"Hhhhaaaa," sighed Zack stretching her arms. "Month number six. Can you believe it's here already?"

"Why, what's so special about Month six?" asked Sephiroth.

"I dunno," shrugged Zack. "It's just month six, not that I'm keeping track or anything."

"If you're not then who is?" asked Sephiroth.

"Well," said Zack touching her chin. "You guys—Shin-Ra—Lazard, he lets me know every day heh heh."

"I'm sure of that," said Genesis. "Well I'm glad to see you're getting used to your temporary body."

"Yeah—you can say I have," she said with a smile as her eyes twinkled at Angeal.

"How is Hojo coming along?" asked Genesis turning to Sephiroth.

"He said he's three-fourths of the way done," said Sephiroth.

"Probably means you have to wait another three months," said Angeal looking at Zack.

"So what," shrugged Zack finding a place to sit. "If I could wait this long I could wait that long."

"Always so optimistic Zack," said Angeal.

"You know me," she said with a smile as she pointed her thumb at her chest.

"Hm, sometimes I see that old Zack in you and—I miss him," said Genesis.

"We all do," said Angeal.

"Hate to say that I'm not sure that I do," sighed Zack flapping her arms to her side. "But hey—we'll see when I can have the choice to change back."

"Hm, it's expected," said Sephiroth with a shake of his head. "But I'd like to say that I'm gonna welcome him back with open arms."

"Till that day," said Genesis holding his sword up in the air.

"Till that day," said Sephiroth joining.

"Till that day," said Angeal joining as well.

All three looked at Zack and just waited. She nodded and smiled as she got up with a smile and took out her sword saying—

"Till that day."

Her sword clashed with the others and they all just smiled not being able to wait until their gang was normal again. It would be nice to think about every once in a while.

"You okay Zack?" asked a soldier to her seeing how she had fallen in their sparring for no well reason.

"Yeah I'm fine," she said taking his hand and getting up. "I just lost my balance is all."

"Well keep care of your footing," he said.

"I know, I know, Angeal's been tellin' me that for ages," said Zack fluttering her eyes upward.

"Well I'm done for the day," said the man stretching. "How 'bout you?"

"Hmm, oh I have a dinner today," said Zack with a smile.

"With someone?" the man asked.

"Yes with someone," she said looking at him wondering why he acted so strange. "Why—can I not have dinner with people?"

"No it's just—I thought Shin-Ra doesn't want you seeing people since—well you know," said the man.

"Oh, oh, I see," said Zack shaking her head. "Don't worry it's not like that. Just experiments is all. You know since I'm a girl and all, just not like that."

"Yeah—I guess I get you," said the man. "Well take care Zack."

"You too," she called to him before he left.

She smiled and once she turned she had ran right into a light. She held out her arms and shook her head saying—

"Gotta keep that balance Zack."

That day she had been acting strange and no one knew why. Not even Angeal—who was closest to her at the time, could tell. Once she showed up for dinner her mood went from romantic to disrespectful.

Zack looked at the candlelit dinner before her and just smiled. Angeal was ready to give her her chair, but she just crossed her arms and said—

"You know what—I don't feel like eating anymore."

"What?" asked Angeal. "But I thought you haven't eaten in a while."

"Oh I ate a bar," she said shaking her hand. "Look can we just skip the romantic dinner and go straight to bed?"

"Uh, Zack!" said Angeal offended.

"What?" she asked raising her shoulders. "I know it's all guys think about."

"That's not true," said Angeal.

"Is too," she said crossing her arms.

"What's gotten in to you?" asked Angeal.

"I don't know—maybe I'm PMSing," she said looking upward.

"Perhaps you are," said Angeal scanning her up and down.

"Well if I am, I am, now can we please go to bed now?" she asked begging a bit.

"Zack, I'm not like that," said Angeal.

"You can be for me," she said with a mischievous smile on her face.

Angeal turned his head away from Zack and looked at the nice dinner he had prepared for her. It seemed like such a waste, but usually whatever Zack said goes. She had a strange hold over men—it was like she learned the secret all woman want.

Angeal rolled his head slightly just before he sighed out slightly—

"Fine."

"What?" asked Zack not catching what he said.

But Angeal never repeated himself. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her over to the table. After a quick swipe from his arm the table was clear and Zack was tossed on it. Zack let out a gasp of surprise and soon followed by excitement.

She looked at Angeal in front of her who hastened himself to get his buckles undone. She gave off a smile seeing Angeal like this. This was pretty much as close to his bad side as she was going to get, but she didn't mind.

It wasn't long before Angeal was done and came up to Zack to quickly thrust himself into her. Zack tossed her head back and let out a short grunt, but soon let out small moans as Angeal began to move inside her. Angeal placed his hands beside Zack to hold himself in place. Zack just gripped his back and squeezed her thighs together around his hips.

Out of the two months they've been seeing each other this still never got tiresome. Yes Zack still referred to this as experiments so not to grow so attached, but she wasn't so sure about Angeal. Lately he's been wanting to spend more time with Zack like on outings and dinners and such. Though Angeal never said it Zack always saw that it seemed like dates.

She didn't mind, but she didn't know he'd grow that attached to her in that way. She told him it was just for fun, but lately—Angeal's been acting different. She thought that maybe it was because of her mood swings from being a woman and all, but now she wasn't so sure. This never did cross her mind that much though seeing how she always seemed to get what she wanted out of him.

"Uh, Angeal—I'm getting really uncomfortab—ah!" started Zack but couldn't finish as she climaxed and soon felt Angeal release in her.

After that Angeal pulled out of her and began to control his breathing. Zack just sat on the table and did the same. Once done Angeal turned to leave, but Zack caught him by the wrist. Once Angeal turned and looked at her she smiled and said kindly—

"Thanks Angeal."

Angeal just nodded and then went into the bathroom. Zack needed some freshing up too, but she could wait. As she stood up and situated her dress she looked around at the mess on the floor and just sighed.

Soon, all of the sudden, an urge came upon her and she was famished. Zack looked at all the food and it looked delicious, but she wasn't hungry for that. What she wanted was some fruit. She licked her lips and headed to the kitchen and found nothing but apples.

"Heh, Genesis has struck again," she chuckled as she took one and began to eat it.

Once she turned around she saw Angeal come out of the bathroom. He looked at her and dropped his hands to his sides saying—

"What, now you're hungry?"

"You know me," she said with a smile as she took another bit. "Having sex gives me an appetite."

"Well then I'll be sure to remember that before you cause me to ruin a perfectly good dinner," said Angeal shaking his head and going to get a glass of water.

"So-rry Sheesh," said Zack widening her eyes for an instant. "I can't help being a girl."

"Sure," said Angeal taking a sip from his water.

Zack couldn't help but let out a giggle as she took another bit. After that apple she seemed quite satisfied, until her hunger for sex returned. After grabbing another apple she dragged Angeal into the bedroom and finished her 'hunger'. Soon after that she was free to leave satisfied and she did.

The next day she had trouble in training and none knew why. Angeal asked what was wrong for usually she was at the top of her game every morning, but this was different. All Zack could say was she didn't know. Soon she began to fear it was some side effect of Hojo's little 'test'.

"What if it is?!" asked Zack looking at Angeal, Genesis, and Sephiroth.

"Then we just kill the doctor," said Sephiroth with a hint of a smile.

"This is not the time to be joking Sephiroth," said Angeal.

"Who said I was?" he asked with a small roll of his shoulders.

"Why don't you go see the doctors?" asked Genesis bending to where Zack was sitting down just scared of everything. "They could tell you if it is or not."

"And if it is—what then?" asked Zack looking at the scarlet man.

"Then Shin-Ra will get onto Hojo and you'll probably have to run through more tests," sighed Angeal.

"Yeah—I thought so," said Zack bringing her knees to her chin. "That always seems the way of things."

"Not necessarily true," said Genesis. "Lazard seems to be on your side. He doesn't like what Hojo's done and if he finds out you do have a side effect this might actually turn him completely against Hojo, if he isn't already."

"Yeah, well I hope I'm not deforming is all," said Zack standing up. "I'm gonna go see Lazard."

"Take care Zack," said Angeal giving her a pat on the back before she left.

"WHAT?!?!" screeched Zack slamming her hands on the director's desk. "What do you mean I'm pregnant?!!!"

"It simply means—you're pregnant," said Lazard with a sigh trying to maintain himself.

"Look!" she said smacking her hands down again and getting but inches from Lazard. "I am a man!"

" . . . Yes . . . I can see that," said Lazard slightly scanning her.

Zack then looked down at herself and then backed away from Lazard and crossed her arms. She cleared her throat and turned her head to him and asked—

"So—what are you going to do about it?"

"Nothing so far," said Lazard folding his hands. "But I'm gonna need to know who the father is."

Zack bit her bottom lip as she turned from Lazard. How could she tell when Angeal might get in trouble for this? How was she going to tell Angeal? Oh man this was worse than being stuck in a closet with a Summon.

"If you don't tell Zack," said Lazard straightening the rims of his glasses. "I will find him—one way or the other."

"I was afraid of that," whispered Zack as she sweated.

What was she going to do?

Hot Shot's girl: As the chp says--Uh oh lol, well we shall see how Zack cracks later on XP
