Rude woke up to someone pounding on the door. "I'm coming, chill out!" he called out as he threw something on before leaving his bedroom and standing in front of the door of his apartment. "Who is it?"
"Just open the door, man!" a familiar voice called out.
"Reno…I should have known." Rude muttered as he opened the door. "Do you know how early it is?"
"Early for you, late for me." Reno smirked as he staggered in and plopped
down in the closest bean bag chair. "Mind if I…" Reno waved negligently toward Rude's bong on the table. "I need to mellow out before I can get some sleep."
"Where's yours?" Rude asked.
"Aerith broke it." Reno admitted with a Chesire cat grin.
"Aerith?" Rude was surprised. "I thought you blew that chick off cause she was too freaky."
"Free love, man, free love. It means you never have to say that unless she wants to turn you into a square." Reno replied.
"You're a regular Casanova, aren't you?" Rude wondered how long Reno would stick around this morning.
"What's with you lately?" Reno asked before taking another hit off the bong. "You're like permanently trippin' out..."
"It's that Elena chick who just moved in." Rude reluctantly admitted as he looked in the mirror ball to check his afro. "She's far out."
"Elena? Have I met her yet?" Reno wondered. "If you're interested, want me to feel her out for you?"
"Dude, you're a real piece of work, you know that? Just cause you have a dick doesn't mean you have to be one." Rude told his buddy, only to answered by Reno's snoring. "I stand corrected." he said, grabbing the bong out of Reno's slack hand before it fell onto the shag carpeting and made a mess.
