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!

"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."
