CHAPTER 10: WRONG TIMING AND A SPECIAL DAY

" Light! Are you ready?" Vanille knocked on Lightning's door three times. Nobody answered. " Light! Hurry Fang is waiting!"

" What are you doing?" Out of nowhere Lightning popped up behind Vanille. She had a questionable look in her slender face with a bit of rage caught inside her eyes.

Pretending to keep cool, Vanille faked a smile and tapped on Lightning's shoulder.

" There you are silly! What are you doing? Fang is waiting out in the car for you." Vanille swiftly pulled Lightning down the stairs one by one, but Lightning was too strong for her to keep at it. " Aww…come on LIGHT! We had planned this for you for a long time!"

Quickly Lightning slipped herself out of Vanille's grip and began heading towards her room. Vanille ran after her but only got slammed by the door. Holding her face in pain Vanille knocked on Lightning's door a second time.

" Light! You have to go! Last year we let you off already! You also promised that you would agree to anything we say this year!"

Finally after a minute or so, Lightning opened up her door with different clothes on and her hair up into a ponytail. She looked at Vanille with annoyance, but when she saw Vanille holding her face, Light felt a pain of guilt.

"Oh…so you are going then?" asked Vanille.

" Yeah, and sorry Vanille about the door right? I didn't know you were going to come after me. Oh well next time be more careful and don't bother me like that or I will slam it even harder next time."

Lightning walked swiftly around Vanille and gone out the door. Vanille stood there happily and smiled. " Aww she cared for me…even though you don't admit it, I know I'm one of your best friends!" Without notice, Vanille noticed blood on her hands. " Blood?" At first Vanille didn't know where it came from but she felt liquid slowly descending out of her nose. She poke a finger in and found more blood. "AAAHH!"

As quick as he can Hope ran towards Vanille, although he had an apron on, and asked her what the matter.

"Look at this!" Vanille stretched her shirt towards Hope.

"Oh my gosh! You're bleeding!" Hope grabbed a piece of cloth in his apron and started wiping the blood off of Vanille.

"No! Not that! Look at this! I got blood on my new shirt that cost $102! I had to beg Fang to get me this shirt! Now it's ruined!" Just like that, Vanille broke into tears with Hope standing in the sidelines looking confused.

"Oh…umm…okay, so let's get you cleaned up first. I can't stand that blood on your face." Hope directed Vanille towards the bathroom and closed the door. He headed back to the kitchen to resume his cooking. A smile played on his delicate face while his hands were rolling a piece of dough. "This year I'm gonna make something special just for your birthday Light."

Noctis-

Inside Noctis' bedroom, Noctis and Stella were getting ready to go to the day spa in town. Since tomorrow he was going to leave for the mission, he decided he needed some relaxation before the big event. Stella looked at him with her glistening purple eyes and poked Noctis on the side. He jerked sideways and gave a soft laugh.

" Noctis, are you ready?" asked Stella.
"Yeah, almost ready. Do you have all of your things ready?" replied Noctis.

"Yes I do, now hurry because I don't want to miss this evening together with you. Since you are going to leave me alone again tomorrow."

Noctis felt a pang of guilt in his heart, but he smiled as if he was the happiest man alive. "I won't be gone long. It's going to be a couple of hours or so only. It won't take a week like last time." Noctis embraced Stella in his muscular arms and sighed heavely.

"You promise me right? You will come back to me no matter what? Right after the mission?" Stella looked into his crimson eyes and gave him a small peck on the lips. "Even if you meet someone from your past, you will come back to me no matter what right?"

Noctis' face hardened but not enough for Stella to tell what he was feeling inside. Carefully Noctis took hold of Stella's arms and looked her straight in the eyes. "I promise I will come back to you Stella. I promise."

" Thankyou," Stella gave Noctis a deeper kiss but broke it off. "It's time for us to go now. Come on."

Both of them got out of the room and headed for the doors. Stella's heart was relieved and happy, while Noctis' heart was feeling a mix of feelings. As they drove down town into the spa, Noctis played the same questions in his head over and over again. What would happen to Stella if he did not chose her? What will happen to Lightning if he chose Stella instead? Does he love his fiancé more than his first love? How will this effect him and those around him?

Lightning—

Lightning walked out the doors and got into their mini black car. She sat in and wore her seatbelt the way everyone should and stared out straight into the black abyss. Fang turned around and smirked at her partner.

" Finally girly, you know you might just make us late." Fang turned her head the other direction again and stared through the window.

Lightning didn't response; she only tensed up but relax again. Then she decided to speak. "Fang…"

" Yeah.." answered Fang.

" Where are we going?"

Fang gave a laugh and crossed her legs with her hands on her lap. "Just somewhere girly, you'll see."

Lightning sighed and decided to not make a big deal out of this. Today was a special occasion because it is her birthday. She was lucky to opt out on the special birthday surprise last year, which was so overly done that she would've slaughtered everyone in the room, but this year she had promised them that she would agree to this year's surprise all because if Sarah's weeping.

Calmly driving into town, no spoke a word. Fang fell a sleep on the way while Lightning was standing alert in case anything unusual happened, and lately there has been very unusual events occurring in her life. Just thinking back at the memories made Lightning angry and also feel down. How could she have done that or what the heck was going on? Suddenly the car stopped and Fang woke up. Lightning looked up at the building and her eyes widened. Fang got out of the car, primming herself at the car window, and then swiftly pulled Lightning into the building before she could say anything.

Walking stubbornly down the hall, Lightning was furious. Fang; however, was the opposite. Fang was over joy and excited for their little trip.

" Fang…" Lightning whispered coldly.

" Yeah?" Fang answered.

" Are we going to get a spa treatment just before the mission? I don't think so."

Fang whirled around and looked Lightning straight in the eyes with her deep blue ones. "Yes Lightning, relaxing before a mission will help you for tomorrow! Trust me…"

" Yes it works for you but not for me!" Lightning paced back and forth in the lobby.

"Oh come on! Today's your birthday to! Don't get so worked up, and just relax."

Fang paid for both and they began heading for the rooms. At the entrance entered a familiar face. Noctis and Stella went to the counter and paid the fee.

"Umm…excuse me? Could we get one with mixed gender? Alone?" asked Stella.

The cashier looked at her and back at Noctis. "Nope I'm sorry…the is only one open spa room that isn't full. You both can go into that one and share. I think there's only two people in it and don't worry, Tonight's bikini night anyways."

Stella was a bit disappointed and wanted to go home, but Noctis felt like he really needed some relaxing; he convinced Stella and they went their separate ways into the changing rooms.

In the women changing room, Fang had on her baby blue bikini and was looking at her sexy muscular body while Lightning wrapped herself up with her towel. Lightning was wearing a white bikini that outlined her bust and butt. Fang turned toward Lightning and gave an encouraging smile.

"Hey girly you look sexy! Comeon let's get out their." Fang tugged impatiently on Lightning's towel. Giving Fang the look Lightning slowly stood up.

"Are you sure it's only going to be the two of us in their?" Lightning questioned.

Fang grabbed Lightning's shoulder and tugged her toward the door. "Yes I'm positive! Either way the cashier said that no many people come to the spa this day of the week."

"Some people? Fang that means there still could be people that come!"

"Oh please just shut up and let's go."

Just when Fang and Lightning had gotten out of the changing room, Stella came in. She looked on the benches and saw some bags.

" Great, girls." Rolling her eyes annoyed, Stella quickly put on her lavender bikini and headed out. When she walked by a girl's bag, she saw the initials E.F. She took a closer look but worried that Noctis was going to be stuck with two uncivilized girls, she headed out.

In the men's room, Noctis began changing into his shorts. Looking around the room, there was no sign of other men in the room. Thinking loudly to himself, the other two people are probably girls. He gave a slight chuckle just thinking about Stella's reaction. Worried about Stella, Noctis walked out the door.

-in the spa-

Lightning took a seat in the corner and laid her head on the pavement. Fang was scrubbing herself carefully and slowly. Then there was the sound of footsteps heading their way. Lightning jerked up and sat up straight wondering who it was. Fang just let it go.

"It's nobody, just relax." Assured Fang.

Suddenly they saw a figure of a man walking towards them. Lightning quickly recognized him.

"The jerk!" Lightning whispered.

"The what?" Fang was confused and surprised when Lightning swiftly took her hand and jerked her out of the spa.

"What the heck is wrong with you!" Fang scolded.

"Let's go, time to go." Lightning answered coldly.

"Why?" They both ran into a girl with blonde hair and purple eyes. She fell to the ground but Lightning kept going ignoring the girl.

Stella stood up with her face all red. She turned to the girls and shouted, " Well excuse me!"

Fang also turned around and shouted, "Sorry!" by then, Lightning and Fang gathered their things the room and went out.

"Hmph…so uncivilized! Who do they think they are!" Stella swore under her breathe.

"Who do they think they are?" Stella turned around and saw Noctis. She shook off the incident that just happened and smiled at Noctis and his amazing body.

"Oh, nothing…just the two girls who was going th share the spa with us. I guess they left?"

"Oh really? I guess we have this to ourselves then." Stella gave a small laugh that made Noctis feel all warm inside. He took her hand and dragged into the spa together.

Noctis sat down with Stella sitting ontop of his lap. At first they were helping eachother wash until Stella began the kiss. The kiss began slowly but within a second they both were sticking their tongues down eachother's throat. Out of breathe Noctis breaks the kiss away.

"You're a good kisser do you know that?" he said smiling widely.

" I know, did you know you are too?" Stella answered back.

They began kissing again snagging eachother's lips when they were torn apart by either of them. Stella groped Noctis' back while he did the same. Noctis was being careful about where he touched but Stella wanted something more. Her hands slowly descended towards Noctis' shorts but she he stopped her. Feeling somewhat mad, Stella went off of Noctis and pouted. Noctis felt a bit bad, but he wasn't ready.

"Stella," said Noctis gently.

Stella didn't look at him and tears began falling.

"Stella…" this time he wasn't as gentle. " Stella look at-"

"Noctis why! We are going to be married soon and you still can't…why can't you just…aww..god Noctis! You're driving me insane!" Stella got out of the spa. "Let's go home…I'm not in the mood to do this kinda crap." Just like that, Stella walked out.

Noctis threw his hand onto his face. " Great Noctis, you wanted to relax but you got turned on and now you've just made your fiancee cry. What a man." Noctis also got out and met Stella in the lobby.

Without a word, they both got into their car and left.

"Okay! We are out! Now tell me what the fuck was wrong that made you drag me all the way out!" Fang was clearly pissed, but so was Lightning, but Lightning felt bad cause she knew how much Fang wanted this.

"Fang, I'm sorry…" Lightning apologized and got into the car.

Fang looked sad but she never really saw this side of Lightning ever since they met. Something must have been really bothering her to make her do that. Also getting into the car, Fang tapped Lightning's shoulder. " It's okay girly, you don't have to tell me, but I do want and explanation okay?"

Looking out the window, Lightning closed her eyes and drifted away. Tomorrow's the mission…

When they both got home, Lightning and Fang got prepared for the mission tomorrow. Everyone was gathered and trying to help them both pack up.

" Got everything ready girly?" said Fang.

" Yeah," was all Light answered back. She headed towards her bedroom and laid down, but all of a sudden, black shrowded her eyes and Lightning was pulled into the black abyss.
