A/N: Thank you Iris the Goddess of Rainbow for being the first to review my fanfic. That one simple review motivated me to do another chapter...so people they're not for making my head bigger they're for making me motivated. Please if you enjoy this story and would like to see more please review and i will continue...at first it was just for fun but now i want to know whether or not people like it.
And just for Iris i've added in a bit more Yuffentine to say thanks.
"I don't think it's wise to be going outside Garden with Rinoa so shortly after her attack," Vincent watched as Yuffie looked for her shoes
"She'll be fine…we're just going to the cinema…found it!" the bubbly ninja held up a stealth shoe
Vincent raised an eyebrow.
"What are you going to see?"
"Umm…Death of a Door Mouse…yeah I know it's sad but oh well,"
"Yeah that's something she wants to see," Vincent replied sarcastically his red eyes watching her every move
"Well it was her favourite book as a teen…which is kind of worrying but oh well,"
"Hmm…well I guess I'll be here by myself," Vincent stood and put both hands around Yuffie's waste lifting her up like a princess "…but oh well"
Yuffie giggled and kissed him quickly on the lips not letting it register in his mind as she dropped herself down.
Picking up her bag she did a double check in her mind but just as she was about to leave Vincent grabbed her wrist.
"Why do I feel like you're up to something?"
Yuffie shrugged and gave him her best innocent face not answering.
"It's just…your wearing your stealth shoes,"
"Its so if I need the toilet in the cinema I won't make any noise,"
"Well that's a load of bull; you know you wouldn't be heard even if you were walking on broken glass,"
"Awww, is Vinnie worried about me?" Yuffie grinned from ear-to-ear
Vincent turned abruptly and walked over to the bed.
"I always worry about you," he mumbled almost too quietly
Soon he heard the patter of feet and Yuffie jumping onto him from behind. Her arms circled his neck and her legs around his waist.
"I worry about you too…although I shouldn't really have to,"
She heard a small snort.
"Well, look after yourself anyway,"
"I will!" Yuffie squeezed tighter and could feel his head being pulled back
"Yuffie…" he was struggling for breath "please…get…off me!"
Yuffie gasped
"You think I'm fat!!"
"No…it's just…you're pulling my hair!"
Yuffie jumped off and turned around still playing her game. She brought on fake tears.
"NO…YOU THINK I'M TOO FAT TO BE CARRIED!"
"Yuffie…you know I don't think you're fat, you're perfect"
Yuffie smirked evilly and turned around turning it into a wide grin.
"Good!" she said cheerfully "glad you think so, now if you don't let me go I'll be late and miss the movie"
"Alright then, but don't be too long…there's not much activity without you around," his voice gave off a seductive edge
Yuffie giggled like a school girl and hid her face in embarrassment. To her shock she felt Vincent pull her close and kiss her deeply. They stood for ages as one.
"Oh dear…I'm not disturbing anything am I?"
They pulled away quickly and turned to the door seeing Rinoa leaning against the frame; a cheeky grin across her face.
"Um…nothing really," Yuffie bit her lip when she saw Vincent facing the wall
"Well come on we have to go if we're going to find the Queen of Cards," Rinoa winked
"Queen of Cards?" Vincent turned from his position and turned to face Rinoa "I thought you were going to the cinema,"
"Uh…we are…to see…Lullaby of Sin," Rinoa tried her best to play along
"I thought we were going to see Death of a Door Mouse," Yuffie widened her eyes trying to send her friend the hidden message beneath them
"Oh…well I thought that would be a bit too depressing in my current state of mind, Lullaby of Sin is just…scarily funny,"
"So what's the Queen of Cards got to do with it?" Vincent crossed his arms
"Uhhhhh…." Yuffie started
"Umm…" Rinoa looked down to her watch "Oh dear look at the time we're going to miss the trailers and you all know I love watching the hot dog dance with pretzel. And that cute little chicobo dressed as an usher….so kawaii!"
"Yeah! Exactly…come on Rinny-Nee!"
Quickly grabbing her hand Yuffie pulled Rinoa out of the room and with a few words of farewell they left a confused Vincent standing alone.
Shaking his head he sat on the bed and picked up a 'Weapons Monthly' magazine. Flicking through it he couldn't keep the nagging feeling that something was amiss. Making him jump slightly but not letting it show his heart flew into his throat as Squall arrived at the door panting and pushing it open with a bang.
"Have they left yet?" he said between breaths
"Yeah about five minutes ago, they were going to miss the movie otherwise,"
"Movie? They were going to find the Queen of Cards to get tips for the tournament"
For a few seconds there was nothing but the sound of the clock ticking.
"I knew they were up to something!" they cried in unison
"What's going on?!" Squall slowly moved his hand to his gunblade as an automatic reaction
"Don't ask me I'm as clueless as you are,"
"Wait…I know where they're heading…follow me!" Running out of the room Squall didn't stop for the other man's reaction.
Gathering his bearings Vincent quickly threw open a gun case and pulled out three weapons, Cerberus, Griffon and Hydra. Then as he ran down the hallway it took no time at all to catch up with Squall.
"Where're we heading?!" he yelled hoping to get a straight answer
"Cid's ship, last night I over heard Rinoa on the phone to Yuffie and well…"
He told him all about what he'd heard the night before and how Rinoa defended each case he thrust at her.

"Oh Hyne it's so dark in here," Rinoa held onto Yuffie's arm tightly
"Don't worry, we're almost there,"
"How did you even get a key to this place?"
"I stole it from Cid when he wasn't looking,"
"Yuffie! How could you?!"
"Easy…it's part of a ninja's job,"
Rinoa rolled her eyes glad it was too dark for her friend to see.
"Here we are!" Pulling a sheet away Yuffie revealed a white hover bike…easily built for two "Just looking at it I feel sick,"
The sorceress laughed and climbed onto the bike taking hold of the handles.
"Hey, how come you get to drive it?"
"Because if you throw up we'll fall to our deaths,"
"Good point…all aboard!" Yuffie climbed on the seat behind Rinoa and put her arms around her waist. She giggled, "No wonder there were rumours about us,"
"Believe me…I bet there still are!"
Both girls shared a giggle before the conversation turned heavy.
"Ok Yuffie, this is it. Today's the day we fly or fall…figuratively speaking" she looked down at the bike "…I hope. Who knows if we'll make it out ok, but I'm gonna teach you a trick that we used during time compression…think of a place where your heart lies most,"
"Huh? How does that help?"
"If you think of the place which makes you happiest then your whole body will be overjoyed and you can feel unstoppable,"
"That sounds like something out of a really cheesy movie,"
"Blame Laguna,"
Once again they laughed
"I still don't believe that President Laguna is Squall's dad!" Yuffie smiled
"Yeah, well we'll talked about that later but for now we have to be totally focused…seriously Yuffie, you help me pull this off and I'll buy you all the materia you could ever want!"
"Ok…I'm focused!"
"Good, right…now how do I turn this on?" She searched for any clues "Ah! Here we go…WHOA!"

"So, if they're not using the hover bikes to find the Queen of Cards then why do they need it?" Vincent was tired of playing the guessing game
"Hell if I know. Why would she do this…she can be so stupid at times!"
"Yuffie or Rinoa?"
"Rinoa!"
"Good! They've always been like this; every time they were together they couldn't stop themselves getting into trouble,"
They arrived at the ship and started to walk up the lowered platform. They stopped half-way catching their breaths.
"Well, they should grow up! This isn't some school girl game this is life or death…Rinoa of all people should know what could happen!"
"Hey! Some people may grow up but they can never change. If you know what someone's like then you shouldn't judge them or yell at them as soon as they do something stupid!"
"Look! We don't need to be arguing right now and to be honest I'm sick of yell-"
"Wait…" Vincent held up his hand "Do you hear that?"
Both men stood silently listening to the strange noise, it came from inside the airship and each second it grew louder and louder.
"It sounds like a…" Squall squinted his eyes closely
"HOVERBIKE!"
Squall was pushed to the ground quickly by Vincent as a large white hover bike came roaring out of the airship, on board a screaming Yuffie and Rinoa.
"I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FLY IT!!" Squall heard Rinoa scream
"THE LEFT BUTTON…I SAID THE LEFT ONE!" Vincent looked up to Yuffie waving one hand frantically in the air
"Yuffie!"
"Rinoa!"
The two men watched helplessly as they watch the two girls fly unstably through the air. Soon they heard Rinoa yell.
"OH THAT BUTTON!"
Without a second warning the bike let out two blasts of fire from the back and shot off into the distance.
Squall yelled angrily and punched the air. Turning around to a gob-smacked Vincent he grabbed his cape and pulled him inside the Shera.
"Tell me how to drive this thing!"
"Why?"
"Are you stupid? We're going after them!"
