Chapter 4: Don't Mess with the Cussing-machine
The sun had already set by the time they reached the outskirts of Rocket Town. Not wanting to alert the sleeping town of their presence, they landed the plane a few miles away and approached the town quietly, heading straight for the Highwind. You couldn't really miss something that big.
It was so easy, even The Turks couldn't believe it. Locating the Highwind to sneaking into it, all done in less than fifteen minutes. Clearly Cid thought nothing about security over precious belongings. The trio snickered. They half-wished they could stay to see Cid's face when he saw his Highwind gone the next day.
Of the three Turks, only Rude had been on the Highwind before. And that was a few years ago, when he accompanied President Rufus to the Northern Crater.
"Whoa man! I've seen this baby a few times already, but I didn't think it would be THIS big inside!" Reno gawked at all the space. Perfect for a wild party, with beer and women everywhere. Maybe with a little naughty stuff going on…
"Reno…Reno…RENO!!!!" Elena yelled into Reno's ears.
"WHAT?! Can't a man fantasize for a while?!" Reno snapped back.
"We need your electro-mag rod to start the engine," Elena said impatiently.
Reno blinked stupidly for a while, then finally understood. In a few minutes, the loud roaring of the engine could be heard. Too loud for their comfort actually.
"We've gotta go fast, the sound's gonna wake up everyone, especially the cussing-machine," Rude commented.
"Won't that be a sight, him cussing at us while we gloat at him," Reno remarked. "On second thought, I'm going out onto the deck to see it."
When Reno left the cockpit, Elena and Rude fumbled clumsily at the levers and buttons, panicking as they saw every house in the town lighting up, panicking even more as they saw that Cid's house had lighted up too. Fortunately, as Cid charged out of his house, they managed to push the right lever and sent Highwind soaring into the clouds.
Elena and Rude let out a sigh of relief. They looked out the window and saw the townspeople scurrying about. Cid in particular was jumping up and down in anger.
Reno entered the cockpit. "You wouldn't believe what that guy just said! He managed to blurt out a sentence of cusses that was a full minute long without taking in another breath!"
Elena looked out of the window, "Aww, he looks soooo cute jumping like that."

Author's note: Sorry this chapter was a little late! I'm still recovering from fever and cough :( Well, I am to blame, 'cause I didn't want to miss out on the holiday celebrations, so I kept dragging this beaten body of mine out everywhere (I live in the tropics, so there's no winter here.) Well, wish you all a Merry X'mas, late though it be.
