Zack and The Glass Door
There was one building in Midgar that was supposedly the most splendid and the most refined, Shinra head quarters. With its opulent marble lobby and grand stair case swathed in magnificent carpets, it was held in high esteem by booth interior decorators and tourists alike. There one problem in the building, a problem that only became apparent in the presence of a particular catalyst: Soldier second class Zack Fair. This is an account of his first encounter with the ingenious glass door.
A loud beeping ripped Zack away from his very comfortable sleep, and threw him into the harsh reality of morning. Along with a large majority of the world, Zack did not enjoy mornings and many out there will understand why he threw his alarm clock at the wall on this particular Monday and then turned around.
"Zack, get up!" A voice called threw his door, followed by sounds of fists banging against the metal of the door, "Zack!" With a groan, Zack turned to face the door and glared at it, like a cat glaring at that irritating mouse that was taunting the poor beast.
"What?!" Zack finally yelled as the banging became more insistent.
"We have inspection in forty five minutes and Angeal said he'd made to assist in Hojo's lab if you were late again!" the voice of his comrade, Kunsel shouted back at him insistently. With the threat of Hojo over his head, Zack yanked himself out of bed and pulled open the door, to face an all to perky Kunsel.
"Morning Zack," he greeted giving Zack a smile. Ugh. Morning people.
"I hate you." With that greeting, Zack shuffled into the bathroom and dressed as fast his lethargic body would allow, and then gratefully chugged the coffee Kunsel had brought him. Feeling slightly more alert, Zack now stopped glaring and followed Kunsel down to the main hall for a quick breakfast and then inspection. By the time he had his third cup of coffee, Zack was feeling back to his regular non violent self. Coffee also has another unfortunate side effect, and so, five minutes before inspection was supposed to take place, Zack heard the call of nature, and not just a small echo, but a full fledged scream.
"Do you think I can make it to bathroom and back?"
"You've got four minutes," Kunsel replied. With a quick nod, Zack bolted out of the hall and threw the glass door without incident as it was propped open. As he sprinted down the hallway, he actually passed Angeal, who didn't even have time to reprimand his spiky haired apprentice.
"Three and a half minutes Zack!" he yelled instead to his disappearing young puppy. With the clock ticking, Zack was out of the bathroom in three minutes. With less than sixty seconds to spare, Zack started running; according to a poor secretary who was run over, there was a blur of black hair that sprinted down the hallway. His target was in sight, and he had twenty seconds to spare and witnesses swear what happened next was the flat out most ridiculous thing anyone had ever conceived.
"Zack the door!" Kunsel's warning went unheard, as the soldier second class ran face first into the bullet proof glass and bounced into the opposing wall and finally flopped dejectedly onto the floor. Silence filled the hallway, and was followed by the distinct sound of laughter.
"You alive?" Kunsel asked in between loud cackles. A groan was Zack's answer.
"Clotheslined by a door?" Sephiroth was floating by serenely with Genesis, and looked at the puppy with amusement.
"Pity," Genesis replied, looking ready to join the laughter around him, "Angeal, perhaps your apprentice requires some assistance."
"No, but Hojo does," Angeal replied. For the benefit of his puppy, he didn't laugh, and settled for a more then amused glance. A second groan was emitted from the lump on he floor.
In the Lab:
"Ah little Zachary!" Hojo smirked, clearly word of Zack's encounter with the door spread fast, the entire lab was eyeing him with amusement.
"What d'you want me to do?" Zack asked dejectedly.
"Filing," Hojo indicated to the stack of papers next to him. with a sigh, Zack started. Grumbling under his breath, he yanked open the first file drawer. He was a soldier, part of an elite class of warriors, sworn to do battle against the strongest of foes, and in the toughest of situations...and he was filing. With a loud growl, he slammed the first file shut and started on the second. Somehow, a glass door had out smarted him. A glass door of pure evil no doubt.
"That stupid door," he cursed with every fibre of his mako enhanced being, and in his oh so diabolical mind cogs started to turn. That door shall pay.
