"Cloud's starting to freak me out a bit."

Ace wasn't kidding. Apparently, Cloud had printed several pictures of Sephiroth's face, put them on training dummies, and then scattered them across the training room floor.

Then he proceeded to scatter the parts of the dummies across the training room floor.

"Look." Guts said on the other line, "I'll be there in a few minutes, just let me- AUGH!"

"Seriously Guts. I can come by and incinerate anyone you're having trouble with-"

"Like. Hell. I'm asking for help from you." Guts snarled over the commlines.

"You'd let Yang help you." Ace grumbled.

"That's because we're both brute force using kids of bandit lords who lost their arm protecting their loved ones."

After a full minute of both ends being silent, Ace finally asked, "Why didn't Yang fight you?"

"Hell if I know." Guts replied, "I finished up my patrol. I'm heading back."


"So, what are you doing for the wintertime holidays?"

"I'm probably going to do what I usually do." Flash replied, "Visit some orphanages. Get them a nice gift for the holidays, and spend time with the family. What about you?"

Sonic shrugged, "Spend time with the little forest animals in a-"

*CRASH!*

"Woah, Tracer!" Flash exclaimed as he helped the British Pilot to her feet after "Where's the fire?"

"On Charizard's tail. Now move!"

"What's going on?"

"Commercial break! Snacks! Gotta go!" She blinked away towards the kitchen.

"That was weird."

"Yep."

"Are they watching a Christmas special?"

"Tracer! Hurry up!"

"Coming!" Tracer yelled as she rushed back, with quite the large amount of snacks and other junk food in her arms.

"What do you think they're watching?"

"Wanna check it out?"


"They're still using that car?" Natsu asked, popping the jiffy pop on his hand.

"Yep!" Red replied, "It's kinda hilarious when you think about it. It's been what?- a few years after the finale?"

"Oh yeah. Emily talked about how she and her grandmum would watch this show when she was younger. It's bloody hilarious!"

"You're watching the Psych movie?" Flash questioned, "I never liked that show. It's just a ripoff of Monk in my opinion."

"Well, that's your opinion." Sonic shrugged as he sat down and grabbed a chili dog, "Hey Ace! Can I get a quick re-heat?"

*FWOOM!*

Ace's fireball managed to evenly and quite nicely gave Sonic's dog a nice heating.

"Thanks!"

"Well, most cop shows get ruined when you're a forensic scientist." Flash shrugged, and it's also annoying when you think so fast that you can deduce who it is in under a minute.


X: Sorry for the short chapter. Finals Week.

Wade: That was a good movie though.

X: Oh yeah, definitely.

Pinkie: Nobody's going to force you to do this sort of stuff though.
