Thanks to everyone who reviewed and read. I love you to death. Prepare to recieve a mental high-five...Nice! Now, read go on...
"Wake up! Can't you hear that? Wakey wakey!" A voice was bringing Lightning out of her slumber. She was half conscious when she shifted on her side.
"Go away, Serah..." she mumbled.
"Who's Serah? Is that your new girlyfriend?" the small voice giggled. Lightning was still in a sleepy haze when her senses honed in on an annoying noise.
...STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON IS A BROTHA THAT'LL MAKE YO' MOTHER AND M-
Lightning's hand slammed down on the stereo blasting that music. She shot outta bed, eyes half open. "Good lord, who turned that shit on?" Her voice. It sounded less feminine; she didn't take much notice, assuming it was just a dry throat.
"I'm telling Mom, you said a bad word! She's gonna flip!" Lightning turned to her left and saw a short, dark haired girl. She was smiling teasingly, and was pointing at him.
Lightning yawned and blinked her eyes open a tad wider to fully focus on the girl in front of her. She jumped nearly outta bed when she realized it wasn't anybody she knew.
"Who are you and why the hell are you doing in my house?"
The little girl looked around 14, same as Serah, and her smile turned into a frown. "It's me Rinoa, your little sister, big stupid head! I swear Bro, I think your friends' stupidity is getting to you." she muttered under her breath, still audible to Light, walking out of the room and shutting the door behind her. Lightning was still in her bed, unsure about what Rinoa said. 'Wait, Rinoa...I feel like I know that name. Hmm..Maybe not.'
When Light clutched the blanket she'd thrown off of her, she noticed she was wearing a proper shirt. 'I thought must've been a draft...' she looked up at the ceiling then her eyes widened again. "Holy Fuck! What is wrong with me? Where are my-" Her two hands slapped onto her chest, as someone knocked on the door.
"Noctis, are you okay?" It seemed to belong to an older girl. "Its 6:35, hurry up, unless you wanna be late like always!" Light heard their footsteps fading away from 'her' door. The room was dark. Black curtains, dark blue sheets and pillows, and dark colored walls. 'This isn't my room, where the fuck am I? This must be a freak dream, where I have no boobs and I have random sisters!' she ran a hand through her hair, expecting her pink locks to still be there and not dark midnight blue ones. 'Of course!'
Her feet swing over the side of the bed; she braced herself for what she looked like. Light shot her head up to the mirror across from her, she saw him looking back. Noctis Caelum was looking or rather she was looking at his body's reflection. She let out a blood curdling scream and ran towards the window of his room. She could see herself, well her body, freaking out. Her body approached the window as well.
They opened their windows. "What the fuck are you doing in my body?" Her body yelled at her.
"Because it's my entire fault we are in the situation! I would rather die than be in your shoes, literally!" Lightning screamed back. It was strange to be scolding her own body, almost like talking to herself.
"Get dressed! We need to talk." Noctis slammed the window shut and walked away from it.
She followed suit, pulling out the school uniform from his closet. "Great, I have a penis, this is revolting.." she muttered putting on the slacks.
She grabbed his backpack and tiptoed down stairs, the last thing she wanted was to have to interact with his family. Her door to freedom was mere inches away until a stern voice caught him.
"Noctis Lucis Caelum. You better be in this dining room and eating your breakfast or I will cut that precious hair of yours off." She laughed a little at their threat. 'I knew he loved his hair a little too much.'
She turned on her feet and went into the dining room, after searching for it, seeing two dark haired women and one blonde one, as well as a dark haired man drinking coffee.
"What are you staring at, Noctis. Eat already; I don't wanna be late for school." She realized she was uncomfortably staring at the older girl with dark hair. 'Must be another sibling.'
"Tifa, will you hand me the bacon?" the younger girl, Rinoa asked extending her hand to a small plate. She slid in the seat across from Tifa. The blonde woman served her a plate of breakfast. "T-thanks...Mom?" She smiled; Light was relieved, thanking the heavens that she was right. Lightning ate quickly and quietly.
"Noct, are you okay? You are quieter than usual."
"I-I'm fine..." She answered as cooly as possible. "Thank for the wonderful breakfast, I will see you after school." She excused herself from the dining room of surprised faces. Apparently Noctis wasn't skilled in table etiquette.
She exited the house, before reaching the last step his friends, Zack, Prompto, and Reno, were walking towards her. 'Oh crap what do I do?'
"Oh hey, guys! How has your day been?"
"Uhh..Fine..thanks...you alright Noct?" Zack gave him a quizzical look. His uniform was unusually tidy. His shirt tucked in, blazer was straight and buttoned, and his tie was pulled tight and aligned perfectly with the collar.
"Just peachy. Let's head to school. Don't wanna be late, unless that's what we usually do?" she slowed her speech down unsure if that was or wasn't what they did. She never really paid any attention to them.
"Noct, you sure you're alright? You're acting kinda funny." The blonde interrupted Light's staring contest with the sidewalk.
"I'm okay! Why does everyone think there's something wrong with me? So I look a little tidy today, that doesn't mean I have issues!" She threw her hands up in the air and walked ahead of them.
Noctis reached school, and found Lightning, sitting nervously with his friends. He stomped towards them.
"Oh look, here comes Pinky." he heard Promto say. It was weird looking at his body just sitting in front of him, and looking like a lost puppy.
"Lig-Noctis, can I have a word with you?" He ignored his friends' comments about his appearance. Lightning looked up at him. She was about to get up when Reno whispered to her. Noctis witnessed what his face looked like after hearing something disgusting. 'Do I really make that face? Oh god help me...'
She hurried towards him as he walked out of his Friend's line of vision.
"If you weren't in my body, I would punch you in the face." Light threatened.
"Can it! We need to figure this out! I mean I can't be stuck in your body forever!"
Off in the distance, Noctis' friends could hear the faint, inaudible yelling and moved to a more optimum viewing spot.
"What do they are arguing about?" Prompto asked. They all shrugged.
"She's probably begging him to see that she loves him and that they should be together...you know all the 'geek loves popular boy' shit, like in the movies." Gladious suggested.
"You would know, Mr.'I-love-Jerry-Macguire!'." the red-head teased.
"Shut up! He had her at hello! They complete each other!" He flailed his arms above his head in irritation. Ignis patted him on the back.
"Hey, does anyone else notice Noctis is acting really weird. Usually he would still be hanging out with us instead of having a private heated conversation with Lightning." Zack observed as the two were still arguing. "You don't think..."
They boys looked at one another before simultaneously saying "Nah!"
"You'd better hope I wake up in my own body tomorrow or you'll be in for a hell of a surprise!" Noctis pulled his skirt, as odd and uncomfortable as it was, straight. He stormed off leaving Light to be surrounded by Noctis' friends.
'Some one help me...' she thought, as the guys were rough housing and rolling on the ground. 'I'm surrounded by these savages.'
'Just keep walking Noctis, not like it can get much worse...' he was struggling with the feeling of no pants.
'How does a girl handle the draft? Well, it is quite stylish...what am I thinking?'
"Lightning, I've been looking everywhere for you!" a voice call behind from him. Noctis picked up the pace of his walking, but the person already caught up with her. It was a tall tan girl with wild black hair. "Light, I need to talk you."
"Uhhh, sure. ...Shoot." Noctis agreed unsure of what to say.
"Light, I wanted to know if you have you half of our project in Science ready for tomorrow."
"What? I mean sure of course."
"Great, I'm sure your speech will get us an A. They always do. And don't forget to say hi to Cloud for me." She winked and ran off. 'What the hell did I just do? I'm fucked now.' Noctis stared at his feet as he trudged to her next class.
The school day went by very smoothly, other than the awkward state they were both in as each went to the other's P.E. class. Needless to say, they were changing in the bathroom that day.
Noctis was the first to get home, well to her house. As he walked into Lightning's house, her family quickly greeted him.
"Claire, I had the best time at school today!" the younger Farron went on rambling about her entire day, leaving no small detail out. From the gum on the sidewalk she stepped on to the squirrel she saw run up a tree on her way to school. Useless information, so Noctis tuned her out.
"Claire, sweety, can you go get me your father?" He nodded. 'Fuck, how does Lightning talk with her family?'
"Sure thing, Mommy?" he squeaked.
Noctis went on a wild goose chase for Lightning's dad. When he saw him sitting in his office looking over a piece of what looked like important paper.
"Uhh, sir- er, I mean-Mr. Far- umm Dad?" he sputtered out attempting to get the brunette's attention. Her father peered his head over the paper and laughed.
"You alright, there Stutterpants?"
"Y-yeah, Mom wants you downstairs." he pointed over his shoulder. The man pushed himself up and made his way towards him. He hugged Noctis, and Noctis stood in her father's hug awkwardly.
"You alright, you've been acting kind of off today? Does my girl still think she's too cool for Dad's hugs?" he joked separating and tussled his hair. Her father left to downstairs. The pinks locks fell in front of his eyes. 'Hugs? She still gives hugs...what a Daddy's Girl?" he wanted to burst out laughing.
"Oh, I'm never letting this down.." he muttered to himself.
Lightning walked into the Caelum Residence, used to a warm welcome from her little sister every day, it was awfully quiet. She slipped off her shoes and continued upstairs. 'Which room was his again?' she did a Hail Mary and opened the first door. She walked into a room with Zebra wallpaper, a white bed with black and pink comforters, pink, white and black curtains. She confirmed that it wasn't his room when she noticed the older girl, Tifa she remembered, was sobbing slightly into her pillow. Tifa looked up to lock eyes with Lightning.
"What do you want, Noctis?" she answered rather harshly. Light was debating on whether or not to comfort her. After all she was technically her sister, and what are big brothers for? Cloud would most likely comfort Light if she was crying. But from the sounds of it, Noctis wasn't as caring for his sister's feeling as much.
Lightning approached her and sat down on her edge of her bed. 'Here goes something, I guess...'
Well, I knew I said I was going to update this at the end of last week but, I was busy with school. It's close to the end of the school year, so everyone is bombarding me with homework and packets for review. Can't wait for summer!
