TITLE: The Chain Of Bonds

After the event of Final Fantasy XIII: LIGHTNING RETURNS, The gang reborn in the new world. Lightning, who was taking a break from her long fight is now have been abroad from her hometown.

She walked around the stalls that was selling souvenirs, she was attracted to a stall that filled with cute key chains, cap, mini purse, teddy bears, plushies, clothes, scarf and many more. Lightning gets inside the stall to search something that she can buy for her friends.

After minutes of searching she found a cap for her future brother-in-law, Snow, a big moogle plushie for Serah because Lightning knows that her sister miss the mog, chocobo plushie and a pair of glove for Dajh and Sazh and for those two oerban, Lightning found a necklace for Vanille and one pair of unique earings for fang.

After she found all of them she went to the counter to pay the souvenirs, the seller that taking care of the stall smiled at Lightning then her eyes scanned on the things that Lightning wants to buy, then the seller said:

“Madam, I suggest you buy our custom-made key chain. You can choose whatever key chain design you want us to put any name or words on it”

The seller showing all the key chain design while gave a few recomandation. There's many design of key chain that the seller shows to her such as surf board, palm tree, square, star, moon, sunflower, bag and more.

“Its oka-"

Just about Lightning want to refuse, there's this key chain that caught her attention, the key chain that makes her remember about her past life.

Boomerang

Lightning finally realized that she haven't found anything for Hope, the reason why she forgot is that Hope is the only person that she haven't reunited yet, she gets to reunite with everyone except him and unfortunately non one of them know where is Hope Estheim live, she was disappointed at first because she always thought that she will reunite with him first but in ended up she reunited with others before him, a few months after that she seems to forgot about him.

"You know what... can i have this boomerang key chain and write "Hope" name at the in front and "missing you" at the back?" Said Lightning to the seller.

"Sure" said the seller

After minutes of waiting, the boomerang key chain was complete with Hope's name and "missing you" words on it, after that she bought all the stuff then received a paper bag that filled with souvenirs that she bought.

When she got outside from the stall and headed back to the hotel that she stayed, she accidentally hit a man that probably didn't notice her too, they both are on their knees now and the paper bag fell on the ground.

"I'm so sorry" said the man.

Lightning who is massaging her forehead thought that she heard a familiar voice. She looks up and saw the silver-haired man trying to regain his conscious.

"Hope????"

The silver-haired man look up to meet her blue eyes.

"Light!"

Hope immediately stood up from the ground and lend Lightning a hand to get up, Lightning took his hand and got up.

"Oh sorry again Light" Hope said as soon as he saw Lightning's paper bag is on the ground. Hope bend down then he was picking up all the souvenirs that fell on the floor to put inside the paper bag back until he was trying to reach the boomerang key chain.

When he picked up the key chain he saw his name on it while Lightning saw something that fell from Hope's pocket when he was bending down to help her, so she was bending down to take the thing that fell, she scanned the thing and it turns out it was a pink rose key chain that had her name on it.

They both scanning the key chain again. Hope turned the key chain around and saw the words "missing you" at the back while Lightning...  well she's never been so surprised before because the only words that she saw at the back of the key chain is:

'I love you'

Both of them looked up at the same time to meet each other eyes.

"Where have you been???"

Both of them said one at the same time while Hope was smiling at her while Lightning stayed in shock.
