I went skipping back to the mansion after spending a morning with Tifa, and to make everything better, I saw Rufus leaving.
     "Hey Sephiroth!" Rufus yelled at me while walking angrily toward me, "What the hell!? Don't think I didn't see you. You were helping Tifa move in!"
     "Well, yeah," I replied smoothly. "Wouldn't you?"
     "No! Of course not! You don't want her moving here! Do you know the publicity she gets!? This city will become a metropolis! You'll never be able to walk around town in your underwear with that many people around! The bar will be packed from now on! You'll never get a seat! And your mother will be -" Rufus glanced down at my right hand. "Are those her panties you got there?"
     "I didn't think she'd mind," I replied. Boy I didn't think one comment could be so wrong.
     "Sephiroth! You give me back my panties!"
     I spun around to see Tifa marching angrily towards Rufus and I, and wouldn't you know it, Mother was marching right beside her.
     Oooh, Sephy, you're in trouble now! Tiffany told on you!
     Tiffany was still inside. Tiffany the scapegoat was in trouble again. Too bad I was lost in my interior monologue and didn't notice that Tifa had those strange lights shooting out below her. And here I was thinking we had all lost any special abilities like limit breaks. How wrong I was.
     "BEAT RUSH!" Tifa ran forward and slugged me really hard in places I'd rather not mention. "Dammit! You got lucky Sephiroth. Lucky I missed the rest of my limit breaks. Damn limit slot wheels... What're the odds?"
It didn't matter. I couldn't take another hit there, and I know that's where she was aiming. Tifa grabbed the panties out of my hand and sulked back to her house. I also limped back to my house alone since Rufus and Mother were too busy laughing. I opened the door and fell in...again. Now I'm stuck at the bottom of a cement hole in my boxers holding myself from the pain Tifa inflicted on me. Mother took a picture, and Rufus was rushed to the hospital because he was laughing too hard and couldn't breathe. Well, at least that got Rufus out of the house.
