Night in new world part I story

Night was slowly falling over newfound home in a new world, reminding it's a time to get some rest after long journey full of adventures and personal trials everyone had to endure on its own, still, even they know deep down in their hearts they were never alone, not even in darkest night, they never lost hope, there were always light to show them a way, that thin thread of friendship they all shared knowing even if they are not together everyone is working best for them to be able to meet again like this and that was what everyone of them truly believe in their hearts that's why they were able to make it trough and finally enjoy like this,

After their arrival to new world and meeting with long lost friends, when everyone greeted each other and when they all finally enter the living room gathered around big sofa of a small home they find near beach, talk start about everything and turn into friendly chatter ringing deep into the night, everyone smiling and talking,

After all what happen this ordinary scene was so amazing and special that even Light find it hard to believe it's real, they make it. Looking around bit dazzled as it all seems so unbelievable like a dream, part of her expecting to awake any moment, but smiling faces of her friends and their ringing voices bring her back in present along with a smile, yeah, this is real, her eyes sparkle with a smile, we deserve it all.

Sense of reality was strengthened up with Lebreau and Nora gang serving food on table, environs eyes widen seeing her bringing full plates of all kind of treats, truth to be told they were bit afraid, even eating seems as new sensation but after some hesitation they all relaxed enjoying all sorts of tastes, sweet, salty and "Hot!" yes hot?! Light eyes risen up to see Snow drinking big bowl of water and thanking Serah for quick reaction, she just tap his back telling him to slow down, with laughter praising Lebreau skill, she really was fantastic cook! who smiled replying jokingly "hey! I had to or else we lose costumers and end up closed for business!", happy to see them enjoying food and comfort of home atmosphere, Maqui and Yuj complained they helped to but Lebreau just waved hand to silence them up bringing her attention at Snow who wasn't quite talkative at first to recall his adventures "where to start?" his eyes glued to floor but he soon forget all his worries when Serah takes his hand sitting beside him, looking each other eyes they start talking reminiscing for a while about the events before and regarding Cocoon fall/crystallization that is, how they all turn l'Cie, focus, and its end. Nora gang nodded exited they all hear it already, but were still holding their breaths listening that story from Fang and Vanile whom they were finally introduced to, their eyes glued to them without blinking as they talk about it, it seems live legends were telling their adventures making it even more amazing and interesting, Sazh nodded his story was simple he just wish to help his soon, and then Snow continue talking about Lights disappearance and how he decided to find her, but then he stops, and Serah continue her story how she meet Noel he nodded looking at Yeul who didn't say a word just listening in silence her big eyes showing she was fallowing every word. Along with everyone holding their breaths with pale faces exchanging looks between Serah and Noel as they talk about their time travel adventure, Light smile noticing their lost gaze, not to know whom to look first, thinking how they must fell lost the same way she did when she try to think about it, she was seated comfortable in small sofa in corner of the room, she was good with that as it gives her enough space and opportunity to look at everyone without being in the center of attention, not that she had to worry about that with Snow standing up in the middle of the room in front of big sofa with Serah giggling beside him and cornered with Nora gang and everyone else gathered around, he look quite comic judging by the way he was gesturing with both hands and whole body while telling his story, someone could easily think it was comedy, even it was far from that. Half asleep with her back and legs stretched and head leaned on her hand giving one thankful look to Lebreau as she placed plate with delicious looking small cookies before her, her hand stretch taking one of cookies with her fingertips prepared to bite one, admiring its thin layer of perfect chocolate and white cream, noticing how it taste strange good! Melting in her mouth with soft biscuit, almost instantly,

almost chocking next moment as just in that moment Noel, Fang and Vanile finish their story exchanging looks,

It was not long as they had much more to talk about the Pulse, nor anything else regarding Cocoon and Nova Chrysalia events, but they all know who did and after glancing at Snow they all look at Hope without Snow to tell them and next moment with everyone stir from their seats "Hey!" grabbing her both hands and drag Light from her chair/ not without a protest, pushing her on bigger sofa in the center of the room, she glanced bit angry with hands folded and legs crossed, but she was in to good mood to be angry looking at their big eyes egger to hear the whole story from the main protagonist, fine, she was now fully awake, and so with Light and Hope sitting one beside other story of last 13 days unfold with everyone listening breathless full of question.

Light was first to talk, she told her story in a few words and simple way, as everyone insisted she answer all questions patiently in a calm tone, without stir,

Suddenly attention turn to Hope with someone asked how did you disappear?

and where?

Hope was quiet sitting beside, all this time listening without a word, now bewildered looking somehow awkward, his eyes fell as in shame,

"I,,, " something constrict in his throat, as words seems to stop, he couldn't say a thing, his half open mouth closed, he didn't know how to start, suddenly warm sensation spread from his upper palm,

"Hope was always with me", his eyes open blinking in surprise,

"he helped me in my final task," his gaze rise fallowing his heart, looking Light smile at him sitting beside him, her fingertips gently over his hand as she continue,

"his guidance was priceless, without him I wouldn't be here together with you today, "

ears ringing with Light stern sincere tone, hearing it from her makes him feel he grow wings and could fly of any moment, everyone listen speechless staring at Light and stunned Hope, he was silent,

as Light continue to talk his story as well, calmly in one breath and without disturbance,

she manage to explain it all in short and simple way, swiftly avoiding mentioning anything that could compromise his image, never mentioning what really happen/things only he know,

Hope was stunned listening to her telling it,

as Hope realizes what she was trying to do. Even after all this time, just smiling absently, she still protect me, once again he was thankful for that,

thank you.
