Warning: Some language and sexual humor~

Waking: Dec. 19th close to midnight

I was dreaming?

The crystal slowly began to break apart and disappear as Yuffie's eyes fluttered open. Her heart was racing as her nightmare came to an end. Her hand reached out grabbing at air as fresh tears streaked down her cheeks. Her throat tightened as a name trickled from her lips. "Yuri.."

She let her arm fall to the side as she remembered memories home. Her hands grabbed her head as she brought her knees to her chest. "Why is this so confusing!?" Those she knew here and those she knew from home. She unclenched her hand and looked at the white orb resting in her palm. It was real but it felt like she never left.

Wait.. Her eyes looked down at her chest. Things have certainly changed.

City: Dec. 20th morning

Yuffie wouldn't say she was adjusted but she wasn't going to spend her time mulling it over in a hospital room. It didn't surprise her that Mooshoo wasn't anywhere in sight and she was sure that he would eventually learn that she was back and come find her. He probably hadn't missed her anyway.

She walked through the city noting her two years of physical development. Would people recognize her? She was still the same height as before but her chest grew two sizes, and her eyes held the gaze of someone who has seen the passing seasons of war. Her hands went out and distinctly grabbed at her chest. She had to tell someone!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

"Jerk?" She ignored his comment about missing her if only because she couldn't deal with that knowledge just yet. Instead she scooted towards him her head tilting to the side.

"No one did anything.. I think, well." How was she suppose to explain it? Did he not notice that she looked two years old? It was kind of obvious. "A week, huh."

Another pause and then a deep breath as she tried to sort things out.

"I dreamed of home but I was there but I was also here? Like I remember being in the crystal but I know I'm older now.." She trailed off wondering if she was making any sense.

That didn't make any sense, well, logically speaking anyway but, he took a step back, not wanting to just call her a liar.

"Huh... You do look a little taller." he says, "And your hair's longer." he says, trying not to look at her in too much detail. You know, up top. It's not like she was tearing her shirt open anyway.

"So... you were back home but... you were here too?" he says. "Okay, I'll buy it. What happened?" he asks, interested in her story of time and space fuckery!

Yuffie shrugged and then stood. The changes were noticeable even in her current dress which was close to the ninja outfits she usually wore but possibly a little more skippy. Her usual tank top was stretched tightly across her chest and her belly was exposed. She wore a sleeveless jacket that couldn't possibly button in the front that also ended just below her bust.

"Can't you tell? I'm 17 now. That means two years have past." She winked with a wide smile letting him absorb that knowledge. She didn't really care if he believed her or not but she wasn't really interested in talking about the last two years just yet. The white orb rested in her pocket and for some reason it felt heavy.

"What? No... no way." he says, but, again ,taking her in... this wasn't the same... stick-figure girl he knew last week. Well, it was, but physically...

"That's... that's really weird. Either stasis makes you age faster or..." he crossed his arms, really trying to think this out, and totally trying not to stare at her chest or figure.

"Wait a minute, then how old were you before?" he asks, rather than saying something lame like, 'I like your hair longer, it looks better'.

She blinked thinking that his question had an obvious answer. "I was 15. Wait! Don't tell me that you didn't even know how old I was?!" Not that she expected people to know after all she was 14 but her birthday had passed the month before.

Yuffie leaned forward not meaning to accentuate her chest as she looked up at MarKus. "Your so mean, you know that?" At least he wasn't asking her about home though so she couldn't say that she didn't enjoy the company. "Why not fill me in on the last week?"

"I never asked. Shit, I don't even know your birthday, but, you've never asked me that stuff either." he counters. But he wasn't going to get all hurt over that. "So how am I mean?"

He did want to ask her about home, and he kind of did, when he asked 'What happened?' earlier, but she deftly dodged it for now. For now.

"Last week? Well, you ended up here. I've gotten some requests for gifts to be made. But as far as major stuff, you haven't missed a thing. We're a week closer to Christmas." he says with a shrug. "Did you do anything cool back home?" Oh look, he asked, but in a positive way that she could, yanno, lie.

She held out her palms trying to get him to slow down. "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.." She circled her fingers together. "Lets back track for a second."

"My birthday is in November. Also! What is Christmas?" Yuffie remembered some celebration thing going on before she slipped into stasis but she hadn't really taken the time to figure out what it was. "And why do people need gifts?" Not that she was going to get people gifts... that seemed silly.

"So is mine, so, don't complain that I didn't notice, you didn't notice mine either.", Rebuttal!

"Christmas... it's... kind of complicated really. So, back where I'm from, like, nearly three thousand years before, people used to believe that there was one and only one god. And in order to better people at a whole, he sent his one son to Earth so he'd grow up and hopefully people would just... stop being jerks. Christmas is basically the Son of God's birthday, Jesus Christ." No that's not an exclamation, that's a name.

"I think like, some super-scholar guys heard about this and came with gifts to celebrate the birth of God's son. And for some reason that turned into a tradition of giving gifts to your fellow man as a sign of good will and kindness and shit. But you know, times change and more or less it turned into a day where it's all about giving people you like or love or family gifts, while kids just revel in what kind of shit they can get. Kind of like Halloween."

Wait... why did he mention THAT?

"At least... that's what I remember of it. Like, the whole backstory shit."

"That sounds... really dumb. At least the part about God. No offense or anything but anything that comes from the sky is just bad news." She waved her hands again thinking of the comet that almost destroyed her planet. Yuffie wasn't sure if she wanted to deal with anything like that again.

"But the part about gifts sound cool. I don't think I'd know what to get anyone and I don't think they would want something thinking that I stole it." It was personal growth. Yuffie wasn't the same thief she was when she left. She might tease but she had stopped stealing, with Wutai on it's way to recovery there was no point but now she needed to be home to help her country.

A sharp pain attacked her heart as she thought of home. Did they even want her there anymore? Would they really forsake their princess after everything she has done for them?

"Yeah, I mean, where I'm from, the idea of 'God' also said that aliens weren't a thing because he didn't create them. And then both aliens and other culture's gods started walking around wrecking shit. Kind of debunked everything but we still do Christmas. It's about being with family and loved ones, and the gifts. Yeah."

Well, deal with it Yuffie because MarKus has you a thing for Christmas. "I trust you" he says. "Besides, I've got something for you already.

"What? Why! I am not getting you anything." Or at least she wasn't planning to and she was trying to make it clear that her plan wasn't going to change. Yuffie crossed her arms with a light frown on her lips.

What sorts of presents do you even get people? It just seemed overly complicated.

"So. It's not about "I get you something, you get me something." but, yanno... just, wanting to get something for someone and seeing them happy. Or paying a debt." he says.

That alone might give it away, but, thus far everything else is going over her head.

She was pretty sure that she didn't have any debts to be paid. At least, none that she remembers. Yuffie stared at MarKus for a moment trying to think. She wanted to see Wutai happy but that didn't really work while being here. She supposed she wanted to see her friends happy but that was still a little confusing for her. Yuffie knew that it meant to have friends now and she felt like she was looking at things differently.

"I guess.. I have some gifts to try and find."
