Title: Going to the Rescue
Fandom: Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Rating: PG-13 for language
Characters: Cid, Yuffie
Word Count: 540
Summary: Cid and Yuffie come to the rescue in Cid’s pride and joy. No ‘real’ spoilers (the scene it’s setting up was in trailers) but it’s leading up to parts of the group reunion.
Note: I don’t own any of the characters or the FF7 world.
The hum of Shera's engines slowly went from a gentle, soothing noise into a much higher pitched sound, the entire airship vibrating as it shot forward into the sky. Cid had one hand on the ships control and the other one was tapping a beat on the screens to his right as he tried to mentally urge his ship to go faster.
"Captain?" A young man appeared near the windows, wringing his hands. "How close are we?"
"Not close enough," he snapped back, easing back on the throttle just a tad. Shera was the best damned airship in the world but even she had her limits. "We're about half a fucking click out."
"Move move move!" Yuffie shoved past Cid's officer and pressed herself against the rounded windows. "I can see it now, we're almost there!"
"About damned time. We shoulda been here ages ago. Not that it's Shera's fault, mind you, we just weren't alerted in time." Brushing his nose, he looked annoyed. “Typical.”
"Oh stop your belly aching, old man," Yuffie laughed, bouncing from foot to foot, a ball of nervous energy.
"Who you calling old...what the fuck?" Cid winced as the proximity alarm suddenly went off. Leaning over, he squinted at the radar and nearly dropped the cigarette out of his mouth. "What the hell is that?"
In response, the young ninja suddenly shrieked at the top of her lungs and smashed her face even further against the glass. "It's Bahamut! Someone summoned Bahamut...and it wasn't one of us!" She paused and then stomped her foot before turning around. "Someone's using my materia!"
"Gear up, princess, while I get us into position." Deciding that he could smoke after defeating the bad guy, Cid put out his cigarette before pulling on the controls to slowly shift the airship into position.
"Don't have to tell me twice!" In a flash, Yuffie was off on a run and disappeared down into the rest of the ship.
"Gear up?" Now looking completely frightened, the young man edged over closer to Cid and away from the windows.
"Stop acting like a girl," Cid growled. "Our windows were made to withstand anything hitting them. Well, maybe not a damned summons, but we'll assume they do. Makes us feel better at night."
"What's going on, Captain?"
"Son, don't you know what going to the rescue looks like?"
The engines quieted down as it was put into hover mode and a voice suddenly blasted through the intercom forcing Cid to cover one ear as he frantically turned down the volume.
"Ready when you are, old man!"
"Hang on to your undergarments, princess, it's a long way down!" Cid barked a laugh as he pressed something on the panel.
"Did you just push her out the airship?!"
Not bothering to look up as he locked everything down, he snorted. "Nah, if I pushed her I wouldn't have bothered to give her a fucking parachute. Watch the ship, boy, and if there's one damned scratch on it, I'll have your hide."
The other man could only stare in horror as Cid grabbed his pole arm from its normal resting spot and trotted out of the cockpit. "But...but...captain?"
"Be back later," Cid said, waving without looking over his shoulder, "friends to go rescue, bad guys to beat the crap out of."

Also, y'know, without the romantic tension. Because that would break my brain.

And anything with Cid means it automatically gets bumped to a PG-13 rating. *grin*
But, yeah, no Cid/Yuffie here. Ew.

The other weirdass Yuffie pairing I saw when I was briefly looking for FF7 fic several years ago was Vincent/Yuffie--based on, I can only surmise, the fact that they're both optional characters. That broke my brain just on principle.

...Vincent/Yuffie? Oh dear God, my brain just ran away. Vincent/Tifa I can see (alternate pairings for teh win!) but...but...ewww.

Vincent/Tifa works because Vincent and Cloud have a lot in common. Yuffie/any of the other characters is just weird, though.
(What I wanna know is, where'd Red's kids come from? He's the last of his species!)
