Ugh, I'm writing this chapter for a second time, because when I tried saving, IT DIDN'T FRIGGIN' WORK! (sobs) Anyway, right now I'm trying to remember most of it, and pretend nothing happened at all... grrr. :-( Anyway, at the start it may not have a FFVII character, but that's just a random bit added. This chapter's still about Ruthy (...I have a habit of calling Rufus that xD). :-D Oh, and I was REALLY surprised at how many reviews I got for chapter one! Thank you SO much! Heehee, now on with chappie two! (Oh, and the first bit in this chapter is just for extra humor xD)

Tidus admired his reflection as he stood in front the mirror, flexing his 'muscles'. He winked at the mirror image of himself and gave a goofy grin.

"Hey, Yuna. You. Me- Nyah... Let's see... Oh! Gee, Yuna. You look pretty tired. Need ta rest? 'Cause you've been running through my- Nyah... I think.. ...I'll go get her present and think of those later."

It was five hours before Yuna's twentieth Birthday and everybody had been planning a giant Birthday surprise for her, though not Tidus. He still had two and a half hours until he had to go help set up the giant Birthday surprise.

Tidus turned away from the mirror and ended the eight joyful hours of staring at his own reflection and thinking up his best approach to her. As Tidus gave another wink to himself in the mirror, a series of lame pickup lines ran through his head

Tidus paused as he came into the study room, rubbing his chin as if he was thinking. He still hadn't had thought of a present, nor had he even got one for her. Though, Tidus was going to play it cool and pretend he put his heart and soul into his gift, and act as though it took him FOREVER to find the wonderful gift.

Though, of course, Tidus would put his heart and soul into the gift, because this time, it'll be very special!

Tidus jumped as he thought of the most perfect gift Yuna could ever have.

A photo of Tidus along with his own signature!

"You genius, Tidus..." Tidus mumbled, grinning as he ran into his bedroom to search for some photos.

Besides... Yuna always loved presents that had sentimental value...


"Um... maybe it's here. No... I already checked that twelve times... I swear I had the shrine of me somewhere! ...I bet Yuna will be disappointed... Hmm... What can I say? I know! I'll tell her they're in the wash! Yeah! But... she'll still be disappointed ... Wait a minute!" Tidus collapsed out of his room which had been transformed from a pig sty, to a dump.

He gained his balance and slammed the door happily, prancing towards the computer.

"Rikku said something about everyone's photos being on the internet! Tidus, you genius..." he repeated to himself, even though Rikku had been the one that told him when he was trying to find pictures of Auron, wearing anything BUT his red outfit.

Tidus bounced onto the computer seat and opened a new window to Google. He grinned happily as he searched these keywords:

Tidus hot topless handsome sexy photos

The page loaded and just as Tidus was about to find his wonderful picture... this, came up instead of millions of different photos of him.

Your search -Tidus hot topless handsome sexy photos- did not match any documents.

Suggestions:

-Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
-Try different keywords.
-
Try more general keywords.

Tidus stared at the screen and kept refreshing the page. There was bound to be SOME pictures of him!

But since we all hate Tidus, let's go see what's happening in the ShinRa building...


It was a nice sunny day, and Rufus Shinra had finished his paperwork, so he decided that he could... just wheel over to the window while wearing that grotty cloth of his. The wheelchair he was using was still in top shape, every since he got it, plus the sheet was... well, going well.

He wheeled over to the window, watching as the local people walked by the building, chatting away. And that was when...

THE WIND BLEW OFF RUFUS' ALMIGHTY SHEET!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rufus screamed, trying to reach out for the sheet, which swayed in the wind that all of a sudden, became stronger. But it was no use... the sheet... his beloved sheet... was gone...

How he wished he was psychic...

Rufus groaned in annoyance and made his way back to his desk. And that was when he heard the voices of Reno, Elena and Rude.

"NONONONO! RENO! QUICK! HIT REFRESH!"

"I'M TRYING, I'M TRYING, I'M TRYING, 'LANEY! JUST SHUT YOUR BIG MOUTH!"

"...I think we lost..."

"UGH... RENO! You shouldn't have tried loading that YouTube video at the same time! It slows down the bidding! Don't you know that!"

"OBVIOUSLY NOT!"

"...uh..."

"...BLEH!"

"Stop acting like such a baby, Reno..."

Rufus had had enough and gave a great sigh before wheeling into the office that Reno, Elena and Rude were occupating. The three were crouched around a computer, fighting over something that Rufus had no idea of.

"No... YOU STOP ACT-"

"Enough!" Rufus boomed, glaring at the three.

The three Turks immediately straightened up.

"Uh, Boss, what happen-" Reno cocked an eyebrow and yawned slightly.

"I don't want to talk about it." Rufus pouted like a four year old child who had just had their wollypop taken away from them.

"But anyway, you three are causing a racket, and you're disturbing the other employees." Rufus stated, putting on his know-it-all face. Without a word, the three of them piled out of the office, leaving Rufus in frustration. As Rufus was about to go back to his office, the computer that the Turks had been using caught his eye.

Interested, Rufus headed over to the desk and peeked at the computer.

"E-Bay?" he muttered, staring at the web page. He placed a hand on the mouse and scrolled down the page.

"What is this stuff? Bids? ? Shipping? This... is some sort of auction site? Hmm..."

Rufus typed the keywords 'sheet cloth' into the search engine.

When the page loaded, there was only one match, and it look exactly like Rufus' old sheet... thingy. Rufus grinned stupidly and clicked on the link. Though this was his first time on eBay, he was already getting used to it.

Gee, two minutes on a site, and he's already used to it?

The page loaded up and oddly, Rufus just realized that the name of the item was 'ZOMG! WHEEL CHAIRED MAN FROM AC SHEET! GET IT NOW!' He was confused with that title, but simply ignored it.

The status read this:

ZOMG! WHEEL CHAIRED MAN FROM AC SHEET! GET IT NOW!

All of a sudden, Rufus got all excited, thinking that the 'Rufus' Wife' was just a sudden coincidence. Without thinking, he clicked the 'Place Bid' button, and watched excitedly. The bid would end very quickly, so he had to act fast.

Item title: ZOMG! WHEEL CHAIRED MAN FROM AC SHEET! GET IT NOW!

C O N T I N U E--- You will confirm the next step

Rufus accidentally fiddled with the keyboard, typing the numbers '4673' into the little box. Ironically, he also accidentally hit the 'Enter' key.

He froze, staring at the page.

You are now the highest bidder.

Rufus sighed, deciding to shrug it off. He had enough Gil anyway. Not taking his eyes off of the screen, he hit 'Refresh' and waited. Soon, the page came up, and by the looks of it, someone had outbid him.

Three minutes and thirty-eight seconds left.

He got all competitive as soon as Rufus' Girlfriend placed a bid for $4923.

So, quickly, he clicked the bidding button and bid twice as much.

He refreshed the page.

He outbid her!

Mwahahaha-

He refreshed the page again...

Rufus glared at the screen. There was fifty-two seconds left, and he had to bid $10,000 Gil, or else he may never see a sheet just like his, again...

Click.

Typity-type-type-type.

Click.

Refre-

YAY! He won! And only for $10,000 Gil!

Rufus began dancing uncontrollably, doing Disco-like moves.

"YAY! YUS! UH-HUH! THAT'S RIGHT-" He paused as Reno and Rude walked by the door way, staring at him.

Suddenly, he realized what he was in for.

"BLACKMAIL!" Reno shouted, running madly around the ShinRa building.


So, Reno did get caught, and uh... Rufus got his sheet, and yadayadayada, and everyone had a happy ending!

Ahem, under a few exceptions...


"Oh, crap, yo! I've got a $10,000 Gil bill!"

My sister wanted me to do this idea. xD And yeah, Rufus bid in Reno's eBay account. xD Lolz. Know how Reno was looking at YouTube which made eBay slow down? Well, that has part of what his chapter may be about. :-D Don't know who I should do next. Send requests and ideas people! Um... and review!
