Naoto-Hika: Hello Everyone! :)

This is a Disclaimer that Hope wants to tell everyone, right?

Hope:...Um sure. *clears throat* This is a disclaimer. This person here, *points to Naoto-Hika* does not own Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and the Characters.

The young prince was at a ball. God knew just how much he hated it. He managed to get away from everyone. He headed outside to the gazebos. He looked up at the sky as he put his arm on the wood. His lips were parted from each other as if he was trying to say something but nothing seemed to come out. He sighed and looked down at the ground. His mind filled with thoughts of her and him.

"Why did I have to get stuck here? I'm suppose to be with her, not him. It's our one year anniversary together. I was suppose to ask her today," those thoughts of his was soon interrupted by a voice he knew way to well.

"Noctis, buddy," the voice said. Noctis looked back at his three friends. He smiled slightly and nodded.

"Hey guys," he said. Laris waved trying to stay quite. Marcus looked over at the blond hair friend with a smirk. Noctis blinked and looked over at Marcus, the man with a scar, and Quinn, the man with glasses, confused.

"We made a bet that Laris can't stay quite for the rest of the night," Quinn said as he fixed his glasses. Laris opened his mouth to protest but with a glare from Marcus, he stayed quite. Noctis chuckled as he watched his blond hair friend.

"So you two finally found a way to shut him up, impressive," he said while receiving a glare from Laris. The other two men nodded proudly.

"So, why are you out here?" Marcus asked. "Shouldn't you be out with your girlfriend?" Noctis sighed as he looked back at the door to the ballroom.

"Don't worry about them; we can handle it, right Laris?" Quinn smirked while turning to his friend. Laris once again opened his mouth but shut it quickly while glaring at Quinn in disgust. The three men laughed at this.

Noctis smiled as he soon realize that the three of them were now looking at him again. He shook his head. He couldn't leave his guest to his friends. That wouldn't be right, would it?

"Will you get going already!? Jeez, We said we'll take care of it, didn't we!?" Laris voice became loud and annoyed. He received surprise looks from his friends. Marcus sighed as he smiled and looked at Noctis.

"He's right you know," Marcus said and Quinn nodded in agreement. Noctis looked at them and nodded. Quinn threw his keys towards the prince. He caught them and headed towards the exit. He stopped and looked back at his friends.

"Thanks guys," he said and walked towards the car.

Laris was receiving glances from Quinn and Marcus now. He looked away annoyed and then back at them.

"What?" he said, breaking the silence in the gazebos. Marcus grinned and placed his arms around Laris' neck. Laris tried to remove his arm but failed horribly.

"Get off of me!" he said quit loudly.

"Not a chance. Now you have to pay up!"

"What? Are you kidding me? I was helping you guys out with the prince. Something with what you two couldn't make him do," Laris said as he felt someone hands go in his pocket to grab his wallet.

"Quinn!!! Give me back my wallet!" Laris said while trying to look over at him. Quinn ignored him and went through the wallet.

"Hm, he only has 15,000 yen…," he said. Marcus blinked and let go of Laris. Laris took this chance to steal his wallet back.

"Give it!" he said while reaching for it. He took the wallet as Quinn finished pulling out the money.

"I guess 7,500 yen each," Marcus said. Quinn nodded and gave him his half.

"Guess I have to cancel my date tomorrow if I don't find some money soon," he thought to himself. "Man, I was suppose to win money, not lose it…" He sighed as he looked at his empty wallet. "Next time I won't help them…"

Noctis soon reached Lightning's house. He looked at her house to see if any lights were on. He saw a light flicker from the TV. He got out the car and headed towards the door. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Was he nervous? Why? They have been dating for a year now.

He knocked on the door and then he placed his hands in his pockets. He looked around at the neighborhood as he soon heard the door open. He looked back at the doorway and smiled. There she was, the girl with strawberry pink hair and sky blue eyes. A sliver hair teenage boy appeared from behind her.

Noctis frowned as he saw the boy. It was true; he was spending the day with her since he couldn't. He didn't understand it. Why was he upset with her for spending time with a friend? Lightning noticed the frown on his face and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Noctis is something wrong?" she asked. He blinked as he looked at her. He shook his head as he forced a smile. She returned the smile back. She didn't bother to push the question any further.

"Hey Light, it's getting late. I should probably be heading back home. I don't want my dad to worry about me," Hope said as he looked up at her with a smile. Lightning looked at him and nodded.

"Alright, I'll see you around Hope," she said with a smile. Hope nodded and left the couple alone. Noctis watched Hope leave until an annoyed voice caught his attention.

"Noctis!" the girl said. Noctis looked at her with a questioning look. "Are you coming in or are you going to stay out there all night?"

"Uh right," he said as he walked inside the house. He looked around the house. It was empty, just like last time he was there. Serah had moved out the house once she was married to Snow. That left Lightning alone. He looked back at her as she closed the door. He smiled as she took his hand and led him to the black couch. They sat down and looked at each other.

"Happy anniversary, Hun," Noctis said as he was kissed by the pink hair girl. She pulled away and smiled. He smiled as he blush a light pink.

"Happy anniversary Noctis."

He nodded and kissed her passionately while pulling her closer.

Hope was heading home as he bumped into an older woman. He blinked as he looked up at her. The older women looked down at him and blinked as she noticed him.

"Hope!" the older women said.

"Fang!" he said at the same time she said his name. They both smiled. Hope's smiled fade just as fast as it appeared. Fang noticed this and blinked.

"Something the matter?" she asked. Hope shook his head.

"I-it's noting," he said. Fang shook her head, as she now knew something was wrong.

"Is it Lightning again?" she asked as she earned a surprise looked from Hope. How did she know it was about Lightning? He never told anyone except Vanille.

"How did you know?" he asked. Fang grinned.

"I take that as a yes," she said. "Vanille told me. Though I have to say, isn't she too old for you?" Hope looked away as the question came out.

"Age is only a number…I can do a better job then that prince anytime."

"Oh, is someone jealous?" Fang teased. Hope glared at her.

"I'm not jealous!!" he shouted at her. He sighed as he looked down at the ground. Who was he trying to kid? He knew he was jealous of Noctis. He had the girl he wanted, the only girl he ever wanted. "What am I suppose to do? I hate feeling like this…I want to tell her but…"

"Then tell her. You shouldn't have waited this long. The next time you might see her, she might be engage to him," Fang spoke as she smiled slightly. He raised his head a little as the image of Lightning getting married to Noctis played in his head.

"You're right, I'll tell her tomorrow," he said as he forced a smiled and glanced up at Fang.

"Thank you Fang…"
