New Story :) Enjoy and expect Drama...
Chapter 1:
"Earth to Lightning!" Lightning's tall brunette friend wave her hand in front of her face. Light's crystal-clear blue eyes fluttered and she zoned back in.
"Sorry, Tifa." Tifa rolled her eyes and backed up. She spun in a little circle.
"Well, how's this one?" Light tilted her head so that it rested slightly on her shoulder.
"It's purple?" she snapped her head straight up again arching her brow.
"So! Maybe I wanna spice things up a bit!" Light bit her lower lip fighting back the very strong urge to laugh at the gaudy purple dress. "Fine! Okay, it's terrible." Tifa plopped on the couch Light was sitting on head hung low.
"Teef, I'm sure Genesis will like you in anything." She comforted Tifa who got back up to her feet.
"Yeah, I know but the wedding is in three and a half weeks!"
"Calm down, Tifa!" Light stood up and grabbed Tifa's shoulder shaking them slightly. Tifa's cellphone went off in her purse; she shuffled over and answered it.
"Hello...what?...I don't care about his passion for tacos...I question our cousinhood!...yeah...well you too!...good day to you!" Tifa forcefully hung up. She was turned red from frustration and anger. Light knew it was something to do with her wedding.
"What happened?"
"My dumbass cousin, Rinoa, is bailing out as my maid of honor to elope with her boyfriend, Squall!"
"Yeah, that's bad.."
"Its terrible! I mean whose gonna- wait a minute." Tifa approached her pink haired friend. She lifted he dress slightly and got down on one knee, she looked up at Light grabbing one of her hands in both of hers. "Lightning, will you make me the happiest bride-"
"What the hell?" she interrupted but Tifa ignored it and continued.
"On the Earth and be my maid of honor?" She shot Light a pleading smile. To avoid another Bridezilla moment, she did what a good friend would do...accept it.
"It would be my pleasure." Tifa sprang to her feet and wrapped her arms around Light. "T-Tifa. I need. Air!" She released her from her death hug.
"Sorry! But on to more pressing matters, so now that you're officially the maid of honor, what dress will you wear?"
"I'm not wearing a dress."
"Yes. You. Are." Tifa slightly twitched her eye, holding back her inner Bridezilla. "At your wedding you can dress in pajamas for all I care, but you WILL wear a dress or I will fucking cut you!" Nevermind, there went that control.
"Tifa, I am not wearing a dress!"
"I really hate you..." Light came out in a dress, with a scornful expression on her face. She hated the uncomfortable feeling of no pants. She dealt with the god awful skort for the Guardian Corps uniform, but this was 100 times worse.
"Awh c'mon, you look hot! I betcha Cloud would love to see you in it." Tifa winked.
"All the reason not to wear it." There was silence between the two and then Tifa's phone went off again.
"Hello?" A smile spread across her face, then she gave a high-pitched giggle. "I'll be there in a little bit. Alright, love you too." she hung up and made her way back to the fitting room. Light spoke to her through the door.
"Was that Genesis?"
"Uhh..Yeah!" She was struggling to get out of the gaudy purple dress. Light took advantage of her distraction and changed back into her regular clothing, which happened to be her uniform at the time.
"You two, spend way too much time together, it's almost sickening." Tifa came out in her casual clothing. They exited the bridal store and walked to their respectable cars, parting with each other.
[Lightning]
Lightning drove up to her apartment building. She lived on the third floor, her neighbors were awfully quiet, with the exception for her across-the-hall neighbor, and that made it perfect for her. Tifa, Vanille and Fang were loud enough during the day. Tifa's wedding was inching closer and now the 'great' title, maid of honor, was her's. Being a regular bridesmaid was stressful enough, and she was the Bride's right hand woman.
She slumped on her couch, staring at her rug. 'I hate that rug. Why did he even give me that rug, it's hideous.' It was getting dark out and the street Light's flickered on, there was a knock on her door. Sluggishly she answered the door. "What do you want?"
"Is that anyway to treat your neighbor?" her Neighbor walked in past her.
"C'mon on in, I guess." she closed the door, it was just best not to fight it. Her neighbor seemed like a dark, emo, depressing guy, if only that were true..
"I love what you've done with the place!" His blue eyes exploring her apartment's plain interior.
"Thanks. May I ask why you just barge in here, like you own the place?" he turned to look at her, she was obviously annoyed.
"Because, Lightning, we are going out! I assure you, it will be legendary."
"I'm sorry, we aren't going out, I would 'love' to, but I'm going to just lay on bed and sleep."
"I don't don't mind lying in bed with you." Her neighbor winked.
"Noctis, we have gone over this, I'm not interested."
"When are you gonna stop delaying the inevitable, we will have sex one day, I mean I'm too awesome to be rejected." he smirked.
"Sure, you keep your perky attitude, but that's never gonna happen."
"Sure it won't, and I am never gonna be this good-looking, for the rest of my life, oh wait, yes I am!"
"Why am I still talking to you?"
"We are going out, let's go, I'm suited up, let's do this, unless you wanna, y'know,keep this party here." he winked.
After a solid thirty minutes of arguments, Lightning agreed to go with Noctis, as long as he would quit mentioning 'the inevitable'.
"See, isn't this place great?"
"Define 'great'." The bar he had taken her to was alright, but it was just a regular, nothing fancy bar.
"Lightning, you see, all these drunk girls , I can't just come up to them I need a wing man, and since Zack, is out meeting his lady, god help him, I decided it was time for your coronation into being my wingwoman." Noctis explained scoping out the bar.
"Wait, wingwoman, you have to be kidding me? I thought you were awesome. Can't you bother someone else with this?"
"Light, I scratch your back you scratch mine, it's simple. If you can hook me up with that blondie over there, I will stop bothering you."
"Fine." She set her drink down and walked over to the girl with Blonde shoulder length hair. She was sipping her drink staring off in space, and barely noticing Light approaching her. "Hi, I'm Lightning. Haaavvvve you met Noctis?" She pulled Noctis into the girl and left. In fact, she left the bar.
When she arrived back home, she kicked off her boots and fell into bed, fully dressed. Tomorrow she had to go on another appointment with Tifa for her wedding.
If she had to look at one more place setting, she would tear her hair out.
[Tifa]
Tifa drove to the usual meeting place. She made her way up to the eighth floor of the hotel. Why the eighth floor, only he would want to pick a random floor like this. She knocked on the door.
"It's me!"
"Teef, what took you so long, I thought ya died!" His strikingly, bright blue had hints of playfulness as he joked.
"You know, you always call me in the middle of important things." she entered the room and say on the edge of the bed.
"Well, I am pretty important myself." "The wedding is in three and a half weeks, I really need to get it all figured out."
"Don't worry, but for now, let's forget about that silly wedding." His lips met her's.
Super exicted for Chapter 2! Yes, Noctis is a Barney Stinson( I love 'How I Met Your Mother' :) )
