[TO LIGHT,LOVE HOPE] CHAPTER 5: VARIOUS OBSTACLES

Hope finally got Lightning attention. "Hey Hope" Lightning greeted.

" what are you doing here?" Lightning asked him.

"family vacation, anyway where are you going?"

"Going to boutique i have to help Serah choose her wedding dress"

"and you're heading to the train station?" Hope asked then she nodded.
"How about i give you a ride?" Hope invites her.

"Your parents don't mind??" Lightning raised her left eyebrow.

"nope they don't mind at all, this way ma'am".

Hope shows the direction of his car. "don't call me ma'am" Lightning chuckled after that.

'did lightning just chuckled' Hope thought. Its really hard to see Lightning chuckle. Hope never saw Lightning chuckle before but he admits that Lightning is really gorgeous when she was chuckling.

"alright Miss Farron". Hope teased her more.

"okey stop just call me Light" Lightning who was chuckling stopped when she heard 'miss farron' word comes out from Hope. Her face turned to serious in just a second.

'Looks like Lightning is back' Hope thought again. On their way to the boutique Lightning gave Hope a piece of paper that have the boutique address on it. Lightning's head is faced the car window during the car ride. She locked her eyes on the scenery on their way to the boutique.

Hope broke the silence with questioning her.

"You know what Light you look different when we awoke in the new world.

"What kind of different?" Lightning turned her head to Hope with full of confusion.

"Your behavior" Hope answered, he heard Lightning sigh.

"You know what, you're right ever since I got my soul back, I have to admit that my behavior is different than before. Like, there's one time that I laughed at every Snow jokes even thought the joke was really lame" Lightning explained.

"Call me weird but its seem like there's 2 people living in your body"

"Yeah i kinda noticed that too" then she continued "But I still dont know who saved my soul, it can't be me because I can't see my own soul.... No one in this world understand me except Serah. Even she, cant save my soul because she was... dead that time"

Lightning turned her head again back faced the window car. Hope felt a little disappointed because he is also the one who understand her but she doesn't notice yet or she doesn't even realized.

Silence grew all their way to the boutique. When they arrived at the boutique, Serah has already waited for them, technically,  she only wait for Lightning. She doesn't know that Hope will accompany her sister that day.

"hey sis"

Serah greeted and hugged her sister.

"Hey Serah"

Lightning hugged her back.

"looks like this good looking guy dont like to see my sister being alone"

said Serah while look at Hope at behind Lightning. "I wonder why??" Serah winked at him. Hope was blushed because Serah called him 'the good looking guy'

"its nice to see you Serah" Hope greeted her and tried to hide his red face.

They got inside the boutique. Hope and Lightning helped Serah choosing her wedding dress and yeah they finally found it.
