Title: Almost Home

Rating: PG-13 references to drugs. Heh, I'm not on them, I swear! :sweatdrop:

Pairing(s): Slight Cloud/Zack Yummy, right? XD

Word Count: 735

Warning(s): May be very annoying to some of you. I swear, I didn't mean to use this song but it just came to me. I must have been on crack when I thought this up. :dizzy eyes:

Summary: After a long day's work, the Feather Boys decide to grab a bite to eat.

Dedication: To my love of Cloud and Zack because without them, there will be no fic… however, most people would think that was a good thing. XD

A/N: This is more or less a crack fic. I just wanted to make something completely hilarious/stupid just to make a few people laugh. I wanted to do little facial expressions with my wonderful keyboard keys but FanFiction doesn't let you do that. Poop...Yeah, I also have them living in the same building just so things could be easier on me. What? It's a crack fic! Nothing is supposed to make sense! :crossed eyes: I hope you enjoy! :smiley: The Bold is my narrative/what is taking place at the moment, the Italics are what the characters are thinking, and the : (Colons) are what the characters themselves are doing.

Almost Home

After a long day of tedious work and various missions that no one cared for, the Feather Boys make their way home at a steady pace. Suddenly, being only a few feet away from their apartment complex, Zack stops right in his tracks. Obviously, something was bothering the bouncy guy.

Zack: I don't want to go home yet.

Cloud: Why not? It's late and you must be exhausted from everything that's happened today. Plus, we smell.

Zack: Come on Cloud. Don't you want to go somewhere first and grab something to eat? :looks hopeful:

Cloud: What I want is to go upstairs, take a shower, and get to bed.

Zack: PLEASE! :puppy dog pout:

Cloud: :sighs: Fine…

Zack: YAY!! :drags Cloud to nearest restaurant:

Thus, Cloud is reluctantly taken to some place he's never been to before with some dude he has no patience for.

Zack: I'll have the triple cheese bacon burger, a large fries with extra ketchup, a side order of onion rings, a family size bucket of chicken wings, and a Grande coke. :turns to Cloud: That means large, mi amigo.

Cloud: I know what it means. :annoyed:

Zack: Anyway, what are you having?

Cloud: A glass of water. :chews on some breadsticks:

Zack: Bread? Water? Where're you at? In a prison? Order something decent! This is why you are all bones and no meat.

Cloud: :vein pops: I'll have a donut.

Zack: … Well, it's a start. :gets distracted: JUKEBOX!! OMGWTFLOL!! I haven't seen one of these in years! Let's see what songs it has!

Cloud: Let's not. :sips water:

Zack: Hmm, that one looks good. No, that is! Wait, maybe I should choose that one?

Cloud: Just pick one already!

To everyone in the restaurant surprise, the song Barbie Girl by AQUA starts blasting out of the large yellow machine.

Zack: Whoo! I love this song!

Cloud: O-o What are you smoking?

Zack: Dance with me Cloud!

Cloud: You have GOT to be kidding!

Zack: Nope! :drags Cloud to the dance floor, swinging him to and fro:

Cloud: o-O

Zack: Sing Cloud! "I'm a Barbie Girl! In the Barbie World!" I can't hear you!

Cloud: :twitches: I'm getting out of here! :runs but gets captured by Zack:

Zack: There's still three more minutes to the song! :holds Cloud close to his body: Now dance! :twirls Cloud:

Cloud: NOOOOOOOOOO!!

And so the Feather Boys ended up dancing the night away instead of just sleeping like Cloud had planed. Too bad for him. He was so close, almost to his home when he let Zack convince him to go out to "eat."

Cloud: T-T I was almost there! So close and yet so far away!!

Zack: Stop crying and dance!! :kitty face: WHEE!!

I guess no one ever told Cloud that almost doesn't count.
