Hello everybody! Long time no see, eh? Sorry it's been so long; things have just been... bleh. Anyway my sister and I created a sequel to 'Zack The Puppy' to be shown during this Christmas season! (yay!) We have most of the ideas and we won't flake on it like most of our stories. I can't believe that its been a year since we created the first one! and we will try to do this every year for Christmas.

For those of you that didn't read 'Zack the Puppy'and have no intention on reading it we should recap: Cloud brought home a puppy that looks remarkably like Zack; He turned out to be a pain; Cloud and Tifa got engaged; Zack ran away; Found Zack with a dog named Aerith... And there's a lot of other funny cute stuff if I do say so myself, so I really suggest you read it!

So now on with the story. Oh yeah, and please please please REVIEW!


Sephy the Kitty - 1) I Will Never Be a Memory

"When will that dog stop growing?" Cloud asked himself as he watched Zack in the corner chewing some bones that came from the chicken they had for dinner. Zack doesn't even look like a puppy anymore, and was looking more like a wolf everyday. Instead of his yipping noise that he made as a puppy, now turned into a deep bark that would scare anybody away. He still liked to break things and now that he was bigger he try to be a little more ambitious and knock over the TV. After the third time of breaking it Cloud and Tifa decided to hang it up on the wall.

Even though Aerith had grown too, she was not nearly as big as Zack. She was quite petite for a dog, and that would confuse her masters because she would eat everything that was in front of her. They figured that she got her exercise when they went to the park because she liked to play in the dirt. Zack would just watch her until a butterfly would fly past him, then go chasing after it.

He sighed. Cloud didn't like being alone at the bar it gave him too much time to think. Tifa went out shopping for shampoo and Cloud wanted to go too but the dogs refused to move from their lazy positions. They couldn't leave the dogs alone and the kids were with Barrett for the weekend. So Cloud had the misfortune of staying home alone. In the dark. In the middle of the night. With no lights on. Maybe he should turn those on…

Cloud nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the door open slowly. But he recognized the steps instantly and relaxed. But her steps sounded cautious, as if she was nervous. Cloud peaked his head in the bar and saw her put a bag on the table, but she was holding something white and fluffy in her arms. It was too dark to see though.

Cloud saw from the corner of his eyes that Zack stopped chewing the bones and the hair on his back stand up. Zack jumped up and stood in front of Aerith protectively. But she didn't seem bothered, she just looked up with curiosity in her eyes.

"Cloud, please don't be angry," Tifa said from behind him and he turned around to see a fluffy silver cat in her arms. He got a bad feeling instantly. He felt a familiar presence in the cat, an evil presence.

"You got a cat?" he asked nervously. He hated cats, always did.

"That's right." She said and the cuddled the cat to her face. It had the same expression on it's face the whole time. It looked bored. "His name is Sephiroth!"

That's when Cloud jumped back. The same word echoed in his head 'I will… never be a memory.'

"No, we are not keeping him!" The fear shown into his tone. He went behind the bar to put some distance between him and the evil creature.

Tifa gave him a devastated expression. "But he was next in line to be killed."

"Good!" Cloud backed up against the shelf behind the bar and the bottles shook.

"That's heartless, Cloud..." She seriously looked like she was about to cry and he felt himself falling.

He exhailed loudly. "Can you at least change his name?"

The cat looked at Cloud and actually glared at him. "He came with the name, we can't just change it."

Cloud flinched. "I think we can."

Tifa sighed, realizing she was winning, she gave into his one request. "We can change it to a shorter version."

"Like what?"

She looked at the cat and pondered. "I got it! We'll call him Sephy!" She looked over at Cloud and saw he was still frightened. It made her wonder why he was so scared of cats, he never seemed scared of anything else, so why cats? Zack barked from where he was at, trying to gain their attention. Cloud and Tifa both looked at him and Zack began to growl, to say his thoughts on the matter. See? Even Zack agreed with him! Tifa looked back at Cloud and saw he was still unhappy. "Okay, If you really don't want him here I can take him back to the shelter." She looked at Sephy and began to tear up.

All Cloud saw was the engagement ring he gave her and remembered how happy she was when he gave it to her. He would do anything to make her happy again. "Fine, we can keep it."

She looked at him and a huge smile bloomed on her face. She put the cat on the bar and went around to kiss him. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She kissed him between each 'thank you'. She kissed him one more time enthusiastically and broke off abruptly. "I'll go get him set up!" She grabbed on of the bags she brought in and the kitty and ran up the stairs.

Zack whined and they both knew they lost the battle.
