Pranks, Memories and dreams {Knight}

[Matsi]

This was their most brilliant idea yet. With Toboe out of the way by going to talk to a professor about taking a class, the two girls were left to do what they wanted, how they wanted, when they wanted. in other words, they were about to get into some trouble. Needless to say, trouble was exactly what they had planned for their afternoon. Since Alicia already had to go talk to the headmaster (just like every other day), it only made sense to get into MORE trouble. So that was the reasoning behind why they were sneaking into the Military building, trying to find General Mustang's office. Yuffie had told Alicia that Mustang was in a meeting with the headmaster for about two hours. Leave it to Yuffie to get the good details.

Alicia wandered happily down a back, quiet hall of the military building as if she knew the halls by heart. Which, really wasn't a full lie. She had snuck into these halls many times before and knew every hiding place, guarded spot, and doorway. Yet, as the wandered, Alicia started to smile and looked over her shoulder at Yuffie, then slowed until she was walking right beside her friend.

"Hey. Can...I be honest for a second?" She asked in a quiet voice. Her face was nervous and shy looking, as if she had a dirty little secret to share. Not that that was a total lie either.
"I...Think I like someone," She finally choaked out. She had NEVER had a crush on anyone, and this was a new feeling to her.
"At least, I think thats what I am feeling. I feel butterflies when he is around, and I get all nervous when I look at him," She said as her cheeks turned a slight red, then deepened to a bright cherry red. Alicia turned down another hall way, but stayed even with Yuffie so that shse could gossip with her friend about the new and unusual feelings that were going through her body.

[Knight]

Yuffie had this all figured out. She had a map of the military base stuffed into her back pocket and she was dressed to impress. Well, okay, not really. The girl was wearing her typical attire; jean shorts and a tank top. Nothing too special, considering they were breaking into a military complex. But Yuffie wasn't too worried about it. She'd been caught doing worse. Besides, Mustang was going to be engaged for about two hours with the headmaster. It had been a a pain in the butt to find someone who knew that, and even more of a pain to get him to tell her. But a few minutes of eyelash batting and other, distinctly less subtle flirting later and Yuffie knew everything that she needed to know. With Toboe busy, this was the perfect opportunity.

And she and Alicia were taking full advantage of that moment. Wandering through the hallways like they owned the place, Yuffie and Alicia looked totally comfortable. The folded map that Yuffie had crammed into her pocket truthfully made her feel a lot more confident in her abilities to locate Mustang's office. Plus, Yuffie had snuck into this place plenty of times. She and Alicia knew the place pretty well. It was only because Toboe really didn't that they hadn't dragged the magic student along. Well, that and the fact that Alicia really didn't seem inclined to bring Toboe with them. Unwilling to push it, Yuffie had to admit that this was a lot more fun without the conflict that always flared up between Toboe and Alicia.

Distracted as she was by her thoughts, Yuffie glanced up idly at Alicia when the girl slowed down a bit to talk to her. "Of course, Ali." Yuffie said with a grin. Hey, they weren't best friends for nothing! For all that Alicia was the butt of many of Yuffie's pranks (case in point: ET), Yuffie loved her best friend. And besides, secrets were fun!

Stifling a snicker of amusement, it took Yuffie a moment to compose herself and answer her friend. "WHO?!?" She hissed urgently, only the fact that they were sneaking around a military base keeping her from shouting. "Do I know them? Is it one of our friends? Is it one of the new transfer students?" Yuffie practically flailed as she wandered, trying to keep from totally spazzing out in the hallway right then and there. "Have you talked to them? DO THEY KNOW?" Yuffie had to work hard not to shout, but her voice rose sharply from a whisper to a rather normal tone of voice by the time that Yuffie was done talking. She was excited!

Grinning to herself, Yuffie rubbed her hands together. This opened up so many doors for tricks! This was going to be so much fun! The moment that Yuffie tracked this boy down... Well, he was going to regret ever having to come in contact with her. Because she was going to set them up and make everything work out. This had honestly made her day.

[Matsi]

Alicia at first was afraid of what it was that Yuffie would say. Alicia had NEVER crushed on anyone before. She was eighteen years old, and never showed interest in anyone. Her father would be proud, excited even, but Alicia was uncertain of what her best friend would think. Yet, her worries seemed to be unneeded. Yuffie's excitement made Alicia smile and deepen in her already red color. This wasn't really the type of reaction she was expecting, and she really wasn't used to this type of attention. Not that she really liked this type of attention anyways, so it made her turn a color that normally, she would never show.

Alicia listened to Yuffies questions, trying to keep track of which ones she needed to answer, and which ones she could let slide under the radar.
"Hes one of the Transfers. I haven't directly talked to him. He was in the headmaster's office the otherday when I went for my meeting, so I greeted him. I have passed him quite a few times, so Im wondering if he isn't in a similar major as us. And NO they don't know," She hissed as she looked around, making sure they weren't being followed or suspected, then looked back at Yuffie.
"His name is Vincent. He is...." She had to think to herself, trying to decide how to describe the man that she got her first crush over.
"He kinda' is dark and intemidating. With GORGOUS red eyes, black hair and super tall," She said, swooning for the first time in her life. After her little swoon, she looked around again. She had the feeling that they were getting off track, but she really didn't care at the moment, so she just stopped walking to talk to Yuffie for a few moments before going on again.

"It's just all... Odd feeling! I don't like it! But he's just soooo...GAH!" She had a small flailing spell and then giggled slightly as she rubbed her face in her embarassment. She didn't understand how people could have CRUSHES ALL THE TIME! The feeling was scary! It was like... falling without knowing how far the ground was below. It was like falling and not knowing what was below to land on. Would it be warm blankets of down? Or would it be shattered glass? It was scary and almost painful to think about.

[Knight]

Yuffie just grinned at her friend, perpetually amused by life and particularly by Alicia's behavior. She was just so silly when she got like this. Yuffie couldn't help but be amused by it. It wasn't her fault, okay? It was just because Alicia was being silly. So Yuffie just grinned to herself. "One of the new transfers, huh?" Yuffie was, needless to say, committing this all to memory so that she could stalk the guy later and find out everything about him. And maybe set him up with Alicia, if he was good enough. And if he wasn't, well, Yuffie would have fun driving him off. Because that was almost as fun as setting people up!

Vincent. Well, that was an interesting enough name, she guessed. "Vincent, eh?" Yuffie snickered, winking at her friend as she wandered along the hallways aimlessly. Pranking Mustang was kind of less important than this. Plus, they had time. And no one was looking at them oddly yet, so Yuffie figured they had some time. "Awww, come on! Alicia, you should tell him! I bet he likes you too!" And even if he didn't, it would be funny! Okay, so maybe that wasn't the nicest thing ever, Yuffie wasn't necessarily the nicest person ever. She liked Ali, though! Ali was nice.

At the description of Vincent, Yuffie raised an eyebrow. Not exactly her type, but whatever. To each their own, she figured. Besides, if Alicia knew who she had a crush on, Yuffie had a sneaking suspicion that Alicia would wonder why too. So she wandered to a stop and grinned at her friend, as happy as ever. "He sounds like your type." Yuffie said with a snort. "Strange, just like you." Skipping lightly aside, just in case Alicia decided to get pissy, Yuffie leaned back against the wall and snorted to herself.

Okay, so Yuffie couldn't help it. She started laughing at Alicia's animated flailing, her amusement clear as she took a moment to compose herself and focus. "I know what you mean." Yuffie said solemnly, but she didn't manage to stay serious for long. "Are you going to talk to him?!?" With that, the questions were on again. "Do you know which dorm he's in? What time does he usually eat lunch? Am I allowed to prank him? Can I set you two up?" Yuffie figured that that was enough, for the moment.

She clamped her mouth shut, though she still had a thousand more questions for her friend, and snorted to herself. "How are you going to convince him to like you?" All right, that was the last question. And it was Yuffie's most serious one. She needed to know if her meddling was neccesary. Of course, knowing Alicia, it would be. Alicia wasn't good with this kind of thing, as was evident in the fact that she was this old and had never had a crush before!

[Matsi]

Alicia frowned, then laughed at her best friend. Yuffie was just plotting, she knew it. She had known Yuffie long enough to know when she was plotting or planning, and this was one of those moments. Yet, she wasn't able to focus on that for too long, for she just couldn't! Her mind was like mush now, and she was soon shaking her head at Yuffie.

"I doubt he noticed that I even exsist, Yuff," She laughed as she looked around quickly. Her eyes then darted back to Yuffie as she started to speak again. The questions that Yuffie could come up with were slightly intemidating and made Ali blink slowly.
"Am I going to talk to him? I don't know. Dorm he is in? Not sure. When he eats lunch? HI DONT KNOW YUFFIE I DON'T STALK HIM! And Sure, and NO!" She then thought for a second about the last question for a moment, really thinking about how to answer it. Before she could answer, though, there was the sound of someone walking down the hallway, and Alicia motioned to a nearby door that was an old lab that was never used. As they moved to the door she shrugged.
"I'm not. You can't really make someone like you. I mean, theres no way any one can get me to like Mustang, for example," She laughed softly as she shut the lab door behind them.


Sig had just been moved to this office, well this base, and was already at work. With the retirement of the head scientist that had started the WarHound Project, He had been put in charge of the beat's creation and study. He was already hard at work, inspecting images of the General's two adult WarHounds, then looking at the notes the old head scientist had taken. As he found things that he deemed as important, he would write his own notes on a notebook.

The blonde man had made a lot of progress in just the last few days, well, his first few days. At this point, he was almost finished, and almost ready to get his hands on a few of the Hounds, then proceed with the project.

The sound of his lab door opening made Siegfried sit up from his notes and look at the two girls that entered. By how they were talking and how they looked, Sig was fairly sure that they were not part of the military. Then, as the girl with the longer hair stated (indirectly of course) her hate for General Mustang, Sig was certain that they were not from the military. Silently, he put his pencil down and just looked at them for a moment, grinning slightly.
"Can I help you, Ladies?" He asked smoothly, his eyes amused, but his face turned stern as he watched the longer haired girl jump about five feet in the air and turn.

Alicia was panicking the moment she heard the voice. She had NEVER seen anyone even pay attention to this lab, let alone be in it! This was just not her lucky day! Nervously, she shot Yuffie a sideways glance, then looked back at the man. Then her face changed. Her brows furrowed and her eyes narrowed on the blonde haired, green eyed man. Why did she feel like she knew him?

Sig looked at the other girl as the first one shot her a look, then back at the first girl. He noticed how she was looking at him and frowned. What was up her ass?

[Knight]

Yuffie practically bounced up and down, grinning and obviously excited. This was an entertaining development, and the prankster was eager for details. "You should stalk him! I need to know more about this mysterious boyo!" Yuffie grinned at her friend, tapping her foot against the ground. It was hard for Yuffie to contain all of her energy and stop from completely spazzing out. As it was, she channeled her energy into responding to Alicia, looking quite amused by just about everything. "Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase?" Looking quite put out by Yuffie's snappish retort about being set up with him, Yuffie widened her chocolate brown eyes and looked pitifully at her friend. Of course, if Alicia said no, Yuffie was going to try anyways. It was just how it was going to work. Alicia really would have no impact on Yuffie's next course of action.

Footsteps made Yuffie jump, and she glanced nervously over her shoulder, ducking into the room as soon as Alicia opened the door. It wouldn't do to be caught before they had had any time to have fun, after all! So Yuffie wandered into the room swiftly, laughing at her friend as she continued to speak. "Does anyone like that obnoxious idi--ohhhh." Yuffie changed tactics in the middle of her sentence, her eyes narrowing slightly as they settled on the blonde man.

Whipping the map out of her pocket, Yuffie glanced at it as she figured out swiftly where they were located. The room was still marked as 'unused.' Glancing from the map to the man and back again, Yuffie frowned slightly. "Hi! You must be new here!" She chirped brightly, doing her best to make sure that they could get out of here swiftly and be on to prank Mustang before this . . . person, whoever he was, managed to get them into trouble. "I'm Tiffany and this is my friend Sarah! We're looking for her dad? Maybe you've seen him around?" Yuffie was fairly good at lying, though perhaps not the best. "His name's Tyson and he works somewhere around here, I think?" Yuffie glanced at Alicia, a grin appearing on her features.

This was fun. It wasn't often that Yuffie got a chance to lie through her teeth (lying was just another thing that Godo had said was 'bad' and that Yuffie enjoyed doing just because she could). "Doesn't he work around here, Sarah?" Yuffie stuffed the map back in her pocket and batted her eyelashes at the young man. He wasn't particularly attractive, but hey, Yuffie wasn't above doing a bit of flirting to get out of trouble. And he wasn't as crusty as Mustang, so it wasn't like it was particularly hard.

Whatever Alicia's reason had been for freezing up, Yuffie had moved swiftly to cover her friend's ass. Ali was going to owe her after this. Hey, maybe this would be her excuse for setting Ali and the new boyo, whose name she had already forgotten, up! Oooh, it was diabolical! Yuffie giggled to herself, amused by her evil plan. Even if they got in trouble here, Yuffie was excited. She could finally set Alicia and Boyo up! It was going to be fun!

Alicia could hear Yuffie talking, but just couldn't register what she was saying. All she could do was just sit there. Sit there and just watch the blonde haired, green eyed man with shock. His voice. The eyes. The face. The scar. It just...It all added up, but it couldn't!

Siegfried stood up from his spot behind all of his papers and stretched as the girl with the shorter hair spoke. He cracked his neck and sighed as he pushed his hair out of his face and took a few steps around his desk, then leaned on the edge of the table, watching the two girls as "Tiffany" spoke. By how they were acting, he really doubted those were their names, but he played along for the moment.
"Tyson, eh?" He asked as he acted like he was thinking. He already knew that there were not any Tysons, that he knew of, in his building. Not that anyone went by their first names in this building. Everyone was called by their last name. Mustang, or Gregor, or Lionhart. No first names, so it was understandable that Sig didn't know anyone by Tyson anyways.

"Hmmm. Sorry, lass, don't know of a Tyson. Now, why don't you get on with the real story, eh?" He asked with a smart ass smirk and leaned onto his table more.

Alicia finally snapped out of her shock and glared at the man.
"We are on our way to piss Mustang off, happy, Siegfried?" Her face was hard and irritated for a moment, but then softened as the man's face looked at her shocked. Alicia lightly leaned into Yuffie, more comforting herself that her best friend was actually there, then stood tall.

"Never thought I would see you again, after you moved east and all," Alicia said. Sig's eyes looked from Yuffie, to alicia, to Yuffie, to Alicia again. He was confused. How did she know his name and what was this trickery?!

[Knight]

Whoops. Looked like he saw right through her. Totally ignoring Alicia, who was still sitting their uselessly, Yuffie sighed. "Maybe I got the name wrong?" Yuffie muttered doubtfully, "I'm not great with names, sorry. But I think it starts with a T!" Yuffie proclaimed loudly, elbowing Alicia's side slightly. C'mon, she needed some help here! "But you're new here, aren't you? So how would you know?" Yuffie turned it back on him after a moment, her dark brown eyes narrowing slightly as she shot him a sharp look.

Real story? Oh, she was about to snap at him, but before Yuffie had a chance to open her mouth, Alicia was talking. "ALI!" Yuffie yelped, "No fair! You're not supposed to blow our cover. Now I'm going to get detention and I was going to go stalk the boyo!" Sulking, Yuffie rolled her eyes as she turned to look at the blonde guy, her eyes narrowing irritably as she looked at him.

This was why her prank had been ruined?!? He wasn't even cute. And Alicia had a crush on someone else. They had just established this! So what was she doing ruining their greatest prank yet for this ugly guy? He worked with Mustang too. That made him even worse in Yuffie's eyes. She definitely did not approve of this development. This totally ruined her plans for the day. Ugh! She and Ali were about to have a serious talk.

"This is great." Yuffie muttered venomously, shooting Alicia an irritated look. "Since we all know each other, can someone clue me in?" She was mostly just annoyed about being left out. Yuffie didn't like to not know what was going on! Her best friend was apparently keeping secrets and had totally ruined their greatest prank yet for a guy that Yuffie had never met and she wanted to know what was going on! And if it wasn't anything interesting, Yuffie wanted to get on with pranking Mustang. Maybe she'd throw blondie in a closet or something until they were finished with a Mustang so he didn't tell anyone what was going on.

Hey, that was a pretty good idea, actually! Yuffie giggled mischievously to herself, anger vanishing in an instant as she rubbed her hands together, her eyes lighting up with amusement at her plot.

Alicia had to admit, she was slightly amused by Yuffie's frantic speaking. Yet, she was focused on snapping at her brother the same way that they had when they were little. Her eyes were narrow on the man that held such the familiar face. She couldn't help but love the fact that she was seeing him, but why now? She was not thrilled about that at all.

Then Yuffie's questions grabbed both Alicia's and Siegfried's attention. Sig smiled and sat back in his chair, then leaned back with his arms crossed over his head. Alicia's eyes shot to him, and she smiled too, her features softening in a way that she rarely let others see before.

"Ahh, Yuffie. Remember how I was adopted out and sepperated from my brother? Well meet my brother, Siegfried," She said smoothly. Finally, her shock and slight frustration had vanished and she wandered to the chair where her brother sat, watching her with egotistical green eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck as she buried her face into his shoulder, trying to hold back the emotions that she usually hid so well.

She stayed like that for a few moments, then looked back at Yuffie.
"Yuffie, It's my brother. It's really my brother!" She giggled almost as if high, and buried her face again for a moment. Siegfried had one arm around Alicia's waist and his other hand on one of her's. He smiled softly, but looked back at Yuffie, slightly unsure of what to think of her. Yet, he wasn't one to judge. He couldn't judge his sister's friend after not knowing his sister for so long.

Alicia held to her brother for a few moments, then released him, wrote down her dorm address on a blank paper, then stood tall and looked back at Yuffie. She seemed to have regained control of herself by this point, and was ready to go again.

"Yuffie, I think we have a job to finish," She said with a hum and slightly evil smile on her face.
Siegfried sighed as he sat up in his chair.
"You know I will not help you if you get your ass busted, Alicia Matsi!" He growled, green eyes narrow as he looked at the sister he was just reunited with.

Alicia waved him off and then looked over her shoulder first.
"I have survived with out you for how long? I will be fine," She snapped back, then looked back at Yuffie.
