Whee! Sweet, sweet reviews... -begins eating reviews- 0.0 (muffled) Uhm, on with the sh-shtory...

Disclaimer: I don't even own those shweet, shweet reviews I ate.

Reno mumbled as his YouTube video began loading very, very, very slowly. He squinted at the glowing screen and grunted. "Gotta get one of those mega-computers or somethin'..." he mumbled, leaning back while resting his hands on his head. As he was about to get some shut-eye, his computer beeped. Reno jolted up, completely glaring at the machine. "My video's ready alrea- WHAT THE?" Reno stared wide-eyed at the computer, making odd noises. "Oyaahhhh...?"

CONGRATS! YOU'RE COMPUTER HAS BEEN HACKED BY THE ONE AND ONLY ANONYMOUS: SHM! ALL PROCESSES AND PROGRAMS WILL BE SHUTTING DOWN WITHIN ONE MINU-

BLEEP!

Reno began sobbing, hugging himself. As Rude walked by the doorway, he raised an eyebrow as he saw the redhead crying. "...What the...? Reno, look, I was kidding about the 'No more beer' policy-" Reno stuttered as he turned around, falling out of his seat and beginning to beg Rude.

"R-Rude! My dear ol' buddy pal... you'll help me won't you? Y-You will! Because you're my p-pal, and pals do favors for each other..." Reno squeaked slightly, pulling at Rude's foot. Rude, being highly disturbed, tried to get his foot away, looking down at Reno awkwardly. "...What-"

Reno began sobbing uncontrollably now.

"OH, RUDE, YOU GOTTA HELP ME! SOME- SOMETHING VIRUSED MY COMPUTER!"

Rude raised his glasses at the man and coughed. "...Is 'virused' even a-" Reno began glaring at Rude. "...Fine. Tell me or show me what happened." Rude spoke up, gladly freeing his foot from Reno. Reno began thanking Rude, looking as though he was praying to the 'oh-so magnificent god - Rude'. Rude rolled his eyes and grabbed Reno, dragging him towards his computer. Reno pointed at the black screen with the same flashing words as before, looking between his friend and his new enemy - AKA, his computer.

As Rude lifted his shades again, he frowned at the screen. "SHM? Reno, don't you know who-"

"EIKKKKKK! MY COMPUTER!"

Both men spun around, wide alert. "'Lena!" Reno shouted, racing out into the hallway with Rude behind him. As the two crowded into Elena's office, they stared at her. She stared in astonishment at the computer. She turned around with her hands on her cheeks, a stunned face.

"S-Something hacked my computer!" Reno and Rude ran up to the computer and peered at the screen. It read the exact same message as Reno's did. Reno looked back at her and nodded.

"Yeah! That happened to me- wait... since when do YOU like computers?" he asked. Elena tried her best not to blush and decided not to tell Reno that she had been downloading pictures of Tseng.

"Uhm, anyway, w-who do you guys think did it?" she asked.

Reno gave an odd look. "I'm not really-"

Rude shifted uncomfortably and coughed. "...Elena and Reno? ...SHM stand for Silver Haired Men. Reno, even you knew that... right?" Reno and Elena just stared at Rude as if he was some idiot. "...So? What's your point?" Reno raised his eyebrow and waited for Rude's answer. "...Well, Reno. Remember how we fought those guys with silver hair?" They kept staring. "...You know... the uh, time you kept... hitting me in the face with your rod?" Staring again. "...You crushed my glasses..." Blink, blink.

Rude sighed. "When we teamed up with AVALANCHE," Reno thought for a while. "...Huh?" Elena suddenly remembered something about three guys with silver hair and nodded. "Oh! I remember now! Rude, you told me about them while ago! ...Those guys hack?"

Reno continued thinking. Rude and Elena now glared at him. Reno, noticing them looking, looked between them, a stupid smile similar to a fish's (if you can imagine it...). "Oh! Hey guys! What're you doing here?" he asked. Elena and Rude stared at Reno continuously.

Elena coughed. "...Reno? You do remember why you're here, right?" she asked, wondering if her fellow Turk had short-term memory loss. Reno just looked at them dumbly. "Huh? Hey! Why's my computer pink?" he asked, pointing to Elena's pink PC.

Elena and Rude groaned.


After a few drinks to 'refresh' Reno's memory, he nodded. "'Okay, let's go see da prez!" he announced, jumping off the stool. Rude and Elena followed behind, walking. "'Da prez'?" Rude asked. Reno nodded his head. "Eh, Rufus- I mean, da prez wants us to call him that for some reason now. Don't ask me, though if you do, he'll go nuts and throw some weird toy at you." he explained. Elena raised an eyebrow. "Toy-?"

"Don't ask."


As the three Turks slowly opened the door up cautiously, they carefully stepped in. As Rude stepped, he heard something squeak.

Elena, Rude and Reno looked around the president's office and raised their eyebrows. There Rufus was - crouched over a computer - surrounded by many collectables he had won off eBay. Rude lifted his foot up and looked under it, revealing a rather squished 'cuddly bear' toy. The squished face of happiness gave Reno the creeps as he looked at it to.

The three walked over to Rufus' desk, waiting. As Rufus looked up, his eyes were bloodshot from the hours of bidding. Rude coughed as him and Elena pushed Reno forward. "Uhh, Rufus?" Rufus glared. Woops. "Erm, I mean da prez?" Rufus looked back down at his computer, nodding. "Yes, Reno?"

"Well, uhm, 'Lena's and my computer has been hacked by some freaks, so we sorta came to ask if we could have two more." Elena glared. "Reno!" she hissed. "We're not here to ask for more computers!" she continued. Reno looked at her oddly. "Um, then what are we doing...?" She rolled her eyes. "We're gonna hunt down those silver haired guys!" she explained. Reno and Rude stared at her with wide eyes.

"Huh?" Rude asked.

"Oryaahhh?" Reno... asked.

Elena huffed in frustration. "Ruf-I mean, da prez, we're going to need to borrow the chopper for-" Rufus' head went up. "What? No, you can't. The chopper's... in repairs,"

"But-"

"No more 'buts'! Anyway, I'm busy bidding!" Rufus continued typing as the three Turks sighed. Reno, Elena and Rude began to walk out, though stopped when they heard da prez- erm, I mean Rufus scream. They all spun around, staring.

Rufus stood up, grabbing his gun.

"Well? What are you three staring for? Let's go... whatever you said. Elena, you lead!" Rufus commanded, standing out of his... chair. He walked over towards them and nodded. The three looked between each other before nodding and hurrying out.


Meanwhile...

Cloud hummed happily as he typed at the computer, only being happy because he finally got a job at... designing dresses. It had been the only available job that pays 'big bux', plus, after experiencing... wearing a dress, Cloud felt like giving it a go. He blinked at the screen.

You have received a message from: im2sexy(a)midmail.gar

Cloud raised an eyebrow and clicked on the link.

hey cloudie. as much as i didn't want to, rufus made me send you this message about those shm guys coming back. they're hacking the computer system thingies, tho i think theyre also here for one more reason. cya, Reno. PS: I think that aerith or aeris chick is back or somthin. rufus said somethin about his 'calculations' that she's back somehow and the shm are after her.

Cloud's jaw dropped.

So it had worked!

Aeris was back!

...But then the SHM are back...

Cloud tried not to put his love-puppy face on, and instead, his serious one. He went through his suit case nearby and grabbed his good ol' Buster Sword, accidentally sighing contentedly. He put his grip on it before running out, into... um, somewhere to search for the SHM. ...And well, try and kill them.

Um, odd... chapter. Um, also, sorry for not updating in a while. I've gotten SO much homework lately, plus, two other stories to update (with one new one in current progress which isn't exactly online), so... um, yeah. Hope you like this sort of Reno.. chapter. Um, and review! ...I guess.
