"Fate?" The child answers with confident.
"Correct. Fate is a very beautiful thing, but it can be very sad and terrifying." The mother said.
"Why?" The child asks.
"Do you not remember where you father from and cannot live here with us?" The woman asks.
"Yes mama." The child answers.
"Your father cannot be here often, he only came here on the important days." The woman says sadly.
"Doesn't papa love us?" The child asks.
"Very much, my dear." The mother answers with a smile.
"Then why doesn't papa come and live with us or visit more?" The child asks.
"Fate is the answers my dear. Fate is the answers to what we do." The woman said.
"Then will papa come today?" The child asks.
"Of courses, you know that he will come. It your birthday after all." The woman said with a bright smile.
"Yay!" The child screams of joy and runs around the garden.
"I am not done yet." The woman laugh as she tries to clams her child down.
"Mama..!" The child pouted that made her mother laugh harder.
"There something I must tell you." The woman said in a serious tone.
"Mama..." The child said knowing that what her mother going to say is very important.
"If anything happen to either me or papa do not forget you are never alone. No matter how far we are, we are watching over you. Never forget that." The woman said seriously.
"Mama?" The child asks in confusion.
"My dearest child you are special. Not just to me, but in everyone else eyes. You are the light to everyone else life, never forget to smiles. There are times you must cry, but it will never be for yourself but for others. You have the abilities to protect the ones you care for. Do not forget that your abilities are from your heart not your greed. Never forget." The woman said.
"Mama, I still don't understand." The child said.
"You will understand when the time is right, now let go inside and get ready for your party." The woman said.

Realities
-Ring-
"Ugh 5 more minutes" I said as I turn off my alarm clocks.
"Mai wake up!" Ayako yells.
"Just a little more." I said putting my head under the pillows.
"Come on Mai" Ayako said and pulls me off the bed.
"Ok I'm up!" I said. Ayako have adopted me when the tea addicted narcissus jerk dumbed me saying that I'm in love with his twin, even I'm in love with him. He may be smart but he is horrible when there something due with emotion.
"Mai?" Ayako asks.
"Ayako my heart hurt." I said and tears started to falls.
"Mai, what's wrong sweetie?" Ayako asks.
"I don't know, but I can't stop crying." I reply. I feel like I have forgotten something important. Something that I really care about. Yet I cannot grab it.
"It ok sweetie, it probably a bad dream from the last case." Ayako said hugging me and rubbing my back.
"Thanks Ayako, you always there for me. You have been a great mom." I said. Ayako had tried here best being a mom, she been learning how to cook and cleans. She stated that "I am now a mom I should at least learn to make onigiri! (Onigiri = Japanese rice ball)
"Of course, I work my butt off just for you. That is why you going to accept whatever I give you. As a mom she must provide whatever necessary for her children." Ayako states.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to waste money just on me." I said with guilt.
"It not a waste Mai and the old man need to put the money in good use not in unnecessary stuff." Ayako said.
"I guess that true." I said. Monk and Ayako have been married for 3 years now. Monk actually adopted me first since Ayako married to monk she is not my adopted mother.
"I cannot believe he bought an f*cking cello and violin when he can't even play it!" Ayako screams in horror remembering all those squeaking noises that made by Monk with his violin and cellos.
"I must admit that it I heard a kid did better than him" I said with a laugh.
"That right! He should just quit even trying." Ayako said.
"If you done commenting on my classical music why not come down and have breakfast." Monk said gently but everyone can tell that he's mad.
"Great let go eat Mai." Ayako said and dragging me out of bed with her.
"Maybe you should cook once in a while and put those cooking class of yours into use!" Monk said angrily.
"I volunteer myself of making breakfast today but you say it was ok!" Ayako screams back.
"YEAH I LET YOU DO SOME COOKING IF YOU STOP EXPLODING EVERYTHING YOU MAKE!" Monk screams.
"THAT'S REASON WHY I'M TAKING CLASSES OLD MAN!" Ayako screams.
"THEN START CLEANING INSTEAD OF HIRING MAIDS!" Monk screams back.
"I'M TRYING YOU OLD MAN!" Ayako screams.
The augment goes on….
