Aniella is 7 by this point in the story. She was born slightly before the 7 year time skip along with her childhood friend that's going to be making an appearance throughout the story, and more so when the get older.

Aniella also sees Eve as an older brother and Hibiki is like an uncle to her.

I hopped down the stairs. I was lucky. I had a loving family and very good friends. Both of my parents come from different guilds. It made it hard to choose between Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus. I knew it was up to me, but I couldn't choose between either one of my parents. I loved both very dearly.

I was close to the bottom of the stairs when I tripped over my own two feet. "Ouch," I muttered getting back up. Mom did say that I got my klutziness from her cousin, Chelia.

I walked into the kitchen and smiled. I ran over and hugged my daddy. "Hi daddy," I said as I slid onto his lap.

My parents laughed.

I looked between them. "What? What did I do? Is there something on my face?" I looked back towards daddy. He brushed my hair behind my hair making me giggle.

My father smiled. "You and you mother act alike," dad said smiling at mom.

Mom brought over breakfast for daddy and I. I saw mom smile. "In what ways?" She asked sitting down watching us.

"Many ways," daddy answered drinking some coffee. "Slow down, Aniella. You don't want to choke do you?"

I shook my head. "I guess not," I answered once I finished chewing. "Aren't you having anything to eat mommy?" I asked giggling as daddy messed with my hair.

Mommy giggled watching us. "I already had something while you two were still sleeping."

I finished eating.

"Which guild are you planning on going to, angel?"

"Blue Pegasus," I answered giddily. I smiled big.

Daddy ruffled my hair. "Go finish getting ready. We'll be leaving shortly."

I nodded as I bounced off my dad's lap and bounded up the stairs.

I skipped ahead of my parents with a book in hand.

"Aniella slow down a bit," my mother called.

I turned and smiled. "I'm sorry. I'm just really excited to finish this book that Hibiki got me for my birthday."

I noticed my father sigh. "He spoils you, and it's not necessarily a good thing."

I giggled. "Hibiki isn't that bad is he? I mean he's like family to me. There's nothing wrong with that is there?" I smiled.

My father shook his head. "I just don't think he's a good influence on you at this age."

"How are you not influencing her while not on a mission with the other members of the Trimens? I think she's already influenced by all of you," Mom spoke making dad jump somewhat.

Mom and I laughed. "Eve and Hibiki aren't bad influences on me. I turned out fine for a seven year old didn't I dad?" I asked after I stopped laughing.

He smiled at me and nodded. "You turned out just fine for girls your age."

I jumped on my father's back and smiled. I pecked him on the cheek. "Thank you daddy."

"Just behave yourself."

"I will." I smiled over at mom. "Mom, do I really have to go to Lamia Scale before I can go to Blue Pegasus? I get the feeling that she doesn't quite like me."
Mom brushed some stray bangs out of my face. "Yes you do, sweetheart. Are you sure that there's not another reason why you don't want to come to Lamia Scale?"

I blushed. "There's not another reason," I muttered under my breath. I slid off my dad's back and walked quietly behind them.

Dad looked over at mom. "Another reason? What reason would that be?"

"Lyon and Atsuko's son gives her a bad time about having parents from different guilds and gets to her. I think he might have a crush on her and that's why he teases her to show her how he feels. He somewhat reminds of you when you asked for my hand. You would do anything to ask."

"It worked didn't it? And we have a beautiful daughter because of it."

"That we do." I heard mom giggle.

I smiled at the thought that I was special to my parents.

"Be good for your mother before you come over to Blue Pegasus," my father told me. "And don't let that boy bother you."

I nodded. "I will. I won't. I'll see you in a bit."
