Ch. 21- Coming to you part 2

Zack was starting to have second thoughts about this Genna person. Yes, strange as it seems, Zack Fair, the friendliest person at ShinRa was contemplating not having Genna be his friend. Now why, do you ask, would Zack contemplate such a thing? Simple; she was annoying. And rude. And possibly certifiably insane.

Everything had started out well. Zack had given his report to Lazard, then took advantage of being early and took a quick shower. It wouldn't do good to walk around Midgar with a pretty lady smelling like a dead monster. Even if they were only doing it as friends; it was just rude. Not to mention that dead monster smelled horrible.

Anyways, so he took a quick shower and bounced (not skipped, that's unmanly) to Angeal's office. When he arrived, everything seemed normal. Angeal was doing the montain of paperwork currently occupying his desk, while Genna was sitting on his couch reading a book. Had Zack looked closer, he would've noticed that the book, with its dark blue cover and fancy gold script, looked familiar from somewhere. Alas, our favorite puppy was too busy to notice such an insignificant detail. "Hiya Geal! Genna!" he announced joyously, a big grin plastered on his face.

"Hey," Angeal said, not taking his attention from the paperwork in front of him. Genna just looked up at him for a moment, smiled, and turned back to her book. Zack wasn't put out in any way by their lack of enthusiasm. He knew that not everyone was as happy-go-lucky as he was.

"So," he said, turning towards Genna, "Are you ready?" Genna shut her book and looked up, nodding her head and smiling. Zack smiled in return. Angeal watched the two from underneath his eyelashes. He pitied his puppy. Had Zack known Genesis better, he would have recognized the evil smirk for what it was. Since that wasn't the case, Zack remained unaware of the evil coming his way. However, just because Angeal pitied his student, that didn't mean he was going to clue the young man in to Genesis's actions. While Angeal didn't usually like Genesis's teaching methods, they were known to be useful. Maybe his puppy would actually learn to stop playing pranks on others, and what better teacher than his number one prank victim. So Angeal just sighed quietly and went back to his paperwork. Genesis would keep Zack occupied, and maybe he could finally catch up on his paperwork.

Genesis was having a lot of fun. Currently, they were walking down Loveless Avenue. Zack, having never been that way before, eagerly agreed when Genesis asked if they could walk down there. Genesis, of course, had been there many times, so it was nothing new to him. Since he could tell Zack had never been to that particular part of Midgar before, Genesis went into a long monologue about to history of Loveless Avenue. Especially of how it was named that because of the play that played at the theater on a regular basis.

Now, since Loveless was practically Genesis's pride and joy, he talked to Zack about it. A lot. He had practically launched into one of his epic, hour long monologues. And it was boring Zack to death, that much was for sure. "So, what do you think that stanza means Zack?" He asked, grabbing Zack's attention to him. Genesis gave him a grin, feeling like a total idiot but knowing it would get Zack to respond.

"What stanza again?" he asked, rubbing the back of his head. "I kinda started daydreaming there."

Perfect, Genesis thought to himself with malicious glee. He tried to bring tears to his eyes before he replied in a quiet voice. "You were daydreaming?" he sniffled. "Am I that boring to you?" He looked down at his feet, playing the hurt maiden perfectly. He did a little internal dance of glee at the expression on Zack's face. It was absolutely priceless, the horrified way he looked. Genesis only wished he had a camera to capture the beautiful moment. This is going to be so easy, Genesis thought.

-break—

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Zack internally berated himself. Not only did he managed to get distracted by something shiny when he and Genna were walking down Loveless Avenue, but he managed to make her cry. All because she thought she was boring him. After that, she had been quiet and subdued, not even bothering to start up her explanation of Loveless again.

He had told jokes, showed her weird people, even doing tricks, all to make her laugh. He would even be content with a smile, anything other than the hurt look she had while she walked. Not of it was working, and Zack was starting to feel more and more like a jerk.

Suddenly Genna, who had been walking in front of him, stopped suddenly and he ran right into her. Before he could apologize she turned, with a cruel look in her eyes. "Watch where you are walking." She said in the harshest voice he had ever heard. It reminded him a little bit of Genesis when he was pissed at a group of cadets. Her eyes even flashed in anger like his did. The resemblance was eerie.

Now, Zack should have realized that Genna wasn't who she said she was, but he was too busy looking contrite to notice. "Sorry," he mumbled. "I didn't mean to run into you." Genna huffed, then turned and continue to walk away from him at a much faster pace than she was earlier. Zack had to practically jog to catch up.

Five minutes later, Zack's mood had turned even darker. He was supposed to be giving her a tour of Midgar. Not making her cry or pissed off at him. He was starting to doubt his abilities, when suddenly Genna turned and bounded over to him. "Hiya Zack!" she said, giving him a big bear hug. "How are you? What are you doing here in Midgar? I thought you were in Costa del Sol on a vacation? When did you get back? Oh my gosh, did you have fun? You must tell me all about it!" She then squealed, then turned around and skipped away.

Zack was speechless. Was it just him or did Genna's mood suddenly do a 180? He shook his head to try to clear the confusion slowing down his thought process. It didn't work, only made him dizzy. Not a second later, something hard hit him in the head. One hand rubbed the back of his head where the projectile hit him, while he looked down at his feet to see what it was. To his surprise it was a rock. And not a small one either. It had to be at least the size of an apple. He turned around to see who threw the rock at him, only to see Genna with her hands behind her back, whistling as she walked in a circle. Since, no one else was within throwing distance, Zack became suspicious.

"Genna?" he asked, getting her attention.

"yeah?" She replied, a grin on her face.

Zack gave her a confused look. "Did you just throw a rock at me?"

She nodded her head up and down energetically. "Yep!" she said with joy before skipping away. Zack was befuddled. He couldn't understand this weird girl, and it made him wonder why she was friends with his mentor. Sadly for him, this was only the beginning of Genna's antics. Gaia help him.

Later that night, Genesis walked into Angeal's office, a full blown grin on his face. Angeal couldn't help but smile at the joy he saw on his childhood friend's face. It had been a long time since he had seen Genesis so happy, and he was glad for it. Even if it was at the expense of his puppy.

"I'm guessing you two had a fun time around Midgar?" Angeal asked, an eyebrow raised.

Genesis's grin turned into one of malicious glee. "Well, I did. Your puppy on the other hand, I'm not so sure about. I could definitely get used to being a girl, especially if it means I can torment Zack to my heart's content." He laughed evilly before leaving Angeal's office. Angeal only sighed and shook his head. He would find out the extent of the damage on his puppy in the morning, for now he was going to go back home.

-the next morning—

"Angeal?" Zack asked before training, a confused look on his face.

"Yeah, Zack?" Angeal asked, knowing what his protégé was going to say.

"Your friend is crazy with a capital C." Zack said as he sat down on the floor.

"I know Zack," Angeal replied, having to hide a smirk.
