I know I said I wouldn't post anything up until after I finshed my other stories, but I couldnt resist! -_-
So I wrote this randomly, for Mother's Day (psst..it's tomorrow!) because I love my Mom and I dedicate this to her and my Aunt Julie who past away, but my cousin Terry would never be awesome without her. :)
Without further ado...
Lightning Farron shifted uncomfortably in the small school desk. She'd never liked sitting in then when she was a student, and it seemed they had gotten even smaller than she remembered. Lightning stared blankly at the woman before her. She was a brunette with a kind face, but it was distorted into concern. Light zoned back in and concentrated on what she was saying.
"Mrs. Farron-"
"Miss."
"Right, Miss Farron, I'm concerned about Skylee and Kristie. They are very bright, it's just...their choice of activities is...a little unusual."
"How so?"
"Well, just yesterday, when at recess, they were playing a game of "Search and Destroy". And in fact all this week, they have 'assassinated' half of the other kids. It frightened some of the other students."
"Ms. Gainesborough, I will talk to them, but it is just fun for them. Don't worry, they are only 7, it is just a phase." She reassured the brunette. She amused herself at her own next question. "Just out of curiosity, how many kids did they 'assassinate'?"
"Well, from what I know...about 45." A wave of pride flushed over her, for a brief moment. Then she glanced at the clock on the wall. She had to be somewhere, as much as she wanted to hear about her kids' teacher's list of complaints, duty called.
"Miss Farron, last week the students were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up and your daughters' answers were also odd. Most of the kids wanted to be doctors or firefighters, Skylee wanted to be 'someone of higher power to insure the national security'. Kristie wanted to 'eliminate enemy hostiles'."
Claire tried not to show an amused smirk, as she wiggled out of the small school desk across from Ms. Gainesborough. "I will be sure to talk to them, it was a pleasure. I really have to go now. Call me if they give any more trouble." Light secretly wished that she didn't have to come in for yet another parent-teacher conference. It was the fifth one this year. Was it really a bad thing if her girls' imaginations ran a little too wild? She made it briskly into the hallway. Claire turned to see her two daughters sitting patiently on the chairs outside the door. Well, Skylee was sitting patiently; Kristie was fidgeting with the laces on her shoes. Skylee's light pink hair was tied tight in a ponytail, two strands of hair cascading down both sides of her face. Her dark, blue eyes were scanning the various posters plastered on the walls. Kristie's hair was styled much like her mother's but it was long on both sides and it was a dark, midnight bluish-black color. It clashed with her bright, blue eyes. She was fixated on tying and untying her shoe.
"C'mon, Skylee, Kristie, we should go before She calls me back in for another one of her lectures." Light stated jokingly. They both jumped out of the chairs and followed next to Lightning's wide strides. "So, Ms. Gainesborough told me you've decided to assassinate 45 kids in the school."
"No! We didn't!" Skylee defended, and then added. "It was 48." Kristie high-fived her sister, quietly.
"You know, I told you, you can only assassinate Uncle Snow. But-"
"But, school is so boring and-"
"But!" She paused. "Really? 48? That's pretty good." They reached the front doors of the building and exited. They walked to Light's car and they began driving to 'Aunt' Tifa's house. She would've let Serah and Snow watch them but she was at work and Snow...well, Snow was Snow. Plus, everyone else was working.
"Are we there yet?" Kristie started repeated as soon as they got in. Skylee stared aimlessly out the car window.
"No, because I haven't even started the car. Unless one of you can teleport, it is going to take the same amount of time as always." This silenced Kristie up for now. Light glanced in the rear view mirror at her two 7-year olds. They couldn't be more different but in a way completed each other.
The drive from their school to Tifa's house consisted of Kristie complaining she was hungry and Skylee being absolutely silent; not one peep, it was almost like she was mute sometimes.
Lightning walked Skylee and Kristie up to Tifa's front door. Tifa answered with a smile.
"Aunt Tifa!" The girls ran and forcefully hugged her.
"Hi! Get inside and see Marlene and Denzel while I talk to your Mommy, okay. Then I will make you some pizza."
"Score!" the girls ran inside. Leaving Tifa and Lightning alone and out of eat shot.
"Thanks, Teef. I would leave them will Snow but..."
"Yeah, I know an it's no big deal! I love them! It's a nice break from The other two kids in the house."
"I always thought you enjoy being around Marlene and Denzel?"
"I do. I was talking about Cloud and Zack." The two women laughed.
"I really have to go. Thanks again." They said their goodbyes, and Light shouted her farewells to both of her daughters before driving back to work.
"Do girls and boy, mind if I change the channel for a little bit?" Tifa asked while the kids were preoccupied with the pizza, she had made for them. She switched the channel to the news, just to see what was going in in the world. A news report flashed on the screen: Crown Prince Arrives in Bodhum.
Tifa felt a wave of slight nostalgia and irony flush. It had been a while since the Prince's last visit. She focused back to see his reason for coming back after so long.
"Prince Noctis arrived this morning in Bodhum. It seems he is here on official royal duty. This would be the 7 year anniversary since his previous visit for the celebration and welcoming of the New Year." The anchor continued. "His reason for coming back isn't quite clear but rumors have been speculated that he is looking for a bride. The Prince would be marrying Princess Stella Nox Fluret, had she not already been to one of his trusted colleagues."
Tifa nearly died of laughter. He was really that desperate, of only he knew, in fact if only anyone knew...
"I tried asking Cloud, this time but he said he already has a girlfriend, sorry Skylee." Marlene apologized. "Though he wouldn't tell me who..I think its Zack." She whispered. They all giggled, knowing Tifa and Zack were already together.
Skylee and Kristie had come up with a plan one day that since Mommy was too busy with work, that they would find her a Daddy. Skylee and Kristie had been working really hard but it seemed like everyone had someone.
The four were sitting, enjoying pizza, trying to brainstorm another guy to ask. Skylee's attention was brought to the television, with the image of a handsome man with very dark blue eyes and dark hair waving to a crowd of people. Underneath it labeled him as much a Skylee could make out: Prince Noctis.
She quickly tapped her sister's arm, whom was devouring her slice. "Kristie! Kristie! Look! I think he would be perfect!"
Tifa overheard the pinkette's excited yell. "Perfect for what?" She came closer.
"To be our Daddy of course, Auntie Tifa!"
"Well, kid, you might be in luck. He is looking for a wife."
"Like a Prince should. This is great, he can whisk Mommy away like Cinderella!" Kristie exclaimed.
"Tifa, can you marry a Prince too?" Marlene joined in. Tifa smiled.
"But I already have Zack. Don't you guys like him?" She teased.
"Yeah, but he is more like the jester!" Denzel joked. Tifa facepalmed, as the four continued to rant about a plan. She was amused at the irony of the situation, and smother at what could happen.
"Hey, Noct, we have to start someday." Prompto urged his dark-haired friend. They were now in Noctis's office, in his Bodhum residency. There was a swarm of Press and desperate women at the front gates. Noctis was happy about his situation. The King had forced him to get married.
Bodhum, of all places, this was where they had stopped first. The last time Noctis and his friends had even been in the city, was 7 years ago. That memory of that visit wasn't the clearest either.
"Why don't you go do your ridiculous interviews, Gladious? Prompto, see if you can tell the guard post to get rid of the mass of people away from the gates." Noctis ordered irritated slightly. He could be with some sleazy girl, in a sleazy place, drinking a nice glass of scotch. But instead he was looking for a wife, on the verge of having an entire country's fate rest upon his shoulders, and straying from all things "sleazy". In other words, he was bored out of his mind but still managed to fake a smile in front of the cameras.
"They aren't ridiculous! I'm just trying to help out; you can thank me when your new wife is perfect for you!" His large, brunette friend said while leaving the room.
Prompto left as well, giving up on the stubborn Prince. Ignis was left with him. "You know, you shouldn't blame your father for this."
"I'm not blaming him for getting sick. I'm just not happy with the fact that I have to get married when I can just be the King by myself." Noctis corrected, slouching in his chair.
"We are in Bodhum, remember how much fun we had last time?" The sarcasm in his voice was almost sickening. The fact that they absolutely did not remember anything except before the alcohol had made the memories fuzzy. The very hazy memory of a girl with very bright hair and an unusual name was the only evidence of a crazy night. Noctis sometimes wondered what exactly went down that night after waking up in someone else's bedroom and not his hotel suite. He often thought of the bright-haired girl he left, though it wasn't like he didn't think of all the past one-night stands he had.
"Kristie, I don't think we should ditch." Skylee and Kristie were again discussing a plan. Kristie had suggested executing it now or never.
"Sky, don't worry! We can do this. I'll do the talking. Just act natural." The two girls were obviously out of place, walking through a crowd to get to the front gates. Kristie and Skylee were a lot shorter than everyone else so to avoid being trampled and separated; they were holding each other's hand. When the large iron front gates were in sight, Kristie rushed towards the guard post. Inside she could see two men, a blonde and a normal looking guard. They were talking about something the girls couldn't hear.
"Excuse me!" Kristie shouted above the loud buzz of the crowd behind them. She was jumping to peer above the windowsill, waving her hands to get attention. "Hello!" Finally getting one of the men's attentions; it was the blonde.
"Can I help you kiddies? You lost?" Prompt lent down to politely ask. Kristie brushed some bangs out of her face and stood straight.
"No, me and my sister want to talk to the Prince!" She informed the blonde, confident it would be THAT easy.
"Well, I'm afraid I can't do that. You see the Prince is a very busy guy, and-"
"Look here mister, we are on a mission! You are making this harder than it needs to be!" Kristie had a very short fuse unlike her patient sister. Skylee placed a hand on her dark-haired sister shoulder.
"Mister, we have to talk to the Prince because of our mommy. If we don't do this, she will never be happy. Do you know what happens in unhappy family homes?" Her eyes were watering. It almost broke Prompto's heart at the sight. "I don't wanna be replaced with a puppy, do you?" she sobbed a bit putting the saddest frown on her small face.
"God you are just precious! I wanna make you two into keychains and buy a key to put them on!" He lost it. "Okay..I will see what I can do. But I don't wanna be replaced by a puppy!" The blonde said something to the guards and they followed him he was ahead,with his back to them.
"Skylee are you okay?" Kristie wondered. Her sister turned to her with a mischievous smirk.
"That guy is putty in our hands. No one can deny the ol' puppy dog eyes." Quietly high-fiving her sister.
"Prompto, I need you to-What's with the small people?" Gladious had stopped in his tracks, looking from Prompto to the two kids.
"I'm taking them to see Noct."
"Why? You're not a tour guide for 1st grade children!" Gladious shook his head.
"We're in 2nd grade to be correct." Kristie interjected.
"C'mon, Gladious, they are determined! We have to do this or I won't be able to sleep at night knowing that these kids are living in an unhappy environment!" Prompto's voice raised an octave. Gladious's shoulders fell in defeat; the interviews were going to have to wait for now. He was just as much of a Teddy bear as Prompto.
Lightning toyed with the pen on her desk. Today she wasn't out patrolling, just paper work. She wasn't doing any though, so she was a bit startled when her cellphone began ringing. Normally, she'd let it go to voicemail, but the caller ID was the school. That was never a good thing either.
"Hello?"
"Hi, it's Ms. Gainesborough, and I was calling to check on Skylee and Kristie? See if everything was okay?" Lightning sat straight at the question. Why would she ask that?
"Shouldn't you know? They are at school, aren't they?"
"No, I assumed they were sick and were staying home for today-"
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to call you back." She hung up and left her desk, leaving without a word to anyone. She could explain later, right now was a little more important than paper work. Lightning dialed her sister's number and told her to she needed to talk to her.
"What do you mean they ditched school? They're only in the 2nd grade!" Serah worried. Snow put his hand on his chin in thought, thinking of ways to find his nieces and be the hero.
"We'll find them, Lightning."Fang assured her. Vanille nodded in agreement. Hope would be there, but was absent attending his college classes. Their close friends, Tifa, Zack, and Marlene and Denzel, were also present.
The adults were comforting Light, while brainstorming of places of where the girls could've gone.
"Tell them, Marlene." Denzel whispered. Light heard him. She walked over to the guilty looking duo.
"Tell us what?"
"Well, Sky and Kristie said I shouldn't say why but I guess I can tell you where." she breathed. "They went to see the Prince."
"What?"
"The Prince on the t.v. Skylee and Kristie went to see him today." Marlene repeated. Light thanked her, and started to leave Serah's house. Hopefully, they were safe and not in any trouble.
The doors burst wide open to Noctis's office. He first saw Prompto and Gladious, but was surprised to see two small girls trailing them. He stared at the two kids, definitely out of place.
"Hello! I'm Kristie Farron and this is my sister, Skylee Farron!" The darker haired one rushed towards the desk. Her bright blue eyes struck him with a familiar feeling, like he'd seen them before.
"H-hello?" He didn't know how to react. Then the prince turned to his friends for a reason. "Why are these kids in here?"
"Great question. We are here to ask you something. It could benefit us all." Noctis and the others were impressed, not many 7-years burst in proposing deals to them. It was certainly a first.
"You see, Mr. Prince Noctis-"
"You can just call me Noctis."
"Okay, Mr. Noctis, this deal can help us all out." Kristie began again.
"We want you to marry our Mommy!" Skylee shouted.
"What?" The four men said simultaneously.
"Yeah, you get a wife and we get a daddy! It is a plan without any down-sides!" Skylee added excited.
"Hold on, you little girls can't just demand the Prince to marry a woman he has never met." said Ignis.
"Don't worry, my cousin, Nicholas, said that my Uncle Hope said that my Mommy is a MILF!"
"Do you know what that means?" Prompto asked curiously. She shook her 'no', still oblivious and smiling.
"What made you think made me a good choice for your mom?" Noctis smirked amused. This was the most interesting thing he'd experienced since his visit.
"Well..you have a nice nose! Plus, your choice of clothing is nice!" Kristie said.
"And you are a Prince, and you look smart, and you're pretty!" Skylee added.
"Don't forget his hair!" Kristie reminded.
Noctis was about to respond when a guard knocked requesting permission to enter. He came in. "Lord Noctis, a woman is demanding to see her children if they were here."
"Mr. Noctis, you can't let our mommy know we are here!"
"They will be replaced with puppies!" His blonde friend pleaded too. He sighed and agreed. They hid under his desk which caused him to move out of the way and to the front.
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Noct, hiding a mother's children from her is like agitating a Momma Bear." Gladious shook his head.
"It could be anyone looking for their kids! You never know-"
"Skylee Rosa Farron and Kristabelle Evelyn Farron, you better come out here right now! I know you're here!" A woman in a Guardian Corps uniform had burst in. Her hair was unmistakably the same shade as Skylee's and the style was very similar to Kristie. The resemblance was shocking. She seemed to ignore the four men standing, in front of her.
"Ma'am, can we help you?" Ignis asked.
"Yeah, you can tell me were my kids are!" Light snapped at the man with glasses, who seemed to just back into the wall quietly.
Noctis stepped forward to say quietly. "Check the desk." Light glanced over his shoulder to see a pair of dark and bright blue eyes peering over the wooden desk. Her face softened and she ran towards it. Kristie and Skylee both dipped down, and cringed when remembering the use of their full names. That meant Mom was really angry.
So, continue? or keep it as is? I dont know if you want this to keep going, I wasnt really planning on it but if that is what ya want I don't mind!
Love you and don't forget to respect yo momma!
