A/N: This is the Sebusai only tale for Halloween, although Fang, Lightning and Rosa (Final Fantasy IV series) are all mentioned here. In case you're wondering, this takes place five years after the ending of the epilogue from "Out of the Darkness, Into the Light" tale, since Sice and Seven are grown up here. Enjoy!

Sice, Seven and Pumpkin Pie

"Sice...sweetie...do you want to go out for dinner tonight...?" Seven asks her girlfriend of five years when she saw that the table in their kitchen was set up in the theme of Halloween, something that is very Sice as the white haired woman LOVES Halloween - yet the food was a blend of both of their favourite foods. It was shortly after they graduated from their respective university that the couple moved out of the Yun-Farron household and bought a home of their own, with some financial help from Rosa, as her health was getting worse from an unknown illness, despite the fact that she is still alive. They had their housewarming party a month before Seven's birthday, as most of their furniture came from Fang's pocketbook as the Oerban native insisted to get what she could for them (since the money Fang spent was from her career in movies and gardening), and the house is now fully furnished to their liking. The couple still talk to Lightning and Fang on occasion, but were happy to have a home of their own for a change even though they loved Fang and Lightning beyond death for what they did for the couple.

"Let's have some dinner at home, Sevsky...and I insist if you're asking...please?" Sice replied with a question and a smile on her face, leading the silver haired woman to the table that Sice went all out to create the ideal Halloween setting for, but kept it romantic. After a short time thinking about Sice's request, Seven took off her work shoes and joined her girlfriend at the dinner table, since the aroma of the food and mango passion fruit juice took over her senses. She could never, ever resist Sice's home cooking, even though Seven's job as an animal caretaker to help get her into medical school so that she can become a vet one day is, oddly enough, across the street from where Sice works as a chef and owner of a very popular restaurant just outside Bodhum-Oerba. Seeing this action from Seven made Sice the happiest woman on the planet at the moment, as the white haired woman was messing with a small box in her jacket pocket since Seven came home from work and knew that the silver haired woman had her classes in grad school the next day and Sice did not want Seven to miss a single class in grad school.

Seven couldn't stop staring at the food - or at Sice - throughout their meal. The silver haired woman was at a loss for words at how well her girlfriend did everything for them, it made her the luckiest woman on the planet to be with a woman like Sice. "Thank you for all of this, Sice. This means the world to me that you would do all of this for someone like me..." Seven began, but her eyes got watery, prompting Sice to take a handkerchief so that she can wipe Seven's tears away as the white haired woman disliked seeing Seven cry for any reason, good or bad.

After finishing their meal in comfortable silence - save for the quick glances at sincere smiles at each other, Seven excused herself to the living room so that she can find start the DVD player so that they can watch a scary movie together - while Sice took the box that was in her jacket pocket and placed it on top of the pumpkin pie she made from scratch. The white haired woman wanted Seven to marry her, and this was the right moment for her to pop the question to Seven after pondering on the thought for the three months since she bought the ring she drew up herself.

"Seven, do you have the movie ready to go?" Sice asked, although she knew the answer to that question when she saw the remote at her part on the couch. While Sice was getting the box to fit onto the top of the homemade pumpkin pie, she also had a bowl of popcorn made for the two of them to enjoy while watching whatever scary movie the silver haired woman picked for them to watch together. Seven made sure to have their blanket ready for a night of cuddling while watching the movie *and to keep them warm) - at least that's what Seven is thinking at the very moment.

As the couple watched the scary movie and eating the popcorn that the white haired woman made for them both, Seven clung onto Sice when someone was getting killed via a gory and bloody method underneath the blanket, which Sice did a similar gesture to Seven in return when someone screamed as they died in the film. "Seven made a great movie choice for us to watch...I'm glad that I'll soon ask her to marry me..." Sice thought to herself as she was looking at her long time girlfriend, whose head rested on her shoulder and about to fall asleep. For the rest of the movie, the couple watched it in comfortable silence, save for a few times of Seven and Sice clinging onto each other.

Once the movie ended, Sice had to wake Seven up, which was surprisingly hard to do. "Sevsky...wake up sleepy head...time for my pumpkin pie!" Sice loudly announced, doing the trick in waking Seven up from her movie nap. After a few moments to rub her eyes, Seven gets herself off the couch and is taken aback when she sees a small black box sitting on top of Sice's homemade pumpkin pie. "Sice...baby...is this..." Seven starts to say, but doesn't finish as she starts crying again. Seeing this prompts Sice to finally take action, by leading Seven back into the dining room where the pumpkin pie is at. The white haired woman takes the box off the pie and drops down to one knee and opens the box with a ring inside of it.

"Seven...my one and only...I-I-I...uh...fuck! Damn! I wish I can say something...but damn it to Etro, I can't..." Sice begins but pauses, trying to find the right words to continue what she wanted to say.

"Sice...Yes. I'll marry you..." Seven replies, answer what Sice is going to ask her.

"Yes? You'll marry me?"

"You better believe it. I'll marry you." Seven finishes, prompting Sice to get up so that they can laugh, cry and hug each other at the same. When Sice put the ring on Seven's finger, she was smiling even more, knowing that the ring was the perfect size and she now has the woman who will one day be her wife. "My fiancée..." the white haired quietly says as she is staring at the ring she drew for her new fiancée, happy that the silver haired woman said yes.

"Sice...you got that right...my fiancée..." Seven returned the gesture, knowing that she will soon marry Sice: the woman of her dreams, her oldest and best friend.

The newly engaged couple spread the news to those who are closest to them as soon as they could: Lightning and Rosa knew that they were going to get engaged, while Fang was crying happy tears, for she knew that she made the best decision by taking the couple in when she did with Lightning.

For Seven and Sice, they can say to everyone that they got engaged over some homemade pumpkin pie.
