Wolf: Yay! They're talking to me again! 'cept they're on a mission so it's all too quiet now. This one just kinda came to me, but it was fun to write. I hope you like it and remember to Read and Review. Please! (super cute, huge, wobbly, watery eyes) Please...

Rain fell, lashing the windows and making them rattle. Occasionally lightning would flash and light up the offices of the Shin-Ra Electric Power Company. A loud crash of thunder made a blonde woman in a Turks uniform jump and drop the papers she was holding. She bent and grabbed the papers off the floor, swearing under her breath.
"You seen Rude?" Elena screamed and dropped the papers again, spinning to face the door. The man standing in the door had spiky, red hair that came to a tail at the base of his neck and bright blue eyes.
"Did I scare you, 'Lena?" Reno laughed as Elena bent again to pick up the papers.
"No, Reno, I have not seen Rude."
"But I did scare you!" Reno laughed. "You're kinda jumpy, what's up?"
A flash of lightning lit the room and Reno leaned back with his hands in his pockets. "Come on, Elena, what's up?"
Elena pushed past him, ignoring the question and stepped into the office Reno and Rude shared.
"Your office is a mess." Elena worked her way between the mess on the office floor. "You guys need to straighten up."
Reno leaned against the doorframe. "Tell me those papers isn't for me."
"They're not for you." Elena smiled over her shoulder and put the folder on Reno's desk.
Reno moaned. "So you don't know where Rude is? What about Tseng?"
Elena shook her head. "Why don't you go ask the president? He'd know."
Reno sighed. "They wouldn't have gone on a mission. Maybe he left a note."
"You didn't check?" Elena watched as Reno ran to the desk and dug through the folders on top. After a minute he straightened with a piece of paper in his hand. "A note!"
"What's it say? A mission!"
"I was wrong!" Reno threw the note down. "More responsible, ha!"
"They made me stay to baby-sit you!" Elena sat in Rude's chair.
"Baby-sit me? You're the one who's afraid of lightning."
Elena jumped to her feet and took a step towards Reno as the lightning flashed brightly. A very loud clap of thunder followed and Elena screamed and grabbed Reno's arm.
"You're supposed to baby-sit me?" Elena lookedup to see Reno smiling smugly at her.
Elena narrowed her eyes anddropped his arm. Reno laughed as she stalked back into her office andfollowed her, still laughing."Wait, I'm coming. It gets too quiet in there all alone."
"Those files have to be finished in three days."
Reno turned back to his office and Elena sat down and opened her own paperwork.
"Three days. That's it?" Elena looked around to see Renograb the chair from the spare desk.
"Yes. That's it. There's not even that much in there."
Reno grumbled as he pulled he chair to the window and propped his feet on the sill. Silence fell except for the occasional turn of a page, a yawn or the distant rumble of thunder.
--- --- ---
"That was a big one." Reno looked up as a flash of lightning lit the room like daylight.
"Reno, don't sit so close to the window. Please." Elena looked up at Reno, who smiled over his shoulder and turned back.
"Reno, come on." Elena stood up and walked next to Reno. Outside, the rain still lashed the window by Reno's feet and fell to the pavementahundred feet below. A huge clap of thunder shook the glass, making Elena scream and fall into Reno's lap.
"Ouch! Elena!" Reno stared at Elena who was clutching his shoulder. "Are you finished?"
"Shut up." Elena blushed slightly and jumped up. "I wasn't expecting it."
Reno laughed and turned back to the papers. "Yeah, yeah. You just wanted a chance to get in my lap."
Elena threw a book vaguely behind her and listened to the satisfying thud of it connecting with Reno's head and his yelp of pain.
Wolf: Awww, how cute. I didn't mean at first for it to turn out like this, but it's ok...I think. I had an alternate version that I might type up. If someone asks. (coughcough) :P
