Chapter Two: First Day Freakout

(Yuffie's P.O.V)

I sat in my seat, stomach in knots, praying to the barf gods that I wouldn't throw up. Especially on my favorite green top.

The Gummi Ship lurched and moaned as Cid called out that he was going to make the decent soon. Three un-opened cherry lollipops were tucked in my traveling pack, and I wondered if I'd ever feel like eating them again…

My eyes shifted to the Aerith-occupied seat beside me, and my stomach flipped again. How could she be peacefully napping there, while I had to struggle just to keep my breakfast from somersaulting out of my mouth. Stupid motion sickness. I told Squall I needed to stay on the ground, but he practically laughed in my face, something that isn't a particularly good quality in a 26 year old, in my opinion. Too bad no one asked for my opinion. But I had to admit it felt kinda good talking to Ae the night before, even though I was still angry at her for agreeing we move back to frickin Hallow Bastion. I blame her for my motion sickness.

"We haven't been outta Traverse Town in forever." I told her

"It's going to be hard Yuffie, I know that. But Leon, you, and I have been inseparable. You're not going to stay behind without us, are you? "She stroked my hair, tucking it behind my hair. I hated it when people touch my hair, but I let it slide. "Maybe in a few days, you can start looking at this as an adventure, Yuffie. New place, new situations…

"I don't want anything new!" I snapped. I knew part of being a ninja was taking things as a challenge, but I'm Yuffie.

Aerith sighed and got off my bad. Turning to look at me, she smiled slightly. "You can do this Yuffie."

I wish I could believe her now.

I turned my eyes away form the flower-girl, and stared at Squallie's head in front of me. He had one of those haircuts where the top seemed to be messy, yet straight, neat bangs framed his face. The bottom part was now shaved. Red bumps swelled where the razor had gotton too close to the nape of his neck. Wait…ugh! I was examining someone's scalp at close range. What is wrong with me? I suddenly felt my stomach lurch again. Oh yeah, that's what.

I looked down at my feet, so my stomach would settle, and focused on my high-topped peds. They were comfortable and light, and they looked good. I'd been wearing peds for as long as I can remember. I was wearing a new pair I had gotten last month. They were knee-length and light green, and laced up criss-cross style until you had to tie them to the sides at the top.

I remember the first thing Cid had said when he first saw them. "Man, are those for real?"

I did the right thing. " I can step on them, and you can decide for yourself."

Oh shit. Turbulence. I could feel the descent of the Gummi Ship get steeper and steeper. Eyes widening, I covered my mouth with my hands, to keep from "messing up" Cid's new Gummi. I was more concerned with the after-smell. Closing my eyes, I waited…

When the Gummi Ship had screeched to a stop, I sighed with relief, hardly believing I made it. Then again, I am the Great Ninja Yuffie. Either way, I was glad I made it. I coughed lightly, and sat up straighter. My clean clothes had given me courage. Better hang on to it.

" A'right people, get off!" Cid's impatient voice floated through the air.

I noticed Aerith was awake next to me, and quickly doing her hair, which had gotten un-fastened during her nap. Her auburn hair was now pulled back in two braids, and her bangs neatly framed her face. She was the only 19 year old who could wear her hair like that and not look like a little kid. Aerith stepped down the tiny aisle, walking by me and smiling lightly. I slumped against the window, my forehead cooled by the glass.

Squall had to force me out, later.


Hallow Bastion was GIGNORMOUS. Note to self: Find out where you got that word. The building was really a big castle-like mansion with a courtyard in the middle.

The tour of the outside Aerith had taken me on quickly, did not help me at all. It made me feel even more lost and trapped then I thought was possible. It was like a labyrinth, with paths that seemed to go nowhere. Hallow Bastion had a huge hedge, an ugly row of junipers running the length of the building, where Cid had let us off.

" What do you think so far, Yuffie?" I looked up to see Aerith looking at me expectantly.

"I hate it. Happy now?"

She put on a small frown and looked down at me. "Maybe if you stay out here awhile and get used to it, explore a little, you'll like it better?"

She adjusted her bag's straps over her shoulder, and headed down the long, granite walkway towards the double-door entrance to the mansion.

What? No one ditches Yuffie Kisaragi! Angrily chucking my shuriken at a rock (Yeah yeah, I know I shouldn't do that to it), I wondered why she didn't stay. What happened to being a Good Samaritan?

By the time I was done sulking and stomping on ugly flowers, I was convinced Aerith was the biggest prick in all the worlds. Right now she and Leon are probably in one of the halls somewhere, laughing as they imagine me wandering these stupid hedges alone, a neon LOSER flashing over my head.


I stumbled upon the grand living room (What kind of place has 6 living rooms?), after walking around a bit and staring in awe at all the huge, unnecessary rooms. I froze in the doorway as 7 faces, all on time, turned to stare at me. Aerith was one of them. But she was smiling a Good Samaritan kind of smile. Maybe she's not a prick, okay?

"Sit down Yuffie." Squall ordered annoyed. He was seated at the right of the circle, next to Aerith.

" Make me, Squallie."

"You're still the same." A cute boy in the back said, chuckling. Wait…..Sora! Kairi? Riku? My jaw dropped open, ignoring the fact that I was probably looking like an idiot. Snapping it back up, I l wondered why the three world-saviors were here.

Before I could continue on my inventory, I noticed who was on the other side of Aerith, and I literally felt my eyes bulge out. This could not be happening. Oh crap. My favorite person in world (not), was staring at me, smirking. Friggin. Tifa. Lockhart. Leon's best friend from childhood. I couldn't even feel sorry for her for having such a bad romance-novel name because she is such a bitch. Her hair as perfectly combed, hairspray holding it in place. Blech. I couldn't believe that I was not only stuck in my least favorite place in the world, but now my least favorite person in he world had to come and make things worse. Who the hell told her to come over! Oh yeah, Squallie. Remind me to kill him when Aerith is outta the house.

"Are you gonna just stand there and stare at my face?" She inquired loudly, her high-pitched voice making my poor ears bleed. I hate her.

I scrunched up my nose and crossed my eyes at Tifa.

"You look uglier than usual when you do that thing with your face." She whispered across the room, so naturally all the room's occupants could hear.

I did the mature thing. I stuck my tongue out at her.

"Nice." She said.

Storming out of the room, I ran to the furthest room away from there, on the fourth floor. Stomping into the room, angry at myself for letting that prissy ditz get to me, I decided right then and there that nothing, nothing, was going to get to me on my first day at Hallow Bastion.

And Nothing's name was Tifa Lockhart.


Okay, somewhat short, becuase I split the original, and yes I'm going to make you wait for it, becuase I still nne to fix some stuff, but I got the point across in this chapter, I think. And yay, we meet Tifa. Yeah, she's not really an ass, but in this she is. Oooo, scandalous...

By the way, there won't be any Blog Entry chapters until in the actaul story line, she finds out about blogs. Don't worry, it will happen in the next chapter. Then...blogginess galore every other chapter!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed, and review, it keeps me coming faster.
