The party managed to escape Junon due to Yuffie's reckless stunt of the attempted assassination on Rufus Shinra. After successfully escaping he region itself and found themselves on open ground, the seven decided to lay low and hide for their protection and decided to board a ship that is headed to the island paradise known as Costa Del Sol.

Touching down on Costa soil, Yuffie was excited, but as for the big man himself, he was in his usual foul and salty mood.

Barret: we just arrived and I already hate it. Come on, let's get out of here

Cloud: we should probably wait for them

The SOLDIER said as he was referring to the mysterious black robed people.

Aerith: right! So a little sightseeing couldn't hurt, could it? I mean, come on we're in Costa del Sol people! Costa. Del. Sol!

Y/N groaned silently as he crossed his arms as he was not too impressed with the setting due to the fact that his training as a SOLDIER and his Assassin bloodline didn't allow him to enjoy his life.

Red XIII: perhaps we could find some shade first? I'm about to melt

Barret: I could shave you

Then the seven were approached by the mayor of Costa del Sol along with a welcome committee gifting them flower leis.

Tifa: let's find a hotel and shower first. Then we can go. Y/N, better put your hood down so you don't sweat a lot

Y/N: hmm okay

Barret: you better not be suggesting we all hit the beach

Y/N: not much of a swimmer myself

Aerith and Tifa looked around the beach, which caught Barret's attention.

Barret: hey...  hey! I saw that! Don't go thinking I didn't. You two said it with your eyes!

With the size of Costa del Sol being like a small community itself, the party ran around and explored while also finding a hotel to rest at.

(A few minutes later)

After learning that every hotel is fully booked, the party heard a familiar voice that already instantly made Y/N mad.

???: Tifa! Cloud, my bro!

The group turned around to see resident idiot of Midgar himself, Johnny.

Y/N: not you again...

The Assassin said as he whispered to himself.

Johnny: whew. Hey guys! Looking good

Tifa: same to you. So, what are you doing here?

Johnny: living the dream! Building my legend!

Y/N: building your legend of being a stupid idiot

Y/N whispered to himself silently.

Johnny: being the owner of a bona fide hotel... though not exactly a luxury one

Aerith: what a coincidence! We were just looking for a place to stay. Do you have any rooms?

Johnny: do I have rooms? I got rooms for days! Enough rooms to make your head spin! That's what happens when you have no guests

Barret: I don't know about this...

Johnny: no need to be shy. We go way back, right? It's the least I can do. Alright, let's get you settle in

The hyperactive hotel owner led the party to his hotel.

Y/N: I hope it's structurally safe

Tifa: it will be fine, Y/N. Don't be too hard on him

Y/N: he's just lucky he ran off before I did something back at Midgar
