"Okay, we need to set up cameras here, here, here, and-"
"Zack, stop pointing and show us!" Cloud interupted.
"Geez... Fine... Here.." He then proceeded to walk throughtout the appartment and balcony.
"Was this really such a good idea?" Sephiroth asked Angeal, as they surveyed the team.
"Well, if you want to figure out what it is, then yes."
Sephiroth sighed "...Hey, don't put a camera in my shower or in view of the toilet!"
"Sorry, Sephy is here better?" Zack asked.
"No! You can still see the toilet through the mirror numbskull!"
"Then here?"
"Fine... And don't call me 'Sephy' puppy!"
They finished placing the cameras "Phew, all done." Zack said plopping onto Sephiroth's velvet couch and doing the same routine. "Oh, by the way,we don't have any ghost hunting equipment, just spying... We'd really need some, to do a 'proper' ghost hunt..."
Angeal sighed and rubbed his temples "Fine, what do you need?"
"A thermal imaging camera, two tape recorders, a night vision camera, a voice box, a-"
"The neccisities, Zack!" Angeal interupted.
"Fineeeee... Two tape recorders, and a thermal imaging camera."
"The items you need are in the supply closet downstairs." Angeal said.
"Okay!" Zack replied getting up.
"I'll get them." Sephiroth said, nodding to Angeal and receiving one in return.
Zack sat down aprubtly. "Why does Shinra have ghost hunting gear anyway? Oh, I guess they have it in case of supernatual emergencies!" Eveyone shook there head as Angeal and Sephiroth facepalmed.
"Okay, are you ready stalkers? I'm going down to the supply closet."
"Yeah!" Zack shouted.
"Don't. Be. Seen." Angeal warned.
"Gotcha!"
As Sephiroth headed out the door, the team did as they usually do during pranks, Keep out of sight.
Zack just did as he usually did since no one would think anything of it, he followed Sephiroth like a clumsy panther, he did receive looks but was quickly shrugged off. Reno and Cloud crawled through the air ducts, with a backpack full of spy gear in tow, Reno in the lead, Reno knew the way through the catacomb of ducts like the back of his hand, how could he not, as he's always trying to sneak away unnoticed after he blows something up. They all had their earpieces in but turned off until someone wanted to talk.
"Wha-?" Reno started.
"What?"
"I keep catching something on the camera then it disappears..."
"Is it a ghost...?" Cloud asked disbelievingly.
"I don't know. Call Zack while I scan at the next peep hole."
"Hey Zack. There's something on the camera." Cloud said through his earpiece.
"It looks like... A sillohette of someone... Oh Sh^#!"
"What!?" Cloud could hear something from behind the grating, "Is that, singing? I can't make it out."
"Oh goddess... Goddess please help me..." Reno curled up in a ball whimpering.
"Hold on Zack we have a problem, continue your job. Seriously Reno, what did you see?"
"My eyes, my eyes, it burns!"
Cloud smacked him upside the head "Get ahold of yourself! What did you see!?"
"Something I've never ever ever wanted to see!"
"For god's sake Reno, what!?"
"I-saw Hojo, in his bathroom, naked, dancing, and singing 'I'm too sexy!'"
"Oh, my, good, lord Jesus... I feel your pain, I feel your pain..."
"ACCCK! Cloud what should I do it's ingrained in my mind!?"
"Go to your happy place, just go to your happy place... We should tell Zack." To Zack "Zack find a spot where you can talk to me without getting noticed."
What the heck is going on? Zack wondered. "Okay Cloud I'm good. What happened?"
Cloud started choking back laughter and he heard Reno yell "Yo, stop laughing a$#hole!"
"Reno- saw- Hojo, in his bathroom, naked, dancing, and singing-'I'm too sexy!'" He couldn't control it any longer he just busted up laughing.
"WHAT!?" Zack screamed so loud everyone in the cafeteria stopped and stared at him from his position behind a plant, even Sephiroth turned to see what happened. "OMG is that really what you heard Mr. Plant?" Zack asked the plant loudly. Everyone just shook their heads and resumed their meal. "Seriously, Cloud!? Video tape that! We are sooooooo posting that on the Shinra mainframe!"
"Do you want everyone to barf uncontrollably and commit suicide?" Cloud asked seriously.
"YES! Yes, sooooo worth it!"
"Reno, Zack said place a camera, so we can post this on the Shinra mainframe."
"Yo, your joking right? I seriously would claw out my eyeballs if I thought it would take the image away!... But, then everyone would have to suffer the same knowledge as me... Yo, let's do this!" Unfortunately to place a camera properly you have to look at your target, so Reno tried his best.
"Okay, everyone back to the mission. Thank goodness we brought extra cameras." Zack snickered. "Oh, and by the way, we should keep our earpieces on." Following Sephiroth was hard for Reno and Cloud when they couldn't get the exact room through the air vents. The two were thanking, god that Zack stalked Sephiroth regularly or this wouldn't work. They made it back to the appartment without anymore excitement with Angeal waiting for them.
"What happened all of you? It took you 35 minutes to go 2 floors below, and come back up."
The trio fell to the floor laughing histericaly "Well if it wasn't for these clowns it would have been 15 minutes."
"What in Gaia's name happened out there Zack?" Angeal asked.
Zack tried to calm himself but he couldn't suppress his laughter. "Zack, if you don't act serious, I'll kick you out of SOLDIER!" Sephiroth snapped.
Zack immediatly sat up and started talking "We, we had a problem. You see, the air vents don't exactly follow the certain path you took and so, while Reno was," Zack cleared his throat to help stop snickering "Surveying the area, with the camera through the grating he," he couldn't control it he just lost it.
Cloud tried to help out next "Reno saw through the grating into, Hojo's," He lost it too.
Reno tried to finish the story "Yo, I saw into Hojos, bathroom, and he was," he took a deep breath before continuing "Naked, dancing, and singing 'I'm too sexy!'"
Sephiroth nearly gagged, while Angeal went paler, and paler into shock. "We have it on tape if you want to see it..." Zack asked devilishly.
"No!" They both screamed. Sephiroth really couldn't take the thought anymore and ran to the bathroom. He was out of the restroom 20 minutes later to see the trio passed out from laughing so hard on his floor, and Angeal still out of it looking like a corpse. "Angeal?" No answer "Angeal!" he shouted, still no answer, He shook him "Angeal!" still he didn't show any signs of life.
"Huh?" Zack grunted waking up. "Is something wrong with Angeal?" He asked hoarsely. The other two started to wake up. "OH, MY, GOD, HE'S DEAD! WE KILLED HIM!" Zack ran over to Angeal shaking him as best he could "WHY, WHY, WHY!? I killed one of my best friends..." He said solemnly collapsing into tears.
"What in the name of the Goddess, is going on here? Seriously Sephy keep the noise down!" Genesis shouted as he opened the door "Oh, I thought it was the puppy... OH GODDESS YOU REALLY DID KILL HIM! MURDERDER!" Sephiroth was now back looking at this scene with Cloud and Reno trying not to laugh.
"Genesis, I'm so sorry!" Zack was crying uncontrollably.
"Very amusing, don't you think?" Sephiroth asked the duo.
"Yeah!" Cloud and Reno snickered.
Cloud looked over to the window briefly and saw a figure that darted away quickly. "HOLY S$%#!" Everyone stopped immediatly and stared "Zack, the ghost, it's-it's REAL!"
Sephiroth screamed like a little girl and jumped into Genesis' arms. "After it team!" Zack yelled. They ran out to the balcony and like Sephiroth said before, it disappeared. "S&%* we lost it!"
"Wait a minute Zack, the camera!" Cloud yelled.
"Great job, Spikey!"
They opened the laptop on the table that the feed was hooked up to. "Mommy please don't let me see it..." Sephiroth whimpered closing his eyes whilst still clutching Genesis.
"What-what's going on?"
Zack stopped what he was doing and shot up "ANGEAL YOUR ALIVE! I thought I killed you!"
"Zack the footage!" Reno said.
"You caught something!?" Angeal asked surprised.
"Maybe, we have'ta look at the footage first though..." Zack answered.
"You thought I was dead?" Angeal laughed "Why?"
"You went into shock after you heard," Cloud glanced at Genesis "What we saw..."
"How long was I out?"
"Mmmm... Roughly 30 minutes." They all gauked at Reno "What? I'm a Turk, we have to know these things."
"You have to know how to count!? Man, good thing I didn't decide to become a Turk." They gauked at him this time "A joke, a joke, seriously, sheesh. Last time I decide to be funny..."
"Really? What about math, 5x 5?" Reno asked sarcasticaly.
"25."
"Ahhhmmmm... 26 x 99?"
"Seriously Reno? That's easy, 2574!"
"I think I might be the one to go into shock this time..." Sephiroth said seriously.
"Sephy, seriously, have you been up there this whole time?" Zack asked.
"Yes, he has..." Genesis said "He won't let go."
"Well, you could've just said you didn't want to hold me anymore..." Sephiroth said getting down. "And if any one of you tell anyone about this I will torture you until you die from the pain, and then I'll use a Phoenix Down and do it all again..."
"Sure, Sephy whatever... Now does anyone want to see what we've got?" Sephiroth jumped on Genesis again, but this time Genesis let him fall to the floor.
Sephiroth rubbed his backside "I'll get you for that Genny..."
Everyone but, Sephiroth walked over to see the footage, he grabbed a pillow on the couch and gave it a death hug, which made thousands of chocobo down explode into his face.
"What the heck did you do Seph?" Angeal asked.
"Can someone hold me?" Sephiroth squeaked.
"I volunteer Zack," Genesis said.
"Second!" Reno said.
"Noooo, I wanna see the footage!" Zack whined.
Angeal sighed "Come here Seph, I'll hold you..."
"I don't wanna see it..."
"Okay..." Angeal went over and held Sephiroth awkwardly.
