Epilogue : life

Much to their surprise, Fang and Vanille don't become crystal again. Their brand disappeared like if they never were here. One second they were, and the next they weren't. All of their friends were happy for them. But Snow fearful stare attracted Fang's attention.

" What's the matter, big man ?" She asked teasingly. " We have win ! why are you still afraid."

" They give me the creeps." Answered truthfully Snow. " Look at them ! They are grinning like idiots. Since when does sis and Hope grin like that ? Something is up, and I'm afraid to find out what it is."

" You ? Afraid ?" Asked a puzzled Fang before she smiled. " But you are right. Light can make you kiss the floor sooner than it take me time to say it."

" Hope is worst." Stated Snow.

" You must be jocking." Laughed Vanille. " Hope is too nice to do something like this."

" Try to speak bad about sis and you would see. " Answered just Snow.

His ribs still hurt from Hope's punch. Fang and Vanille still saw him as the young boy he once was. But he is no more anything close as what he was. They will find it out sooner or later.

Hope, still with Light passed out in his arm, come to his friends. Sazh smiled at him and Snow too. But Fang and Vanille looked expectantly at him.

" What ?" He asked, a little unsure of why he was stared like this.

" Nothing !" Said Vanille in her natural joyful manners.

" So. " Asked Fang. " How is the princess ?"

Hope laughed at this.

" If she had heard you calling her like this, Light would have kicked your ass. " He said it like if it was the most natural thing. " And she is fine, she just need rest, a lot of rest. They both are fine."

" Yeah !" Squealed Vanille. " She had told you, don't she ?"

Vanille was so happy that she bounced around them.

" Calm down, Vanille. And yes she had told me."

" Congratulation. " Said Fang with an unusual bright smile.

" Congratulation ?" Asked a puzzled Snow. " For what ?"

Sazh, for his part had perfectly understand why Fang had congratulate Hope and Light. He had his suspicion, but don't have dared to share them with Hope in fear that he was wrong. But it turned out that he was right, and his smile gone brighter than before.

Hope rolled his eyes at Snow's clueless mind. Serah was already two time pregnant and he is not even capable to figure why fang congratulate them.

" Light and I will be parent in a few months."

Snow, for once, became speechless. He had not see that coming. But soon he recovered.

" A baby ? You two ? Great ! Our little boy and Alex can play with him.

Fang snorted at this.

" Yes." She said. " Your little boy would become her favorite toy."

The next month, Light and Hope are wedded. It was the commander Amodar, the new primarch of the colonies who leaded Light to her future husband. He was very proud to be chose for such an honor, and he showed it. He even let a tear escape him, when he gave her to Hope.

In the last month a lot of things have changed. After the death of the primarch, the commander had take the matters of the treaty in his hand. He had said that it was the last wish of the primarch and no one had said something against the project. It had take them almost the month to made the treaty, but now, the l'cie have a home where no one can expelled them from. Sure, the citizen of the colonies would not be happy if the L'cie come to their home, but there is no risk anymore than they were killed here. Amodar is not a fool, and he had see that there is no way for the L'cie to leave their village. This place was home for them.

It's only a few days after the treaty was made that the commander had learned that the colonies don't have anyone to rule them. Everyone who had worked close with the dead primarch were now dead themselves or have lost their mind without hope of curing. Amodar was the most graded soldier who is still not affected bu this strange illness, so it was natural that it was him who become the new primarch. He had accepted the honor and he had take his role by heart.

But today he just felt like a proud father. And, in a way that's what he is. Light, and the others guardians force were all like his children. But he was particularly proud of her. The angry girl she once was was dead, as the cold soldier. Now she is a radiant woman, happy to marry the man she loved more thanher life. He promised himself, on this special day, that he would do anything for the citizen of cocoon don't thought anymore at culprit when they thought of the L'cies. It will take time, a lot of time to achieve it, but he will succeed. One day he will.

Serah don't stopped to cry when she see her sister marrying the man who was made for her. As the maid of honor, Serah had try to hid her tears of joy, but she can't have help herself after she had heard their vows. Never before she had heard such beautiful and true words. Even Snow was not as romantic for their wedding. But she was not the only one crying, Vanille is also crying like a mad, and even Fang had some tears in her eyes. The crow cheered when they shared their first kiss as husband and wife. Only Alex made a face when he saw it, which made Claire laugh. She kissed her bringer of the ring to his cheek, and Alex beamed . Snow laughed so hard at this that serah was afraid that he let their new born son, Yuki, nammed after his father, fall to the floor. The rest of the night was very joyful to all of them.

Five years later, four children were playing on the field near the village. There was Snow and Serah's three children and Hope and Light's daughter : Joy. And like her father she lived upon her name. But right now she hoped for her little brother to be born soon. Like this, there will be two Estheim against three Villiers, what is the fair amount. Her little brother would be named Eidan, she know it. It was her daddy name when he had come to their village first and she liked it, but she preferred her daddy's real name, because like her aunt Fang said often in their family there is a Light, a Hope, and a Joy. And what can they asked more.

Suddenly the world faded around them and they found themselves in the same field but their village had disappeared. Yuki began to cry, and Joy and her cousin looked at each other. Making a decision, the two girls yelled : " Alex !"

Their yell attracted the attention of two young L'cie. The children helped them in their task, but unfortunately they can't help them for too long, because the same phenomenon happened again and they found themselves in their time. The children run to their parents who were surprised to see them so soon. They shared their story with their parent, but they saw that they don't believed them. Only Joy's father looked worried and the little girl chose to say that it was just a game they have played. She was happy to see that her father returned her smile.

Outside, fang and Vanille waited for the children. They both kissed them and said : "Thank you. Now, it is our secret."

The children happily agreed. With time they forget their adventure, but their life was never boring. How could have it be different with their parents. The life was always with change but it was what made it it worth living. And they all have a better life because they have found their new life and lived it.

End.
