eureka

A short drabble fic. I own nothing.

Yuni was a bright girl. She knew things a normal four year old child doesn't. She was too mature for her own age, yet, she was very kind and her smile could equal the beaming sunlight of the day, according to those who stayed by her side.

For her to ask questions was a rarity. She seemed to know everything after all. So when she asked Aria about the Greek Philosopher Archimedes, the latter had a share of momentary shock which was later replaced with a kind smile that always hung on her mesmerizing beautiful face.

"What about Archimedes do you want to know, Yuni?" Aria had asked her with her usual gentle voice as she stroked Yuni's dark green locks lovingly.

"Why did he run on the city naked?" Yuni, almost immediately, presented her question. Aria halted all movements and chuckled then.

"Because he was immensly happy, my dear."

Yuni looked at her, her huge slanted cerulean orbs gleamed in what one could guess as curiousity. "Why was he immensly glad then?"

"Because he had found out something no one was able to. It was a spark of the moment. What he found out was of great importance. So great that he did not become embarrassed when he ran out naked for the public to see as he screames 'Eureka' on the top of his lungs."

Yuni stayed quiet. She wanted her mother to speak more. To explain more. Aria giggled at her daughter's antics.

"Basically, what he found out have helped improve our science today. It is exactly what you call a 'Eureka moment'. Eureka means 'I have found it' in greek."

Yuni looked at her own hands and murmured, "I have found it..." she then proceeded to look up, "Mother, do you think that I, too, would be able to have a 'Eureka moment'?"

Aria nodded her head, "Of course. Everyone would have that moment in a certain point of their journey in life. You would have it too."

"Does that mean that I would run across the city naked?"

Aria sweat dropped. "No dear, you won't and I won't let that happen. What do you think would you do when you are immensly happy?"

Yuni pondered, her index finger placed on her tiny lips. Aria chuckled once again. Her daughter was too cute. She then proceeded let her forehead touch with her daughter's. Deep cerulean blue meets the equally deep cerualean blue.

"You know, mother thinks that you would pull out the most brightest smile that you could ever have!" Aria rubbed the tip of her nose against Yuni's.

"That tickles, mother!" Yuni childishly giggled and her mother pecked her on the nose.

"That's why, always smile Yuni! "

Yuni nodded enthusiastically.

"What are you moping about, Princess? Not when we're already heading out. " Gamma looked at her, a smile on his handsome face as he caressed the other.

Yuni's tears was an unstoppable stream. She still could not imagine that anyone would be joining her when she would have to leave the world. For so long that she had dreamed at her enivitable death all alone just like her mother and grand mother.

She looked up at the older. Deep cerulean meets the submissive light turquoise. Her eyes widened slightly. She could feel it. The immense happiness had welled up inside her heart.

She have found it. Her 'Eureka moment'.

"You know, mother thinks that you would pull out the most brightest smile that you could ever have!"

Her lips stretched to form a smile while the tears continuously slid off her cheeks. She leaned towards Gamma.

"Ittekimasu."

And she felt herself complete and not afraid any longer.
