Rating: T mainly 'cos of Reno's foul mouth.

Disclaimer: Didn't own the FFVII characters in previous chapter (well except for maybe Dilan) so I obviously don't own them now. The characters still belong to Square Enix.

Well here is the next chapter, I think it will be longer than the first, though I personally think the first one was better… well anyways enjoy (I hope).

Chapter 2

Reno sauntered up to Moon Shadow's Tavern. He immediately saw, his blond co-worker laughing with a man whom Reno presumed was Dilan. Reno had thought of many pranks (some of which included, itching powder, a teaser or a hidden zapping thing which he had no idea of what it was called) to play when realised that just by showing up, he would completely humiliate Elena, which in his standards was good enough.

Then he decided he would celebrate the occasion by giving Elena a small "surprise". With a wicked grin he loped up to where Elena was sitting. As he closed in on the table, (Elena had her back towards the entrance and Reno, as she would have been giving Reno Death glares by now), he took in Dilan's chestnut hair, and grey eyes disliking him at once, though why Reno disliked him he didn't know. "Well, well isn't this a surprise?" he said.

Elena whipped around so fast Reno wouldn't have been surprised if she put a jack in the box to shame. Elena took one look at his sparkling blue eyes, and knew mischief would soon be at hand (as mischief seemed to be welded and super glued to Reno, not that he seemed to mind). She was right; as Reno lobbed the water bomb he had hidden behind his back, and hit Elena on the side of her face. It was a good thing for Reno that looks couldn't kill, as he would be less then a puddle of goop at that moment.

Elena was furious (and dripping), wondering how he had found her in the first place. "What are you doing here?" she demanded (the water was now turning into steam) Elena was silently vowing to get Reno back ASAP. "Well I thought that I would try a new place to have a drink, saw you here, so I thought I'd say hi." Reno said slyly.

"Well good bye" Elena spat. A sudden thought hit Elena "Out of all the bars and taverns in Midgar, you come to the one I am in for my date; I don't think it's a coincidence, in fact I know it isn't a coincidence." "So maybe Scarlet told me where to find you, what of it?" he challenged.

Dilan who had been silent till this point said quietly "I think you should leave, as you are upsetting Elena" "Yeah, Reno scram" Elena smirked.

Dilan looked at Reno, "So this is the infamous Turk, Elena has mentioned that you are a dick, but she didn't mention how much of an understatement this was". Elena and Reno looked surprised by this speech. Elena's surprise turned to admiration, as not many people could talk back to Reno, and get away with it. Reno looked annoyed as this man clearly knew who he was, and yet dared to Turk.

Reno was disgruntled to see the Elena's admiration, for Dilan. Dilan surprised him by getting up, "Let's go Lena" he said, Elena nodded in agreement, standing also. Reno grinning slyly followed them outside.

Elena let out an annoyed sigh "Haven't you got some drinking to do?" she asked pointedly. "Nah, didn't like the atmosphere" He suddenly lunged at Dilan, who side stepped while grabbing one of Reno's ankles, resulting in Reno to literally fall head over heels in the alley.

"Lets go" Dilan murmured to a shocked Elena (whose face by this point was completely dry). "Shit" Reno swore as they drove away in Dilan's car. Reno picked himself up off the ground, he decided that he didn't like Elena's new boyfriend on bit. Reno then re-entered the tavern and drunk steadily till he got kicked out when it closed, trying to figure out the emotion he felt when he saw Elena laughing with Dilan.

Elena looked at Dilan with surprise "Where did you learn how to do that?" Dilan sighed, "I was trained as a soldier when I was young" as all he said "And you're old now are you?" Elena teased. Dilan flashed her, a dazzling smile "well younger anyway, but I'd rather not talk about". "Sure" after a few minutes Elena couldn't contain curiosity any more, "so, where are we going?" he gave her a teasing smile "you'll see when we get there"

Next day at work

When Elena entered the office that day she was practically glowing, she ignored the questioning raised eye-brow, she received from Rude, as well as the smug knowing look on Scarlets face. As she went towards her office, she nearly yelped, as she found herself being unceremoniously dragged into the staff common room.

Elena looked wildly at her captor to see, red spiky hair and a long pony tail. She tried to slap him, only to have her other hand caught. Reno then pushed her back against the wall, so she was facing him. "What were you thinking?" he snarled "going out with someone you know nothing about to Gods knows where, without telling anyone"

Elena surprised by his evident anger struggled vainly to free herself, "Where we went is none of your business, and for your information I did tell someone where I was"

"who?" Reno demanded

"Tifa if you must know" Elena snarled

"Strife's girlfriend?"

"Yes, I would have told Rude but I was afraid he would tell you if you'd called him". Reno quickly hid his hurt look, as he let go of her "what about me?" he asked her reply made his gut plummet "you're the last person in existence I would have told" "I'm a big girl Reno, believe it or not, I can look after myself" with that she stormed out of room, slamming the door behind her, so hard the windows shook, oblivious to the agonized look on Reno's face.

Review please, I thought I would add a little hmmm… drama into this chappie.
