A/N: Hello all! My comp is all better, so my update feed will be so as well. I wrote this whole entry in dialogue for two reasons: 1) While I'm not a huge fan of writing dialogue, my boyfriend is, so I thought I'd give it a try and 2) it's easier to portray the pair's banter in this type of style. Well, I hope that I didn't screw it up too badly and that you all enjoy!

Disclaimer: Reno, Yuffie, Godo, and movie quotes from Moulin Rouge, Stella, The King and I and Jerry Maguire are not mine. Hope that doesn't matter very much to you all!


Entry # 15: Perfect Blue - Perfection

"Yuff?"

"Yeah?"

"You promise your father isn't going to kill me?"

"Of course not."

"Okay."

"Alright."

"…"

"What now, Reno?"

"I think he's going to hurt me"

"RENO!"

"What! He's your father, Yuffie! With my reputation-"

"Oh jeez, Reno, we've been through this! Get yourself together: you're a Turk. You could take him if it came down to it."

"You think so, babe?"

"I know so, hot shot, so come over here so I can straighten your tie."

"When you'd become so damn domestic?"

"Stuff it, Turkey."

"That's the idea."

"Shut up."

"Do you really think I can take your Dad?"

"Of course, sweetie."

"We both know I can't."

"Lemme boost your ego, hmm?"

"Okay, boost away!"

"You're so charming"

"Obviously."

"Devilishly handsome."

"No pun intended."

"A pain in the ass."

"Naturally."

"Ugh…you're not supposed to agree."

"…why?"

"You're annoying."

"Hey, Yuffie?"

"Hmm?"

"Does he hate me?"

"Who?"

"Don't play dumb."

"…eh, probably."

"Is it cause we eloped?"

"No, I don't think so."

"Is it cause I got you knocked up?"

"You make it sound so romantic."

"Sorry…is it cause he caught me knocking you up?"

"Reno! People can still hear us, you know that? And what is with this goddamn tie?"

"Damn it woman, just rip it off. It's not like I want it."

"No, you have to wear a tie! It's a royal dinner, you idiot!"

"Why then?"

"Why what?"

"Why does he hate me?"

"Reno…"

"I wanna know."

"Ugh. Fine. It's cause you wear blue."

"…what the fuck?"

"Reno, language."

"Old habits die hard."

"Well, I guess sleeping on the couch will become one, huh?"

"Sorry. But I still don't understand. What's he got against blue?"

"He doesn't hate blue – you know what, try this tie- It's that he doesn't trust men in blue."

"Why?"

"You might recall a certain war that killed my country's economy, political might, and overall sense of well-being?"

"…"

"The company that was responsible: they wore blue."

"…"

"You know how you now are currently employed by that company?"

"Yeah, I get it."

"So yeah…that's why. You shouldn't have asked; now you're going to make yourself worried."

"Already am. How do I make him stop?"

"Stop what?"

"Sleeping with my mother. Hating me, Yuffie. How do I make him stop hating me?"

"Easy!"

"I'm all ears."

"Oh don't cross your arms like that; makes you look like a punk."

"You forget who you're talking to."

"True."

"So…?"

"So…? Oh! Be perfect."

"Be perfect?"

"Yes, Reno, be perfect."

"Shit."

"Shit is right."

"So, he's always going to hate me, isn't he?"

"No."

"Why do you say that? From the sound of it, the cards are stacked against me."

"He'll love you because I do."

"Ugh, don't get gushy on me…"

"Love is a many splendid thing, you had me at hello, in these dreams I've loved you so. Steellllllllaaaaaaa!"

"…Hi, Mr. Kisaragi...um, no, I don't know what she's screaming about either."
