Now, let me get this straight. Eh, wait. I'm not sure if this counts as straight but enough of that anyway. We all know Ignis is the best cook around, probably the nicest guy around. But when you get on Ignis's bad side life gets hard. Lifes hard. So are many other 'things.' Those things shouldn't be hard when Ignis is around, Ignis has the power to make those hard 'things' soft. And let me just say they are even worse when they're soft. Being cornered by Ignis after pissing him off, is a bad idea. Pissing off Ignis, in general, is a bad idea!

"Ignis! DONT MAKE ME EAT THAT!" That thing is going to kill me! I won't ever touch that thing! Never ever, EVER! You can't make me Ignis! I won't let you. Slowly, Ignis closed the distance between us, his arm outstretched with that awful 'thing' on a fork, slowly invading my personal space.
"No, Noct. As punishment, this is what you must do!" Ignis explained. Hey as much as I love this guy I despise him right now, no one makes me eat carrots. NO ONE! I let my hand slip into my pocket, slowly grasping what I hope is a firebomb I retracted my hand and throw it directly into Ignis's face. I didn't even bother to check what exactly I threw at him but I'm hoping that 1. It doesn't kill him. And 2. It last long enough for me to get away.
"HA YOU CANT MAKE ME EAT THAT HORRIBLE EXCUSE FOR FOOD!..." I'm not sure if the sun was reflecting against his specs or I'm seeing things. But if the sun can't cause illusion then let's just say I am going to be force feed more than just 'carrots.' And I mean that in a violent way.
"Noctis. What. Did. You. Just. Throw. At. Me?!" A growl erupted from Ignis, with the sun reflecting off his specs and the wind howling in the background. I'm not sure if I'm mentally prepared to be 6ft under. It's only a matter of time.
"A...non-explosive...firebomb...? Hahaha..." To the voice in my head, my dying words to you and everyone else.
'Gladiolus, I am going to MURDER YOU!'
"...I would prefer if you kept your private affairs, in private!"
"Hey, Igster. I'll deal with Noct first while you have a talk with Prompto." Gladiolus made his way over to where both me and Prompto 'sat'. With his head held high, he cast his eyes down on the two of us. A demonic glint in those very eyes. "I'll make sure I'll leave him alive enough for you to get a few hits in. Deal?"
If I was someone else I would be screaming for the hill. But I'm kinda in a sticky situation, both metaphorically and physically speaking.
"You have yourself a deal. Prompto, let's go."
"Ahhh! Yes-yes, coming..."
"Wait don't leave me with...him...oh shit!" I looked up to see Gladiolus was staring down at me, after a few seconds he seemed frantic. Quickly checking from his all directions, he frantically started rummaging through his jacket pockets.
"Oi, Noct. I can't believe you, finally moving aye! If you're gonna do that you'll need this." His hand emerged from his hidden pocket, the item he held in his hand was hidden from the sun. Making it harder for me to find out what exactly what it was.
"Gladio. I'm done with Prompto. I would like to have a word with Noct. Now." Ignis announced, his voice carried out throughout the woods.
"Ehehehehe... Ahhh, Gladio what is th-" A large bear-like hand, made its way over my mouth, blocking any and all sound to come out. With his other hand, the one with the object in it, he shoved whatever it was into one of my pockets.
"Good luck Tiger!" Before I could even get a word in he was off, but that wasn't the end of it.
My hand dove into the pocket where Gladio put the object, pulling it out I noticed that it was in a ball shape. Upon closer inspection, my face heated up.
"What the hell man! Why the fuck would you give me condo-" A brightening glint, cut me off. It came from where Gladio ran off too, thinking it was Gladio I stormed my way over to the bush, shoving the ball of plastic into my element pocket. Stopping at a reasonable distance I retracted my hand back and readied myself. But emerging from said direction was not Gladiolus, it was Ignis and boy, did he look pissed. Again...
"...stupidGladio..." Noct mumbled.
"Hey Noct, are you alright. You're mumbling to yoursel-" I stared at his with my head cast down, not much I could do so I looked up with my eyes.
"...stupidIgnis..."
"What did you say? I couldn't quite hear you." I asked.
"...stupidvegetables..."
"Dude, do you need me to smack some sense into you?!" Gladio shrieked. His voice ringing in my ears, my vision slowly turned hazy, as he rattled my head.
"...stupidhormones..." he continued to mumble un-comprehendible nonsense.
"Gladio stop yelling while you're doing my hair!" Random strips of hair fell out of the plait, some areas were tighter than others.
"...stupidhornydick..."
"Ohh, sorry man-"
"GAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Noct interrupted. His deafening scream echoed throughout the woods, birds scattered, flying off into the distance. Frighted from the unexpected scream, as were many other woodland creatures.
"What's with him?" I asked. I'm still not used to my voice. Whats even worse my appearance! Even my hair grew.
"He got the 'talk' from Ignis. Then he was quizzed on it and every question he got wrong, he was forced to eat a vegetable." Gladio explained, I felt his hands slowly make their way further down my scalp, having a younger sister must have given the opportunity to plait her hair. Probably against her will. He's way too overprotective.
"Oh... I feel bad for him, I was told to just be careful and if I remembered anything? That's why we didn't take that long. But thank god for that, if he gave me the talk I'll probably die of embarrassment." I explained, a small chuckle escaped my lips. Suddenly I felt Gladio'shands retracted from my head.
"Hahaha. I'm with you on that. Wait! Do you remember?! Are you still scared of us? ME?!"
"Sadly, no. I still don't remember much, but I mind being around you guys. I feel like I've known you guys for years."
"That because you have. We have always been together, even if you weren't actually with us." Gladio eyes were glaring nor were they staring me down. They were calm and inviting, making me feel, important. A soft smile completed his calm loo- "WE'RE CONNECTED!" Not so calm anymore...
"Noctis, stop sulking and help me get rid of this thing." Slowly Noct's head rose from resting on his knees. His trailed over to where Ignis stood, at his feet was none other than Naga's neglected head.
"That bitch! I'm gonna kill her!" Noct began charging at the Daemon's head, suddenly drawing his sword, aiming it, blood lust clouded his blue eyes.
"Too bad. She's already dead. Now help me with it, maybe if we permanently get rid of it, Prompto will turn back to their normal self." Ignis explained. Ignis's voice seemed to Noct out of his trance. Slowly everyone's attention was directed at me. I began repeating Ignis's words in my head, trying to pick out why the attention is on me.
'...Prompto will return to his normal self.'
"Ignis, what do you mean. Normal self. I am normal, aren't I? I asked. Everyone's eyes widen in shock, don't know why but everyone followed my gaze back to Ignis. I don't feel any different, but I do feel my memories slowly coming back. But seems as those have nothing to do with the situation at hand. But it's helping me feel less awkward around everyone.
"What do you mean, have you failed to notice that your body is now one of a female's, not male's?" Ignis questioned, everyone's eyes fell back on me, waiting for an answer, but isn't it obvious?!
"No... What do you mean male's body?" I felt my face scrunch up in confusion, I thought these people have known me for years! Then why are they questioning something this obvious?
"I've always been a girl."
It might sound weird since in the last chapter Prompto referred to himself as a dude. BUT everything (hopefully) makes sense with the next chapter so don't worry! Also, I completely forgot the Nyx died (SAD!). So he isn't dead in this fanfic (well not yet! Maybe) But that moment when he did die was just depressing!
On a side note, the reason why this is so late is a stupid one. I was stuck on writing the flashback part. I knew exactly what I wanted to write it's just that I couldn't word it probably. And that is why this chapter is so bad. This chapter is really on a filler chapter, I needed for the lead-up. Sorry, it sucks but anyway... NEXT CHAPTER!
