A/N: Sorry for no update in a while. I have been…busy. On with the show! Confused with the pairing? This ought to clear it up.

Malon and Vincent I

For two weeks, school had been going well for them. Zelda studied hard in her room. Link kept his laid back attitude and always kept an eye out for another conquest. Vincent, of course, balanced doing work and video games seamlessly. Malon kept up with her studies along with her boyfriend.

Friday came and everyone was ready for the weekend. Malon and Vincent sat in class. Their teacher droned on about nothing. Malon filed her nails while Vincent had his forehead on the desk, playing Nintendo DS under it.

"What are your plans for today Malon?" Lulu asked.

Malon blew on her nails, "Me and Seth should be going somewhere. I have to ask him when I get the chance."

"Vincent?" Lulu asked.

Vincent looked up, "Unlike Ms. Vanity here, I don't have any. Its fine though, I would rather not waste gas with my cursed eight-cylinder Escalade."

Class ended and Malon was the first one out. Once she stepped out into the hallway, she searched the bustling forum for her Seth. Looking up and down the hall, she finally found him leaning against a locker. Malon ran to him.

"Seth," Malon said innocently.

He turned around, "Hey Malon. How you been?"

"I've been ok. I was wondering where we going today," Malon said. "I was thinking of going to-"

"Look Malon," Seth interrupted. "I have to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Well, I think its time we saw other people. I just feel like we should experience as mush as we can now. Besides, it's not you, its me," Seth said. "See you around." He turned on his heel and left Malon by herself.

Malon was devastated. She really liked Seth and he spewed every clichéd break-up line to her. Tears welled up in her eyes. Malon ran for the front doors of the school. She went to the bench outside and sat on it. Tears rolled down her face. She lost track of time and then, after she got over the initial shock, fished for her phone in her purse and called Ms. Harkinian.

She convinced Ms. Harkinian that she didn't feel like she could be in school anymore. Malon waited outside. After a few minutes, a steel gray Mercedes stopped in front of he school. Malon picked up her things and walked to the car. She got in the passenger seat and stared out the window. Ms. Harkinian, sensing what happened, left Malon alone and dropped her off home.

Malon walked into the house and sat on the couch. She let the tears fall gradually as she tried to reassure herself. She just wanted the world to end right then. A simple committed relationship is all she ever wanted.

The front door opened and Vincent stood in the light. "Nothing's better then skipping class to get a manicure and hair done," he said, admiring his nails. He looked over to the couch to find Malon staring away from him. "Looks like I'm not the only one."

Malon sniffed. Vincent sighed as he pieced together what he could. Malon was home crying. She didn't criticize him at all and she was crying. She is early and crying. Vincent went over to the couch and sat next to Malon.

"Come on, tell me. What's wrong?" Vincent asked.

"Leave me alone Vincent," Malon said softly. "I'm not in the mood."

"You know, I have this thing," Vincent said. "That when I see a girl cry I cant help but not try to comfort them. I'm not going away; just tell me what's wrong. It'll make you feel better."

"Its Seth…he dumped me," Malon said. She sniffed, "Guess you were right."

Vincent sighed, "Look I'm sorry. I know you really liked him. If it makes you feel any better, I would give anything to make me wrong."

Malon looked at Vincent and then started to cry again. Vincent placed his arms around her and stroked her hair. He tore her away, "Okay, enough crying. As insensitive as it is, you have to get over him. You were way to good for him if he needed to see someone else. Your beautiful, smart, sexy, and so many other things that I cant list right now. Stop crying and start searching for another boyfriend."

Malon stared at him. She blinked a few times, "I guess your right. Thanks Vincent."

"No problem," Vincent said. "Seriously, don't let him affect you like this. You are your own person. His will isn't yours." Suddenly, a small puppy jumped up on the couch and began to lick Vincent's face.

Malon's eyes widened up, "You have a puppy?"

"Uh," Vincent said, trying to hide the dog under his shirt. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Gimme!" Malon said. She pried the dog from Vincent and cuddled it. "Are you sure you're human. You know exactly how to cheer me up. I love dogs," she said. She hugged it even more, "What's this cutie's name?"

"I named him Sephy," Vincent said. "Glad to see the old Malon back."

For the rest of the day, Malon and Vincent sat on the couch playing with Sephy. He was glad to see her happy and not crying over some asshole that only cared for her body. Link and Zelda came home, and were a little confused with the new addition to their "family".

Link sat on the easy chair and turned on the television. Sephy went around and made himself known to the two while always creeping back to Malon.

Malon laughed, "Your dog likes me better then you."

"Aw, that isn't right. Come on Sephy, come here," Vincent said. After Sephy didn't budge, "Can't believe this."

Malon smiled, "Thanks Vincent, your weird persona has cheered me up. I'm going upstairs. Can I take Sephy with me?"

Vincent waved his hand, "Just go. Take him."

Malon cradled Sephy and went upstairs. Vincent sighed and looked at the clock. It was almost six. How time did fly when you were trying to comfort someone.

"Is it just me, or were you a little too happy with Malon?" Zelda asked.

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Vincent said. He got up from the couch, "Anyone else hungry?"

"Stop evading my question," Zelda said. "Come on, just tell me. I wont tell. Vincent, I'm going to bug the living hell out of you until you tell me."

Vincent looked up into the ceiling, "The Bat signal, I must go." He did a cape motion and sprinted upstairs.

"What a loser," Zelda said.

"Vincent's like that. The best thing to do is leave him alone. Besides, Vincent doesn't like Malon. They're so incompatible like Paladin and Blackguard," Link said. "Simple as that."

"Link, I don't know much about Dung-,"

Link quickly ran away upstairs. Zelda crossed her arms and sighed. Zelda decided to follow everyone upstairs. AS she was climbing the stairs, Vincent came running down them.

"Whoa Vincent, where are you going?" Zelda asked.

"Going to get some Chinese. Malon wants some Lo Mien and I'm craving for some egg rolls. Want anything?" Vincent asked.

Zelda shook her head, "Now your getting dinner for her? Talk about a man."

Vincent shook his head, "Whatever Zelda." He went downstairs and left the house. Zelda continued upstairs and went into Malon's room. She was playing with the puppy on her bed.

"So, you and Vincent…"

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Malon asked.

"Never mind," Zelda said.

"Look," Link said, coming into the room. "The only way to know what Vincent thinks is by looking in his journal. Its on his computer."

"What his password then?" Malon asked.

"I don't know," Link said. "I know its there but that's it."

Zelda left the room and took his laptop from its place. She brought it into Malon's room and clicked on his profile. She gave it to Malon who looked at it.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Read the hint," Zelda said.

Link sat crossed armed on Malon's bed. Malon clicked on the question mark and read what it said.

"Beautiful redhead?" Malon asked. "Come on, it cant be…Watch, he's very egotistical." Malon typed in "Vincent" but that was wrong. Malon hesitated and then typed her name in the box. The computer loaded up and there was the Tifa Lockhart wallpaper.

"There's the latest journal," Zelda said, peeking into the screen.

Malon clicked on it, "Why don't we stop? What are we going to gain?"

As Zelda scanned the lines of text, she found it. She pointed to it, "That."

Malon read it.

"…and Zelda kissed me. What the hell was that about anyways? Whatever though, not like I really like her. Doesn't mean much to me. Still though, why try to have a relationship here? We are living together and if we break up, who knows how that will affect here. Kind of like an office romance. I'm being too hypocritical, given the chance; I would go out with Malon. Truth is, I really like her. She may be a Velocity Girl but who cares. She's just so…no words can truly describe it but, screw it."

"Oh my…" Malon said.

"Chock one up for me," Zelda said to Link.

Link shrugged, "Give me a break. Doubt he'll so anything about it."
