Moments

From this point on, it would really be best to keep reading the stories in the order as they are listed since you may be confused with some of the events, though they won't be too hard to figure out (but keep in mind that they're still just supposed to be moments between Lightning and Snow, not a single continuing story).

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the FFXIII characters, and if I did, Serah would not be Snow's fiancée! Also, since I know very little of the actual story, I apologize for any inaccuracies that exist, but it's fanfiction, so it's ok, right?


Tragedy

They had finally found it; the fal'Cie that her little sister had become a part of. And so, they thought they had finally found her, that they could finally save her.

But they were too late. By the time they had arrived, Serah had already been completely absorbed by the fal'Cie, and she could no longer be released or revived.

She was dead.

Lightning's legs went numb and she fell to her knees. Her entire world began to crumble again. She pounded the ground with her fists… And for the first time since her parents' deaths, she cried. Her salty tears flowed down her face like a storm, and she desperately screamed her name.

"Serah! Dammit, give her back! Serah, Serah…SERAH!!!" She continued crying as she hunched over with her face near the ground. It was an ironic scene that appeared as though she was praying to the fal'Cie in front of her.

All Snow could do was clench his teeth and fists, and stand next to her as she mourned. All the anger, guilt, and sadness exploded out of him in the form of one single tear that slid down his stubbled face. He slowly looked up at the fal'Cie that took her life and he whispered, "I'm so sorry, Serah…" It was the only thing that escaped his quivering lips.


Note: Really short for a "tragedy", huh? Shakespeare must be pissed at me right now.

I don't even know if this is how the crystal and fal'Cie things work, so don't shoot me if I'm totally wrong. Also, sorry for killing Serah off, it was needed for dramatic effect and for the chapters that follow.
