Chapter 1: I'm a MAN!
It was two years after the fall of Cocoon, Snow and Serah got married, NORA was still active and were now helping the Guardian Corps, Sazh became a delivery pilot, Lightning was taken back by the GC and promoted to Lieutenant, Hope was back in school, and Fang and Vanille remained crystallized in the center of Cocoon. In addition, Hope was living together with the Lightning since his dad was always busy with government stuff.
Nothing new. But Hope still managed to see him about every weekend.
Though Hope was wondering about of a lot of things, he pushed those thoughts aside because today was Lightning's birthday. Serah told them they were having a surprise party because Lightning would definitely not want a party. Hope tried to tell her not to because Lightning doesn't like parties especially her own parties, but Serah gave him a glare and saying 'We will have a party for Claire.' Hope just shrunk back behind Snow trying to hide from the glare that was just as good as Lightning's. The big guy also cringed at the sight of his wife glare, thanking that it was not aimed towards him for once.
Man. Even Serah can give off a killer glare, though Light's is a little bit better. Hope shuddered at the thought of being the victim of the Farron sisters' glare. Imagine both at the same time. Hope let out a little whimper and Snow looked at him and laughed like he knew what Hope was thinking. Hope just sighed and kept walking.
Currently him and Snow are heading though the mall in New Bodhum looking for a present for Lightning, as well as, party supplies. The construction of civilization has progressed rapidly over the past two years on Gran Pulse. Everything was just like on Cocoon, it was amazing that everything managed to progress this fast. Though the only thing that Hope was disappointed about was the names of the cities. Whoever named them just put 'New' in front of a Cocoon cities name, for example New Bodhum, New Eden, and New Palepolum. So much for creativity.

"Hope, let's go into that store to look for a present for Lightning."
"Okay, but you really should have gone present shopping sooner, not wait for the day of."
"Hehe, I forgot…"
"Really…You better not let Serah or Light know that you forgot. Or else Light will punch you or worse…they could give you the look."
They bother shuddered.
"I won't and you won't too, right?"
"Yeah… unless you do something to make me mad."
"Oooh I wouldn't go telling them I forgot if I was you, 'cause I got something on you too, Hope."
Before Hope could ask what he was talking about he ran into the store and disappear into the aisles. Maker, he's more of a kid than me. Hope started to look around the store, looking at all the clothes trying to determine what new things came in. He wander through the store aimlessly with arms folded behind his back and whistling. However, when Hope came to he found himself in the girl's clothes section. It was full of frilly dresses. Wow. Girls these days wear some weird things. Hopefully Snow didn't come here and buy some clothes as a joke for Light. She would beat him so bad. By the way, I never seen her in anything other than her uniform, tank top and shorts, pajamas, and that one time with her in a towel…long story.
He eye fell on a yellow and white dress. It looked kind of cute? It had a white choker with yellow frilly ends connect to the dress itself with white thin straps crossing over the chest, it had exposed shoulder, side attached yellow sleeves, a simple white top section and a frilly yellow bottom section though it was kind of short, and it looked like it would reach to a mid-thigh height.
"That dress, would suit you very perfectly, ma' am. Would you like to try it on?" said a female voice behind him.
Hope went red. Do I really look like a girl? Ugh, why did I have to look like mom so much? Hope was about to turn around and shout at her 'I am MAN' but he was interrupted by loud voice.
"There you are Hope! I was looking for you I found a perfect gift."
Snow then turned to the store worker and she spoke first.
"Hello, I was just asking this young lady if she wanted to try on this dress."
Snow was silent. He then turned to Hope and let out the loudest laugh.
"HAHAHA….Yes…haha…let's try on the dress. Hahaha."
"Snow! Shut Up! Lady, I am MAN! A MAN!"
The store clerk turned red and quickly apologized. Snow was laughing the entire time. Hope angrily left the store, cursing at Snow. But Snow just stood there smiling. Smiling evilly. Maker, he going to make so much fun of me. Light already thinks of me as a kid, she doesn't need to think of me as a girly boy. Ugh.
Little did Hope know that Snow had an idea. An idea that would scared Hope for life.
At GC New Bodhum HQ
Sigh. Maker, I am so bored. I can't believe Amador assigned me to desk work because it's my birthday and I should relax. I should of never insisted on staying if I was going to sit at a desk for my entire shift. To make things worse Serah wants me to head over for a birthday dinner. This can't get any worse. I hate my birthday.
Lightning was sitting at a desk doing office work. Bored out of her mind and finished with work she just sat at her desk staring out the window. After a while and Amador telling her that she was done with work for the day, Lightning gathered her stuff and sat in the car. She sat in her car for a good while contemplating things. Lightning then turned her phone on. Not to look at her texts and missed calls but a specific picture that always lightened her up.
A picture of a sleeping Hope.
Hope…I want to see you…
A/N Oooh Lightning…. I know you readers can guess what that meant… if you don't you are either dense or haven't read enough romance. I couldn't help but laugh at myself when I wrote the scene with Hope and the dress. Is there anyone else other than me that thought he would kinda look like a girl in a dress?
