[PRETEND THIS IS TOMORROW MORNING, OKAY. The gear clicks on. You see first the ground, then a nice view of blue sky. Then Snow's face appears, and his brows are furrowed for a second as he scrutinizes the gear, then glances around.

A grin slowly forms on his face, but it ends up being a huge one.]

Yea-ha-heaaaaah! [Translation: "YEEAAAAAH" plus

Comments

[Video] 1/---I'll let you know.

[soggypastry]

[It's so late it's early, and Light's awake. What's she doing at this hour? Staring at her gear. She really...just can't believe what she's seeing.]

[Video] 2/???

[soggypastry]

[It takes a moment for it to sink in. That's Snow, he's back, and he's...happy to be here, apparently. It's a lot to take in on so little sleep, and Lightning..really doesn't know what to think. She'd promised herself to yell at him and call him an idiot for vanishing all those months ago, but now, after all that's happened...]

[Video] 3/3

[soggypastry]

[She wants to yell. She wants to scream and tell him he's a total idiot. But she can't. All she can manage is a choked sound in the back of her throat, and one quiet word through a lump that's just decided to surface.]

...Snow?

[She knows it's him. She just...still can't believe he's come back. She'd given up all hope of ever seeing him again, no matter what she'd told Serah or Hope.]

[Video]

[savethefarron]

Heeey, knew you were too stubborn to disappear that easy!

Now c'mon, how long've I been out?

[He is actually shocked by how affected she is by this, but he's not letting it get to his head.]

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[That easy--Snow, if only you knew. She takes a moment, clearing her throat and shaking her head. Breathe, Farron. Breathe.]

Eight months. Your signal was still here until December but no one could find you. [Not for lack of trying.]

[Video]

[savethefarron]

[His face falls for a second, and his gaze drops, one hand lifting to scratch the back of his neck.]

Sorry about that.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[For a long moment, Lightning is silent. She's silent as she gets out of bed, going for her bag to get ready to leave. She's silent as there's a tiny little "Pi?" from off screen, and only speaks when she puts the gear down on the bed to get dressed.]

Forget it. Just be glad Serah wasn't here then.

[Video] just because it makes sense, gonna pretend he's surprised k [1/2]

[savethefarron]

....

[...hang on. hold the phone.]

[Video] [2/3 actually]

[savethefarron]

Serah! Maker, I know you're there!

[Video] [3/3]

[savethefarron]

[Luckily, through some stroke of luck Serah is not in hearing range. Snow shuts up all of a sudden.]

No, no, hang on. Don't tell her, okay? Please don't tell her. I'm coming, Light, I'll be there in like... hell, 24 hours if I have to. Just don't tell her. This is gonna be perfect.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[Snow, there is now a very startled Pichu staring at you through the gear. Noisy human scared him half to death! And, judging from the silence, you started Light, too.]

Give me one good reason why I shouldn't tell her you're here. She's cried enough over missing you already.

[Video]

[savethefarron]

C'mon, I'm gonna make it all romantic and stuff. Like in the movies.

Let me do that for her. Please? She'll love it, I swear.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[She does not like this. Not one tiny bit. So, after a long moment, have a sigh as she picks up the gear.]

Three days. You've got three days to get to Goldenrod before I come after you. [She needs to get that badge first, then get to the crossing...this is going to be a long week.]

[Video]

[savethefarron]

Five and it's a deal.

[Video]

[soggypastry]

[See this face? See this face, Snow? It's the one of a very annoyed woman. One who's still marching out of her room.]

Fine. I'll meet you at the crossing in five days. You'd better not be late.

[savethefarron]

Roger that, sis.
