------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside the newly repaired Gummi ship, Cloud and Yuffie discussed the next course of action they wanted to embark on. They came to a conclusion the next best place to travel to was the jungle like world. Once they arrived, they disembarked into a terribly humid forest of green vines and tall trees with canopy ceilings filled with wildlife.

"Oh my gawd, Cloud," Yuffie whined, trekking through the deep soil in on the jungle floor. "This place… gyahhh..."

Cloud just shook his head quietly. "We agreed this was the green planet Aerith might be on."

Yuffie scoffed, "Oh, okay. Yeah, this is some 'Wonderland', chocobo head." Cloud just remained silent.

The duo kept walking through the jungle, Cloud slashing away obnoxiously at the foliage that was in there way. Yuffie, too, brought along her oversize shuriken and hacked and slashed away at the plant life surrounding them.

After a long while of trudging through the forest, a light glimmered out and revealed a clearing completely surrounded by huddling stalks of bamboo. Cloud hoisted his giant sword on his back holster while Yuffie remained carrying her shuriken star at her side.

"Guh, about time. I thought we'd never get out of there. This jungle business is nasty," Yuffie complained some more allowing her body to go limp and laying out on the dry flat soil.

While she lay out on the dry land, Cloud ran around the bamboo thicket, observing all the areas of the clearing.

"The hell you doing, Cloudy?" Yuffie asked annoyingly, tilting only her head up to look around while the rest of her body remained sprawled out flat.

"The road," Cloud stated out loud, "The checkers, where are they…?" The spiky blond was more or less just spurting out random rhetorical questions, looking between gaps in the bamboo.

"There's a trail still ahead, Cloud, why don't you just keep following it?" Yuffie asked, slowly starting to pull herself back up on her feet.

Cloud didn't turn to her while he looked around but he answered, "The road, it was checkered. That's just dirt. I need to find the checkers."

Yuffie just shook her head. "Just follow the stupid trail! Gawd, your so dense sometimes, bird brain."

Cloud shrugged in defeat as he looked ahead through the trail leading out of the bamboo thicket. "Whatever," he said, sighing.

The duo continued through the bamboo forest and followed the trial. It wasn't before long they reached some campsite with yellow tents and things from globes, dishes and grandfather clocks all stacked up on one another in another separate clearing.

"What the—" Yuffie started but Cloud gave her a look saying 'just be quiet'.

Approaching the tent, Yuffie and Cloud slowly walked closer, keeping a sharp eye on their surroundings, seeing they were still in unfamiliar grounds.

Suddenly, they both jolted their heads towards the largest yellow tent, a hulking figure walking out of it holding a shotgun.

"It's not hunting, Miss Porter, I'm merely protecting from the gorillas in case one may attack," the man said in a proper gentleman's accent. Turning his attention away from the tent, he looked up from under the cloth door and saw Cloud and Yuffie standing still just a few feet away from him. "Excuse me?" the man asked in the same manner as he left the tent.

Yuffie and Cloud looked at each other, looking for an excuse. "Uh, hehe," Yuffie began, giving the stranger a weak wave.

Then, bluntly, Cloud stepped forward and approached the man. "We're lost."

Yuffie gawked at Cloud, who seemed rather unbothered by the fact he revealed their vulnerable position.

The man laughed and stroked his long curly mustache. "Clearly. The jungle is an easy place," Quickly, the large muscular man changed his expression and leaned in closer at the duo, "However, my question is how you got here."

"Just…eh, but a boat, you know?" Yuffie lied, trying to force a friendly smile on her face.

"Clayton! By Jove, who are you talking to out there!" A horse woman's voice with the same accent yelled rushing out the cloth door. "Oh! Visitors! Wait—how do we have visitors, Clayton?!" Clearly the matching accents also indicated radically changing emotions.

The hulking man with the shotgun turned around and shook his head. "They found us, Miss Porter. I didn't invite them."

The woman was short with large light brown eyes and long light auburn hair that fell straight down on her shoulders. Unlike the man, who wore a light tan hunters garb with tall black boots, she was underdressed in a sleeveless grey top and a dark brown long skirt.

"Well, don't be rude, let them in!" she yelled out at the brute then focusing her gaze at Cloud and Yuffie, waving at them. "Come in! Come in, please!"

Cloud and Yuffie just looked at each other and Cloud entering first, they walked inside the tent, the hunter following in last.

"Dear, dear! Well, you're our first visitors. Well, haha, of course, not including Tarzan. Oh, dear, that was rude of me, he really is a guest without feeling like a guest. Doesn't that ever happen? Goodness, here me, rambling on and on about something you have no idea I'm talking about, haha," the young woman said, talking at a rather quick pace.

The man showed them to an antique looking sofa chair and couch inside the tent. "Please, take a seat. By the way, might I ask what our guests names are?"

Then, the young woman jumped and cut the duo off before they even started. "Dear me! I'm just so rude! Like I said, it's been so long since we've had visitors. I'm Jane Porter, but please just Jane. Oh, and this is Clayton, our, per say, bodyguard will you?" She finally finished, with no signs of being out of breath.

Cloud just nodded in awe at the mile a minute speech Jane had. "Uh, I'm Cloud Strife," was his simple and quiet answer.

"Oh, is it! Well, that's a lovely name, really," she responded voluntarily. Then she turned her attention to Yuffie, who seated herself next to Cloud on the loveseat. "And you dear, yes you, what's your name?"

Yuffie grinned proudly and stood up straight, just after getting comfortable on the couch, placing her fists at her waist. "I'm the Great Ninja Yuffie Kisaragi!"

Cloud rubbed his brow while Clayton rolled his eyes. The only person amused other than Yuffie was Jane, who before even asking her guests, was preparing a spot of tea for everyone.

"I do say, you both have very unfamiliar names, but very intriguing. Gosh, I just do love getting visitors, don't you Clayton?" Jane added, yet again adding her own commentary.

Clayton leaned on his shotgun with one arm and replied, "Indeed."

Just as Jane finished offering the tea to the new guests and suddenly the cloth door again whipped open and two new figures entered the room. One, a muscular half naked man in a loincloth and long brown dreads walked in, his face rigid and tough from what it looked like, years of living a rugged lifestyle. The second was a short young man dressed in a blue vest with a white filled shirt under it and light blue pants with tall black boots and matching gloves.

"Oh, dear me, Tarzan, Zidane, just in time for tea," Jane chirped excitedly, rushing over to collect more teacups.

Tarzan grunted happily rushing over to Cloud and Yuffie, sniffing the two of them extremely close and uncomfortably.

"Oh, Tarzan, knock it off!" Jane shouted shooing him away. "We don't sniff the guests."

The short young man walked over to the duo sitting on the couch and let out a cheery smile. "Hey, how's it goin'? I'm Zidane," his voice was youthful but not quite boyish either.

"I'm Yuffie and this is Cloud, it's a pleasure to… Oh holy crap!" Yuffie exclaimed, pointing at Zidane, gawking obnoxiously.

"Yuffie, cut it out, that's rude," Cloud snapped, slapping her hand down.

Instead of being offended, Zidane just laughed loudly and continued. "Don't worry about it, but are you talking about this?" Just then, from between his legs, a furry light brown tail started wagging around his waist and wriggling up the sides of his chest. "I know, it's totally weird, right?"

Now, Cloud saw what Yuffie was goggling at. "Oh wow…That's different," he said, rather impressed.

Zidane just smiled and plopped himself on the sofa chair. He directed his attention back to Cloud and Yuffie and asked, "So what brings you to the jungle?" The golden question Jane had just about to ask while Clayton had that resting in the back of his mind, though failed at retrieving it earlier.

Before Yuffie could answer him with come crazy elaborate tale, Cloud started, "We're looking for someone we think we might be here."

Zidane shrugged, "What do they look like?"

Yuffie answered, "Well, there's this lanky girl with crazy long hair and a skimpy dress—"

Cloud smacked Yuffie on the back of her head. She stuck her tongue out at him and pouted while crossing her arms over her chest. "There's a girl in a yellow dress with a long brown braid and green eyes. The other is a man with long red hair and armored boots."

Jane shook her head after taking a small sip of tea. "Sorry, dear, haven't seen anyone like that around here," she answered than gazed around at the other people in the room. "Any one else?" Clayton and Zidane shook their heads while Tarzan could barely comprehend the conversation at all.

"It's just been the four of us, well, three at first. We met monkey boy and chimp man later," Clayton added.

Cloud looked around the room. "What, you said you started with three and gained two? But there's only four of you…"

Jane chimed in jovially, "Oh, daddy is out feeding gorillas. Or, he was with Tarzan and… Wait a minute! Where's daddy?!"

Zidane just smiled back and answered, "Oh, somewhere with the gorillas."

Clayton grabbed his shotgun and held a fist to the young man with the tail. "You mean you found the gorillas?! And you left the professor with them?!"

Zidane shrugged, "Yeah? So what? He'll be fine."

Tarzan heard gorillas and could see the worry in Jane's face and anger in Clayton's. As best as he could, Tarzan tried speaking out. "Gorilla…Family…No…Hurt Pro…Profezzer."

Jane smiled sweetly at Tarzan and corrected him, "Professor. Pro-fes-sor, dear, Fessor."

Tarzan looked up to Jane and said back, "Professor."

Jane clapped happily and replied, "Good job Tarzan! See, Clayton, Zidane, he's catching on wonderfully!"

Clayton shook his fist again, "Miss Porter! You're father is in danger! This is no time for teaching ape men to speak!"

Jane stood up from her seat, still holding her tea set. "Excuse me! Teaching Tarzan how to speak is essential for bridging the communication gap with the gorillas and humans!

Then, Yuffie added, "Why don' you just use monkey boy over here to translate? I mean, just look at him."

Zidane for the first time changed his expression from something not so pleasant. "Excuse me? Just because I have a tail doesn't make me uncivilized! Besides, you look more like a monkey than me!"

Yuffie huffed. "Do not! I'm a girl! I perfectly normal and ladylike piece of feminine beauty!"

Zidane began to laugh. "Oh please! Ladylike? Just a second ago you were seating bowlegged!"

Cloud couldn't contain himself much more. "He's right, you know, you're more ape than he is."

Yuffie stomped her feet and headed out the door. "You know what?! Fine! So what if I'm not all miss 'princess butthead'! It's not like I want to be like every stupid girl you meet! I don't pass out flowers and hit on lame dudes who wear lame ass SOLIDER uniforms!"

Cloud then glared at her intensely from the antique loveseat. "Are you implying you're not like Aerith?" Zidane and Jane looked at each other and shrugged at the unfamiliar name.

Yuffie snorted and stomped her feet on the floor. "So what if I am?!" Just after yelling that at Cloud, she pivoted and rushed out the tent and ran out into the jungle.

Cloud jumped form the seat, heading towards the exit and quickly turned to everyone. "Excuse me," was all he said, rushing out the cloth door of the tent.

Once Cloud got outside, Yuffie was nowhere to be found. Beginning to worry, Cloud began calling out for her. "Yuffie?! Yuffie! Yuffie, come back! Yuffie?!" Leaving the sword back in the tent, Cloud rushed around the campsite, looking behind the larger objects sitting around.

While looking around the junk that was piled up in the campground, the group emerged from the tent, Zidane holding out Cloud's sword he had left behind.

"Look, we'll set up two search parties. One will go after the professor, the other Yuffie," he offered, sounding quite guilty from the argument inside. "Sorry for starting all that back there, I sometimes like my mouth get ahead of me."

Cloud looked into the young man's eyes and clearly saw honesty. He sighed to took back his sword in hand and stood with his head hung low. "She's always been like this. I wouldn't apologize for anything."

Zidane nodded, though Cloud didn't really convince him that this is just Yuffie's usual self. "Well, Why doesn't Tarzan, Jane and Clayton team up since Tarzan knows the jungle the best, and since I have a pretty good understand too, I'll join you Cloud," he offered and turned to everyone else. "Sound good everyone?"

"If that's the plan, then, yes, we shall stick to it," Clayton remarked, loading his rifle with bullets. "Not to worry, we have protection."

Cloud swung his large sword in front on his body in response to Clayton's remark. Zidane let out a weak smile and nodded. "Meet back here by nightfall if we haven't found either of them, okay?"

"Right!" Jane said excitedly. Even though her father seemed to be missing in the jungle, the thrill of delving into an adventure was clearly written all over her face.

Once Clayton, Jane and Tarzan left in on direction, Cloud and Zidane headed into another. Cloud began slicing through rainforest branches to clear the way while Zidane seemed to make use of his tail and wrapped himself around vines and swing back and forth to navigate the area. Cloud watched him in awe.

"Have you lived in the jungle your whole life?" he asked, slicing through another tree branch.

Zidane laughed. "Hell no! I grew up in the city." He then jumped from a branch and walked next to Cloud.

Cloud gave a sort of confused looked and asked, "Then what are you doing here in a jungle?"

"Just hangin' out!" Zidane joked, nudging Cloud in the ribs. He just at Zidane with bored eyes and slashed down another tree.

"Gah," Zidane said out loud, rest his hands behind his head, "I've always wanted to say that, heh heh." Cloud just shook his head and kept moving forward. "Honestly, though, I'm kinda on personal journey."

"What for?" Cloud suddenly became interested.

Zidane let his hands drop as he sighed. "Looking for my family." He looked down a the forest floor and kicked away a pile of leaves. "I got a lead that there was a world full of people like me. People with tails… But it just lead me here, a stupid sweaty jungle with monkeys."

Cloud shrugged, "So, no luck?" Zidane just shook his head.

"So, what's your story? Lookin' for a guy and some girl?" Zidane asked, pushing away a small branch from his face.

Cloud nodded slightly. "Yeah. I don't know the man. But, she… us… I… ugh…"

"Doesn't know yet?" Zidane guessed, relaxing his arms again behind his head.

Cloud just shrugged. "I get closer and closer and Yuffie has to act up at the last minute."

It was quiet between the two young men for a minute while they wondered around hopelessly in the jungle. Then, Zidane had a moment of recollection and started the conversation again.

"You think that Yuffie girl likes you?" he offered, waiting for Cloud's response. There was no response from him. Zidane pushed it a little farther. "I mean, she got pretty upset about this. Maybe after hearing the name of that girl, she couldn't bear to listen to you talk about someone she thinks is better, ya know?"

Cloud just stopped walking and stared at Zidane. "Yuffie… Likes me?"

Zidane let out a chuckle and smiled. "It's only a guess, man. Don't put your money on anything."

Cloud still pondered the idea more. "But… Why would she like me… I wouldn't… Couldn't… Want…"

Zidane just laughed harder. "You sound worse that Tarzan, Cloud! Jeez, haha. I said it's just a guess! For all we know, she may just be on the rag." Cloud let out an empathetic sigh and followed Zidane deeper into the jungle foliage.

Though everyone decided to travel deeper into the forest, Yuffie didn't quite think so hard as to really run away and just wanted get away from the situation in the tent. She sat in the familiar bamboo thicket as before, sitting on a large boulder curled into a tight ball, her shuriken latched onto her back.

"Stupid, stupid boys! Hmph!" Yuffie grumbled, rocking back and forth on the boulder. "Why did he have to go along making fun of me? If only he knew…" She uncurled her legs and stretched them out straight and pounded her forehead against her fist.

"No, you're stupid! He wouldn't think of you like that ever! Get a grip!" Yuffie retorted against herself. She just then sat quietly with her head hung low. "Cloud…"

Time passed, and still so sign of anyone. Yuffie slid down off her rock and removed her vest and hood combination and wrapped it up in a messy ball shape. She positioned it on the side of the boulder then rested her head on it, closing her almond shaped eyes.

"So…sleepy… damn… Cloud…" she mumbled to herself, letting her body go limp and her thoughts drift into the subconscious. Since her journey, she really had no time for sleep or much rest at all. Her overwhelmed body just needed to take a short rest before…

"Yuffie…" she heard a voice call out her name from a dark distance. "Yuffie." The voice again, reaching closer, a spec of light appearing before her. The white light grew, Yuffie feeling blinded when her name was called out once again. "Yuffie!"

"Wha-what? Huh?" she grumbled, squinting her eyes up into the brightness.

"Damn it, Yuffie, we thought we'd never find you!" a male's voice lectured disapprovingly. Yuffie still felt groggy and had a hard time opening her eyes from the daylight.

"Who—wha—" she mumbled again, beginning to rub away the sleep from her eyes.

"Hell-o?" another male's voice called out. "Wake-y, wake-y!"

Once Yuffie finished adjusting her eyes, before her were Cloud, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring down at her, and Zidane, who seemed to have the opposite, cheery deposition written all over his face, waving his hand in front of her face.

"I swear, Yuffie, next time you run off and do something stupid like that, I'll leave you behind!" Cloud said loudly. Yuffie brushed off her pillow shirt while sitting cross-legged on the earth of the bamboo thicket.

"Whatever, chocobo," Yuffie said in a saddened voice.

"Why the long face, girl?" Zidane chimed, still keeping a catlike smile across his face.

Yuffie just stared fiercely at the tailed young man with hateful eyes. "And you have the audacity to ask me what's wrong?! You crazy ape boy! You embarrass me in all those people and force Cloud to say mean stuff to me! On top of that, you're short and weird and I hate you! I hate you! Hate hate hate!" Yuffie kicked her feet around, stomping like a child throwing dirt around at the men.

"Oh my gawd, is she serious?" Zidane looked up at Cloud with concern. Cloud unfolded his arms and kneeled down at Yuffie's eye level.

"Yuffie," he said calmly, trying to force her to act the same. "Why do you all of a sudden care what everyone thinks of you" Her face reddened and she quickly turned her head away, not saying anything. Cloud touched her shoulder and continued, "What's going on with you?"

Yuffie yanked her body away from him and started yelling, "You! You idiot! Everything about you!"

Cloud eyes pressed together angrily. He grabbed both her arms and yanked her closer at him. "What did I ever do wrong?! I haven't done anything to you to make you hate me! What the hell is going on?!"

Yuffie tried fighting him off but Cloud's grip was a lot stronger than her. She looked up into his eyes and said loudly, "You dummy! You stupid bird brain, it's not what you did wrong! It's everything you're doing right! Get off me!" Yuffie began kicking him off her. But, Cloud was in such a state of shock, he let go of her hands and squatted on his backside at stared intensely in her dark almond shaped eyes.

"You mad because… Of what I'm doing right?" Cloud's voice was calm again plus signs of confusion.

Yuffie stopped fussing and replied, "Yeah! I can't take it anymore! And the worse thing is you like her! I don't stand a freakin' chance."

Zidane's eyes widened, it seemed his thoughts were true. However, Cloud didn't quite catch her drift.

"Stop speaking nonsense, you're being so weird, Yuffie," Cloud said back, standing himself back up on two feet.

Yuffie jumped back up as well and stomper her feet in frustration. "DENSE! You're so freakin' dense! Do I have to spell it out for you?! I like you dummy! L-I-K-E!"

Cloud stood frozen. Then, he turned his head to Zidane slowly in a robotic motion. Then turned to Yuffie, who now seemed at the brink of tears. Cloud had nothing to say to her face. What did she expect from him, forget everything's he's gone through and simply run off with a girl he's looked at being his sister his entire journey.

Cloud couldn't handle the pressure. He began to just walk away towards the camp, his sword hoisted on his back and dragging his feet along the dirt. Yuffie watched him turn his back from her as she started to sob, squatting back down on the dirt of the bamboo forest. Zidane stood in the middle, trying to figure out which way he'd go, either to follow Cloud back to camp and leave Yuffie by herself, or the opposite and stay with Yuffie who still hated his guts and let Cloud go alone.

"I-it wouldn't matter what happened…" Yuffie cried out loud, Zidane listening closely. "He'll always love her. I-I never stood a chance."

"Not to be rude," Zidane hesitantly began saying, but Yuffie never cut him off. "But, if you knew this, why didn't you prepare for disappointment?"

Yuffie looked up at the young man with teary eyes, one falling down her cheek and stopping to drip off her chin. "I don't know… I've never felt… Felt heartbreak…"

Zidane kneeled down to her and put his arm around her shoulder, gently, quickly waiting for her to sway him away. But, instead, she plopped her head closer to him and let the warm tears flow onto his shirt.

"Can I offer you some advice?" he added. She just whimpered softly. "Could you be settled with him just being happy? If he's found someone else, then can you just be happy for him?"

Yuffie slowly nodded her head. "B-but it's s-so hard," she sniffled, wiping away her tears. "I watched h-him in p-pain for s-so l-long. I-I j-just want h-him to be happy. H-he's been th-through so m-much."

"Did you think you could do that for him," he asked, rubbing the young ninja's back.

She nodded again. "I-in my head, I-I thought I-I could."

"And in reality?"

"He l-loves her."

Zidane just sighed and stood up, holding out his hands to her. Yuffie looked up, the same position Cloud was in when she first knocked herself over in Traverse Town before the duo embarked on their journey.

"Let's go back. I'm sure he's just as rattled as you are now," Zidane offered. Yuffie accepted his hand and pulled herself back up, then grabbed her hooded vest and zipped it back up on her body.

It was that moment she'd silently forgiven Zidane for giving her a hard time. The two figures walked back to the yellow tents in the main clearly, to only find sitting alone, knees to chin in deep thought on a crate near a dusty record player.

Zidane and Yuffie approach him. Cloud looked up wide-eyed at her, looking at her puffy face and bright red nose. A wave of guilt hit him as he jumped to his feet and began trying to make excuses.

"Look, Yuffie, I didn't mean—You know I—"

Yuffie held out her hand. Before, Yuffie was a child, but somehow, in the last few moments in the jungle, she had a face of maturity unlike anything Cloud had ever seen. "Hold on, before you saying anything, Cloud, I must be upfront."

It didn't matter what Cloud wanted to say, he was utterly speechless. "Cloud, I've had very strong feelings for you. Ever since we made it to Traverse Town. You seemed aloof, vacant. I wanted to so badly make you part of the new family we had built in that world. In my mind, I wanted to help you. Now, I know how." Yuffie stroked her hair, pulling it behind her ears. "Knowing the connection you have with Aerith, I can't ever fill that place." Now, Yuffie began to loosen up and become her emotional self, though Cloud still felt very tense.

"If it's not to much to ask, can you leave enough room for me? I still want to help you… Even if you only see me as a sister… I want to be near you… To help you… Please…" Yuffie stood completely stripped of her self, the guard her had so long built up had been shattered. Before Cloud was Yuffie at her rawest state.

Cloud nervously walked to her and stood only a foot or two away from where she was standing. "Yuffie, I've never not wanted you around. But, please, understand, I'll never feel full…alive… unless she's here."

Yuffie nodded and understood, letting out a heavy sigh. Cloud reached out, and grabbed her, surprising both her and Zidane, who had been still on looking.

"But, I've needed you too, all along. I don't think I'd make it this far," Cloud said quietly, holding the stiffened and shocked Yuffie. "Thank you."

Letting her go and holding her out Cloud offered a small smile and was returned as well by Yuffie.

"Yeah, you really know how to make a girl gag."

Not after too long, Clayton and Jane arrived back to the campsite, seeing Zidane, Cloud and Yuffie all having a rather pleasant group conversation.

"Oh, there you three are! Oh, goody goody! Yuffie, hello again dear!" Jane exclaimed happily, rushing to give her a hug. Yuffie awkwardly returned the favor.

"Any luck with the professor?" Cloud asked, who sat back on the crate near the record player.

"Funny enough, the young here was right," Clayton added, looking down on Zidane, who had hung himself upside down on the neighboring close line. "The professor was safe amongst the gorillas."

"Dear, then you nearly short at all them! Goodness, I swear, Clayton, there was no need to bring that gun of yours!" Jane jeered, waging her finger.

Clayton argued back, "It was for everyone's protection, Miss Porter!"

Jane just sighed and looked back to the sitting trio. "Well," she chuckled, "Father seemed to be doing well with them, so we felt Tarzan to watch over him. Well, how about then?"

"I think it's time for us to be going, though," Cloud responded.

"Why, already? Such a short visit, we've only just met!" Jane fussed, trying to suede them to stay longer.

"I'm sorry, but, we really must be on our way," Yuffie added, supporting Cloud, thought deep down, she really wanted to sat at least one more day.

"Well, I guess it can't be helped. Do come visit, will you again?" Jane asked, giving a eager face with her large brown eyes.

Cloud nodded. "We'll try out best."

Yuffie smiled largely, "Good luck with the gorillas!"

"Oh, thank you dear! Good luck to you all as well!" Jane cheered waving goodbye.

Cloud and Yuffie began to walk into the thicket towards the Gummi ship when Zidane started to follow them.

"Hey…uh, guys?" he asked, his voice in an awkward tone.

"Hm?" Cloud grunted.

"Mind if I tag along?" the tailed young man asked.

Yuffie looked at Cloud, while he stood and pondered for a moment. "That's right," he realized, "You're searching too, right?" Zidane nodded in approval. "What do you say Yuffie, one more?"

Yuffie cheered and replied, "Let's get this show on the rode.

Zidane let out a catlike smile and thanked them. "Onward!"

Cloud nodded and said, "Let's mosey."
