Note: I played Tales of Symphonia with my two brothers one day. (Presea and Colette are my best characters) Then I realized something... Genis IS a big fat brat! Lloyd could have smacked him silly a few times but that would be called Child abuse. If I was Lloyd I would have smacked him sometimes forgetting about Child laws. But I'm a girl I would have been Raine and smacked him upside the head. One of my friends quote match this little problem "I'm gonna smack the sh-t out of you!" Thank you, Tiffany!

I don't own Final Fantasy Seven's or the series characters, plot, or the love interests! Life Is like a Boat is owned by Rei Fu and the TV show, Bleach!

Title: Life Is Like a Boat

Vinnie's P.O.V

It's been two days that we all been stuck in this prison and the Haste's Stop effect wore off. Yuffie came and gave us food. But lately she haven't been talking to me, looking at me, or even handing stuff to me. She has grown paler and skinnier. We're losing her... The Yuffie we know and love. I need to help her but I can't leave...

Yuffie walked to the prison bars and grabbed one. I grabbed her arm. "Look at me..." I said worried. Her skin was rough and it was greasy. She broke the lock with a throwing dagger. "Yuffie... tell me." The others ran to get their equipment and Materia. "What's wrong?" She started to shake and I lift her chin. Her face was bruised, cut, and covered in dirt. "He... abused you?" I looked into her eyes.

Yuffie's P.O.V

"You need to escape." I pushed him away. His metal arm grabbed my hand and pinned against the wall. 'WOW! This is weirdly nice.'

"You changed Yuffie. I liked the old, happy, carefree you!" He was crying "I don't care if you are Eliza Gainsborough or whoever! Just please turn back to normal! PLEASE!" He head was avoiding my eyes.

I took in a deep breath started to sing...

Nobody knows who I really am.

I never felt this empty before

And if I ever need someone to come along

Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong

We are all rowing a boat of fate,

The waves keep on coming and we can't escape,

But if we ever get lost on our way,

The waves will guide you through another day

Tooku de iki wo shiteru

Toumei ni natta mitai

Kurayami ni omoeta kedo

Mekakushi sareteta dake

Inori wo sasagete atarashii hi wo matsu

Azayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made eh

Nobody knows who I really am

Maybe they just don't give a damn

But if I ever need someone to come along

I knew you will follow me and keep me strong

Hito no kokoro wa utsuri yuku

Nukeda shitaku naru

Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de fune wo tsureteku

And every time I see your face

The oceans heave up to my heart

And make me wanna strain at the oars

And soon I can see the shore

Oh I can see the shore

When will I see the shore

I want you to know who I really am

I never thought I'd feel this way towards you

And if you ever need someone to come along

I will follow you and keep you strong

Tabi wa mata tsuzuite ku

Odayaka na hi mo

Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de fune wo terashi dasu

Inori wo sasagete atarashii hi wo matsu

Aasayaka mi hikaru umi sono hate made

And every time I see your face

The oceans heave up to my heart

And make me wanna strain up the oars

And soon I can see the shore

Unme I no fune wo kogi

Nami wa tsugi kara tsugi he to

Watashi tachi wo osou kedo

Sore mo suteki na tabi ne

Dore mo suteki na tabi ne

"Yuffie..." He was about to ask but I kissed him on the lips. It felt like time froze and I could be with him forever... But it isn't meant to be... I turned around and ran the other way.

"ESCAPE WHILE I HOLD ALPHA OFF!" I ran to the airship's engine room. Alpha appeared in front of me. He was about to hit me until BAM! I saw a bullet hit Alpha's arm. Vincent grabbed my arm and started to run to the hover bikes. BANG! Vincent hit the ground and I tripped. "Ow... Vinnie, what's wrong?" He was bleeding in the chest. "Ah... ah...ah... WAHHHH KAHHHHHH!" I screamed. "NOOOOOOOOO VINNIE!" Tears started rolling down my face like mad. Finally I snapped. "DAMN ALL OF YOU TO HELL! Final Limit Break! All the forces of hell grant me the power to kill these Bastards! I'll explode the damned bodies with the help of my hellish minions!" Cloud, Tifa, and Nanaki made it in and Vincent slowly got up. My eyes morphed all white and a white aura formed around my body. A barrier surrounded Vincent, Cloud, Nanaki, and Tifa's bodies. All of Alpha's partners fell down dead covered in blood. Monsters appeared around Alpha and started attacking him. 'I can't stop myself. Maybe...' I teleported in front of Alpha and my hand glowed white "Leviathan's Blast Of-"

My hand almost went through Alpha's stomach but... "Yuffie, please stop..." Vincent coughed.

My knees hit the ground with a K-SLUMP! 'I almost killed in cold blood...'

"Yuffie, please..." He touched my face.

I closed my eyes and sighed. "I'm sorry... Vinnie... The only way to stop them is this pain in my heart..." 'Shed my blood before they gain the equipment for the ceremony.' I grabbed a throwing dagger that I use to unlock the prison's lock. STAB! I stabbed myself in my heart and everything around me went black.

"YUFFIE NO DAMMIT NO DON'T DIE!" I head Vincent's cries. K-SLUMP!

'I'm sorry... Maybe in another life Vincent...' My thoughts echoed. I woke up then looked around the darkness and got up. "Hello?" I said with my voice trembling. My hair and eyes were back to normal. "I'm...back?" A person almost flew into me. "Ek...huh wait...that's me?" I asked. The person was wearing her first clothes but they were all ripped up. Lord Godo's monster forum appeared behind me. "WAIT! FATHER... Ummm I MEAN GODO! DON'T HURT HER... I MEAN ME!" He walked through me and punched past me in the gut. They disappeared. "That was during the battle between Godo and me. He went through me so easily without hesitation." My body was numb. Aerith appeared behind me and I turned around with a gasp. "Aerith" She smiled and ran the other way. "WAIT!" I ran after her and a field of snow appeared around me very quickly.

Zack walked next to me. "Aerith and I are the keys to doors of your memories. Wait! A Half-Cetra... You are a rare creature, right Aerith?" He asked. Aerith nodded slowly. "What brings you hear, my dear Eliza?" He asked.

"I killed myself to... Help Vincent and the gang." I looked amused at the fact my sister and her lover are keys to my memories...must be the same for Cloud, Tifa, and everyone else in the group.

"Why do you think we are here, Eliza?" Aerith asked.

I remembered something very important. "It was 3 mouths before the reunion Cloud and Tifa made. Godo, Luna (my "mother"), and Delta (their real son) pushed me off an airship. Then I fought a giant monster in Northern Crater and got badly wounded. But luckily, I escaped and made it all the way to Icicle Inn..." My eyes soften.

Flashback (Yuffie's P.O.V)

I limped across the snowy field holding my left arm to stop it from bleeding. "Damn... It almost took Bio! Cloud's gift to me! Hehe! Thinking I would die like that, God? I'm smarter than you think! MUWHAHAHA! Ack! Cough! Cough!" I started to cough blood but wiped the blood off my mouth.

"Yuffie, is that you? Damn girl! What the hell happened to you?" I looked over my shoulder. Cid, Shera, and Aeris' hand were behind me.

I smiled at the sight of them in front me and sighed, "Hey Cid. I see you popped Shera's little cherry, Cid." I laughed then winked at him. Cid and Shera blush a deep shade of red.

"Never mind having sex! Aunty Yuffie is hurt, mommy!" Aeris shouted and looked at my wounds. We all three turned deep red.

Cid lifted me up "Fnck...You're right, Aerith!"

"Aerith..." I looked at Cid with worried eyes. "Why that name out of a million?"

"It's was Cloud's idea to call her that. Aeris for short so don't confuse her with Gainsborough." He started to run to Icicle Inn. Shera and Aeris followed...

End Flashback

I closed my eyes and the snowy field disappeared. Aerith, Zack and I were back in the darkness. Aerith pointed up and Zack snapped his fingers. We were in Cosmo Canyon. "Cosmo Canyon..." I muttered. "Hey, it's the Big Candle!"

Author Notes: Well whatcha think? Aeris sure knows what to say around adults! Next will be a Nanaki/Reeve and Yuffie flashback. Yuffie's heart is confused and she might not want to come back to the world of living.

I need 3 reviews so please...! Be kind! I'm lonely –puppy dogs eyes-
