Note: This is the longest story of the saga... I think. It's 6,881 words in total. But it's complete and being posted finally (:

If any of you haven't read my profile I have been ill and we've had a very busy time recently so that's the excuse for my absence. So, I hope this makes up for it (:

Down To Earth Disaster

Chapter One

Good News and Good company

Blond cat like ears twitched as the owner of them scribbled small notes on the book in front of him. The Dark and dull class room boring the intelligent cadet as he scribbled the odd word from his teacher. The cadet had already learned about Materia, having three First class SOLDIERs for lovers did have it's perks, especially when one worried and the other two loved to practice against the other. It often ended up with scrapes and bumps and the appearance of the green orb.

Not that the Cadet would have them any other way, it was entertaining and in some sense a good way of learning. It was a chance to observe first hand how to wield a blade and if his lovers noticed him studying their techniques they did quite often help him with the technique.

Turning the page, his mind contemplated what his lovers were up to, no doubt Angeal was working as he should, and there wasn't a doubt in his mind that his other two lovers, Zack and Genesis, were trying to make that troublesome for the Older Dom. Cat ears twitched and the tail flicked as he scanned his notes quickly, making sure they made sense for the just announced essay which was to be completed.

He collected his papers quickly, filing them away as the rest of the class walked back to their dorms. Making sure he had his card key to the apartment he shifted the bag onto his shoulder and turned to leave. He had to at least start the essay before Zack got back, the dark haired puppy Uke would in no doubt try to distract him.

"Strife." The blond turned, tilting his head and allowing his blond soft tail to flick as he walked up to his instructor.

"Sir," the Uke quickly replied, giving the standard salute as his instructor told him to ease. "Is Something the matter, Sir?"

"Nothing Cadet." The Instructor replied, he returned to his desk and quickly scribbled a note before handing it to the blond. "Give this to First Class Angeal, Thank you Cloud."

There was a the hint of the smirk, throwing the kitten Uke known as Cloud, off as he walked out of the class room. He was finally heading home in hopes for some peace and quiet before the torrent of a certain puppy.

Stepping into the apartment, Cloud dropped his bag by the front door, smiling as he didn't see familiar boots at the doorway. As much as the kitten wanted to relax and watch some pointless show, he needed to get some of his essay done before settling down with his lovers for the night. As thankful as Cloud was it being the weekend, he knew Zack wouldn't give him much chance to do his homework. Cloud was just glad he had two other responsible lovers who would give him chances to complete the set work.

Taking his brown duty boots he walked around the cozy apartment, double checking no one was around, before heading to the kitchen to make a snack to eat and drink. The large kitchen and dining area had an equally large window opposite the door, the autumn leaves falling gently down like a romantic scene from a movie.

Cloud chuckled to himself, reaching into the fridge and grabbing some Sandwich filler and the new bottle of homemade strawberry milkshake. He made himself a quick Sandwich and poured himself a glass of the milkshake, before walking over into the somewhat empty study and placing them on the large desk. He returned and put the stuff away, grabbing his bag from the front porch and settling down in front of the desk.

His gold tail flicked and twitched as he studied what he had to write about. His three page target was a difficult target to accomplish but The blond Kitten Uke knew his instructor wouldn't give it to him if it was not within his reach.

His eyes turned to his black messenger bag, and the note within in the smaller pockets. As the good cadet he was, he hadn't check the contents of the note, but it made his ears twitch at what it could be about. It was most likely himself, his instructor never informed Angeal, Genesis or even sometimes Zack directly if it wasn't about the Kitten. It made Cloud's tail flick and his cat like ears turn sideways. What could be in there that would be so important?

Shaking the thoughts from his mind, he looked down at the three blank lined pages, then the still closed book, which Cloud estimated was about over two hundred pages long. The blond Uke had a lot of work to get done to even Start the essay, reaching for his cell phone he had left behind by "mistake".

Zack had a tendency to phone him during lessons, giving the blond more detentions than he had hot dinners. He was grateful to Angeal, The First Class helped him out of detentions when it was caused by a certain puppy.

Cloud leaned back on his chair, contemplating whether to phone a certain auburn haired lover of his, who knew more about the book he was studying more than anyone. The book on Materia was something Cloud knew about, but the Writing an essay about all of those things was something Cloud had a problem with. Materia was hard to talk about let along writing about it.

The blond sent a quick message to Zack, knowing the puppy would happily talk to him now that he was out of lessons. It was trying to refrain the hyper Uke from calling him during which was the difficult part, Zack easily got bored with paperwork.

Cloud looked down at his book, opening it up and skimming through the contents, trying to find the part he had to study. Reaching over and taking a bite out of his Sandwich his ear jerked slightly at the monotone sound from his cell phone, the front screen flashing. He flipped it open, washing down his Sandwich with his milkshake as he read the rather long text. Ignoring the sometimes crude comments, he quickly replied, asking the puppy if Genesis would help him with his homework as well as asking how long they would be.

The bored kitten looked up at the plain white ceiling, his thoughts turning back to the note he still had to give to Angeal. Oh stuff it, rummaging through his bag and getting the note out he stuffed it in his pocket along with his phone, swigging down the last of his milkshake as he made for the door.

Homework be damned, he wanted to see his lovers and what the supposed note was about.

---

The auburn haired man sighed in annoyance as the secretary dumped many more sheets paper onto the overflowing in tray. Genesis knew he would be sitting there to the early hours of the morning, he could never understand how a SOLDIER first Class like himself ended up being stuck in an office for most of his working days. Shinra were wrong to encourage cadets with the saying, 'you'll be out in the wide world fighting to save others'. Genesis knew the "Wide World" was coming to him in the form of mountains of paperwork.

His lovers on the other desks weren't fairing much better, by no surprise the puppy first Class had the highest pile of papers. Zack had become completely ignorant to the fast building papers, the older Uke was playing games on his computer, checking his phone every now and again. Angeal was surviving better than them all, His talent of skimming through things and getting the general gist of it was only one the Intelligent First had. Even Sephiroth had a hard time understanding some things when reading them faster.

A Timid knock at the door made all three heads turn up, Zack's cheeky grin only making minds curious to who it was. When a Little tiny blond walked in and saluted the two Doms tensions eased and both smiled warmly, thanking the blond quietly for the distraction.

It was, of course, Zack who made the first move, the puppy leaped from his seat and shoved the blond up against the door with his weight. Practically squeezing the life out of the blond as he exclaimed his excitement for seeing the timid Uke.

"Missed me spiky?" He asked after calming down, taking a step back to do a quick examination for any injuries. Cadet life was hard, and it was a rarity to see the blond unharmed. Even if it was a small cut or bruise the older Uke would worry, not as much as the Doms because he had been through the cadet years much more recent than them. He knew the difficult tasks involved in the life of a cadet, and how everyone competed to be next to Sephiroth.

The blond nodded, before quickly reaching into his pocket and holding it up. The note that had the curious kitten's attention also quickly grabbed the attention of the puppy, who watched the kitten hand it over to Angeal with a kiss. "Sgt. Sanders told me to give you this."

Even the Doms interests were captivated by the small innocent paper and Genesis wandered over to sneak a peak at it's contents. The kitten Uke waited Anxiously as his older lovers re read the note, smiles tugging their lips as the glanced at each other. Zack's personality and not being able to be quiet no longer than two minutes made him the first to speak up.

"So, What does it say?" He asked, tagging wagging slightly as his ears perked up. He wrapped his arms tightly around the blond, feeling the nervous twitches vibrate all the way down to the pale tail. Angeal looked up, his eyes proud and bright as he spoke the contents of the note.

"Cadet Cloud Strife Passed his exams with a 100% score." The blond blinked, shock overwhelming him as he looked up at Zack and then Genesis. Angeal chuckled, noting the blond's obvious oblivious look as he answered. "It means you have a definite chance of Joining SOLDIER."

Laughs and cheers resounded the Office, anyone who walked by would think there was a party.

With Zack around, in some sense it was.
