Lightning returned to her home which Cid and she were sharing. The woman gave a huge sigh as she walked into the living room to see her fiance watching a boring show on history, which she had no interest in.
"Welcome home" he said in a monotone voice before standing then walking over to wrap his arms around her in a breif hug
The pink haired woman gave a grunt and gently pushed him away "Sorry,but right now i just need some space." he nodded understanding how the woman was sometimes
Lightning went into her room and sat on her bed with what she felt was the thousanth sigh, looking to her nightstand where she saw a picture of her and Cid who was smiling while she had her regular soilder face on.
'How did we even get to this point with the way we both are?' she asked herself before thinking on it

"Your time was horrible! There was so many flaws in your defense that a puppy could have licked you on the ankle with time to spare." Lightning said as she looked at their time of four minutes and thirty-three seconds with disgust before walking into the little area where a team of recruits were training and pointed at the leader of the group.
"When you give a command to your squad, do not hesitate. That hesitation could lose the culprit, or worse... get you killed."
She then turned her icy glare to another teammate "You... would have caused the whole team to die with your stupidity. You did not look where you were going, observe your surroundings, cover a teammate when they were going into position, or follow orders. You were practically a pack mule, so when you died they would have just taken ammo from your body and moved on!"
She then turned to the last teammate "You did everything right private..." the man beamed a smile before he heard "But you could have easily been detected. You smell like you jumped in a tub filled with animals and their droppings. Take care of your hygiene!"
The woman gave a sigh "That is all for today,we will try again tomorrow"
One of the men scowled "Like she could do it better" he said in a tone that wasnt too subtile
This made Lightning smirk and turn. She walked up and handed one of them the timer "Time me"
She stood with her arms folded walking to the starting line "Go!" when the man said this he smirked since she had not moved the first few seconds,but when he blinked she was gone. He only heard silent slashes and a few shots go off before she was at the finish line which made him press the button
"Dude~" him and his team looked at the time in disbelief "F-Fifty-seven seconds"
"Damn, caught me on a bad day, or it could be because i stood like pack mule here" she took the timer "Dismissed, and remember hygiene" she said walking off waving a hand.
"Yes, ma'am! "
After training the recruits, Lightning practically begged for an assignment to go on, only there was none, so that put her in a funk. Fang wasnt there to talk to because of Vanille had gotten sick. This thought made the woman boil. She was walking aorund to see there was nothing to do, she didnt want to go into the lounge room because the people would only serve to make her pissed with all the noise they made. So here she was outside in her new lunch spot.
"Ugh, what to do with myself" she asked thin air before looking up at the authentic sky.
"Do you mind if i sit?" as she heard this question she only sighed and gave a motion with her hand that said it was ok "Thanks, i couldnt find the lounge room and this seemed like a nice spot"
Lightning didnt feel like talking, so she wanted to let this person know that by looking at them as if they were the dumbest thing on Cocoon. Only when she looked down she almost had a heartattack before nearly giving a pout.
"You must be new, sorry i thought you were my partner at first glance" she said silently cursing herself for almost getting giddy like a highschool girl over the thought of seeing Fang.
The man gave a smile "It's fine, I'm Cid Raines from another base across Cocoon." he held his hand out for a handshake only to recieve a nod.
"So, what brings you here?" she asked half distracted since she saw Fang's car pull up. Obviously the man didnt notice so he continued on answering the question as Lightning blocked him out. The pink haired woman watched Fang give Vanille a goodye kiss on the cheek as the red head drove off. It only served to make her depressed while her outside shell remained stotic.
"So, i would like to get to know you more. Would you like to go out to dinner tonight?" he asked as Lightning tuned back in. The woman thought on the question before looking back at Fang who was still grinning hard from the red head and before she knew it she was nodding.
'Might as well move on' she thought this as she wrote down her number and address on a spare piece of paper she found in the depths of her pocket before giving it to him.
Fang spotted Lightning and had to hold herslef back from running. As she walked over she notice the new guy. "Hello, Sunshine. Who's your friend?" she asked sitting as close to Lightning as she could. The woman to be honest could not remember his name and was thankful when he introduced himself for her.
"Alright, nice meeting you. I best go report in." Fang stood up and Light followed in suit.
"See you later ladies" they both nodded leaving him there.
Ever since then they have been seeing each other. LIghtning realized she was just lonely and needed someone there, so she opted for the person who asked her out. Now look where it got her, a day or so away from marriage.
Yep, your screwed
'SHUT UP, DAMMIT!'
Whoa, no need to be rude...sheesh
On that note she went to take a bath and got dressed for bed, laying down only to feel arms wrap around her waist, and turned to see a naked Cid.
'AHHHHHHHHH!' she yelled in her head, controlling herself from letting that thought come out of her mouth, and gently patted him on the cheek and rolled over for sleep.
(Man omega diss huh lol)
Fang sat with a permanant look of determination on her face. The wedding was the day after tommorow. She didnt want to let her goddess marry that, that DOUCHE. Yeah, he was a nice guy, but to her, he was a douche for taking her goddess.
Vanille noticed her adopted sister in a thinking pose while she was sitting on the end of the bed looking out of the window. She walked over and gently touched the woman's shoulder.
"Vanille" she gave a sigh looking at the clock "Why are you still up? It's late"
"Because two minds are better than one when thinking of a plan"
Fang chuckled before a thought hit her "Vanille... Why?"
"Hm?" the girl gave a look of confusion
"Why did you let me go so easy?" she asked with a serious gaze
The smaller woman chuckled "The day I brought you lunch, I peaked in to look around, and I saw how you looked with Light. You looked like a kid, you both looked so relaxed around each other. I knew there was something there, but I just didnt want to admit it. Then you began to come home looking so depressed, and I knew the reason why, but I wanted to hear it from you." she wrapped her arms around the taller woman before she continued "I want you to be happy for once, Fang. I dont want you to obligate yourself to me just because i'm your sister. Ok?"
Fang gave a smile and hugged the smaller woman to herself "Thank you, Vanille." they sat for a small while before the tall woman got a mechevious look "So, you have a thing for Sarah, huh? How long?"
Vanille blushed a deep crimson "Ok, lets think of something, so you can get Lightning, yes?"
"Right!" the two sat for a while, only to have no luck
"This is harder than i thought it would be." Vanille said "Thinking this hard made my head hurt." she then nudged Fang to hear a snore "Fang!" The woman jumped up "How are you thinking, when your a sleep"
"Um, because im dreaming, duh" she smirked to see a angry face from Vanille "Don't worry, Vanille. I have a plan"
"Oh, you do?" the red head asked excited "Tell me!"
"The plan is..." she held it for suspense
Vanille grabbed the taller woman and shook her to get a laugh "Tell me, now!"
"The plan is, no plan at all. It's best to wing it, ey?" she then grinned to have the shorter woman shake her head at her.
"I get a bad feeling everytime you wing it with something, Fang" the red head repiled
The tall woman then grinned "But i always get out of it, don't I?"
"True" Vanille said as she laid down for sleep
