Disclaimer: You know I don't think I have actually wrote this out...

Surprise! I've updated! ^.^ So be prepared to laugh hard at this and fight all of those questions again... ^.^ No I don't hate you guys, I am just writing a story. Thanks for reading the story!


Zack brought up the blade and swung it down. He stared at the broken, shredded piece of metal. He let the blade slip from his hands. Sure, it was just a practice dummy, but his intent wasn't to mutilate it. He watched the destroyed automaton disappear with the surroundings. He didn't want to kill it. He wasn't supposed have the ability to kill it this quickly. Angeal was at this level and Zack just beat it with no sweat. What is happening to me!

The training room's door opened. Zack didn't look back. He knew that it was Kunsel. He had asked Kunsel to shut the program off it overpowered Zack. He of course didn't tell Kunsel that Angeal wasn't with him because Zack wasn't supposed to be training until he was medically cleared. It had been two weeks since Zack had gotten over being sick. He would have been cleared for fieldwork two days afterwards but he was dumb enough to get a concussion on top of it all. That alone shouldn't have dragged things out this long, but for some reason he wasn't allowed to go to Shinra doctors for a check-up. That left Dr. Daniel, who was booked in appointments until the end of the week. In conclusion, Zack was stuck at Shinra, not supposed to be training for three whole weeks before he had a chance of being medically cleared. He was getting board of it, which was when he had asked Kunsel to help him train… which turned out to be a bad idea.

"Zack that was amazing!" Kunsel proclaimed coming to stand next to Zack.

"No it's not." Zack countered still staring at the spot where the android once was. "I am not supposed to be able to shred it like that."

"I don't know, I mean one of the great Firsts is your mentor." Kunsel said while talking with his hands. "It was only a matter of time before you could do things that surprised you."

"It did surprise me, but not that I could do it." Zack picked up his weapon, swung it, and put it away. "I mean I knew that I had a slim chance."

"I'm not following." Kunsel said.

"This is the training section that I help Angeal with. Angeal has a hard time with it, and I didn't." Zack felt his frustration rise. "This is something that only a FIRST would have enough strength to do."

"You mean Mako wise?" Kunsel brought his hand up to his mouth in a thinking position.

"Precisely! I don't have the amount of Mako energy in me to do this. At least not the last time I checked." Pain started to squeeze its way into his head. Zack stopped moving. He had no clue why, but it was constantly happening since he was sick. It all started in the stupid examination room.

"Zack?" Kunsel's voice seemed out of place.

A sharp object to Zack's forehead brought him out of his stupor. He looked down to see a Smartie peacefully lying on the floor. "What the heck? What was that for?"

"I didn't throw it, didn't even see it until it landed on the ground in front of you. Is that a Smartie?" Kunsel looked at the object that was now in Zack's hand.

"If you didn't do it, then where did it come from?" Zack started to look around, bewildered.

"By the way Zack, have you talked to Angeal yet about you freezing? It has been happening more lately." Kunsel said as he walked toward the exit.

"You have to be kidding me. I don't think it is a good idea to get Angeal worried about me as well as Commander Genesis." Zack caught up to Kunsel.

"Has Angeal told you any news about his whereabouts?" Kunsel asked as they headed toward the main area.

"I wish he had, that would mean that he would know something as well. I'm starting to get—"

"Zackary Fair." Sephiroth said from down the hall.

"Oh, hi Sehpiroth," Zack said casually waving at him.

Upon seeing the great general, Kunsel stood at attention.

"Where are they?" Sephiroth glared at Zack.

"Where are what?" Zack said, a grin stealing his face.

"Where. Are. My. Pens?" Sephiroth spat each word out.

"Oh you mean your special pens that you use to sign your paper work. The ones that only write when you use them. The ones that you HAVE to use for work or the paper work will be sent back to you because the higher ups will assume that it was a forged signature. Those ones?" Zack asked.

"Yes. Those ones." To say that Sephiroth was ticked off was an understatement. He had spent all morning and lunchtime trying to find the stupid pens so he could do some amount of work.

Kunsel took two tentative steps backwards to avoid anything that might happen to his soon to be dearly departed good friend. Sure, Zack was his friend, but that didn't mean he was going to be dumb enough to stand between the general and his target. Everyone knew that it was a bad idea to get in front of the firing squad, a stupid idea to play Russian roulette, and a suicidal idea to stand in between Sephiroth and his prey. Kunsel was not suicidal.

"I hid them." Zack said shrugging.

"Where." Sephiroth looked like he was about to pull out the Masamune. Zack looked like he might pull the weapon from behind his back and attack the general. Then something flew through the air.

"Ouch!" Zack rubbed his forehead where a Dum-Dum had struck. He picked it up and looked around. Kunsel was behind him there was no way that he could have thrown it. He was having a stare down with Sephiroth, so he didn't do it. There was no one in the hall with the three. "Where did the stupid sucker come from?!"

"Where are my pens." Sephiroth demanded.

"Tech, you're no fun. I put them in the bottom draw in Angeal's desk." Zack said as he walked away.

"Fair. Were you in the training room without Angeal?" Sephiroth asked before Zack got too far away.

"Ummm… I was board?" Zack tried to get out of trouble. Sephiroth wasn't supposed to see us.

"Fair." Sephiroth sighed. "Hand me your security card."

"What—"

"You were told not to go without your mentor until you were medically cleared." Sephiroth said. "You disobeyed direct orders. As punishment hand me your security card."

"Yes, sir," Zack looked like a dejected puppy kicked out of the house on a cold night. Dug in his pockets for the card and handed it to Sephiroth.

XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

Angeal had finally settled into a routine of doing his paperwork. Usually it only took him 5 minutes, but with Zack acting strange and Genesis turning up MIA… well it took him longer than usual. He was half way through his fifth paper or a half an hour since he started the tedious task, when a soft knock came from the door.

"Come in Sephiroth." Angeal said, not looking up from his paper work.

"Your student had hidden my pens in your bottom draw; I have come to retrieve them." Sephiroth stopped in front of his friend's desk.

Angeal sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He scooted his chair back and opened the bottom draw. There sat Sephiroth's pens, catching the light. What was Zack thinking?

"What am I going to do with him?" Angeal quickly fished them out and handed the pens to their rightful owner. Angeal looked up at Sephiroth.

"I do not care. I personally didn't do anything." Sephiroth turned around, hair fanning in an arch around his body.

"You didn't punish him?" Angeal asked.

"No." Sephiroth walked out of Angeal's office.

Sephiroth was definitely ticked off, but he must be as worried as Angeal was about Genesis and Zack. Angeal shook his head and continued his paper work. 10 minutes later, four papers signed, a knock came at his door. Angeal set down his pen and sighed.

"Come in." Angeal called.

"Sir," A SECOND entered and saluted the FIRST. "Director Lazard is requesting for your presences on the SOLDEIR floor immediately."

"Alright," Angeal got up and followed the SECOND out of his office, onto the elevator and off.

Angeal groaned as he heard "It's a Small World After All" being sung on the top of his student's lungs. He stood astonished at the scene in front of him. Zack was walking on his hands on the back of the couches, singing. His anger rose with every second as he watched this… this…

"Front and Center SECOND class SOLDIER Zackary Fair!" Angeal yelled over Zack.

Zack was off the couch and in front of him in under a second, with a serious face. "Sir!"

Angeal grabbed his student's ear and dragged him off to the elevator.

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Angeal! That hurts." Zack pleaded as he walked sideways to keep his ear from pulling as much as possible.

Angeal ignored him. Once they got to the elevator, Angeal quickly ushered Zack in and hit the up button. "What were you doing?"

"Entertaining myself." Zack said sounding very pleased.

"If you were that board why didn't you come ask me if I had any errands?" Angeal felt his anger fade, not all of it. He was still upset, but he was no longer angry.

"Um…" Zack blushed. "I forgot my card in my room."

Angeal pinched the bridge of his nose and quickly pressed the button for floor with their room. Once the door was opened, he shoved Zack out. "Get your card, stay out of trouble, and next time call me."

XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD

Zack watched as the elevator doors closed. "&*%^! Now I am stuck on this floor!"

He quickly pulled out his phone; he found Kunsel's number and dialed it.

"Zack?" Kunsel picked up.

"Hey buddy!" Zack playfully said dragging out the words.

"No."

"But I didn't say anything!" Zack complained.

"I don't care what it is. No." Kunsel emphasized his point by hanging up on Zack.

"Fine, I'll just call Reno!" Zack yelled at his friend even though Kunsel couldn't hear him.

2 Hours Later

Zack slumped in the couch in Angeal's and his shared apartment. 2 hours later, 100 people called, and still no rescue from the floor. It was now midafternoon and Zack had done nothing today except steal Sephiroth's pens, get caught training when he wasn't supposed to be, and be reprimanded for trying to entertain himself. Today was just not his day. He was SO board!

"That's it! I need to get out." Zack started to look around the room for a way out. That is when he spotted the window. He walked over to it and opened it. He was 50 sorties plus off the ground. He spotted a building a crossed from him. I might be able to make it…though the odds aren't on my side if I don't….

"Instant death by falling or slow and painful death of boredom…hmmm…." Zack used his hands to help weigh the two situations. "No contest! Instant death by falling here I come."
