Challenge: Zack, Vincent, Cloud, Intelligence.

"Hey look a Vampire!" Zack shouts, pointing at Vincent. Vincent stares at him emotionlessly. Cloud smacks Zack upside the head.

"Sorry about that, he's kind of an idiot," The blonde trooper says, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly as he stares at the Turk. Vincent says nothing.

"Hey, I resent that, I'll have you know I made higher than 100 on the IQ test," Zack says indignantly, crossing his arms and glaring at the smaller man. Cloud sighs.

"And what exactly did you make on the psyche test?" Cloud asks, rolling his eyes as Zack thinks for a moment.

"Umm... Oh look a bird." Zack says, looking up. Cloud stares at him, Vincent looks up then redirects his gaze towards Zack.

"Zack, we're indoors." Cloud states with the experience of one who is used to dealing with Zack. Zack frowns and Vincent continues to stare emotionlessly.

"A pterodactyl then," Zack adds, Cloud shakes his head.

"Pterodactyls are extinct Zack," Cloud sighs, rubbing his forehead.

"Superman..." Zack says hopefully, eyes bright as he looks at Cloud. The blonde's eye twitches as Vincent watches silently.

"Do you want me to shoot him? It would certainly save you a lot of trouble and headaches." Vincent asks, looking at Cloud who sweatdrops. Zack looks confused.

"You're a vampire, vampires don't shoot people they bite." Zack pauses and looks at Vincent who looks back. Zack pales. "OH MY PANCAKES! YOU'RE GOING TO EAT ME!" Zack screeches, running down the hall in a panic. Several innocent employees stare at his back in confusion then look at Cloud and Vincent who shrug... Well Cloud shrugs.

"Not the brightest bulb in the package is he?" Vincent remarks, before heading wherever he was going before all this happened. Cloud sighs and follows after Zack, hoping that he wasn't hiding in the vents... or the ladies bathroom.


Honestly, out of all the things in this fic, I love Zack's dialogue the most. I really do.

Thanks to all for reading and reviewing.
