Moments

This is my first attempt at writing anything remotely creative. I'm doing this as a simple hobby to get through my senior year (see my profile), so if you do actually review, please be nice. I get enough constructive criticism for my psych research papers as it is.

These stories are a collection of short one-shots (some VERY short), but they can/should be read in order, since they're supposed to be various moments in the development of Lightning and Snow's relationship. Actually, the last couple chapters aren't really one-shots I guess, eh whatever.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the FFXIII characters, and if I did, Serah would not be Snow's fiancée! Also, since I know very little of the actual story, I apologize for any inaccuracies that exist, but it's fanfiction, so it's ok, right?

Meeting

Her little sister always came busting through the door bringing along an extra bucket of cheeriness with her whenever she came home. If it had been anyone else, Lightning would have snapped them in half.

"Calm down, Serah. You'll end up breaking the door if you continue doing that."

"Hey Sis! Do you have some time later? Because there's someone I really want you to meet!" The young girl grabbed onto her older sister's arm as she asked.

"Who?" Lightning inquired as she raised an eyebrow in suspicion.

"Ok, so I know you think I'm too young to be dating, but I met this great guy and I-"

"Serah! Of course you're too young. This, this guy you speak of is probably just trying to take advantage of you!"

"No he's nothing like that. He's really nice and funny, I mean he's a little on the big side, but that's only because he needs such a big body to hold his big heart! C'mon please meet him, it would mean soooo much to ME!" Serah was making her famous pouty face with puppy dog eyes. Lightning could never win against that.

…sigh… "Fine, I'll meet him someti-."

"Great! Because he's right outside the door!" Serah chirped as she ran back to the door to get him.

"Wha-! Serah, come back here!"

Her little sister wasn't listening, and before she could process what was happening, Serah was dragging in her boyfriend by the hand. And she wasn't joking; Lightning was a tall girl, but this guy was HUGE! And to make matters worse, he looked like a damn hobo.

"Ok, Sis. Be nice and give him a chance."

"…hi" Was all she could say. How can my sister be dating such a…disgusting looking pig?! Look at him! I'll bet good money that he's unemployed.

As she was busy forming her opinion of him, the burly man suddenly gave her a hug, and she froze in horror.

When he finally let go of her, he said, "Hey, what's up? My name's Snow. Nice to meet you!"

Yep, that's it. I HATE HIM!

Note: I'm aware that Lightning meets Snow through other circumstances, but oh well! This was more fun. So was my first chapter ok?
