Chapter 2: Regret

As the sun beamed through Serah's window Vanille began to wake up but instantly regretted opening her eyes and slammed them shut tight again. 'The hell why does my head feel like a whole group of behemoths are running wild, And who's surprisingly comfortable.' Trying to open her eyes once again she scanned the room and realised it was Serah's room and Vanille was wrapped around Serah being a big spoon. Cringing and attempting to wriggle her way out and not disturb Serah knowing that the other Farrons can be scary but not as scary as Serah when she got woken up.

Grinning at the success of not disturbing her she tried to piece together what happened last night. 'Think think how did I get here. Last thing I remember was Yuj buying me a few drinks because he wanted to know why I have a crush on Light. Oh Etro I hope I didn't tell him everything. I may have to suffer the wrath of Serah hopefully she will know what I did and didn't say.' Going over to Serah trying to gently shake her awake. "Hey Serah wake up I need to check something with you." She began timidly.

"Fuck off Vanille it is stupid o'clock in the morning and because of you I have to suffer one of Claire's unusual punishments." Serah said sleepily. "That is the thing what did we do last nigh-"

"WAKE UP SERAH TIME FOR YOU AND LUMINA TO GET UP AND IN THE KITCHEN! NOW!" Both girls heard Lightning yell up the stairs causing Vanille to cringe at the loud noises. "OH AND VANILLE FANG KNOWS YOU WHERE DRUNK AND SAYS YOU NOW VOLUNTER TO HELP MY SISTERS WITH THE PUNISHMENTS. NOW YOU GIRLS HAVE TWO MINUTES TILL I START TESTING FIRE ALARMS FOR SAFTY REASONS."

Fearing that the eldest Farron both Serah and Vanille grudgingly got up and started to move down the stairs to move into the kitchen like a puppy with a tail between its legs. "well look at what we have here two out of three I want here so do either of you care to tell me where… oh how did you put it last night Serah Judas? No that doesn't sound right how about Guy Fawkes? Again no it doesn't sound right does it? What did you call her?"

Faking ignorance Serah responded with "I have no idea where Lumina is she may have ditched and woke up… early… on the weeken-" Not being able to finish her sentence without laughing. She wiped a fake tear from her eye. "She probably didn't hear you or is faking being asleep to try and not go through with this."

"Well there is one solution to that." Lightning said grabbing a broom an strutted up to Lumina's room opening the door to see the young pinkette still sleeping she leaned over to the fire alarm in her room. Extended the broom and pushed the test button.

Jumping at the loud beeping noise Lumina was prepared to kill who it was but then she saw the mischievously smiling Farron. "nice to see you are joining us in the world of the awake get up now and you and the other two should be finished by nightfall or spend an extra twenty seconds in bed and get the others wanting to kill you." She said with a distinct sarcastic tone. "Wait you said two who is the second?" Lumina asked trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes to no avail.

"Oh Vanille, Fang found out and decided to volunteer her for some of my punishments. Something about how she couldn't be strict enough to enforce any punishment." Strutting out of Lumina's room Lightning walked back into the kitchen to hear the other two girls talking. Deciding it to be good to eavesdrop she started to listen in on the conversation.

"I don't know how Fang knows Vani but what I do know is you talked a bit too much to Claire and now she knows about both of our secrets." Blushing at what Serah said she said quizzically "w-w-which ones?" Serah rolled her eyes "oh none of the big ones you know my breakup with Snow. Something about us drinking when she is working late. There was one other one what was it…?" Serah said rhetorically.

"Oh yeah and you said how you had a crush on her." Serah said triumphantly answering her own rhetorical question. Stunned Vanille cursed under her breath. 'Please oh mighty Etro or Bhunivelze or Pulse or Lindzei please can any or all of you tell me she is lying. Please please oh please.' Clearing her throat Vanille said with a blush now on her face matching her hair "Please say you are lying."

"Nope."

"How did she take it?" Vanille asked fearing she may hear the worst possible answer. "She didn't say much about it but knowing Claire that means one of two things. One she returns your feelings and is too stupid to know how to show them. Or two she chalked it down as just the alcohol and thinks you didn't mean any of it."

Vanille let out a sigh of relief. 'Both of those are good but how much I hope it is the former over the latter.' Lightning after hearing enough decided she should enter the room and clear her throat to let the two know she is there. "You two best have no plans because you don't leave this house or start until Lumina gets here. Oh speak of the devil." As she spoke Lumina came walking in trying to resist the urge to kill and needs coffee. She reached over to get a cup but Lightning caught her hand. "Coffee goes to those who aren't getting punished and you three are being so no ever so tasty scrumptious even coffee for any of you but I can have some."

"Come on sis don't be a bitch it is seven in the morning and you know I need coffee or I may snap and burn down a church or even an orphanage. Whichever one is closer." Lumina protested. "Well the nearest one of either of those is about ten miles that away." Lightning said gesturing to a wall. Sighing rather loudly Serah asked "so what is our 'punishment' Claire."

Lightning grinned as she took a sip of her coffee. "Glad you asked Serah. Here." She said as handing both Serah and Lumina a toothbrush. "you two will scrub every single inch of this house with those. And Vanille here." She handed Vanille a bucket of mud "before you join them you will personally be making this place a pig sty and they can't start until you are done so hurry up."

"what is stopping us from not making the place dirty and just say we are done." Lumina asked. Lightning smiled and said slyly "Simple my lovable youngest sister if Vanille does as asked I'll give her a kiss." She said looking at the girl in question. Blushing Vanille stammered "h-h-how dirty do you want it and where."

Cursing under their breath the youngest Farrons looked at each other and Lumina said "how the fuck does she know how to play people like that." Serah sighed as Vanille almost ran off to dirty the house as asked. "Too much alcohol because of Yuj and she told her that she has a crush on her and about my break up with Snow." "so kill Yuj next time I see him but that explains why she is going easy this time and gave us clean toothbrushes." She said as looking at the tooth brushes and then she realised they were theirs. Serah spoke up "Claire you know these are ours right?" hoping that it was some mistake on the older pinkette's part. "Oh yes I know and Vanille will use hers don't worry but that should teach you two not to lie." Lumina sighed watching Lightning drink coffee wanting so desperately to steal a cup but knew if she did her part would just get worse and loathing that possibility.

"And yes I am happy that Serah and that Oaf broke up so you guys get toothbrushes I originally thought a few pieces of hair would be better but then I remembered that I don't need to see that Oaf and Serah hugging and kissing so enjoy. Oh and Lumina if you attempt to steal some coffee like you are thinking I will make you wax my car to mirror finish with your bare hands and I'm sure you remember how 'fun' that was last time." Cringing at the memory of four hours of waxing and cleaning and couldn't get it right the only reason she got off of it was because Lightning forgot completely why she was being punished. "Fine but do we need to watch you drink it?" Lumina asked knowing the answer already. "You know the answer to that already." Lightning said just as Vanille came stumbling in with an empty bucket.
