It was a bright and sunshine-y day in Midgar. The birds were singing songs of joy and love, and everyone was happy. Then reality grabbed a hold of this story and told the real, not sugar coated, truth.
Midgar was dark and gloomy as usual. It always looked like night-time there. The pollution was extra thick that day. But not only was the pollution a problem, but this never-ending rain that kept coming down by the bucket loads.
Sometimes due to horrid weather conditions, SOLDIERs would be given a few days (depending on the number of days the storm lasted) off because the company ran out of useless errands to send them on.
Today was one of those days. Genesis Rhapsodos sat in his shared first-class apartment, looking out the window, watching the rain bounce off the hideous buildings. To say he was bored would be a dangerous understatement. He had already recited his precious LOVELESS until Sephiroth's ear bled, sparred with Sephiroth and Angeal, tormented the Seconds and Thirds, made a Cadet cry, and blown stuff up at random. Director Lazard had finally had enough of Genesis and had instructed Angeal to keep the fiery poet in the apartment.
"'Geal, I'm bored." First-Class Genesis Rhapsodos declared.
"Good for you." Angeal replied, not looking up from his garden magazine.
"Where's Seph?"
"The computer room. I believe he had some paperwork to do."
"Gah!" Genesis threw his hands in the air dramatically.
When everything seemed so bleak for the bored red leather-clad man, there was a knock on the door. Angeal answered the door to find his student, Zackary Fair standing outside.
"Hey Angeal! Can I come in? I have nothing to do. I already did a simulation, watched the researchers produce new materia, ran through the TURK floor singing songs, flirted with all of the secretaries, and set Hojo's latest experiment on fire! So Lazard sent me to you." The Puppy, as the trio of Firsts referred to him, was in all his shining-energized glory.
Angeal couldn't think of anything for Zack to do besides more training. The stoic man went to ask Sephiroth if he knew of anything the restless Second could do.
When Zack sat down on the red leather couch next to Genesis, the older man almost told him to get lost. But…instead he got up and went to the kitchen.
"Zack…I have a present for you." Genesis said.
Zack should've expected what happened next, after seeing the aftermath of Rhapsodos's earlier escapades. But the poor Puppy didn't until it was too late.
Genesis help up a snicker doodle. One of Angeal's famous snicker doodles, to be exact. Zack's mouth watered. "Do you want this, Fair?"
Before the words even came out of his mouth, Genesis tossed the cookie through the open door leading out of the apartment. Zack's blue eyes widened and he leaped out to catch it.
Good news: He caught it. However, the smirking auburn-haired male shut the door and locked it behind him. "Damn! Genesis!!" Zack yelled, banging on the door with all his might. Genesis chuckled and walked away from the door his copy of LOVELESS opened to Act I.
When Hewley returned from conversing with the General, he noticed immediately that his pupil was gone. Instinctively he turned to his childhood friend, who was looking very smug. "Genesis, did you eat Zack?" he deadpanned.
Genesis full out grinned. "My friend, I merely put the Puppy out."
It goes without saying that Zack was very careful when people offered him "presents" from then on. And he never went to the apartment on rainy days; Genesis was evil when bored!
Me: Okay, yes, I had one of those random spurts of inspiration. R & R, please. Tell me how I did. Even a "cool" or "sucks" would be nice. Take it away, Cloud!
Cloud:….sniffle….TornAngelWings doesn't own the Final Fantasy VII franchise.
Me: Aww, poor Chocobo-head, you were the cadet that Genesis made cry.
Cloud: (glares) With no thanks to you.
Me: Don't worry Cloudy boy, I still lurves you!
Cloud: Review please.
