A little girl around the age of Nine was walking around the Citadel in Insomnia. Her bright, almost iridescent purple eyes taking in all the sights that each room held. Her shaggy brown hair was sticking up in different places, despite all the brushing that was done to make it look neat. The reason why she was wandering around by herself was that her father was currently in a meeting with King Regis, King of Lucis. Her father was King Matthias Chronis, King of Lemuria.

She wondered what her father was doing at this moment. Shaking her head to make those dull thoughts disappear, she suddenly remembered something that King Regis told her before she left to explore. He had said that there is a garden somewhere and something about having a son around her age. Quickly she picked up her pace to see if she could find the garden before her father was done with the meeting and came looking for her.

Rounding a corner rather quickly she collided with someone. She yelped as she fell onto the ground rather harshly. While the other person grunted and stumbled back a bit by the sudden force, she quickly realized what happened and opened her eyes to apologize.

"I am so sorry; I wasn't watching where I was going." She spoke in haste as she looked directly into a pair of amber eyes.

She almost got lost looking into his eyes. Fortunately, she snapped out of her daze, the boy, on the other hand, was surprised by the quick apology and then the girl's bright purple eyes. He had never seen that color for someone's eyes. Then he realized that she had fallen when they ran into each other. He held out his hand and gave her a kind smile.

"It's okay I wasn't watching where I was going either." She smiled back at him, and she took hold of his hand and thanked him once he pulled her up.

"My name is Gladiolus Amicita, but you can call me Gladio." He said as he shook her hand gently. She giggled a bit as she shook his hand, and gave him a toothy smile.

"I'm Rosalie Chronis; you can call me Rosie."

"Nice to meet you."

"Where were you headed before we ran into each other?"

"Oh, I was trying to find my way to the garden."

Gladio's eyes lit up. "I can take you there if you want."

"Really?! Thank you so much." Gladio chuckled as he walked side by side with her.

They walked in silence as Gladio lead her to the garden. Another pair of footsteps broke the silence walked towards them at a brisk pace. Both Gladio and Rosie turned around to see who was walking. Gladio immediately recognized him.

"Ignis, what are you doing here. Shouldn't you be with the prince?" He huffed as he crossed his arms.

Ignis sighed as he pushed up his glasses. "I was with him. But he managed to slip away. Now he is hiding from me. I was wondering if you had seen him. His father wants to see him."

Ignis then glanced over at Rosalie his eyes widened a bit. She figured that he knew who she was. Quickly, she held her hand and introduced herself.

"Hello, I'm Rosalie Chronis, but please call me Rosie." He seemed slightly surprised by the way she wanted him to address her. But he still took her hand and shook it as he introduced himself.

"I am Ignis Scientia; it's a pleasure to meet you, Rosalie." He said with a slight bow of his head to show his respect towards her but sent her a small smile as well.

Ignis and Gladio continued to talk with each other. She decided to look around while the two of them talked. She spotted a boy around her age peeking from the corner looking over at them. The boy see's her looking over at him and quickly hides behind the wall. She looks over at the two older boys who were deep into their conversation. Deciding to investigate herself she walks away from the group to where the boy was hiding. He didn't notice her, so she decided to say something.

"Hello." She said softly. The boy jumped a bit as his eyes widened. He then quickly pulled her behind the wall out of sight of the others.

"Who are you?" He asked rather rudely. It took her a few minutes for her to recover.

"Oh, um I'm Rosalie. May I ask who you are?"

He was silent for awhile; she took this moment to study his appearance. He had messy black hair and deep blue eyes. 'He must be King Regis' son.' She thought to herself.

"Noctis." She quickly snapped out of her thoughts.

"My name is Noctis." A bright smile found its way onto her face.

"Nice to meet you. I hope we can be friends." He seemed to smile a bit at this. "Are you hiding from Ignis?"

Noctis nodded before he could say anything in return a different voice responded.

"I told Ignis to find my son for me."

We both turned to see King Regis. I immediately bowed, out of respect. King Regis just chuckled in response.

"I hope you have been enjoyed your short stay here." He said to Rosalie with a warm smile, and she couldn't help but smile back.

"I had a fantastic time, and I even made some new friends." She said happily while looking at Noctis.

Regis chuckled again as his son looked flustered. Ignis and Gladio came around the corner and instantly bowed.

"King Regis." Both said in sync. Regis nodded his head towards the boys. "Ignis, Gladiolus." King Matthias came walking up behind Regis.

"Regis, have you seen my daughter anywhere?" He questioned, which was answered when Rosalie saw her father and ran towards him.

"Papa!" She yelled happily. Matthias smiled as he picked up his daughter and brought her into a hug. "There you are!"

Regis saw the boys' looks of confusion. "Ah let me formally introduce all of you. Boys this is King Matthias Chronis and his daughter Rosalie Chronis of Lemuria."

Two out of three boys gaped at the two royals standing in front of them. Quickly they bowed to the King in front of them. Matthias chuckled and dismissed the boys. His own purple eyes were bright with laughter. He had shaggy black hair which was just as messy as his daughter's. His usual clean cut look wasn't as pristine as it normally was. Regis then continued with introductions.

"This is my son Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum and his friends, Ignis Scientia, and Gladiolus Amicitia." Matthias smiled kindly at the boys as he put his daughter down.

"It's a pleasure to meet you three." His smiled widened as he watched his daughter walk over to her new friends. Both Matthias and Regis silently watched them all talk with each other. Regis turned to Matthias.

"Why don't you and your daughter stay the night," Regis asks quietly.

"I don't think my daughter will oppose to the idea of staying here a bit longer."

Both men chuckled as they left the children to bond with each other.

The next morning the two Kings stood side by side watching the three boys saying goodbye to their new found friend. Noctis didn't want her to leave. Even though they all had just met yesterday, Noctis had already thought of her as his best friend. Most likely because of their many similarities.

Both never knew their mother. Also, they both had a relatively lonely childhood. Apart from Noctis having his friend Luna whom he never got to see often anymore. Rosalie had nobody but the castle guards to keep her company and to play with her. Then there was the fact both knew how to use magic. But Rosalie's magic was different from Noctis'. She had the power to summon powerful creatures to aid her, but only after she was able to make a contract with them successfully. She mostly used her magic for healing. But so far she was becoming quite skilled with a sword. She has only been able to make a contract with one creature thus far.

Ignis, on the other hand, enjoyed her company but didn't whine about her leaving as much as Noctis did. She rather enjoyed watching Ignis cook while he was in the kitchen. She had complimented him on how well his food tasted as well as how focused he was when cooking. Even though Ignis didn't show how saddened he was by her leaving, she knew better, because she could see how sad he truly was by looking into his eyes.

Gladio thought of her as another sister, because she reminded him of his little sister Iris. When she had told him that she was currently learning the basics of swordplay, he was at first surprised that her father would allow his only daughter to learn such a critical skill but quickly brushed the thought away. He had asked her to show him what she was taught so far. Gladio would correct her if she were holding the sword incorrectly or if her stance was off. He had even decided to show her a few things that he thought could help her with learning how to fight.

Even though they all didn't know each other long, she had found a way into all of their hearts. Rosalie herself was sad that she would have to leave her new friends, but she promised to write to all of them as much as she could. She had a feeling she would see them again when her father would come to Insomnia on business.

She gave them all a long hug as her dad announced that they needed to be getting on the road soon. She looked at each of them with teary eyes. The last person she had to say goodbye to was King Regis. Walking up to him, he smiled gently down at her.

"I hope you enjoyed your stay here, my dear." He said softly.

The next thing Rosalie did surprise everyone, excluding her father. She jumped towards the king and wrapped her arms around him in a big hug.

"This has been the best trip ever. Thank you so much." She whispered, only loud enough for the king to hear.

Once she pulled away, she walked back to her father with a saddened smile as they both climbed into the car. As the car pulled away, she turned around in her seat to look out the back window and wave at her friends as their figures got smaller before she couldn't see them anymore.
