Summary: Rufus has an enlightening first day at school.

Author's notes: A thank-you ficlet for everyone who sent me the Rufus and Dark pics. :D




Rufus Shinra was five years old, and not a 'hip' five, either. He was already starting to realize the other kids in his shamefully expensive private school class were far more worldly than he, and it was only the first day. Angie Matherson even knew where babies came from, because her bunny had kits last week and her mommy explained it to her. Angie then explained it to the class while most of the kids listened in horror.

"I thought the stork brought babies!" said one little girl.

"Nuh-uh," said Angie. "They come out your bum."

"I'm never going poo again!" declared a little boy.

Rufus looked down at the bundle of black fluff he held on his arms, the golden eyes glittering up at him. "Me neither," he whispered to the little beast.

In the next room, he could hear the teacher quietly but heatedly speaking with his father.

"Mr. Shinra how can you expect the boy to go outside and play with the other children in a white suit?"

"I do not expect him to go out and play at all. He is here to get an education, not to waste my money playing games."

"Mr. Shinra how do you expect him to develop social skills if he…?"

"Miss Parker I spent a great deal of money to ensure Rufus is properly educated. Educate him."

Rufus watched his father walked away, feeling only a mild sense of relief as he left. Rufus snuggled his furball. He had named it Dark Nation after his favourite comic book, and had no intention of letting the little animal out of his sight for a moment, lest it disappear as had other cherished things. Meanwhile the dreaded 'baby' conversation was continuing.

"Well how do the babies get into your bum?" asked Janie Cocker.

"The daddy puts it in there," said Angie. "I'm not sure how but it involves lots of hugging with your clothes off."

Rufus said nothing but his eyebrows went up in surprise. Hugging with your clothes…? Wasn't that what Veld had been doing with that new Turk with all the red hair? He looked up, and was relieved to see Veld and the new Turk outside, waiting. Good. He was safe.

Miss Parker came into the room, looking rather upset but still in control of herself. She walked over to Rufus and knelt before him.

"Hi," she said.

He stared at her with huge blue eyes. After a few moments, he said "Hi."

She reached out to pet the bundle of black Rufus held. "And who is this?"

He held his guard hound a little more closely. "Her name is Dark. She's a guard hound, I think that's some kind of kitty."

"I see. Is she your pet?"

"I'm not sure." He meant he wasn't sure she was his, but Miss Parker seemed to misunderstand.

"Well is she being raised to do a job, or does she just lie around and eat and play and sleep in the sun?"

Rufus glanced out the window at the Turks. Veld and the Red Turk were chasing each other, never getting too far from the school, but clearly having fun. He recognized this as a precursor to Naked Hugging, but he was pretty sure they wouldn't do that in the school yard. He wished he was outside with them.

"She does both. She lies around and farts a lot but she's being trained to do a job."

"So she's a working pet."

Rufus nodded. "When she gets big she's gonna guard me. Like them." He pointed out the window at the Turks. Miss Parker smiled wryly.

"I'm sure they're very ferocious."

Rufus managed a small smile. "I like them. And it's okay. Veld always packs an extra suit so if I get dirty then Father never knows."

"Good. I'm glad to hear that. Well then, shall we begin our lessons?"

Rufus nodded, wiping at his eyes with one sleeve, trying to process everything he had learned this morning. Even as Miss Parker wrote on the chalkboard, his little brow was furrowed with deep concentration. So… babies came out your bum, and the cause of babies was Naked Hugging. And he knew Naked Hugging was real because he had caught Veld and the Red Turk doing that one night when he was supposed to be asleep, but Dark had awakened him pouncing on his toes. He had gone looking for a glass of water and found his caretakers twined on the floor like a couple of snakes. He thought they were fighting at first but he soon realized they were laughing. Playing maybe? He had no idea. So he got himself some water and went back to bed. And pets were something that lived with you and played in the sun and ate and slept…

He nodded to himself. Right. He had this sorted. Now to focus on his numbers.

At recess, Angie and Janie asked him if he wanted to play jump-rope, likely as an excuse to see his kitty. Rufus was only too happy to join them. Playing with other children was a rare treat. As they walked outside to the playground, they passed by the watchful forms of the two Turks. Janie stopped to look up at them.

"What are they?" she asked Rufus as she stared up at Veld.

"Pets," declared Rufus with confidence. He then pointed at the Red Turk. "An' I think that one's pregnant."

"COOL! Are you gonna bring the puppies to school?"

"If Father will let me."

The small children went over to jump-rope area, oblivious to the looks the two Turks were giving each other.

"Pets?" said Reno. "We're pets?"

"Never mind that, what's this about you being pregnant with puppies?"

Reno kissed him. "We'll discuss it later. After we decide who does the midnight walkies."
Pets.

HAHAHA! I love a kid's mind! A long time ago I remember some kid talking about sex when an older kid asked them, "do you even know what sex is?" To which the younger kid replied, "I think its when you stick it in the hole and you pee" :rofl:
