A/N #1: Massive shout out goes to Cormag Ravenstaff and his completed FLight tale "Invitations" for the idea behind this tale (I am using the formula of doing one-three part one shot tales of each character BEFORE going into the actual tale, that way the overall plot is better explained). Make sure to rate/review!
Prologue
"Claire?! Where is she…" Serah begins, but is unable to finish, as she falls to the floor of the home she and her fiancé Snow share, finally realizing that Lightning didn't come with them, crying herself to the point her eyes dry out. Vanille and Snow see this when they come in and immediately comfort the younger Farron sister, at a loss of words of the entire situation currently at hand. Sadly, Snow tells the younger Farron that he'll give her some space for the time being, knowing just how hard this is for Serah. What's even worse is that the younger Farron's life goes into a downward spiral from that moment…will anyone save her from this? Can she even save herself?

Fang is angrily training at a beach near Bodhum-Oerba, as she scared Vanille away for the millionth time. Unable to accept that her Sunshine didn't come with them to the new world, the brunette scared everyone she knew away one by one…especially her younger sister Vanille. Once finished with her training, she places her lance down and curls into a ball and cry, as life without her Sunshine is too much for her to bear. Deep in her heart, the brunette suspected Lightning didn't want to become the new goddess of death voluntarily. Little did she know that her suspicions would be right…but who would believe her if she said anything about that to anyone? Would they think that she lost her mind by thinking that?

Hope is hanging out in his room, unwilling to do anything (fun or not) or even talk to his parents, who were both reborn in the new world. Without Lightning, there was no reason for him to shoot for the stars or even talk to anyone. It was as if he was a ghost – he couldn't save Lightning in the end like he promised. Hope was too afraid to apologise to Serah and Fang for this, although they knew that he had nothing to do with the current situation. Something within him said that something out of his control caused the mess to happen, that Light didn't want this voluntarily. The silver-haired teen hoped that his gut is telling the truth…will Fang and Serah forgive him if he talked to them? If Lightning came to the new world, would she forgive him?

Hope, Fang and Serah have their work cut out for them to make Lightning human again so that she can live in the new world with them: Lightning is Hope's mentor. Serah's older sister. Fang's home.
