Lightning Flash

Now look at the bright side General... at least I am learning a lot about my new boss. That also means I know what to get Angeal and Genesis for their next birthday. And no, its not another copy of Loveless for Genesis nor new pots and pans for Angeal if that's what you're wondering.


*goes off to find a new collar, leash, and duct tape.*

....Oh, Gaia. Somebody kill me now, please. <headdesk.>

*Sidles up to Tseng, twirling the leash.* You really have the most wonderful timing. I miss all the fun. *Pout* However, I like this talk about birthday presents.

*Comes back with a set of dog ears, a black leash, red collar and blue duct tape*

I'm afraid that I cannot let anyone grant you that wish General, you are still needed.

Since it is a little late here's your present. Now if only the General would cooperate with me...

Genesis do you think the dog ears headpiece is a little over the top? I hope that you like the black leash. I personally think that it will suit the puppy quite nicely.

*Considers* They may be. However, they are very fitting.

W-what??? It's not even anyone's birthday yet! You come anywhere near me with those, and I swear I'll Bolt3 the lot of you!

Angeeeeeal!

*chuckles, ruffling the dark spikes affectionately* If nothing else, your fanclub may gain more members if you get seen in the ears... they're cute, in a mildly disconcerting way. Good for PR.

General will you do me a favor? *smirks*

<gapes at Angeal.> Angeal! How could you?? You're siding with them?

<crosses arms and pouts.> What if I just fire everybody?

<debates over the PR value.> I dunno, I don't think anyone will take me seriously if I wear those. I'm General, I'm supposed to be taken seriously!

...Not that anybody does, anyway... <mutters.>

*Snorts* Keep dreaming, pooch.

<glares at Genesis.> You know, I think I'd feel a whole lot better about this whole thing if I just Bolted you. How's that sound to everybody? One fried First for puppy ears? I think it's a fair trade...

I believe that we outnumber you General. You might just accept your fate, regardless if you managed to bolt Gen.

I, as a good employee, am doing this for your own good.

*mutters* that and have possible blackmail material.

Maybe so, but at least I can take Gen down with me! Zack Fair does not just roll over and play dead!

... <cringes.> Maybe that was a bad metaphor given the situation...

*sigh* You're just digging your own grave, sir... *shakes head* However, good luck with that, let me just get me some more of Angeal's apple dumplings before the show starts. d-.-

*shakes head* really zackary you are only making this worse on yourself, bolting genesis will only anger him and make the revenge that much worse. As to lighting us on fire. *makes sure he has on his kevlar lined jacket* genesis already attempted that and he is far strong at materia than you are puppy.

Just wait until I return from this mission in 3 days.... I have plenty more materia to bounce off your head

If you fire all of us then who will help you with the stacks of paperwork that General Sephiroth left for you? So be a man and put on the dog ears sir. I am sure that no one will think of you any different than they already do.

... If I ... if I do ... not saying that I will, mind you ... but if I do ... would you guys finally cut me some slack? Or at least get Tseng to lay off on the materia bouncing? It drives me nuts!

I can promise that any blackmail material that I get out of this will stay hidden, does that help? About Tseng... he's your problem.

only reason i pick on you puppy is because you are so fun

<pouts.> But the materia bouncing drives me crazy! This hair isn't as much padding as you think it is.

I figured your head was hard enough that it wouldn't matter how much padding the hair provided

<glowers.> ....You know what? Fine. I'll wear the stupid dog ears. But just this once.

<swipes the ears and jams them on his head.> There. Happy??

*Take out a camera* Say Whiskey General!

Does anyone want a copy?
