Chapter 8: Oh, crap…
Rufus looked at Reno with a smile. "Pay up and where's my beer?"
Reno squinted as he reached for his wallet and gave Rufus the 200 gil he betted on. "Lucky rich boy."
"Artificial redhead." Rufus smiled as Reno looked at him, he just dissed the hair. No one… not anyone… disses Reno's hair
"Gel head!" Reno yelled.
"Scrawny weakling!" Rufus got into Reno's face.
"Blonde jerk!" Reno yelled back in Rufus's face.
Everyone but Rufus and Reno rolled their eyes. Here they go again like last week when Rufus paid Reno for finding out the Palmer eats lard in his tea and Reno proved it.
"Electro shocked airhead." Rufus dissed the hair, again…
"Momma's boy!" Reno pointed at Rufus.
"Drunk virgin!" Rufus smiled. Reno ran out of name's to call Rufus and was speechless. "Ha! Got you!"
"How did you know?" Reno yelled.
"Well, I'm lucky with women, you aren't, and you're in love with alcohol." Rufus crossed his arms with a smile on his face.
"JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE DATING ONE OF THE NEW TURKS WHOSE JOB IS YOUR BODYGUARD DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE LUCKY WITH WOMEN PAL!" Reno yelled.
"Boys…" Tseng was rolling his temples with a headache coming from the name-calling. "Play nice."
The two were bickering as they ate cake then Elena did something that no one ever thought would ever happen…
She grabbed Rufus and Reno by their hair and stuck their faces in the cake. "WOULD YOU TWO SHUT UP FOR TWO BLOODY MINUTES!"
Bubbles, Rude and Tseng stared at the blonde who sat back down and crossed her arms. "God why do I have to put up with idiotic men?"
Reno poked his head up, grabbed the spoon to the Mac' and cheese silently, squishing Rufus's face deeper into the cake with muffled screaming, and flung a spoonful of macaroni and cheese at Elena.
Her purple shirt was gooped in cheese as she gave Reno a death glare. Rufus poked his cake covered face up and looked at Elena and laughed. Everyone laughed but Elena.
"Love you too Elena… in a brotherly way…" Reno smiled as bits of cake fell of his face. Elena grabbed a pork chop covered in BBQ sauce and flung it at Reno, which shut his big mouth shut as he laughed.
"Take that you bastard!"
Rude then yelled. "FOOD FIGHT!"
Everyone grabbed something and flung it at each other. Tseng had a champagne bottle shaken up and got everyone with it as Bubbles got Tseng with the ketchup.
Rude smothered Mac' and cheese in Reno's hair as Elena smothered cake in Reno's hair too. Rufus grabbed the BBQ chops and threw them at his own father and Rude.
After half an hour, the table, the walls, and each other, were covered in champagne, BBQ sauce, Mac' and cheese, and cake.
"Well, looks like I gotta take another shower." Tseng laughed. Elena shook her hair as champagne dripped right off. "Yeah me too. My hair now smells like champagne."
Reno looked at Rufus hair and laughed. It was a mess. "I think we all need showers. And hair gel for Rufus here."
"Shut up Reno or you're buying the gel." Rufus smiled. "My girlfriend is going to kill me."
"Bodyguard." Reno corrected.
"Girlfriend!" Rufus yelled.
"Bodyguard!"
"Girlfriend!"
"She's both!" Rude yelled. "End of story!" Then cracked up in laughter with Bubbles who listened into the conversation.
"I never had so much fun Tseng, we should do it again next year." Bubbles laughed. "Last time I had a food fight, it was when Rufus was in diapers."
Tseng laughed. "We'll take it over with Heigg'. Anyways, we can use my shower and I have robes for everyone."
"Huh?" Elena was confused. "Can't we go home and do it?"
Bubble and Tseng looked at each other and laughed. "We're having a sleepover as our clothes are being washed." Tseng laughed.
Reno and Rude looked at Tseng. "You're mad." Reno said as Rufus walked up.
"Aren't we—" Rufus was interrupted as Bubbles raised his hand.
"That's why Tseng and I asked for what shampoo we use." Bubbles laughed. "Don't worry, we have hair gel for you and Reno."
"Never knew it was the same brand." Tseng laughed.
Reno and Rufus looked at each other. They use the same brand of hair gel?
"What brand?" Rufus asked Reno.
"Sexy Slicker Hair Gel." Reno replied.
"Damn!" Rufus cursed. It was true.
Tseng grabbed a towel as everyone laughed in the kitchen. "Well, I'm off—"
"Oh no sir!" Elena smiled.
"What?" Tseng replied.
"Ladies first…" Elena smiled as she snatched the towel and walked into the bathroom. "And if I find a peeping tom, you won't like me because I have a gun with me always."
All the men stared as Elena closed the door to the bathroom
