Mog was very much grateful that Serah had not seen those bombs, he was always grateful that the Caius that was not his Caius was there to help her. He was able to reunite with the young Claire later and they were able to all pretend nothing at all had gone wrong. Claire had simply come to master the basics of Thunder magic…. And almost learned all about Serah’s fiancé. That was all She needed to know!
Serah, being thoroughly thrown by her sister calling her pretty, allowed Mog t come out from his hiding place and float among the pair.
”Congratulations kupo! I’ll just… leave you both to your reunion, I’m sure you have a lot to talk about, I’ll be right here if you need me kupo!”
Though he said that Mog did not actually leave. He simply began floating around the area keeping an eye on his two masters as well as doing various miscellaneous things like playing a flute or banging on a small pair of drums. Serah meanwhile was, as stated to busy blushing at her sisters’ statement to resume her scolding of Mog. Claire had called her pretty; did she hear that right? It was not as if Lighting had never complimented her before of course. But not like this. Not with that expression on her face as if she were admiring her. She was so surprised in fact that she at first did not notice Claire’s move to hug her. But once she did, she smiled warmly and returned her sibling’s embrace with one of her own. Though what she said as they embraced floored her.
‘I’m really happy you turned out so well!’
She had to force herself not to tear up in happiness from the words Claire said. They scored a critical hit on her heart in a very real way. It was the kind of things she always wanted to hear from her sister. She always wanted Lighting to be proud of her, happy for her and what she was. It was all thanks to her and the sacrifices she made to ensure she could grow freely. She would forever be grateful to her for that. But…. It also in a sense made her glad. As worried as she could not help but feel that she deserved this second chance. If anyone in the world deserved a chance to live a peaceful life it was Claire Farron, it was Lighting.
”it’s all thanks to you… or… it was thanks to you, you’re the reason I could become the woman I am today. Thank you… that… means a lot”
She frowned at the mention of there mother. So, the last thing Claire now remembered was that night so long ago. The last time they saw their mother alive. Some kind weird age and memory shift had happened. She did not fully understand the workings of this world yet, but it was already getting more annoying to her than her previous run in with time schengens. She knew the Historia Crux was a pain in the butt to deal with.
”So you really don’t remember anything after…. Well you did a great job keeping to mom’s wishes!
Serah’s efforts to reassure her sister of her future would of course be dashed by Mog quickly popping up behind her with a quickly thrown-
”Lies kupo!”
Which was immediately followed by Serah smothering the little puff ball in her arms.
Why you! You’re really begging for a beating aren’t you!”
Unfortunately for Claire she had not been the only influence Serah’s life. A certain fiancé had been showing through more and more lately alongside the teachings of Lighting. It was… an interesting mix to say the least.
”Don’t listen to him, you were an amazing older sister”
”I never said she wasn’t kupo….”
A glare from the pinkette was enough to bring the moogle back to silence. Just in time for Claire’s question of her age. To which Serah brought a thoughtful hand to her chin, though said thoughts were not regarding her own age.
”I’m twenty two sis. Hmm… if the last thing you remember is the talk with mother then…. Your fifteen right?”
Why was Serah able to decipher her age from that memory? Well after all that was the age…. That both their lives were turned upside down, changed forever. It was the last time they had been able to talk to her.
She was able to smile at her choice of food though, to choose something so simple, it was so Claire. She was sure she was thinking of her when she made the choice.
”Very well stew it is! I brought ingredients back with me, along with my other stuff… we’ve got a pot back and the cabin and we’ll get everything started!’
She gave a wink to her sister, excitement clear in her features. Even if her sister was younger now she was still feeling better. It was time to celebrate! And the best way to do that was a nice meal as a family. She picked up her supplies once more and they were off to begin their meal. On the way back though there was one more surprise in store for Serah, one she really did not want to have to deal with again. One she wanted even less to be anywhere near her sister.
”Oh of course sis! We can have a full tour, they have been through a hard time lately but there steadily recovering and.. C..Caius?!”
Her surprise was evident in her voice, if not the double take she did right after. She had bad memories of the man named Caius, even if she understood his pain. Even if she understood his plight. He had still been a central figure in making her life miserable for a time. Because of that… she was in absolutely no rush to deal with him again.
”D…did you get a last name? Please please please tell me it’s not Ballad!”
Serah was freaking out, worrying. With this weird Crux they were in the version of Caius here, if it was her Caius could be from any point in time. But from any point in time, he was not fond of one person in particular and that was her sister!

Mog could not help but let out a laugh as Claire quite thoroughly began criticizing her older form, though he did his best to hide it lest he receive a good thrashing! According to Claire she looked like her and Serah’s mother. Well, a rough and tumble version of their mother anyway from what she said. Watching Claire so readily critic herself was something he could not find entertaining, she did seem a bit down when she mentioned her mother though but moved on from it to quickly for Mog to try and comfort her, instead giving an understanding nod in response. Luckily, the subject would change to something Mog could really get behind-her magic lessons! He watched on as Claire considered is suggestion of lighting magic, and gave a spin when she decided it was what she wanted to go with!
”Then let’s get going kupo! We have a lot to do if you want to surprise Serah kupo! Now focus, doing magic requires drawing on the energy with in you. Some can do so better and more frequently but were only going to be messing with a basic Thunder spell for now, so you should be able to handle it kupo! So, focus, find your center for me… your energy, then we can continue. The Snow stuff… I tell you what, if you can manage to cast thunder I will tell you kupo! Needless to say though… she still gets into everything she can kupo!”
Giving Claire a clear reward to work towards would also, if he knew her like he thought he did push her even more to successfully pulling off the spell.
”Lighting is probably the most aggressive kupo, even more than fire! Because of that for me it helps to envision a surge going through you, focus that energy outward through your palms kupo, It may be difficult at first but that’s just because your not trained yet, I know you can pull it off kupo! Keep you eye on the prize!’
Mog kept a close eye on the pinkette’s progress as she tried to weave her first spell. Though his suggestion of magic had been a tease on his part he none the less provided her with advice at every turn as she needed it, guiding her until she was able to fire off the spell herself. Once she did well… it was time for her reward then wasn’t it?
’You did amazing kupo! I am proud of my rival kupo! Now then for your reward! Ok so see Snow is Serah’s…..
”Fiancé, Snow is my fiancé, and he is very responsible thank you very much!”
Mog was interrupted by the voice of Serah, unfortunately not the age Claire was hoping for but also in a very Lighting like stern mood.
”Mog, were you about to leak my personal relationship details to my sister? Here I was coming up… all happy you two were teaching her magic, and I hear you ready to spew out all my secrets! Wait… why aren’t you two at the cabin? Mog!!”
Lumina had been absolutely right Mog WAS going along with whatever Claire told him! What if some weird man had come by trying to entrance Clair? Mog couldn’t do a whole lot unless Claire used him to fight back, and she was pretty sure Claire probably lost her fighting skills to from how things were looking! The only response the moogle gave was fleeing behind the now younger very to escape Serah’s wrath, prompting a sigh from the girl herself.
”Sorry sis I know this must all still be confusing for you… I should slow down, look it’s me Serah”
She took her time, putting down the bag of food and supplies she had gathered along the way beside her and leaning down to let Claire examine her so she could be sure herself, pointing at herself so she knew she could do so.
”I’m so sorry it took me a while to get here… as soon as I learned what happened I came right back! Are you feeling ok? Everything is where it should be?”
Serah was every bit as worried about Claire as she had been about her. Of course they were, that was how it had always been.
”Oh how about this! I can make us dinner and we can catch up! We can gather up some firewood… I brought back some supplies to, so I can make whatever you want to eat! Cause don’t you worry I’m still the cooker in this family!”
She gave Claire a warm smile, a caring smile. Care and love only one sister could radiate for the other. She had every intention of helping Claire through this, the same as she had always done for her. She would be there for her, no matter what.

Lighting was her sister; Lumina was her sister. It was only natural that she would want to help them both. That she would want to alleviate anything that afflicted them. They were at their best when they relied on each other after all. So why wouldn’t she worry when her sister was reset? All the progress she had made was undone. She was basically reset to ground zero! They were lucky that he was not thrown slap in the middle of her conflicted stage of life. But still Light had finally come to terms with herself, she was at peace. In the face of that why wouldn’t she be worried? Besides….
She did not want to be the big sister!
But she would if she had to be. She would keep Light and even Lumina safe if that were what she needed to do. For so long it was all they had done for her. In her heart she knew it was exactly what they both deserved. They deserved the freedom to spread their wings and enjoy their lives now. Yes… it was her turn to play the role of the guardian. It was her turn to keep them safe. So that was exactly what she would do.
”It’s my turn, I’m strong enough now… I will just keep you both safe! I know Snow would agree…. When he finds me, we’ll do it together!”
Confidence glittered in Serah’s eyes as she held her hand over her chest. It was her turn to protect her sisters. This time she would be the one to keep them safe and happy. They would all stand by each other… support each other just like their mom wanted. That was all she wanted, to be happy with her family. So, she would make sure that was how it was. This time she would be the guardian, alongside her fiancé.
When a Farron set her mind to something? They got it done!
As Lumina began her rebuke of her suggestion regarding Zel and Snow’s similarities Serah made a very Lumina like move, pacing around her, answering each point she made with one her own.
Lumbering, big
”Brave, Strong”
irresponsible oaf
”Loyal, He will always find me”
With not a care in the world for the future, who has no idea what he's doing!
”Loves me more than anything….always looking out for me, no matter what it costs him”
As she finished her counters she turned on her heel towards Lumina and, with the biggest grin on her face as she finished up her statement.
”If you ask me, just like Zell, It also sounds like much more than a bodyguard you know”
Giggling at the teasing she was throwing Lumina’s she decided to land one more fatal blow her way, a critical hit so to speak.
”Right? What if he got out of your sight sis, what if another girl got him in theres? Oh my…’
Giggling once more at Lumina’s confession she shook her head. Despite the situation saw things quite differently after all.
”I have two wonderful sisters is what I have, who I wouldn’t trade for anything”
Though of course Lumina was bound to get her revenge for all the teasing Serah was giving her, and it was in the most efficient way to. She opened her mouth to try and deny the possibility of Mog going along with whatever chaos her other sister got into but would quickly close her mouth. She had been on an adventure through time with Mog at her side. She knew him quite well as a result. Would Mog go along with that? Was Lumina right?
…yes, he absolutely would.
The result was a now sweating and nervous Serah on the other end of her words. Mysterious cool type that could do anything? That was even worse! What if he was a biker? Or a thief? What if he was hitman for a gang? No no no, no! She had to get back now and sort all of this out, oh she would make definitely a pincushion out of that moogle if he let Claire get into trouble!
”I’ll be back, don’t you leave me ok? I just… have to make sure she’s all settled in that’s all. And safe. And protected… I wonder if I can still command a monster to do it for me… oh but getting the right crystal to manifest can be such a pain… look I will be back ok? Love you sis! Enjoy Zell!”
Yep, she put in one last revenge poke before she turned on her heel and began making her way out on the trip home to Mog and her other sister, waving to her sister until she was out of sight. She may have tried to play it cool, but Lumina had absolutely succeeded in getting to her with her teasing. She was not simply taking a gentle walk from the area, she was running-as fast as those long legs could go! Still she took time to make sure Lumina saw her waving bye, She had no intention of neglecting ether of them after all.

She just called him a hero, a hero? Lighting just called him a hero. The same Lighting who single handedly stomped him into the ground when he challenged her to a fight. Not only that but she was offering him a hug! This was unprecedented! Was he finally being recognized for his great skill? And by one of his masters no less! She was even being cooperative now for some reason…. Truly he must have impressed her greatly! As a result, he would fly right into the younger Farron’s arms. Ah yes this was much better. Being recognized, even getting a Serah tier hug! Maybe this would not be so bad after all! She was even accepting direction, maybe he had overacted at first. The monsters in the area would be no trouble for Claire with him at her side! Besides, he supposed it was better that Lighting became familiar with her surroundings. Something more in depth would surely come once Serah got home.
”That’s me kupo! Top moogle Mog! Let’s go!”
With that the moogle would begin to lead the way out the house and down a path from the back of it, of course though Mog acted like the leader, it was truly Claire leading the way. He made it a point to stay ahead of the younger Farron, any would be bandit or unruly monster would have to get through him to get to Claire!
….That was the idea anyway, truth was he was really only an effective offensive option in his weapon form… which he needed to be wielded in to be of any kind of effective use. Speaking of effective weaponry Claire took interest in the news that she wielded a gunblade as well, to which Mog gave a huff of pride and nodded.
”Not just had, You were a master Kupo! You could use magic to of course, but you were a sight using the gunblade! A one woman army pretty much, an army of one!”
Cool? Of course it was cool, he wished he could do all that! He wasn’t moogle enough for more than a few monsters [overhyping himself] Let alone the armada it seemed like Lighting dealt with on a daily basis. The moogle couldn’t help but chuckle at the younger Claire’s critic of how her hair style went downhill. It seemed Claire was once way more into her appearance, or at the very least into making herself look nice. Such a thought was quite entertaining to the moogle.
”Yep kupo! In your defense, you went all in protecting Serah, one couldn’t really blame you for neglecting yourself kupo!”
And then Claire asked the magic question, she wanted to know just what her adult form looked like. The moogle wasn’t lying, that was a simple enough spell to perform! The moogle did a spin in the air before pointing his clock topped wand to a spot just in front of Serah. A burst of pink magic and POOF the adult Claire would appear in all her glory in front of her. At first the figure simply wore her classic attire, but would shift into the attire she wore as a servant of Etro as well as what she wore on her final journey. Though it wasn’t the real thing Claire would even get to see a copy of the gunblade she used when she was older.
”So what do you think Kupo? Badass right? Oh, you can see your hair for yourself to kupo, sorry, Did I mention you could make monsters do your bidding? Not sure if you still can kupo”
If she could well… every method to protect her was a good thing, right? In this scenario thought… there were just too many factors to say for sure.
Mog was more that happy to teach what he could about magic, though the second part of Claire’s statement got a shake of denial from the moogle, yes, he had to dash that mischief in her form
”If theirs one thing I can guarantee, It’s that Serah knows everything there is to know about ‘Claire Farron’ unfortunately for you, You and Snow are the most important people in her life, that will simply never change kupo. Though whether she’s still used to it….”
The moogle paused, realizing his mistake as sweat formed on his face.
”…You don’t remember Snow do you kupo? Oh boy…. Well, he’s not around right now anyway”
The moogle then gave a spin, trying to change the subject with the excitement of magic!
”What do you want to learn first kupo? I can teach you the basics, though probably only a few things before Serah gets here, we will need to focus on your favorites kupo! Maybe Lighting magic?”
Yes that was a tease on Mog’s part, one Claire probably wouldn’t get anymore, but oh well! It was enough for the faithful little moogle!

So, she was really the only one noticing anything was wrong? Even Lumina was oblivious to what she had seen right in front of her eyes. But Serah knew she was not crazy. Just like she knew she wasn’t crazy when Lightning disappeared. It was just fine if no one believed her this time, because she knew the truth. She would figure out what was going wrong here and if she could, she would fix it. She could only be thankful that it was not so major that someone had vanished from her life like before. No lives had been shattered by this shift in the timeline. It only caused confusion so far, a confusion it seemed only she was meant to feel. But that was ok. The solution was simple right? All she had to do was take care of her sisters. The same way they had always taken care of her. It was time to put Claire Farron first for once. She would stand with her sisters. She would make sure she were ok. No matter what, She would protect her family.
’Well then I guess everything’s just fine then, sorry sis”
She could not help but giggle at the distinction Lumina made. If Light was effected like Lumina was it was possible she had regressed to when she was simply ‘Claire’. She hoped not of course, but she couldn’t deny it would make things simpler. After all a Lightning with the body she had at the age of fifteen but the mind her older self didn’t bode well for anyone.
"Yeah I suppose it is, maybe you tep won't be at each others throats like this hmmm?"
She teased her sister with a playful wink. If nothing else that was a positive. At least Claire would get along with herself for once. She was defenlty going to laugh if they both started talking about how mean or boring her older self was.
The younger farron sighed. Lumina was right, on all accounts. Even more so if Light's mentality had regressed. But that presented a problem.for her. There was no way she could abandon ether of them. But she knew Lumina woudn't be deterred from her adventure, nor would Light just accept going along.
"Sis.... what do I do? In her condition I can't just leave her but... I can't leave you ether... Abandoning ether of you isn't an option... I don't know what to do"
One could se in her features how lost she was. Something always occurred to dash things when they were going well. Coudn't they all just enjoy a fun little trip without some disaster occuring?
Then Lumina got to the part that struck a cord on Serah, an ironic cord. The idea of some burly brute taking advantage of her youngified sister was unacceptable! She absolutly would NOT let that happen! The pinkette became noticibly panicked in this, moving back and forth as she kept talking to herself about how she sould 'clock that brute'
"Nuh uh, no way! no ones taking advantage of MY sister like that! especially not in the vulnerable state shes in now! I'll clobber any guy who tries! Give them a taste of my firaga yeah!"
No Serah was not seeing the irony in her words or actions, as consumed as she was in the thought of protecting her sister from.the 'big brutish men'. If Snow was here he'd probaly be getting flashbacks of a certain older sister!
When she did finally calm herself she eyed the key Lumina had given her, listenjngly closely as she talked to her. That would make things a bit easier. Though it still left her uneasy in general. Still it meant Loght would have a place to stay if nothing else-that was something she preferred. She pulled Lumina into a hug in response and smiled. Despite how she acted to others she really was such a caring big.... little...
Sister, she was a caring sister.
"Thank you so much sis, It means a lot"
She didn't miss Lumina's smirk however, or what she was getting st with it. Poking her now shorter sister playfully Serah gave her own playful smile.
"Laugh all you want sis, remeber you have your own Snow now to!"

”Kupo, Right? You’re the older sister after all, must feel like you’ve traded places!”
The moogle was trying to take things slow with the now younger farron, ease her into things so she was not overwhelmed, do his best not to get knocked around by a stray piece of wood because she upset Lighting. All life goals particularly important to his heart right now! Of course, such goals were difficult to keep when her once master went straight into questions about Serah’s comments on her age. Mog was not about to lie of course, doing so would do more harm than good. There was the small matter of getting Lighting to believe him though.
”Well kupo… We have not figured out why but…. For some reason you have regressed in age and memory to your current… age. A few minutes ago your hair was more unruly, clothes more badass… oh and your chest was bigger! Body in general really kupo! I know that is hard to believe kupo but hear me out! You could tell that was your sister right? She is worried about you… knowing her she’s probably on her way back already kupo. So, if we could just sit on around… wait... I’ve got some moogle stories I could tell you!”
Claire’s response came as expected, likely causing a comical scene if anyone had been watching in where Mog could only nod in response.
”That’s right, yes kupo”
He then thought about it, an idea sparked in his head. With a spin he waved his wand in the air.
”I know a bit of magic kupo! I could show you what you looked like and…
And Lighting wanted to go outside instead. Oh, he recognized that look and tone. That was her ‘this isn’t really a question’ tone. He could tell even if he tried to stop her, she was going to go outside, the only hope he really had of trying to keep an eye on her until Serah got back then was…
To go with her…. Serah was going to make a pincushion out of him, wasn’t she? There was no winning with these two! On top of it all Lighting would be going blind if he didn’t go, what was a moogle to do?
”Ok ok kupo! But.. we cannot go TO far, ok? Serah’s coming back remember? Kupo… I’ll just have to be your guide, let’s go kupo” At least he could try and not become a pincushion at Lighting’s hands...
”Usually I do this for Serah, but if we run into trouble I can become a weapon for you to defend yourself kupo! We should be fine but... better safe than sorry kupo, besides I don’t know where Serah put your gunblade”
Why did he swear his loyalty to these to again? The life of a moogle was pain….!

Usually, Lumina was the one that messed with others, but this time? It was all her! Serah giggled at the reaction she got from her sister. It was fun to see the great Claire all flustered. Though she was right about one thing. It was a thing that did concern her. The woman named Claire Farron, Whether Lumina or Lighting had never been on a date in her life. She had been to absorbed in raising Serah after all, to absorbed in keeping her safe. It was a fact that was just as true for both halves of the complete woman. Meanwhile Serah had been on several dates with Snow, some of those dates were adventurous and some were them just hanging out and watching the fireworks. But what they all had in common was… they just did what made them happy, whatever they enjoyed doing together. That was why, with a gentle smile on her face the only advice she could offer her frantic older sister was:
”Just do what makes you happy, no matter what anyone else thinks. Your together. That is what matters. No matter what you are doing just enjoy it, together… even if its just a simple walk or going out to eat. That’s the secret of dating!”
To those who knew it couldn’t be any clearer that she was thinking of her and Snow when she said that. If it wasn’t obvious enough the hand on her cheek and content sigh, she let out made it crystal clear! She missed her love more than anything. But she knew they would find their way to each other again, they always did. For now, she was content with helping her sister and new friend in their love lives. What kind of sister would she be if she did not?
Of course, her sister’s next move was to move on to her problems. She WAS Claire after all. Serah knew full well that split or not, less strict or more any Claire would put her worries before their own. No matter how Serah tried to make it otherwise. Even so she uh… was still a bit hungry now that she thought about it.
”If you wouldn’t mind? I’ll probably keep stumbling around until I find it or walk out the air chute otherwise’
Sure, she chuckled, but given her track record a result like that probably wasn’t to far from the truth sadly. Given that Zell was going with them though… It meant she could continue with Serah’s patented dating advice! Well… If Lumina needed it anyway. She was the big sister here after all. She could just chime in with advice whenever needed.
…….
Did Lumina just spin it so Serah was there for her date with Zell? …God she was crafty! Unfournatly for Lumina Zell’s jab at the end opened the gate for Serah to start anew, and boy did she.
”We’ll the perfect spot for you both! Somewhere romantic, with a great view and delightful food… ah.. a place for the perfect kiss! It’ll be so romantic!”
Serah then left the leading to Lumina and followed behind. Yes, this would be a wonderful day! A day of fun, a day of joy, A day of romance! ….A day of unlimited teasing!
Post by Serah Farron on Mar 31, 2021 11:12:17 GMT -6
Ok so, it didn’t seem like Lumina had lost her memory. Or at least the amnesia she was experiencing hadn’t just completely reset her to a childhood state. She remembered Zell after all, who she had never met before coming to this world as an adult. She could only HOPE the same could be said for Light when she got back to ‘her.
”Well… um… I’m sure he’s having a good time around here. Your… sure you don’t feel off or any…”
She was interrupted by her sister and if she was being honest, she wasn’t sure if Lumina new her predicament and was messing with her, she was to excited to get going to care or if she really did just have this weird case of amnesia. Or some combination of all three. Of course, this WAS Lumina so she quickly learned that if something seemed impossible or improbable then in her case it was likely what had happened. It helped that she had first hand experience with the effects of messing with time. Still no one, with the possible exception of Caius and the other Yeul’s should be able to access the flow of time at this point right? At least that was what she had assumed. It was also possible that being able to do so was yet another annoying difference in this world. But who would mess with Claire’s fate like this? The list of people past and present who would want revenge on her was admittedly big but… she couldn’t imagine any of them would settle for just making her a child again. Even if they did she was PRETTY certain they shouldn’t be able to access a time gate to do so, let alone travel them.
What was going on?
”I’d love to get a full tour sis, you… you aren’t just… no nevermind”
Thinking about it, she wouldn’t make a joke about something so important, at least not to her. She would no as well as anyone all the things they had been through, memory loss was not something to joke about. Memories were important.
”Yes, I’d love a tour later”
...Even if the cryptic way she asked if she needed to do anything left her with the smallest bit of suspicion. If nothing else she could tell their was nothing wrong with her health. She could only hope she wouldn’t be buying bottles and toddler supplies next time she blinked. As much as she didn’t like the idea of leaving her on her own she seemed to have everything together despite her changed stature. This wasn’t something she could yet say was the case for Light. She still had time before they left, time enough to go visit and make sure she was ok… perhaps she could even bring her along with them. If they were going to be like this a while, that would by far be the preferable option.
”I’ll need to make sure Light is ok before we head out, especially with these… developments just now… I’m worried about her. In her current condition I not sure Mog will be enough to take care of her. If it’s not to much trouble I’d… like to bring her with us to keep her safe. Before I knew Mog could keep her safe from your average monster but.. alone.. with Light as a child…”
She sighed, shaking her head.
”I know she’s not your favorite person but… Well, you both always took care of me, it’s only right I do the same with you both now right?”
She paused a moment, making sure to add at the end.
”You should… go on a date… or a walk.. with Zell while I’m gone! Yeah… anything just… with Zell, I won’t be around to embarrass you right?”

Even as a kid, Lighting was scary. She could tell even if she wasnt being to serious about it quite yet... oh boy. She was already going to hear it from Serah as is! The question was... was Lightining scarier as an adult or a child?
...He didnt want to know the answer to that actually.
The way she talked though.. it defently wasnt a simple case of Lightining being shrunken for some reason. Their was something else going on here.
....
He was going to have to protect his rival now wasnt he?
"Your moms a smart woman kupo! You and your sister can get through anything together kupo! As for ummm letting her go kupo, of course! I'd never let Serah go off alone kupo, shes with a friend! in fact I can get ahold of her right now!"
Where were they? How long had she been out? This was a game of twenty twenty poor Mog just wasnt prepared for! Did he say everything up front now? Wait until Serah got back?
"Well kupo, you've been out for a while.. a few days at least now? as for where we are..."
She was interrupted by a buzzing on his wand. Speak of the devil it was the SECOND scary sister. Which he then produced a small , recorded image of before them, the sight of which would likely shock the smaller Serah.
And so began the terror that was Serah Farron.
"Mog, why is my sister currently a child?"
The image of an older Serah stated while pointing towards the younger Claire frantically.
Mog sweated, unsure of what to say in response, instead moving back and forth for a moment. Part of him wished Serah had been hit by whatever bug this was to, at least then he could handle things better!
"Kupo it wasnt me! She just woke up like this kupo!"
No way she was believing this but it was the truth! He just woke up and POOF little Lightining!
"Ah! I have to go, look I'll be back soon until then take VERY good care of my sister ok Mog? I trust you, I believe in you, but don't worry TO much... my new little sister will just have a new stuffed animal if you don't"
Annnnd she was gone, he did NOT want to become Lighting's stuffed animal. Which meant he now had to keep her safe. How exaclty? The only way....
Aha! He'd let her use his weapon form when they went out! Not the.. best solution but their wasnt much else he could do kupo! Surely if Serah of all people could learn to use her Lighting here woudnt have trouble relearning ether!
....right?
The moogle sighed, the returned his attention back to the now younger Farron sister.
"Kupo... You have a lot of questions now right kupo? first just in case... yes that's Serah kupo, I promise"
Golly, he remembered when his job was just being a strong moogle, those were the days...

W...was the Historia Crux messing with her? Did it do that sort of thing? Despite using it for so long Serah was far from an expert on it. No matter the case something odd was going on here. Claire had shrunken down and Serah coudnt explain why. She remembered going through something similar, albeit temporaly on her journey through time. Though it wasnt... quite to this extreme ether. Claire seemed worried for Light to, though she wasnt entirely sure why? But... the two shared a connection-she wasnt about to question people who were two sides of a whole. Luckly she also had a connection, with said moogle!
Several minutes later....
"Mog, why is my sister currently a child?"
Serah had irritation all over her face. That 'about to discipline her students' mood was in full force right now.
"Kupo! It wasnt me! She just woke up like this kupo!"
Did this make her the big sister now? .....
.....
Nope no, nuh uh. They were finding a way to fix... whatever this was. ...what if she was affected next? HOW WOULD SHE MARRY SNOW IF SHE WAS A BIND SIZED BRAT AGAIN.
...not that Lightining was currently a brat... oh no she'd have to call them both Claire now.
...Oh no, this was going to get so confusing.
Composing herself as best she could, Serah stated very clealry and with an expression Mog could praticully FEEL trying to burn into him:
"Take VERY good care of my sister ok Mog? I trust you, I believe in you, but don't worry TO much... my new little sister will just have a new stuffed animal if you don't"
Yeah, Serah was raised by Lightining after all. It was only natural, and ironic that she had taken on her protective qualities in some forms.
That was when things got worse with Claire, so Serah quickly cut the connection with Mog, leaving it at that and rushing over to Claire's side as she fainted-catching her at the last second. She looked over her sister with worry. What had happened to them? Why was this happening? ...Did she have to raise two sisters now? Well she was good with kids....
Then Claire's eyes opened and things got even more confusing. What happened? Someone was messing with them that's what. She didn't know how, she didn't know why but she DID know she was going to punch it in the face when she found it!
....ok so Lighting AND Snow influenced her, a lot.
What was important though was that Claire seemed to have forgotten what they were just talking about! Did that happen to Light to? She had to check on her! But... Claire was her sister to, she coudnt just leave her like this, Mog could handle this right?
No, he had BETTER!
"We were but ummm Sis do you not remeber what just happened? Look at yourself your... smaller you know?"
She didnt know whether to play it safe or be as forward as possible right now.
