Claudia woke up in her bed; she looked around expecting it to be the morning. When she looked at her alarm clock it was 6:34! "SHIT! I'M GONNA BE LATE!" she shrieked, "…. Fuck! Where is my outfit I picked out…."
Suddenly she heard heavy footsteps coming from the kitchen. 'No burglar will see me in my dress suit… wait a minute…. Dress suit?" she looked down and saw she was in the same condition as the last thing in her "dream."
"Damn it… she woke up after 4 hours…and I thought I liked to sleep…." A voice echoed from down the hall.
"W-who are you?! Why are you here?" she asked edging for the knife she hid in her pillow.
"I am God! Now Claudia be a good girl and don't try to stab Reno with the knife that isn't there any more…."
'Reno? Is this the guy from my dream… man… I thought I sleep walked when I am wearing what I was going to wear at my interview… but this is creepy.'
She saw the flaming red haired man walk into her room playing with the knife she had hidden in her pillow. "Looking for this?" he questioned as he tossed it on her bed. "Figured you would hide some weapons, so I looked around while you where on the couch… I got all the knifes, surprisingly one gun," he continued.
"So I did fight you and Rude? And I lost, and I'm a Turk?" she asked
"Tseng needs to see you first… but yeah… I think you are one… He'll love you." He said as he sat down on the bed, "I got your suit… the pres. wanted it to be tight… so I gotta make sure…"
Claudia saw a sheepish grin grow on Reno's face as he held out the bundle of navy material. She took it trying to figure out what was going on in Reno's mind. At last Reno said smiling, "Rude accidentally locked the bathroom door… so you can't change there."
Claudia sighed and took off her vest, and she put on the shirt that was to go under her navy jacket, then she put the jacket on, buttoned it up all the way, and gasped, "I… barley breath…"
Reno just nodded and helped her unbutton the jacket, and shirt just enough that she could breathe, and the president wont complain that he cant see anything. All Claudia could do was smile, 'I wonder if he is enjoying this as much as I am…. He probably isn't…' she thought.
"Now go look in a mirror…" Reno said coolly, still wearing the sheepish grin on his face.
When Claudia looked in the mirror, she gasped. She looked like the secretary just with more cleavage. 'I am not about to show off that much of my chest unless I was wearing lingerie. And I doubt I will wear that any time soon…'
"No… I am not showing that much off…" she said shakily as she re-buttoned her shirt enough so it showed a little bit of her breast, "I am willing to show this much off, if the president disagrees, then I don't care…"
Reno just shrugged. She assumed he didn't care. "Where's rude?" she asked, not really caring, just wanting to change the subject.
"Cleaning your fridge, he was really surprised at how old your food was… oh yeah… you gotta try on the pants." He said as he gestured to the pants on the bed.
Claudia glared at Reno as she snatched the pants from the bed, if looks could kill… Reno would be no more. Taking off her skirt she tried to not let Reno see her pink thong, when she had her pants off she pulled her shirt down as far as it could go to cover up herself.
When she finally got her pants on she noticed that they where tight on her butt, and baggy on her legs. She decided that these pants where comfortable.
Reno pretended to not notice the strawberry blondes, hot pink underwear, because he didn't want to get slapped for staring. The new Turk looked good, he had to admit, and if she got another job instead of Turk, he would probably ask her out on a "date." But thanks to the president, Turks "dating" Turks was not tolerated.
"C'mon… lets go show Rude." Claudia said as she started towards the door.
Walking thru the slate hallway of Claudia's house was interesting, because their footsteps where hollow, and cold. When Claudia got into the kitchen, she saw Rude. Rude was surrounded by all the food in her refrigerator. When Reno said he was cleaning out her fridge, she thought eating the food; not literally cleaning it of the bad food. And to her surprise he went shopping and had bags of fruit, and healthy people food.
Claudia sighed as she looked at the mess. 'I never thought Rude of all people would do such a thing!'
"Rude, like my suit…. Thing?" Claudia asked silently
Rude looked up from putting some freezer burned chocolate ice cream to the side and nodded, and then went back to work.
She heard Reno laugh, "Rude! You should see yourself now… gawd you look so funny! Don't you agree Claudia?"
"It is a site… I will have funny dreams tonight! But I have to admit this is really sweet Rude!" she walked over to Rude, and gave him big hug and whispered, "thanks…"
"Rude, when you get done stocking up Claudia's fridge, we gotta go." Reno said impatiently,
"Im almost done…." Rude said as he put some healthy shakes in Claudia's refrigerator, "done."
"Well we gotta go, Tseng will make sure that you are going to be one of us. And I am positive he will love you." Reno said as he gave Claudia a hug, then he whispered, "and the president will expect you to wear that every day…" as he put a had on her rump, then Reno walked out the door. All Rude did was nod, and then walk out the door with Reno.
"God, I hope I get the job… and they are so sweet! I wish Reno would be interested in me…" she gave a soft sigh, then got a orange out of the fruit bowl, that she hasn't used since Christmas.
