AN: Finally, Day Four~ Hopefully from now on I can stay on track, though the chapters might continue to be only three to four stories each… I'll try to at least keep it at Five like I did last year. One or two more stories shouldn't be too hard to squeeze in right? It all depends on how generous my cousin is feeling with his laptop at the time, though. We'll see how that works.
Anyway, Here is the official chapter for today (night in my case cause it's very close to midnight now)…
Day Four!

DECEMBER 4, 2013
Let It Whip – The Treblemakers (A capella cover * Pitch Perfect) – 2:21
"No!" Elena cried, beyond fed up with the men in front of her. They'd been there for a few hours already and still something just wasn't right! "One more time! All the way through. I'll figure this out." She ordered the eight men sitting in various places on the bleachers in the gym/rec room where they usually practiced. Some of them (Sephiroth, Cloud, Genesis) groaned, some (Angeal, Tseng, Rufus) sighed. Reno loudly exclaimed that if they kept this up he'd lose his voice, yo. Zack laughed.
Elena honestly didn't care. Tomorrow was the day all the clubs at the university attempted to recruit as many members as possible and more members were always a good thing. The problem was that for some reason this song just wasn't sounding like it should.
Elena nodded to her fellow manager beside her and Rude gave a silent signal. All eight men sang. A chorus of voices in different pitch and keys.
"~Whip It~"
Whispers in the Dark – Skillet – 3:24 (SephirothxZackxCloud)
The nightmares were getting worse. It was impossible not to notice. Cloud was more distant, seemingly forcing himself to keep closed off from the other two. There were permanent dark circles beneath his eyes and some days it seemed like he could barely manage to stumble along during drills and training. It had become increasingly apparent that he wasn't sleeping well. Today it was made perfectly clear that this was a serious detriment to his health and status as a SOLDIER.
Zack had rushed to the infirmary as if he had wings, bowling people over to reach the blond faster. He had nearly given both of them a heart attack when Sephiroth's secretary (thank Gaia for that wonderful woman) had suddenly informed him that their youngest lover had collapsed on the track this morning. Sephiroth had not been in a position to rush as Zack had but the minute he'd gotten off duty, the General had headed down to the hospital wing and drilled every detail he could out of the doctor in charge.
Cloud was exhausted and slightly malnourished and had not woken up at all. They had stuck him with an IV for hydration and nutrients and were observing him. The silver-haired man had demanded more than asked to take Cloud, and thankfully the doctor had cleared the blond to leave as long as they continued to watch him and immediately return if anything happened.
Now both Sephiroth and Zack sat on either side of their lover, watching as he slept peacefully in the deepest sleep he'd had in months.
"Seph…" Zack looked up with worried violet eyes. Sephiroth sighed and nodded.
They had to do something. This could not go on.
Rojiura no Uchuu Shounen (Back Alley Spaceboy) – The Cobra Twisters (Dai-Guard Theme) – 3:27
"Take this, you bastard!" Zack roared as he manipulated the controls for the giant robot's right hand. The resulting punch sent the giant alien enemy flying into a skyscraper while also causing the large mech to stumble back several kilometers.
"Hey!"
"Puppy!"
"Zack!"
The other four in the cockpit sent angry looks at him in varying degrees of annoyance for the sudden action.
"Please attempt to warn us next time, Zackary," Genesis huffed, moving to adjust the left leg controls and right their stance.
"Yes, Pup, there's no need to show off," his mentor lightly scolded beside him as he also moved the right leg into a better position. Cloud nodded to both statements from his spot at the main controls, trying to keep the power levels even and direct the correct amount for each movement to the corresponding pilot's consoles.
"It is moving again," the familiar calm baritone of Sephiroth informed. "The next strike should end it. Cloud!"
"Yes!" the blonde moved his fingers across the screen, sending extra power to the left hand for Sephiroth's finishing strike. The other four men each worked together with practiced ease, maneuvering the machine to execute a perfect Omnislash.
As the slimy alien bitch fell, Cloud couldn't help but sigh, wondering exactly how much of their pay would be deducted to cover the damage they had caused to the city this time.

AN: Done! That ends today, and I've caught up. Unfortunately, I spent the time I had with the laptop today uploading and fixing up/author's noting these chapters and writing today's. So I'm going to have to hope I can get it tomorrow for tomorrow's drabbles. My cousin's taking this back because it's now 11:30 at night. So, three again, but like I said, maybe five tomorrow.
Now. Favorite! Dai-Guard~ Cause the concept made me wish I'd written more and I love Giant Robot anime. I'm glad I got a chance to write that. Repeats? Whispers in the Dark …well, it's something that belongs in the same universe as the one for the same song last year. I dunno, I just wrote it. The first one was blah. And Yay! First threesome drabble~!
So, I'm caught up! Please review, everyone~ Favorite, Alert, and PM me! Lot of love to all you amazing readers and I hope you all continue to read along as I count down to Christmas. There are only 21 days left!
