AN: I had way too much fun writing this one. As in my family now is completely convinced I'm nuts as opposed to being on the fence about it. Also Cornelia is dead in this one: I realized that at one point it came off as cheating so I figured that I would clarify.

Cana was pretty sure she was going to be sick.

After finishing her job early, all she had wanted to do was go home and relax- and now she needed brain bleach.

Just seeing her dad- ugh no. Not going there. In fact, she was going to find someone who specialized in memory magic and pay whatever the fuck they asked for in order to get this- this- nightmare removed from her brain for good!

She was never going to sit on that couch ever again.

There was a gentle knock on her door.

Maybe if she was really quiet, he'd think she was asleep…?

No such luck.

The Ace poked his head in the door, wincing when he saw his traumatized little girl.

Fuck (No. No she was not going to think about fucking) she couldn't even look him in the eye-!

He slowly stepped into the room and then cleared his throat awkwardly," Um- Princess I feel like we need to talk about this."

Talk?! She didn't want to talk about it- she needed to forget it.

"Uh- no I really don't think we do." She said hurriedly, trying to stop him before he even got started.

"But- "The Ace looked like a big dumb puppy as he stuttered helplessly," Baby- I feel like you need to understand what you actually saw-"

"You were balls deep in some random chick- what else is there to understand?!" She said hysterically (ugh and now she was thinking of her dad doing- oh god she really was going to be sick), feeling slightly vindicated at her father's wince.

"W-Well Sweetheart its- uh, its- I feel like you need to understand that what you saw- well it doesn't mean that I've forgotten about your mother, I just- I- adults just have physical needs they need to fulfill…" He fumbled, trying to work out how to say, 'I'm sorry you walked in on me having sex'.

Cana had never understood the word 'mortified' as much as she did right now.

"Sweetheart… making love… its one of the most natural things in the world and you shouldn't be embarrassed by it, but you also shouldn't take it lightly either- "

"Dad, please shut up."

The crash mage flashed his child an anxious look," Baby, I really feel like we need to talk about this- "

"No, we don't!" Cana said desperately," Trust me- I understand just fine, this really isn't necessary- "

"Now- I really feel like I need to make sure that you know that this doesn't mean I love you or your mother any less, I just- have needs. And that girl also had needs that we decided to meet together- "

Was this really happening? Was her father seriously talking to her about his sex life?

"Consent is the most important thing. Well, actually protection is pretty important- but consent- "

Somebody in the guild specialized in mind magic, right? She needed the last week scrubbed from her brain- maybe even the last year! You know cover all the bases (ugh don't think about bases).

"-one-night stands are completely normal, but you have to remember that you are intimately sharing something- "

Why was he still talking?!

"- and you shouldn't be afraid to ask your partner about their sexual history and whether or not they have an STD or have previously been with someone who does have an STD- "

Okay, time for the big guns.

Cana forcibly started coughing as violently as she could, making tears come to her eyes as her father frantically cut himself off in order to start fussing over her.

"Sweetie are you alright?" He asked in a panic, one hand pressing quickly against her forehead," You feel warm- have you been having any headaches, chills, or- "

"C-can I have some water?" She asked, taking care to sound as pitiful as possible.

"Of course, sweetheart! I'll grab the cough syrup and thermometer too!" Gildarts said hurriedly before rushing out of the room.

The brunette gave it to the count of five before she was scrambling out the window.

The girls would let her hide out at Fairy Hills for a couple days and after the last job combined with her savings, she could afford six months rent- maybe she could even move right in!

She loved her dad, she really did; but right now, that love was temporarily suspended until either the last day became a slightly less present memory or she got it removed entirely.

Either way her sex life was going on hold indefinitely.
