Chapter 6

Aftermath

Yuffie couldn't wait for Tifa to come back so she could tell her about what happened. She was so excited that Vincent actually let her look at his hand without having to knock him out. She wondered why that one spot in particular was so sensitive. She wanted to ask him but thought he would just ignore her or try to pull away from her and she really didn't want that. She laughed out loud at the vision of him trying to disappear into the wall of the ship and the look in his eyes when she took hold of his arm. She giggled as she pushed into Cids room. It was dingy and reeked of cigarette smoke and grease, just like he did and it was a total mess. She tripped over a pair of work boots as she entered leaving the door open. She wanted to find something to get back at him for making fun of her hair earlier and was preparing for step two of her plan to get Vincent to like her. She searched Cids room for thirty minutes and found nothing she could use against him as blackmail and it didn't help that she couldn't really move anything either without the pilot noticing. Disappointed she walked out and closed the door. It was time for a prank and today it was Clouds turn. She went to the kitchen and filled a five gallon bucket with water and added ice cubes to keep it cold. Carrying the bucket she went into the storage room to grab some rope. She smiled as she envisioned Cloud getting soaked when he entered the weapons room. She grinned even harder when she realized she even had some blizzard materia on her. He and Cid were the only two that ever went into that room so if she didn't get Cloud she would defiantly get Cid. She glanced at the clock on the wall before going in, 11:30, she had to hurry and get this going before they returned. She walked in closing the door and quickly preparing her trap.

Vincent watched as Cloud and the others made their way back the ship carrying bags full of supplies and laughing. Cid was walking in front of them rather hastily and Vincent then understood why there were laughing. Cid was wearing red shorts with his boots and his snow white legs practically glowing in the sunlight. Now, even Vincent wondered what happened. Since he was leaning on the wall next to the door Cid would have to walk passed him in order to enter the ship.

Cid could feel Vincents red eyes staring at him. He climbed the stepladder and slowed his pace. He would have to say something although he really wanted to get out of Vincents piercing stare. Grumbling, Cid walked up to Vincent who looked down at his shorts then back to the pilots blue eyes brimming with annoyance.

"Not a damn word" he spat stalking past Vincent and into the Highwind going straight for his room before Yuffie could see him. Cloud and the others followed shortly after him. Everyone else walked past Vincent and in to the ship to deposit their items in their rooms. Cloud was still smiling about Cids ordeal and he stopped and looked up at Vincent.

"Bet you are wondering why he is in shorts"

"Yes, actually I am" Vincent answered.

"Funny story actually, we were standing next to the fountain outside the clothing store and some kids ran by knocking him over. He landed in the fountain. So he ran into the store only to find out they didn't carry any pants and he had to settle for shorts or look like he pissed his pants. It was great." Cloud finished laughing.

Handing Vincent his bag he wiped the tears from his eyes. Vincent took his bag and peered inside. Everything that was on the list was in there.

"Sorry I missed that one" he said quietly.

"It was funny" Cloud said walking into the Highwind headed for his room.

Vincent came in after him and took his bag to his room. He glanced into Tifas room as he passed and saw Tifa and Yuffie holding up clothes. He did happen to hear her talking about the claw incident earlier. Since everyone was back he walked into his room so he could finish loading his pack with the items Cloud picked up for him. He hoped that it wouldn't leave Tifas room as he really didn't want to have to shoot a particular over active ninja.

"You didn't" Tifa said looking at Yuffie with wide eyes.

"Yep, I just reached out and took it."

"He let you?"

"Well he did try to pull away and disappear into a wall, but I wouldn't let him. That's so cute!" Yuffie replied pointing to the dress Tifa held up.

"I am surprised he actually let you" Tifa said folding the dress.

"I guess this means step one is complete, but have you figured out what step two is?" Tifa asked handing Yuffie her bag of clothes.

"Did you get the chocolates and wine?" Yuffie held up a v-neck shirt.

If my boobs were huge this would look good. Yuffie thought to herself.

"Only the chocolates, you are too young for wine and besides you don't want to get him hammered."

But it could be fun to see. Tifa thought.

"That's true. I was just glad I didn't have to knock him out to see his arm. He did have a sensitive spot on his wrist though."

Yuffie smiled at the chocobo panties Tifa found her.

"I wonder why?" Tifa questioned sitting down on her bed.

"I wanted to ask but I figured I would wait."

"Maybe that's best for now. Here is everything else you wanted. I bought these for Cloud but he refused to wear them so they might look good on Vincent." Tifa said holding out a pair of silk pajama pants and a mischievous glint in her eye. Yuffies smile widened, she knew just how she was going to get him in them.
