And here's another one! This one is short, but highly amusing. I enjoyed it. Elena is just so easy to poke fun at...know what I mean?

I don't own FF VII or any of her characters.

"Aw, when's the rain going to stop? I want to go see Reno's kid..." Elena was pouting at the window, which showed her the wretched weather. The window had no control over the view it offered, and was horribly saddened that Elena was pouting at it.

"Relax, Elena. I'm sure he'll still be there tomorrow."

"Tseng! Don't you want to meet him too? I mean, a miniature Reno? Who's his mom, anyway?"

"Did it just occur to you to ask that, Elena? I thought your observation skills were better than that." Rufus said, not looking up from his book. They were all relaxing in the lobby, seeing as being together was infinitely more amusing than being alone. At least that was the case for Rufus and Rude. Elena and Tseng would probably amuse themselves alone. Rufus preferred not to think on that idea too much. It was bad enough that he was forced to listen to them from time to time, he had no need to think about it.

"Well, you never told us! And I know she lives here."

"Who do you know that lives in Wutai, that Reno also knows?" Elena paused in thought, one hand on her chin as she entered the realm of deep thought. Rufus started humming the time limit song from a game show as she thought. Tseng cracked a smile, and started humming along.

"HEY! You guys are so mean! Why can't you just tell me who it is?" Elena glared at them both, but mostly at Tseng.

"What fun would that be, Elena?" Rufus inquired, again not looking up from his book.

"Sir, did you enjoy your trip to the tea house, earlier?" Tseng asked, trying to divert the group from aggravating each other needlessly. Reno did that more than enough, they did not need to add to it.

"As a matter of fact, I did. It was quite nice. The owner was particularly wonderful."

"Oh?"

"Yes." Rufus spared Tseng a glance, but it was not a particularly kind one. Conversation dropped at that point. Elena abandoned the window for a seat next to Tseng. Rude remained silently watchful. Rufus continued his reading. The weather suited the book's mood perfectly, seeing as it was a murder mystery. He was at a critical point in the story when Elena broke the silence and his concentration.

"The rain's stopping! Let's go!"

"You won't shut up until we go, will you?"

"Probably not."

"Fine. Let's go."

By the time they were ready to leave, the rain had subsided and was replaced by clouds that still held the threat of rain. Rufus led the way, the Turks following behind him like an entourage. When they arrived at the house, the rain had started again. It was so heavy it obscured the view of the house next door.

"Good thing we got here so soon. We'd be soaked!"

"Thank you, Captain Obvious. Really Elena, your observational skills have improved quite a bit since leaving the inn." Rufus decided to ignore the tongue that she stuck out at him. "Have you guessed who's house this is, yet?"

"NO! I don't keep track of Reno's girlfriend's houses."

Rufus sighed and knocked on the door. The house was quiet, but the door opened after a moment, revealing Yuffie. He smiled at her while Rude nodded. She returned the gesture, transferring her gaze to Tseng and Elena. Tseng's jaw was threatening to fall off. Yuffie giggled at him.

Elena stared at her.

Yuffie smiled.

Elena continued to stare at her. Rufus imagined he could hear the cogs turning in the blond woman's head. The only thing lacking from the next moment was a light bulb coming into existence above Elena's head.

"Oh my GAWD! Yuffie! You had Reno's kid?" Elean yelled, both hands balled into fists under her mouth.

"Ding, ding, ding. Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner."

Told you it was short. And amusing! Hehe. I hope you enjoyed it! Review it! You read it, just review it, mmmkay?
