Chapter 1. Bad mood
Lately, Zack was in a very bad mood. His buddy, Cloud, had been summoned to another dimension. To save the world, again. Aerith had told him with a very serious face and a gentle but firm voice. So, it must be true.
Nevertheless, this fact didn't make him feel better at all. Really.
As urgently as a dying Goddess needed some heroes to save her world, she'd better ask the blond first, not suddenly grasp him with her goddamn light. Gaia, he almost had had a heart-attack to see Cloud- one second ago still standing on the hill- vanished into thin air the next moment.
Besides, it was just unfair! Maybe he sounded selfish, but, why Cloud? Why couldn't this whole hero-to-save-the-world business leave his chocobo friend alone for a while? For the God's sake, the blond had done too much to deserve having a lot of peaceful time for the end of his life. Not to engaging some endless battles !
But the most frustrating thing was he couldn't do anything but wait until Cloud came back. His mood swung furiously from anxiety to hidden fury, and then worry before returned back to anxiety… He hoped and silently prayed for his friend, because as powerful as Cloud was, it seemed that Lady Luck always liked to tease him.
The only good thing, he told himself,is Cloud needn't fight Sephiroth one more time to save the world.

Oh, how wrong he was…
