I woke up, got out of bed, grabbed the fire-blanket, and smothered Aeris. I'll bet she'd have never guessed she'd be the location of Find the Fire. I found Mother in the family room, Sonic was on TV, but Mother wasn't watching, just listening. Mother was playing on her laptop.
     I'm not playing on my laptop. I'm doing research for my theme park. Dio said I can design the things in my park, so I'm doing some research.
     "Research, eh?" I looked at the screen. "Since when is Roller Coaster Tycoon research?"
     I am researching how to build certain rides.
     I left Mother to her "research" and headed out to the Seventh Heaven. I hadn't been there in awhile, and I missed the place. I didn't even know if Tifa worked there or not. I grabbed my jacket and headed out the door and ran smack into whatever tiny creature was in my way, but not in my line of vision. I looked down and saw Rufus collapsed on my doorstep next to some luggage.
     "Don't tell me," I said watching him stand up unassisted, "you want to move in too."
     He nodded.
     "I'll think about it. Leave your stuff here and come with me to the Seventh Heaven. We'll talk."
     I walked to the Seventh Heaven, followed by Rufus. I was greeted by Heidi at the door.
     "Welcome back," she said.
     "Hi Heidi," I said. "Why're you greeting people at the door now? You were at the bar before."
     "Well, Tifa came to town and she's making all sorts of changes. She's putting in a second story and a whole bunch of tables. She's like, turning the whole place into a restaurant/bar and today I'm greeting the people. So, is it just the two of you?"
     I'd completely forgotten about Rufus. "Yeah, just us two."
     "Okay, well, sit in that corner booth. We'll get over to serving you when we can."
     I wasn't too happy with the way the Seventh Heaven was going. I didn't want a restaurant like this. Hell, it's already busy in here and it's eight in the morning! Still, they might serve breakfast, so that could be good.
     "So Rufus," I said, "what the hell are you doing here?"
     "You invited me to come with you," he said.
     "No no no. Not why are you here. Why do you want to move in?"
     "Oh. The large one kicked me out. Said something about not being able to find his credit cards and blaming me. So now I'm here. I come bearing gifts though. See, he still can't find his credit cards, but I can."
     This was enough talk for me. He's in as long as he builds his own room into the house 'cause he ain't sleeping with me. We got a group picture with all the girls (including Tifa) and headed home. There were already construction workers adding on the new room. I guess he called before I even said yes, but I didn't care. He's rich. We walked in and saw Mother and Aeris playing computer-
     Research.
     Right. Researching on the computer. Rufus was inspecting the recently sealed hole, tapping it with his foot and eventually jumping up and down on it before continuing into the house.
     Hey Sephy. This ride won't work. Why not?
     "Well Mother, you have a gigantic gap in the track."
     It's the Speed: the Ride, ride. It needs a gap.
     "No, Mother. No giant gaps in rides."
     Well then, what about this ride? Nobody will go on it.
     "That's because it gets up to fourteen-thousand miles per hour. I don't know why that ride doesn't catch on fire."
     Catch on fire? That's a great idea for a ride. Backdraft: the Ride.
     "Mother? Did any of these movie companies endorse your park?"
     Well, no, but they will.
     "I'm gonna have to look at your park before it opens... wait. Is that what the real park is going to look like?" I just noticed the overall view of the park. She was squeezing thousands of rides into a very small area. I need to call Dio. She may be getting tons of money for this, but the lawsuits will make us bankrupt, even with Rufus living here.
