Zack opened his eyes and saw nothing...it was pitch black.

"Why is it so dark? I don't like the dark. Did my nightlight blow out? And why did I wake up?? I need my beauty sleep."

Zack took at deep breath...or tried to anyway.

" I can't breathe!! What's wrong with me?! Wait! I'm dying!! OH MY GOSH!! I'M DYING FOR FUCKS SAKE!!"

By now, Zack was beside himself. With his last breath, he called out as loud as he could... "I'M DYING!!" Then he blacked out.

"Zack...you ok? Hey, can you hear me?"

"...hhhmmmmm..."

"He's coming around, he'll be fine. You can all go back to bed now."

"...nnnnnhhhhwhut..."

"Why did he have to do this in the middle of the night?"

"Because he's Zack, that's why."

Zack finally opened his eyes and blinked at the bright light. Then he saw the two faces looking down at him.

"Welcome back to the Land of the Living kiddo."

"Angeal??"



"That's right...dumb-ass."

Zack looked at the person who had just spoken.

"Cloud? What are you doing here?"

"I sleep in the same room as you idiot. Hey, are you sure he's gonna be o.k. Angeal?"

"He'll be fine Cloud." Angeal helped Zack sit up.

"Thanks Angeal. Hey, what happened anyway? The last thing I remember was not being able to breat...ZOH MY GOSH!! YOU GUYS ARE DEAD TOO!!"

Angeal put his hand on Zack's shoulder. "Zack..."

"WHO KILLED YOU!!"

"Zack!"

"IT WAS HOJO WASN'T IT!? THAT NO SON OF A...GLOMP OWW!! GOSH DAMN IT CLOUD, WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT??"

"We're not dead ass hole...now would you PLEASE shut the fu-"

Angeal rolled his eyes. "Cloud, take it easy. He obviously hit his head...hard. Zack, why don't' you just sit there for a second."

"Yeah o.k. fine..." So Zack sat, sulking and nursing the lump on his head.

"Come over here, will ya Cloud."



"Yessir."

Angeal and Cloud stood just out of ear shot of Zack.

" I want you make sure he's alright. Let him sit there for a while, then get him back into bed, o.k.?"

"Yessir, but...why me?"

Angeal smiled down at the young rookie. "Because you're his room-mate."

"Right..."

"Have a good night Cloud. Zack, take it easy!"

"Hey, Angeal?"

"Yes Zack?"

"Am I dead?"

"Goodnight Zack." And with that, Angeal let poor Cloud deal with his stupid room-mate.

"please don't talk to me, please don't say anything. please please ple-"

"Cloud?"

"Yes Zack." Cloud said through clenched teeth.

"Am I dead?"



"No pea-brain. You're not dead."

"Then...what happened?"

"You fell asleep with your pillow over your face. Then you flipped out and screamed bloody murder, woke up half the barracks and really pissed me off. Go back to bed and leave me the hell alone."

"Oh...Hey, Cloud?"

"What, damnit!?"

"How did I end up on the floor?"

sigh "You fell off your bunk, hit me in the face with your flailing arms on the way down and landed on your head. Now, get back into bed and go to sleep. We have exams tomorrow, remember?"

...

"Zack?"

...

"ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzzZZzzz..."

"...or you can just sleep on the floor." Cloud stepped over his sleeping friend and climbed back into bed. " Night buddy..."

"Cloud."

"...i dunno wanna.."



"Hey, Cloud?"

"nnmmmhhh...go away."

"...hey WAKE UP!!"

Zack ripped the covers off his semi-awake friend, pulled his pillow out from under his head and threw it at him.

"What the-? Zack, what the hell are you doing?"

Zack just stood there and blinked at him. "You're gonna be late for breakfast if you don't hurry Spiky."

Cloud looked at his clock...it read 6:57am. Breakfast was at 7:00am.

"MOTHER FUCKER!! WHY DIDN'T YOU GET ME UP SOONER YOU MORON!?" Cloud shouted at his freind as he got dressed.

"Well...you looked cute while you were sleeping and I thought you shoul- mumph Hey! Don't throw stuff...it's not nice!

Cloud glared at Zack while he laced up his boots. "If you ever call me cute again, I'll kill you."

"Sorry...cutie!"

"ZAACKKKK!!"

"Gottagoseeya!!"

And with that, our loveable (sometimes annoying) duo ran down the hall towards the cafeteria...but for two totally different reasons. Xp
