Chapter Four: Clara:

Once Cloud was done washing, he got out and wrapped a towel around his lithe body. He heard voices on the other side of the door, and he was curious to see how this Reno person looked like. He twisted the doorknob and cracked it open. He poked his head out of the door and as soon as he did, he immediately regretted it. He saw a man with long neon red hair in a suit that was so dark that it looked like it could be blue or blue. He had light-colored green eyes that fell on him as soon as he opened the door.

"Is that him?" the red head said and pointed over at the blonde who closed the door as soon as he saw this.

Zack turned around in time to see the door close and sighed. He rushed over to the door and opened it again. He peeped in.

"Cloud, come on…", he said in a friendly tone. "You don't want Sephiroth to come looking for you. Trust me…you DON'T want that. That's why we gotta hurry".

"He's expecting me right now?" the blonde asked, looking at his friend who nodded.

Using his arm, the older male reached into the bathroom and searched for the blonde who wasn't in his sight. He could only hear the blonde but the blonde could see and hear him very well.

"Alright, alright…", the blonde cried as he swung the door open.

The black-haired male fell in and quickly gained his balance before he ran into the blonde who shifted himself to the right. Once the older male stood erect again, he looked down to see that the younger male was only clothed in a towel. Scratching the back of his head, he pouted.

"I knew I forgot something…", he said. "Hold on for one minute".

Before the blonde could say anything, he rushed out. The red head had made himself comfortable on the SOLDIER's bed. Aerith was still standing in the room, and the dark-haired male stopped at his drawer. He started flinging out unfolded articles of clothing from underwear to shirts and socks.

Aerith managed to maneuver past the flying clothes and get to Zack who had found what he was looking for and stopped throwing his clothes around. The red head on the bed just shook his head. The brunette female picked up a simple, dark blue, sleeveless shirt and a pair of dark blue pants that matched it. The black-haired male stared at her confusedly, wondering why she was picking up clothes when he already had some. She picked up a pair of black boots and stood up.

"I think these will do", she said.

"No, no, no".

They turned their heads to see Reno shaking his head. The red head pulled out a big bag from under the SOLDIER's bed, making him gasp. The red head unzipped the bag and pulled out a pretty blue dress that hanged from a hanger. The swordsman was almost speechless.

"How did you…how did you…how long was that under my bed!?" he asked as he grasped his spiky black hair in both of his hands.

"For a long time, my friend", the red head said he got up.

The black-haired male said nothing and still stood there in shock as the red head walked to the bathroom door.

"Zack, it's starting real lame waiting on your slow-self to get here with the clothes", the blonde mumbled angrily.

The red head smirked and cracked the door open some more, taking the blonde by surprise. The blonde was sitting on the toilet seat with his arms cross in front of his chest. His eyes were staring in vexation at the ground.

"The name's Reno and I have your clothes right here", the red head said he showed the blonde the sapphire blue dress.

The blonde's eyes widened to saucers. Did he actually expect him to wear that…that…that dress!? He shook his head rapidly, moving his arms in a crisscross fashion in front of him.

"Uh, uh. No way! I won't wear a fucking dress!" the blonde yelled angrily, narrowing his sapphire eyes at the red head.

"Okay…don't wear the dress, but I wonder what will happen to you once Sephiroth catches you", the red head sighed as he slowly moved away from the door.

The blonde gasped and hopped off the seat, running to the door in an effort to catch the older male.

"Wait!" he cried, peeping out the door and seeing that the Turk didn't go too far.

The red smirked and came back to the blonde who was frowning.

"Zack didn't have any clothes?" he asked.

"Nope, not that would fit you", the red head lied.

The blonde muttered something inaudible under his breath and the red head figured that the blonde was cursing his and the black-haired male's existence. He snatched the dress from the red head and slammed the door in his face. The red head walked away with a satisfied smile.

Zack and Aerith looked at him. He looked at them briefly.

"We're in business", he said as he dragged the bag closer to the door, placing it right by it.

The SOLDIER suddenly began chuckling very loudly, "Are you serious!? He agreed to wear the dress!?"

The red head saw the dark-haired male looked at him and he nodded, making the other male bust out in another set of boisterous giggles. Aerith merely shook her head, covering her blush and face in her hand.

The red head knocked on the door, stopping the blonde from even getting his leg in the dress, "Hold up. Before you put on the dress, put this on".

"I'm not dressing up like a girl, Reno", the blonde scoffed.

"Then you can face Sephiroth and who knows what the general has in mind for you", the red head said.

The blonde said nothing else and the red head grabbed a few things from his bag. He handed the blonde a bra that was already stuffed with silicon implants in one of its pockets. The red head made sure that the blonde didn't drop them. The bra matched the blonde's dress.

Growling irritably, he threw the dress on the counter and snatched the bra. He surprisingly didn't drop the clear bags in the bra as he tried to figure out how to put the bra on.

"How do you put this on?" the blonde almost yelled.

"Obviously you haven't been with a girl…", the red head sighed in disbelief. "Wrap it around your chest and hook it with the hooks".

"Oh…" the blonde said, feeling stupid and blushing because of it.

He did as the red head said, wrapping it around his small chest and hooking it with the tiny hooks. He pulled the straps closer to his neck until he was comfortable with where they were. He looked at himself in the mirror and became intrigued with how the bra fitted on him as well as his new "breasts" that even had nipples on them.

If he were to wear all of this, would Sephiroth even recognize him?

"Put this on too", the red head said and put his arm through the crack of the door.

The blonde came back to reality and turned around. He froze when he saw that the older male was handing him a lacy dark blue thong. He felt his reluctance arise once more and shook his head.

"Are kidding me!? I can't wear that! That'll mess with my…man parts…", the blonde said, not really knowing what to call his member.

He still felt uncomfortable saying the word 'penis'.

"Oh, those little things? This won't bother a thing", the red head teased and then he sighed. "You have no choice now, Cloud".

"Shut up!" the blonde cried in response.

The blonde knew he had to hurry so he snatched the article of clothing and hurriedly put them on, tucking his member in between his small and pale thighs. He looked at himself in the mirror again and frowned when he noticed he was too short to see if underwear looked right on him.

"Okay, now you can put on the dress", the red head said as he leaned against the wall by the door. "Then you can come out and we'll finish the rest".

The blonde complied, stepping into the dress. He didn't even need the use of a zipper because the dress fit so well on him. It spilled down his body and stopped three inches above his knees, really showing off his thighs. He looked back up at himself in the mirror.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He tapped his pen on his desk, waiting on a student to arrive so he could retire to his room to get himself some much need rest. His glowing emerald eyes glance up at the clock, seeing that it has been almost a half hour that he's been waiting on the boy. He growled and leaned forward as he huffed; his long silver hair spilling onto the desk like water to the floor.

Where…is…that…boy?

He heard a knock on the door that distracted him from his thoughts of killing the boy for being overly late. He sighed and tried to remain calm.

"Yes…", he replied.

The door opened and in came a man with long black hair, dark eyes, and a tilak on his forehead. He wore a blue suit just like the Turks. He steadily entered the room after seeing the look of annoyance on the general's face.

He wasn't alone though. Along with him was a girl with blonde hair. She walked in behind him, standing right by his side. The silver-haired male recognized her immediately too.

"Tseng…Elena, how can I help you?" the swordsman asked through gritted teeth as he continued to stare at the papers on his desk.

"Hojo requested your presence, sir", the blonde female said with her head down.

"Did he say why?" the silver-haired male asked as he glanced briefly at both of them.

It's way too early for a treatment…

"No", she said, shaking her head.

"Then I won't waste my time going to him…", he muttered, looking back down at the papers on his desk.

"Do you want me to tell him that, sir?" she asked.

As soon as those words left her mouth, the general's head popped back up. His mako-filled eyes looked at her and narrowed in vexation. Even the black-haired male in the corner shook his head.

She wasn't serious, was she? Telling the mad scientist that would be like a very slow and painful suicide. He hated to admit it but his health almost depended on the mako treatments that Hojo gives him. He couldn't last a decade without them, and even when he misses a month he feels slightly sick. He refused to belief that he, a general of SOLDIER, depended on anyone.

"No", he replied finally.

He looked back up after watching them, seeing that the blonde female didn't have on a suit like the black-haired male. In fact, she had on a regular t-shirt and jeans. The other male left when he had opened his mouth to say something.

"Elena", the general called the girl's name, making her stop and come back in.

The male Turk came back in as well, but stood at the door.

"Yes, sir?" she said.

"Why aren't you wearing your usual attire?" he asked, actually looking her eye-to-eye.

The blonde felt her cheeks turn a slight pinkish color. She still hadn't got use to the general's gaze yet. She remembered why she was wearing these clothes. She planned to go out, but she didn't want to tell the swordsman that. Before she could hold her tongue, the words spilled from her mouth.

"RenoandZackinvitedhimtocelebrateCadetStrife'sbirthdayattheGoldenSaucer", she said all in one breathe.

She gasped and covered her mouth with her hand but it was too late. She watched as the glowing emerald eyes of the general light up with a silent rage. She turned red and looked over at Tseng who just shook his head again.

"Thank you…Elena", Sephiroth muttered, dismissing her and her companion.

They both left, but the blonde girl rushed out; her cheeks red. The silver-haired man stood up from his desk and walked back and forth in front of it. He contemplated what he should do. He didn't know whether to retrieve the blonde from his own birthday party or let him go until after he took his nap.

I always put my work before extracurricular events…

Finally, he decided to go to the blonde's birthday party. He stopped walking when he realized that there was one little problem. He didn't know what to wear.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Cloud stepped out of the bathroom, receiving gasps from both Zack and Aerith. Reno only smirked at his work of art.

"C-Cloud! You look like a chick!" the black-haired male cried as he fisted his spiky black hair in disbelief while the brunette female just stayed quiet.

The blonde felt his fists ball up. His eyes stared at floor because he couldn't even look any of them in the eyes. This was humiliating to the extreme, but he had to admit that this wasn't as bad as pissing on himself in class and in front of his idol.

"The only thing left is the hair and make-up", the red head began as he happily placed an arm over the blonde's shoulders. "I'll need help with that from you, Aerith, if you don't mind".

She nodded and said, "Sure…I'll help".

"You do know how to apply make up, right?" he asked as he lead them, including the blonde into the bathroom.

The spiky-haired man sighed and fell back against his room's door. He stared at the ceiling, still not believing this was happening.

The red head closed the door once all of them got in. He had pulled the bag inside and placed it on the counter. He stepped aside and told the brunette she could go ahead and give the blonde what she got.

The brunette grabbed a few things from the bag and placed them in front of the blonde who had become a mute. He had red blush on his cheeks that didn't go away and was there ever since he stepped out of the bathroom. He hid his eyes with his spiky golden hair.

Aerith started with the blonde's long and already curly eyelashes. With the eyelash curler, she made them even curlier and more noticeable. Next, she applied eyeliner to the blonde's top and bottom eyelids, really bringing out his alluring sapphire orbs. Then she grabbed the blue mascara and put it around the blonde's eyes. This move made his eyes come out even more.

The red head kept looking away and occasionally came back to look at the blonde. He stopped doing it once the brunette caught him and scolded him in a soft tone. Instead, he faced the wall so he wouldn't be tempted to look that much.

"Done", she said with a smile, turning the blonde around to face the mirror.

The blonde was in complete awe. He almost didn't recognize the person in the mirror looking back at him. As he gazed at himself, the brunette grabbed a brush and brushed the blonde's hair. His spikes fell when he took a shower so it wasn't any problem to brush or tend to his hair now.

The red head suddenly got in the blonde's face and stared at him with wide light green eyes.

"Wow…Cloud. You look even more feminine!" the red head teased with a smirk. "Aren't you glad you're doing this?"

The blonde merely frowned at the older male as the brunette continued to brush his hair, giving him the 'I'm going to kill you after all of this is over for doing this to me on my 16th birthday' look. The red head's eyes widen in a fake fear like fashion and he moved away.

The brunette dug in the bag again and took out a dark blonde wig. She put it on him and smiled at how perfect it looked on the blonde. She applied some more products on it to make it look more real. After that was done, she grabbed the lipstick and put a soft layer on his lips. Once she was done, she stepped away from her work, grinning from ear to ear.

The blonde and red head gasped at how girlish he looked. If the red head hadn't been standing there the whole time, he would've thought that the blonde was a girl. The blonde spun around, checking himself out with his mouth hung open the whole time.

Would Sephiroth recognize him in this?

He stopped spinning when his arm was grabbed by the girl. Before he could say anything, she sprayed a body spray on him that smelled like heaven. She only sprayed it a few times, getting it all over the blonde's body.

"What'll be your new name?" the red head asked.

"Claire sounds like a fun name", the brunette said as she put the bottle away.

"Something simple that begins with a 'cl'…Claudia? No, too weird. Chloe…no…Clara", the red head stopped and grinned from ear to ear. "How about Clara, Cloud?"

"Fine…", the blonde muttered.

The red head smirked and put his chin close to the blonde's shoulder, breathing in the younger male's scent before he moved away to grab a pair of sapphire-colored heels. The blonde pointed at the shoes.

"You expect me to wear those? The heels are like 80 inches high!" the blonde whined.

"Well, you can't exactly go out with just a pair of black boots, can you?" the red head said.

The brunette said nothing as she helped the red head put the heels on the blonde's feet. They were a perfect fit. The only reason they were uncomfortable to wear was because the blonde wasn't use to this kind of shoe and he had never tried on heels in his life.

"How in the world did you just happen to find clothes that all fit him perfectly?" the blonde asked with a clear look of disbelief on his face.

"I get lucky. Zack said you were kind of small and short. I just put two and two together, took some of my cousin's clothes, and got really lucky", the red head answered with a smirk.

The blonde just rolled his eyes as the brunette girl left to tell Zack that they were ready. The red head walked out next, opening the wide and getting both Aerith's and Zack's attention.

"Now, the moment you've been waiting for!" he shouted in pure joy. "Clara!"

The blonde, following his cue, stumbled out of the bathroom, barely able to walk in the heels that were strapped to his feet and ankles. It wasn't an open-toe shoe so his toes were covered but the rest of his feet weren't.

Zack gasped, taking by surprise for the millionth time today within an hour. He couldn't believe that his blonde friend was transformed into a lady.

"These…damned…heels…", the blonde growled as he got up.

Or so he thought…

The black-haired male looked at his watch and saw the time. It was around 7 'o' clock at night.

"You guys we gotta get out of here! I think that Seph's been waiting on 'Clara' for over half an hour, and if I'm right, he would be heading over here now!" he cried.

The blonde felt his body freeze up. The SOLDIER took notice and told Aerith to go ahead and get out of the building. He grabbed the blonde's hand and walked them out while the red head cleaned up.

"There's no time to pause now, Spikes. It won't take Seph but a second to get to my room", he said.

The blonde said nothing and let the older male drag him along.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

A/N: Yay! Another update! Yay! Another update! Lol. Anyway, the reason it is so late in the story is because the blonde fell asleep for a few hours before Zack and Aerith came and got him. Another reason why Cloud's pants were still wet when they got him was because Sephiroth couldn't stand the stench and sprayed him down there. Well, anyway, please review. Thanks.
