Note: Hm.
I wrote this a while ago, because Chicago x pillowz wanted something with flashlights as the theme.

Yeah. This is kinda. Bleh.
But hopefully the crackifullness will make up for the bleh-ness!

Oh, how he hated those summer storms.
You know-the ones where the electricity goes out and the wind kicks up and it so dark you can just barely see your hand when you hold it in front of you face. And then the thunder and lightening and more dark.
And it just so happened that at that very moment, he was in the middle of one of those summer storms, with his pathological fear of thunder and lightening and darkness taking over quickly.
To make it even worse-it was eleven o' clock at night and Twilight Town's electricity decided to die. He watched in horror as the streetlights all flickered out simultaneously.
It was dark.
Thank goodness for paranoia, which caused him to carry his dark blue flashlight wherever he went.
That's right-the great Seifer Almasy was a paranoid freak who's comfort item was not a teddy bear or blanket, but a navy blue flashlight he had received on his seventh birthday. Back then-it had been okay for him to carry it around openly. Now he kept hidden, deep in his pocket, where he could hold it without people seeing him.
Paranoia kicked in as he pulled it out-what if it went out unexpectedly? He should've brought extra batteries! What if it didn't work…? He sighed in relief as the flashlight came to life, emitting a beam of light that was very much like his lifeline. If it went out…he didn't know what he would do.
Bravely, he marched forward, squinting against the harsh summer wind.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightening came from nowhere and struck his trusty flashlight.
A small electric shock went through his body, and he squealed, throwing the flashlight down hastily.
As he stared down at his blackened flashlight, he heard someone laugh sadistically.
He looked up, and there in front of him was a woman, with blonde, oddly styled hair, who had definitely not been there a few moments ago. Electricity seemed to flow from her fingertips as she brushed a stray hair aside.
Blushing furiously, he was suddenly grateful for the cover of the night-because it made his nearly glowing face less visible.
The women giggled. "Did I scare you, little boy?"
"N-no! Of course not!" he said quickly.
He swore he saw a smirk plastered on that pretty face of hers-but he couldn't be sure, because it was so dark.'
She bent down and picked up his smoldering flashlight. Holding it lightly in her slim hands, she toyed with it before speaking.
"I assume this is yours?"
"So what if it is?" he asked defiantly, his confidence slowly returning to him.
"You don't strike me as the paranoid type-but looks can be deceiving." she drawled, in an ever-so-slightly condescending tone.
"I'm not paranoid!" he exclaimed, snatching back his flashlight.
"Oh sure. Everyone goes around with flashlights in their pockets-you know, just in case." She said, winking at him before walking away.
"…The name's Seifer." he said suddenly.
"So?"
"This is the part where you tell me your name-and we exchanged numbers so we can go out to dinner sometime." he said smugly.
She smiled. "I'm sure that pick up line would've worked perfectly with any other girl. However-" A flash of lightening, and she was in front of him again. "I am not any other girl. In fact, I think I'm several years older then you. My name isn't important-but if you must know, it's Larxene." she answered, and began to walk away again. "Oh, and Seifer? I don't think dinner's going to happen."
In a flash, she was gone.
