Zack,
I'm really glad you chose to write to me, I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me! I must say I was a bit shocked when the postman said it was form Kalm, I've always wanted to go there. how's Cloud? still antisocial? just bear with him, he has this thing with new people, he'll come around soon. Life's ok here, the business has been a bit dry because football seasons ended and I cant bribe punters with free sports channels anymore. but we're getting by. the kids are fine, thanks for asking! Marlene's starting secondary school soon and Denzel's gotten too big for his uniform so we have to go shopping tomorrow, I'll let you imagine the look of delight on his face when he realized that. it was pretty funny. its quiet here without Cloud. stop laughing I'm serious, it's weird not having you two here. you stayed for such a while last time I'd gotten used to the bathroom being hogged by two grown men preening their hair, (It looks fine by the way!) and muddy boots by the door. hopefully after you two are finished up there you can come and stay a bit longer? the kids always ask about you two, Denzel's even started talking like he wants to be a soldier one day, something I'm not too happy about (not that I'm blaming you or Cloud...much.). urgh i better be wrapping this up, Marlene's looking over my shoulder chirping about some baking i promised her we would do.
stay safe out there and watch out for Cloud, he's too stubborn to ask for help when he needs it. and thanks again for writing., it made my day.
have fun!

Tifa,
I'm so, so so so so so sorry I haven't written back, it's been friggin pandemonium over here. I swear to god I'm retiring early after this. I'm not even gonna try and go into the details with you. apart from that though we're fine, Clouds...being Cloud. yeah yeah, I know you said give him time but still it's so annoying as much as I love the guy. Tifa I said I'd write to you and I did , see I'm a man of my word. (Apart from this one but it doesn't count!) It's our way of knowing you guys are ok back there. cause I worry, no honestly I do. I can see you grinning. it's true, we soldiers are capable of compassion! Cloud does too but he's too much of a grouch to say so. he's currently glaring at me. ha! you should've taken a picture of Denzel's face and sent it with the letter we could do with a bit of cheering up. I used to hate uniform shopping, my mom would always choose the ugliest sweaters and clumpiest shoes, please don't put poor Denzel through that...though you always look nice so i doubt it. awww that's sweet, yeah we miss the place too believe me, I would even sell Cloud for a warm bed and a good burger at this point. I know it's horrible but there's only so much salad a man can take. Funny enough we were talking about taking a long break after this and us all hanging out again. (and FYI I was not preening! I do not preen.) says the woman who won't go out unless she's spent an hour straightening her three foot hair. Yeah that was probably my fault, telling him stories of my epic adventures where i bravely defeat evil. ok seriously stop laughing I can hear it from here! I'm pretty brave! oo yum hope it turns out better then when Cloud and I tried to make dinner! (yeah i will replace those pans at some point...) i promise my next letter will be on time and we should be home soon. of course we're staying safe, we wouldn't do that to you.
yeah, its frickin disneyland. what's not fun about clone monsters!
love Zack xx
