This isn't going to be long, a few parts maybe. Riku-Rocks presented me with this… insanity. Don't expect a lot from it. I'm just having fun tackling the idea.
Guess what? Don't own 'em.

Part 1:
Realized dream and secret letters
Reno tried not laugh, he really did. It was just so…. "You're kidding, right?"
A muscle in Rude's cheek twitched but that was the only outward sign that he was annoyed.
The red head's smile dropped. "You're serious, yo. She really said yes?"
Rude nodded.
"Damn, man." Reno smashed his fist into the larger man's shoulder. He didn't move. "I didn't think that'd ever happen, yo. We gotta fuckin' celebrate, man."
Rude clearly didn't like Reno's reaction, though no one else around them could recognize that. The man's expression was as impassive as always.
Reno frowned. "All right, what?"
Rude's lower lip twitched and he twisted his neck a bit. He looked rather uncomfortable. "I need a favor."
This completely captured Reno's attention. Turks did not ask favors, at least not unless it was absolutely necessary. And Turks did not do favors without reserving the right to collect on it later.
This had to be huge.
"Listening."
Rude glanced around and leaned his head in. In a low tone, he rushed out. "I don't know where to take her."
Reno blinked his tattooed blue eyes then snorted out a laugh. He leaned back so far, he nearly fell from the stool. He completely ignored the dirty look he got from the man he bumped into. "You're serious?"
Rude's lips pursed minutely.
"You are." Reno smirked. He tapped a long, thin finger against his chin. "Well, I miiiight have a few ideas."
The redhead could feel the glare behind those sunglasses. He knew this was important to his partner and they were friends, right? At least as much friends as Turks could be. He supposed he should cut him a break.
"All right, all right." He sighed in feigned resignation. "Look, I know what I would do but, well, I'm a dog and you know I only want one thing from a chick."
"I know but I don't know who else to ask."
Reno twisted his lower lip in thought. A rather busty brunette walked by, catching his eye. His gaze followed her, head just barely turning so he could see her backside.
"Reno."
He snapped his attention back to his larger companion. "Okay, how about this; we go ask Tifa's friends what they think. They'll know better than us."
"Why would they help us?"
"Because they love me, yo!" Reno stood, smug expression plastered on his face. "And I've got blackmail on most of them."
Rude was doubtful but he really wanted this date to be perfect. He had been pinning after the raven haired beauty for years now. It would be worth the potential embarrassment of going person to person with Reno if it helped.
"Come on, yo." Reno downed the last of his drink, plunked some money down and headed for the door.
Rude quietly followed.
Outside, they walked down the street toward the center of town. For whatever reason, the two Turks had found the outskirts of the main town on Radiant Garden much more comfortable. They still weren't certain how they found their way here but since it seemed the rest of the gang was holed up here, they would also.
Reno had lit up a cigarette, which dangled from his lip. He kept his hands in his pockets and strolled along. Rude walked a bit stiffly beside him. There weren't many people out at this time of day.
Suddenly, a silver haired teenager rounded the corner and into Reno.
"Whoa, kid." Reno knew he'd seen the boy before but the name escaped him.
"Sorry." He mumbled in apology before tearing off again. Over his shoulder, he shouted. "You didn't see me!"
Reno and Rude looked after the teen for a moment before glancing at each other. The lanky one shrugged and they turned the corner the kid had just emerged from. They weren't going to try to figure out that one.
A smaller brunette slid to a halt before them. "Have you guys seen Riku?"
Reno tilted his head, pretending to think. "Riku… Riku…"
"Yeah."
"Silver hair, green eyes, looks like Sephiroth?"
"Yeah."
"Nope." He walked around the kid, Rude following. That Riku kid owed him one now.
"Ugh!" The spiky haired kid stomped a foot. "He got another letter, I know it!"
Letter? Reno turned despite himself. "So?"
"He keeps getting these letters and he won't tell me who they're from. It's really starting to annoy me."
"Why do you care, yo?"
"Huh?" The boy blinked as if this was the dumbest question he'd ever been asked.
"Never mind." Why did he care? It wasn't as if the Keyblade Master couldn't figure out his own problems.
The Turks moved off and Sora ran off, going the opposite direction of his wayward friend.
"Remind me to find out what Mini-Sephiroth is hiding." Reno noted. Rude nodded.
The pair entered the Bailey and looked around. Someone should have been there but there was no one to be seen. "Well now doesn't this bite."
Reno leapt up on the stone wall and surveyed the area. "Oh, I see Yuffie."
He hopped down and smacked Rude's arm. "Come on, yo. She'll have an idea."
Rude looked at him.
"Well, she is a chick. Maybe not a good looking one but still."
Rude sighed and followed his fiery partner up the side of Scrooge's ice cream shop.
He knew this had been a bad idea.
