So...Omake time! Sorry I have been bad at replying and things-I feel bad since I used to be able to do it so often. But I complain about that more on my profile, for those who want to hear me whine. For now, I'll try to stick with Omake related type of stuff.

As some of you undoubtedly noticed, Omake and the Profile thingy won by a landslide. When it was all said and done, I was a mix of emotions. I will be frank in telling you that updates for this will probably be erratic. In fact, the reason I'm posting at all is because I saw an awesome trailer and it confirmed something for me. But that is beside the point. This can be updated frequently, or barely touched. And replying will be more difficult-again, see profile for more bits if you wish.

I was worried about what to open Omake with, but figured that contrary to Daybreak fashion, I'd do something more lighthearted. Hopefully, you'll all agree-and bare with me on my somewhat twisted sense of humor. But don't think you get off angst free. Oh no...it wouldn't be me if there wasn't an angst shot planned for the future. You will all drown in sorrow!

However, Omake will be filled with a plethora of things (hopefully). Deleted scenes, fanservice, dramatic backstory, and the like. Feel free to send me a pm if you have/had a question either about Daybreak or Omake. I will do my best to respond to it!

Sorry for the obnoxiously long note. I hope you can all hang there with me as I muddle my way back into things and deal with real life issues. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the ride!

Lebreau sighed, shaking her head and leaning against the doorway of Snow and Serah's living room. Lightning watched her from her seat in the kitchen, raising an eyebrow when the woman sighed again. Rolling her eyes, Lightning pushed herself up and walked over to Lebreau, said woman glancing back at her at the sound of the chair scraping against the floor. Lightning only hummed, leaning against the opposite side of her and looking out to the living room as well.

Maqui and Hope were on the couch, huddled together on the far right end of the sofa. Hope's head was resting against Maqui's good shoulder, his arms folded in his lap. Maqui's head was tilted back, his blond locks brushing against the wall behind him and soft snores leaving his open mouth. Hope's face scrunched for a moment and he gave a light groan, Lightning twitching at the action, but Maqui mumbled something while his head titled toward Hope's. Hope stilled the moment Maqui moved before his body relaxed further into the chair.

Lebreau sighed again and Lightning glanced at her, blinking. "What's with all the sighing? Problem with their sleeping habits?"

Lebreau looked over at Lightning, shrugging her shoulders as she twisted her body so that her back was split by the wood frame. "I was just...thinking, I guess," Lebreau muttered eventually. "About how things could have gone-about...how things may be now, if certain things had happened, or if certain people were different."

Lightning tilted her head to the side and Lebreau smirked, clapping her hands lightly on her legs. "Oh, come on, don't tell me you don't think that-" she gestured to Maqui and Hope, her smile widening, "-isn't cute?"

Lightning snorted and Lebreau rolled her eyes. "Well, all right, but you're a hardass. It's hard to impress you. And even if you don't admit it, seeing Hope all curled up like that is really adorable, in its own way." Lightning shrugged, causing Lebreau to huff.

"Whatever. If you're gonna be that way-"

"What were you thinking about?" Lebreau blinked at the question, but her smile slowly returned to her face.

"Well, you know how close Hope and Maqui are, right?" Lightning narrowed her eyes but Lebreau pressed on, her smile twitching. "And good friends, they hang out with each other. Spend time together, Bond. The works, you know? And it's not that uncommon for friends to become best friends or even-well, you know." Lebreau twisted her wrist, humming a little, but Lightning shook her head. Lebreau's face fell and she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"You serious, Light? Come on...I mean, it's kind of what happened between you and Hope, right? You had years together and once you were around each other a little while, suddenly things were heating up between the two of you..." Lebreau trailed off, shrugging slightly.

She is not...

No-she can't implying what I think she is. There is no way she would go there-

"I mean...it's not that unheard of, and if Hope went that way-"

"You're saying you'd think those two would hit it off?" Lebreau's mouth fell open at Lightning's brusque reply, but it quickly snapped shut when she saw the way Lightning's eyes were flashing. Lebreau thought she could even see a glint of red in her eyes and she found herself pressing harder against the doorframe.

"Well...maybe...you know, if Hope swung that way and Maqui swung that way-I can totally see that happening.," Lebreau tried, scratching her cheek.

"Hope is no-"

"I know! I know he's not! But if he were."

"Why are we even talking about this?" Lightning shook her head, but Lebreau's face lit up. Lightning glared at her-not just glared, but supernova nuclear explosion-glared at her, but the dark-haired woman went on unaffected.

"Well, come on, Light. Guys get to imagine girl on girl action, but we don't get guy on guy action? That would be freaking hot." Lightning felt her jaw crack with the strain of not falling open, her teeth clinking together and making an odd echo in her head. Despite this, despite the look of fury that was bound to be on her face-Because there is no way in hell that I'm blushing, no way in hell. I don't care how hot my face feels, I am not blushing- Lebreau kept going.

"I mean, sure, Yuj maybe would be just as likely, but he doesn't have the same history as Hope and Maqui have." Lebreau smiled, her eyes shut as she brought her hands to her chest, cupped them, and giggled into her fingers. "Maqui and Hope though? They'd have some good, potentially angsty stuff! And then, when they're about to make out, they'd get a chance to talk and all that emotion is just perfect for things like that! Yuj, he's too fiery, too 'I'm taking what I want'. I don't think Hope would go for that."

Lightning slapped the small space between her left eye and eyebrow, feeling a strong spasm develop. Lebreau chuckled, swishing her hips slightly as a blush spread across her cheeks. "You know though, I bet if Yuj came in after they 'got together', there'd be this really awesome threesome or something! Yuj would be just the right amount of outgoing for them-and that would take it to a whole other level. What if there was a triangle?"

I won't kill her, I won't kill her, I won't kill her-

"I can already picture it!" Lebreau sang. "Yuj trying to worm his way into Hope's heart, desperate to impress the lonely, silver-haired boy without crushing his already broken spirit. Yuj's confidence may help him, but when Hope isn't up to Yuj's advances, he might make Hope feel inadequate. But there's real potential in them growing closer if they pursue a relationship. Hope would feel more comfortable with Maqui though," Lebreau was nodding now, unaware of the growing danger as Lightning's shadow loomed over her. "The only real problem is that Maqui wouldn't help Hope grow as fast-maybe even enable some of his problems. But he knows how Hope feels and can even offer him a crux when he's feeling down! He'll be more patient with Hope! And don't even get me started on the rivalry between Yuj and Maqui-made harder by the fact that they are friends as well-and good friends! What of those two actually, accidentally, well, kissed! In the heat of the moment, you know? But Hope saw! Then we'd have a broken, crushed, even shattered-"

Lebreau's voice died when a loud thump sounded by her head. Her eyes barely caught the fist before it slammed into the wall next to her head, and they bugged out as they slowly, shakily, shifted to Lightning.

The most frightening thing about Lightning's face was how blank it was. There was no emotion-anger, annoyance, pleasure that she was about to land a fatal blow-just complete and utter blankness. Her eyes were flat, her mouth a straight line, and her body neither tensed or relaxed.

Like a wall.

A scary wall capable of blowing little Lebreau to pieces.

Bite-sized pieces.

Lightning stared down at her for a full minute, not so much as breathing, before she finally muttered into Lebreau ear, "We are going to talk later. Both about this-and how much time you're spending with Rygdea. And trust me...it will be a long, arduous...talk."

Lightning pushed herself up and away from her and Lebreau slowly let herself sink to the floor, her jelly legs no longer supporting her shaking body. Lightning glanced down at her, blinking once at the trembling hands and wide, fearful eyes. Briefly, Lightning smiled.

Then Lightning turned away from Lebreau's quivering mass and marched into the living room. She grabbed Hope by the collar, jostling both Maqui and Hope awake. Maqui started to grumble but one dead, terrifying look from Lightning sent his skin paling and his 'fight or flight' response into shrieks of "Flight! Flight! For the love of all that is good and merciful, run!"

Hope, his eyes still droopy, perked up at once from her deadly look and he squirmed in her grip, but Lightning's head snapped toward him and he froze, watching her, begging that death would be quick in the back of his mind. Lightning's eyes hardened and Hope prayed-

-and her lips smashed into his, tongue forcing its way into his mouth, and he had gone from cold with fear to hot with want. He groaned and Lightning smiled into the kiss, pressing closer to him and slowly turning her head, moving more slowly and running her free hand through Hope's hair. She felt Hope start to tilt his head up, his hand brushing against her leg, and his mouth moving almost desperately against hers. As she slowly pulled away from him she smiled at the glazed, satisfied look in Hope's eyes. Her chest hot and heart racing, she leaned toward his ear and whispered, "Bedroom. Now."

Hope nodded, dazedly pushing himself up and hurrying toward the stairs. Lightning's eyes stayed on him until his footsteps died, and then she turned to Maqui, her eyes dead and cold once more. "Stay away from my boyfriend. Or die."

Lightning turned to Lebreau, raising her voice slightly. "Quit fantasizing weird things about my boyfriend. Or die."

Lightning glanced upstairs, a smirk making her way to her face. "And do not come upstairs for at least half an hour-probably longer. Or die."

And with that, Lightning headed upstairs, leaving two suitably shaken NORA members in her wake.

And later, one very satisfied Hope.
