Sleeping on the Job
0 ReviewsReno is sleeping on the job.
The red hair young man entered the temple, spot of black in a sea of white. His sleeveless black leather jacket had his family symbol on the back and the metal soles of his boots noisily stepped on the white marble floor. But the owner of the temple was a little hard of hearing so he continued to sleep soundly even after the re haired young man sat down in the fluffy plush golden colored mat in from of his throne. "Grandpa Ramuh!" Reno was sure that they must have heard him across the land, but is he didn't yell loud enough his grandfather wouldn't wake up.
Ramuh snapped awake in a similar fashion to his dear friend Gaspar. He stood up for a moment, wondering why his slumber was interrupted, then saw his grandson giving him a curious look. Oh yes, that's right, Reno. Ramuh sad down again his long white robes matched his beard which was long enough to touch the floor. "Ah Reno, how you've grown!" Ramuh's speech always started the same way; Reno knew it all by heart. "Oh day when you turn eighteen, your powers will grow and you will even be able to fly!"
"That sounds great grandpa, I can't wait!" Ramuh had no idea that Reno was actually twenty-five and he had already long since mastered flying.
"Yes, yes." To be young and full of energy, how Ramuh missed that. "Then you can be a hero and work hard for the human race."
"I'm looking forward to it." Ramuh had no idea how much the phrase work hard frightened his grandson. Being a hero was fine, but working hard was not something he wanted to do, so he pretended he wasn't old enough to take the duty yet, because he didn't have the power yet.
"Go on now enjoy your free time before you get busy." Ramuh sent Reno on his way and continued his nap.
Reno exited the temple with the same noisy footsteps he came in with then took off to the skies once outside. Flying was so much fun! In the distance he saw a floating island, Doom Island, home of the sinistrals, they really weren't as bad as the name of their home made it sound. There was no doom waiting for Reno there, he was supposed to meet his family at the floating island's public park. He landed and found his father easily. "Yo!"
Raiden nearly jumped out of hi skin and glared at his mischievous son with lightning in his eyes. "Don't sneak up on me. Has the old man figured out you're skipping out on your duties?" Not the Raiden could speak. He left his father, Ramuh, to take care of dealing with the humans and hardly did anything himself. After a few adventures, he called his duties done and decided to stay in the human world coming to visit occasionally.
"Nope, he thinks I haven' gained my full power yet." And if it was Reno's choice, Ramuh would continue being tricked forever. He just didn't feel like doing that hard work thing, let humans take care of themselves.
"Chibi-Ren!" A woman with long red-pink hair squealed. She was once also a being of that world, but like Raiden she liked to stay in the human world most of the time. Reno didn't get it, this world was more fun for him, though he had to admit he did have fun when he visited his sister and they went out to cause chaos as space pirates. "Call me mommy!"
"Mommy," Reno wasn't sure why, but being called mommy seemed to be the ultimate happiness for his mother, Washu. Not mom or mother, it had to be mommy.
Washu hugged her son as sis the little dolls on her shoulders. "Chibi-Ren, could you do mommy a favor and help her find your sister?"
"Sure," so Reno was given the task of finding his sister Ryoko. That shouldn't be too hard, he would just follow the explosions and find her in no time. She was flying around shooting lasers while Kyone and Mihoshi of the Galactic Guardians tried to make her stop. Mihoshi complained of being tired and Kyone kept telling her to keep chasing Ryoko or they would give everyone a bad impression of the human world. "Ryoko!"
"Hello dear brother! Come on, I want to introduce you to my boyfriend!" without waiting for a reply, Ryoko dragged Reno along, flying away from Kyone and Mihoshi. They landed near a human boy, who seemed to be confused about how in the world he ended up in such a place. "Tenchi! Look, I brought my brother to meet you!"
"Reno!"
"Reno!"
"Reno!" Reno woke up to the sound of Elena yelling in his ear.
"Why did you wake me up? I was having a really weird dream, it was fun." Reno yawned and stretched in his seat. It wouldn't be the first time he fell asleep on the job on a slow day. Rufus did not need to know.
"You shouldn't..." Rude quietly spoke.
Reno was taken by surprise. "I shouldn't? Why are you taking Elena's side?"
"You're frying a helicopter! Don't fall asleep in mid air!" Elena sounded upset about it, which in Reno's opinion was an exaggeration.
"Relax, it's on auto pilot, you're too stressed Elena, probably because you don't get enough sleep." Elena didn't look happy with Reno's answer. She wasn't the mood today to appreciate the ironic humor, because his nap was giving her stress that he claimed she would solve with a nap of her own.
Rude remained quiet and did not comment any further on the situation. That was nothing new since he was usually very quiet. Auto pilot or not, Elena tried to keep Reno awake the rest of the way back to Midgar by talking, but that only made him drift off into slumber land faster, off to the land of strange but fun dreams.
End
Based on a dream I had.
