Fatal Attraction II (Hope and them Girls)

Not a pin dared drop to the shiny waxed hardwood surface of the Estheim's living room; ending the eerie silence that had befallen all individuals accounted to hear the news that just came out of the very mouth of one; Nora Estheim.

Nor was anyone brave enough to cease the only noise the very woman herself made as she seem to find the entire ordeal completely hilarious as they watched her figure float about inside the communication sphere grid. She seemed to be donning tribal clothes from one of the planets she was currently visiting on her self-proclaimed space adventure. The very same day, she left her only son to survive from the evil clutches of Hell!

And by Hell, Hope means the women in his very presence.

Speaking of which…

Her son; one Hope Estheim, the unfortunate or fortunate hero (depending on how you viewed his situation) of this tale wasn't making matters any better as he sat rigid with his seat on the soft carpet up next to the coffee table; with a huge red blush to his entire face.

He was also staring directly into the equally blushing and embarrassed face of one; Serah Farron; second princess of Eden; who was just as shell shocked by recent news as he was. Her deep cerulean eyes weren't able to lift their gaze from the coffee table where she sat opposite from Hope. Too embarrassed to ask the woman whose figured floated inside the communication sphere grid was she sure of her claim? This had to be a mistake! It just had to be!

Not that I mind much, if it is to be Hope...but...Sis...I wonder how she feels about this whole thing? And then my own feelings... Serah couldn't even will herself to glance in Lightning's direction. Too scare of the expression she might see upon her older sister's face.

A hard pounding of fists startled both Hope and Serah. The banging of the shaken coffee table ceased Nora's laughter and made everyone turn to the culprit of the act. Serah was a little more than shocked when she realized it was Fang; and not her sister who hit the table with anger.

"Just how long are ya planning on grating my nerves with that obnoxious laughter!" The dark haired Amazon glared hazel green eyes in Nora's direction.

"That's no way to talk to Lady Nora! Show some respect you brazen-" Fang frowned in the other rosette haired woman's direction, effectively cutting off the rest of her insult.

"Why don't ya just shut up for once with your lame ass insults Sunshine! You of all people surely can't be too thrilled with what the hell she's just pulled!"

For what had to be the first time since they started staying at the Estheim's home; Lightning actually listened to Fang. Without a word to confirm or deny the Amazon princess's accusations, the elder Eden princess just crossed her arms and turned her head away from everyone's prying eyes. A slight flush to her face as she glared at the wall.

Nora who remained silent as she listened to the women argue, looked more amused than before. Her face suddenly shaped a predatory grin that would make the Cheshire Cat very proud, "Did I hit a nerve?"

Fang had the grace to blush under Nora's scrutinizing eyes. "As if! I just got really tired of your jokes, I mean there's no way in this hell or the next that you're totally serious about what you just said."

"Huh? At what point did you get the feeling I was joking young lady?" Again, Fang felt a shiver go down her spine at Nora's devilish grin. "Unless of course...you want to marry Hope too."

Everyone at the surrounding table visible blanched at the words. Fang's mouth dropped to the floor and her face was a blazed, from everything from embarrassment to annoyance. Lightning who was refusing to look at anyone, turned her head in that very instant to try and kill Fang with her very glare.

"WHERE ARE YOU GETTING CRAZY IDEAS LIKE THAT FROM!" Fang screamed at the top of her lungs. She suddenly got up from her seat on the carpet, stomping her foot on that very sturdy coffee table as she grabbed hold of the floating sphere device. "I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT MARRYING YOUR SPINELESS WIMP OF A SON!"

Hope just sat in the background as if part of the scenery with an expressionless face; suddenly being stabbed through the heart by hurtful word arrows.

"Fang please try to calm down!" This was said by Vanille who really didn't know how she should feel about the whole ordeal. On one hand she wanted to act in the way her fellow Oerban was reacting, on the other she just wanted to go somewhere in private to cry. It was a lot to take in this news of Hope and Serah just suddenly being thrown together to marry because Nora just felt like it. Not to mention, it had everyone on edge.

"Well you aren't making much of a case for yourself with the way you're acting," Nora sniggered. "If you really want...I could try to make amends and see if the Consul will allow for more than one wife?"

"STOP CREATING PLANS OUT OF THIN AIR!" Fang turned to Hope who just sat as if he couldn't give a damn if the whole world were to burn and turn to ash right before his eyes.

"And you! Why aren't you trying to talk some sense into your mother! You do know she's trying to ruin your life here!"

Hope just turned his head to look at Fang with a serene smile that hid the despair he was currently feeling. "My life was ruin the moment I discovered my L'Cie powers and you women started living here."

"I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ARSE IF YOU DON'T DEVELOP A DAMN BACKBONE!" Fang yelled.

"I'm glad!" all eyes turned to Lightning. The russet haired soldier princes finally arose from her seat at the table, a look of indifference set upon her face. "I'm glad her Majesty has made it her will to join my sister and sir Hope in holy union!"

"Sis?"

"Lightning?"

Both Serah and Hope looked with worried expressions up at Lightning who quickly turned around to walk away. Light grimaced, fists shaking, "I'm glad it's you Serah! At least that means Eden will have the power of the Holy element, making us powerful than our Enemies!"

Fang and Vanille both glared at the older Farron's back. After all, even if they all slept under the same roof for some time with the Estheim's it still didn't mean that their pasts of eons long hostilities between warring planets just suddenly ceased.

"Claire..."

"No one will be able to stop us with Hope on our side, not even Grand Pulse, so I'm...really happy for you two!" As the pink haired woman walked out of the room, Hope suddenly jumped up to go after her.

"Light wait-" his arm was caught by a feminine hand and he was surprised to look down into the eyes of Serah Farron. A blush suddenly formed on his face as he looked at her. She had an equally flushed look about her, even as she shook her to tell him not to follow her sister right now. Her face also full of worry.

"Give my sister some time...I don't think she wants to talk to either of us at the moment...so..." Hope silently

nodded, agreeing to sit back down next to Serah…

Serah Farron…

Princess Serah, second Princess of Eden Farron…

The woman who has now been officially announced as his fiancée...THAT Serah Farron…

The same girl that said she's been traveling the universe to find her mystery fiancée Serah Farron because her parents had a sick and twisted and evil sense of humor.

Kind of like a certain pair of parents he knows.

With a start Hope shot out of his seat only to faint dead onto the floor.

The shock of what situation he was in now finally caught up with the poor seventeen year old youth:

He was Serah's mystery fiancée!

And they were to be married for no other real reasons because it just amused the hell out of his mother.

Who he also just finds out is one of the most powerful monarch's in the entire universe.

Has he mentioned before that he really, really, REALLY hates the day he discovered his L'Cie powers?

Alpha: okay have at it, laugh, cry, be immensely confused as hell! Its a drabble...sue me! I did this at the wee hrs of the more back then…I still to do this day have no fricking clue wtf is even half of this!

Also, this drabble officially ends all the old one shot that were once up four/five years ago. Any 'bright' ideas after this is all new.
