Use of the D word once again.
Thirty nine: Bonus chapter (Let's do plan B, Yuffie)
Yuffie, in Tifa's eyes, had always been a strong, independent woman. Tifa is a feisty one herself but Yuffie was three times more. Or maybe even more than that.
They had been bestfriends since Tifa moved to Midgar, and they instantly got along because of their matching personalities. Tifa had become a model unexpectedly, and coincidentally, Yuffie goes to fashion school to become a fashion designer herself.
But despite her fun but sometimes overbearing personality, she was not really making friends at her school, the snooty girls there were hating her very loud self and calls her barbaric with no manners, but she never really paid any attention to them, except when the situation took its turn, specially when it involves a certain raven haired, very good looking male model, who happened to be her boyfriend.
"Have you seen that picture of Vincent Valentine on the internet? He has a girlfriend!"
"Yeah, seriously? That girl looks familiar though."
"Yeah but she wore sunglasses all the time or she always hid her face with her hand."
And that moment, Yuffie happened to walk in the cafeteria, unaware of the gossiping trio from a nearvy table while wearing a look that says 'I don't give a damn about you and your permanently lifted eyebrow' that she always sported whenever she felt eyes on her anywhere.
"But somehow." Gossip girl number one said. "That hair," She pointed at Yuffie. "Looks the same."
"And the body type." Said gossip girl number two.
"Do you think...?" Gossip girl number three said, then they all looked at each other.
"Nah..." They all said at the same time.
"There's no way Vincent would date someone like her." Then they all laughed in that annoying, girly manner.
"So... I heard you're spreading news around that you're Vincent Valentine's girlfriend."
Kelsey Quinn, the most popular girl and top student for design school, along with her gang of snooty girls, stopped Yuffie on her tracks on her way to her next class. With her perfect long, shiny blond hair and doll face, every girl envied her and every guy wanted her.
"What?" Yuffie asked flatly with an annoyed face. She was not one to brag anything about herself. She was the daughter of the wealthiest man in Wutai, the girlfriend of Vincent Valentine, the best friend of Tifa Lockhart who happened to be engaged to the hottest man in the planet, Cloud Strife, she has partied with Zack Fair and Aerith Gainsburough, so on and so forth. So that statement of Kelsey deeply confused her. "The hell are you talking about plastic face?" She asked, Kelsey gasped with her mouth wide open.
"Who are you calling 'plastic face'?!"
"Who else am i talking to? Makes me wonder why you're on top." Yuffie said but not out of envy, she really wondered about that, her designs were not that great. "Well, if its on top of someone else's body, I wouldn't be surprised."
"What makes you think you can talk to her like that?!" Kelsey's red haired croonie yelled.
"I can talk to her like this because she deserves it more than anybody else because she's the disgusting 'Queen bee' that treats everyone like crap!" Another girl was about to retort but Yuffie held up her forefinger to shut her up. "And I called her plastic face because non of those," Yuffie pointed all over Kelseys face in a circular motion. "Are fuckin' real!"
"How dare you!" Another croonie said but Kelsey held up her hand.
"Don't waste your time and energy, I don't care what this pretentious trash says." Kelsey said with an eyebrow raised, Yuffie scoffed then looked away. "We'll just settle this at the end of term fashion show." Kelsey said while crossing her arms. Yuffie did her best not to widen her eyes, she succeeded.
"Fine, it's on then bitch." Yuffie said, crossing her arms as well.
"Yeah, don't even try because you'll lose no matter what." Kelsey with a fake smile.
"Well see about that, nose job."
"A fashion show?" Tifa asked on the phone with both eyebrows raised. "Wow, thats great!"
"I know, and I want you guys to watch if I will get in but you'll end up being mobbed by scream queens and crazy ass perverts who'll use the 'people kept pushing' line as an excuse to caress your breast."
"Alright." Tifa said, suddenly uncomfortable. "Hmmm, I want to watch too, we'll figure something out."
"Vincent said he wants to come."
"Alright, we'll go. But we have to be unrecognizable?"
"Something like that. Wear prostetics if you have to, maybe you can be my cool hiphop grandmother and Zack could be my uncle who just got out of prison for some drama."
With full determination and hard work, Yuffie ended up as part of the ten designers to showcase their works on the end of term show. Over the next few weeks, Yuffie was busy doing her collection for the show, she had her fittings with the male and female models she managed to collect by posting an advertisment about it, thankfully, some people were still willing to work with her despite all the nasty rumors surrounding her recently, about her being a liar and spreading stupid things about herself, but like always, she ignored them and just laughed it off, though sometimes she feels lonely in school but she still managed to shake it off, she has an awesome social life off campus anyways.
"I have one question..." Cloud, who was wearing black and shoulder length messy wig, a cap and some sunglasses told Zack. "Why the hell did you choose that ridiculous afro wig? And what's with that pathetic star shaped sunglasses that's too small for your face?!" He asked Zack, who started laughing while throwing his head back.
"So no one would notice me?" Zack said, very proud of himself.
"Are you sure about that?" Tifa asked as she looked around, everyone were turning their heads at the actor, contrary to his belief. Tifa wore a bob cut red wig with some sunglasses as well. She also wore a white fur scarf around her neck.
"So much for disguise. I don't even know why I'm here." Aerith commented lazily, who wore a long blond wig and some geeky glasses. Vincent on the other hand wore a long black wig which made him looking like a rockstar.
"Shhh... It's starting!" Tifa hissed at her weird looking group, they stood in the back, away from the crowd but it was enough for them to see the show.
"I don't understand! Where are my models?!" Yuffie yelled frantically as she clutched the side of her head.
"Hey liar, looking for them?" The dreaded voice of Kelsey was heard from behind her, and she was gesturing for her own models who happened to be the exact replica of Yuffie's models. The brunette's jaw drop.
"What...?"
"You got her good boys and girls." Kelsey said then everyone laughed out really loud to mock the brunette further. Yuffie felt her blood boil but kept her cool, she didn't want to see Kelsey satisfied by getting the reaction she wanted from Yuffie, she ended up walking away then she decided to grab her phone from her bag.
"WHAT?!" Tifa yelled near Cloud's ear making him wince while she talked on the phone with Yuffie. "That bitch! Wait, I'll you back." Tifa ended the call. "Godammit!"
"What's wrong?" Vincent asked.
"That girl Kelsey that Yuffie's been complaining about, the one that I told you guys about, stole her models, and now she doesn't have anyone to represent her clothes."
"That bitch!" Zack yelled with a look of absolute horror.
"That sucks for her." Aerith said calmly.
"How could she do that to my Yuffie?!" Vincent suddenly yelled with his voice cracking like he was on puberty. All of them stared at him like he has three heads, he was not a talkative one let alone express his feelings by whining like a little girl.
"Okay everyone, let's get plan B into action." Tifa said as she gestured for them to talk closer with a serious, determined face then she nodded once. Everyone else, except Aerith, nodded their heads with the same serious face, then Cloud shook his head rapidly when he was hit by a sudden realization.
"Wait, what's plan b?" He asked.
"We have a plan b?" Zack asked.
"We don't even have a plan A." Aerith said while she twirled a strand of her blond wig.
"No we don't, I just wanted to say that." Tifa said with the same serious face.
Kelsey's show was second to the last, her collection was praised and cheered at by everyone, and she was pretty smug about what she's done with Yuffie and she couldn't wait to laugh at the brunette's face once she was on backstage, she was sure that Yuffie was crying her eyes out in there.
But she didn't know what her and her childish plays had gotten herself into.
It was Yuffie's turn for the runway and when Kelsey expected a no show, the brunette was making her way from the backstage to the catwalk with a bright smile on her face. She held her mic up to her lips to introduce herself and her collection, now Kelsey and her croonies were looking up from down the catwalk where the other designers are staying after their show. When Yuffie walked back towards the backstage, music started playing and everyone got the shock of their lives when the male supermodel known as Cloud Strife emerged while wearing one of Yuffies men's wear, he started striding on the catwalk like he was floating and Kelsey and everyone else were speechless while the rest of the audience had already gone wild. Cloud posed on front before he turned around only for Tifa to appear next, the crowd was once again speechless when they saw another popular face appear while Cloud was already backstage, changing his for his next outfit.
Tifa fought the urge to smirk knowing that Kelsey was watching somewhere and kept herself professional on what she was doing. She posed on the end of the catwalk then turned around so Zack could enter the catwalk next, the audience was torn in screaming and fainting at the sudden appearance of all these famous people, and Kelsey and her gang were still petrified beyond belief. Aerith was next to appear, she walked gracefully on the catwalk with people calling her name, the last one to appear was Vincent and it suddenly fueled the rumors that Yuffie and Vincent were actually dating once show continued on in that order with everyone wearing Yuffie's collection, despite being short in the number of models, they managed to changed quickly without a problem, it was part of their job after all to be able to do that no matter how many layers of clothing they were required to wear.
"Thank you so much guys!" Yuffie was very happy with what happened, she was lucky her model friends were there, her show was saved and Kelsey just got served.
"I don't do free shows so you owe me, a lot." Aerith stated with an eyebrow raised.
"I'll do anything for you..." Yuffie expressed dreamily.
"Yuffie."
Speak of the devil.
Yuffie turned around with that fake, sweet but at the same smug smile at her face. There was Kelsey, eyeing Yuffie's group of models like everyone else on the backstage.
"Yes Kelsey?" Yuffie asked. Everyone from her group turned to look at the blond designer.
"So that's her." Zack whispered on Tifa's ear from behind. Cloud smacked his head away.
"Stop seducing my wife." He hissed.
"I don't need to seduce her because she's all over me." Zack whispered back. "And she's not your wife yet."
"Our wedding day's almost there so what's the difference porcupine boy?!" Cloud hissed.
"Seriously?!" Tifa hissed at the two.
"I just want to say..." Kelsey said then smiled, snapping the three of them back to reality. "Great show! I didn't know that you know them in person!" Kelsey laughed nervously. "How about you introduce us?" She said with that hopeful look as she gestured to her group. Yuffie smiled that same fake smile before she spoke.
"Sure... of course... I'd love to... But first..." Yuffie lifted her hand to flash the dirty finger that had everyone gasping. "Suck my dick." She told the Queen Bee who was wide mouth along with everyone else in her group. Tifa and Cloud snorted while Zack started laughing out loud, Aerith gave Yuffie a snooty but proud smile while Vincent wrapped his arms into Yuffie from behind with a huge smile on his face.
Everyone wanted to be her friend after that but she would just either tell them to suck it or shove it. At the end of the day, it was her win, even if she had to walk all over campus all alone.
