AN: Thank you for the kind reviews. Glad you like!

Disclaimer: I do not own FFVII, that would be Square-Enix.

Enjoy!

Rufus stared at the little girl, still wondering what to do. He wasn't at all good with children. That was Reeve's job. But, Reeve wasn't here. Oh dear.

Wait...'Oh dear'?

My, he was getting old. Using such metaphoric terms and rhyming. Holy.

Anyway, back to what was happening.

"Yo boss, what are we gonna do?" Incompetent Reno. He was oblivious. And used slang too much.

"Hey, she stole my chair! Don't I deserve something?" Reno asked.

"Reno, you'll deserve a swift kick in between your legs if you don't shut up!" Good Elena. She always knew how to handle the situation.

So, we have some time to kill. Toooo...killll.

Marlene crossed her arms. "I remember you! You took me from Auntie Elmyra!" The girl was very observant. It only took her thirty minutes to figure that out. I do love sarcasm. Heh.

Elena got up and walked over to the girl. "Hi sweetie! What would you like to do today?"

Marlene smiled up at the blonde woman. "I want to go to the park!" Typical. We should have know that already. I mean, it's a kid. They love sissy stuff like that.

Reno, sitting in the back of the room, spoke up. "Okay cool, I love the park." He said lazily.

Now that was a WTF moment. He would have never guessed that Reno was a sissy. He was ashamed. ASHAMED.

Marlene huddled deeper into the chair, giving Reno a frightened look. Interesting.

Rufus got up and crossed his arms. "Alright then. I guess we'll go to Parry Park."

Tseng raised his hand slightly. "But Sir, are you sure you want to go?"

Rufus nodded. "Of course, it's the least we could do for AVALANCHE."

"Least?" Reno said incredibly.

Of course, you moron. What did I just say? No, too harsh.

"Yes Reno."

"How do we get there?" Rude inquired.

Reno suddenly raised his hands. "Wait, wait. I have an awesome idea. We can use Rude's head to reflect the sun, melting a nearby cinder block into a car. It's genius I tell you!"

W...T...flying...F? As 'Reno' as that is, W...T...HOLY...F...?

Elena rose her eyebrows in an odd way.

Tseng was just totally 'HOLYSH!TOMFGWTFBBQ'.

Rude gave Reno the signature 'Glare O' DOOM', which was usually reserved for Tseng.

"Reno...how moronic are you? Did you...hit your...head or something?" Rufus asked.

"I think...he's been messing around with the TV too much..." Elena pointed out.

"Reno...I am going...to kick...your...ass..." Rude threatened.

Tseng was speechless.

"Reno, just for that, you have to carry the kid." Ah ha! Rufus can get back at him. Ah ha! Victory shall be mine! Cough.

Marlene jumped up from the chair and gave Reno a horrified look. She shook her head violently and ran over to Rufus, throwing her arms aroung his waist and shouting "No! No! No! Not him!"

Way to go Reno. Now the kid needs therapy. Wait, why the hell is she hugging me?

Reno grinned at Rufus. "Looks like she wants you Prez."

Reno could be quite the cheeky bas-

"C'mon Sir, let's get out of here." Elena said, waving her hand towards the door.

What, I have to carry her? Why?

Grumbling, he looked down at the girl. She clapped her hands in delight and exclaimed, "Piggyback ride, piggyback ride!" Oh great.

Frowning, he picked up the kid and let her cling to his back. It wasn't easy. The girl was pretty heavy, and he was struggling to keep her from sliding off. Marlene was grinning at Reno the whole time, and Reno winked at her.

"Let's go!" Elena said, smiling as she opened the door.

Rufus thought he heard a snicker as he walked out into the entrance to the Healin Lodge.

AN: W00t! This is so fun! Yah, what's gonna happen at Parry Park? What is going on with Marlene and Reno? Do they have some sinister plot? What will happen? Will AVALANCHE enter the scene? Who gave Reno such a retarded idea? Why am I asking you all these questions? Why am I using Spongebob references? Does anyone even care that I'm writing this? Okay, tune in for the next chapter of 'Meltdown'!
