"Hey, Rude? Elena, here. I'm on a mission, but can you be sure to restock the fridge? We're running out of Jaffa Cakes."

"Rude? Yo, it's Reno. Operation Secret is now in progress. If I die, remember: just burn all of Elena's belonging. I mean all of them. Keep some of my stuff if you like."

Rude just rolled his eyes, but complied with Elena's request. He could always re-enact the lunar cycle to the budding chocobo family if he was truly bored.

And actually, he might just 'borrow' a few things of Reno's stuff…

"Reno? Elena, here – I'm just wondering if you read the post-it notes from Rude? If not, can you buy the latest season of Gossip Girl? Pretty, pretty please? Don't you dare—"

Message deleted.

Post-it notes, post-it notes, wherefore art thou, post-it notes?

Ah-hah!

Buy the Gossip Girl DVDS. Please.

… I'll even make your favourite meal.

Just don't make me go through that endless torture that happened last time.

Reno snorted, and tore the post-it note in the bin. There. All evidence had now been disposed of.

… and there was going to be hell to pay when the both of them got back.

"'Laney, promise me – absolutely promise me that you will not go into my room. And if you do, then don't open the wardrobe. There are plenty of skeletons that you don't want to see. Trust me."

"Elena. Forget everything Reno has told you. He has a huge amount of chocolate stash in there. Open the door, open the closet. Shoot any skeleton with that gun you use."

"What?" Elena blinked, wondering if this was a bet between the two of them, just because they were away.

"Remember those strawberries that you asked me for a while back? Well, this time, I'll get them. Promise. Just stay the hell away from my room."

"Elena, I'm sorry to inform you that Reno is a liar. Enter his room, and I guarantee that you'll get your strawberries."

"Um…" Either way, it seemed that she'd get strawberries. So, maybe… she should flip a coin?

"Seriously, 'Lena! When have I have ever lied to you? Don't answer that."

"Elena, I'm so sorry to also inform you that he has taken your most prized possession. I tried to stop him but—"

The message ended there.

And Elena slowly crept towards Reno's room, unable to shy away from her curiosity, grabbing a pillow as a shield.

The door slowly creaked open.

And, Elena screamed, breaking the windows.

"Yo. Reno and Rude here. Hope you enjoyed our prank. Can you get us marshmallows for our return and make fondue for us?"
