When they finally got back to Seventh Heaven, after their long day of shopping, Tifa was too tired to cook. "What do you guys want?" she asked everyone.

Yuffie sighed, "I made sushi yesterday."

Everyone except Vincent and Yuffie yelled at once. "NO!"

Yuffie shrugged and went to get herself some anyways. Tifa noticed Vincent's eyes following her as she left and smiled a little. "How about I make sandwiches?"

Everyone nodded their consent then Tifa went into the kitchen where Yuffie was already getting her sushi out of the fridge. "I think Vincent wanted some of that too, Yuf." Tifa said, looking down at the counter where she was slicing left over roast beef.

Yuffie smiled a little. "Okay. I'll bring him some." She got out another plate and delicately arranged onigiri, sashimi, and some other wutainese sushi on it. Then, she quickly made some tea. Taking the plates she carried them into the bar and set one in front of Vincent. Then she ran back in and brought out two small cups and her little tea pot full of ocha. Then she sat down and began to eat, using hasshi instead of a fork. Cid watched for a minute, shivered and turned away. Everyone else was pointedly looking away from her. Everyone except Vincent he stared at her for quite a long time, then he finally began to eat.

Tifa came out a few minutes later with a tray full of big sandwiches and set it on the counter along with lettuce and mustard and even some leftover gravy. Yuffie looked at the sandwiches and blanched. How could anyone eat that much? Soon everyone was eating and talking and laughing. And generally just enjoying the moment. Yuffie stayed quietly eating, thinking about her present for Vincent and whether or not he would like it. Vincent finished eating and startled Yuffie by standing up. She looked up to see him standing next to her. He nodded to her in what she thought must have been thanks. She smiled.

After they had all cleaned up they went into the living room and everyone helped put the decorations on the tree. Yuffie even dragged Vincent's sorry butt out of his room to help. When they were done they looked at it in slight awe. Tifa hadn't had a Christmas tree in years and had gone a little over the top with her decorating. There were lights and mistletoe in every doorway. They all looked at the tree.

"And now for the finishing touch!" she held up the gold star. Vincent watched her from his corner and smiled just a tiny bit at her childishness. Yuffie looked at Marlene, who had never seen a Christmas tree in her life. "Do you want to put it on Marlene?"

Marlene frowned. "I can't reach!" Yuffie winked and handed her the star. Then suddenly Marlene could reach. Barret was lifting her up to the top. She giggled and placed the star precariously on the tree. It tipped slightly to the side, so she pouted slightly and tried to fix it, but no matter what she did it stayed lopsided.

Barret laughed. "That's okay, baby." He said, setting down his adoptive daughter. "It's just a lopsided, like our family."

Marlene smiled at her dad, even though she had no clue what he was talking about. Then everyone rushed of to wrap presents. Vincent went upstairs to his room, to sleep.

Halfway up the stairs he ran into Tifa, who was running to her room with a big tube of wrapping paper. "Oops! Sorry, Vincent!" she turned to look at him. "So, did you get anything for Yuffie?" she whispered.

Vincent's right eyebrow went up a tiny bit in a show of extreme surprise. "Should I have?"

Tifa smirked a little. "Well, she sold all of her materia to get you something, so I thought you must be getting her something, too."

Vincent's eyebrow rose even more as he went to his room, contemplating what Tifa had said. He looked around, trying to decide what he should get her. He knew how much Yuffie loved her materia, and that it was worth quite a lot of Gil. He wondered why she would spend that much of her money on him. He decided he would have to get her something really good. Then he sighed. He couldn't think with all the squealing and yelling around the house. He just lay there, waiting for everyone to go to sleep. He would find her something tomorrow.

So… Um. Sorry about how short this is, but I though that was a good place to leave off. We're gonna have a small contest! In your reviews leave what you want Vincent to get for Yuffie, and if I pick yours you will get a special present... or I might just mention you. Either way, leave your votes!
