'It was great to be back' you thought as you walked into the SOLDER h.q. after a long mission. Three hole months you had been away from your family, well the closest thing you had to one. Alone, in the wild, with nothing but a cell phone and some simple supplies. 'Never again will I request a mission alone…EVER' you thought to your self angrily.

"HEY KAT! Get over here!" yelled a voice you knew to well. It was Zack Fair, your best friend in the hole entire world. You ran over to meet him, and maybe beat him up a little when you found yourself on the floor. 'damn I tripped, but over what' you said to yourself looking up. The first thing you see was a gloved hand, but then you looked behind it and found yourself staring into beautiful blue eyes. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR GENESIS!" you shouted angrily. It didn't faze him though, he just smiled a devilish smile and said

"Well, to explain my behavior, I seen an opportunity and I took it with both hands…or more like one foot." he said pulling you off the floor and into a hug. "you've been gone quite a little while Kitten, we missed you." he said as Zack jogged up to you two.

"I missed you all." was all you got to say before Zack interrupted.

"Eeewwww! Stop with the PDA! She hasn't even been gone that long, what was it like a week!" Zack joked giving you the stupidest smile you had ever seen! You smacked your forehead.

"It's good to be back" you said out loud.

You pulled on both of there arms and started walking, indicating they were to start fallowing you. You lead them to the elevator and pressed the button, and turned around feeling the stares you were receiving from all of the Shin-Ra employees. They weren't staring because you were attractive, which you were, but not at this point. Right now you were pretty disgusting, but it was something that you came to terms with a while ago. Every single time you came back from a mission you managed to look your worst.

DING the elevator said as it arrived, and you all pilled in. You pressed the soldier living stations floor and you started talking with Zack. "have you read any good books lately Zack?" "Zack Fair read a BOOK!" Genesis said with a laugh.

"HAHA very funny! Yeah I was reading Loveless…I have to say I don't quite get your obsession! Its not even good!" he said bitterly.

"you just don't get it!" you and Genesis said at the same time.

"whoa sorry I pissed you guys off!" and with that the elevator opened and you all walked out. Zack and Genesis went to there perspective rooms to wait for you so you all could catch up.

You walked down the corridor to you room. You only had a little trouble with the absurd lock. When you finally opened the door you felt that something was off, when you turned on the light you gasped, sitting on your bed waiting for you was the Father figure himself. He looked up and smiled, if that's what you would call it. "What took you so long?" he said in a cool voice.

"Sepheroth!" you exclaimed as you wrapped your arms around his neck. "I think I should probably change…" you started to say to him but he cut you off by pushing you out to arms length.

"you will do more then that! you will shower and clean under your nails and behind your ears and…"

"Damn Seph you act like I haven't been back for years!" he got this look of sadness on his face.

"It felt like a lot longer then three months…" he trailed of but you got the idea. You drew him into another hug, only this time you squeezed really hard, you felt him tense at first, and then relax, as if all his worries were now being blown away. After that you made him leave so you could do everything he asked you to do.

After you showered, brushed your hair and teeth, you cleaned, and cut your nails. You were feeling good, and a lot cleaner then you had been for a little while. You had changed into your usual attire. Your uniform was a little different then the others. Since they didn't have many girl SOLDIERS they didn't provide a uniform for you. The President told you personally they were designing one for you, but it wouldn't be done for a while. You usually wore fitted dark pants, and the usual belt, with a cell phone holder, knife compartment, and room for other things. (you were hoping Reno would do as he promised and get you the Turk gun you asked for.) on top you wore the smallest turtle neck sleeveless blue shirt you could find. And it was still two sizes to big. (you have to think about the average sized soldier, see where I'm going with this?) on your feet you wore knee high Dock Martins, the only shoes you trust on missions.

You were just lacing up the second shoe when there was a nock on the door. You then got up, shoes tied, belt buckled, hair brushed and ready to go. You opened the door to reveal Angeal waiting for you. "HIYA!" you said as you leaned forward to hug him. Just then you realized how much you had missed your little family.

"So you ready to go down stairs…" he said when you stomach growled, interrupting him.

"Ffffoooooooodddd!" you draw out in a whiney voice.

"off course, only you." he said turning around and walked away to gather everyone to go get dinner.

The Five of you sitting at a dinner table in the dinning area of the headquarters was a sight to see. Three First Class SOLDIERS and 2 Second Class apprentices. It was inspiring for everyone else to work hard and get to were you were. "So how'd the mission go?" asked Angeal as he put another piece of Sushi into his mouth.

"it was a complete success!" you said around the mouth full of Sushi.

"you really shouldn't talk with your mouth full." said Genesis teasing you.

"screw you!" you said after swallowing your food.

"knowing you, you would." whispered Zack in your ear. You punched him so hard he cringed, rubbing his shoulder.

"Kat that's enough." said Sephiroth with his all powerful voice. You looked down a little embarrassed.

"who wants to go into the common room?" suggests Angeal.

"I do!" said you and Zack together.

As you walked there Genesis started reciting loveless, it was your favorite act, so you did a dialogue with him. You all sate down and talked until you started to fall asleep in your chair.

When you woke up you were being placed into bed. You opened your eyes to find Genesis looking down at you, he smiled when he seen your eyes open. "its late, and you should get some sleep." he stated, then he looked out into the distance for a moment, thinking. "here." he said and you held out your hand. He placed a heart shaped locket in it. It was unexpected to say the least.

"its beautiful, but why are you giving it to me?" you asked.

"Open it." was the only answer you received. You opened the locket with the intricate exterior and found a picture of you, Genesis, Sepheroth, Zack and Angeal. In this picture Sepheroth was in the corner with a cool expression, one that said he usually doesn't smile, which he didn't, Angeal was on his right, and had a similar expression, but he actually was smiling. Genesis was next to him and was smiling and glad to be smiling. You and Zack were in front of them and had the biggest, happiest expressions on your face, with Zack's arm around your shoulder and you holding up the peace sign.

"I'm at a loss for words." you said and tried to put it on. When failing at this attempt Genesis laughed lightly and took the ends of the necklace, and clasped it around your neck. His hands lingered there for a moment when he withdrew them.

" I thought you would like it." he said lightly before gently pushing you down into the bed and kissing your for head. "Now get some sleep." he said as he shut off your light and walked out the door. It was a really easy task and as soon as he left you were out like the light he turned off.
