Enjoy~ Sorry for any errors and I don't own Fairy Tail and the songs written here.


Chapter 7: Preparations!

Next Day at Lucy's Apartment

*Aria's P.O.V.*

*chirp* *chirp* I could hear the sound of the birds outside, I slowly open my eyes, and the first thing I saw is the white ceiling. I slowly get up on the futon.

"Hnngh~!" I stretch my arms in the air and I look at the window, it's already morning, probably around 8.

I look at my surrounding, Lucy-nee's sleeping on her bed while hugging the huge black dragon plushy, she told me yesterday that it was won by Rogue when they went on the Amusement Park, it kinds of look like him. Nick is sleeping next to me with the extra futon of Lucy-nee.

Lucy-nee let us stay to her apartment for a while until we decided which guild we will join. I really want in Fairy Tail but, Nick wants to join Sabertooth. I guess I'll just observe the two guilds, I want to respect Nick's decision too.

I slowly stand up and arrange my futon, and place it on a corner. Lucy-nee and Nick are still sleeping, probably too tired on last night party. It's been a while since I had that much fun. I went to my stuffs and grab the clothes I was wearing yesterday and went inside the bathroom.

Before I took off my pajamas, which Lucy-nee bought yesterday with the other clothes, I look on the mirror. My eyes still has a faint red marks under my eyes due to the fact that I cried a lot yesterday but it's nearly disappearing, and also my jaw is really hurt. It's been 5 years since I smile with all my might.

I went to the tub and open the faucet to fill in the water, I slowly took off my pajamas and check the temperature of the water, it's just right, I enter the tub and let myself relax.


After 10 minutes

When I exit the bathroom, Lucy-nee is already awake, she's in the kitchen cooking breakfast to the three of us.

"Good Morning, Lucy-nee," I greeted her. She turn her head and smile on me.

"Good Morning, Aria-chan! Would you please wake Nick?" Lucy-nee greeted me and asked me. I smile at her and nod. I went to the bedroom.

"Nick, hey, Nick wake up," I said as I keep on shaking him.

"Hmm, Aria-chan?" Nick said with a husky voice as he rub his eyes.

"Yes, it's me. Good Morning sleepyhead," I greet him with a smile. He blinks his eyes two times and then suddenly hug me.

"It is not a dream, geez, I think you're still asleep," I said as I hug him back. Nick laugh.

After he arrange his futon, we went towards the dining where Lucy-nee is already done in cooking and placing 3 plates on the dining table.

"Good morning, Nick. Breakfast is ready," Lucy-nee greeted Nick.

"Good morning Lucy nee-chan," Nick greeted back. We all sat down and started to eat, while talking about things that happened this past years while Lucy-nee, the time she and the other members return back.

"You guys ready?" Lucy-nee asked me and Nick.

I adjusted my necklace which Sting gave me and wrap my scarf around my neck and put on my coat. I nod, so is Nick.

"Pupun," Plue, the Canis Manor, Nicolas said while shaking non-stop. Lucy-nee giggles and we head out towards Fairy Tail.


At Fairy Tail Guild

"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!" Lucy-nee shout as we enter her guild.

"Good Morning!" the members shout back. We head towards the bar where Mirajane-san is cleaning some glass while talking to her little sister, Lisanna-san.

"Good Morning Mira, Lisanna!" Lucy-nee greeted her friends. The two sisters look at Lucy-nee and smile at her.

"Good Morning Lucy. Good morning too, Nick, Aria," Mirajane-san greeted the three of us.

"Good Morning Mirajane-san," Nick and I greet her at the same time.

"What's your plan today Lucy?" Lisanna-san asked.

"We'll head to Sabertooth. Sting need some help regarding the Christmas Party he's throwing on the 24th," Lucy-nee reply.

"That's right, Sting did say that. He was asking for my help on the menu for the party," Mirajane-san said as she continue wiping some glass.

"Heh, is that so. Well, we'll be heading towards there now," Lucy-nee said as she waves and started to walk towards the Teleportation Device.

"Wait, I'll go too! I want to help," Lisanna-san suddenly stand up from her seat and follow us. Mirajane-san waves to us and bid us a goodbye and a good luck.


When I open my eyes, I'm already on a different guild, this is probably Sabertooth. Their hall is bigger than Fairy Tails. I step put on the device and scan the room, there are people I met last night, Orga-san who is singing non-stop, Rufus-san who is interested in books.

"You're here," said by a familiar voice. I turn my head and saw Rogue walking towards us.

"Good morning, Rogue," Lucy-nee greeted her boyfriend and give him a quick kiss on the lip.

"Morning, Lucy," Rogue greeted back as they kiss again. I smile on how cute the two couples are, while Nick is blushing.

"All right, that's enough kissing," I said as I clap my hand. Lucy-nee and Rogue pull out from each other, both of them are pouting.

"So Rogue, where's your pervert Master?" I asked jokingly. Everyone laugh on that even me, then suddenly someone pinch my nose.

"Who you calling pervert?" Sting a.k.a. pervert Master asked as he keep on pinching my nose. I smirk at him.

"I wonder who indeed," I said while looking at the side.

"So this is the real Aria, very naughty and childish," Sting said as he smirk and pinch my nose tightly.

"HEY! MY NOSE!" I shout as I struggle out on Stings pinch. He smirk and didn't let go. 'Oh so that's it huh,' I thought to myself then an idea pops on my head. I lift both my arms and pinch both Sting's cheek.

"OW! OWOWOWOW! ARIA TWAT HUWRTS!" Sting shouts and he quickly took out his hand on my nose and I pull out my hand and smirk as I look on his swollen cheek.

"That's for pinching my nose," I said as I cross my arms. Sting look at me while rubbing both his cheeks. I heard some giggles and look at Lucy-nee and the others.

"Hmm? What's with the giggle Lucy-nee?" I asked her. Lucy-nee look at me and then to Sting.

"Oh nothing, you two are so cute, you look like a couple," Lucy-nee said as her eyes sparkle. I felt my blood rise towards my cheek, then I look at Sting who is blushing.

"C-couple?" I said as I stutter. Lucy-nee squeal with Lisanna-san and Yukino who seemed came a while ago.

"W-What are you t-talking about Lucy? T-that's impossible," Sting said stutterly. Somehow it kind of hurt my feelings saying it's impossible. Am I not girlfriend material? But I'll just go along what he said.

"H-he's right Lucy-nee, that's impossible," I said as I smile and wave my left hand. Lucy-nee frown but she immediately recover. I look at Sting and his face is kind of weird, he seems to be sulking? Or hurt? Dunno, I was about to ask him when suddenly a familiar hand pats my head and immediately my cheek blushes more.

"Yoh! Heard you guys were here, so Happy and I came here," it was Natsu-san with his cute grin.

"AYE! We can't let you guys leave us," Happy, Natsu-san's Exceed said while flying in front of us.

"NATSU! HAPPY! Good Morning!" Lucy-nee greeted Natsu-san.

Natsu-san's hand left my head and walk towards Lucy-nee, giving Rogue a high five and a fist bump to Sting.

"Morning Luce. I heard you guys were planning the Christmas Party," Natsu-san said. Lucy-nee nods.

"Actually it was Sting, I was just gonna help, so is Lisanna," Lucy-nee reply. Natsu-san look at Lisanna-san and went towards her.

"Morning Lis," Natsu-san greeted Lisanna-san.

"Good morning Natsu," Lisanna-san greeted back and smile at him. Then I saw something fluffy and flowers behind them, I felt something hit my heart, what could that be?

"Hey, you okay?" I heard someone asked, I turn my head and saw Sting looking at me with a worried face.

"I'm fine," I reply him with a smile to assure him. He smiled back and ruffles my hair.


*Normal P.O.V.*

"So, what are we gonna do first?" Aria asked her companions.

"First, decorations," Sting answered her. Aria look around the guild and there's no decoration for Christmas.

"I'm not really good in decorating, so is the others, since this will be our first Christmas Party since our previous master, Jiemma is not interested on it," Sting added as he scratch his head. The members of Sabertooth frowns as they remember.

Aria walk around with one of her hand on her chin the other is supporting it. The others look at her in confusion except for Nick and Lucy who knows what she's doing. Aria stops in front of them and look at Sting.

"Do you have a sketch of you hall?" Aria asked Sting. Sting raises one of his eyebrow and nods.

"Good, can I borrow it? And a pencil too," Aria asked, Sting went to his office and went down and gave Aria what she asked. Aria look at the paper then she hold it in her left hand, then suddenly in her right hand another paper appears. This surprise everyone.

"It's a copy of the sketch. We can use the copy instead of the original," Aria explained. She gave the original back to Sting then gave the copy to Nick and the pencil.

"You know what I'm thinking?" Aria asked her twin brother. Nick smile and took the paper and pencil.

"Just like old times," Nick reply and suddenly then started to walk around.

"Okay, The color of Christmas is Red, Green and Yellow, then we add more, like light blue, gold, silver," Aria said.

"First off, we can't have a Christmas without a Christmas Tree. We'll place it on the corner opposite to the Teleportation Device, and decorate it," Aria said while pointing on the corner.

"Next, we'll put a Christmas Wreath on the two big doors outside of the guild. Then we'll put garlands and Christmas lights above on all sides of the hall plus on the stairs we'll place some large socks hanging on the sides.

"We'll move the tables on the sides leaving the center open for different activities, like games, or performances, then on the day of the party there will be some floating letters that says 'Merry Christmas'," Aria ended, then she look at Sting and the others while smiling.

Sting went haywire as he didn't get all what Aria said. Aria noticed it and laugh, she look at Nick who's smiling at her and gave her the paper.

"Here Sting, this will help," Aria hand over the paper which Sting get and his eyes widen.

"Woah! How?" Sting said as he look at the paper then to the twins, the others became curious and look also to the paper and they too were surprise.

On the paper, the sketch of the hall plus the decorations that Aria said a while ago every detail. It was perfect and wonderful drawing.

"Amazing! Nick did you drew this?" Rogue asked as his eyes can't leave the drawing. Nick smile and rub his head.

"Yes. If Aria-chan is good in singing, I'm confident on my drawing skills," Nick said shyly as a blush crept on his face

"Nick and Aria-chan are both talented, which is why I'm really proud on these two," Lucy compliments her twins.

"Okay, let's place it aside for now, and focus on our agenda," Aria said, "So what do you think Sting?"

"Actually it's perfect! We'll go with this decorations," Sting approves and so is the others.

"Well then, next will be the materials," Aria said as she borrows the paper again and made a copy of it.

"We'll just buy the materials," Sting said while he place his hands on his hips.

"Indeed, but it doesn't mean we need to buy brand new ones," Aria reply.

"What do you mean by that Aria?" Lisanna asked.

"Well, party is already your everyday routine right?" Aria asked and everyone nods, "And every party, there will always be a brawl," Everyone nods again.

"Then if we buy new ones, obviously it will just get destroyed on the brawl, so instead on buying new ones, we'll recycle some or make some by ourselves," Aria suggest. This confuse everyone.

"For example, instead of real leave garlands, we'll find some plastic one, instead of Christmas lights, I'll just cast a spell creating tiny lights we'll just wrap it on some colorful plastics. Then instead of real Christmas balls for the decoration on the Christmas Tree, we'll make some old papers into a shape of ball and paint it with different colors, what's more we can write our own messages on it." She explain while writing something on the paper.

"OH! I see. That's quite creative," Sting said as he like the idea.

"Indeed, it's more economical and we don't need to spend lots of money," Rogue agrees.

"Also, even if the ornaments and decorations were destroyed due to the usual brawl, it's not much of a waste, since it's not brand new," Lucy said as she too likes the idea. The others agree and look at Aria for the next thing they'll do.

"Sting, do you want to put some table cloth on your tables?" Aria asked. Sting thinks for a moment then asks the others.

"I think it's more Christmas like if we put a table cloth that has a Christmas design," Yukino said.

"Yes, then we'll place small scented candles on each table to add some flickers," Lisanna said.

"Yes, that's a great idea, and a little bit romantic too," Aria said as she agrees on the two girls ideas.

"Speaking of romantic, do you guys place a mistletoe on your door?" Nick asked to the Fairy Tail members. The members sweat drop.

"Yea, well to make it more specific, it was Mira-nee who loves to do that," Lisanna answer, Lucy and Happy nods. The Sabertooth members can imagine how happy Mira is whenever she got a victim. Nick look at them with curiosity while Aria is thinking on something.

"Then we'll also put one too, since it won't become real Christmas without it, but we'll put a twist on it," Aria said as she grin. Everyone look at her.

"The twist will be that no one knows where the mistletoe is hanging."

"And how is that gonna be?" Lucy asked.

"There's a rune mage on your guild right Lucy-nee? We'll let him cast a rule on the mistletoe to move wherever it wants and when it stops on a couple they will be lock on the runes until they kiss," Aria explain her idea. This sparkles the eyes of the girls.

"Oooh! I see, that's more great and it will be a surprise to everyone since no one really knows when, where or who the mistletoe will appear," Lisanna said.

"But, if Mira knows about that idea, wouldn't she tell Freed on the rule that they should kiss on the lips to give more spice?" Lucy said as she knows very well the older Takeover mage.

"Then, we won't tell her. Just tell her that I'm in charge for the mistletoe, and if she ever talk to me regarding on it then I'll try to come up some excuses or stuffs," Aria said with confidence.

"All right," Lucy and Lisanna reply and smile on Aria.

"Well then, right now, we'll go and buy and look for some materials we'll be needing. I already list down what we need, we'll just split up to get it faster," Aria explain their next agenda.

"Okay we'll split into 4 groups," Aria said.

"Okay, then me, Rogue and Frosch as a team," Lucy said as she wrap her arms on one of Rogue's arm while Frosch is flying above them.

"Yosh, then Lisanna, Happy and I will be in one team," Natsu said as he flung one of his arms on Lisanna's shoulder and smile at her which made her blush but smile back.

"Aye Sir!" Happy exclaim.

"Then, can I team up with Yukino-chan, Aria-chan?" Nick asked for Aria's permission. Aria look at him and smile.

"Nick, you don't need to ask my permission if you want to go with Yukino, just do what you want," Aria reply as an approval. This made Nick's smile widens and give Yukino a thumbs up.

"Then it means we'll be on the same team," Aria said and face her teammate.

"Guess so, plus Lector," Sting said while pointing to his partner.

"Yes, I'm also in your team, Aria-san," Lector said while flying in front of Aria.

"Aria is fine Lector, or instead of –san, just use –chan," Aria said to Lector. Lector smiles.

"All right, Aria-chan."

Aria gave the other teams the stuffs they will be looking or buying for their decorations and then they split up.


At a forest

*Lucy's P.O.V.*

"Okay, what's assigned on us is a pine tree we can use as our Christmas tree, and some branches of it for our wreath," I said as I read the paper Aria-chan gave me.

"Okay, it seems that these two are the ones we really need as real, since we don't need to buy we'll just cut down one tree. We ask a permission a while ago anyway and they let us have one tree and some branches," Rogue said while looking around to find a great tree.

"Frosch, how's up there?" I shouted, then the cute Exceed fly down to us.

"All the trees are really tall and still healthy," Frosch report to us. I thank him and saw what we were looking for.

"This one is perfect, what do you think Rogue?" I ask my boyfriend.

"Yes, I think this will do," Rogue reply, then we look at each other and nods.

"Shadow Dragon's Crushing Fang!"

"Open the Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!"

"Moo!"

The cut we did were clean and the tree fell down and I Taurus a high five then Rogue a hug.

"Moo! Lucy-san your body as always is nice body," Taurus as usual said while eyeing my body. I sweat drop on his usual action, then suddenly something wrap around my waist, it was Rogue.

"Hey you pervert cow, I told you many times don't look at my girlfriend that way," Rogue as he glare as Taurus.

"MOO! Will you stay away on Lucy-san's nice body? You don't deserve that!" Taurus reply as he glares at Rogue. This never change, ever since they met they always bicker like two kids.

"Okay, you've done enough Taurus, thank you very much~ Force Gate Closure~" I said as I swipe to the air his key, and he disappear.

"Rogue~ Lucy-san~ I found two great branches, here," I heard Frosch shout as he fly down towards us with two branches with lots of pine leaves.

"This is perfect Frosch, good job," Rogue praise Frosch and pats his head. Frosch let out a giggle and place down the branches beside the tree, then Rogue tie it up.

"So, how will we gonna take it back to the guild?" Rogue asked me. I think for a moment, then an idea came out. I grab one of my keys.

"Open the Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" I chant, then Virgo appears.

"Punishment Hime?" I sweat drop on her usual words.

"No. Could you take this tree to the Sabertooth guild by digging and place it on their hall? We'll just leave a note so they won't be surprise," I said to Virgo, I look at Rogue and he agrees on my idea.

"As you wish, Hime," she reply, I smile on her. I quickly made a note and give it to her, and make sure she won't lost it.

"Well then Hime, I'll come back when I deliver the tree to Sabertooth," Virgo said I nod, and in an instance, Virgo and the tree were gone, then after 5 minutes she came back to report it was successful.

I thanked her and she leaves and went back to the Celestial Spirit World. I look at Rogue and Frosch.

"Well, our task is done," I said as we head out to the forest and back to the town.

"Yea, and we still have lots of time," Rogue said.

"Want to walk around?" I ask, he look at me and smile.

"Sure, I would love too," Rogue reply as he intertwine our hands. I smile at him then give him a kiss on the lips which he return gladly.

'I wonder how the others are,' I thought to myself as we reach the exit. When we exit the forest we started our date, of course with Frosch with us.


*Normal P.O.V.*

On Lisanna's team she's currently looking for table cloths that will be set up plus some ribbons and candles. Unfortunately her partner Natsu isn't really any help in which dismay Lisanna, but nevertheless, after she bought the cloths Natsu offers to carry the stuff which made Lisanna really thankful. They head towards the next store.

On Yukino's team, they were assigned on the art materials, paints, brushes, tapes and due to Nick's expertise about art they really found great materials in a very cheap price, and finished early. Instead of going back, they decided to take this chance to talk more and walk around the town.

On Sting's team, Aria took the recycling stuffs since she knows what she really needs, and currently they were going around the town, buying some second hand stuffs, or buy some junk stuffs in a very low price like old papers, thin ropes, plastic garlands in different color.


*Sting's P.O.V.*

Aria's been dragging me everywhere which is really very exhausting, I kind of envy Lector for having wings and just fly and not feeling any pain on his legs. My legs are on limit now.

"ARIA!" I shout to get her attention.

"Hmm?" she hummed.

"Do you mind to take a break first?" I asked. She suddenly stop and look at me.

"Okay, you got right timing, since there's an empty bench, we can sit there and rest," she said. I let out a sigh as a relief and immediately sit down, with Lector beside me.

"You're already tired?" she asked me. I look at her with a 'what the heck' look.

"Duh, we've been running around and worse we never had at least a stop over," I said as I cross my arms.

She look at me, then laugh, "weakling," she said. I blush and avert my eyes.

"NO I'm not! I'm just not used to it," I reason out.

"Yea! Sting-kun is strong Aria-chan!" Lector defended me. I give him a high five and smile at him.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'm just joking anyway," she said as she let out another laugh, which make her really cute.

I mentally slap myself when I remember what I said a while ago. I've been like this ever since yesterday.

"Hey Sting, I want to ask something," Aria said as she stare at me intensely. I gulped before I answer her.

"What is it?" I asked her. She suddenly fidget before she speak.

"Uh, is Natsu-san and Lisanna-san were dating?" she asked.

"No, they don't, they are just childhood friends. They know each other because they both are in Fairy Tail ever since they were kids. Why do you ask?" I answer her right away.

"Oh, nothing it's just that, they were close. Natsu-san and Lucy-nee were too, but I know they were best friends. I see, now that you mention it, Lucy-nee did say something about that," She said as she look at the sky and a small smile crept on her face, this made my heart skip and stare at her, mesmerized on her action.

I was snap back when I heard some voices, it seems to be there's a fight. I look where the voices were, there I saw 2 big kids bullying some little kids. What shock me most is that, no one's helping them and I could hear the cries of the little kids. I was about to stand up when I saw Aria walk first.

"HEY!" She shout as she approaches them. The bullies immediately runs away while laughing like an idiot. Lector and I follow her. Aria immediately went towards the little kids and she squats down, and help the kids.

"Are you kids okay?" she asked in a sweet voice. The kids look at her still tears on their eyes and nods. She quickly stand up and head towards me and grab something on one of the bags, it was a tissue.

She quickly went back to the kids and wipe their tears and clean their dirt's on their faces and hands, I smile on how nice Aria is. I help her on cleaning the kids.

"Are you Sting Eucliffe?" asked by one of the kids.

"Uh, yea, that's me," I reply as I smile at him, then suddenly his eyes sparks.

"COOL! It's Sting Eucliffe that White Dragon Slayer, and the current Master of Sabertooth," the kid said excitedly, then the next thing I knew is that I was being crowded by the kids.

"Uwah! It's Sting Eucliffe! He's so cool!" one of the little girls said as she squeal. I laugh on how cute the kids were.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked them.

"We're caroling to earn some money," a little boy answer. I smile as how amazing they were doing.

"WOW! That's great, but does your parents knew?" I said, then suddenly their smiles turn upside down.

"What's wrong?" Aria asked as she went near to us and squat down again.

"We don't have any parents, were just an orphan," the girl who squeal reply to us. Aria, Lector and I were surprised on what we heard.

"We're currently living at the orphanage at the outskirt of town. It was very old, and the one who's taking care of us were really having a financial problem so we decided to help her out."

The three of us feel sad on what happened to the kids.

"Well then, you should sing now if you want to earn lots of money," Aria said as she stands up. I look at her I could see that she wanted to help the kids. I smile and stand up.

"She's right. You can't earn money if you're just crying there right?" I follow up what Aria said. The kids look at each other and then nods. They stand up and form a two lines, and..

"We wish you a Merry Christmas,"

"Jingle bells, Jingle bells,"

I cover my ears when I heard them sing, it's kind of out of tune and at the same time, the lyrics were wrong and they are not in sync. Then I heard some snickers I look at the side and saw the two bullies hiding behind the garbage laughing silently on the kid's poor performance.

They noticed it and stop singing and became sad. I immediately gave the bullies my scariest glare which made them scared and runs away for good this time. I let out a sigh as I look at the depressing kids.

"Don't look so sad, it's almost Christmas, we should all be smiling," Aria encourage the kids.

The kids look at her and tears were about to fall.

"Ah ah ah! Don't cry, you guys have a great voice, the problem is you're not in sync and a little out of tune. Here, I'll guide you," she said as she stand in front of them, I went to the side as I watch what Aria's gonna do.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

And a Happy New Year"

I was surprised on what I am seeing and hearing right now, Aria is singing.

"WOW!" Even the kids was awed on Aria's voice.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

And a Happy New Year"

Aria continues to sing as she watch the kids, then slowly she lift her arms and suddenly made some movements, the kids look at each other and nods.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

And a Happy New Year"

Aria and the kids sing at the same time creating a perfect harmony.

"Good tidings we bring

To you and your kin

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

And a Happy New Year"

They continue to sing, then slowly, people started to flock around us and listen to their caroling. Then I watch how Aria and the kids were having fun while singing.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

We wish you a Merry Christmas,

And a Happy New Year"

"Dashing through the snow,

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtail ring'

Making spirit bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight!

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way.

Oh! What fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh. (hey!)

Jingle bells, jingle bells,

Jingle all the way;

Oh! What fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh~"

They finished and aloud of applause were be heard. Aria turn around and bows, the kids follows her which made the claps getting louder.

"Hello everyone. Thank you for listening to our singing, and if it's alright for you, do you mind to spare some money for these kids great performance?" Aria said politely as she bows and pull out a bag. The people smile and slowly put some money on the bag one by one. And each one Aria would say thank you and wishing them a Merry Christmas.

The kids follows Aria's action and thanked those who gives them money, even the bullies a while ago gave some which made the kids happy and wish them a Merry Christmas.

After the last person, Aria grab something on her pocket and put some jewels inside the bag. I follow her as I too place some jewels. She close the bag, and she chant a spell. She squat down and gave the bag to the kids.

"Here, I put a spell on it so that will surely take you and the money back to your home safely," She explain. The kids nods and hug her and thanked her.

"Big sis, thank you. What's your name?"

"I'm Aria Regenbogen," Aria answer.

"Thank you very much, Aria nee-chan," the kids said at the same time. Aria smile and ruffles their hair.

The kids bid their goodbyes as they walk back towards their home.

I look at Aria who is still waving to the kids, when she notice my stare, she look at me.

"What's up?" she asked. I smile at her.

"You really do have a wonderful voice," I said as I praise her. She quickly blush and covers it with her scarf.

"T-Thanks," she said.

"Aria-chan, you're getting prettier when you were singing," Lector said. Aria look at him and pet his head.

"Thanks Lector."

"But, I want to hear you sing once more, but this time something not Christmas theme," I mutter to myself.

"You want me to do it?" she asked me as she tilt her head as she stare at me. I blush, I forgot she had a very sharp hearing. I didn't respond because I'm too embarrassed.

Aria seemed to notice it, and let out a chuckle. I immediately bury my head on the bags I was carrying when suddenly,

'A fresh wind races through the grass and leaves

The view is clear, as far as the eye can see

And now, a graceful light is flooding,

Softly illuminating everything'

I slowly lift my head when I heard her sing again, and this time it was different than when she was singing with the kids. I could really hear her voice, it was like a voice of an angel.

Even you cannot see the stars

Because of the rain

The future you are dreaming of,

Is still right there

I watch her how she slowly place her hand on her chest and look at me from time to time as I listen to her voice. I hear my heart's beating getting faster.

Let's sing everyday

With all our hearts

Our song echoing to the skies

And beyond

And if it should ever

Reach you again somewhere

I want you to remember

The days we spent with beaming smiles

Let's sing everyday

With all our hearts

Our song echoing to the skies

And beyond

And if it should ever

Reach you again somewhere

I want you to remember

The days we spent with sparkling eyes

The days we spent with beaming smiles

She finally ended, but I'm still mesmerized on her singing voice. I was snap back when she snap her finger in front of my eyes.

"You okay?" she asked. I nod and slowly I place my head on her shoulder, this startled her a bit.

"Hey, you sure you're okay?" she asked again. I slowly lift my head and smile on her.

"Yea, I was just mesmerized on your singing," I said to her, and what I see now is something I will never forget, her face is so red, that she looks like a tomato. She quickly hide her face to her scarf and avert her eyes.

I try myself not to laugh as I know she will surely get more embarrassed. I grab her hand and started to walk.

"Come on, we still have some shopping to do," I said. She look at me and slowly her face turns back on its usual color and she pull down her scarf and smile.

I look at my front as I take note today's date, 'today's one of my favorite days.'


A/N: And that's Chapter 7~ How was it? Sorry if it's too much Sting X Aria, no worries starting next chapter it's gonna be RoLu. Wee~ Also, sorry if there's lots of POVs.

Merry Christmas Everyone! Currently it's one hour before Christmas Eve, and we're playing games here at home. :D

The song other than the Christmas song is the english lyric of the song, Kokoro no Senritsu on the anime, Tari Tari. Here on out, I'll try to make my own lyrics if I can, but if not, I'll be borrowing some well known songs or some anime songs.

Thank you so much for the reviews, faves and followers. I'm really happy whenever there's a notif on my email that some review, fave or follows my story. Thank you so much! *Here's some Snowman cookies* :D

I'll try to post the next chapter later or tomorrow, due to it's the Christmas Party of Sabertooth and Fairy Tail.

That's all~ Please don't forget to R&R and F&F~

See you on the next chapter~ Merry Christmas to you and to your family~
