Vivio smiled happily as she stared up at Carnegie's night sky, her legs dangling gently over the edge of the guest house her friends and family were currently relaxing in. It had been a long, yet super fun day of playing and training and spending time with her loved ones.

"Vivio, there you are!"

"Ah, Cia!" Vivio greeted her host. "I was just looking up at the stars."

"Oh? Mind if I join you?" The older girl asked.

"Of course!" Vivio happily patted the spot next to her and Lutecia sat down. They revelled in the moment before Lutecia spoke up.

"So, are you enjoying things so far?" She asked.

"It's great!" Vivio beamed. "It so much fun being here with everyone! Not to mention the food, rooms, training ground and hot springs are all top notch!"

"Fu fu fu." Lutecia puffed her chest out proudly. "I worked hard making sure everything was absolutely perfect for you!" Yes, as soon as Lutecia heard that Vivio would be visiting for training, she worked tirelessly to ensure it was all just right.

"Hehehe!"

Lutecia blinked as Vivio giggled. "What's so funny?"

"I was just thinking about how much you've changed." Vivio said. "Back then you were more quiet and reserved, but now you're bursting with energy!"

"I-I guess." Lutecia flushed. "Is that a bad thing?"

"Nope!" Vivio smiled broadly. "I really like this Cia!"

Lutecia's heart skipped a beat as she laughed nervously. "T-Thanks. Well, normally I wouldn't have thought I'd turn out like this. Even though I have mom and Garyuu and the others, it was still kind of lonely here… But every so often I would get video calls from a certain girl. We'd end up chatting for hours about the past and the present, and her cheerful disposition made it impossible for me not to brighten up as well. With her I could smile and laugh so much, and eventually I could do it around others as well. I'm really grateful to this girl." The summoner gave the blond a meaningful look.

Vivio chuckled in an embarrassed manner, red adorning her cheeks. "Aw, I didn't do that much!"

"You did a lot." Lutecia whispered, her hand lightly gripping Vivio's. "More than you'll ever know."

Vivio smiled and rotated her hand so she could return Lutecia's grasp. Lutecia figured the younger girl interpreted the gesture as something innocent and didn't pick up on the deeper meaning behind it, but Lutecia was ok with that.

"But I guess mom was right." She muttered. "Falling in love really does change a person."

"Hm? Did you say something, Cia?"

"No," Lutecia shook her head with a smile. "It's nothing."

Just to set the record straight, I didn't write this to appease a certain anonymous reviewer, nor did I write this in some attempt to become popular. I wrote it because RadiantBeam was really feeling down regarding the incident with the aforementioned reviewer, and since I love her as much as I do, I wanted to cheer her up. This fic is dedicated to her.

To briefly address said issue: I know my Vivio/Yuuno stuff has some problems, but that doesn't mean you can go on a tirade like that. Give criticism in a polite way rather than just "You suck, do this instead." Sure, my series may not have the following that RB's series does, and I might be alone on my ship, but such a thing is irrelevant. This isn't a contest, you know. Also, pairings don't make a fic better. It may make more people like it, sure, but it doesn't necessarily make it better.

Harsh words won't make me change my ways. I've been hated by this fandom for almost two years now, so I'm used to it. It'll take more than that to affect me ;)
