Part 3
Part 3! Read on, read on!!!!!
That night at the Dancing Lion was a crazy night. Elena, still thinking about the events of the day, was struck by insomnia. It was 11:00 Wutai time when she finally drifted off to sleep. She had but one dream. She and Reno were walking on a rainbow over to a cloud, and then they sat down and-"RISE AND SHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Elena jolted awake. "Aak!" she said, as she found herself staring right into Reno's unshaven, ugly, grotesque mullet face. Reno grinned, and he looked remarkably like a trout. "Come on, we gotta head back or Fatboy and Rufus will bitch about how we were late, incompetent, blah blah blah." Elena hopped out of bed when Rude was complaining to Reno about Hedigger's ugly mullet coif and his fat belly. Soon, they set off, back to Shinra HQ. They had taken Reno's motorboat, which was plastered with "I love booze" stickers. They all hopped in and set off for Midgar. "Elena?" asked Reno when they were halfway to Midgar, and Rude was sleeping. "Am I cute?" Elena yawned and replied: "Never in a million years." Then they both started giggling. After a few minutes of silence, Reno spoke up. "Y'know what Elena? This may…hehe, sound, um…uh, how shall I put it. Well, that is to say, I-" Reno was cut off when the motorboat hit a huge rock, sending the motorboat off course and jerking Rude awake. "What the Holy Hell was that?" asked Rude, shaking. Reno had a worried look on his face. "We hit a rock! The engine seems to have been hit!" Elena slapped her head with her hand. "Oh no! We're in the middle of the ocean and the engine is going out!" Reno looked distraught for a while, but then his face lightened up. "Wait! I just remembered! I always have a spare engine!" Reno rushed to the back of the boat and took out a spare engine from a compartment. "To work!" he said, and went to replace the engine after turning the boat off. Ten minutes later, the boat was as good as new. Elena smiled. Reno…he may seem like a booze-guzzling nobody, but by the heavens, he's the man I love. I've decided that for sure. Reno started up the boat again, and they continued on. Eventually, they reached Shinra HQ. By that time, the rain was falling. The rain was soft, very unlike the downpour of the day before. They went up the elevator in Shinra HQ. Soon, they reached the top floor. When they got there……. "GWAHAHA!" Heidigger was laughing. "More free time for you!" Reno looked bewildered. "More free time? Are you okay, fat man?" Heidigger laughed nervously. "OF COURSE!!!!!!! Uh, now GO!" And so, the Turks headed back to Wutai. They headed back to the Turtle's Paradise. They got some booze and started chatting. Eventually Rude fell asleep. Reno looked like he was in deep thought after Rude fell asleep. Could he be trying to say what he was trying to say on the boat? "Um…..Elena"" said Reno after a while. Elena turned to him. "Uh, well, that is to say, I, um…" Reno stood up. "Well, that is to say, I-" all of a sudden, Reno fell backward, toppling Rude over and sending them both flying to the ground. Rude awoke with a start. "DUDE!" cried Rude angrily. "You woke me up from ANOTHER booze dream!" "Yeah, and it was fun doing so!" yelled Reno. He whapped Rude on the head and got up. "What I'm trying to say is that I lo-" just then, a fat guy sitting at the bar let out a huge belch. Reno turned to him. "I'm gonna deck your halls!" Reno yelled, but Elena grabbed him and dragged him outside into the midday sun. "Now." said Elena. "What were you gonna say?" Reno blushed furiously. I…..uh…..well…..heh heh…….well……okay…Elena, I……wanted to…..um…..give you a pay raise! No, that's not it!!!!!! Um, well……….okay, okay…...I…I…oh dammit, Turks aren't supposed to fall in love! BOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO! Aw screw that!!!!!!" Elena smiled so much she thought she would hurt herself. Reno grinned. "Awwwww……..c'mere." Reno drew Elena close and they gave each other a long, sweet kiss. The two lovers seemed to almost glow. Afterwards, there was a loud commotion in the bar. The fat guy was thrown out the door and almost bowled Reno over. Rude came charging out. "DUDE! They're having a booze brawl in there!" Reno grinney largely. "Tehn what are we waiting for? In we go!" And all three went in. It was like normal-they were booze-guzzling, fight-loving, kick-butt sneaky Turks, but they Reno and Elena both realized that Turks don't always have to be loners.
