Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy VII, though I would gladly invite the cast to dinner.

A/N The name is Valentine, xXxValentinexXx. All right enough of the funny business; it's time to get serious. After all the matter at hand is of a most serious nature, it's just 10 away from the big 100. So we need to make the most of our last 10. So let's welcome back Lucrecia Crescent and Turk Vincent!

Lucrecia walked through Nibelheim on Vincent's arm, her head gently against his shoulder. "I feel like we forgot something…"

"Well today is our one year anniversary of coming to Nibelheim, and we gave everyone a present for it," Vincent replied smiling at her.

She nodded before looking apologetic, "well not everyone… I forgot Hojo's gift."

"Hmm, how about a nice watch, the man is so retentive about punctuality it seems like a perfect present," the Turk laughed.

She cuffed him in the head, "be nice, I was thinking more like a belt since he seems like he could use one the way he likes baggy pants so much."

He winced but then gave her a playfully impish look, "and you call me mean."

They walked into the local clothing store and bought a nice leather belt, the buckle was oddly dense though. As they left the store with the new belt, Vincent held up the buckle to admire it, however as they passed near a light post the buckle leaped towards it and stuck to it. Vincent was pulled to the pole along with Lucrecia, "whoa!"

"It would seem this is no ordinary belt," Lucrecia laughed watching Vincent trying to free the article of clothing from the pole. He grunted and put both of his feet on the pole finally pulling the belt off but falling flat on the ground.

Lucrecia helped him stand up and they made their way back to the Manor being sure to keep the belt away from all vaguely metallic objects. They put it in a box and gift-wrapped it before heading to the kitchen and handing the present to Hojo. "Here, happy one year anniversary of our new project!" Lucrecia smiled at him

Hojo opened the wrapping paper and box and pulled out the belt glaring at the pair, "are you two implying something?!" He screeched.

"No nothing, we just thought it suited you," Lucrecia replied slightly taken aback.

"Told you we shoulda gone with the watch," Vincent muttered.

Hojo nevertheless looped the belt on and stood up, "how do I look?"

"Fine," Vincent commented casually just waiting for the opportune moment. As soon as Vincent turned around the belt picked up on his wristwatch's metal and started to twitch after Vincent and Lucrecia as they left. They walked down the hall; Hojo was shocked to find himself forcibly following them, "wait stop!"

Vincent and Lucrecia continued on to the entrance to the underground area, Vincent reached up his hands stretching as they passed through the door. Hojo was jerked upwards as the belt tracked the magnetic pull and he was slammed into the lip of the stonewall. His nose was forced back into his skull and his skull was impacted in about six inches and he fell to the ground dead.
