Wolf: singing Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear-

"Rude! Elena!" Reno stuck his head through the door of the ShinRa lounge. "Tseng? Where is everyone?" He continued down the hall, stopping at every door.

He opened the door to the office where he and Rude worked. The lights were off and it was silent. Reno sighed and flipped on the light, thinking of getting a beer out of the mini-fridge.

"SURPRISE! Happy Birthday, Reno!" Elena, Rude, and Tseng jumped out from behind desks and chairs. Elena had a big, chocolate cake in her hands. HAPPY BIRTHDY RENO! Was written in big, curly red letters.

Reno blinked in surprise and lowered the electro-mag rod he had pulled out when they jumped out. "How'd you find out?"

"Your mother called about an hour ago. Tseng sat in Reno's chair and put his feet on the desk. "Nice woman."

"Here's your Birthday Beer." Rude handed him a bottle of beer as Elena put his cake on Rude's desk.

"Come on, Reno! The wax is going to get on the cake." Elena grabbed Reno's arm and pulled him to the desk. "Don't forget to make a wish."

Reno thought for a minute and blew out the candles. Elena stifled a giggle as Reno jumped back, all his defenses up. A knife appeared from somewhere and Elena cut out a piece of cake. Reno took a long drink of his beer as Elena handed him the first piece.

"Hey, this is pretty good." Reno spoke around a mouthful of cake.

"Thanks, I made it." Elena threw a chair at Reno as he started gagging. Reno ducked and drowned his beer, throwing it in the trashcan.

"Throw me another."

Rude tossed him one and Elena grabbed the pack. "I remember last time, even if you were all so smashed you don't!"

Elena left the office for a minute and came back empty-handed. Reno stared at her for a minute.

"WHAT! I thought those were for my birthday!"

Elena shook her head. "You can have them. Sparingly."

"NOOOOOO!" Reno shot past her and into the hall. "I will have them!"

----

"Rude!" Elena's yell made the bald man look up from his poker game with the black-haired Turk. "Tseng! Someone, help! He found them!"

Rude opened the door to see Reno run past without his jacket and the beer clutched to his chest. A few minutes later Elena followed, still yelling at him.

"Found the beers?" Tseng leaned back in his chair. "Elena might as well give up."

Rude nodded. "Throw me one."

Tseng dug behind his chair and slid a can of beer across the table to Rude as he sat down.

----

"Look at him." Elena opened the door and glared at the two men. Reno stood beside her, leaning heavily on her shoulder and smiling absently. The moment Elena stepped away, Reno's legs collapsed under him. He sat on the floor, humming and hiccupping.

"Not too bad." Rude shook his head. "The whole pack. That's not bad for such a short time."

Elena growled and shook her head, bending to help Reno to his feet. He giggled slightly and said in a slurred voice. "Yer fery nis."

"I hope your hangover kills you." Elena lowered him into a chair and spun on her heel.

"What's going on in here?" Elena froze at the sight of the man standing in the door. Neatly combed blonde hair hung over icy blue eyes.

"Sir!" Elena squeaked and saluted the man. Rude and Tseng jumped up and followed her example.

"Ser!" Reno stumbled to his feet, overbalanced and stumbled into Rufus ShinRa. Rufus caught Reno's arm as he fell and Reno smiled slightly still speaking in a slurred voice. "Yuv fery nis ize."

Rufus looked around at the other three Turks and his eyebrows rose. There was silence for a minute and then Rude spoke up.

"A few birthday beers, Sir."

Rufus nodded and turned to Reno. "Have you seen the snow outside?"

Reno shook his head, and Rufus led him out of the room by his arm. Elena glanced at the other two men as Rufus led Reno down the stairs.

Outside, the snow fell slowly, piling on the sidewalk. Elena, Rude, and Tseng watched as Rufus helped Reno down the steps. Reno smiled absently as Rufus walked away from his and stood by a deep snowdrift. He turned to face Reno.

"Come her. I want to show you something."

Reno stumbled to stand next to Rufus and mumbled, "Head hurts."

"This will only take a minute. Bend down; you need to take a close look."

Reno bent down and until he was about a foot away from the snow. Rufus grabbed the back of Reno's head and shoved it in the snow. Reno jerked back and came out of the snow with a yell.

"Sir!" Reno stared up in horror at Rufus. "Oh, man."

"I advise you don't get drunk on the job again."

The three Turks saluted as Rufus passed and Elena turned to Reno. "I told you not to-"

"Shut up." Reno pushed himself unsteadily to his feet. "I heard all this already." He put his hand to his head as he stumbled up the stairs.

"This hangover is gonna kill me."
Wolf: He got smashed! HAHAHA. He's still passed out in his room and the others are out doing something for Rufus who refuses to come out of his room, so I'm bored.You can help byreading and review. Please! (And I have another one I'll put up soon.)
