I wasn't surprised to see that there was no proper conclusion to the argument about Lightning as either a Chaos warrior or a Cosmos warrior. It seemed that all of the warriors had joined in on the argument and it was utter bedlam. Limbs flew everywhere and some of the warriors looked as if they were out for blood. Lightning looked at me with confusion and shock. It seems each side wants an additional person.

Garland was getting up into the Warrior of Light's face and almost looked angry enough to bite the Warrior of Light's head off. The Emperor whacked Firion with his staff and Firion pushed the Wild Rose in his face. The Emperor then swelled up like a balloon. I forgot he was allergic to roses. Then Cloud of Darkness slapped Onion Knight. He completely lost it and slashed at her with his little blade. Cecil and Golbez argued like the siblings they were and almost strangled each other. Exdeath looked like he was having fun tormenting Bartz about his crush on Firion. Terra held her sword up to Kefka's neck and swore at him. Shame I couldn't hear her actual words... that would have been hilarious. Cloud just stood there and watched all of this unfold as Squall punched Ultimecia. Zidane slapped Kuja and then yelped when Kuja pulled his tail. Tidus and Jecht got into a wrestling match and Jecht seemed to be winning.

"Enough!" Chaos bellowed and the fights stopped. Cosmos sighed with her arms crossed.
"Fine, Lightning is your problem now." Cosmos replied and sat back down on her throne.
"Come." Chaos instructed and we were led into the lair. Lightning's eyes widened with shock. I guess she didn't expect to see a DJ booth and a dance floor in our lair. I chuckled at her shock. She turned to me for an explanation.
"Well, the war got boring after you left and we got those. Don't touch the mulch and alcohol mix in Exdeath's tent. Kefka snuck in a few swigs and Exdeath almost sent him to hell. The DJ booth is the Emperor's. He's actually really good at it. Oh, that reminds me... Exdeath gets drunk on the mulch mix every third day and treats us to a different rap every time. Yep. It was still boring without you." I replied and kissed her forehead.
"Really?" she asked somewhat hopefully.
"Of course." I replied. She chuckled a little.

Garland whooped and we knew what time it was. Party time. And this time, I wouldn't stand in the corner and watch. Not with Lightning beside me. She disappeared from my side and Jecht came over and slapped my back. He still thinks he's my friend. Well, he's back to being an acquaintance now.
"Ah, so you are with Lightning. You know, she's just another moody chick with military training." Jecht said. I looked at him and rolled my eyes.
"Soldiers have their emotions drummed out of them so they won't freeze up before killing somebody or having a nervous breakdown over the death of a random by their hands." I replied.
"Yeah, says Mr. Ruthless himself!" Jecht exclaimed. I rolled my eyes again at the ignorant athlete. He wandered off to socialise with the fellow Chaos warriors.

Lightning returned to my side and squeezed my hand. I kissed her soft lips briefly then pulled away. I really did miss the electric feeling her kisses left on my lips. I heard her giggle quietly when Garland started to dance to the Emperor's beats. I wrapped my arm around her waist. Her head lent against my shoulder.
"What's going on?" She asked.
"Party night." I replied. She looked at me with those ice blue eyes that seemed to glimmer with delight whenever I took her hand.
"Exdeath looks... crazy." Lightning commented on the tree. He picked up a mic and began to do one of his pathetic raps.

"My name is Exdeath,
I'm a tree obsessed with the Void.
I had a sister named Beth,
Who I freaking destroyed!

My girlfriend's hot,
But she's an ice queen!
Ultimecia eats her snot,
Now let me hear you scream!

What! What! What! What! Peace out!" the drunk tree exclaimed with a fist pump going. The other warriors went nuts and cheered their lungs out. Lightning laughed almost as hard as I did. My ribs started to ache as the cheering died down.
"That's was hilarious!" Lightning exclaimed with a smile on her beautiful face. Her smile is her best weapon. I always feel like she's already won the war, just by smiling.

Exdeath, Jecht and Kefka took to the floor as the Emperor gave them a bass, Kuja rattled a tambourine and Garland picked up his favourite red fiddle. The music began to play and it sounded like Irish folk music. Exdeath, Jecht and Kefka began jumping about and tapping on the floor like absolute morons. The crowd laughed, cheered and clapped with the bass as the dance continued. After they finished, the crowd went nuts and Chaos told us to get some rest.
"Hey, Lightning. Do you want to stay in my tent tonight? You know, just until yours goes up?" I asked.
"Yeah, sounds good." She replied.

She settled into her own sleeping bag and brought out her diary, which gave me an excuse to write in mine too.

Dear Diary,
I'm so glad Lightning's back. I've missed her so much. She's getting married. That really sucks... Well, at least I can spend some more time with her before the war ends and we never see each other again. Exdeath can really rap sometimes, tonight's rap was pretty hilarious. I mean, about Ultimecia and her nose picking problems... yeah, good thing to rap about. She'll kill you in the morning! Ha ha. Cloud's been off my back lately, that's good. I think he's the only Cosmos warrior without his crystal. Ha! I'm a genius. Anyways, I should be heading off to sleep. Lightning's waiting for me.
