Faith was probably the strongest person anybody in the city of Bodhum seen. She had shoulder length black hair. She wore black shorts that went half way down her thigh with small flaps over the center of her shorts that were sienna, (front and back) she had a tight top that was dark blue and some black shoes that looked like converse sneakers without laces. She never suspected that she would become l'Cie before. She never expected that her boyfriend would either. Just thinking such thoughts made her want to hurl. Who knew what would happen if it came true.....

2 years before the incident....

Faith's best friend was Lightning. Lightning was the one who showed her how to fight. She showed Faith how to do many marvelous things, but the one thing she showed her to do that Faith could never pay Lightning back for was how to have a boyfriend.

His name was Jack. He preferred to be called Jacknife though. She didn't realize that he could be such a great man.

"Hi, I'm Jack." He said.

"Hi, my name is Faith."

"So what's a pretty girl like you doing walking around in an outfit like that?" He said trying to be smooth.

Faith blushed and went speechless. She didn't know what to say on account of an extremely hot guy in front of her that made her silent. She wasn't like this before. ever.

"Guess you don't have anything to say huh?"

"I uh... um.."

"Tell you what, how about you meet me at that restaurant behind us and we'll talk K?"

"Uh OK." Faith said. She watched him leave. Seeing him was like seeing an angel. She decided going to the restaurant was the best idea. She met him in a few hours at the restaurant and they had a rather engaging conversation.

"So Faith tell me about yourself," Jacknife said staring at the beauty before him.

"Before that, can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Why'd you ask me out?"

"I did because I saw potential in you. Just by looking at your face. I saw potential and I thought maybe I should ask her out. Maybe she would make a great friend or become more."

"Really?"

"Hey, you asked a question now stop asking." Jack said. Faith giggled.

"So tell me about yourself."

"Well, I don't know where to start."

"Birth? Or maybe a little after that?"

"OK well, when I was seven my mom died. She left me and my twin sister Kate with my father."

"My dad died too. I was four. My mom never told me why I could never see him again."

"Hey MY story!" Faith said joking around with him again. They both laughed.

"So, a few years after that when I was about 12 I met my best friend Lightning. She taught me everything she knew. She always seemed like an amazing older sister I never had. About 4 years from then, I ran away because my dad would never forgive himself about what happened to my mom and I didn't either. Lightning was upset that I did that but she let me stay with her and her sister, Serah."

"Is Serah a red headed girl?"

"Yea why you know her?"

"Yep."

"Oh, well, shortly after that I had learned to fight and be strong about everything. Then eventually I met you. My life isn't really interesting, really."

"I think it is."

"You're sweet." Faith said. Jacknife had given her this I-really-meant-that-but-its-alright-I-guess look. Faith smiled at him.

"You have a beautiful smile."

"Stop it. You're just saying that."

"No, if I were you I'd just stand in the mirror the whole day staring at my smile."

Faith smiled again. Not because she wanted him to see but because she was having dinner with the most amazing guy in the universe. Faith looked at the corner of her eyes and saw Lightning in disguise trying to listen to everything that was going on at Faith's table. Lightning looked right at Faith and mouthed the words "Compliment him on his hair," but Faith mouthed the words "Get out of here before I pull a gun out on you." Lightning looked away. Faith turned back to Jacknife who was ordering his food.

"And you ma'am?"

"Uh, I'll just take your Italian Prosciutto." Faith said. She glanced at Lightning and she had ordered the same exact thing of Jacknife. Faith mouthed to Lightning "go to the bathroom and I'll meet you there." Lightning nodded.

"Excuse me for a moment, Jack. I'll be back in a sec."

Faith saw Lightning.

"Light, why'd you order what Jack did?"

"Sometimes you can tell about a man's personality by the foods he eats."

"Something is seriously wrong with you." Faith said and walked back to her seat. Their dinner arrived shortly (shockingly) And the two ate and talked some more and laughed.

"I still don't see why you just asked me out on a date out of the blue and all."

"Yea, well, you looked like you needed a little time away from stress, anyway."

"Ugh, I DID! Thank you for tonight. I enjoyed myself."

"You're welcome." Jack said. Faith walked off back to her house.

"Always welcome."
