Chapter 3

Monday,August 22

5:28 a.m.

Lightning awoken early, again, as usual. The sun wasn't even awake. She looked out the window before she stood from her bed and looked at her "dorm buddy". Fang was flayed across her bed which had a pile of different pelts and furs. Lightning noticed something odd. She stepped closer to get a clearer look. Fang was naked. Lightning quickly about-faced as her face started to match her hair color. Before her alarm started to scream at her again, she unplugged it and went to take a shower.

When she enter the bathroom, it was a mess. There was clothes everywhere and water all over the floor. She picked up some underwear that surely wasn't hers and clearly was to small to be Fang's. Looks like we are going to have to come up with some house rules. Light thought to herself. She picked up all the clothes that belonged to the naked girl she threw out last night, and threw them in a trash bag. All of Fang's clothes she picked up and went back to the room.

Fang was flipped a different direction and now was laying on her back. Her dark, hard nipple was broadcasting to the world, or just Light, that it was cold. Lightning tossed the clothes to Fang's dirty side of the room. Not to wake her roommate, Light quietly stomped to finally take her shower. Lightning turned the hot water on and began to strip. She looked at the mirror as it began to fog. The steam rose and spilled through her nose and enveloped her entire body. She felt herself becoming lighter. She tried to shake herself awake but she was paralyzed. Everything was becoming black.

Lighting Alternate Reality

"Dammit. This is the third day now." She stood in her emptiness again. All alone and left with her thoughts. She looked at her hand, at the red string tied around her pinky. It was blinking very slowly, with its faint glow. "What's your point?" Lightning is not stupid. She could figure out anything. If her 4.5 gpa didn't say much about her, then her family history could. Her father was the lead detective for the Cocoon Special Forces. Her grandfather worked for Cocoon Space Association. And her great-grandfather helped build Cocoon. You could say Light took after the men in her family. Somebody had to. Serah took after the women. Light began to walk. She couldn't stay idle for long. Then she realized that she was naked. "Why can't I just think of some clothes and they appear?" That was another thing she wished she could figure out and hoped that one day she will. Every time she entered this dimension she is stuck wearing whatever she had on. And in this case that was nothing. She didn't mind being naked. Your born this way. But her mind started to wander to Fang. How she sloppily slept in her cocoon of fur. And naked at that, didn't itch? Her wild hair splayed down her perfectly toned back. Light felt her body heat up. "I have got to get out of here". But she couldn't think about leaving. It made it that much longer till she joined reality.

Back to Reality

As Light began to slowly drift back to Earth. She heard heavy knocking on the bathroom dorm. "Lightning. Umm are you ok in there?" She heard fang speak through the door. Light could hear her but couldn't respond, she couldn't move. She wasn't fully back in her body. She could feel Fang get worried. "What the hell?" She thought to herself. Fang broke the door open. Not fully just a good push of the doorknob and it just opened. Fang ran over and shut the water off. The room was full of steam. Good thing the dorms didn't have fire alarms.

"Hey Light?" Lightning looked at her with an innocent face. Then it changed quickly to her award winning icy glare. "What are doing in here?" Lightning stormed out and began getting dressed in her uniform. Royal blue/white plaided pants, white button up shirt with blue vest, and a blue tie. Girls had a choice of either skirt or pants. Lighting went with the latter.

"Do'ya know how long you were in there? Babe I love long showers too but I thought'ya had drowned."

"Don't call me that. What are you talking about?" Lighting looked at her alarm clock but it was unplugged. She tilted her head up and looked at the clock on the wall.

7:55am

"Crap we are going to be late. Class starts at 8:30, and it's a 30 min jog just to breakfast." She looked at Fang who was already dress, but was having trouble with her tie. She chose a skirt. Really? Light had thought to herself. The skirt showed off muscular thighs and defined calves. "Good thing I took a shower last night. Etro's Ass!" Fang was getting more and more frustrated with the tie. "Hey roomie, could I bother you for a sec?" Fang asked as she rubbed the back of her head.

Lightning was halfway out the door but she glided over and tried to avoid eye contact. "Have your hair always been this color?" Fang asked. Fang got a giant whiff of, "Strawberries. That's my favorite fruit." She smirked. Lightning pushed her back and left the room. She can find her own home room. She stormed out the building. To make it on time, she skipped breakfast and jogged to home room. She wasn't the first to arrive but she wasn't the last walked to her usually seat in the back by the window. She could hear the murmurs and giggles and ignored them.

The bell rang and everyone scattered to their seats as Professor Sazh walked in. He was a middle aged man still trying to rock the Afro. "Morning children. I hope you all had a pleasant summer." It was 30 min. into class, English, when Fang decided to strut in. You could hear the fang girl club forming in the eyes of the horny."Sorry uh Sazh right? I got lost" Sazh told her it was ok and not let it happen again. Light looked to her right and there was an empty seat. There was no point in praying to Etro's Mother.

"Looks like Lady Luck's on my side." Fang whispered to Light. "Seems like we are going to be spending more time with each other." Lightning ignored her wink. Fang leaned over to whisper directly into Light's ear, "about that mark on your tit.."

"Not. Another. Word." Lightning spoked through gritted teeth"

Lightning tried really hard to pay attention to class, even though she didn't need to. It was just the formalities, the rules, and some papers to sign. But it was just something to keep her mind off of the Pulsian next to her. On the outside, it looked like she wasn't bothered by anything, but on the inside she was suffocating. She felt like Fang was purposely making her uncomfortable.

Class was almost over and she looked at Fang. Fang had her arms crossed on the desk with her head rested on top, fast asleep. She looked so innocent. Like someone could just come and kidnap her. Light fought the urge to move a fired tipped strand of hair out of her face. The bell rang and woke up Fang. Lightning had already left for her second class of the day.

12pm

Lightning sat in the cafeteria with Serah and Lebreu.

"How was your day so far?" Lebreu asked.

"Exciting. Me and Vanille have almost every class together."

"Speaking of her. Does she have this lunch also?" Light asked.

"Yeah. She's bringing her sis to introduce to us." Serah was exited.

Serah always made friends fast and she kept them. Light could sense that this was going to be a life long friend. Vanille skipped toward the table as the girls were chatting. Serah got up and hugged her as Lightning lifted her head to see the tall Pulsian next to Vanille side. "Hey guys! This is my sister Fang." Light glared. Fang said hey to everybody and looked at Serah.

"Whoa! there's two beauties with the same hair color" She went to sniff Serah's hair. "Aww but yours doesn't smell like strawberries like your big sis."

"How do you know that?" Serah was confused.

"Hey roomie!"

"I have to go to class. I'm late" Lightning left.

"but lunch just started..." Lebreu said to deaf ears.

4pm

The rest of the day went smoothly. She didn't have any other classes with Fang. And she knew for a fact that she didn't do kendou. Light was on her way to the dojo to blow off some steam. Practice didn't officially start till next week. It gave time for the new recruits to get situated with dorm life. This year Light will be leading the practices for the new recruits along side her sempai, Laura Strong. Lightning looked up to her. Laura taught her new technics and strategies her freshmen year and continued every year. Lightning wouldn't admit that she had a little crush on her.

Lighting enter the dojo and headed toward the locker rooms. She saw Laura's bags and heard the shower turn off. A tall blonde came into view wearing nothing but a pure white towel. Her hair dripped down her back. Wet feet padded against the cold concrete toward her. "Sorry Laura-sempai. I didn't notice you were here" Light bowed and didn't look up. "Drop the formalities Light." She said with a smile, " we may be in the dojo but practice haven't officially started." Laura had a strong british accent. Lightning was stuck without an excuse for using such pronouns. "Okay...Laura." It sounded weird coming off her tongue. Laura came over and hugged her. "Hey beautiful. I hope you had a decent summer. We didn't train together but once or twice this summer." Water dripped off her hair and onto Light's shoulder.

"Larry took us all out of town for most of it. Is Sensei here?" Laura gave her a funny look. "I mean...Amodar"

"See that wasn't so hard. He exited the premises a little while ago."

As they chatted, Laura started to get dressed. She switched to skirt this year. I wonder why. Light would never bring herself to ask her so she faced her locker pretending to be busy. She tidy her gear appropriately and was listening to Laura talk about her little brother, who was now entering middle school this year. Her parents are doing well and her cat has people allergies. Light chuckled at this. Laura had some friends come over and Sir Alex started to sneeze. So she took him to the vet and found out that he was allergic to the cologne one of her guy friends was wearing.

Light's heart started to hurt at this "guy friend". She froze and didn't notice Laura was directly behind her. Laura wrapped her arms around Light's waist and pulled her against her chest. Laura took a whiff, "Mmm strawberries. I like strawberries." She whispered into her ear. Lightning held in a moan. Laura's hands rubbed up and down Light's toned arms. "You've really worked out this summer. No family time during that family trip eh." Laura twisted Lightning around to face her. Vibrant green eyes met her icy blue. It reminded her of somebody. Fang.

Lightning broke her gaze and pushed her gently away. "I have to practice. Haven't wielded blazefire all summer." "All right" Laura put her hair in her usual long braided ponytail, grabbed her bags and left the locker room. Lightning watched her strut off. "Your staring again."

9pm

Lightning practiced non-stop with her real sword. It was a gift to her from her dad. it was more than a blade, it was a gun-blade. Amodar would never tell the headmaster that Light was carrying an actual gun on school property. So it had been their little secret along with Larry.

She had never let herself loose control before. Not so fast. She couldn't stop thinking about them. They had the same eyes, same height, and they almost sounded the same. Two beautiful exotic women. But she couldn't let anybody close to her. Not again. Not ever. She took a shower before leaving the dojo. Wouldn't want an episode like today to happen again, and headed for her dorm room.

Her first day wasn't so bad. Her pocket beeped. Pulling out her cellphone she noticed she missed 10 texts. 9 of them were from Serah and 1 from Lisa. She opened Lisa's first.

I hope your first day went okay. Don't forget to call in every now and again. Sweat dreams :)

Light texted back. Of course. Good night.

She skimmed through Serah's texts. It was mostly about how disappointed she felt that Claire left in that way, and how Vanille was upset even though she didnt admit it, and how she is sorry that she yelled at her through the text and if Lightning was sill going to eat lunch with them.

Lightning texted back. Don't worry. I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast.

Serah admittedly replied. You better and you better apologize.

Oh how Serah reminded Light of their mother more and more each day.

Night Serah.

Night Light :).

Lightning was in front of her dorm door hoping that she doesn't have a repeated episode of Sunday. This time she didn't forget her key. She walked into a dark room. Looked like Fang wasn't home, which also meant no naked girls. Light walked into her room to see Fang fast asleep. She placed her backpack on the desk and saw a note.

"Sorry about today. I know ya don't want to be friends but we are kinda stuck togetha. Your sis is besties with my sis. It's like we are destined to be buds. Well just think it ova. Sweet dreams sunshine ;P." Lightning scoffed at the note.

Don't hold your breath.
