Yuffie bit her lip. "Teeeeef?" she called out. "Yeeeeeah?" Yuffie looked around to see if it was there, for the fourth time. "Have you seen my chococbo pillow?" she asked, straightening her tank top up. She was sporting a pair of green slippers, green mini shorts, and a yellow tank top with a picture of a cat on it. "What? That thing's old! Why do you want that?" Tifa asked as she came walking by, while brushing her hair.

"What's wrong with your green pillow?" Tifa asked, pointing at Yuffie's pillow which was laying neatly on her bed. The girls were getting ready for a real sleepover at the guys place again, seeming as the last was... well... you know...

Yuffie's face flushed. "Um.. well... V-Vi..." she stuttered. Tifa's eyes turned large, and she gave a big grin. "Ooohhh... Vincent? Chocobo? Well, I'm not so sure about that..." Tifa murmured, while she began to look through Yuffie's closet. "Hmm... if you're so positive, try looking in Aeris' bedroom. She keeps the stuff you give away in her closet, so try there." Yuffie gave a smile and nodded energetically before running off. "Thanks, Teef!"

Tifa nodded while sitting down on Yuffie's bed, going back to brushing her hair.

'CHOCOBO? ...She wants to impress Vincent with a chocobo pillow?'

Tifa slightly giggled, but was startled when her mobile began ringing. Frowning, she took it out of her pocket and put it up to her ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey sexy lady,"

Tifa's face turned red.

"W-What? Who is this?"

"Gee, you can't even recognize an old friend's voice... Tsk, tsk, Teef, really, now..."

"Cloud? Vincent? RENO?"

"Hmm, guess you can."

"What do you want?" she asked rudely, standing up and walking over to the mirror.

"Me and the guys were just wondering if you, that Hootie chick, and that Pink girl wanna come with us for take-out before the uhh, sleepover." His voice sounded a bit uncertain.

Tifa smiled slightly. "Sure, I'll just go tell the others."

"'Kay. Meet us outside your house at six. See you,"

Tifa nodded to herself. "Bye, Reno."

"Bye, Teef."

"He sounded a bit... unusual." Tifa said to herself while putting her phone back in her pocket. She checked her reflection once more, and turned around a bit. This made Tifa remember that they were going for take-out before the sleepover, so Yuffie and Aeris would have to get dressed properly. She walked out of the room and headed down the hallway, towards Aeris' bedroom. She heard noises coming from inside.

"Yuffie... are you sure that Vincent will go for... the cutesy-wutesy type of image? I mean... he's sort of... y'know..."

"Come on Aeris! He's not that bad! It's like Teef says 'Give everyone a chance', right?"

"Well... I guess so..."

Tifa chose the time to knock on the door.

KNOCK, KNOCK!

"Yeeeeeah?" Yuffie's voice rang out.

Tifa slowly opened the door, and found Aeris sitting on the floor, while Yuffie was squeezing an old chocobo pillow. "Hey guys, Reno just called to tell you that-" Tifa was interrupted by the ring of her phone, once more. Tifa sighed in frustration and rolled her eyes while answering the mobile.

"Hello?" she asked, slightly irritated.

"Someone's in a wonderful mood." Reno commented sarcastically.

"Reno? What the hell?"

"Heh, well, we're actually just going to order some Chinese take-out over the phone, so just come on over whenever you want."

"Alright, then. See you. Oh, and how did you get my number?" she asked. Aeris and Yuffie looked at her questionly.

"Did you ever think I'd delete it ever since?" he asked.

"Um... okay, I'll just see you. Bye," she answered quickly.

"Bye."

Tifa placed her phone back in her pocket and looked at the group. "Yeah... he really just wanted to know if you wanted to go for take-out, so now we're having Chinese at their place. He said we can go whenever we want, so... yeah." Tifa looked at the two, who nodded. They each grabbed their bags and began walking out in the front yard.

"Hey Teef?" Aeris asked.

"Hmm?" They walked right across the street, which was oddly, where the three men lived.

"Is there something you're not telling us?" Yuffie asked. Tifa avoided their eyes and began humming a fake, happy tune. "Such as... ?"

"Reno and you." Aeris replied curtly.

Tifa gave a frown. "Now, why would you think that?" she asked dumbly, avoiding their main question. Yuffie paused in her way as they stepped onto the yard. "Don't play dumb with us, Tifa." Tifa looked for a way to get out, though found that they had both trapped her.

Huffing in frustration, she put her hands on her hips. "Fine. You found me out. Now can we just go in?" Tifa hurriedly dodged under them and walked up to the door. She knocked on it and heard her two best friends groan in annoyance.

"Tifa..."

The door opened up, revealing Vincent in a shirt and boxers. Yuffie kept trying to peek from behind Aeris and Tifa, and grinned at Vincent. "Heya, Vinny!" she greeted him happily, bouncing up and down on her toes. Vincent's expression didn't change, though he just gave a tiny nod. The three walked in, and looked around the apartment.

"T! You cameeeee!" a voice called out. Reno came running in, with his arms open, jokingly for a hug. Tifa quickly dodged him, which sadly, made him run into the wall. Tifa noticed he was only wearing a pair of blue boxers and blushed deeply.

Suddenly, Cloud came walking in, heading towards Aeris jokingly, but for some reason, everyone stared at him.

"EIIIKKKKK!" Aeris screamed, running behind the couch. There Cloud was... in the nude.

"EWWW! YUCK! YUCK! YUCK! YUCK! YUCK! YUCK!" Yuffie also jumped behind the couch, to get away from Cloud. Reno finally got up and noticed Cloud running madly towards Tifa.

Now to be the hero that saves the damsel in distress from... a mad naked guy!

...o.o...

Reno pushed Tifa out of the way which disturbingly, made Cloud collapse on Reno. Vincent was viewing the scene with... great disturbance, seeming as this scene was so disturbing, and there couldn't be anything more disturbing than this. In short; the author really shouldn't use the word 'disturbing' to much.

Reno shoved Cloud off quickly and went running towards the bathroom in hope that he'll be able to have a nice, long, hot shower in time for the sleepover.

Everyone blinked at what just happened.

Cloud quickly got up and began running towards the bedroom to change.

Tifa stood up and brushed herself off.

"Did Reno just save me?"


So soon, everyone was back out in the lounge, and everything was going fine. Yuffie bounced onto the loveseat, while Aeris sat down on a couch, which left Tifa to sit down on a big blue beanbag nearby. Aeris warmly welcomed Cloud back in, and let him sit down next to her, even though after what... happened. Cloud looked between Reno and Vincent, who were still standing. He rolled his eyes. "Vincent just go sit on the loveseat, and Tifa?" She looked up at him, trying not to sink in the large beanbag. "You don't mind if Reno sits next to you, right?" Before Tifa could say anything, Cloud had stood up and dragged Reno next to Tifa on the beanbag. They were ridiculously close, since the beanbag kept sinking the two.

"So..." Reno began, yawning in a fake way and stretching his arms out. He placed an arm around Tifa's shoulder, and grinned stupidly. Tifa glared at Reno, which caused him to quickly put his arm back. Everyone watched the pair oddly.

"AHEM!" Everyone stared at Cloud oddly. "Anyway, how about a REAL game of truth of dare? ;D" Yuffie pouted at Cloud. "Wasn't my game yesterday-" Vincent cut her off. "I think he means that we should spend more time on this game tonight, other than just covering Reno in make up." Yuffie blushed and crossed her arms over her chest, sinking down. Everyone just agreed and started the game.

"OOH! OOH! I'll go first!" Cloud volunteered. He turned to Vincent. "Vincent... Truth or dare?" he asked, grinning evilly. Him and Aeris enjoyed playing matchmaker, and they both agreed on it. Vincent looked at Cloud. "...Da- Truth..." He still couldn't believe he was playing this childish game. Cloud grinned even more. "Who would you rather date out of... Me, Reno or Yuffie?" Cloud looked at Aeris as they both laughed evilly.

Vincent's eyes widened.

"You gotta choose one, 'Vinny'!" Reno said in a fake tone, while grinning as well. Yuffie herself, looked like a tomato.

Vincent began looking desperate, but sighed in defeat. "...Yuffie..." But like he had a choice in the first place... well, actually he did, but he wouldn't wanna date a guy!

Yuffie's face turned a bit of a normal color, and soon she gave a big grin. "OOH! VINNY, I HAD NO IDEA YOU CARED!" She threw her arms around his neck and began squeezing the life out of him.

Everybody's thoughts:

Vincent: 0.0 EEEEE! I NEED BREATH!

Yuffie: ;D VINNNIIIEEEEE!

Cloud: ;-D Hehehehe... Aeris'll be so pleased with me!

Aeris: Aww... hehe, Cloud'll get a 'lil surprise one day... :)

Reno: o.o How can Vince take IT? Eh, never mind that. I've got a MUCH hawter chick than HIM.

Tifa: Awww, that's so cute ...Wait, why am I laying in Reno's chest? 0.0'

Suddenly, Tifa jolted up, causing everyone to go out of their little reverie. Yuffie even pulled off of Vincent.

"Oh, shit!"

Everyone stared at her.

Reno quirked an eyebrow.

She laughed nervously.

"Uhm, I mean, who's turn next?" She grinned sheepishly, and shifted to her right slightly, going off of Reno.

Everyone still stared for a while.

Aeris spoke up. "Uh... huh... hmm... okay then... Tifa, T or D?" She obviously picked up the 'T or D' bit from Cloud. Tifa looked at Aeris suspiciously. 'Let's see... If I pick dare, she'd probably choose something nasty, like making me do... something with Reno... umm... I guess I'll have to say truth, then...'

"Turth- um I mean Turk! Ugh! No, truth!" For some reason, she stuttered it.

Everyone stared at her.

Aeris slowly nodded, and grinned. "Yeah, whatever. Anyway, I want you to tell us about you..." Tifa looked at Aeris in horror. "...and Reno!" she demanded. Reno rolled his eyes, and jabbed Tifa in the shoulder with a finger. Being caught off guard, Tifa jumped up, and turned around. "What?" she hissed quietly. Everyone still stared at the pair. "Well... should we? Y'know..." he murmured, looking into her wine-colored eyes. Tifa bit her lip and looked back at her two best friends, who were actually quite excited. Cloud seemed excited as well, though Vincent was concentrating more on watching Yuffie, and making sure his throat was okay. In hesitation, she sighed and nodded. "Fine..." she muttered, crossing her arms across her chest while sinking down into the beanbag.

"Okay, well me and Teef-" Reno began. Yuffie cut him off. "Nuh-uh! Rissy said for Tifa to explain it all, so she will! Okay?" Reno rolled his eyes, and sank down as well, causing him and Tifa to be right on top of each other.

"Well... Reno and I... we used to be big friends and all, right? We both lived in California for a while, right? And I was about sixteen, and Reno was seventeen, and we... well, soon we were... going out and all." Reno sank down even more. Aeris and Yuffie were almost completely out of their seats, whilst even Vincent was listening now. Cloud's grin was wiped off.

Tifa looked down at the floor and continued. "Well... soon, things got really serious, and Reno... asked me to marry him." Everyone's eyes were bulging out. "I accepted of course, but soon... we got separated." Tifa's eyes were turning glazed. "And my dad... well, he didn't really approve, and... he forced me to move away without saying good bye..." Reno's face was completely hidden from his hair. Vincent looked down as well, while Cloud, Aeris and Yuffie were acting all dramatic.

Aeris was deep down in her thoughts and frowned. "But you were only sixteen! Didn't you care?" she asked. Tifa shook her head, and noticed Yuffie had literally fallen out of her seat. "So what... the only reason you two couldn't stay together was because of your DAD? Well that sucks! Why don'tcha just take off from where you left off?"

Interrupting everything, the doorbell suddenly triggered.

DING, DONG!

"I'll get it!" Aeris bounced up and ran towards the door, opening it. Nobody was even there, in fact there was just some Chinese take-out laying on the doorstep. "Weirdos..." Aeris muttered, grabbing the take-out.

"WHO WANTS TAKE-OUT!" she yelled, skipping into the lounge room. She stared at everyone. Cloud was now laying over the floor, looking inside an oddly familiar book, Reno was laying down on the loveseat, Vincent was on the couch, Yuffie was in the beanbag, and Tifa was sitting with her legs crossed, frowning at Cloud. When Aeris walked closer, she screeched and snatched the book. "EIIIIKKKK! CLOUD! DON'T YOU EVER LOOK AT THAT AGAIN!" She quickly slid the diary in her bag and glared at him. "Yeah! I told him he was being a perv, but he just ignored me!" Yuffie exclaimed, trying not to get lost in the beanbag.

Aeris glared at Cloud. "Why'd you do that!" Cloud tried looking innocent, and curled into a little ball. "EK! Please don't hurt me...Vincent told me to! It was a dare!" Aeris now glared at Vincent. "VINCENT? ...That's it! Cloud, I dare you to shove Vincent in the closet with Yuffie!" she demanded. "But-!"

"DO IT!"

Sighing in defeat, he grabbed Vincent, while Aeris grabbed Yuffie, and they both shoved the two in a nearby closet, not forgetting to lock the door of course. Vincent and Yuffie both blinked through the darkness.

Everything had happened so fast.

"LYKE, OMG! LEMME OUTTA HERE!" Yuffie yelled, banging her fists against the door. She huffed in annoyance, and crossed her arms. "Vinny! I told you it was being pervish telling Cloud to do that! You're such a perv! Perv, I tell you! PERV-!"

"I GET THE IDEA!" Vincent's shouting caught Yuffie off guard.

In return, Yuffie began whimpering. Vincent sighed, and sank down in the dark closet. "Vinnnnnnnny... ? How come you hate me so much?"

Vincent raised an eyebrow. "What?"

"You heard me..."

"Yuffie, I don't hate you."

"...But you always act like you do..."

"Yuffie, that's just the way I am. ...Why ask, though?"

"...Nothing, Vinny..."

Through the darkness, Yuffie smiled.


"Well that was uncalled for..." Tifa muttered as she ate some Chinese noodles.

"Heh, though I bet Yuffie'll enjoy it in there!" Aeris giggled, and took a sip of her soda.

"I always wondered how Vincent could last with that Hootie chi-"

"IT'S YUFFIE!"

"...Right..."

Cloud finished his noodles and shoved the packet in the bin, while sitting back down on the couch, crossing his arms behind his head.

He sighed.

"I'm bored..." he murmured.

Everyone finished up and sat back down on the couch.

"Borrrrinnnggg... Borrrrinnnggg... Borrr-"

"Cloud,"

"Yessum?"

"Will you shut the fuck up?"

"...Yes, Reno..."

...Silence...

"Hey, Teef! I have an idea! How about we go on a vacation this spring break just for... y'know... Reno and you?"

"WHAT?"

"I mean, not just with you and Reno alone and all, but with us as well. Cloud, me, Yuffie and Vincent. How does that suit you all?"

"I'm fine with that. Just as long as I don't have to sit next to that Hootie woman."

"...I'm fine with that to, Aeris!"

"Cool, Cloud! ;D How about you, Teef? I'm sure Yuffie and Vincent wouldn't mind..."

"...Okay..."

"Great! How about we shop for the stuff tomorrow, then?"

"Cool, I guess..."

"Then it's settled! The... uhh RCV-TAY group are goin' for a road trip!"

"...RCV-TAY group?"

"...Just shut up..."

N/A: Had to do the last bit in a hurry, seeming as I gotta get off the computer in fifteen minutes. o.o Poopie... anyway, review! And next chapter, they're going shopping and then they'll start up the road trip! Oh, and happy Easter!
