Big brown eyes stared at boy who's grinned widely at her. She smiled back at him. Tension had been increased as she felt her heart fluttered at his dreamy smile.
As he turned his back on her, she released a breath of relief. Sighing at her stupidity for her being so in love with boy that will never look at her as potential girlfriend. But did the little she know that he was thinking same thing.
Shining sun brightened the room while small child slowly stretched her tiny arms. Sparkly brown eyes blinked. Smile formed on her face. She instantly jumped out of bed. Singing nonsense loudly as she ran down the hall to her father's room. Door slammed open, causing the faint response from person which supposedly asleep under light blue covers. A small 'humph' from little girl as she realized that he was still sleeping. Climbing onto the bed then she stood on it. She started bouncing on it while getting ready to wake him up. She jumped and landed on him. Pink-haired man grunted as his daughter landed on him. Little girl cried, "Daddy!"
He groaned,"Uhhhh... What is it, Astra?" Astra squealed as she bounced off the bed. Shaking her father, she exclaimed, "Dad! It's my BIRTHDAY!"
It was so loud that he swore he could hear the glasses cracked. After the damaging sound faded, he looked up to his daughter. He reached out his hand to pat her head and smile slightly.
"That's wonderful, my angel. Do you want to go see everybody or do you want stay here, so I can make your favorite breakfast?"
"I wanna see aunties, uncles, grandpa and everyone!"
"Well then let go to Fairy Tail!"
"Yay!"
"Astra, go get dress then we will go, okay?"
"Okay!"
Astra skipped down to her room to get her fancy pink dress with white ribbon for her hair. While she was busy dressing, he rubbed his face to wake himself little more. He couldn't believe that his daughter was already seven years old. Slowly moving out of bed, he felt small bruise forming around his torso. He winced but brushed it off. Walking to his dresser, he pulled out grey t-shirt with dark blue jeans. Taking his clothes off then putting the ones that he pulled out. Putting his head though the shirt then he noticed something.
A mirror that stood on drawer. It was very old one. It had golden oval frame decorated around mirror. Mirror was not clear as it used to be. He still can see himself but it was kind of faded. It used to be Lucy's. His beautiful wife that gave her life away when Astra was born. He remembered that Lucy used to tell stories about how mirror was passed down for generations, and how her ancestors had to protect it to preserve the Heaven of Astra. After Lucy died, he decided to give his daughter that name to preserve a memory of his wife and his daughter's mother.
Lucy... No matter what. I will always protect our child. She will become beautiful, strong, leader like you always vision her to be.
"Daddy? Are you ready to go?" Small voice asked. He turned around to see her head peeking out behind the door.
He replied, "Yeah, I am ready." She smiled which was identical to her mother. Sighing quietly as she dragged him to Fairy Tail.
When they had arrived Fairy Tail, Astra couldn't help but to tilted her head in curiosity. Fairy Tail was in complete silence which is something that you don't counter everyday. She felt something that was not right. Looking to her father who only smiled and encouraged her to open the doors. Pushing them open then she waited. It was still and quiet. Nothing seems had changed for past few minutes. Except for her father's patience which is wearing thin, he gave her a push. A push is the cause for a confusion. Her thoughts suddenly lost her. The colors and streamers blasted in her face. Vision became burry and her ears ringed. All she can do is stand in her place, looking shocked. Sure, she was expecting something for her birthday but she did not expect this.
Every single corners of room were decorated with rainbow colored streamers and balloons. Fairy Tail were painted in varies of colors including the ones that she never knew that existed. After getting over the shock, she was in awe. Everyone were smiling from ear to ear then they sucked in the breath.
"Happy Birthday, Astra!" They loudly exclaimed causing her breathless.
"Thank you so much!" Astra squealed.
"It's no problem!"
"This is because we love you!"
"Parties are MAN!"
"You are so cute with your little pink dress!"
"Look at that ribbon! You looked just like your mother!"
"You are definitely Lucy's daughter."
"Tch, I hope you are having fun."
"She is such little fairy but I'm queen fairy, don't you dare forget that!"
"Oh my goodness! I can't wait to see what you think of our presents!"
"Okay, that's enough! It's time for games. Kids, Gather up!"
Members instantly stopped after Mirajane announced it was time for their children to play. Adults groaned because they know that Mirajane probably came up with some crazy shit, meanwhile all children cheered. They (adults) shuddered at memory of last event. Mirajane gathered children and brought them outside. Older members visibly relaxed. Shirtless man glanced at Pink-haired man. He stepped closer to him, bumping his left shoulder.
Pink-haired glared at him,"What the fuck you want, Gray?"
"Well, Natsu. Fuck you too." Gray deadpanned.
"Shut up, jackass."
"Come on. You know I am just trying to be nice."
"Whatever. Just say it.'
"Er..Well..Um..You know about Lucy..."
"...Yeah?"
"I am sure that she must be really happy if she see you right now."
"..."
"She will be proud of you being... you know.. being good father to her."
"Yeah..Thanks, Man."
Silence between two men was quiet calming but that was until the children came in, screaming the bloody murder. All of them were alarmed. They started asking them what was wrong but they kept blundering a nonsense. However the birthday girl came in last and smiling like she was having best day of her life.
"What happened, Astra?" Natsu asked.
"Oh, we were playing dare." Astra smiled widely, causing Natsu sighed exhaustedly.
"Don't worry. They will be okay." Mirajane sweetly said.
"How will they be ok-."
"WHO WANT A CAKE?!" Mirajane's younger sister, Lisanna hollered while holding a huge layered cake in her hands.
"I WANT ONE!" All children yelled, completely recovered from their previous mood.
Cake was set down in middle of room. It has five layers. All of the frosting were colored black with white strips around it. Also, it has two red dragon crawled around it. Seven candles were in each layers. All of them were lit but soon, they turned into the sparkling fireworks. Sparkling rainbow colored candle moved like they were alive which pulled Astra in the magical trance. They swirled in her eyes. Unfortunately, she was forced to snapped out of it, when Gray's wife, Juiva told her to blow the candles and make wish. Make a Wish? She thought. What I want? What do I wish for? Astra looked at her father. Suddenly she was reminded by the stories that he told her about her mother. The look on his face when he talked about her. Astra really wanted to meet her mother. Her mother seemed a such amazing person in the way that it is like she was his everything. Astra can tell that he loved her dearly. I want to see you Mama. I want to meet you. Without her knowing that somewhere in her home, a bright light shined.
The candles went out.
