Summary: Lightning is a ordinary college student attending Cocoon University, well almost. Since she's a soldier at Guardian Corp, she's also quite popular among the students. She lives pretty much normal with her friends though yet for some reason she feels a bit empty inside. That all changes when a mysterious girl appears and starts to attend the school. Who reminds Lightning of someone she knew so long ago, and yet it was impossible! Who is this mysterious woman and what actually is she doing here at Cocoon University? Lightning Farron x OC. LightxNoctis. FangxVanille
Warning: Rated T for language, violence, yuri, may contain sexual implied events, child abuse, slavery, minor incest and more.
Setting: This is a AU (alternate universe) from the original game. It's a bit futuristic (something like Phantasy Star Universe) instead of modern. So expect flying cars, everything being sorta shiny and metallic (If you ever played FF8, the school is like Squall's school in the beginning of the game). In this, I know its suppose to be college, but since this is AU, I'm going to treat it more like a High School setting. Why? Because High school is fun to write about but I don't feel like altering all their ages so there :P its a AU damnit so yeah! XD Basically, there is Planet Cocoon and Planet Pulse. Cocoon is the futuristic place, while Pulse is more nature like. Like in the game ha XD
Kai: Oh! And this story will switch between Lightning and my OC. It goes chapter 1- Lightning, Chapter 2- Lia, Chapter 3-Lightning (and so on and so on)
Prologue
A little girl sat under a cherry blossom tree. Her silver hair flowing with the gentle wind as cherry blossom petals fell, landing neatly in her silver white hair. Crystal blue eyes staring up at the sky, watching the petals gently fall and the fluffy clouds in the sky. It was warm out, the sun currently hiding behind the white fluffy clouds that covered the blue sky. She let out a soft sigh, hugging her legs and resting her chin on her knees. She wore a black t shirt with the word 'Choco' on it, colored with white letters, and dark blue jeans and wore black tennis shoes.
"Dear! It's time to go! Come on!" a woman's voice yelled from a red floating car.
The little girl sighed again but slowly stood, taking a last glance around before starting to walk to the car, but instantly stopped when two voices called out to her, the sound of running feet scrapping against the grass. She turned to the left and saw two girls running toward her, both looked quite alike, each one had brilliant pink hair with blue eyes. One was older though, about eight years old while the other was six. The younger girl had a much softer face while the elder the other was quite tall and her face was pretty smooth. The older one wore blue jeans with a red no sleeve turtleneck while the younger wore a white blouse and a red skirt.
Both wore their hair down and the little silver haired girl watched as their hair fluttered behind them till they stopped in front of her, gasping for breath a little.
"Oneesan! Oneesan!" the younger pink haired girl squeaked, giving the silver haired girl a crushing hug.
She let out a soft squeak but giggled. "Your crushing me... oof!" the silverette yelped as the older girl tackled hugged them, making them fall down on the soft grass.
It took a moment for everything to process, but soon the three little girls started to get into a fit of giggles, hugging each other tightly. After they calmed down, they sat up, sitting next to each other in a triangle shape so they could look at everyone. The younger pink haired girl then pouted, looking sadly at the silverette.
"...do you really have to go Oneesan?" she whimpered, soon tears welling up in her eyes.
Glancing toward her younger sister, the elder girl sighed softly. "She has to go, her mom and dad think she'll be better with her uncle. Papa says that her family is having gil problems." she said softly practically, but she looked sad also.
As her sister said this, the younger girl turned to glare and pout at her. "Oneesan! It's still not fair! She's our bestest besty best friend in the whooooooolllle woooooorld!" she cried out while her elder sister sweat dropped and sighed.
Blinking, the silverette giggled softly and tussled the younger girl's soft pink hair. "I don't want to go either. I rather stay with you two, even my dummy brother of mine." she said and all three laughed at that.
Just then the younger girl brighten up and looked at her elder sister expectingly. "Oneesan! Oneesan! Give her the gift!" she chirped, almost bouncing about in her place.
The silverette blinked, looking at the elder girl curiously who blushed a bit with embarrassment, quickly pulling something from her pocket then held out her fists, opening them up and revealing some sort of necklace. It was a black cotton choker with a silver chained necklace attached, the chain wrapped around the choker with the pendent laying slightly loose on the front. It looked kinda like a fancy pants dog collar to be honest. The pendent was a silver heart locket.
Watching the blushing elder pink haired girl, the silverette looked at the collar and gently took it, examining it and opening the locket. Revealing a picture of the three of them smiling. The elder sister was standing on the left, while herself was in the middle, and the younger sister was on the right. The silverette had a arm around the two sisters, smiling brightly.
"So you won't ever forget us... I made the collar in school! While Oneesan when shopping with Mama for the necklace and merged the two!" the younger girl piped cheerfully, but her eyes trembled, trying not to cry.
The elder sister blushed more. "Y-Yeah... it's nothing much... So you better not forget us, we worked really hard on it." she said, crossing her arms and pouted.
For a moment, the silver haired girl stared then smiled. "It's wonderful... but why a collar?" she wondered outloud.
"Cause your like our puppy! You'd be very cute if you had ears and a tail!" chirped the younger girl innocently.
Her elder sister sighed though and face palmed. "That's not a very nice thing to say..." she muttered and looked at her silver haired friend with embarrassment and apology.
But the silver haired girl just shook her hair with a bright happy smile. "Oh it's okay! I would be cute as a puppy hm? I'll always treasure it... I'll never forget either of you." she said happily, tears welling up in her eyes.
The three of them embraced each other, each of them tearing up, soon though the younger girl started to sob uncontrollably. Her elder sister held her younger sister close then looked at their friend.
"...promise me... that you'll come back one day?" she said softly, trying her best not to cry and be strong in front of them.
She paused, but the silverette smiled brightly and nodded eagerly. "I promise... I promise I'll come back and watch over you both, and protect you and stay by your sides. Forever and ever..." she promised but giggled as the elder girl huffed.
"I don't need protecting..." the elder pink haired girl muttered.
"I still promise it." the silverette laughed and gave each of the girls a friendly kiss on the foreheads. "And I never break a promise." she said gleefully.
The three girls laughed till a the same woman called again. "Come on!"
A sigh escaped the silverette's lips, but she stood and smiled sadly at them, tears now spilling out of her eyes.
"...Goodbye... see you in the future!" the silverette said then turn and bolted to the car, a arm covering her uncontrollably crying eyes.
She heard her younger friend wail and sob but she kept running till she ran into the open door of the car. When it closed, she looked out of the window, hands pressing against the glass. She felt the tears flow down her cheeks as she saw her two friends standing there, the younger girl sobbing into her sister who was holding her close while watching the car.
A moment of hesitation set in before the silver haired girl pressed a button, opening the window then stuck her head out and screamed.
"I'll keep my promise Claire! Serah! I won't forget!"
