Disclaimer: I realize I haven't done this in previous chapters, but I had better do it. Final Fantasy is owned by some Japanese dudes, and not me. In conclusion, the Japanese are the rich ones, not me.

Chewie-2006: I'm back. Sorry about the delay, but I fell down this hole into this dimension where I had to fight off demons, leprechauns, and wiggers. Then to get home…ah hell, I'll just level with you. I've been pretty busy, with work and whatnot, so I've been working on this chapter in small bursts. Don't worry though, the boss said I won't have to work quite so much anymore so I'll be updating more often.. Here's the new chapter, please enjoy.

oooooooooooooooooo

"Yuffie it's time to get up!"

Yuffie could hear her mother yelling from downstairs. She slowly opened her eyes and realized that it was Monday morning.

She slowly crawled out of bed and went over to her stereo and turned it on. Beat Your Heart Out by The Distillers blasted from the speakers. She needed something fast and loud to keep her awake.

Then she remembered Reno and she was completely awake. She couldn't wait to see him again.

He had called her yesterday. They talked for about 3 hours until Yuffies' mom was yelling at her to get off the phone. Even then it still took her about 20 minutes to get actually say goodbye and hang up.

She quickly showered and got dressed. When she got downstairs her mother had already put out a bowl of Fruit Loops for her.

It never fails, she always has something ready

This was true, every morning before she left for work Yuffie's mom would have some form of breakfast on the table, whether it be eggs, cereal, or toast.

As she sat and ate her cereal Yuffie kept seeing images of Reno in her head. She had never been crazy about a boy like this before.

In fact, back home most the boys were all inconsiderate idiots who were only after girls for sex. Reno seemed different though, she was sure he was different.

As she finished her cereal the door bell rang. She went to answer.

Reno was outside waiting for her.

"Reno!" she said excitedly.

"I thought I'd come and walk you to school"

"What a gentleman you are." she said as she wrapped her arms around him to give him a hug.

This time not only did Reno hug her. He gave her a kiss on the lips. Yuffie felt her body go numb. To her the kiss on the cheek last Friday was nothing compared to this.

"Well, shouldn't we be on our way?" he asked her.

"Yea I guess so,"

He took her hand in his and together they started walking to school.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"I'm coming, just a freaking second!" Vincent was screaming. Cloud was outside continuously ringing the door bell.

"Bye mom!" he yelled as opened the door.

"Bye Vincent!" she yelled back.

"Hey," Cloud said as Vincent stepped out side. "What took you so long?"

Vincent just gave him a look. He knew Cloud was making a joke about him ringing the doorbell.

"Oh cheer up Vinny." Cloud said slapping him on the back.

"What the hell are you so happy about?"

"Guess who's got a hot girlfriend?"

Great, he's gotten a big head now.

"I'm guessing you." Vincent replied.

"Correct you are." Cloud said. "Now all we got to do is find you a hot girl to go out with."

"Yeah right." Vincent said with very little enthusiasm. The last thing he needed was Cloud running around trying to get him a girlfriend.

"Oh c'mon, you should go and talk to your lunchroom lover today."

"I don't think so."

"Fine then, but just remember, while I got my hot girlfriend your going to be left sitting there all by your lonesome.

Vincent was starting to get irritated. Cloud had never been this big headed before.

"Just don't be stupid and screw it up." Vincent told him.

"Oh I won't," Cloud said. "I'm not stupid enough to lose someone like her."

I wouldn't put it past you to be that stupid.

"Whatever, just be careful." Vincent told him.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"How long to you think it will take him today?" Cid asked Barret.

The bell for first hour had rung, and as usual Mr. Palmer was nowhere to be seen. It was getting later and later everyday. The last time they had class he was almost twenty minutes late.

"I'd put my money on twenty-five minutes today." Barret said.

"If we're lucky he won't come at all, he did that a couple time last year." Dyne said.

Everyone hoped that would be the case. Fifteen minutes passed and he still hadn't come to class. At this point almost everyone was out of their seat and messing around.

Cid had snatched some crazy glue out of a cabinet and was gluing everything on Palmer's desk to the desk.

"Ha, the fat turd is so stupid that he won't have any idea what the hell is wrong." Cid was saying to no in particular.

"Just don't glue yourself to the desk." Cid heard a female voice from behind him.

Cid turned to see one of the three girls who were in the class. Cid didn't know her name, or even what grade, he thought she was sophomore. He wasn't even sure what her name is. He did notice she was really pretty though, she was pretty short and had brown hair that was pulled back into a pony tail. She had a smile on her face too.

"So are you feeling better today?"

"Um, I guess." Cid said kind of confused. Did I meet her at the party when I was drunk? "I don't want to sound rude or anything, but who are you."

"Oh, you probably don't remember me." the girl said. "I'm Shera; I was the one who held your head Saturday night when you were puking. You ran out of the house and fell over; you could hardly get into a position to puke so I helped you out a little."

"Oh, that was you?" All this time I thought it was Barret. "I guess I should say thank you."

"No need, I just didn't want you to choke on your own vomit or anything."

"Well, I'm going to say it anyway. Thank You."

"You're welcome then."

At about that time Mr. Palmer finally entered and everyone quickly scrambled to get to their seats.

"Well, talk to you later." Shera said before she ran back to her table with the other girls.

"I think she likes you." Dyne told Cid as soon as he sat down.

'Nah, she's probably just real friendly."

"Alright, but I bet it's the other way."

The thought had actually never crossed Cid's mind. He supposed it was a possibility.

"Hey-hey class," Palmer said as if he hadn't even noticed everyone had quickly scrambled back to their seats. "Today you guys are going to start working on whatever you chose as your first project."

Palmer went to grab a coffee mug off his desk. When he tried to lift it off the desk he couldn't budge it. Then when he tried to let go he couldn't even do that.

'Hey-hey, what's going on here?'" Palmer said, he actually almost sounded as if he were scared.

Everyone just started laughing uncontrollably.

"I knew the fat turd wouldn't know what hit him." Cid told the people around him. He was obviously very proud of his accomplishment.

He also had a feeling they wouldn't be getting to their projects today.

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Aeris was slowly stumbling to the physical science room. She hadn't gotten a lot of sleep the night before. Tifa called her up late at night. She was so excited, she had to tell someone about her and Cloud and she just couldn't wait until Monday.

Aeris had been so tired she could have really cared less, but she at least pretended to care.

When she got into the physical science room she started to head to her seat beside Tifa, but noticed it was already occupied by Cloud. She looked around for another seat and saw the only open one was where Cloud usually sat. It was in the back between Red and the kid she usually saw hanging with Cloud. She believed his name was Vincent.

She went back there and sat down.

"Hello." she said to Red and Vincent.

"Hello." Red said.

"Hello." Vincent said.

"Your friend stole my spot, so I'm occupying his." Aeris told the two of them.

"That's fine by me." Vincent said. "This way I get away from him for a while and I don't have to listen to him gloat."

"Oh, so he's one of those people?' Aeris asked.

"Yep, always has been."

"I see, I hope Tifa doesn't get sick of him to fast because of that."

"I warned him not to do anything stupid, but he didn't listen."

"You think he might."

"I wouldn't put it past him."

Aeris pondered on this for a moment, is it possible that she's blinded by his looks so she doesn't realize his stupidity. Yea, that was probably right..

She decided not to dwell on it to much, it was Tifa's situation to handle, not hers. Besides if she went how told her that he was an idiot she wouldn't listen anyway.

The ball rang and Mr. Hojo entered the room.

"Good morning class," he said sounding scarily cheerful as usual. "For what we're doing today I'm going to need you all to break into groups of two. Due to the number of people in here, there will be one group of three.

Aeris didn't know who she would go with. Tifa was obviously going to go with Cloud.

"Would you like to be with us? We can be the group of three." Vincent asked her.

"Sure." Aeris said. She was glad they wanted to go with her. She felt like she was actually making some more friends.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Is this supposed to be lasagna?" Tifa asked poking at the strange substance that was sitting on her tray.

"I don't know but it looks like puke and snot to me." Cloud told her.

Tifa laughed at this, no matter what it was, Cloud seemed to have a sense of humor about everything.

Cloud had come and joined her table for lunch. She was kind of disappointed though; Aeris had left to sit with Cloud's friend Vincent and the dog thingy.

"Why don't you have your boyfriends come sit with us too?" Tifa asked Elena and Yuffie.

"Tseng thinks the male hall monitors should all sit with each other." Elena said. "Don't ask why, because I honestly don't know."

"I got it!" Cloud said happily all of a sudden. "The lasagna is really bile and diarrhea."

'That's disgusting!" all three girls said in unison. They couldn't help but laugh at it though. It was actually kind of funny.

Tifa was really liking this boy more and more.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"I think it's rotten pudding." Red said to Vincent and Aeris. He was sniffing the strange substance that was supposed to be lasagna sitting on his lunch tray.

"Nah, I think it's something out of the dumpster behind the school." Aeris said.

"That could be it to." Red said. He was happy he had managed to make another friend while here. He didn't figure he would make any friends before. Now he had already managed to make a couple of them.

He still got the weird looks though, and a lot of people would still stop and look and point at him. He was getting used to it though, he had figured out most humans were afraid of what they didn't understand.

These guys seemed to be different though, they didn't seem to care that he looked like a dog, they just treated him like a regular person.

"Did you actually eat that?" Red heard Aeris ask.

Red looked up and saw that Aeris was looking at Vincent's tray, which was empty. He had actually eaten the food.

"I couldn't help it." Vincent said. "It tasted nasty, but I was hungry."

Red and Aeris just laughed at this. Vincent then excused himself and went to dump his tray.

"He's a quiet one." Aeris said.

"Yea, but so am I." Red said.

"I think we all are." Aeris said.

Red did have to agree with this. They weren't really ever noticed, with the exception of Red, but he didn't really try to draw attention to himself.

Although it was nasty, he started to eat the stuff on his plate because he was hungry.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I can't believe I'm doing this.

Vincent decided he was going to talk to her. He was actually going to talk to the girl he'd been staring at since the first day of school.

He didn't know what he would say though. He really had no clue. He didn't want to come off as some kind of weirdo. He had to think of something though, he was getting real close. He could see her with her nose stuck in a book.

When he was almost there the bell rang and people flooded around him, cutting him off from every direction.

Great, you were so close. Oh well. There's always tomorrow.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooo
