Rini and Dimitri VanBraff---

Reno grabbed my hand and rushed through the back alleys and out to toward the dock.

"Good…come on…the boat is leaving." He said.

I looked around, it was midnight and here we were trying to board a boat with no tickets.

"Reno, we don't have…"

"Shhhh!" He said interrupting me and boarding the ship pulling me up with him. "We don't need tickets…"

We made our way through the packed boat. Reno looked around a moment then leaned into me.

"We are going to have to make a few stops before we get to the Gold Saucer. I think this goes to Costa Del Sol." He said leaning back in his seat.

I nodded. My heart was beating so fast, I had never in my entire life been as nervous as I was right then. I looked over to Reno, asleep. A small giggle escaped my lips as I rolled my eyes. Reno was a strange young man, but he was a really amazing Turk. I'd never seen anyone be as versatile as he. One moment he'd be laughing and cracking jokes when the next he's laying someone out flat. I smiled and leaned back in my seat prepared for a long journey to Costa Del Sol.

"NEXT STOP…..Costa Del Sol!" A loud voice came over an intercom.

I sat up straight and looked around. For a moment I wasn't sure where I was, and then it hit me. Oh yeah, that's right…I was with Reno…he and I had run off to get away from the mighty ShinRa Corporation. I turned slowly seeing Reno smiling at me.

"Well…we are just about here." He said standing slowly.

I nodded and stood up beside him. Soon the boat had stopped and we followed the other passengers off. Reno looked to me and laughed a little.

"Heh, I can't believe no one even asked for our tickets!" He said walking off the dock and looking around.

"Well…Rini VanBraff…Welcome to Costa Del Sol!" He said smiling.

I smiled back and we walked into the city. Quickly Reno began to make his way towards a bar.

"Reno, shouldn't we be resting?" I said looking at him.

"Ele…Uh" He coughed a moment. "Rini lets get a few drinks, then we can rest…ok?" He said opening the Tavern door.

I sighed a moment then walked into the small bar. "Whatever Man…"

We slowly made our way across the tavern and to an empty table. A young brunette waitress quickly stopped by our table no sooner than we had sat down.

"Hmm…what can I get yaz!" She said with an accent.

Reno looked to me then to the waitress. "I'll take umm tequila…and umm, Rini, Sis…what you want?" He said smiling a little to me.

I blinked a moment and looked at him then to the waitress. "Uhhhhh….Ice tea.."

The waitress nodded then ran off, quickly returning with our drinks. Reno smiled, paid the lady, and drank down his shot of tequila.

"Well…once we got to the Gold Saucer and get enough money we can set up a shop anywhere. You can decided our destination if you want." He said staring off into the distance.

I smiled and took a drink of my ice tea. "Yeah? Well…I will have to think about it."

A few hours had passed by and my head was hurting very badly.

"Reno, you think we should umm get some rest now?" I said trying to focus on him, my eyes were a bit blurry and my head was swimming.

He smiled. "Yeah, I think you need a little sleep…"

As we left the tavern, Reno overheard some men talking about the train to the gold Saucer. He put my arm over his shoulder.

"Come on…I think we may be leaving tonight!" He said making his way towards the harbor.

Sure enough there was a train bound for the Gold Saucer that night. However Reno and I boarded the…boat, well it was more like Reno dragging me along for the ride. I looked over at him as we sat on the hallway floor.

"I don't feel so good Reno…" I said leaning my head against the wall.

"You aren't looking very good…" He said feeling my forehead. He stood up and looked around seeing a door slightly ajar. He quickly glanced around inside it seeing that it was a small cabin with no occupants he opened the door and came back to me.

"Come on in here, you need to rest some…your looking a little pale." He said taking my hand and guiding me into the room.

It was a very small ship cabin. I lay down on a small cot in the corner staring up at the ceiling. Reno grabbed a chair at the nearby table and sat it down next to the bed.

"Well…you should get some sleep now."

Something was wrong with me, I never felt so awkward in all my life. I looked over to Reno, he was practically asleep. I smiled a little, barely seeing his features due to the blurriness of my sight. I sat up a moment looking at him, he looked like he was about to fall face first out of the chair.

"Reno…perhaps you should lay down.." I said still staring at him

He opened his eyes slightly and looked at me. "Huh…Oh nah…I am ok really…you lay down and sleep…I'll be fine." He said smiling.

I nodded and looked at him. "Alright" I said as I lay back on the cot.

My head was spinning uncontrollably, I felt so strange and not myself. My mind began to race, so many thoughts running through my head, I pictured my new life away from ShinRa Company, a huge smiled crossed my face as I suddenly heard Reno snoring. I giggled a moment and shook my head as I turned over and closed my eyes. I really did need to get some sleep.
