Yuffie Kisaragi, last flower of Wutai's great warrior line, would have said that she was afraid of nothing.

So, sitting on the cable car with Cloud, at the end of the most excellent date imaginable, she tells herself that she is not going to start now.

After all, nothing ventured, nothing gained, right?

She leans forward--- she doesn't have to nerve herself, does she, she's Yuffie Kisaragi--- and presses her lips to his cheek.

For a long moment, he looks at her in silence. Then, just as she's opening her mouth to speak, his lips find hers.

Fortune, Yuffie thinks smugly as she returns it, always favors the bold--- and there is no one bolder than she.
