(A/N) I'm going to post these as quick as I can because I want to get this drabble series over and done with by the time Christmas rolls around. Well, it's short but I like it and I thought the concept was really cute and funny at the same time. I've got more cute and funny things in store. I'll try to update twice a week so keep looking for new updates :D

Zack the Puppy – 2) Interrupted.

Cloud and Tifa soon realized that Zack had a lot of energy. He just kept running around and barking at everything that he saw. But it wasn't really a bark; it was more like a yip. Almost every single minute of the day, they would hear Zack yipping at absolutely nothing.

Sometimes after the bar was closed, Tifa let him explore it. He would run across the wet floor and then he would slide on his stomach. Then he would crash into either a chair or a wall and then would yip happily then repeat the process. Tifa was thankful that he didn't destroy anything yet. And she didn't stop him from his little game either because she just wanted him to get it out of his system.

The bar was becoming busier every day. And having the dog that Tifa had to check up on every half hour didn't help. But she felt it was worth it because she's always wanted a dog when she was a kid but her papa was allergic. And after she moved to Midgar she knew it wasn't the right time to have such a responsibility.

But now that they had Zack they needed to pay for shots and all the necessities. And since Christmas was coming up the new expenses were taking away from their present money. But the way the children were around him was enough to keep Tifa satisfied.

The children, of course, loved him. When Cloud first brought the puppy to the sleeping kids up the stairs Marlene screamed so loudly that Cloud had to cover his ears. Denzel didn't scream like his adopted sister, but he rushed over to Zack and called to hold him first. Cloud and Tifa both knew that he wouldn't be a problem with kids because of the way his tail was wagging and the way his tongue would run over Denzel's face.

Their little happy meeting was interrupted by a loud knock on the bar door. Cloud and Tifa looked at each other questioningly before telling the kids to stay in their room with the puppy and walked down the stairs. When they opened the door, they saw that it was the police. They got a concerned call from a neighbor saying they heard screaming coming from the bar. Apparently the neighbors were very skeptical of Cloud's large swords and thought that he finally went insane and butchered his adorable family. Hence the screaming.

Cloud and Tifa explained that nobody was butchered and they got a dog that made the kids scream in excitement. The policemen looked doubtful and were about to ask to confirm their statement with evidence when the kids came down the stairs. Marlene was holding Zack in her arms and Denzel was walking in front of her. The policemen noticed this too and gave them an apology about bothering them and walking back to their car. Cloud was still a little embarrassed about what happened that night. But Tifa, on the other hand, had to cover her mouth to stop her giggles when thinking that Cloud would go insane and chop them up into little pieces. Zack just watched the whole display, panting happily.

And when Cloud got home from his deliveries Zack would follow him nonstop. In the middle of the night when Cloud would get a snack he would get scared shitless when Zack would somehow fly into the center of his back. Tifa would sometimes watch this and would start die laughing when she saw the dog fly out of nowhere and hit Cloud with killer aim, usually that causes Cloud to jump and spit out a very naughty swear word. This happened every time and Cloud still has yet to learn.

During the workday when customers were at the bar Zack would stay confined upstairs so he wouldn't disrupt the customers. But sometimes people would hear something scuffing across the floor upstairs and then something crash. They would then faintly hear some yipping and then more scuffing. Tifa would then excuse herself then run up the stairs to see that Zack knocked over a picture when he crashed into the wall. And he was nowhere in sight.

So now Cloud and Tifa were getting ready to go to bed after a very long day of Zack destroying everything he touched. Thankfully Tifa and Cloud were smart enough to leave their bedroom door closed so everything was intact. Cloud was in their bathroom that was connected to the room, taking a shower while Tifa was rubbing lotion on her pale legs. She was wearing a pair of shorts with a back tank top and her hair falling loosely over her shoulders.

When Cloud came out he was only wearing a pair of blue plaid trousers and rubbing a yellow towel through his golden spikes. When he saw Tifa smile seductively at him he gave her a seductive smirk of his own and dropped the towel. He walked towards the bed and leaned over Tifa. She leaned back so her back touched the bed and he crawled over her. His hands were on the bed on either sides of Tifa's body and he hovered over her. It was a long day and it's been a while since they've been alone. Usually when they were alone they would be too tired to talk, let alone sexual activities.

Cloud leaned down to kiss her slowly and she buried her fingers in his damp spikes, trying to bring him closer. Tifa lifted her foot up and ran it along his calf causing Cloud to shift slightly and drag his hand up her thigh and start to go under her shirt when…

Scratch. Scratch. Scratch. Followed by a high pitch yipping noise.

Cloud tore his lips away from hers and buried his face in her neck. "So unfair," he muttered in her neck. Tifa rubbed the back of his neck soothingly.

"Maybe we should open the door. He might be scared." Tifa said as she started to disengage herself from him. Then they heard happy yipping and Cloud raised an eyebrow. "We should let him in anyway."

Cloud sighed and stood up, dejected. He opened the door and Zack came bouncing in and jumped on their bed. He sat on Tifa's lap and she started to brush his one bang back, but it sprung back in place, like a pig's tail. Zack looked up at Cloud with a rather smug look and Cloud tried to bite back a growl. Zack's tail was wagging a mile a minute and he got in a more comfy position on Tifa's lap. He yawned loudly and brought his head down to rest on her legs.

"That damn dog," Cloud muttered and sat back on the bed.

"Cloud, he's just a puppy, they need attention." Tifa said as she scrubbed underneath his ear which Zack answered with a happy kick.

"What about me? I need attention too." Clout pouted.

"Aww poor baby Cloud." Tifa teased and he smiled and leaned over to kiss her. But he was interrupted yet again by Zack giving off a little whimper. Tifa just laughed and covered Zack's eyes so Cloud could give her a kiss goodnight.

So what do you think? I thought it was rather adorable. If you could review that would be awesome.
