A/N: Hallow! While i am still brainstorming for my other story, "Sweet Kiss" (Trying to make it a bit more romantic) I decided to start a new story! I know, I know, doesn't sound like a awesome idea, but trust me i am a good multi-taker! Okay, well here's the first part of this HopexOC!

"Ahaha! So Pretty!"

Young Hope Esthiem admired the PalumPolum Cove in the sunset. His short layered, silver hair flowing as his emerald eyes glistened with each blink he made. Hope sat down on the sandy bank, looking at the sky. Suddenly he saw the water move, in the air... As if by magic. He jumped up and started to run, but he ran into a girl.

"Sorry!" Hope opened his eyes. He started to blush as he saw a girl about his age. She has long, wavy charcoal black colored hair that came to the mid-section of her back and she had Sapphire blue eyes. She wore a blue ruffled shirt with a blue mid-thigh length skirt, followed by white and blue stripped thigh high socks, and brown boots. All topped off with dark blue arm warmers and a blue clip on her bangs. She frowned at the shocked boy, "Sheesh! I almost perfected it until you bumped in to me!"

Hope looked confused, "What we're you perfecting?" The mysterious girl sighed, "Here I'll show you." She took out a blue colored staff which resembled a glaive. She called out, "Waterga!" Instantly the water went up in the air as high as ever. Hope's eyes widened, "Wow! How did you do that?"

The girl pulled back her hair, to reveal a black L'Cie mark on her neck. "I'm an L'Cie" she stated. Hope slowly backed away from the girl, "You're not going to hurt me, are you?"

The girl looked at Hope in confusion, "Of course not! Why would I do that?" Hope shrugged, "People in Palumpolum say that L'cie are dangerous and pulse invested."

The girl clenched her fist, "Stupid rumors..." The girl sighed again, "I'm Nevaeh, What's your name?" The boy grinned, "Hope."

Nevaeh smiled, "Well it's nice to meet you, Hope!"

-2 years later-

"Hey! Nevaeh!" Hope waved at the black haired beauty while arriving closer to the cove. Her clothes were different from before. She now wore a dark blue strapless tube top with a light blue long sleeved halter underneath. Her skirt was dark blue and about thigh length with one white stripe at the bottom of the skirt. She wore light blue thigh highs; all topped off with black Ugg boots that covered her ankle. Her hair was longer and she wore two clips on her bangs that were shaped as an "x"

Nevaeh smiled as she saw her childhood friend. She hit him on the back, "Yo, Hope, It's been a while! "

Hope yelped from the strength of her hand and she chuckled. "Still strong as ever aren't you?" Nevaeh nodded, "Of course!"

He laughed, and then asked, "How've you been?" She gave a small and sweet smile, "I've been fine. What about you?"

Hope blushed and thought to himself, "Wow, she looks truly beautiful when she smiles."

Nevaeh looked confused, "Hope? You still there?"

He shook his head from his thoughts, and gave a smile back at her, "Oh sorry. Just thinking to myself, but yeah, I've been fine too."

She gave another smile, "Good!"

Hope suddenly remembered, "Uh hey, are you still a... L'Cie?"

Nevaeh nodded and pulled back her hair, showing the L'Cie mark in the same place as before. "Yep, I'm still a L'Cie. I don't think that fact will change anytime soon."

Hope noticed something different, "Hey, wasn't it black before?" Nevaeh nodded again, but this time she smiled too, "Glad you noticed! I finished my focus a while ago, so it just sort of turned this way."

He slightly titled his head, "Focus? What's that?"

Nevaeh looked in his eyes, and came closer to Hope. They we're only a mere inch distance, when she whispered in his ear, "That's a Se-cr-et!"

Hope's face turned super red, as he scrambled for words, "Ah um well uh o-o-okay..."

She laughed and Hope's face was even redder, "Hey! That's not funny!"

Nevaeh laughed harder, and Hope just sighed, "Sheesh!"

He looked at the sunset not so far from where they were standing, "the sunset looks so beautiful."

Nevaeh looked in Hope's direction then at the sunset, she gave a small giggle and rested her head on Hope's shoulder.

Hope smiled at Nevaeh and looked back at the sunset, "You are beautiful, Nevaeh."

Nevaeh smiled and closed her eyes, "Thanks."

The two stopped talking and stood on the sandy beach next to each other, still admiring the sunset.
