"Mhh... Where am I?" asked Cloud standing up to see, a crystal city, water dripping from the altar, he saw crystal steps, and darkness. He looked around, he noticed he was wearing clothes similar to Zack's, his body was taller and more muscular than normal, he didn't understand what was going on. He looked up to see a girl, she had brownish red hair, blueish green eyes, and she had on a pink dress with a red jacket.
"Miss? Are you alright?" asked Cloud, he hopped over to her. She looked up at him with a kind and warm smile, she looked like she was praying. Cloud reached out his hand, "Are you alright?"
All she did in reply was smile then, a shadow like figure dropped down behind her, and stabbed her through, Cloud watched in horror as she died infront of him, he looked at the figure, and it was Sephiroth! He stepped backwards, and caught the young woman's body. Blood covered his hand, her gentle green eyes, lifeless, and empty, a minute ago laced with hope and joy, he stared into them, he then felt like his heart was crushed, like he knew her, Sephiroth had faded into the background and dissapeared.
"I'm sorry." murmured Cloud closeing her eyes.
Beep beep beep beep
"Hm?" said cloud rolling over to see an alarm clock going off. "Oh, the alarm clock." he hesitantly turned it off, and got up, he had an awful dream, and he was really hopeing to go back to sleep but to no avail. He walked out of the room, to see Zack already up and playing with the smaller version of Sephiroth. Sephiroth laughed every time Zack would poke his little tummy, and when Zack would say ,"Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!" really fast when Sephiroth would pull his hair.
"G'mornin', Cloud, how are you?" asked Zack in his happy mood.
"Uh... Sleepy I guess." replied Cloud looking down at the small general, two big green eyes, fixed themselves on Cloud.
"Papa!" chimed Sephiroth happily. Cloud stopped in his tracks, as did Zack, both of them looked down at Sephiroth, "Papa!" he said again.
"He... Just said his first word." said Zack, he looked down at Sephiroth in disbelife. That was the first word Sephiroth has said so far in his tot/infant form.
"Uh... W-what do I... Say?" asked Cloud, he had not been prepared to be called "papa", ever before now, not to mention, by Sephiroth himself. The tot looked over to Zack and smiled, a cute childish smile.
"Mama!" chimed Sephiroth looking at Zack. Zack sweat dropped, never had he before prepared himself to be called "mama", by anyone, because he was a man.
'I guess it's ok, Sephiroth really at this age, shouldn't know his females from males yet.' thought Zack.
'Gender confusion, but oh well, I guess every kid needs a mama.' thought Cloud.
"Good job!" said Zack as he picked up Sephiroth, and tickled him a little, the child smiled and laughed a lot, he grabbed onto Zack's wrist to make him stop, but he kept on, "I bet I know someone who's hungry." said Zack looking down at Sephiroth.
"I'll warm up the bottle, remember yesterday?" asked Cloud.
"Ok, Zack, do not over heat the bottle!" said Cloud, sitting in the living room, playing with Sephiroth.
"Don't worry I won't, you just keep an eye on Sephiroth, he can be a little sneek some times." said Zack walking into the kitchen, "Ok, let's see, put it on 140 and let is soak in hot water."
10minutes later... Boom!
Zack! Zack are you ok!" asked Cloud running in to see Zack, laying on the floor, dumbfounded, with pieces of glass, and hot steaming milk everywhere.
"I... Guess I over heated... The bottle?" asked Zack, his let his head lay back, and it hit the refirgerator door.
"Ok, so maybe I'm not good at heating up bottles." said Zack sweat dropping.
"Yeah, I'll leave you, to baby sitting." said Cloud walking into the kitchen.
"Hey, i'm not that bad!" said Zack, like he had just been slapped by a woman, he sounded goofy, and hurt at the same time, but he was just jokeing. Sephiroth cuddled up against the 'mother-figure' and started cooing, Zack pet his hair, and started whispering a little song to Sephiroth.
"Let's see, hmmm..." said Cloud heating up the bottle, "Ah, it feals done." said Cloud takeing out the bottle and turning off the oven.
Cloud walked back in to see, Zack holding Sephiroth, and singing to him, the baby cooed, and sucked on his thumb. Zack jumped seeing Cloud standing there in mid shock.
"Good singing voice." said Cloud.
"How long have you been standing there!" asked Zack.
"About 1 minute." said Cloud, "You know you could go on Midgar Idol."
"Uh... Yeah I guess." said Zack, takeing the bottle from Cloud, sitting down, and put the spout into Sephiroth's mouth.
"Heh, that's a part I didn't know about you." said Cloud.
"Yeah well I found out something about you last night." said Zack. Cloud gasped he thought Zack had raped him in his sleep, and did what ever he wanted with his body, he then felt so naked.
"You snore, really, really loud. You woke me, and Sephiroth up three times last night. I think I'll need ear plugs for tonight." said Zack. Cloud heaved a sigh of relife, "Oh and you roll around a lot, you even rolled on top of me, and started talking about, a girl, and if you could help, and something about you being sorry."
"Hmm... I wonder what I drame about." said Cloud. Sephiroth broke the silence with a loud laugh, both cloud and Zack came out of their dazes, and looked at Sephiroth, he had gotten done drinking and the bottle had gone down, Zack's shirt.
"Oh boy, hold Seph, would ya Cloud." said Zack walking into the bathroom, to remove the bottle from his garments.
"Well that was unexpected." said Cloud looking at the bathroom door.
Well that was chapter three, yay it was so cute! Come on you know you just wanna say "Awwwww!" Well till next time, sayonara!
