Barn Time!

AN/ So I am working on this to make up for the late update. I do not own Final Fantasy 7 or any of the character (do you think that is too big of a Christmas present?). So enjoy!!

I woke up and wanted to go ride my Chocobo, Sugar. But I needed someone to go with me. My license was currently taken away and it was quite a walk to see her. I ran down stairs to see the place disserted. I looked at the clock and it was 9:00 am. Wow I hardly slept in so I must have been tired. I looked around to see where everybody went. Then I saw a note:

Yuffie,

Everyone went out for a bit and we didn't want to wake you. Be back soon.

~Tifa.

P.S. Vincent didn't want to go so he should still be here.

I put the note down. If I were a vampire where would I be? I tapped my foot as I thought. Duh! Vincent is always in his room. I ran upstairs and by the time I got up there he was standing in the doorway to his room.

"What do you need Yuffie?"

"Well…."I said turning the toe of my shoe as I spoke. "I wanted to go see my Chocobo today. And it's a long walk there and my license got suspended. So can you take me." I turned on my full begging charm. He considered it for a second then gave me a answer.

"Ok. How fast can you be ready?"

"Give me a sec to run to my room. See you down stairs in a minute." I skipped away happily.

We were soon down at the Chocobo farm and I ran down to Sugars stall. She was a pure white Chocobo with grey eyes. She was a gift from my dad six years ago and is very rare. Vincent slowly fallowed and stared at her.

"So Vinnie….Your Chocobo for the day is in the next stall."

"Yuffie." I turned to look at him. He looked more scared and confused than angry. "I'm not riding a Chocobo." He shoke his head as he spoke.

"Why?" I pleaded. "She needs exercise and the only way to do that is to ride her. And I can't go by myself! Sugar will freak out and then where will I be! You just gotta Vinnie! You just gotta!" I begged so much. It would be lonely on a ride by myself.

I don't know how Yuffie got me on this thing she calls 'Diablo'. Even though she claims he is as gentle as a lamb. But I had a huge fear of Chocobos ever since I was young. Especially since this one looked exactly like the one I got injured on. He was HUGE, black with dark eyes. He was a monster. Then I realized, I was one too.

"Come on Vinnie! Lets got out on the trails!" Yuffie was standing by an open gate motioning for me to ride Diablo over. So far I have sat on him. That was it. Yuffie got him ready for me and she got him tacked up. Yuffie was riding bareback and has went through the faster gaits. I lightly tapped him in the sides, my past years of riding experience coming back to me. He lurched forward and started to do a jig. I haven't ridden since I was 10 and almost forgot how to stop. Yuffie thought I wanted to race so she gets Sugar into a dead run. Diablo fallowed. At first I was terrified. But then, I realized I missed riding. We were full speed, neck in neck until Yuffie pulled a trick that was up her sleeve. She tapped Sugar in the side twice. Sugar started to bat her eyes noticeably. Diablo noticed and him being a male, he slowed. Sugar had an extra burst of speed and ran between two trees and Yuffie slowed her to a stop and turned her to face us.

Vincent and I cooled out the Chocobos' on the way back. During that time we talked. Yes. I can't believe I got Vincent Valentine to open up a bit. We got back to the stables and Sugar and Diablo were back in there stalls. I just got done brushing Sugar and peeked into Diablo's stall. Vincent stood there looking puzzled. I grasped the latch and slid open the door. "Need some help there Vinnie?" I asked as he looked up.

***

Yuffie came in holding expensive Chocobo grooming brushes.

"No. I think Diablo cut himself." Yuffie's face crinkled up with worry. She dropped the brushes and went to look at his leg. I went to help her. I lifted his leg while she looked at the wound. Diablo wouldn't lift his leg at first so Yuffie came up and pulled hard. I was shocked by how strong she was. Her little frame looked like it couldn't hold that much strength. She handed me Diablo's foot and our hands brushed. Mine cold against hers so warm. My heart speed up and blood started to rush to my cheeks.

"Hmm…Looks like he could use a wrap." Yuffie seemed unfazed by the touch. I guess she couldn't like a monster like me. She left to go get a wrap for Diablo.

***

The second I left the stall I felt as the feeling go away. The one that happened when me and Vincent brushed hands. Wait! This could not be happening! Me and Vincent?! No, impossible. He couldn't- Correction wouldn't like me. Not the way everyone thinks of me. Nope. It was never gonna happen.

AN/ So that's the end of this one. I can guarantee the next one is on it's way! So keep reading!
