Found something new to do at work in the mornings when I have that whole hour to myself because my brother insists on dropping me off at 7 when I start at 8

Reno didn't think that being in the Turks was going to be like this. Actually that wasn't quite right. This was exactly what he thought the Turks was going to be like. There was training in pretty much every fighting style that he could think of and so far he had only been assisting in the small missions that he and his partner had been assigned on. What he didn't expect was that this whole time he'd be worrying about a little chocobo that he had left in the cadet barracks a few weeks ago.

"What's up partner?"

Reno looked up from the couch that he was lying on in their spacious apartment. "Hey Rude."

He had surprisingly gotten along with his partner. Rude was quiet for most part but it wasn't that awkward kind of silent. Basically Reno would talk and Rude would listen and pipe in if he thought it was necessary.

"Worried about that bird you left for the wolves? Or should I say rats?"

Reno let out a small snort of laughter. "Yeah. Still feelin kinda bad that I left him on his own still. What's up anyway? We got a new mission or something?"

"Got news for you. Whether it will make you feel better or not will be dependent on how much you like the generals."

Reno raised an eyebrow at this.

"It's about your bird."

This got Reno's full attention and he sat up from where he was lying on the couch.

"Apparently he got adopted by the general's wolf and he's living with Zack now."

"You're joking me." Rude shook his head. "Why didn't he tell me. I've got to go call him." Reno was quick to get off the couch to go search for his PHS but Rude beat him to it and grabbed him by the collar.

"Hey, what's the big deal?"

"We have a mission."

"What? Are you kidding me? Why couldn't you say that before? Can I just call the chickabo first?"

Rude shook his head again as he started dragging Reno towards the door.

"Tseng's waiting for us."

Junon was probably one of the few places Zack hated. Not only could you not see the sky, but it stank and there was nothing fun to do. All there was, was that giant canon that made it look like president Shinra was trying to compensate for something.

"Why are we here again Cissnei? It's so boring."

Said Turk just rolled her eyes as they were making their way towards the grounds where they'd be meeting the new cadets. "Maybe you should learn not to stick your nose into the bosses relationship. Maybe then you wouldn't be put into these kinds of situations."

"Hey! I was trying to be a good friend, and besides, it worked out didn't it? They're back together and aren't all grumpy at each other and everyone's happy."

"I'll give you that… Look on the bright side. It's just a week and after that you can head back to Midgar and go do… Whatever you first class SOLDIER's do on your days off."

"Paper work and training Cloudy."

"That's right. How is your little cadet doing? I heard that he was friends with our own new recruit… Wait a moment… Was he the one that went scampering off when you were asking me about how I got into the Turks the other day?"

Zack just turned his head away at if he wasn't listening.

"Zackery…"

"It might have been a little chocobo?"

"No wonder he got into our ranks so fast. He already had Tseng's attention in the first place, but Tseng was waiting for him to do something to prove himself."

"It was just a little push. He was going to get into the Turks away, right?"

"That wasn't the point Zack… Anyway, what's done is done."

"How is the weasel doing? He working his way up?"

"He's doing well in his training according to Rude. They're getting along well. He hasn't failed in a mission yet."

Zack let off a low whistle. "He's paired up with Rude? Isn't he the one that doesn't talk much and always has his sunglasses on." Cissnei rolled her eyes at that.

"Just because he doesn't talk much around you doesn't mean that he's hard to get along with. He and Reno seem to be getting along fine."

"Right…" Zack obviously didn't believe her.

"So how's your cadet?" Cissnei almost immediately regretted her question as soon as she saw Zack's eyes light up.

"He's awesome. Still a bit crap at the sword work and the hand to hand, but he's a fast learner. He's amazing at materia work… Bit of a neat freak though and…" She got the feeling that this was going to turn into a long day.

By the way. This chapter is not my fault. My beta made me do it.
