"Honey, where are you going? Its getting dark outside" asked the Queen of Fiore, Layla Heartfilia to her cute little daughter. "Mama! Mama! They said, the stars gonna fall tonight. I want to watch them nearby the Mount Altana" said Lucy Heartfilia with her excited face. "It is shooting stars, dear." Layla corrected her daughter's words. "Wait a second Lucy, who are 'they' actually?" her mum asked again. "Uhmm.. they are.. our Imperial guard!" answered Lucy, tried to hide something. Layla felt hesitant for a while but then she said "Alright you can watch them but..." Lucy looked at her mum in the eyes and started to listen carefully. "Make sure you ask the Imperial guard to escort you and always alert with your time, princess. You have an etiquette lesson tomorrow." Layla tried to put all her trust in her lovely daughter. Lucy nodded quickly with innocent face. "Thanks mum!" shouted Lucy cheerfully.
That night was colder and longer than usual, maybe the winter will start soon. With a blue dress and a white jacket to keep Lucy warm, she sat quietly in the royal carriage next to the window and stared at the moon. The bleak moonlight made the stars shined so bright on the dim sky. "Why the moon look sad?" suddenly Lucy broke the silent. While rode the horse, the guard giggled for a second and answered her "maybe the moon feel lonely". "Lonely?" Lucy kept wondering. "If you had nobody, you will feel lonely. Same goes to the moon, the stars gonna fall and leave him tonight. So, thats why the moon feel sad I guess.". Little by little , Lucy started to understand the guard's words. "Thank you, sir" said Lucy with a big smile on her face. The guard chuckled while looking at Lucy's cute face, "Your pleasure, Princess Heartfilia".
"The sky is really beautiful tonight", thought Lucy again and didn't noticed that ten minutes had been away. After one and a half miles, they had arrived their destination, the vast grassland behind the Mount Altana. Heavenly for see sight of shooting stars but private place of Heartfilia family. "Wait Princess! I need to accompany you", the guard said it a little loud after saw Lucy wanted to run into the middle of the land. "Sir, I'm just gonna stay nearby. So, you can feed the horse with the grass there" requested Lucy. The guard felt guilty, then said "okay, but make sure you stand where I can easily spot you, Princess". Lucy nodded quickly and continued to distance herself. The guard brought the horses to the pool of grass and busily took care of them. Then, Lucy pull out something in her right pocket jacket, something that she kept secret from everyone.
Two keys plated with gold, impossibly well-designed, unknown symbol, the looked from the keys show that it came from the ancient. "Open the gates of Aquarius and Virgo" Lucy said it slowly. Suddenly, one Celestial Spirit was summoned. "Hi Virgo! Where is Aquarius?" asked Lucy after noticed Aquarius was not around. "She didn't want to come cause she got a date tonight." Virgo said it politely. "What? She the one that wanted to watch the shooting stars together." Lucy was a little sad. "Never mind, let watch this together Virgo," Lucy leaned on the grass so did Virgo. A few minutes had passed, there is only silent between them. Out of the blue, Virgo said " I think you need a friend, the human one of course." "We are friends, right? Why do-" before Lucy wanted to ask the next question, Virgo answered her "We can't always be with you. We also have limited time is this world. Like tonight, Aquarius can't watch the shooting stars together because she had spend a long time with you in the morning," said Virgo the truth. "But, I have you guys," Lucy still denying. "So, why you look lonely?" asked Virgo. "Lone-ly.." Lucy remembered what the guard told her for while ago.
"Look, shooting star," Virgo pointed at the sky. "It so beautiful but is it raining tonight?" asked Lucy while watching the sky. After a glanced, Virgo sat properly and said, "A fairy tale said that if you wish something while shooting stars, the stars will bring your wish to the God through the sky." With tears, Lucy said it loudly "I wish- I wish I have a friend!" Lucy sobbed silently. Finally, Virgo smiled on that night for the first time but then she noticed something and shouted "Lucy, the star is coming here!" Lucy didn't moved, not because of scared but she was exposed to the beautiful of the star. She started to follow the star after it passed through them. Suddenly, a loud explosion was heard after the star hit the ground near the the Mount Altana. Without a second thoughts about the guard or Virgo, Lucy ran for the star and went nearby the star. Its hard to see a thing due to the thick dust. Then, Lucy took a closer distance between the star to take a good look of it. Out of the blue, someone pull her hand from behind, "What are you doing here Princess? It is dangerous!" said the guard worried about Lucy safety. "The- the star-" Lucy stuttered and her body shivered.
"A boy"
