its so rusted, that its pitch black. I place my pale hand on it and open the door, a cloud of dust comming down from the door, the hinges creaking wildly. I wanted to run so bad, but my curiosity willed me to move forword and see if Vinny was here.

Goosebumps rose on my arms as i started to walk to the heart of the mansion. Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust and everything seemed gray with despair. I wondered what the mansion would look like with a major clean up. maybe the same old scary mansion, just clean. She shook her head and headed up the creaky, stairs, almost flinching everytime the old stairs creaked. The sound would bounce around the walls and almost deafen her. She headed right, comming into a long hallway. She was frieghtened. She looked up and seen a hoard of bats hanging on the ceiling.

'God, you must be the biggest idiot to come in here. Someone, please slap me or something!...Gawd, too bad no one lives in this dump besides Vincent.'

Once I passed through the hall, it was down the circular stairs in the tower. My stomach churned. I put my foot on one of the steps and looked down. My eyes widened, almost like they were going to pop out of my skull.

A beautiful woman stood down below, near the door leading into Vincent's Coffin room. She was inveloped in a silver light, mist surrounded her feet. She had beautiful, bright eyes and looked no older than 20. she had long chocolate-carmel colored hair that was tied up in a golden ribbon. she wore beautiful robes of white.

Why...did she look so familiar?

The ghostly form was moving...towards her.

My body felt numb with fear, my conformer falling to the ground below. The ghost was right in front of her.

The woman's eyes were pure white.

I screamed, completely scared, and lost my footing.

Falling...wasn't so bad. As I fell, almost in slow motion, the woman watched me fall.

Everything turns black and I fall into a deep sleep. I feel warm and almost...Happy. So I guess everything must be okay.
