Ok... 2 updates... phew... the next two are short... enjoys!


Chapter 9: Bedtime for the ShinRa

Rude was last for taking showers. He walked into the living room as everyone else was in robes and was watching a chocobo race.

"Anyone else?" Rude asked. Everyone looked at Rude and shook their heads or said no and went back to the race on TV, Rude shrugged and sat down next to Bubbles.

Reno and Rufus were back on betting. But Reno seemed to be winning. "COME ON JERRY!"

"GO! GO! GO TONY!" Rufus yelled. This is very weird to see a man like Rufus who usually yells at everyone in anger when they screwed up and acted so cold would be laughing and smiling when it came to chocobos.

"No wonder why your mother got you that chocobo doll when you were little. What was his name…?" Bubbles sat there and thought.

"Dad…" Rufus frowned and acted like a teenager with his dad embarrassing him in public.

"Twinky! That's it! Twinky!" Bubbles remembered. "You never let go of that chocobo doll. Don't you—"

Rufus had already smacked his forehead and then turned and yelled. "DON'T SAY IT!"

"-- sleep with it?" Bubbles said. "I see it sitting on your bed in your room. And you have a girlfriend who might be sleeping with you soon."

"DAD!" Rufus yelled. Everyone laughed. "She is sleeping with me and she doesn't mind Twinky sleeping with us!"

"Oh! Confessions…" Reno laughed. Rufus frowned then smiled.

"At least I don't dance around my apartment in my boxers singing 'Numa Numa'."

Reno shut right up as everyone laughed. How'd he know he did that? "How did you-!"

Elena held her hand up. "Guilty as charged."

"When!" Reno yelled and pointed to Elena as he stood up.

"When you were in the shower..." Bubbles said. "… and I heard about the accident with Hojo's experiment running loose in my office and who did it!"

Reno went speechless. The only person who knew was…

Rude…

Rude laughed. "You got served Reno."

Reno growled as he jumped on Rude and wrestled on the floor. Rude grabbed Reno and threw him into Rufus.

"And you took half a bottle of the hair gel!" Rufus and Reno were then wrestling on the floor with Rude involved.

"Ack! Help! Anyone?" Reno cried out as Elena, Tseng and Bubbles laughed.

Tseng was laughing. "And I never knew these things."

"Well Tseng, where's the sack?" Bubbles got up and asked. "That food fight almost killed me there."

Tseng got up and got to the door. "This way sir." All the men got up as Elena remained seated. They all followed Tseng to their rooms. Tseng then came back and noticed Elena. "Not sleepy?"

"Yeah." Elena said has she held a cup of hot chocolate. Tseng sat down on the couch next to Elena and drink from his cup of hot chocolate.

"That was fun. It was better then last year." Elena smiled. Tseng shook his head.

"True, never knew Scarlet was allergic to teriyaki sauce." Tseng frowned. "I made a damn good chicken and then find out after eating she was allergic."

"And that Heigg' was a vegetarian. Everyone had something meat but Rude and his chili." Elena looked up.

"Don't mention the chili incident ever again." Tseng asked. "Not one word…"

"Yes sir." Elena gulped on her hot chocolate.

"Well, might as well clean the mess up." Tseng got up with his now, empty cup and headed for the kitchen.

"Wait sir. I started that mess, I should clean it." Elena offered as she got up and bolted after Tseng.

"Well. You don't have to, but… you can help if you like." Tseng rubbed the back of his head as he put the cup in the dishwasher.

After half an hour, the dining area was cleaned up and the dishes were in the dishwasher. Tseng and Elena plopped themselves back on the couch.

"You know something…" Tseng looked at Elena. "That was very good pork chops. What did you…?"

Elena held her hand up. "My little secret."

Tseng smiled. "Why were you so happy this morning anyway?"

"I'm an aunt." Elena smiled. "My sister just had a boy yesterday."

Tseng smiled. "Glad to hear that." He looked at the TV as a romance movie was playing. Tseng and Elena watched it as Tseng started to reach his arm over Elena's shoulders. Elena then 'cuddled' up next to Tseng as they watched.

All of a sudden, and so fast, Elena was scooped up laughing as Tseng carried her to his room with a smile on his face.
