Hi! New story! I haven't been on because of all the exams and on! Now it's over! Yay! ^^

Disclaimer: I own nothing here this time...

I sighed and looked out of the window. It has been 2 years since I joined SOLDIER and trained to be a 1st class. Who am I? My name is Lightning, or rather, Clair. But here, I'm known as Ace Arrow. Why? Because female aren't allow here but I'm not going to allow a stupid rule stop me from becoming a 1st class.

I sat on a chair and sighed again. Suddenly, the door flew open making me fall onto the floor with a loud thud.

"Owww…" I grumbled as I rubbed my sore back.

"Whoops, sorry!" my roommate Lane Sky bowed as a form of apology.

"Lane! How many times must I tell you not to fling the door open?"

Lane shrugged and I sighed.

The director, Lazard, is choosing a few soldiers to join the 1st class and we were waiting for the results. I hope I get chosen.

"By the way Ace, you're hair is so soft and silky. Are you sure you're not a girl?"

I received another shock.

"I'm kidding! Just kidding, you are so easy to fool!"

I growled. Lane usually makes smart comments to make me irritated which always work out perfectly…

"Anyway, have a good night's rest."

"Okay! Goodnight Lane!"

"Goodnight Ace."

The next morning…

I yawned and stretched. I took a quick shower and went down for breakfast.

Lazard was talking with the 1st class soldiers. We just finished breakfast when Lazard made an announcement.

"Good morning soldiers! I hope you had a good rest. Among the 200 entries to register for 1st class, I chose one person to be the fifth 1st class. His name is Ace Arrow!"

I gasped! Me? A 1st class? Wow!

"Will Ace Arrow come on stage?"

I walked up and Lazard whispered to me "You may remove your helmet."

I did and my dyed blonde hair fell back. Everyone stared at me and I started panicking. Lazard smiled.

"This is the face of your new 1st class!"

A loud round of applauds started and I walked off stage. The rest of the 1st class greeted me. They were okay I guess…

"Welcome ta 1st class! I'm Zack! The red-head is Genesis, that's Sephiroth and this is Angeal," a blue-head (you know what I mean) greeted me.

"I'm Clai- I mean, I'm"

"Ace Arrow, nice to meet ya!"

"Nice to meet you too!"

Genesis's eyes met mine but I quickly looked away.

"Ace, you're a-"

"Ace, I see you met the rest of the 1st class," director Lazard nodded approvingly.

"Yes, director."

"Ace, you'll be sharing a room with Genesis. Is that okay with you?"

"Yes, sir."

"Awwwwwwww! No fair! I wanna share my room with Ace!" Zack whined.

"Zack!" Angeal scolded.

"No way!" Sephiroth shouted.

"Ace?" Genesis asked looking at me.

"…" I didn't know what to say.

"Ace is sharing with Genesis and that's final!" director Lazard said as he left.

As we headed for the rooms, Zack kept asking me questions.

"Zack, stop torturing the new guy!" Angeal urged.

When we arrived at the rooms, I rushed inside and slammed the door. Genesis came inside.
