I do not own Final Fantasy VII, I just enjoy writing about the characters.
Zack was extremely hungry. He and Angeal had been in the VR room all morning. Originally, Angeal had been planning on catching up on his paperwork since he had just returned from a mission, but his puppy had ruined that plan. Even though his mentor had only been gone for two days, Zack was acting as though it had been years. He had been the terror of Shin-Ra the entire time. Everyone had learned that a bored Zack Fair and Reno were to be avoided at all costs.
Angeal had returned and immediately been assailed by the vast majority of the company. The complaints had come from all departments. Genesis had been prepared to set Zack and Reno on fire for stealing one of his copies of LOVELESS, never mind that it had been in perfect condition when returned by a blushing cadet. (The cadet was a fan of the poem and had wanted to reread it only to discover that Genesis was constantly looking at something much steamier than an old poem.)
Sephiroth had been extremely confused by the presence of a bound and gagged cadet in his office. He had untied the poor boy who had stammered his thanks with a tomato red face before scampering away. Sephiroth had heard him muttering something about Zack and a trick before he was out of earshot.
Reno had been discovered passed out drunk in a cleaning closet on the SOLDIER floor. No one knew how Zack had avoided that fate without a hangover. They all assumed Reno was the mastermind of the pranks, but apparently not. Tseng had not been impressed with the younger Turk.
All of this had led to an intense training session to wear the puppy out. It wasn't exactly working, but Zack was ready for lunch now. It felt like his stomach was about to eat itself.
"Can we please be done, Angeal? I'm soo hungry!" whined Zack.
Angeal just looked at him, not quite frowning. "Have you learned your lesson about behaving while I am gone?"
"Yes, yes! Now please, can we eat!"
"Alright, but after we do you have to apologize to everyone you bothered over the last two days."
"Do I have to?" whimpered the puppy.
"Yes, Zack," said Angeal with a frown. "Heroes always correct their mistakes."
He perked up at the mention of his goal. "OK, I will. I am going to be the best hero in Shin-Ra!" Zack bolted off to the cafeteria to scarf down his meal.
Angeal simply shook his head fondly. If anyone could be a hero, it would be Zack Fair.
I was hungry and bored while I wrote this, so voila! This was obviously a quick update, but the next ones probably won't be. This will be updated as I write the stories, mostly when I am bored in class. I am also slowly working on Our Love and that will hopefully be updated within the next two weeks. ~Amaya
