A/N: I was trying my best to update this so I could wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I'm glad I'm able to. Anyways, the question of the seamstress remains unanswered in this chapter, but she will be revealed in the next one! Although everyone got it right this round anywhoo. :) Here's another fun thing I threw in: there's someone else with a fairy tale story going on… Who is it and what tale are they living? Cookies made by Yuffie for everyone who guess right! Well, enjoy! And thanks for reading!

Lord Makura: Heh heh, if he is, I wonder what he'll do? And Cid was talking about such important things about the Valentine family, but she was asleep so we'll never know! Pooh on you Yuffie!

Moonstarlight: :) Yay for you! And like always, thanks for reviewing!

Thunderstorm101: Hehehe, maybe it's a mixture of both? We'll see how the RenoxYuffie situation turns out. And you stand correct, but lol, I don't think that's scary.

Vampyric Ninja: Drama is always fun, in fiction of course:)

x Pinky xXx Swear x: Lol on the gun-frog idea. Yes she is from FVII, but I might have some other characters from other games make cameos if need be.

champagnesupernova72: Thanks a bunch! I know Yuffie is so mean, but if you read the original "Frog Prince" you'll find that princess pretty mean too. She even throws the frog at a wall! O.o But Yuffie will not be doing any hostile activities with Vincent in this story. She's pretty much past the anger part.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Yuffie: I own it all, Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk… Even you, vampire-boy!

Vincent: ...

The long awaited guest, made her way out of the carriage that had carried her here, with some help from a young man with oddly styled blond-hair. The princess thought it actually resembled one of the yellow featured chocobos tied to the coach.

"And I thought your hair was something," she whispered to Reno. He gave her a bedazzled expression in return, and ran his fingers through his strawberry locks.

"It's still sexy though, right?" he asked, a charming smile on his face. Yuffie gave him a small amused giggle.

"You're so stupid sometimes."

Vincent, high above, was watching the whole greeting process draw itself out. But one thing his mind was set on is why a guard and princess would stand so close together. The small frog couldn't put a finger on the feeling he was having right now.

Chapter Five: Of Love and Marriage

-Sometimes the two go hand and hand, but not always-

This guest had to be a little older than the Wutai heiress, but her physique was that of a woman twice her age. She had long chocolate colored hair; cinnamon colored eyes, and wore a dress of the same color. Her status as royalty was shown by a sparkling tiara resting on top of her head. Yet, unrepentantly, another figure appeared from the carriage as well. This one looked about the same age, her hair various shades of auburn, and striking emerald eyes; her clothes were not lavish, but they certainly weren't peasant like. Following behind her was a small boy, perhaps seven or eight years old with messy coffee colored hair sleepily rubbing his eyes.

"Tifa!" Yuffie called out, hugging the girl tightly when she reached them. "Gawd, I'd thought you'd never show up."

"Oh Yuffie, it's so good to see you again!" she said returning the embrace. When the two pulled apart, Princess Tifa examined her friend for a minute before adding, "Hey, I think you grew a little taller!" The raven haired girl stuck her tongue out.

"My Lady Tifa, so glad to have you with us again," Reno greeted, standing behind Yuffie for some sort of protection.

"Ah…Reno. I see that your wound from last time healed up quite nicely." The redhead felt the eye she hit last year twitch in response. Yuffie snickered at the situation, and then peered behind Tifa approaching.

"Hey who are these guys?"

"Where are my manners? Everyone, this is Princess Yuffie of Wutai. This here is Aerith, this is Cloud, my new guard, and this little one is Denzel… he was caught stealing from the coach during our journey." The small princess raised an eyebrow looking over the young boy, her look saying 'Don't you dare try stealing anything from here.' Denzel glared back in rebellion.

"Ah, it's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful gal as your self, yo," Reno said, placing a small kiss on Aerith's hand. He was immediately swatted away by Tifa's hand.

"And this is Reno. He's my personal guard." Yuffie introduced.

"I'll have you know she's a taken woman." The dark ruby eyed princess warned.

"It's very nice to meet you, your Highness," the green-eyed woman spoke, turning her attention to Yuffie.

"Ditto! Um… why'd you bring her here? She isn't a servant?"

"Remember when Zack went crazy trying to find his so called 'sole-mate'?"

"Yeah."

"Well, she's the solution."

"……I see. You must have some weird sized feet."

"Oh, you know Prince Zack?" Aerith asked.

"Everyone knows Zack…" Yuffie and Tifa said at the same time.

"But why is she with you?"

The long haired princess sighed deeply. "It's a long story." Aerith gave the girl a gentle rub on her back. "Anyway, invite us in already!" The small group went inside, Reno leading the way, tugging along some of the guest's luggage.

"Soooo, you must new," Yuffie poked at the blonde-haired guard, "What happened to Barret?"

"I decided that he should spend more time with his daughter, since he's always with me." Princess Tifa explained.

"Hmmmm, hey you're Cloud right?" He nodded in response. "So you're THAT infamous Cloud." Yuffie said, amusement in her voice, looking at Tifa, who tensed up when she asked. "Hiya Cloud!" The princess began laughing quite hard afterwards.

The chocobo haired man cocked an eyebrow at the dark-eyed girl, who was amazingly entertained at his presence.

"Clouuuuuuuddddd!" Yuffie sang, receiving irritated glances from Tifa, and confused ones from everyone else.

"May I ask what her Highness finds so funny?" he curiously questioned.

"Nothing, really, it's nothing" she replied, not sounding convincing at all. They reached Yuffie's chambers, and the two guards were dismissed, for some girl-talk, yet Tifa insisted that Denzel come along with her. "Reno, do show Cloud the room he will be staying in? Barret found it quite comfortable in the past, so hopefully you'll like it too."

"Sure." The redhead nodded, taking the blond to their quarters. As they were walking along Reno thought it would be best to make conversation. "So, what cha think of Tifa?"

"Her majesty is…. quite extraordinary."

"Extraordinary, huh? You got the hots for her?" Cloud froze on the spot, while Reno burst into laughter.

"I…I…." he began stuttering, his face getting redder by the minute.

"I was just joking, yo! She's gotta a lot of assets to offer, if ya know what I mean." The other guard's eye twitched in response. "But for someone like that, you'd never guess she had a nasty left hook."

Meanwhile, the fore mentioned took no time into scolding her young friend.

"Yuffie, must you embarrass me like that?" Tifa steamed.

"Look, I'm sorry; it's just that I finally get to meet this Cloud of yours. Seems like you really have the heart for those who steal, don't cha?" Yuffie giggled at the thought.

"I thought something was peculiar about you two," Aerith said thoughtfully.

Denzel, already bored of such nonsense, lingered out to the balcony.

"Well, I have to admit, he is hot! Aww, to think that Tifa's been checking out her favorite servant!"

"Oh please Yuffie, like you can talk. As least I have enough dignity to not ogle at his backside."

"Hehehehe, no need to blow a casket there. Besides you know very well that there is nothing between us. But he is nice eye-candy."

At this moment, Aerith found the whole situation quite hilarious, and began giggling away. The two stopped and just stared at her.

"Aerith, why are you laughing?" the long haired princess asked.

"You two are so cute! Bickering over such things makes me realize that girls are always girls, no matter what their status."

"I guess so? Oh yeah, I was meaning to ask you about those shoes. Wouldn't they hurt?"

"Not to me… but I guess it hurt quite a bit for other girls. I'm still surprised that Zack would go through all that trouble for me! I suppose that's just another reason I love him so."

"How nice it is to marry for love…" Tifa softy added with a hint of sadness in her wine eyes. "A prince has almost no difficulty choosing his bride, but to be a princess, everyone just worries about what would be best for the kingdom."

"Your father still bothering ya, huh?"

"He wants me to marry Rufus Shinra."

"Oh hey, they're the only kingdom bigger than Wutai!" the heiress spoke, remembering one of the very little things she learned in Cid's lectures. "So why not? I hear he's a good looking catch."

"Good looking he is, but he's all business. Everything he says just sounds like a company transaction. Not to mention he is the most self-centered person I have ever met." She huffed in response. "I know father is looking for the best interest of the kingdom and myself financially, but I still don't understand why it is a princess can only marry someone of royal blood. Or more like a prince in general."

"Lady Yuffie, has your father not pressured you on the idea of marriage yet?" the braided girl asked.

"Uh… um… see..."

"She's lucky," the other princess interrupted, "Wutai's marriage laws for a princess are different. Yuffie can marry whoever she desires. By the way, have you found "Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome" yet?"

Just then, Denzel came back from the veranda, holding the ever so small Vincent in his hands. Lifting him up to eye level, he said to the three ladies, "Look what I found outside! It's a talking frog! Isn't he cool?"

Aerith giggled at the boy's fascination, and Tifa held a skeptical expression.

"Well," Yuffie began, fiddling her thumbs, "He is….dark." Everyone in the room simply gazed at the princess for an explanation.
