My POV:

Deo was the first one out the door, running to find Sem. The rest of us had caught on and we followed him up to the balcony.

"Hey!" Penelo, Vaan, and I shouted. Deo had stood alongside Balthier, Fran, Jrew, and Ashe.

Vaan shouted, "What do you mean you have no magic?" Sem shrugged and turned to us.

"It is as I had said. I have no magic." he answered. Aight, I was getting irritated.

I replied, "No shit Sherlock. How did that happen?" Sem sighed and rubbed his temples.

"I concentrated all my magic into the staff. With my magic, the staff acted as a permanent Paling and now will stay in the room, floating. All my magic is now in that staff." I gaped at him.

Jrew asked uneasily, "You'll never be able to get it back?" Sem shook his head.

"Wow…." Penelo gasped in admiration. Deo and I, on the other hand, took it the wrong way. I punched him on the head and we both turned away.

"Idiot!" we both shouted at him. Sem turned to us with a small smirk and simply walked off.

"H-hey! YOU FUCKER! YOU CAN'T LEAVE!" I exclaimed.

"Hikari!" Ashe exclaimed to me for my language.

Sem replied, "Who said I'm leaving?" as he walked out of the palace. I sighed and we all turned to Ashe.

"I suggest everyone either goes outside to help clean up the mess, or go inside the bedrooms and rest." she explained.

"We'll help!" Vaan, Jrew, Penelo, Deo, and I exclaimed.

"I have some errands to run." Basch said.

Balthier turned to Fran and they both nodded. Balthier announced, "We'll be helping out as well." We all went in our own directions, helping out the town clean up the mess. I went to the nearest stores and immediately started putting out the fires with simple Water spells. After I was done putting out most of the fires, I had begun to help with the cleaning. I went into the nearest store, got a broom, and began sweeping. I helped place things back in order, but as I was doing that, I found a little girl crying to her older brother.

"Big Brother! I want my dolly back!" I heard the girl exclaim desperately to her mom. I looked at the girl with sadness as I began to look for a doll. I found one lying in a corner in a pile of stuff, so I quickly took it out and ran to the girl. I kneeled down in front of her and held out the doll to her.

"Is this your doll?" I asked her nicely.

"Dolly!" she shrieked with happiness as she took it from me and embraced it tightly.

"Thank you." the brother told me softly with a smile. I nodded and smiled back, tears threatening to fill my eyes.

I replied, "It's no problem." I stood back up and walked to another store, helping it out as well.

"That lady was so nice!" I heard the girl who lost her doll shout happily. The older brother chuckled.

"I know." he replied. That touched my heart as a few tears escaped my eyes. *Oniichan….* After helping out the best I could without fainting from exhaustion, I made my way back to the palace and eventually met up with the others inside. We decided to go in our bedrooms and rest. Fran, Penelo, Deo, and I had all laid down on our beds once we got to them.

Penelo and I shouted, "I'm tired!" After resting for a bit, we all woke up and showered. Fran suggested we buy more supplies, so we did just that. Although, after walking downstairs to meet with everyone else, Basch told us he had something to say.

"What is it Ba-Gabranth?" I quickly corrected as some helpers in the house passed by. Basch cleared his throat as we sat down on some couches.

Basch announced, "I had just received a message from 'Judge Ffamran'….." I let out an inaudible noise, and the others leaned forward in anticipation. "He said in 2 days they will be at the Nam-Yensa Sandsea at around 3 in the afternoon for some business matters in some secret hideout. We will infiltrate that place and destroy Vossler once and for all." Basch finished off with confidence. Penelo and I cheered with enthusiasm, as did Vaan.

"We shall just buy some more supplies tomorrow." Fran suggested.

"Before we all sleep, since it's rather very late, I'd just like to say you all did great in protecting the city." Larsa complimented us, randomly popping in.

"Hey Lars!" I exclaimed happily as I hugged him tightly. I let him go and we all talked for a bit, before going into our separate rooms and heading back to sleep. As I climbed into my bed, a sudden wave of realization hit me as I gasped. *Sem's not here. Where'd he go?*

Deo asked, "Something wrong?" I shook my head with a small smile.

"Nothing." I replied. "Let's just sleep. I'm beat! And I already slept!" I continued on as I yawned and stretched. I snuggled under my blankets, trying to sleep. After what felt like an hour, I quietly got up and rubbed my eyes tiredly. I looked around at the other girls to see them asleep. I quietly got out of bed and put my shoes on, then quietly opened the door, but it made an ever so slight noise. I saw Fran's ears shoot up and her head instantly turned to the door. She saw it was me and I put a finger up to my lips. She nodded and went back to sleep. I hurriedly got out of the room and sighed with relief as I walked along the hall. I went up to the balcony and breathed in some fresh air.

"Sure is nice out here huh?" I heard from behind me. I let out a gasp and swiftly turned around. I saw Vaan looking at me with warm eyes and a smile. I giggled and nodded.

"How'd you know I was here?" I questioned Vaan as he walked over to me and rested his arms against the balcony.

"I don't know. Felt like going up here too I guess." he answered. I smiled at him and looked towards the dark night sky. We had a few moments of silence, until Vaan started chuckling. I looked back at him curiously.

I inquired, "What's up?" Vaan chuckled again.

"Nothing. Just thinking." he answered. I kept looking at him in confusion. "Wondering what our children will look like." I gaped at him, but then giggled shortly after.

"Aren't I supposed to be the one thinking that?" I told him as I playfully shoved him. He chuckled and embraced me tightly, burying my face in his chest. I let out a noise and giggled as I struggled against him. He kissed the top of my head, then released me as we both looked into each other's eyes.

"Have I ever told you I love you?" Vaan asked me. I laughed.

"Only like a thousand times."

"Make it a thousand and one." Vaan leaned towards me and pecked me on the lips. "I love you." I kissed him back full on the lips. After I let go, I smiled.

"I love you too." I yawned after I said that. "Now let's go inside. We both need some sleep." Vaan walked me back to my room with the girls and he kissed me goodnight. I opened the door quietly and went back to sleep before any of the girls noticed I woke up.
