1st Crystal

[Oerba, Vanille's dear home town. What would have happened if she and Fang never became l'Cie? Well she can very well experience it now. There she was, just a normal girl from Gran Pulse. Though tougher than the average human girl which came from living around many large beasts, she was sans powers, abilities, summons, and tattoos.

She sits upon a concrete railing and looks outwards at the mountainous scenery, smiling wistfully and swinging her legs delicately. There are Oerbian people walking around, bustling, laughing, and being a large family with each other.

A little robot comes rolling up to Vanille, making a little noise. The girl looks down at it]

Bhakti!

[She looks over at it and pulls it up with her on the concrete ledge.]

Here to give me some company?

[She giggles, but she knows this isn't her place. She knows this isn't her reality. She knows she's curled up next to Fang in a crystal stasis, dreaming forever with her friends all right and saved and she's all right with that.]

Vanille looked over at him, peering through the grass. "There's lots! I could show you all of the robots and stuff, too!" she giggled.

She pointed into the sky at a large sphere.

"That's Cocoon" she said. It was actually whole this time. This was as if the damage of Ragnarok had never been done.

"Lots of people live there away from Pulse. Maybe we could go there sometime, too! I'll take you to all sorts of places!"

"There's a city up there?! No way!" Naruto exclaimed, looking up at it. The sphere was huge---he wondered how high up it was and how many people were in it. Did they live up there to stay away from all the animals?

"Yeah! Lets totally go there sometime!" He pumped a fist into the air. "Sounds like a ball! Get it? Hahaha!"

The animals and the people.

"Hahahaha! I get it!" she giggled. "We'll go! And it'll be so much fun! Go to Nautilis, Palumpolum, and Bohdum! We can look at the firework show and go to the amusement park!"

She reached over and took Naruto's hand. "I hope you come back soon! I know I'll always be here"

"H-heh! Sure!" Naruto grinned sheepishly back at her. But, for some reason, his vision became fuzzy... and, in Vanille's grasp, Naruto's hand slipped away, becoming transparent, until finally...

"...See ya."

And the blond hero disappeared. Around her, Gamakichi and Gamatatsu had also vanished, leaving Vanille in the Springs alone.
