Dana snuggled down between the covers of the bunk she was sleeping in. She clamped her eyes shut and refused to move. "Nmm-hmm!"

"Dana, come on!"

"nnnhhhhh…."

Cloud sighed. "Why me?" He nudged the bundle of quilts again. "Dana, the ship is about to dock…you gotta get up."

Dana poked her head up over the covers and squinted at Cloud. "Huh?"

"Get. Up. The ship is gonna dock."

"Oh…" Dana threw back the covers and swung her legs over the edge of the bunk. Cloud's eyes opened wide, and then he blushed and turned away quickly.

"Huh?" Dana looked down and shrieked. Her nightgown had ridden all the way up her legs and Cloud could see her underwear. "Sorry!" she said as she yanked the covers over herself again.

"Yeah…I'll…let you get dressed. I'll see you outside…or something." Cloud started to walk out of the room and then stopped dead in his tracks. Dana had caught his arm and was holding onto him. "Ummm…"

Dana smiled up at his. "You don't have to leave ya know."

Cloud could feel the heat rising up his neck as his face got red. "I…uhh…I'm just…err…"

Ring ring

Cloud snatched his phone and looked at it. "I gotta take this call…outside."

Dana frowned as Cloud rushed out the door to the deck. "Damn it…" She grabbed her clothes and hurriedly put them on.

Cloud flipped his phone open and hit the 'talk' button.

"I could kiss you right now!"

"What the fuck did you just say to me??"

"Well…not for real…"

Zack sighed on the other end of the phone. "You're crazy man…fucking crazy."

"Yeah well, Dana and I just-"

"You did it!?"

"NO!! Shit man…stop thinking like that…it's really creeping me out."

"Oh well…wishful thinking I guess. So then, what about you and Dana?"

"I think you were right when you said she likes me…"

"Well DUH!! When are you gonna start trusting me Spike?"

'Shut up. You find out anything on Seph's girl?"

"Working on it. I got Reno on stag now. He's gonna call in if anything happens. Thanks goodness for having friends in the Turks, huh?"

"Yeah, you can say that again."

"Cloud! Come on! We gotta get off the ship now." Dana walked up to Cloud and motioned for him to follow her.

"I should go Zack…let me know what you find out o.k?"

"You bet Spike! Have fun…or at least try to."

"Right…Bye Zack."

"Later Cloud"

Cloud snapped his phone shut and follow Dana off the ship.

Dana turned to look at Cloud with a huge smile on her face. "We're back on land! I bet you're happy about that, huh?"

"Yeah…I'm feeling better already!"

"Let's go then!"

"Ow! Damnit, next time Zack wants surveillance done he can do it himself! Fucking slacker…" Reno shifted his position and rubbed his cramped back. He had been hiding out in the air ducts for the past 3hrs, spying on General Sephiroth. Not that there was anything to see…it looked like the General's 'lady friend' wasn't coming in this morning. Reno's phone vibrated in his pocket. He reached in and pulled in out…Zack had sent him a text.

"anything yet?"

Reno texted him back. "no its ur turn to b on stag…get ur ass over here asap boss is gonna kill me if im gone any longer.

"on my way"

Reno baked out of the vent and dropped down into the men's bathroom. Zack was waiting for him.

"You think she's gonna show?" Zack asked.

Reno shrugged and brushed some dust off his shoulder. "Don't think she will today…you said Cloud saw it happen before 7:00am. Maybe it's an every other day routine."

"Hmmmmm…text me when you can take over, alright?"

Reno turned and walked towards the door. "You got it…"

Zack pulled himself up into the duct. This was gonna be fun.

Cloud and Dana had been walking for about 35min when Dana got really quite and broody.

Cloud shifted the pack on his back and glanced over at Dana. "You o.k?" He asked.

Dana stopped and looked at her feet. "You…you're really kind for helping me out Cloud. And no matter what happens, I just want you to know that what you're doing means a lot to me."

Cloud turned to face his companion. "Is that all?"

Dana looked up and smiled a little. She nodded. "For now. Let's go. My home's right over that ridge."

Cloud looked to where she was pointing and nodded. "O.k, let's move it."

Zack snapped his head up. He had fallen asleep again! He rubbed his eyes and looked down into the General's office. "FUCK!!" Zack had been in here way too long…it was past 11:00pm! Why hadn't Reno contacted him? Zack pulled out his phone and made a face…the stupid thing had died on him.

"Fuckin piece of junk…"

Zack backed out of the duct and carefully started to tip-toed back to his room. He was dead meat if anyone saw him sneaking around. Thankfully, he made it back to his room without running into anyone. He slowly opened the door, slipped into his room and then shut the door. Leaning his head on the door, he let out a sigh.

Then the light flicked on.

Zack spun around and was met with an icy cold glare.

"Where have you been!!"

Go ahead, say it… I. Am. Mean. Hehe…

I'm really making you wait to find out who Seph's girl is…gotta keep you ppl coming back for more! Lol
