Hey ya'll, It's TornAngelWings. I decided to write a couple of short one-shots, one for each of my favorite pairings, using random words straight out of the dictionary. I'm calling it my newly formed challenge the 50/50 Dictionary Challenge. It sorta rhymes. :) So this is 1/50 and the word used is Chowder. Cue sparkles!

Onions, potatoes, clams, and milk. That's all it is Yuffie. You can do it! It's a simple recipe. The Great Ninja and White Rose of Wutai shall not be bested by a soup! All you have to do is follow the directions carefully and completely…

"Gah! Who am I kidding?!" Yuffie stood in the kitchen, wielding a sharp knife in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other. She looked out of place in the dull-colored kitchen with her bright pink apron tied tight around her waist. She frowned as she re-read the instructions for baking. "There is no way I am going to be able to cook this and sneak back out the window before he gets home!" She stomped her foot in irritation. Cooking had never been the self-acclaimed Ninja's forte, but she stubbornly reminded herself why she was going through so much trouble. It was all for him.

Okay Yuffers, let's start by chopping up the onions…maybe he'll be delayed...get stuck in traffic….witness a crime…stop to walk an old lady across the street… Yuffie began to chop the onions, lost in her thoughts of what could possibly delay the arrival of the receiver of her meal.

She wiped a stray tear out of her eyes. Damn onions…making me all teary-eyed. She sniffled and wiped another one away. She about jumped out of her skin when she heard the only entrance into the apartment open. "Crap!!" She whispered, looking around. She hadn't even finished slicing the onions!

"Yuffie…Why are you in my kitchen?" The low voice startled her; she proceeded to drop the knife on her foot. Lucky for her she was still wearing her shoes.

"Vinnie! It's rude to sneak up on people!" She pointed at him accusingly with her spoon of doom.

"….You are in my apartment…I did not know you were here…" He replied quietly, observing her with his scarlet eyes.

"I'm in your apartment?!"

"Yuffie…"

"Ugh, fine! I snuck in through the window and tried to cook you dinner! Then I was gonna leave before you got home!"

"…Why?"

"Because you my friend, Vinnie!" Yuffie grinned widely, stepping closer to him. "You are such a workaholic. I thought you needed a little bit of Yuffie-ness to brighten your life!"

Vincent stared down into her stormy grey eyes. They are so sincere, he mused. He smiled just a little, causing Yuffie's eyes to light up. "I'll help you." Yuffie squealed and handed him to recipe for clam chowder. She knew he would be there for her.

This word screamed Yuffentine at me. Plus I love me some yummy Yuffentine. Feel free to join my 50/50 Dictionary Challenge; it's a barrel of fun. R & R, tell me what you think. Maybe even suggest some pairings? I've been feeling awfully bored lately, and I am willing to try something new.

I shouldn't even have to put a disclaimer here, because it would apocalypse if I owned Final Fantasy.

Love and Rockets,

TornAngelWings
