Chapter 12: The End

Hope cried into Lightning's motionless body. It was his fault, he didn't do anything to help her and now she was.... he couldn't believe it. She was really gone? He felt lost and alone, his heart breaking in a million pieces. His first love was a beast but he felt like she was a real person. Real then any other normal person, she wasn't like any other girl. She was strong and could take care of herself, cold and stern but actually had a kind heart, even if she hides it.

Those rare beautiful smiles that crossed her lips every once in a while. And most of all... her eyes. Those beautiful blue eyes that seemed more beautiful then all the diamonds or gems in the world. Now he was unable to see them for they closed, forever. His green eyes were filled with sorrow and tears as he cried into her fur. The animal crew looked up at the petal-less rose then to Lightning.

"Light..." Serah whispered sadly then blinked when the animals started to change.

Serah was now a beautiful girl, pinkish red hair with blue eyes similar to Lightnings but were more bright and cheerful. Snow shifted into a very tall muscular man with blonde hair and a black hat with blue eyes. Fang shifted into a beautiful warrior like woman, she looked a bit strange with her mane like black hair and those black eyes with a black tattoo on her left arm. Vanille turned into a girl with light pink hair in pigtails and had emerald green eyes. Sazh turned into a black man with a black beard and puffy hair. The group looked at each other in shock.

"We're back to normal!" yelled Snow.

"Yes!" screamed Sazh as he stretched his arms out.

Fang looked at Vanille and grinned and hugged the girl tightly. "Finally! I can kiss you properly, eh?" she chuckled as Vanille blushed but laughed.

"Very funny Fang." Vanille said with a giggle.

The group celebration soon turned into sadness as they remembered Lightning. They turned to look at their master and Hope. Lightning was still lying motionless on the ground, Hope beside her, not noticing the change in his friends. They all then blinked when the rain stopped and Lightning started to glow brightly. Hope stared in shock as the beast he knew slowly transformed.

Soon, a beautiful woman lied on the ground where the dead beast had laid. The woman slowly blinked her eyes open, which were crystal blue and looked around. She slowly sat up and put her right hand against her head. She wore some type of soldier uniform, white tunic like shirt and the same shoulder armor on her left shoulder, the red cape hanging from it. She looked similar to Serah and had light pink redish hair, a smooth face that held a blank yet confused expression. Hope stared at the gorgeous woman before him as she looked at her hands then glanced at him.

".....I'm... normal?" Lightning questioned herself. Curling her fingers into fists, testing the body.

Hope continued to stare dumbly at her then flinched when she turned her crystal blue eyes to him.

"Hope.... It's me." Lightning said, looking directly into his eyes.

Hope blinked then leaned closer, so they were face to face. Looking into those unforgettable ice blue eyes that were slightly warm now. He slowly blinked and a smile crossed his lips slowly.

"Light?" he asked softly.

Lightning nodded and her lips curled into a slight smile. "Yes." she answered.

"B-But how?" Hope wandered till he heard Sazh speak. He looked toward the group and gaped at people he didn't recognize.

"Well you see... some whacked out fairy decided to place this curse on Lightning along with the rest of the castle that made Lightning into a beast and all of us into animals or moogles! Just because Lightning was about to kill Snow here for stealing away Serah. So to be able to break the curse, she had to fall in love with someone and they had to return her love. Without knowing about the curse. So meet our dear Princess Lightning Farron." Sazh explained with a shrug.

Snow grinned sheepishly and scratched the back of his head and Serah smiled. Happy that Lightning was alive. Hope stared at the explanation then looked at Lightning who was currently looking away from him after Sazh explained.

"So... does that mean... you love me Light?" Hope asked timidly as he stared at her.

Lightning felt a soft blush cross her cheeks as her blue gaze glanced at him. She slowly nodded a bit, it would be stupid to just deny it after all this. "Yes." she answered and turned her head to face him.

Hope blinked then he slowly smiled then leaned up and kissed her on the mouth. "Love you too." he whispered against her mouth.

Lightning twitched at the unfamiliar contact but she slowly closed her eyes and returned it.

Everyone cheered in celebration at the kiss.

"So... when's the wedding?" asked Snow with a grin, which Lightning threw a rock right into his head. "Ow!"

Everyone laughed at him and started teasing Snow about how he deserved it then Serah and Vanille ran over and tackle hugged Hope and Lightning.

"Group hug!" said Fang then wrapped her arms around Vanille.

Snow wrapped his from behind Serah. Sazh huffed.

"I'm not about to get my but kicked by Lightning thank you!" Sazh laughed and everyone chuckled.

Lightning twitched at the people hugging her but decided to just let them have their fun for once. She looked at Hope who was smiling at her then she returned the smile. Lightning never believed in happy endings but maybe... she started to believe in happy beginnings.
