~3rd Person POV~

Arriving at Wiz's Chocobo Post made Prompto bounce even higher in his seat. When the car came to a stop, the blonde hopped out and ran to the nearest Chocobo. He immediately began running his hands through the bird's yellow feathers with a goofy smile on his face.

The others went to talk with Wiz while Prompto continued to run around, visiting all the Chocobos. When he spotted a Chocobo in a pen, he saw she was lonely. He carefully approached the bird and sat in front of her. The Chocobo saw him sitting and laid down with her eyes on him.

"Aw, you look like you need a hug," he sweetly said and opened his arms. The Chocobo leaned her head down and nuzzled into his arms. Prompto laughed as her soft feathers glided over his skin. She chirped happily and closed her eyes in bliss.

"Prom, we've gotta go," Noctis said. The blonde began to pout once he learned he was leaving. "Aw, Noct! Can ya do one hunt without me?" He asked in a desperate tone. Noctis sighed and placed a hand on his hip. "Don't make us wait."

Prompto slumped forward with a sad sigh. "I don't wanna..."

"Prompto!" Gladio yells. He flinched at the harsh tone and got to his feet. The Chocobo also got to her feet and followed him. He exited the pen with another sad sigh. Before he could walk away, the female Chocobo grabbed him by his jacket. He stopped in his tracks and looked over his shoulder at her. Prompto gave her a reassuring smile. "I'll see ya when I get back, promise!" He wrapped his arms around her neck to give her one last hug. She chirped happily and watched him as he left.

-A Day Later-

The group has returned to the Chocobo Post to report their successful hunt. Prompto jumped with joy as he ran over to the the pen where his favorite Chocobo should be. His happiness fell when he saw she wasn't in her normal spot. Wiz saw the boy's sad look and stood next to him.

"I was gonna ask y'all if you could look for (Y/n). She's the Chocobo you're looking for, right?"

Prompto nods with worried eyes. "What happened to her?"

"Well, a man rented her for a few days. When he came back earlier than planned, he said he was attacked by a horde of Voretooths. Poor girl darted and hasn't been seen since."

"We'll find (Y/n) for you!" Prompto proclaims. Wiz smiles and pats Prompto on the back. "I appreciate it." The blonde ran over to his companions and told them of Wiz's request.

"Wasn't that the Chocobo you were really friendly with?" Gladio asked. Prompto nodded and began to beg. "I don't see why we couldn't," Ignis said. They headed to the Regalia and headed to where the man was ambushed. Ignis parked the car and everyone got out to walk the rest of the way.

"I hope she's okay," Prompto worried. He fiddled with a potion in his pocket that he brought along incase the poor frightened Chocobo was injured. "I'm sure she's--"

A high pitch scream silenced the prince. All four sprinted in the direction the scream came from. They pushed through dense foliage and found a girl being chased by Voretooths. Summoning their weapons, the group began taking care of the monsters. Prompto saw one of the Voretooths still chasing after the girl. He shot at the monster until it changed its attention from her to him. Noctis soon joined his best friend and annihilated the last Voretooth.

Prompto ran in the direction the girl disappeared in. He found her breathing heavily and leaning against a tree. "Are you okay?" He asked. The girl snapped around and looked at him with wide eyes. "Y-you're the boy who... never mind. Yes, I'm alright."

Prompto smiled in relief and sighed. "That's good to hear." A strange feeling soon came over him. It felt as if he knew this girl. Her kind eyes reminded him of a certain Chocobo. "Oh! You wouldn't happened to have seen a Chocobo in this area, have you?" Prompto saw the girl tense at the question. She shook her head and took a step back. "N-no, I'm sorry."

His whole form delved into sadness. The girl noticed and walked over to Prompto. She placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Did you like this Chocobo?" She asked. Prompto looked up with a small nod. "Yeah, I was hoping to buy her from Wiz. She's really calm and loves hugs." A smile graced his face as he spewed on about the bird. The girl giggles and smiles. She took his hands in hers and stared into his blue eyes with her (e/c) ones.

"What would you do... if I said I knew the Chocobo you were speaking of?"

Prompto was taken aback at her question. He titled his head a little in confusion. When he looked into her eyes more closely, he could see the eyes of the sweet Chocobo he met. "What's... what's your name?" He finally managed to ask.

"... (Y/n)."

His body froze at her response. If what Prompto was thinking about is correct, then the girl standing in front of him is the missing Chocobo. (Y/n) let go of his hands, making Prompto sad. She took a few steps back, a bright light surrounding her body. When the light dissipated, a Chocobo stood where (Y/n) once was.

"I-I've heard of people like you. They can take the shape of any animal that they touch," he said.
(Y/n) chirped in response and fluffed her feathers. Without hesitating, Prompto threw his arms around her neck and hugged her tightly. She chirped happily and nuzzled her cheeks against his. Prompto laughed and rubbed the back of her neck.

He pulled away and looked into her eyes. "Could... could you change back?" He asked kindly. She nods and changes back into her human self. Prompto didn't hesitate to hug (Y/n) again. Her small frame fitted perfectly in his arms.

"Prompto, what about Wiz? I was taken in by--"

Prompto put a finger over her lips to silence her. He smiled and threaded her (h/c) locks through his fingers. "I'm not sending you back to that pen. I'll tell Wiz that you were killed by the horde of Voretooths."

"But, what about your friends?"

"That... I will have to think about. But for now, let's get out of these woods," he said and grabbed one of her small hands in his. They exited the woods and spotted the Regalia.

"I'm a little nervous," (Y/n) admits. Prompto pats her on the head with a smile.

"Don't worry, they'll love you."
