Previously on Meeting You...
Lightning smiled at her sister. She looked at the clock and saw that it was almost seven.
"Crap..." Lightning muttered. She looked at Serah and said, "Serah, go to sleep now."
Serah nodded, yawning. She walked to the stairs but she stopped abruptly, looking at Light. "Light?"
"Yes?" Lightning replied, facing her.
"What about you? Aren't you gonna sleep?"
Lightning shook her head. "Ah... No. I still have some paperwork to finish. Damn Cid, he keeps on giving me these little pieces of shit."
"Oh, okay. Good night, Light!"
"Night."
Serah retreated up the stairs, not a sound was heard.
Lightning then headed to her small office, scowling. 'Damn you Cid and your paperworks. If you give me a lot one more time, I swear to Etro I'll break your fucking nose.' She thought, hissing under her breath.
Now...
Eventually, three days had passed. The party was on Saturday, and the current day was Friday and thankfully, the date of her day-off. She did not want to ask her boss, Cid Raines, again for permission for a day-off because the last time she did, well... Let's just say that, her boss got a red hand mark on the cheek that lasted for a week.
And thank Etro, he did not fire her. The reason? He was still into her.
Cid would give Lightning a wink whenever he passed by Lightning's workplace. Sometimes even seductive looks and flirty remarks. Lightning, on the other hand, felt disgusted by it.
The same also went for her male co-workers. They would dramatically swoon and sigh every time she passed by. The same thing also happens to her friend, Fang.
Anyways, Serah and Lightning were now busy packing their things needed for their stay in Tenebrae. Clothes, make-up, soap and shampoo, towels, shoes, a blowdryer and of course; their gadgets and chargers. Serah also reminded Lightning not to forget the snacks and tumblers for hot chocolate and coffee.
As for Lightning, she brought a shoulder bag full of novels. Lightning used to have a Twilight saga novel, but threw it away due to the horribleness of it. Same goes to the movie, too.
"Serah, be sure to sleep early tonight," Lightning advised her, a serious tone on her voice. "I don't want you to get lots of pimples like what happened to Lilac."
"Okay," Serah said, doing the 'cross my heart' gesture. "I promise."
Lightning couldn't help but chuckle at the gesture. She thought it was cute for Serah to do so.
"By the way Light," Serah looked at her sister and asked, "Have you booked a flight to Tenebrae already?"
"Yeah, before I went to sleep." Lightning replied.
"Okay, good."
When nighttime had came, Serah bid Lightning 'good night' and went to bed.
Lightning was also feeling tired as well. She yawned and went to her room. Before she laid down on her bed, she had set the clock to 1:30 am. Their flight for Tenebrae was on 2:20 am, early in the morning.
Lightning then muttered a prayer to Etro before she slowly fell asleep on her soft bed.
The next day...
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
The alarm clock sounded at exactly 1:30 am. Lightning stirred and her eyes shot open.
As fast as her namesake, she shot up from her bed. She then went to Serah's room to wake her up.
But to her surprise, Serah was already up. She was looking at Lightning with a confused look and asked, "Light, is something wrong?"
Lightning shook her head and smiled apologetically. "Uh, no. Just came here to wake you up, but... It seems you already did."
"Oh."
Lightning then closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief. She went to her bedroom's bathroom to take a bath. After that, Lightning opened her wardrobe and picked a simple t-shirt with the words, "I hate you" in capital letters and a pair of black leggings. She went to her shoe rack and wore her black Converse shoes. Lightning then took her towel off her head and started blowdrying her hair.
Soon enough, she emerged from her room to cook breakfast but she was already beaten by Serah, who had a cute goofy smile on her face.
"Haa~!" Serah exclaimed, sticking out her tongue. "Beat you again, sis!"
Lightning inaudibly let out a chuckle. She and Serah then started chugging down on their food after a silent prayer.
After their breakfast, Lightning rushed inside her bedroom and took hers and Serah's bags and luggage. She went to the garage and loaded their stuff in. Lightning then requested Serah to check if any appliance was still on while she checked if the house and car keys were in her bag's pockets.
"Everything's turned off, Light." Serah informed her.
"Okay. Now get in."
Serah complied and opened the car's doors and got in. Lightning then started the engine and drove off.
"So, sis," Serah started, absent-mindedly playing with her fingers. "Who's gonna take care of the car?"
"Noel will," Lightning answered. "I called him up last night and he said it was okay. Hopefully, he should be in the airport right now."
Serah slightly nodded in understanding. Bored, she took her iPad from her backpack and decided to watch some funny videos. Not wanting to disturb her sister, Serah took her earphones and stuck it on both her ears.
Scene Shift
When they arrived on the airport, Noel was already waiting outside. He was wearing a white polo with a navy blue jacket and faded jeans. Serah then came out and hugged Noel tight, surprising the brown-haired male.
"Noel!" Serah exclaimed, looking up at the guy's face. "Glad to see you here!"
Lightning could only laugh at seeing Noel's blushing face, though it was unlikely for her to do such. Seriously, this guy was even better than Serah's ex-boyfriend, Snow. Noel was even more polite, proper and gentleman-like compared to Snow, who was a 'disgrace' to today's society. Shaking her head, she pulled Serah off Noel and said, "Okay Serah, that's enough. We're gonna miss our flight."
"Your sister's right, Serah." Noel added in agreement.
Serah pouted cutely, making Noel smirk. But eventually, Serah did a flying kiss, making Noel blush crimson red again.
"Okay, seriously, enough flirting," Lightning was getting a little bit overwhelmed at their flirting. "Me and Serah still have a freakin' flight to catch so... Noel, take care of the car, okay?"
Noel saluted her. "Will do, ma'am!"
Lightning and Serah both nodded and went to the back of the car and unloaded their things. They then started to walk to entrance of the airport's building but while doing so, Serah looked back, waved at Noel and shouted, "Bye Noel!"
Noel also waved at her and shouted back, "Goodbye to you too, Serah!"
Scene Shift
Lightning looked at the watch inside the building. It was now 2:14, 6 minutes before their flight. She and her sister then hurried to plane A5-6796 and climbed inside. Luckily, there were still two vacant seats beside each other.
After they had settled themselves in, they readied themselves for a long flight.
To be continued...
