CHANGE

Lav surveyed her surroundings. There are moments when the Lanes could rival Piltover's beauty.

Her face was illuminated brilliantly by lights, and in the distance, she could just make out the faint sound of music. Grunting, Lavender tried to keep up with Vi as she hoisted herself up onto another building.

"Where are we going?" Lav questioned, yelling slightly to Vi. All she could do was smile back. "You'll see shortcake."

She groaned at Vi's secretiveness. Lavender hated surprises.

Along the rooftops of the houses in the lanes, both females picked up their pace. Vi laughed as she took a bold jump onto a lower building, taking Lavender by surprise. She was unfamiliar with the region and had never been on this side of town before.

Taking the chuckle as a challenge, lavender began to speed up her pace. She leaped forward, speeding through the buildings with her quickness. Vi grinned at her rivalry and stepped up to the plate, picking up speed. Yet Lavender did not once let her take the lead.

She moved so fast and gracefully that vi let out an exasperated sigh when she saw that lavender was two buildings ahead of her.

"Shortcake, do you even know where you're going?!" Vi shouted when she saw Lavender get ahead of herself. "No!" Lavender let out a laugh, "I would if you would just tell me." Lavender slowed down, waiting for Vi to catch up with her.

Vi smiled at her childish laughter. "We're almost there."

After a few more jumps and runs, the two finally made it to a clearing. Lavender let out a confused "Huh," looking at the platform in front of them.

It was a massive circular platform with a damaged railing around it and stairs coming up to it from the back. There was a massive neon sign behind the platform with a large bass fish in the middle and flashing broken lights.

Lavender felt Vi take her hand, leading her up to the area. Vi went first, hoisting herself up, then reaching down and pulling Lavender up with her. Once on her feet, Lavender spun around, looking at the flickering neon sign, having no clue where they were.

"Violet, what is this place?"

With a murmured "a past life," Vi approached her and once more took her hand. pointing her in the direction of the opening in the railing's edge. Lavender followed her mindlessly, sitting down as soon as she arrived, her legs hanging over the edge.

"This is what you wanted to show me?" Lavender enquired. Glancing around, she saw that this location was encircled by a number of buildings that gave them a view throughout Zuan, albeit with a light layer of fog obscuring their view.

"When I was young," Vi began, "Me and powder lived not too far from here." Vi pointed off in the distance. "We lived in a tiny one-bedroom home." Vi let out a deep chuckle. "That seems like a million years ago,"

"Hey," Lavender said, taking her hands in hers, wrapping them around Vi's calloused fingers. "Talk to me, love." She whispered.

Vi smiled weakly at her. "Sometimes, I try to remember my life before Vander. My mom and dad seem like figments of my imagination, like they were never real. But then there are these moments when I look at powder, and all I see is my mother. " Vi began to close her eyes and squeeze Lavender's hand tight. She didn't mind though, she could handle it.

"And then all of sudden these memories come back like they were submerged for so long, and then finally they overflow and come flooding through my mind. Our home life, my mom-the bridge." She paused, and Lav quietly waited for her to continue, the look on her face full of pain. "Yet somehow I can't even remember my own father's face anymore. " Vi let out a weak sob, feeling a tear slip down her face.
