So sorry it has been awhile... I have kind of lost my interest in writing this... :( I will not stop writing... It'll just take longer to post chapters. Sorry, :/ but that is life. Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading this. I definitely did as I reread this before I posted it. Oh, and to get this up quicker I didn't send it to the person who has been reading over it. *Claps hands and bring them above head* Sorry! So there maybe some errors... But I didn't see any after the fourth time I read it. :) Enjoy!

Dan looked around the lounge, he smiled in satisfaction to see it void of any other living creature. It was just him and his Jade. He leaned down and gave her a peck on the check.

"Oh, you," Jade giggled. She was about average height with shoes that clicked on the floor. Her red curly hair was drawn back into a high ponytail that bounced with each step. Makeup graced her angelic face, making her look like a goddess. She smiled with red lips as a Dan led her into the room, their hands interlocked.

"See Sweetie, I told you we would have the room to ourselves." Dan announced as he sat on the couch. He was about three inches taller than the secretary was. He had a broad form, mako-blue eyes, and scars on his body. How did a typical Soldier like me gain a beautiful woman that Jade is!

"Are you sure we won't get in trouble, Babe?" Jade asked in a high, sweet voice as she looked around.

"As long as we don't get caught," Dan smiled deviously and pulled Jade down into his lap as they started kissing.

"Hey!" Jade jumped off of Dan's lap as a deep voice called out. "Yeah, you!"

"Who's there?" Jade's voice was shrill as she pleaded with the intruding voice.

"Don't think you can get away with it." The voice came again. Dan looked around trying to locate it as well ready to be chewed out or do the chewing. He was right in the middle of the ranks so if a Third class was threatening him, well he would threaten back. However, if it wasn't…well he could be in a world of trouble, especially if General Sephiroth.

"I don't want anyone kissing on me. It's bad enough that you have to sit on me! I mean come on!" The mysterious voice whined.

"Ghost!" Jade ran off down the hallway, her heals clicking all the way.

"Sweetie, hang on." Dan ran after her. I hope this doesn't end it between us!

Jack stormed down the hall his big feet bouncing off the empty hallway. If those Third classes tried that stunt again, he would be taking it up with Director Lazard. Kids these days do not have any respect!

Sighing in relief at the sight of the empty lounge, Jack took his cup of coffee and sat on the couch, finally some piece and quite.

"Aw man! You've got to be kidding me!" A muffled voice complained.

"What do you want." Jack demanded as he started to drink his cup.

"You better not spill that! I mean that would hurt!" The voice complained yet agian.

Jack looked up to correct whoever was complaining. Soldiers should never complain about anything. His breath caught in his throat when he found the room empty.

"Not only that, but it'll stain." The voice seemed to come from nowhere.

"Where—" Jack cleared his voice so it was back to its baritone. "Where are you?"

"Come on, you should know that!" The voice challenged mockingly.

"G-g-g-g-ghost!" Jack's hands started to shake as the color drained from his face. He dropped his cup on the floor and exited the room as fast as his feet would carry him.

Kunsel sighed as he slumped onto the couch. Training has been extra tough this time. Something about this was one of their last class training sections. "Man, do I hurt!"

"Tell me about it." A voice called out. "Does this have to happen all the time?"

Kunsel blinked his eyes behind his helmet; he could almost put a finger on that voice. "It doesn't happen all the time. That is a bit of an exaggeration."

"Nah… not that big of one." The voice drawled out. Kunsel looked around to see whom the speaker was; he knew that voice.

"Alright, where are you?" Kunsel asked.

"What do you mean 'where are you?'" The stranger asked as if he was confused.

"Well, I can't see you." Kunsel stated slowly hopefully this isn't the ghost that Jack was claiming he encountered. Kunsel shook his head at the sight of one of the most hated Soldier crying like a baby.

"Hmmm, I thought if you could hear me then you would be able to see me…" The voice sounded dejected. "I guess…"

Kunsel wasn't sure what the last bit of the sentence was as he was already running off to the elevator.

Zack ran and slid under an outcropping. He looked over at a figure hidden in the darkness. He would have reached out, but the space wasn't big enough for that. He held his breathe as feet rushed by. He looked out underneath the crack with wild eyes. They will not go back.

Sephiroth was finishing the last of the paperwork for the day. He was quite satisfied that he had accomplished this much and it was only 1400 hours. As he dotted his 'i' and crossed his 't', a knock resonated through his office.

"Come in," Sephiroth commanded, placing the last of his paper work on the corner of his desk and putting his pens in his top drawer, locking it. He didn't want to give Zack another opportunity to steal them again.

"Sir," a Third stepped in and saluted. "We cannot find Fair."

"You have looked everywhere?" Sephiroth inquired standing up.

"Yes sir," the third responded. "Well, all but the Soldier lounge, sir."

"Why has no one searched the lounge yet?" Sephiroth inquired looking at the Third.

"We-ll-l, sir there has been many reports that there is a g-g-g-ghost there, and no one has been will-ing to venture into the lounge yet..." The Third said weakly, staring at his shoes, obviously embarrassed.

"And no one thought that this 'ghost' could be Fair?" Sephiroth inquired.

"He would do something like this wouldn't he?" The third commented scowling at their stupidity.

"You are dismissed. Keep searching for Fair." Sephiroth instructed as the third left. He walked toward his door and looked around. Nodding in approval, he turned the lights off and shut his door. His walk to the elevator was uneventful. Once inside, Sephiroth hit the floor for the Soldiers. He patiently waited for the elevator's 'bing' to walk out. The doors opened up to Soldiers rushing about; all of them stopped to salute Sephiroth. He quickly dismissed them and looked at the Soldier from this morning's discussion with Zack.

"Do you have any information on where he could be hiding?" Sephiroth asked.

"Sephiroth sir," the Second responded. "I don't know. Is he in trouble?"

"He wasn't before," Sephiroth answered. "Now, maybe he is, depending on where he is at and why. Are you worried?"

"I would be lying if I said no, sir." The Second replied. "He has been acting strange recently."

Sephiroth nodded. "Has the lounge been searched yet?"

"I am afraid not yet," the Soldier replied to the ground. "S-sir."

Sephiroth walked past the Soldier and straight into the lounge. He looked around to see that nothing was out of place. "Second Class Soldier Zackary Fair."

The couch shot towards the ceiling, a moment later half of it shatter the window and the other lodged itself in the wall behind the tall figure. A blink later and Zack ran toward Sephiroth with his blade. Sephiroth reached up and grabbed the blade between two hands, noting that it took more strength than is should have.

"Fair," Sephiroth calmly asserted, hoping to snap Zack out of his waking dream.

The pressure on the blade slowly released as Zack blinked at Sephiroth. Then a smile stole his face.

"Seph! Please tell me that you have come to relieve me of my boredom!" Zack declared cheerily, not making a move to put his sword away.

"Put your weapon away." Sephiroth ordered calmly.

"My weapon…?" Zack blinked a few times then looked down to see his broadsword in between Sephiroth's hands. His eyes widen as he gently pulled it back and quickly clipped in to the magnet on his back. "Umm… I am pretty sure there is a good reason for that."

"Indeed," Sephiroth raised an eyebrow and tried to stop Zack for sitting on the couch that was no longer there. Instead, Zack landed on his butt and blinked in surprise.

"Wasn't there a couch here?" Zack remarked. "Where did it go?"

"Well, half of it is there." Kunsel pointed to the wall behind Zack.

"What happened to it! Where's the other half?" Zack jumped to his feet and looked around, noting a crowed was there, all mouths agape.

Kunsel pointed to the broken window. "You did it."

"Me?" Zack blinked in bewilderment.

"What were you doing under the couch Zackary?" Sephiroth asked ignoring the temptation to pinch the bridge of his nose.

"Uhhh…under…Ooh yah!" Zack smiled and bonded to the plants and shuffled within them for a bit. "Ah-ha! Here we go. This is why."

"A camera," Sephiroth looked between the object and Zack as the crowd around them gave off a mixture of shook, anger, and laughter.

"Yah! Here let me show you!" Zack smiled. He took off to the debriefing room, pushing through the crowd and rocked back and forth on his feet for Sephiroth to open the door. As he walked over to the wall, he pulled out the memory of the camera and plugged it in. Sephiroth wasn't sure what to make of the obvious prank that Zack had pulled. He watched as the camera turned on and saw Zack slip under the couch. Sephiroth was about to comment when Soldier Third Class Daniel Flinch and a secretary from downstairs came in. Just as the thoughts about punishment for the Soldier for bring another girl to the Soldier floor crossed his mind, Sephiroth watched as the secretary screamed 'ghost' and ran off. He was definitely not sure what to think about this. A few moments later, Second Class Jack Hew came in and soon enough he too was skittering away declaring ghost. Sephiroth's thoughts were interrupted again as he watched Kunsel come in and leave a few moments later.

"Zack…"Sephiroth addressed Angeal's student. "What was the point of this?"

"Shh, it's not over yet!" Zack ordered as he continued to watch the screen.

Sephiroth turned around when he heard Zack's snore from his position under the couch. His interest in the display in front of him raised a little as a figured jumped down in front of the camera. His eyes narrowed as the figure walked to the couch and reviled itself to be the mysterious new Turk. Sephiroth observed the Turk as he nudged Zack, and then the snoring stopped.

"Huh…" Zack commented as they watched the Turk walk back to the camera and jump up. "He was in the air ducts again?"

"You know him." Sephiroth said turning to face Zack.

"Kind of, I have seen him around at least." Zack answered as he watched Soldiers dash from room to room looking for someone. "Who are they looking for?"

"You," Sephiroth stated, lost in thought about how to catch a rat in the air ducts. "Stay out of the training rooms."

"Um…I couldn't go in them if I wanted to. I don't have my—" Zack shut his mouth to catch the flying object heading towards him. He turned it over to reveal his long lost…well taken away, ID card. "Yes sir! Hey, where are you going?"

"I am going to talk to Director Veld." With that Sephiroth exited the debriefing room.

I will still like to know what you guys think! :) Just take a moment and let me know please! *puppy eyes*
