"This is stupid." A seventeen-year-old Squall Leonhart narrated, "I'm supposed to be working on a lit paper, Yuffie, not carrying your stupid pumpkins in the house."
Yuffie and Aerith had came up with the idea of a 'group bonding exercise'. Carving pumpkins. While Squall argued that they 'Weren't kids anymore', Yuffie retorted, stating that 'she needed adult assistance since Cid said that she can't hold a knife without another person was present '.
But everyone knew she was just doing this to get her way.
The three siblings were walking into their house when a certain Blond that was due became visible on the sidewalk.
"ABOUT TIME, CLOUD!" Yuffie screeched all the way from the garage, trying to balance her pumpkin on her knee and open the door that lead to her kitchen.
"YEAH, WELL, I WAS TALKING TO ZACK ON THE PHONE! AND TIFA SAID SHE'S COMING IN A FEW!" he loudly retorted, a chuckle almost legable in his voice.
Squall actually kinda smirked while Aerith suggested going in and proceeding in the event.

"I don't know WHY this pumpkin is so hard to cut!" Yuffie whined, trying to angle herself the best possible way.
"I dunno, Yuffie. Maybe you got a bad one." Aerith added, having much more ease cutting hers.
"Yeah, maybe you did." Cloud chimed in, all while carving his own pumpkin.
Yuffie looked at Squall who was NOT carving a pumpkin, but doing his lit paper. Yuffie cleared her throat, trying to get his attention.
Once
Twice
"Oh Squall, my favorite brother. Will you help me with carving my pumpkin?"
He looked up and retorted with an equally cold tone.
"I'm your ONLY brother, Yuffie. And no."
"Pleassssse?"
"No."
That went on for another minute or so, Cloud and Aerith watched warily, drinking lemonade.
Squall finally broke.
"Whatever."
"YAYYY!" Yuffie celebrated her victory. Aerith gave Cloud the 'I know something is gonna go wrong' face, while Cloud gave her the 'I know' face.
The two got into a fight about the, pumpkin, Yuffie stating that 'she couldn't do it', Squall arguing back with a 'you're just not carving the right parts.' Both of them grabbed the knife, trying to fight for power over it.
That's when it happened. It slipped.
If you were to ask anyone in that room, they would say at that moment, everything moved in slow motion.
If it was Tifa walking in, Aerith dropping her glass of lemonade, or Cloud jumping out of his seat, it all seemed to move at an extremely slow pace.
And then the deal was done. Everyone was just staring at eathother. Mainly everyone was looking at Squall's face.
He touched it, and looked at the crimson fluid that started a little above his right eyebrow and ended at his upper left cheek.
Tifa screamed.
