While looking through my old files on the computer, I found this, completely finished and yet I never put it up.

Oh well, here it is!

"This is boring!" Yuffie yelled. Silence met her statement. "I SAID, this is boring!"

"I heard you the first time Yuffie." Leon muttered, checking the plans to rebuild the bailey.

"And you didn't reply because…?"

"What was the point?"

"I can't believe society expects me to find one of you people!" Yuffie threw her hands in the air. "You know what would liven this place up?"

"I get the feeling you are about to tell me."

"A pet!" Leon's head shot up.

"Are you nuts?"

"According to you, yes. But why not!? A pet, that would be awesome!"

"Yuffie, read my lips: NO." Leon shook his head for emphasis. "No. Way."

"Just 'cause you had that bad experience with the dog biting your arse once." Yuffie shrugged. "Doesn't have to be a dog! It could be… A cat! Yeah, brilliant! Stealthy, sneaky-"

"Cid's allergic. As is Cloud."

"Well Cloud's not here!"

"Yuffie!"

"Soz." Yuffie scratched her chin. "A parrot!"

"No."

"Goldfish?"

"No."

"Hamster?"

"No."

"Guinea Pig?"

"No."

"Chinchilla?"

"No, no, no, no, no, and no Yuffie." Leon shook his head. "We don't have time to look after a pet. We HAVE to rebuild the town."

"What if I got a self-sufficient pet that no-one was allergic to?"

"Good luck with that." Leon rubbed out part of the plan. "But Yuffie?"

"Yeah?"

"You mustn't steal an animal."

"Do you have such a low opinion of me?"

"Yes."

"So," The Pet Shop owner frowned. "You want a pet that is self-sufficient, but not a dog, cat, parrot, goldfish, hamster, Guinea Pig, or a Chinchilla."

"That is correct." Yuffie nodded solemnly. "Got anything?"

"Well, I'm pleased to say all our animals could fit in at any home." The owner – Julie – smiled pleasantly.

"This isn't a home. This is a restoration committee."

"They'll fit in there as well." Julie smiled. "Now, here we have a rabbit."

"Hm." Yuffie looked at the rabbit. "He's… pretty quiet."

"Oh, you want a louder pet?"

"Mm." Yuffie looked around. "Got anything?"

"I'm sure one of ours pets will be compatible."

"HACKA!" A blue blob leapt off the ceiling, and landed in a sink full of soapy water, splashing it everywhere.

"…But not that one." Julie wiped a few bubbles off her face. "You'll have to excuse him. That's Stitch. He's not one of our pets, but he thinks-"

"OH!!" Yuffie squealed. "He's so cute!"

"Pardon?" Julie did a double take of the ninja.

"How brilliant are you?" Yuffie bent over and pulled Stitch out of the sink. "You are awesome! Where does he come from?"

"Oh." Julie was clearly thrown by this. "Well, he's the result of an alien experiment actually."

"Who'd experiment on him!?" Yuffie scowled, hugging Stitch tightly. "Tell me who, I'll kick their butt!"

"He arrived on Radiant Garden after it was freed from darkness. He helped the Keyblade master apparently." Julie snickered to herself. She highly doubted THAT particular rumour.

"Oh, I remember! He was shooting heartless with his little gun thing!" Yuffie's beam returned. "I'll take him!"

"WHAT?!"

"Look at him!" Yuffie held Stitch up.

"I am looking at him Yuffie. Hence my 'WHAT?!'"

"He's so sweet!"

"Yuffie, he's an alien!"

"A CUTE alien." Yuffie pouted. "He's none of the banned animals, and he's definitely self sufficient. Aren't you?"

"Ahhhhhh!" Stitch wriggled out of Yuffie's arms. He beamed at Leon and held up one arm. "Stitch."

"He's polite as well!" Yuffie grinned. "Well! Be polite back!"

"Huh…" Leon sighed. "Leon." He muttered shaking Stitch's arm, pleased that Cloud Strife was off fighting Sephiroth somewhere. If he had seen him, he would have never lived it down…

"Ohana!" Stitch beamed. "Ohana… means 'family'."

"Look at that! He's multilingual!" Yuffie beamed.

"Family means… No-one gets left behind." Stitch was quiet. "I have no family…"

"Oh…" Yuffie gave Leon a long pleading look. Leon sighed again, and had the distinct impression that saying no would end up in destruction being bombarded on Radiant Garden.

Still, Stitch creeped him out a bit, and he had a feeling others would agree with him.

Then again, Yuffie's 'All creation' hurt like a paintball in the head. And Stitch had very large, sweet eyes.

"……He can stay."

"YES!!!" Yuffie leapt up in the air. "You have Ohana now Stitch!"

"I have… family?"

"Yep!" Yuffie grinned, doing what she called her 'Victory Dance'.

Leon personally referred to it as the dance of the drunken moogle.

"Come on!" Yuffie ran out of the door. "Come meet everyone else Stitch!"

"… She's crazy." Stitch said. The blue alien smiled at Leon, before following Yuffie out of the door.

"Hm." Leon smiled after the little alien.

Maybe he and Stitch had more in common than he thought.

Stitch is cute!!

Look at him!! And he has his little gun! *Coos over Stitch*

Random I know, still, I hope you enjoyed it!

Peace out!
