General POV
There was nothing more dangerous in the world than this event. This day that occurred every time of this year. The guild had faced the Lullaby, Phantom lord, Daphne, The fighting festival, Tenrou island and the grand magic games together.
These were all things that guild faced together. But nothing could match; the adrenaline, the hype, fear and most of all the excitement of this day.
What was this day? It was Cana Alberona's birthday.
The guild had parties often, most of them turning up on headlines more often than not. Mainly for the destructive antics of Makarov brats. But that is Fairy Tail.
But those were like mere kid fights compared to the party that was beheld on her birthday.
You would think on this day you would find them at the guild. But no, for this day was planned for months. It would be held in the main park of Magnolia for where all could see.
The park was long and wide. In the middle of the park were tables going along ways joined end to end for the fairy tail mages. Off at the sides you would find stands of foods and drinks and games and such like you would see at a carnival overflowing with people.
Seems peaceful, right?
Give it half an hour.
This day was so well known, and so well celebrated that all schools and shops shut down for the day. And for good reasons.
Makarov Dreyar stood on top of the last table overlooking the whole park where people had gathered picnic blankets and were waiting for the day to start. His brats milling around in a loud obnoxious roar, this would be nothing compared to by the end of the day.
He smiled softly. Hopefully this will turn out better than last year he mused, pulling softly at his moustache turning it upwards at the end. Last year was terrible with the amount of damages his guild had caused, but he was thankful it wasn't 'that' brat who had set fire to the public library this time. This time. That was the towns people he was proud to say. But still the amount of money he had to pay to fix the damages they were the cause of had him being rushed to the infirmary minutes after the bill, he had a stroke. But he felt fine and he had hope that Mavis was on his side this time.
"Okay as we are all now gathered here on this day together, let's welcome the birthday brat; Cana!" He yelled. Cana walked over to stand next to him beaming proudly, the guild people and civilians bursting out in cheers before singing happy birthday. Finishing up the song Makarov spoke again, he watched had more people filled around taking spots on the grass fighting over the closeted spot to the guild tables. You could barely see a patch of grass left. "As we know this day celebrates Cana's birthday, and we shall participate in whatever game she chooses, but I think we all know what this. A drinking contest. This is a guild only competition" He eyed a few mischievous teenager boys out the corners of his eye. "So go find a partner we begin in sixty seconds, GO NOW!"
