2. Her First Steps

"Aerith, please tell me about my first steps as a baby," Yuffie cried.

She was in the Green Room with Aerith and "Leon."

Yuffie could still remember that story. Aerith told her about if often enough, especially when Yuffie said that Squall never cared about her.

"Very well, then," Aerith replied, before beginning with the story.

At that time, Aerith, Squall and Cloud had visited the Kisaragi's. Little Yuffie had suddenly started to walk from her dad to Squall's direction, taking shaky steps. Why she had chosen Squall over Cloud and Aerith, she didn't know. Maybe she had liked him back then, too. Aerith said she would never forget how happy Squall had been with that. When Yuffie had come halfway, though, she had lost her balance, but Squall had jumped forward, catching her in his arms.

According to Aerith, Yuffie had giggled, before kissing his cheek and hugging him. Squall hadn't said anything, but he had only wiped his face clean. However, Aerith hadn't missed the smile on his lips back then...

"Hey Squall…what's with the smile?" Yuffie asked, noticing this wonder.

Suddenly, the young man's smile disappeared.

He glared in response, adding, "It's Leon, and I'm not smiling."
