Yuffie walked out into the main room. She needed company, but she was still feeling kinda weird. She had a knot in her stomach and she felt like a total idiot.
She sat down across from Cloud in a big cushy chair and threw her leg over the arm of it. She looked at Cloud. "Talk," she said.
"About what?" Cloud looked up at her.'
"Vincent, duh," Yuffie rolled her eyes.
"What about him?"
"Why doesn't he like me?" Yuffie whined.
"Like I said before, he does like you," Cloud stated, "You're just too blind to see it."
Yuffie glared at Cloud who quickly added "No offense."
"Hmph," Yuffie sighed unhappily, "So enlighten me."
"Lucrecia," Cloud said.
"Yeah, like that says it all," Yuffie said sarcastically.
"Well it does," Cloud said, "Vincent's still in love with Lucrecia."
"No," Yuffie gasped (once again sarcastically).
"If you're not gonna listen I'm not gonna talk," Cloud grimaced.
"No, keep going," Yuffie said.
"Wouldn't you be crushed if your one true love ran off to someone else?"
"Yeah" Yuffie wispred as understanding spread across her face. "Thanks Cloud." She ran to the stairs and stopped, "If I don't come back Marlene can have my stuff."
She ran down the stairs and stopped at the bottom. She looked around the dark room, "Vincent?" she called timidly into the open space.
The coffin in the middle of the room slowly creaked open and Vincent climbed out."Yes?"
"I'm really sorry, I..."
"Yuffie," Vincent stopped her.
"I don't know what came over me, I..."
"Yuffie," Vincent tried again.
"What?" Yuffie asked, a slight whine in her voice.
Vincent grabbed Yuffie's wrists and kissed her. "I really do love you," he said. "I hope you know that."
Yuffie grinned and nodded, "Seeya Vinnie," she yelled and ran up the stairs laughing.
