I hate this bit :L I do not own Final Fantasy or any of the Characters(accept Tsubasa and the name of Zack's Mom, mine all mine! MWHAHAHA XD)
Also, if i did own Final Fantasy.... Zack wouldnt be dead! And neither would Genesis, Angeal or Sephiroth! Instead it would be Hojo XD bwhaha
The raven haired woman stood on the very edge of the village, her green eyes glittered with tears. Her mind shifted to a happier time.
"Come out wherever you are!"
There was no reply. The woman looked around concerned and amused by the situation. Never had Zack found such a good hiding place.
"Zackary Fair! C'mon I've been looking forever"
She turned towards a set of steps outside a home where she was certain she had heard giggles.
"Got ya!" She laughed. However when she inspected it more closely she saw that it was in fact just some leaves being swept about by the cool autumn breeze. Where had he got to this time? Gongaga wasn't near normally this quiet with Zack bouncing around.
"AHHHHHHHH!" she turned around to see a black blur coming into her line of sight. She knew it was hers the moment she saw it and caught Zack in her arms.
"Mom that was the longest game of hide and seek ever!"
"Sorry Zack, you're hard to find!" she said gently whilst running her fingers through the little boy's hair.
"Mom when I'm older I want to be a first class SOLDIER!" Zack looked up at his mother with bright green eyes that yearned for that dream to come true.
"Zack you would be the best SOLDIER in the entire world, wanna know why?"
"Why?"
"Cause you would be my SOLDIER!" Zack started giggling.
"Mom, I'll be the bestest SOLDIER ever, for you!"
"C'mon Zack, lets go get an ice-cream" She said with tears stinging the sides of her eyes, tears of happiness that she knew one day they would sting again but for sadness.
She zoned out of that memory when she heard a faint shout in the distance.
"I love you, mom" Zack shouted.
"I love you too Zack!" She shouted after him as he disappeared down the side of the mountain that their small village rested upon.
Her tears turned to sadness as many years ago she knew they would.
2 years later…
A knock at the door could be heard echoing through-out the entire house. A woman with black hair stood up to answer the door.
"Ah, Misaki I have mail for you!"
"Thanks Tsubasa!" she said taking the mail from the postman.
"I'm sure you will enjoy today's mail" he said with a smile before he headed off to the next house. Misaki could only smile back whilst trying to think of what could possibly be waiting for her. Like usual she set the post down on the kitchen table and taking a sip of her herbal tea she found the first letter.
"ShinRa?" she gasped. All manner of thoughts ran through her mind. Was her Zackary dead?
She readied herself for the possible news and found a hand-written letter. It was in Zack's script handwriting.
She breathed a sign of relief as she started reading it.
'Mom, I couldn't have done this without you!
I've become a first class SOLDIER, your first class SOLDIER
Hope I can come around sometime
Love you loads and loads, your first class SOLDIER
Zack
xxxxxx
And for the first time in so long her green emerald eyes were free of tears of sadness and were replaced with shimmering rivers of joy!
"Mom when I'm older I want to be a first class SOLDIER!" Zack looked up at his mother with bright green eyes that yearned for that dream to come true.
"Zack you would be the best SOLDIER in the entire world, wanna know why?"
"Why?"
"Cause you would be my SOLDIER!" Zack started giggling.
"Mom, I'll be the bestest SOLDIER ever, for you!"
