Final Fantasy VII 100 Word Challenge

Okay, yet again, I'm going to fail my attempt at getting a thousand points for SOLDIER. Work and moving conspire against me. Still, I figure I got at least eighty drabbles out, which is ten better than last time.

Another twenty drabbles all together here.

“Put it on speakerphone this time!” Rei complied.

“Hello?”

“General? About those budget approvals you've been waiting for... Wait, who is this?” The boys shared a look. They knew the voice.

“Hi, Uncle Tuesti!” the said together.

Reeve sighed. “Boys, put your father on the line.”

“Sorry, Uncle Tuesti,” Rei said. “He's not in right now.”

“Yeah, he said we could stay and take his messages for him.”

Reeve grunted. “So where did he go?”

“He took a mental health day.” Rei answered.

“... Didn't he just take one last week?”

“Yeah,” Ari said slowly, “he takes a lot of those.”

Author's Notes: prompt - character's children

She was sweet natured and loved the flowers. They grew well for her, just like they had for her mother. They said her mother was the last, of course they were wrong. The planet would never allow itself to be without an Ancient, as it would always have its Weapons and Lifestream.

Tifa looked out the cottage's window, a smile on her face as a girl ran by with a watering can, Marlene and Densel followed quickly after her. It was good to hear laughter surrounding the house once more.

"Marlene! Denzel! Aeris! Lunch time." She called through the window.

Title: Lullaby
Pairings/Characters: Lucretia, Sephiroth
Team: SOLDIER
Word Count: 100
Author’s Note: Song is All Through the Night by...someone. The lyrics are from my memory.

“Sleep my child, and peace attend thee, all through the night... Guardian angels God will send thee, all through the night...” Lucretia’s mother sang this song to her when she was just a little child, rocking her to sleep when the nightmares got too bad. When she found out that she was pregnant too, she’d looked forward to singing him the same song.

It had taken longer than she thought it should, but here in the Lifestream she could sit with her son’s head on her lap, stroking silver hair, and sing him her mother’s lullaby.

Sometimes he would get hungry for Fenrir, parked up in the garage, turning into an antique. Maybe Fenrir could take the turns and inclines better, but the car was safer, fuel-efficient, with more room in the back.

They tumbled out quietly (for once). He hadn't told them much, but they knew this was important. Or rather, the first knew. The rest followed his lead. They followed their father out to the bluff like a row of spiky-headed ducklings and stood in line when he stopped.

“That's it,” he said, feeling the peace of connection, “That's Uncle Zack's sword.”

“Put him down!” Sephiroth's growl promised murder. The creature rolled one lazy eye, tightening the coil around the boy's neck. Sephiroth raised his sword an inch. “Put my son down and perhaps I'll end it quickly for you.”

The thing's eyes went from the General to the boy dangling in its grasp, scanning over the white-knuckled grip on the tentacle, the gritted teeth as the boy drew careful measured breaths, the bright, blond hair... “He's no son of yours,” the thing rasped, quaking in amusement.

“I adopted him,” Sephiroth said firmly. “That makes him mine, so put him down!”

Team: Avalanche
Word count: 100

When Nanaki turns 300, his friends in AVALANCHE are long-gone, their descendants impossible to track. But when his human friends bring him a cake made of beef and his children gather around him, he smiles.

"Grandpa's going to cry," one of his grandchildren laughs, and Nanaki recalls a time he thought he would die the last of his kind, a time he and Tanja believed they would never have children who lived. None of those around him know the grief of those years. It's a blessing.

"I believe I will." His children laugh out, chasing the rest of his sadness away.

Title: The Eyes Have It

Word count: 100
Team: AVALANCHE


Yuffie knew what she had to do, and was grown up enough to do it. Of the 5 Pagoda masters, only Shake was young enough to make the match worthwhile. She smiled at her father, and watched her friends gather for the ceremony.

The night before she was married and lost forever, she found him and bedded him, one last time. In the morning, she said her vows with a clear voice and calm eyes.

She soon gave birth to twin sons. She told herself the red glint in one of their eyes was just a trick of the light.

They were laughing. They were his friends and he loved them but dammit, they were laughing. Sometimes they 'forgot' about his hearing but there was nothing to be done. He carried on, business as usual, straining boiled carrots, 'eat your vegetables', 'stop kicking your brother'...

“Look at him, natural Mr. Mom.”

“Heh, just knew all he needed was a good push to get started.”

Cloud rolled his eyes and fed the youngest more carrots. So what if they were having kids as fast as Tifa could pop them out? It's not like four (and counting) was that big a number.

The boy looked like he had at that age, lanky, traces of baby fat. Pretty. He'd be a handsome devil once he'd filled out. A sure charmer, if he could outgrow that tendency to be cynical.

“This is the last straw! First doing his math homework in binary, then calling the history books 'propaganda' and now this!” The teacher certainly was shrill when distraught.

“And?”

“You can't seriously be okay with your son saying his future dream is to be a gigolo!”

Sephiroth stared at the essay he had been handed and shrugged. “Beats setting towns on fire.”

Title: Another Chance

Cloud wasn’t sure how he’d ended up with three silver-haired toddlers, but he had the sneaking suspicion that it had something to do with a pair of spirits who enjoyed messing with his head.

Or maybe it was because they wanted to give, not only him, but the three fragments of Sephiroth’s soul a chance at happiness. Even Tifa couldn’t be angry when the three of them looked at her with those eyes.

But it made everything worth it when they called him “Nii-san” and came to him, laughing with joy they’d never felt before.

Word Count: 100

When Cloud and Tifa’s son was born with silver hair, there was a moment of panic until Vincent mentioned that Cloud had been a Sephiroth clone, failed or not. Tifa didn’t calm down until she realized that the baby-blue eyes were darkening to the same shade as her own.

Their daughter had Tifa’s dark hair and Cloud’s eyes, and it tended to spike much like a chocobo’s. She quickly attached herself to her brother, and he always smiled around her. Cloud thought it only fitting, and sat back and watched them play, finally laughing together.

‘Tell my again,’ his Goddess asked him, ‘why did you choose that name?’

‘Don’t you like it, my lady?’ Genesis replied. He had been holding the boy in his arms, child’s bright, blue eyes fixed on Her beautiful face.

‘I am just… surprised,’ she said. Lifestream started appearing around her, embracing her hovering figure. She slowly began to vanish, melt away into ribbons of green light.

‘Genesis?’ he heard Her speaking, Her voice quiet, words meant for him alone.

‘Yes, my lady?’ he bowed his head a bit, waiting for the question She would surely ask.

‘Why Sephiroth?’

Title: Chip off the old block

Author's Notes: A long time ago I drew the kid as well, as a result of some impromptu au role play, pic below under the cut!

'You have some explaining to do, Reno.' Rufus Shinra folded his arms, perching against the desk, smiling reassuringly at the small boy although the smile did not reach his eyes.

Reno gaped, stammered, cursed. 'But...now look...I...but it was...she...fuck...'

'Obviously. And now what do you propose to do with him. he can't stay here.'

The small, wiry boy glared at his errant father. 'Don't wanna go with him, that's fer sure, fuckin' bastard,' he growled, fists clenched at his sides, feet braced for fight or flght.

Reno's face broke into a broad grin. 'Hey...he's mine alright, say hi to Dad!'

Title: Fly High Above the Winds
Team: AVALANCHE
Pairing: Cid/Shera
Word count: 100

Engineers were good to have around, Cid admitted, but when neither of his sons took more than a general interest in flying, he began to despair for the future of the world. He smiled at their accomplishments and put his dreams of teaching the art of flying aside for 10 years.

But now he held a tiny life that was as colicky as any baby ever born. The only time she was quiet was when he showed her the stars. Then she giggled and reached up.

He smiled and whispered, “I’ll show you how to fly up and touch them.”

Title: Only One Name
Pairing: Cloud/Tifa
Team: AVALANCHE
Word Count: 100

Cloud had gone through the normal gamut of emotions when Tifa had shown him the home pregnancy kit: joy, pride, panic, and more than a little terror. He had no real memories of his own father, and had few real role models to look up to.

In the end, with few mishaps, morning sickness was handled; his ever-shrinking “half” of the bed was easily dealt with; midnight cravings were no problem. But nothing could prepare him when the doctor put his cooing newborn dark-haired son in his arms.

“What’s his name?”

There was only one name he could think of.

2 a.m. is the perfect time for terrorist meetings or underhanded dealings.  The Turks and Avalache tied last week at 40 points each!  SOLDIER stands watch for 20 points, but General Sephiroth really needs his beauty sleep.

This week's prompt is #33 - Character's Children

Flash forward into the future and give us a glimpse of the children spawned by our favorite characters.

Does Genesis have a son that won't eat his applesauce?  Does Cloud's children run all over him?  Is Cid's boy the spitting (literally) image of his father?  We all know about Sephiroth's remnants, do they make Jenova proud? Has Hojo's daughter won first place in the science fair? And speaking of Fair, where is daddy's little girl?

Ah yes, show us the joys of having children (along with the tantrums, the messes, the diapers...) in just 100 words.
