For some reason, today of all days, Commander Genesis Rhapsodos had a very uneasy feeling. It was as if an inner instinct was trying to warn him that today something very bad would happen.
He really should have listened to that little gut feeling instead of going into the lion's cave known as the Shinra building.
" Why must you insist on coming to work so early, Angeal? Not all of us have the gift of being a morning person." The redhead complained as he sipped dark coffee.
His raven haired companion smiled. " Nothing like a walk to work to freshen up your day!"
The redhead grimaced. " The puppy must be getting to you." he said as they walked up the steps leading up to the Shinra building.
That's when he noticed that there were many females sitting in the lobby and one of them caught his eye.
She was wearing a particularly interesting shirt that said-
" Oh no." Genesis said as he gave his best friend, Angeal, the death glare. The last time they had allowed fan girls in the building was when they needed secretaries. " You aren't serious?" he hissed.
Angeal gave a shrug. " Lazard thought that you might need help with paperwork and all that. Besides you're the only first class who doesn't have secretary."
" If I'm not mistaken, neither you, nor Sephiroth have secretaries." Genesis retorted.
Angeal sighed. " Well that's because we don't get behind in our paperwork."
Genesis rolled his eyes. " I still don't need a secretary." he looked at the teenage girl proudly wearing a shirt that stated she was with the Loveless book club, one of his two fan clubs. " Besides, can you at least make sure none of the applicants are insane?"
Angeal looked at the girl Genesis was eyeing so distastefully. " She can't be that bad."
The words were barely out of his mouth when the fan girl took notice of the redheaded god that stood at the door.
" OhmyGenesis! It's him!" She squealed and in less than three seconds several more Loveless girls had appeared.
Genesis' eyes widened and without hesitation he ran down the Shinra steps, dropping his coffee.
" Oh no, you aren't going anywhere." Angeal said as he tried to a hold on Genesis.
" Let me go!" Genesis yelled determinedly. He almost got out of Angeal's grip but then the famous General Sephiroth stepped in and helped retrain the fleeing redhead.
Between both firsts, they managed to get Genesis inside the building and into an elevator.
" I thought you were my friends." The captive commander said sulking.
Angeal smiled. " We are. Believe me, this is good for you."
Genesis looked at Sephiroth who was busy trying to keep a stoic face. " Don't you dare." He said threateningly.
" Wouldn't even dream of it." The silver haired man said with a small chuckle as they arrived to their destination.
Genesis sighed. Today was not looking to be a very good day.
" Hello my name is-" The young woman looking at herself in the mirror stopped and shook her head. " No, too perky." She muttered to herself.
" Hello," she tried again. " My name is Alexia Jo-" She stopped herself as a young woman walked into the bathroom.
The other woman looked at her like she was insane. Joanna stared down at the sink and washed her hands for the twelfth time.
" Ok, nothing to worry about." She whispered as she tried to calm her nerves down. " You just have to blow them away during the interview." She sighed as she checked herself in the mirror.
You can't screw this up, a little voice in her mind told her, it's your last chance.
Joanna groaned and tried to not let her nerves get the best of her as she walked out of the bathroom.
Come on Gaia! Send me some sort of sign that you love me!
If only she had known….
Genesis poked his head out of his office, prepared to fight anyone who got in his way, namely obsessive fan girls. He slowly and quietly got out of his office and made a dash for the elevators.
Success!
He smiled smugly as he went down. Now he could just relax in his apartment, far far away
from the bratty and immature fan girls. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out Loveless and turned to a random page.
The elevator dinged to show he was in the lobby and the doors opened. He walked out with his head still in the book and didn't notice he was on a collision course with someone.
" OW!" The cry was then followed by a loud thump and he found himself on the floor with a brunette on top of him.
" Jeez, watch where you're going!" The brunette cried indignantly as she got off of him.
" Why should I be more cautious when it is you who clearly should pay more attention?" he retorted and stood up.
The young woman rolled her hazel eyes. " Moron." She muttered and kept walking toward the elevator.
Genesis shrugged and that's when he saw that his collision with the brunette hadn't gone unnoticed. In fact there were about a dozen of wide and shiny eyes looking at him. Those
were the eyes of the rabid fan girls.
Before they could start their annoyingly high pitched squealing he turned around and bolted for the elevator.
Yes! There was still one elevator there!
He ran in and saw that the doors close right in front of the disappointed fan girls' faces. He smiled and sighed. Then he heard a small tapping sound.
Genesis saw the same brunette giving him a glare and tapping her foot impatiently. They glared at each other for a few seconds.
" Who are you?" She finally asked.
He smiled the same charming smile that had captivated so many girls. " Who do you think I am?"
To his satisfaction, the brunette rolled her eyes. It was rather entertaining to see her so frustrated. That's when he noticed that she was fiddling with her hands. Maybe she wasn't frustrated, he thought.
" What's your name?" he asked wanting to be polite. After all, that was something his mother had always taught him.
She gave him another glare. " What's it to you?" She replied.
He shrugged and went back to blankly staring at the door.
After a few uncomfortable seconds she replied. " Joanna." She whispered barely audibly.
Before he could respond the elevator dinged and Joanna walked towards the door. " It's been a pleasure meeting you." he said smoothly as she walked out.
She smiled slightly. " It was actually rather painful." She said and the door closed again.
He smiled back and soon he was at his floor. He went back to his office only to find Angeal and Sephiroth on the couch.
" Is there something you need help with?" he asked
" Interviews for your future secretaries, now." The silver haired general said as he got off of the couch.
Genesis glared. " I already made myself very clear! Under no circumstances am I getting a secretary!"
Angeal sighed. " Look, Genesis just go there listen to what some of them have to say or even better just close your eyes and point to a random person, but just go and get a secretary!"
" And please don't make her quit after the first few days." Sephiroth put in. " Or worse, make her go insane."
Genesis smirked. " I really can not promise that." He said as the three firsts walked out of the office.
Joanna bit her lip, fiddled with her hands and sent a silent prayer to the Goddess and Gaia. Ok, nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about. She repeated to herself. She noticed that many of the applicants were wearing red and a couple of them had shirts that said Loveless.
She frowned. Loveless…..that sort of rang a bell.
Joanna turned to the closest girl next to her and saw that she was busy applying makeup and muttering something about red.
"Ummm…excuse me?" Joanna asked quietly and the other woman turned to look at her.
" Yes." The blonde asked as she finished putting eye shadow and blush.
" This is the interview for potential secretaries right?"
The blond nodded slowly and looked at her like she was a moron.
" So who are we going to be secretaries for?" Joanna asked.
The blonde's eyebrow's shot up. " You're kidding right?" She asked. " It's so obvious it's-"
At that moment there was a squeal from one of the girls and three tall Soldiers came in. One of them had long silver hair and dazzling green eyes. The one next to him had raven black hair and carried an impressive broadsword. The last one walked in and was dressed in red and black and had a charming smile. He had auburn hair and bright aqua blue eyes.
" Oh….shit." Joanna whispered. Gee thanks Gaia, she muttered in her head. Yup, her potential new boss was the same jerk she had crashed into and called a moron.
Fuck my life, she thought. There was no way she was going to get this job now.
Wow! First chapter of 100 moments with you. The first part is basically a retelling of 500 days of Genesis but with much more detail and isn't in the diary format. So please review and tell me what you think- Yay, or Nay.
