Yuffie looked out the window holding onto Vincent, he held on to her as well, she didn't look half way as scary anymore, she looked sane... Enough for Vincent's likeing. The sky was clear and the sun was shineing Vincent put a hand over his eyes the sunlight was actually quite annoying to him. Yuffie put her hand over his eyes so he wouldn't have to. Vincent looked put at her by moveing his head away from her hand and she looked down and smiled at him. Yuffie didn't know how long Vincent was going to remain in that form he was stuck in.
"Wow." said Cid looking at Yuffie and Vincent, "I knew you guys were friends, but Vincent she's way to old for you."
"Cid!" said Yuffie as a blush ran across her face.
"Shut up!" said Vincent with a blush going across his face.
"What? It's true!" said Cid. Yuffie and Vincent kept glareing at Cid befre Yuffie walked off, she didn't know why she didn't steal Cloud's silent spell holding materia and use it on Cid's big mouth.
Yuffie than began to think, what if they couldn't get him back to normal, when he was old enough for them to actually date if he grew up as a normal child, Yuffie would be to old. That thought made Yuffie feel sick just thinking about it, but Vincent, he seemed so intent on makeing himself normal for a reason, more than just his own benefit. Vincent sat down in her lap, and looked through her window, it was so beautiful and clear.
"Uhm.. Yuffie?" asked Vincent.
"Yes Vinnie?"
"I uh... I..." said Vincent.
"Ok Yuffie, Vincent, Cid says he's sorry about what he said will you forgive him?" asked Cloud bursting in right i the nick of time... Again.
"Maybe." said Yuffie.
"..." said Vincent it seemed every time he was going to tell Yuffie he loved her, someone would interrupt him. He looked down, it was so peaceful and quiet, why did the most insane person on the Highwind seem to like disturbing the peace? Vincent just didn't get it, he just couldn't confess his feelings for her, and then when he's ready someone or thing unnerves him. He felt kind of lonely, what if Yuffie fell in love with someone else and he couldn't get to tell her.
'Maybe it's for the best', Vincent thought, 'I mean what if I never return back to my normal age?' He sighed and Yuffie hugged him tighter. Vincent looked up at her, not knowing Yuffie already told him that she loved him. Yuffie walked out of her room and into the main room where everyone else was, Vincent looked stressed, his arms were hanging down and he had a disappointed face.
"Aww what's wrong Vincent?" asked Tifa, she knelt down so she'd be face to face with him.
"..." said Vincent in reply. He blushed and looked away, nothing more he hated than "awww" and especially when it was directed at him. Tifa sighed she knew Vincent hated it more than anything when someone did that but when you see a pouting two year old what else can you do?
"Hm... I wonder why he's pouting?" asked Cloud, Vincent shot a glare and the chocobo haired man, Vincent knew why and Cloud was completely oblivious that it was him makeing Vincent angry that moment.
"Maybe... A bath will help?" asked Yuffie, automatically Vincent started to pull away from her grip. Yuffie sweat dropped that only made it worse, and Vincent was not the talkitive type baby or not.
"New clothes?" asked Tifa, that made Vincent glare.
"Turning back to normal!" said Cloud.
"Thank for stateing the obvious Cloud, yet again." said Cid looking at his fine haired friend.
"It's what I do!" said Cloud giveing Cid a thumbs up, that made everyone sweat drop.
"Psst... Barret." whispered Yuffie.
"Yeah?" he whispered back.
"I knew Cloud was crazy but insane?" whispered Yuffie.
"I know." said Barret never letting his eyes faulter off the leader of their group.
Vincent shook his head because now he was getting a migrane head ache. Then he held the space inbetween his eyesto make it stop, Yuffie noticed and carried him off, and he was laid down on a bed.
"You lay here and I'll be back in an hour." said Yuffie, as she walked out, Vincent put his hands behind his head and looked up at the ceiling. He then rolled over and went to sleep, knowing that maybe, this is all a dream and he'll wake up or at least it was worth a shot. Cloud sat in the hall way and looked at Yuffie, he smirk and stood up and walked over to her.
"I know something you don't know." said Cloud.
"What?" asked Yuffie.
"I ain't tellin' ya you need to find it out on your own." said Cloud.
"Aww! Come on tell me!" said Yuffie.
"Nah, I just forgot it!" said Cloud.
"CLOUD!" shouted Yuffie as she chased him with her Shuriken, Vincent heard her shriek and then thought, 'Oh crap! Does Cloud... I mean he knows!' he thought to himself. But then he thought maybe it was him just being paranoid so he ignored the thought not knowing that's exactally what Cloud knew.
