[Serah Farron - 001 Video] The beginning of it all (New Bark)

[The camera feed swings around slightly as it shows a young woman squinting at a door in confusion in between trying to figure out what had just happened. This doesn't make sense at all.]

Go on a journey? But I already was! Where's Noel? and Mog?

[The camera feed finally gets straightened out so that Serah can into it with a completely baffled look on her face.]

What happened? This doesn't look like anywhere on Pulse at all. Time couldn't have changed things this much, could it? Noel....what's going on!?

[Of course he's not exactly around to answer her.]

I hope they're both okay wherever they are. I wonder what happened, maybe something went wrong? Or maybe...

[Maybe jumping into a supposed time portal with the guy she'd met only yesterday had been a bad idea. No, she's not going to doubt him so easily. She can't afford to give up yet. After all he'd promised that- hey wait a minute that's it!]

Lightning! [He'd promised to take her to see her sister! So that means she has to be here! Suddenly her expression changes and she stares into the camera with a hopeful look on her face] If anyone's watching does anyone know a woman named Lightning Farron? Please, it's really important!

[Oh wait, she's leaving one lousy first impression isn't she. Though the shivering she's doing probably isn't very impressive either. She's dressed for Bodhum weather not this... whatever this is.]

Oh, I'm so sorry! My name's Serah Farron and I guess it's probably pretty obvious that I'm new to wherever this is. So you see, Lightning's my big sis and I haven't seen her in a really long time. So if anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

[Okay, now she can turn it off. She'd figure out what to say before she turned it on next time. For now it's off to find somewhere warm, because it's clear that lady isn't going to let her back in.]

I'll be alright. Farron's are tough.

[Sob don't say that Serah, Hope's mom did and look what happened to her gosh.]

Yeah. But this place can be tougher than anyone sometimes.

[Serah, darling, remind her to tell you stories of this place someday. So many to tell.]

I'd say don't worry, but I know I'd just be wasting my breath.

[Teasing her big sister again, man this is a good feeling.]

Good to know three years didn't make you forget that.

[It's a good feeling to end up being teased by Serah again, too. She's missed this. So much.]

How could I forget something like that? It doesn't matter how much time passes, I'll always remember.

[It's a promise, big sis! Serah won't forget not ever.]

[Promise to always remember, huh? That makes her smile a bit, something Serah probably didn't see for more than those three years she's been gone, so it's probably a welcome sight.]

Glad to hear it. I'd be worried if you forgot stuff that old.

[Last time she saw a smile like that was the big reunion on Pulse. It's... really nice to see that smile again. Then and there Serah vows to do whatever it takes to see that smile more often in the future.]

That at least is something I can tell you not to worry about.

[All Serah has to do to see it more is stay here and be happy. That'll make Lightning happy and earn her lots of smiles.]

Yeah, but it's not the only thing. You'll find out the rest later.

[But that's not enough. She wants to actively find ways to make her sister smile! Lightning would do the same for her.]

That sounds serious. [She's a little concerned, but it seems like they'll have plenty of time to get things sorted out once they meet up.] I'll remember to ask you when we meet.

[Yes, she would, but it's better than starting at absolute zero, anyway.]

It's not. Not really. [Just...nipping that worry in the bud, even if they will sort things out.] A lot's happened, but...it's nothing to worry about. Not anymore.

[Like starting at absolute zero would phase a Farron. Ha!]

What a relief. [There's probably enough serious stuff as it is without adding more to it.] I can't wait to hear all about it.

[Oh, absolutely no phasing, but that doesn't mean it always has to be that way.]

It might take me all night to tell you everything. Still want to hear about it? [She's joking. Actually joking. Enjoy that surprise, Serah.]

[Something going easy on them for once? Say it isn't so.]

Even if it takes all day and all night.

[The joking is new, but it's nice. Apparently Light really has been through a lot. Maybe not all of it bad even.]

[She won't say it. She doesn't want to jinx it.]

I'll make coffee, then. Maybe bake a cake.

[Oh, most of it was good and amazing and sad and hurting, but she'd do it all over again. And that includes joking about her lack of cooking skills.

Or maybe that's not a joke. Hard to tell, really.]

.... So you can bake now?

[Because as far as Serah is concerned that alone would be big news. Good and the bad, she'll want to hear all about it once she's out of this gosh darned cold weather.]

Maybe. You'll see when we're in the same town.

[Which is going to happen. There's no way she's not going to get Serah, baking skills--or lack of them--be damned. Big sis is on her way to tell you everything, Serah!]

Then I'll add it to the list.

[Since there's a lot of stuff they're apparently going to be doing once they finally meet up.

If you've got a list, we'll have to be sure to do everything on it.

[Oh, so much to do. Bake and shop and talk and have coffee and...be normal sisters. This is going to take a bit of adjustment.]

In that case I should probably add a few more things to it then.

[Normal sisters. Oh yeah that's going to take some adjusting to after so long, but Serah's more than willing to give it a shot. In fact there's nothing she wants more right now.]

Add whatever you want to it. We've got time.

[Or so she hopes. Someday she'll have to pass on some bad news of her own, but for now...for now they can attempt to be normal sisters again. It'll be worth it.]

[Whatever you want is a dangerous thing to say, Lightning.]

Right. I'll see what else I can think of. It'll keep my mind busy on the trip.

[She might even be nice and leave things like new piercings and stuff off her list. Though she's really curious what this news that keeps getting hinted at is all about.]

[So long as it's not as dangerous as a Behemoth, she can deal.]

That may have been the idea.

[Because Serah with more than her ears pierced? Whoo boy that won't end well. Same as the bad news that keeps getting hinted, but that's...well. It'll wait for another few days.]

[She'll try to leave the dangerous stuff off her list. Well.. except for Lightning's cooking anyway.]

Then I'll see what I can do.

[Serah laughs.]

[Oh no the piercing was for Lightning not Serah.]

[Lightning has since learned better than to cook, really. Mostly....she has water types. They'll be fine.]

I'll hold you to that.

[And Lightning just smiles. She's missed that laugh, more than Serah will ever know.

Also, another piercing? ...Whoo boy that may not end well, either. Serah'd have better luck getting her sister into a dress.]

[That's not the most reassuring thing she's ever heard.]

[Serah is silent for a while, just the sound of crunching snow. Then she thinks of a question to ask.]

So what's this place like. When it's not so cold I mean.

[They've both missed each other dreadfully, that's why this reunion is so nice.]

[What? But surely they could figure out something else to fit Light's personality beside for that belly button one. Oooh a dress? That has potential. Don't give her ideas.]
