Seventh Heaven
Chapter Three
Last Night At The Gold Saucer
Yesterday Rufus brought Tifa to the Gold Saucer; he figured she needed some time to enjoy herself after her blowup with Barret. Tifa was asleep in her bed, Rufus ruffled her hair and she woke up.
"Morning," Tifa said yawning.
"Good morning." Rufus said back. He kissed her on the forehead and walked into the bathroom. Tifa got out of bed and put on a black t-shirt and a pair of shorts. Rufus came out of the bathroom and went outside to make a call as Tifa approached the mirror, her hair was a mess, and Rufus must have ruffled it a little too hard. She just finished brushing her hair as Rufus walked back into their room.
"Can you remember what happened last night?" Rufus asked.
"My memory's a little hazy, I'm still half asleep." Tifa answered.
"Oh, I was hoping you could explain why there's a pile of rice outside our room."
"Let me see!" Tifa yelled as she ran outside.
Rufus wasn't joking. Rice was scattered all around the floor outside their hotel room.
"Do you think it was a prank?" Rufus asked.
"I doubt it, if it was a prank then then it wouldn't be rice." Tifa said. Tifa turned her head; she heard footsteps coming from down the hall. It was Dio the owner of the Gold Saucer.
"There's the happy couple!" he said happily. Tifa and Rufus looked at each other, they were happy, but they didn't know how he knew.
"Hey Dio, do you mind if I asked you a few questions?"
"Not at all," he said.
Dio sat at the table; Rufus was seated across from him.
"So what do you want to ask me?" Dio asked.
"Just wait until Tifa comes out of the bathroom." Rufus said. Tifa walked out of the bathroom, she yawned and took the seat next to Rufus.
"Do you have any idea what happened last night?" Rufus asked.
"Well…you two walked into the park and showed the man at the entrance the lifetime pass." Dio began.
"I meant what happened that caused the large amount of rice outside our room." Rufus clarified.
"Oh I see," Dio said, "well the two of you just got off of the gondola and went towards the event square. By the time you got there, there was this couple getting eloped. After they were done Cait Sith approached the two of you…" Dio told the two.
"You're not saying…" Rufus said horrified.
"Yes, Cait Sith performed a ceremony and you two got eloped." Dio said.
"Wait so that rice…?" Tifa began to ask.
"Cait Sith followed the two of you back to your room and was throwing rice at both of you." Dio told them, "It was quite comical," he said with a chuckle.
"How come we don't remember any of this?" Rufus asked.
"Actually it's coming back to me now." Tifa spoke up. "I remember the gondola ride and I remember Cait Sith marrying us." Tifa confessed.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Rufus asked angrily.
"I wasn't sure if it was a crazy dream I had." Tifa said.
"Well she remembers." Rufus said, "how come I don't?"
"You got drunk off the champagne." Dio said.
"I bet you don't remember getting the tattoo either?" Tifa asked.
"What tattoo?" Rufus asked panicking.
"You got a tattoo on your ass." Tifa giggled.
"What is it? What is it?" Rufus asked panicking even more.
"It says 'Tifa's Bitch.'" Tifa said in a fit of laughter. Rufus ran into the bathroom.
"Did he really get 'Tifa's Bitch' tattooed on his ass?" Dio asked.
"Yup, but there was more." Tifa said still giggling.
"What else did it say?" Dio asked curiously.
"It also says 'I'm a Moogle kupo!'" Tifa burst out in laughter, Dio couldn't help but join in, he never expected that Rufus ShinRa would get an embarrassing tattoo on his rear, as they were laughing uncontrollably Rufus walked back in.
"Remind me to get the tattoos removed." Rufus said trying to keep his composure. "Did anything else happen?" he asked, "Any other tattoos I should know about?"
"No other tattoos, but you did fall off of a chocobo during the chocobo race." Dio said.
"DAMMIT!" Rufus yelled slamming his hand on the table.
"Now if you'll excuse me there's a tournament at battle square." Dio said. He waved goodbye and ran out of the room.
"What are we going to do?" Tifa asked Rufus.
"Well, I guess we could give being a married couple a try, after all my mom's always bugging me about getting a wife." Rufus said with a sigh.
"I guess." Tifa said.
"By the way, how much did you drink last night?" Rufus asked Tifa.
"I just had some water." Tifa said, "Why?"
"No reason, I was wondering if you were hung over too." Rufus said, "You seemed pretty sick last night."
"It was probably the Gondola ride." Tifa speculated.
"Okay…"
