I Want To Be A Turk!: Chapter 40

And so the aftermath begins...

Gosh, 4000 words still. I really should cut you guys some slack and write some 3500 word chapters once in a while :p and i did write some shorter chapters later on, just that i always find trouble in reading long chapters, so i try not to make you guys suffer the same. nevertheless, i guess for the sake of this story i HAVE to write long chapters, if not i'll never finish my LONG story.

Yes, i'm worried if i made Meia a little too mopey, though i've seen worse (i'm looking at you, NEW MOON!). i'm trying to make meia concentrate all her efforts into finding things to distract her from thinking about Reno, but i realised that after chapter 45 i kinda didn't talk about it anymore, heheh.

also, the many line-break monster strikes again! XD

again, another kunsel scene. but yes TWA, Meia and Kunsel will never be together, no matter how hard we hope it to be. truthfully, i planned them to be together first, before she realises that she likes reno. but i like kunsel... i don't want him to be thrown aside T_T i did consider a kunselxOC fic too, but no ideas so far, and i doubt there are people who likes kunsel fics XDDDD

Also, at last, an alana (Gun (Female)) scene. i haven't wrote much about her so far but im hoping that when the canon storyline dies down a little (probably after zack dies), i'll focus on the BC turks. for now, it's more of following the canon storyline in BC and CC so most of the scenes (from chapter 44-50) are a reenactment with added scenes, not that i lifted them entirely, okay??

the rude and reno part was my favourite in the chapter, all the scenes. FYI, the scene where reno 'found out' that rude likes tifa was one of the very first scenes that i wrote when i was planning for 'I Want To Be A Turk!', guess you can imagine how excited I am that finally, after 7 months of waiting, I can publish this portion :)

even though it is only stated in canon that Rude admitted that he likes Tifa in FF7 events, i thought it was strange that Rude would only like Tifa after meeting her less than 2-3 times. So hence, i created this scene where Reno and Rude actually meet Tifa waaayyy before FF7 time, so that at least we know that Rude has a crush on Tifs for a long time. Maybe not consistently, but i thought it'll make more sense that he knew Tifa for a substantial amount of time to conclude that she is a good girl to like, rather than 'love at first sight' (because i don't see rude as... that sort XD)

naturally, i gotta make reno so drunk that whatever he pointed out to rude that night was forgotten the next morning, hence removing the discrepancy that Reno was genuinely surprised to hear Rude say that he likes Tifa in FF7. confusing? like what my tutor in college/university says, "try and keep up" :P

also, the last two scenes, where Reno desperately tries to forget Meia by one-night-stands (do people REALLY do that????)... the last portion where you know, Reno ends up in the bar again (because he chickened out) was also another one of those first scenes i wrote before i started 'I want to be a Turk!'... it was heart-breaking to imagine him so, and i hope you guys caught the torture he felt? :)

anyway, another long A/N for you :) things are getting a little more interesting from here, so enjoy the ride :D
