Rooming With Reno
Star Shadow and Dark Stratos
Chapter Four

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

Elena twitched in her room. She did not want to know. She did not want to know. She did not want to—

Thunk!

"Woohoo! Yes!"

Okay, so maybe she did want to know, but she certainly didn't need to know. Maybe she should just peek into Reno's room to see just want the read-head was doing…

No! She mentally berated herself. Think about the pen fiasco. Remember the pencil.

Taking deep calming breaths, Elena lay in her bed trying to ignore the loud sound against her wall. Just what was he…? No! She refused to even ask herself. She did not want to know what he was throwing at the wall, no matter how humorous or stupid it would seem in the end.

Thunk!

"Aw! I was so close too!"

Thunkthunk!

Elena refused to acknowledge the sound. It didn't exist. She flat out refused to—

Thunk!

Plop…

"Alright!"

A piece of plaster from the wall fell on her face. She couldn't help it. She asked.

"Just what the hell is he doing in that room!?" she hissed to herself.

Grabbing her robe and sliding regretfully from her bed, she opened her door. The hall was dark. The only light in the relatively small hall was coming from under the door of the cheering man's room.

Gulping, she griped the doorknob. She opened the door.

Thunk!

"Yes!" Reno laughed. "I got it!"

Elena looked at him, keeping all traces of fear off her face while trying to desperately ignore the pile of pens that took up one corner of his room. Absently, she noted that it was only half the size it had been during his last fit of insanity. Across from the grinning redhead was the formerly white wall that separated their rooms. Now though, it looked quite a bit more like Swiss cheese. That wasn't what scared her though. What scared her were the throwing darts in Reno's hands.

"Reno?"

"Hi Elena!" he smiled beatifically as he threw another dart at the wall. He scowled.

"Are you alright?" she asked, plastering a smile to her face.

"No. Can't you see that I missed?"

"Missed?"

"The target!" Reno replied, looking slightly exasperated.

"What target? I don't see a target."

"Are you blind?"

"No, but I do see a rather large amount of holes in the wall."

Reno threw another dart. It went into the wall right beside Elena's head. His bottom lip stuck out. "I can't hit the bull's eye. You're in the way!"

Elena twitched in anger and fear. What was wrong with the man!? Didn't she used to admire this person? Why was he aiming at something that wasn't there!?

"Reno," she said in a placating voice, trying to calm her nerves and her temper. "I think you should put the darts away for now."

"Just a few more?" he whined. "Please?"

Elena leaned against the wall, hand massaging her temples. She nodded know that it would be the fastest way to make him stop.

"Yes!"

Elena opened her eyes at his cheer. She wished she hadn't. Reno was holding two handfuls out darts like a knife thrower at a circus. His arms were crossed over his chest and his head was bowed. He looked up at her, eyes flashing, and then he threw the darts… at her… without really taking the time to aim properly.

She shrieked.

Thunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunk!

Thunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunk!

Reno smiled and turned off his lights. He pulled off his shirt and put on a pair of pajama bottoms. Climbing into bed, he smiled again. "G'night, Elena."

Elena said nothing. She gaped at him. She was being held to the wall by the multitude of darts going through her robe and most of the way through the wall. She wasn't even touching the floor. Thankfully, she wasn't bleeding, but that didn't keep her from her shock.

What? How did he--? When did he--?

Elena couldn't get down for the rest of the night.
