She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not.

The helicopter was flying above the forest at an extreme pace.

"Whoa! Slow Down There Reno!"

"Haha, but I'm on a roll! I'm on Kadaj's track, I can feel it."

Rude rolled his eyes then looked out the window. "Whoa, Reno! Look out!"

Reno turned swiftly, his eyes wide. He grabbed hold of the control stick with two hands and pulled at with great force. Luckily, they dodged the giant tree he was about to fly into. They flew into clear skies and lay back into their seats. A large grin appeared on the redhead's face. "Piece a' cake."

Rude gave him an irritated look. "Reno, you gotta keep control of the chopper! You almost had us killed!"

"Relax Rude! Seriously, I got it covered."

Rude sighed and looked out the window. "Well, we lost Kadaj's track. Let's go home."

"Oh man, I almost had him…" Reno turned the chopper around smoothly with his hand and looked slightly peeved as they began to fly home.

A smile crept up on Rude's face. He turned to face the driver. "Hey Reno, when was the last time you had a girlfriend?"

Reno laughed a little. "I dunno, I seem to be too swamped with work to think about girls. Where did that come from anyway?"

"Well, what would you say if I told you that I had a date set up for you."? Rude started to look happy with himself.

Reno's face was shocked. He looked backward and forwards from the skies, then to Rude, then the skies, then to Rude again. "I…. You?... You set me up on a date?"

Rude simply nodded.

The redhead opened his mouth to say something, but instead, being in complete shock, he turned his full attention to his driving. He cleared his throat. "So, what's she like?"

"Well…" He smiled, knowing Reno was now interested. "She's amazingly pretty, she's an acquaintance of Rufus Shinra's. She is quiet, but she's got spunk."

"Spunk huh?" Reno interrupted. He smiled, thinking this wasn't gonna be so bad.

"So, you wanna go through with this then?"

"Yeh, sounds like fun."

Rude smiled to himself.

"Thanks Rude."
"For what?"

"For interfering with my life."

Rude looked a little guilty and shy, looking across at the driver.

Reno smiled back at him. "Don't worry, I'm glad you did."

Tifa wiped her hands on a dishcloth, she had just finished washing up. The phone was ringing. She walked up the stairs and answered it. "Rude?" She looked a little confused. "Yeh. But. I. Um. Okay I guess… What? Yeh, all right, meet you at 8. Bye" She put the phone down, a little startled. She had a date? So soon? I mean, Rude had mentioned hooking her up but, so quickly? Tifa was a little nervous, regretting how it would go, but also so excited. She finally had a date, it's been forever since she found someone.

Cloud stepped into a house, it was extremely clean. He walked up the stairs and turned, walking into a room. "Hey."

"Oh hi Cloud! Rude just called."

"He did? Is there a problem?"

Tifa smiled. "Well no, not exactly. He set me up with a date. I'm actually a little nervous, I don't even know the guy."

"Oh." Cloud lowered his head. "You, you want to go on this date?"

"Uhh, yeh, I mean, I haven't been with someone in, ages."

"Oh right, yeh, course."

"Are you alright Cloud?"

"Fine. I'll be at home." Cloud left the room, looking a little sadder than he usually does.

"Cloud!?" She chased after him, but the door slammed. What was up with him? Tifa turned back towards the phone and picked it up. "Hey, Yuffie? I need your help with something."
