				Lacey Farron, 21, sighed depressively as she served coffee to the busy customers of Nautilus Park. She well and truly felt sorry for herself. How did it come to this? A couple of years ago her life had looked so perfect. She had been engaged to her childhood sweetheart, she should've been married for a little over two years now and she was a PSICOM soldier. That was when everything well and truly fucked up...<br><br>Her fiancé, Mark Raptor had been her best friend since before they could remember. They grew up together, went to school together, developed together, they were inseperable. They finally admitted their love for each when they were 15 and were dating ever since. They hit 18 and on graduation day, Mark popped the question to Lacey, to which she happily said yes. They soon moved in together and were planning the wedding. She was 100% loyal to Mark, she'd never even had thoughts of anybody else. He was her soul-mate.<br><br>She loved working for PSICOM. Ridding Cocoon of the dreaded L'Cie. They were scum, they needed to be wiped out and extinct. She was always known for charging in and destroying the L'Cie with her trusty gunblade. She was the best they had.<br><br>That was until Mark went missing. He just didn't come home one night, around three weeks before the wedding was due. He'd been out at work, hunting terrible fiends for good sums of money. Lacey was terrified, she thought that maybe he'd been killed. A few days later, they had a new L'Cie target, it was Mark. He'd been branded and nobody knew why. They needed Lacey on the case to catch him, but of course, she threw down her weapons and quit. A couple of days later, Mark was found, in crystal stasis. Everybody knew that once a focus was fulfilled, that person would never return.<br><br>Lacey fell into a depression. She'd quit her job, Mark was gone, she had no money which meant she was forced to sell the home she'd shared with Mark. She'd got her coffee job about six months later and had a small, run-down apartment in Palumpolum. Another six months after that, she started seeing someone, it only lasted a month or so though, she just couldn't find it in her to love anybody else.<br><br>So another year after that, she's got her shitty apartment, shitty job and shitty life. Could it get any worse?<br><br>She finished work for the day and changed out of her work uniform and into her normal clothes. A roll neck sleeveless jumper with a zip right down the middle, a waist length white jacket with brown detail, a tiny brown skirt, a red cape, a pair of heavy brown boots and a small bag/knife holster around her left thigh.<br><br>She was around 5'6" with wide hips, a nice firm round arse, skin almost as pale as snow that felt like silk to the touch, deep chocolate brown eyes and a good DD sized bust. Her hair was ebony black, back-combed like crazy and fell to the top of her bust with a bright cherry red fringe. She had a small silver stud through her left nostril, a silver tongue bar and a large dragon tattoo covering the outside of her left thigh. She and Mark had got matching tattoos, except his had been across his eye.<br><br>She slowly walked out of work and began pushing through the busy goers of Nautilus Park.<br>"Hey! Watch where you're going!" She shouted out as people kept bumping into her.

				Mark Raptor, 22, looked around the busy area of Nautilus Park, scratching his head in worry. He had only recently been freed from his Crystallisation...and what made thing's weird was that He couldn't remember anything about the Focus He had surely been given...L'Cie didn't revert back to human unless they had a new focus...at least, form what little he knew about them. "...Oh my god...everything's so...so blurry..." He muttered, looking really nervous as he leaned against the wall, looking up into the sky...remembering how it happened.<br><br>He had been on the Hunt for a Deadly Strain of Bomb, much larger than normal Bomb's, and more Deadly. He couldn't remember much about it since It seemed so insignificant now...He remembered encountering the thing, and Slaying it after a few minute's of attacking and dodging...and as it blew up, A Bright light shined in his eye's from the hole the Creature's explosion had blown into the Nearby Rock Wall...and...and...<br><br>He put a hand to his head as a nasty Pain seered through his head...It was then that...He had been branded. "...My Focus...I can't remember." He muttered, looking down at the ground now. It wasn't uncommon for L'Cie's not to remember their previous focus after Returning to the world, but it still annoyed the young Swordsman...and then he felt a Stabbing pain in his heart as he remembered...her..."...Lacey..." A tear slid down his cheek as he thought of her. He wasn't sure how long he'd been In Crystal, He didn't know how many thing's had changed...Had she moved on? Surely she must of by now...<br><br>He stood up, beginning to walk on. He stood very tall at around 6'3, with a firm, reasonably muscular build, though also fairly skinny. His skin wasn't as pale as Lacey's, but it was still very bright, which brought out the Colour of his Emerald-Green eye's as they scanned the area, though his eye's weren't as noticeable as the Black Dragon Tattoo across his left eye, which was a perfect Match to Lacey's Tattoo on her Thigh. His hair was Dark-Blond, not too short, though not to long, and was styled in a slightly spiky fashion. He had no Piercings of any sort, preferring not to.<br><br>He then accidentally walked into someone, quickly holding onto them before they fell to the floor. "Oh! sorry. I was-" He then blinked...stopping Dead in his Tracks. "...Lacey?" He blinked, staring at her, wondering if It really was her.

				Lacey stopped for a few seconds, reaching down the unzip the bag that was strapped around her thigh. She pulled out a packet of cigarettes and a lighter. She place the cigarette in-between her lips and lit it up quickly. She took a few long, grateful drags of it before putting the things back into her bag. She continued pushing through the crowd, taking angry drags as she walked.<br><br>Lacey hadn't always smoked. She'd started when she got with Ste, the guy she'd been seeing for a month. He'd been a smoker and he soon had her on 20 a day. Smoking helped the stress, she knew she'd never get Mark back, she wasn't even sure if she wanted him back anymore. Fair enough, he'd been branded a L'Cie and needed to complete his focus, but couldn't he of at least sent her a letter explaining what was going on?<br><br>Soon enough, a tall man had walked into Lacey. She began to fall to the floor, that was when she felt two arms wrap right around her waist, holding her up. For some reason, she felt warm and safe in the man's arms. She hadn't even looked at him yet, she didn't even know who he was, yet she felt strangely at home, content even.<br><br>"Thank you... I..." Lacey looked up, that was when she turned white as a sheet. It was like she'd seen a ghost. She blinked and tears instantly began pouring down her cheeks. "Is this some sort of sick joke? Who fucking put you up to this? Eh?!" She yelled up at the man, thinking a friend was playing some kind of evil prank with a lookalike of Mark.<br><br>She pulled out of his arms, taking a few steps back, breathing heavily, quickly lighting up another cigarette. Who would do this to her? She felt sick.

				Mark blinked slightly at Lacey's reaction. She seemed to of figured that someone was playing a Sick Joke on her. He could understand why, who wouldn't jump to conclusions if they saw someone that they had thought been in a deep, crystallised sleep, suddenly appear in front of them. "...Huh?...Lacey, It's me, really!...I turned into Crystal but...I'm back...but...I don't know even know why..." HE grumbled, hand moving back to his head again, trying to remember, but nothing was coming to him. <br><br>He glanced back at her again, then blinked as he saw the cigarette in Lacey's Mouth. "...W-when did you start smoking? I thought we promised we'd never smoke when we were 17..." He said, feeling slightly hurt that she had done it anyway, but he put it to the side for now, more important Issue's cropping up into his head. <br><br>"...L-Lacey...h-how long has it been since I turned into Crystal?...I...I'm lost..." He said, a couple of tear's falling down his cheek as well, wanting someone that could help him, though not seeing it in Lacey yet.

				Lacey continuously shook her head, what was happening? Was this really real? Was she dreaming? She got her cigarette and put it out on her hand, just to check it wasn't a dream. She screamed out in agony as it left a small circular burn on her hand, it was bound to scar. More tears rolled down her cheeks.<br><br>"And you promised you'd never leave me..." She whispered sadly through floods and floods of tears. "You swore to always love me, protect me and always stay faithful."<br><br>Did he really not know how long he'd been crystallised?<br><br>"Two years Mark... two years. They found you a few days before... before... before we were due to be wed." She couldn't believe the words were spilling out of her mouth. He was standing there, right there in front of her. Half of her wanted to throw her arms around him and cry into his chest, the other half wanted to exterminate him with her gunblade.<br><br>She was soon pulling out yet another cigarette and lighting it up. She never smoked this much. She winced in pain as her hand continuously burned and stung.<br><br>"Now why don't you fuck off back to your goddamn sleep because I don't want you anywhere near me." She said painfully.

				Mark watched her as she cried and shouted at him. He bit his lip, worried at how little she understood. He had wanted to tell her, He had wanted to go straight to her for help...but the Fal'Cie that Made him a L'Cie, He had forbidden him from contacting any loved ones. He had instructed him to complete his focus on his own..."...L-Lacey...I didn't want to leave you...I've always loved you, ever since we swore we'd love each other...you don't understand...the Fal'Cie that made me a L'Cie, He said...I-If I went to anyone for help...W-well you know what we become If we don't complete our Focus!" He shouted, more tears rolling down his cheek as well.<br><br>His eye's widened as she told him just how long he'd been asleep. "...T-two years?...are you kidding me?...Oh my god..." His hand went to his head again. thing's just kept getting worse for him...How much had happened in those two years? something bad surely. why else would Lacey be Smoking? why would she hate him so? "...I...I-I'm sorry Lacey..."<br><br>He then looked extremely hurt as she told him to fuck off away from her. "...L-Lacey..." Suddenly he felt annoyance creep into his mind. "Do You think I wanted this!? do you think I Hunted that Mark knowing I was going to become a L'Cie that day!?...If...If I could turn back time...I'd never of gone...and...you can't leave me Lacey. I've got no-one else to turn to. I don't know how thing's have changed in the Two year's I've been out! what am I supposed to do!?...I...I can't even remember what my new Focus is..." He looked to the floor, gripping his fist's tightly, the tear's continuing to flow.

				A crowd was now forming around the pair. Well it wasn't exactly an inconspicuous place to have an argument. Lacey didn't care. She was too busy smoking, eyes locked onto Mark's. How could he just appear out of nowhere and expect to be forgiven? Didn't he realise how she felt? He knew how much she'd loved him, how much she adored every bone in his goddamn body. He'd been everything she'd lived for.<br><br>"Yes! Two fucking years you stupid fucking fuck! Rahhhhhh! I'm not the girl you fell in love with, not anymore. I'm just the cold empty shell of her that you left behind!"<br><br>She saw his tears flooding his face, his fists clenched. She felt a pang in her heart, seeing him hurt. She threw her cigarette down and slowly walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his back and burying her face into his chest. She breathed his scent in deeply, that same comforting, familiar smell.<br><br>"I'm still furious with you. I just thought you'd need a hug." She whispered, showing small signs of the old Lacey.

				Mark too noticed the people looking around at him. It seemed as If L'Cie's weren't as frightening as they had been back in Mark's time, since they weren't Panicking about realising that Mark was a L'Cie, even though they were looking at him nervously. He understood why Lacey was acting like this...but it was still hurting him.<br><br>"...I don't believe that. I can't...I don't know what's happened with you since I got turned into a L'Cie, I don't know how thing's can surely have gotten so bad...I-" He then blinked as he suddenly felt her arm's wrapping around him, her face burying into his chest. He wrapped his arm's around her again, holding her dearly, like he always had. <br><br>He laughed slightly as he heard her words. "...I can understand that...I don't blame you for being mad Lacey, I would if It had been the other way around...but the way your talking, It makes me think that you think I did this to you on Purpose...I love you too Much Lacey. If there had been ANYTHING I could've done to back out of it...I would've...but I had no choice. I couldn't turn to anyone for help. I was forced to do it alone...though...the worst part...is I can't remember what my first focus was either...It's just so infuriating..." He muttered, sighing slightly.

				Lacey let out a sigh of relief as Mark held her close to him, just like he always did. She couldn't let him see that she was still soft with him though, she needed to toughen up. She pulled away from him quickly.<br><br>"You don't know how things could've gotten so bad? I quit PSICOM because I refused to hunt you, then I thought I'd never see you again, then I had to sell the house and move into some shitty apartment, then I got a boyfriend and everything fucked up between him and I. Everything went to shit Mark, everything. Yet you're standing here telling me you love me, like it makes everything better again? Well I've got news for you... I don't love you anymore, I got over you years ago." She lied.<br><br>She thought maybe it'd save more pain later if she told him that her heart didn't belong to him anymore.<br><br>"Have a nice life, don't ever let me see you again." She couldn't look at him as she turned to walk away.<br><br>Just then, Lacey felt the earth shaking and heard people screaming. She fell to the concrete, smacked her head and passed out...<br><br>Flashes of colour, strange noises and voices. It was like Lacey was in a coma having odd dreams. She saw visions but she couldn't make them out.<br><br>She slowly woke up, groaning in pain, her head pounding in agony. Where was she? It looked like Lake Bresha, but... frozen over? She looked down and noticed something on the inside of her left wrist... a L'Cie brand? She screamed in shock and anger. Why her? Was she alone? Had anybody else been branded? How did she get to Bresha? She sat there, crying into her hands.

				HE loved the feeling as he felt her heart beat against his chest once more...but then he felt her move away. "...W-what?...y-you did that?...Lacey, you didn't have to do that. You were a brilliant Soldier! you loved your job! you shouldn't give up thing's like that just for me!...wait, what?" His eye's widened as she mentioned her 'boyfriend'. He was about to retort, when he blinked as she said she didn't love him. "...L-Lacey..." A few more tears streamed down his face. <br><br>"...No...please Lacey, don't go...I-" He then gasped as an Earthquake suddenly erupted out of nowhere. Out of Shock, Mark was thrown back into the wall, hitting his head against it, and also falling unconscious...<br><br>"Urrrgggh...." HE woke up when he suddenly heard a Scream...followed by Sobbing. "Mmmm...what happened?...w-where am-" He then glanced towards the source of the Sobbing, and saw Lacey, Crying into her hands. "...Lacey?...what's wrong? what-" It was then that he noticed the Brand...and he felt his inside's turn to Ice. "...No...Lacey..." He bit his lip, before gently wrapping his arm's around her, not so much out of love, but commiseration this time. "...How did this happen?"

				Lacey felt arms wrapping around her. She quickly pushed her way out of them.<br>"You! This is all your goddamn fault! If you hadn't of came back then I wouldn't be down here right now! I wouldn't be branded!" She cried harder and harder. "I'd rather kill myself than spend the rest of my days with you."<br><br>She got up from the ground and began looking around her. She almost boiled over with anger and as she stared hard at a frozen over tree, in soon burst into flame. She gasped in shock.<br><br>"Did I?... Did I just do that?" She shook her head, confused.<br><br>She looked at another tree, doing the same thing again. Did she have some sort of magical powers? It was true then, everything that was said about the L'Cie. They were freaks. She felt like scum.<br><br>She turned around to face Mark once more.<br>"You... you planned this, didn't you? You knew what was going to happen! Why did I ever fall for the likes of you?!"<br><br>These horrible words that were spilling from her mouth... what had she turned into? What had the last few years done to her? She idolised Mark before then. She'd wanted to start trying for children after the wedding. They could've had a baby by now.<br><br>"I hate you!" She yelled.

				Mark gasped as she suddenly shouted an outburst at him. "...How the hell is this my fault!? I didn't cause that Earthquake! I don't even know what kind of thing's happen around Cocoon these days!" He shouted at her.<br><br>He watched as she began setting the frozen tree's on fire, before she suddenly faced him again, after incinerating 4 Trees. <br><br>He couldn't help but stare as she accused him of this. "Lacey, WHY would I want to make you a L'CIE of all things!? I wouldn't wish that against my WORST ENEMY, let alone the woman I love!" He shouted furiously at her. He couldn't believe how much she had changed over the years...was it the guy she had been with? either way, He looked truly hurt when she shouted that she hated him. He walked forward, Gripping her shoulder's tightly. "I KNOW you don't believe those words...Listen to me Lacey, I'm just as confused as you are. I DON'T KNOW how this happened...why are you blaming me for everything?..." Tear's Began sliding down his face again. "...I know it wouldn't ever be the same but...I...I at least hoped...you'd understand how horrible it's been for me to be without you..." He let go of her, punching a Frozen wall in frustration, still crying gently.

				Lacey watched him punch the frozen wall and she winced. He really was being serious, he was telling the truth. She walked slowly over to him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind.<br><br>"I'm sorry for the things I've said, but what do you expect when I've been without you all this time?! My life hasn't been worth living without you. YOU were my life. I know you'd never want to hurt me and although it may not have been your fault, you destroyed me. It's taken me a long time to get over you, but I'm finally there. Every ounce of love I had for you, turned to hate. I may not hate you now, but I don't love you anymore and you need to understand that." She outright lied to him, he really couldn't know how she still felt. "I'll be your friend, but that's all I can be now. You need to get over me." She sighed.<br><br>She looked around, she was tired and they needed shelter. She spotted an old abandoned cabin and began to walk toward it.<br>"Come on, we'll stay here for tonight, hopefully it's got a shower!"<br><br>She slowly walked over to the place and kicked the door open. She coughed a little at all of the dust, but managed to find a lightswitch. She flicked on and took in her surroundings.<br><br>There was a double bed, an armchair, a stove and a small bathroom with no door on it. It'd do for now.<br><br>"I'm going for a shower." Lacey muttered to Mark.<br><br>She began undressing in front of him, not caring that he saw her body as he'd seen it all before. dropped her clothes and took off her boots until she was standing in her black lace bra and French knicker set. Her full body was on show, wide hips, perfect big round arse and large bust. The last item she was wearing was an engagement necklace. She didn't even think about the fact that Mark didn't know she still had it on.<br><br>She sauntered off into the bathroom, removed her underwear and stepped under the warm water.

				He sighed and looked down as he felt her arm's wrap around his once more. He was glad she was here...she was the only thing he had that connected him to the Cocoon he knew before becoming a L'Cie. He then listened to what she had to say.<br><br>"...I'm not surprised by your reaction. I am hurt, no question about it...but I can understand why your acting like this...I felt a massive hole in my heart when I was told I couldn't go to you, or anyone else, for help...because I knew It meant I'd turn into Crystal without anyone knowing...at least not for a while...I can understand if you can't see it in your heart to love me anymore, even though I still love you...but yeah, Friends...I'd like that, if we could at least still be together, even if you can't love me anymore..." He said to her softly.<br><br>He glanced around as she spotted the nearby Cabin. He kinda looked a bit befuddled. "...Why is it you can always seem to get lucky at spotting nicer places to stay? when I was fulfilling my Focus I could NEVER find anything like this! I had to sleep outside, in the danger...I had to study the monster's that lived around the area, to make sure I slept at the same time's they slept...oh nevermind." He rolled his eyes, and followed her into the Cabin.<br><br>He glanced around the cabin. "...Huh...this'll do..." He said, shrugging and following her inside, collapsing into the armchair, running a hand through his hair. He glanced as she mentioned her shower, but didn't so much as blink when she stripped in front of him, instead grinning. "...Your still as beautiful as I remember..." He said, chuckling lightly, before his eye's noticed the necklace around her neck...This made him nervous. He had lost his Engagement Necklace when He had been fighting a Bunch of Flan monster's. They had used Magic to burn the thing to a crisp after it had been knocked away from him. He just remained quiet for now, listening to the water coming from the shower.

				"Beautiful?! You need glasses!" Lacey shouted out, laughing.<br><br>She hadn't felt beautiful in years, not since Mark had gone away. He always made her feel like his princess, but when everything happened, her confidence was knocked right down. That was until she'd met Ste. Although her confidence still hit rock bottom, the few weeks that they were together helped to cover it up for her slightly.<br><br>"So... have you ever had sex with anybody but me?!" She called out.<br><br>She wasn't sure if she really wanted to know, but if he had, it'd destroy her. She figured that it hardly made her a hypocrite for sleeping with Ste, as she never expected to see Mark, ever again.

				Mark laughed at her little shout out, remembering that she had never considered herself Beautiful until He told her about 10 times she was. "Not really! Your always beautiful in my eyes!" He called back to her.<br><br>He then glanced back at the door as she questioned him. "Nope, no-one...I mean, when you've got a Focus to fulfill, you don't really think about thing's like that. you focus more on the task at hand...what about you?" HE suddenly went quiet...If 2 year's had past...she probably would've attempted to move on. "...and BE HONEST...I won't be angry because to be honest I don't blame you if you have." HE added to her, folding his arm's slightly.<br><br>He did hope she hadn't though, even though he kind of figured she must've...HE wondered what he'd do if He met someone who she had slept with?...probably Deck them. He rolled his eyes slightly, before waiting for Lacey to speak.

				Lacey stayed dead silent. She shut the water off and stepped out of the shower, managing to find a towel that was surprisingly clean. She wrapped the tiny towel around her, it barely covered anything and she walked back out to Mark.<br><br>She sat down on the bed and looked straight over at him as he sat on the armchair.<br>"Yes... I did." She whispered. "I finally got with somebody after about a year of you being gone. We were only together for a month, but yes, we had a lot of sex." She sighed. Why did he have to ask her that?<br><br>"You have no right to be angry with me anyway, you weren't supposed to come back. I had to try and move on at some point. I broke it off with him though. I just couldn't handle being with somebody that wasn't you."

				Mark glanced at her as she walked out, wrapped in a very small Towel that revealed almost her whole body to him. He watched her sit down and look at him.<br><br>"...Ahhh...right..." He glanced away, a slightly distant look in his eye's as he took in what she told him, before he glanced back at her. "...As I said, It doesn't surprise me...and I'm not angry...I just...hope he treated you ok." He said, looking at the floor, before looking back up as she continued to speak.<br><br>"...Well, I suppose I shouldn't be back should I?...I should still be in a Crystal...but the fact is, I'm not...I'm here again..." He slowly stood up and walked over to her, sitting next to her on the bed, still looking at the floor. "...I'm sorry that your ties to me made you break it off with him...I don't really understand why you were so loyal to me though. I'm nothing that special...well, I wasn't..." He showed her his L'Cie Brand which was concealed under his shirt, on his Right Arm. "...Not the Way I'd want to be special though..." He muttered, sighing as he looked at Lacey.

				"He... treated me okay. He wasn't the best boyfriend in the world. I guess he wasn't happy about the fact that he knew my heart would always belong to you. He used to hit me, whenever I'd mention you. I eventually broke it off with him and moved to Palumpolum so that he wouldn't find me." She shrugged.<br><br>"Not special? Ha! You are... were... my everything. Every little thing you did just amazed me. You were perfect, treated me amazingly, I've loved you since we were kids." She sighed. "Why did it all have to fall apart? Why did you have to be taken from me?"<br><br>She face him with tears in her eyes. She needed to know if they still felt for each other. She spontaneously leaned in and kissed his lips softly, slowly deepening the kiss as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

				Mark's head snapped right back up and into her eyes when she told him that the guy used to hit her. "What? He hit you!?...Well that changes things. He'd better hope I don't meet him, I'll kill him for laying a finger on you..." He growled, clenching his fists tightly. how dare he?! how dare he harm the girl he loved?!<br><br>He blinked as she confessed how special Mark had been to him...or maybe it should be 'is' good to him. "...That's exactly how I Felt, AND feel now, about you Lacey...everything about you just felt perfect in my heart...and...I wish It had never happened...but I promise you Lacey-" He was beginning to cry gently now as well. "...Nothing has changed in my heart. I swear to you..." He said to her, gazing into her eyes as well.<br><br>Suddenly he felt her Lips pressing against his own. He immediately melted into the kiss. It felt so right, so good to be in a warm embrace with the woman he loved again. His hand's slid around her waist, as he gently leaned forward, deepening the kiss further, wanting to show that His feeling's for her were no different to how they were when she last saw him.
