" What's wrong now?" Cloud asked slightly annoyed.
" No way in hell am I going out there." Storm replied.
" Why?" Cloud asked as he looked out the window and saw Val standing with three chocobos and she had a satisfied expression.
" Your afraid of chocobos?" Cloud asked in disbelief as he looked back at Storm. Chocobos were one of their main forms of transportation.
" Shut up. I have a phobia of giant flightless birds. Okay?" she replied turning red.
" Phobia huh?" Cloud asked as he open the door and a chocobo warked and ran over to Cloud, it was his chocobo. It walked right past Cloud into 7th Heaven . It looked around curiously. When it looked at Storm she took a step back, which excited the easily excited chocobo. It leapt at her. Storm screamed like a girl which wasn't like her as she ran behind the bar the chocobo close behind.
" Cloud get your over sized chicken." she yelled as she leapt over the bar and ran for the door. When she reached the a door another chocobo stepped in front of it. She quickly changed direction and in a few seconds she was cornered in 7th Heaven by three chocobos.
" Get them away from me!" Storm screamed. Cloud was in too much shock to help though. Storm was crying she was so afraid of the birds. Val walked in happily.
" That's what you get for chasing me with a cat. Cat's they are scary but chocobos aren't at all your just a wimp." Val retorted as she completely ignored Strom.
" Cats are cute and cuddly. Chocobos are freaks of nature. Birds are supposed to fly not be so big they can crack your skull with their beaks." Storm stuttered in her defense.
" Peanut attack! Get these things away from me!" Storm yelped. The cat leapt on one chocobos leg. It did no damage with no teeth and no claws. The chocobo kicked its leg and Peanut went flying there w the air and out the open window.
" Peanut!" Storm yelled as she started to run for the window but stopped and back up against the wall again from the chocobos. As if on queue the cat offered a somewhat dumbstruck meow.
" Val your dumb birds hurt my cat! If you don't get rid of these things I'll introduce you to one of my pets you'll really hate." Stormed snapped as a chocobo warked at her she whimpered.
" Doubtful." Val retorted as poured herself s a drink. Storm whistled. Seconds later a giant panther leapt in threw the open window. Rather than chasing chocobos it leapt for Storm.
" It's gonna eat her! I can't watch." Val yelled hiding her eyes.
" Yeah, it looks like eating her." Cloud replied as Val looked up. The cat was licking her face frantically and rubbing her face affectionately.
" Some attack cat you are." Storm replied pushing the giant cat off her. The chocobos had ran at the sight of the cat. When Storm stood she pointed to Val.
" Attack, Panzer." she replied. The cat was at that particular moment starring off into space lazily leaning from side to side. Storm glared.
" Your as spastic as I am. Now attack!" she replied waving her hand. The cat unsure of who to attack leapt at Val who yelped and leapt behind the bar. The cat landed on the bar changed corse when it leapt and leapt at Vincent, had he move any slower he would have been pinned to the floor by the big cat. But, he back into another wall, and the cat rose up on its hind legs using its powerful paws to pin him to the wall. As the cat did it let out a blood curdling snarl as it growled at Vincent who made no move, though he was obviously petrified. But he hid it well, by keeping his gaze calm and level with the cat.
" Ooops." Storm replied.
" Ya think!" Val yelled.
" Panzer down." Storm commanded and the cat stopped pinning him but sat at his feet growling.
" Panzer come. Panzer heel. Panzer calm." Storm commanded clearly for the large cat it obey going to her and sitting at her side and it vehemence for Vincent vanished as he began panting lazily.
" Whose a good kitty." Storm cooed and the cat stood on it hind legs and swiped it's paws threw the air roaring, the it went back to it's sitting position.
" How come you never said you were an animal trainer?" Cloud asked. Storm grinned.
" I'm not an animal trainer. Panzer's wild he just chooses to listen to me, if he decided to stop listening I couldn't stop him. He's several hundred pounds of pure predatory muscle. I might weigh a hundred fifty soaking wet with lead shoes." Storm replied.
" That makes me feel so much better." Vincent replied a little bit shakily.
" Oh, don't worry he won't attack you Coffin Boy lest I tell him to. Panzer's a good kitty." she replied. " You act as if he's a house cat." Vincent replied.
" He could be if he wanted to. He's very bright and quite gentle." Storm replied.
" Why do I not believe that." Vincent deadpanned.
" Panzer you upset Vincent. Apologies to him this instant or you will go hungry." Storm replied as the cat slunk across the floor toward Vincent. Giving him a look like please don't' let me starve. The cat started cat like whining. And his stomach let out a loud growl . Vincent found his hand scratching the cat's head. The cat immediately perked up and began rubbing up against him happily.
" I guess you can have supper since Vincent forgave you." Storm replied as the cat purred and leapt out the window and disappeared.
" I think I might kill you." Vincent growled angrily.
" I think I want the cat back." Storm replied.
" Bring the cat back we will all kill you." Cloud snapped as he sneezed again. Storm frowned.
" See I have reasons for liking animals better. They are much nicer than people." Storm snapped as she stormed off.
" She has no reason to be angry." Val retorted.
" I guess I didn't have to say it the way I did though." Cloud confessed.
" She'll be fine. She lives to piss me off anyways." Vincent grumbled.
" That she does. She always knows what to say to get your goat. I wonder if she does it purposely." Cloud mused.
" She does. Reason why, she says Coffin Boy need to cheer up. He's always so damn broody. I'm gonna start pissing him off every time he starts to brood or get depressed. Eventually he won't get broody at all, he'll just get pissed which is a thousand times better than moping. Mopey people depress me to no end. That and make me feel awkward so I'm not gonna let him brood anymore he broods too much as it is." Val replied.
