Elena barged into Reno’s room, who was sitting in front of the computer, smoking a cigarette and had some Jack Daniels at his side
“EW! Reno get that off!” Elena yelled, covering her eyes
“Then don’t barge in like that ‘Lena” He turned the chair around, facing her now.
“Listen…Tifa wasn’t feeling so hot when I went to talk to her, so don’t give her a hard time, Ok?”
“That’s funny, she seemed pretty hot the last time I saw her” He said with his usual cocky tone and a smirk on his face.
“Reno! I am serious! Don’t give her any trouble” Elena’s eye caught the sight of Tseng, who she was in love with. “Tseng!”
“…Oh God…” He said under his breath “Yes Elena?” The Wutai Turk turned to her.
“I was thinking, could you make sure Reno isn’t a complete slob around the bar? Tifa isn’t feeling well and”
“She is still an AVALANCHE member, and we have to be careful Elena. Who etherized you to be near her without another Turk?” Tseng glared down at her, wanting an explanation.
“Well…uh….you see…no one Tseng…but why would Tifa harm us? I mean sure she hits really hard, but is she really anything without the others?” Elena said in her defense, moving her arms dramatically as she spoke.
Reno walked out of his room, shutting the door. “Yeah…she can harm us Elena…think before you act Rookie” Reno pushed past Elena, walking down the hall and banging on Rude’s door . “C’mon Baldy! We are all goin’ out for drinks if you didn’t forget!”
Just as Reno was done screaming, Rude opened the door, he looked all clean and had cologne one. Reno stepped back and put his hand up, walking down the hall. “Tryin’ to impress Tiff are we?”
Rude had no reply to that, he just walked down the hall.
“So ‘Lena, why is Tiff so down anyway?” He walked with his hands behind his head, looking up at the ceiling.
“Well…I think its because Cloud left again” Elena walked at Tseng’s side.
“..That no good b*****d…” Reno whispered under his breath, his hand tightening into a fist.
“Reno?” Tseng looked over at him, seeing the sudden mention of Cloud got him angered.
“I am fine dotty, God, why is everyone on my case all of a sudden?” Reno turned his head back, just enough for his greenish blue eyes to peer at them.
“No reason” Truth was, they all read his journal in his computer, and they knew everything.
“Well then stop your bitchin’ and get in the damn car” Reno said, very irritated about the whole ordeal.
They all hopped into the Shinra company truck. Once they got there, Rude kicked Reno out, making him stumble a little. Elena fallowed them, holding Tseng’s hand. The two of them had been going out for a wile, but they liked to keep that information away from the HQ. Reno walked into the bar first, happy as can be with a big cheery smirk on his face. Tifa was in the back, playing with Denzle and Marlene. Marlene and Denzle were underneath a tent made out of blankets. Tifa was putting the finishing touches on the tent, when Reno walked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder.
“You forgot about tonight too? Wow, for once I remembered something.
“Hello to you too Reno. Are the other’s here?” Tifa stood up, walking back over to the bar area.
When Reno passed by the pictures on the wall, he stopped to see one of him. It wasn’t a nice one either. Denzle had drawn it, Tifa punched Reno, giving him a bloody nose. “How lovely” Reno took the picture down and chucked it in the garbage, making sure Tifa didn’t see.
“Hey Tifa”
“…”
“Hiya Tiffy!”
“Hi guys, what’ll it be?” Tifa took out a couple of glasses, waiting for there order.
Reno sat down right in front of Tifa, Rude sat next to him, Elena sat next to Rude, and Tseng sat next to Elena.
“Um…I will have a whiskey” Tseng finally said.
“I will get….just a glass of water” Elena wasn’t big on drinking.
“Well me and baldy will get 5 shots of tequila each” Reno said, hitting some gil on the counter.
Rude looked at Reno, then shrugged and guess they were going to have a drinking contest. Tifa turned and gave Tseng his Whiskey, Elena her water, and Rude and Reno there tequila.
“Ok…one…two…three!” The two started to drink like to tomorrow, Tifa could hardly keep up. They reminded her of the old days, when AVALANCHE was still together. But now it was just like she was alone. Reno got up and walked over to the stereo, he flipped the switch to the radio.
“I dedicate this song…to….TIFA!” It was Me against the World, by Superchick.
Tifa stared blankly as Reno started to dance around drunkenly, the group laughed as he looked around
“What?” Tifa listened to the song, nodding her head to the beat, loving that even though he was drunk, he still knew how to make her laugh.
Marlene walked out from the tent and practically knocked Reno over. “Tifa Tifa!! Dance! C’mon!”
Elena laughed and shot up from her chair and grabbed Tifa’s arms, pulling her over the counter.
“WHOA! What if I don’t want to dance?” Tifa tried to take her arm away, but Marlene was holding onto her as well. She had no choice but to dance.
“Yay!!” Both Marlene and Elena yelled.
They all grabbed pens and pretended they were microphones. They began to dance, twirling, putting there arms up in the air, just fun kind of dancing. When the song ended they all laughed, jumping up and down. “That was fun Tiff, we should do that more often” Elena said, sitting back down with Tseng.
Marlene giggled and hugged Tifa “You never dance! Now I am hyper…where’s the candy?!”
Reno cracked up, throwing her a Kit Kat bar. “Don’t tell anyone I gave it to you”
Marlene giggled and ran back into the tent with Denzle. Tifa was still laughing, pouring Reno and Rude some more shots.
“I hope neither of them is driving tonight” Tifa said, a big smile on her face.
“No, Elena is gonna drive our drunk asses home to Ruffo who is gonna yell at us for staying out so late” Reno added in before taking his 20th shot of tequila.
“You’re right Reno, we should get going before he starts calling our phones.” Tseng stood up, paying a lot more then everything cost. “Go shopping Tifa, don’t stay cooped inside” He smiled and walked up to the door “Come on guys”
Elena fallowed like a good girl and Rude got up, walking out the door. Reno on the other hand, stayed.
“Reno…shouldn’t you go with the others?” Tifa looked at him, thinking he was just drunk from all the tequila.
Reno stared at her for a wile, but an admiring kind of stare. “Oh…right…see you Tiff…don’t let the bastards grind you down” He said with a drunken smile, getting up and walking out the door. Tifa thought about what he said the whole night. She was letting people get to her, just strangers who didn’t even know her told her how to live her life. Its not like she didn’t know how to take care of herself, she just is always caring for others and doing nothing for herself.
“Tifa! You have to read us a bedtime story!” Denzle yelled from the other room.
“Yeah! The one where you went to Gold Saucer and got to be in that play with Cloud!” Marlene said sweetly as she climbed over Denzle to get out of the tent.
“….Coming guys….”
