"Congratulations minna! You're back! And even complete the S-Class mission" Mirajane greet them at the bar. "Yeah! And look Simon reward us, 2 000 000 million jewels!" said Ren again.
"He's must be Rich! But I'm totally grateful, now I can pay up my apartment rent" Amy happily cheer up with Yajeh, Rose, Meredy and Mira.
Cody, Shutora, Ren and Azee smile and nodded. "It's nothing, you guys help me complete my mission, and I'm thank you for you guys hard work and cooperation" said Simon while drink his cup of beer.
Master Edward can be seen sitting on his chair and drink his beer beside Simon. "Thank You Edward, you have a strong brats here and they have such strong bond between each other. I like it, it's feel Fairy Tail been reborn back" Simon tap Edward shoulder.
"You welcome Simon, I have no doubt that we are continuing the Fairy Tail legacy" Edward smile.
"Everyone! Since you all here, do you know what day tomorrow?" ask Mirajane
"Yeah, Tuesday, eat, sleep, back to high school, study, sleep in class, just the way I like it" said Azee who find himself a comfortable seats and sleep.
"No silly, tomorrow is the Hanami Festival for this year X817" Mirajane explain. Everyone quite surprise and happy to hear it. Amy, Yajeh, Rose and Meredy never been into the Hanami festival before. But while everyone Is happy, there is somebody who didn't laugh and cheer or smile. Amy glances at Ren who shook his head, he feel sad. Ren walked away from the guild. Everyone was comfuse. However, only Mirajane, Master Edward, Elfman, Lisanna, Evergreen and Cody know why. They also look down sadly. "H-hey..what happen to Ren? Why he leave the guild when we talking about the Hanami Festival?" ask Amy
"It's…just…it's about his past and he never tell everyone how he feels about Hanami Festival" Master Edward come closer to Amy. "If you want to know what happen, come to my Office along with Meredy and Yajeh after this" said Master Edward
"U-urm. Okay" Amy said in a low tone.
Azee wake up and fire a fireworks which explode inside the guild. "Cheer up! Tomorrow it's Hanami Festival! Hhaaha!" But only to be knock out by Rika. "Azee, your friend Ren just leave the guild and why you should be happy? Don't you have a sense of humour?" ask Rika
Azee gasped and slowly nodded. "Urm..i don't know Ren was sad…"
"What a bonehead. Azee, let's go prepare something for tomorrow, I think we should decorate the Guild Hall and to the Sakura tree" said Cody
"Okay"
Master Edward nodded and ask Mira and the others to prepare now that it still afternoon. Ren walk pass through the city and follow the left road towards a house which belong to his parents, Natsu and Lucy. He enter the house, the furniture still there, clean because Ren usually clean the house by himself. He quickly wear his black with red colour fire design shirt and a three-quarter throusers and wrap his head with his scarf. He start preparing and decorating his parents house so it look beautiful.
Meanwhile, Gajeel and Levy walk their way to their house. A small note was pin on the door. Judging from the note and the handwriting, Levy could easily knew who writing it. "Who is it from?" ask Gajeel
"It's from Ren. He said he will decorating his house and be back before Dinner. He always been like this since he was a kid. He usually will clean up and decorating Natsu and Lucy house before Hanami Festival" Levy replied
Gajeel turn his head down, he was sad. If only time can be reverse back so that Ren would never be sad anymore. "Gajeel?" Levy call his husband.
"Hu..Huh? Oh. Don't worry, Ren will be fine. It's not like he always run into trouble like when he was a kid. He's a seventeen years old boy now. He can take care of himself" Gajeel encourage his wife.
"Hehe, I guess your right"
Amy, Meredy and Yajeh walk to the Master office which located upstairs on the second door. They knock the door. "Come in" said Master Edward. Amy and her friends walks in and sit down on the couch, its even comfortable then the wooden chair. "Now, I call you girls here is to help me decorating the Sakura Tree, it's one of the most important assets on the Hanami Festival" explain the Master
"The one that shine colours?" ask Meredy
"Yes, as you can see, it's our job as Fairy Tail highschool mage to decorated because we're one of the guild that will celebrated at this special place" said Edward
Amy and Yajeh shout happily. Only to be angrily scolded by Master Edward. "Now, Amy..about your question about Ren case, he's actually…no..usually celebrate alone in his house" Amy still waiting for the right answer. "Why?"
Master Edward look down to the floor, he was sad. "Ren case was …he want to be alone because he don't know how to celeberate the Hanami Festival with his friends.." Master Edward smile. Amy and the others shock.
"Whaaaaatt!? That's all? That Baka! I can teach him If he don't know how to celeberate with us..! Humph!" Amy gave a angry sigh.
"Wait! Amy! Calm down. Hmm..it's not that he don't know, he just sometime a lonely person..and hide his past" said Master Edward
"But…why did he become like that? I see Ren rather cheerful and happy person and not to mention always breaking things like my brother…" Yajeh ask while thinking the annoying face of his brother, Shutora.
"It's…something I cannot share with you all. It's all about Ren past and I hope you all never ask him about it..it would break his heart. Ren spends 10 years heartbroken and this year…he finally learn how to put the past behind him" the master sigh and sit on his chair.
Amy glances at the picture frame near her, which it's the picture of the Fairy Tail mage. There stood two people, one a male with pink hair, black orange trimmed waist coat and a blonde female with black and orange skirt. Master Edward glance at Amy.
Meredy was busying reading the books on the Master's bookshelve. "I say, this is some interesting books you got here, Master"
"Amy, if you could..please motivate Ren, I think you the only can since you both of you very close to each other" said Master. "Haa, Amy and Ren together? Could this be Amy? You found your love heh?" Meredy with her evil face, teasing and rubbing Amy's shoulder. Amy face become red, she blush. "N-no! That doesn't like it! I mean we are partners right? So of course we are very close!" shout Amy
Everyone in the master room laugh.
"F-fine! I-I motivate him.." Amy hide her blushing face.
The next day, the Hanami Festival come. Everyone prepare, Magonolia streets was decorated by colourful items and ribbons. There, a big Sakura Tree In the center of the streets and everyone enjoying their picnic and even play Binggo.
Fairy High School students went to the Sakura tree park and have such a wonderful moment. Elfman can be seen playing Bingo and sit beside his wife, Evagreen and their child. "If you a man then play bingo till you win!" shout Elfman
Mirajane and the Master host the bingo lucky winner. "Mina! Gambate!" shout Mira. Master Edward drink his beer. Lisanna and Bixlow were together sitting on comfortable mat. Azir, Rika, Mark, Rose were having a fun time playing bingo while Cody and Meredy scribble Azee's face with a colourful pen while he was asleep. "Kehkehkeh" Cody giggles.
Zen challenge Elfman a bingo game again. "Cmon! This time I'm gonna win!" shout Zen. Haze sit quietly behind the tree hoping his day wasn't been interrupting.
"Hey, where's Shutora, Yajeh and Amy?" ask Rose to Azir.
"Hmm, now that you mention it I haven't seen them either today…could they forget this meaningful day?" Azir ask
"Same goes to Ren, where is he?" ask Meredy
Meanwhile, Ren sit beside the window of his house, watching the people celebrate Hanami Festival, he wear red with black trimmed t-shirt, trousers, his scarf wrap around his neck and a headphone on his ear. He watch sadly.
