Rufus was pleased. Things were going quite well on his plan to get rid of ShinRa's bad name. However he still needed to find a woman to share his power and image with. Elena was hung up over Tseng or Reno or one of those twits he hired to kill people. She'd never do as far as he was concerned. Especially considering he was never one to frolic with the help. No, he'd pondered this long and hard. Though recently something had come to his attention that made him quiver with excitement. The box could talk.
Yes, the small innocent looking box covered in garish SEALED tape could speak. In fact it could rant at length about being stuck on the 'thinks he's holy's gift to women' ex-president's lap. It enticed him to no end, the spunk the head had. Infact just thinking about it now he found himself caressing the box. The more he contemplated and the gears powered by gerbils worked the more he realized. Jenova was the perfect female. Strong and commanding, yet gentle and tender even with her body mostly destroyed and eaten by the lifestream.
He let out a small shudder as he caressed the metal box again and made his decision. He called to Rude who was relaxing in the other room.
"Rude, get in here and bring me the phone book," Rufus called, trying to be careful not to wake his precious box. He wanted this to be a surprise to her and everyone else.
After a few minutes of sound from the aforementioned room Rude entered, the big yellow book in his hands. After accepting the book Rufus gently placed Jenova box on the nearby bed and wheeled himself into the bathroom. As he closed the door he shooed Rude out of the room and then grabbed his cell phone. A moment later with a number punched in and ringing a click signified the pickup.
"Hello, Midgar Court system. Marriage department, how may I help you?"
"Yes, I'd like to arrange for a wedding," Rufus explained as he made his plans with hushed whispers. After approximately twenty minutes he emerged to find Jenova box awake.
"So just what were you up to you egotistical bastard? Plotting to have me smooshed in a trash compactor or something?"
"Oh no my dear," Rufus replied wheeling over and giving the box a loving touch.
"I have something much more special planned," he explained as he once again cradled the box despite it's protests.
