The week after the camp went by, until then everything was going very normal, Hellene, Akko and Marianne were getting together to discuss a little bit of the plan of the possible invasion to Croix and Ursula's room, with the intention of getting that book, discovering more secrets, Even some of these missions were being thought, a little also of the training with Atsuko to improve the metamorphosis spell, so that this way could help more with the plan, since only three of the girls have the conscience that the magic is something very real.
But there was also another event that delayed these plans, in this case it would involve the
very day that Akko would return from her mothers house on Monday of the following week, Hellene's fifteenth birthday, that the girls had planned something different since the beginning of the week, since Diana had warned them with a group of a more surprise party.
With Akko's arrival, it was just what was needed for the plan to get going.
Akko arrives early in the morning, even Croix and Ursula also had the notion that they were going to have this surprise party, Kagari as soon as she arrived was looking around the orphanage, as always with a smile on her face, until she was approached by Diana and Amanda who were in the courtyard.
" Come with us," the two said.
Both took Atsuko to one of the corridors of Luna Nova, since Hellene was at the skateboard track with Marianne there chatting with her, it was the perfect time for them to tell Kagari, a little more about their plans.
" Well Akko, you already know that today you were going to distract Hellene a bit, but we got some help from Croix and Ursula, they are going to take you for a walk around the city, so you distract the two girls, take them to some places you know, for sure I know you know Glastonbury better than any of us, besides you have a good relationship with my sister," Diana said.
" I hardly ever go out into the city, I've always enjoyed staying here the most, since you always go out it'll be even better, you and those two nutters get along really well," Amanda said as Cavendish ran her hand over her face.
" Amanda, don't talk about my sister like that, I'm listening to everything," said the Scottish woman with her hand on her face.
" I know Cavendish, that's why I want to pester you, but seriously now, leave your stuff in your room and then call the two of you for a walk " O'Neill said.
" You can leave it to me, I already know how to do it " said the Japanese woman.
The one with crimson eyes, leaves her things in the room, where she takes the opportunity to change clothes, putting on a more appropriate outfit to go out, with that she goes to the skateboarding track, where she arrives at Hellene giving a hug to the younger Cavendish that returns equally that affectionate contact of the two friends.
" Happy birthday Hellene," Akko said, hugging her friend.
" Oh thank you, I was waiting for you to arrive Akko... And even a present? " asks the Scottish lass, all impressed.
" Look I didn't have all the pounds in the world, but I decided to buy this to help you " said Kagari taking a small box from the pocket of her shorts, then the birthday girl opened it, tearing the box, revealing the gift that were boxes of bearings.
" Woah! this is wonderful Akko, new bearings, you really saved here, I can use it to make some more skateboards, for sure I will use this wisely, thank you for this wonderful gift " Said the redhead who stood hugging the brownish girl.
" It doesn't end here, the three of us little witches are going to take a walk around Glastonbury, I know the city inside out," said the crimson-eyed one.
" Take a walk in the city? Sure! I'm up for it! Croix and Ursula let you? " Said the purple-eyed one.
" And as they left, they are the ones who will take us to the city centre " said Atsuko.
" Come on then, Hellene, let's drop our stuff off, get changed and in ten minutes we'll come back here," Marianne said.
The two go running with all the animation of the world, each one for her respective room, what with that Akko is already warning Ursula and Croix to prepare the van, outside, besides Atsuko warning the whole group that everything was flowing, that the plan was going according to the planned.
The 10 minutes passed, Hellene left dressed with a pair of ripped jeans and a long t"shirt looking like a dress with a skateboard print, besides putting a cap back with a pair of jordans, Marianne opted for a pair of legging trousers, with an anime t"shirt that was put partially inside the trousers, and also a plaid t"shirt over them, wearing a pair of black high top all stars leaving the usual pony tail.
" Wow, you two look beautiful " Kagari said giving a good icebreaker.
" Oh thank you, I just wanted to come in a more myself way, as today is my birthday and I'm still going out for a bit " Cavendish said.
" Shall we go? " asks the Japanese woman and both agree with their heads.
The trio of girls gets in the van, leaving Luna Nova, they are even talking to each other about what they are going to do, how to have fun to spend that time, the Japanese girl was just looking at her mobile phone, seeing the conversations about the possible surprise party, telling the group that she was leaving.
[Akko: Liberated, I already have Hellene here with me, you can prepare the party].
[Diana: Thank you for your help Akko, you are the best person I could think of to meet my little sister (heart emoji)].
[Message deleted]
[Diana: I mean, it's very good of you to help]
At this time Kagari was just laughing at all the messages situation, continuing with the relaxed conversation with her friends, mainly about what they're going to do in Glastonbury. Quickly the time went by, the van arrives at the city centre, where from there, the three get off the van and then see Croix and Ursula leaving.
" Ahhh, finally in town, where do you want to go first? " asks the Japanese woman.
" Taco Bell! " They both say.
" Do you guys really want to eat taco that bad? " Said the crimson"eyed one, and the reaction of the two only showed how much they were quite keen to indulge.
" I've never had a taco in my life, it must be so tasty," said Marianne.
" I have eaten it a long time ago, it is very good, come on Akko Taco! " said Hellene.
The brownish girl was just going through the streets of the city centre, walking to where the Taco Bell was, the two of them were following her and started calling her friend Akko Taco, so much that the sound became funny.
At Luna Nova, the girls were putting the first touches on the surprise party, especially Diana, who was demonstrating all the appreciation she had with her sister, decorating and helping each one with that, without imagining how a birthday like that could be better than the others, she was really trying hard to give the best party to her sister. At
the Taco Bell, the three of them were eating tacos, with Marianne falling in love with eating each piece of the Mexican delicacy, as well as Hellene too, they went in a very curious way, having a great approach, what Atsuko came to notice, starting to take pictures of both of them.
" You two... You're so cute " Kagari said, even making Cavendish with her full cheeks go a little blushy.
" Me cute? I still wonder when you will be ashamed of yourself and say that you like her, or she will do that, you are in this waiting for each other thing that will take forever " said the Scottish girl after swallowing the food.
" It really isn't, you and Diana have so much chemistry, I wonder if you guys are never going to propose, or are you waiting for winter to come to do that hahaha " Leclerc said mocking the situation as well.
At this time the Japanese girl was only getting more embarrassed and was eating more quietly, which they were at the most laughing, then going back to eating all the rest of the tacos, until they were full.
What after leaving the Taco Bell, Akko goes with the girls to a shop that she always thought a little suspicious for selling witch stuff, in the name of the sign was even written a "The Last Wednesday Society", when entering there was a man with a goatee, and some things in the shop that looked like witches'.
" Woah! I always wanted to come here, but I was scared to death " Akko said.
" Welcome to The Last Wednesday Society, I'm Chum Lee, you can take a look at anything you want to pick up, we have everything for you to be the most charming witches in the united kingdom " Chum said.
They take a good look at what they have in the shop, taking a look at what looked like a book, which was priced very affordable, and they skim through it, kind of curious about the content, being shocked by what they have.
" These are real spells here " whispers Marianne.
" Shall we take it? " Akko asks.
" Is that a question? " Hellene replies.
The three get that book, then go on looking at other things, especially the wands, where each one is choosing one that fits them more, even going so far as to look at some paintings where they had photographs of witches, spells and everything else, pots with potions, brooms.
That specific shop was what enchanted the trio the most.
" You really like it here a lot," said Chum.
" Are you the one who does these things yourself? " Akko asks.
" Ah, I am just a salesman, I am not the owner of the shop, even though I live here, my boss is a girl who pays me to stay here and always distributes boxes with these things " answers Chum.
" I think we'll take just that for now, let's go until we come back another day " Atsuko said.
They decide to buy three wands, a book and some potions, plus ingredients, going afterwards to continue their walk through the city, where from there they went to a clothes shop, spending most of this time taking pictures of the clothes they tried on, and even bought some.
In Luna Nova the preparations were going on, the central patio was already being well decorated, with everything that a good party needs, besides that the food was being provided, with Lukic and Finnelan preparing all the food for the party, since the cake was almost ready, being kept in the fridge.
In Glastonbury the trio then after spending a good few minutes shopping for clothes, go to an arcade, where it was from there that they would spend most of this time, having fun playing most of the games that there in the machine had.
Some time later...
Hours had already passed the decoration and everything of the party was practically ready, what was really missing was the guest, that was where Akko looked at the mobile phone, noticing that the party was already ready, all that was needed was to call Hellene and that was what she did, after spending a considerable amount of time at the arcade. Well at this time Leclerc and Cavendish were playing against each other a game of The King Of Fighters 2002.
" Hey girls, Croix and Ursula said they are coming to get us, we have to go now, finish this counter and let's go back " Atsuko said.
" Ahhhhhh, but already, it's so much fun here, I could spend hours in this place, I would never get sick of it " Cavendish said.
Soon that battle of against ends, with that the three leave the arcade, staying in the centre of the city just waiting for the van that doesn't take long to come, what they go all the way talking with Croix and Ursula in how they had a lot of fun leaving to the city, they were just listening how Cavendish got excited a lot, and also Leclerc.
" Look, you can leave whenever you want, just ask us and we will take you to the city, but you might get lost in the middle of the forest and come back to Luna Nova, so you'd better go with us," said Croix.
" I'll love going out more often when you come here, this has been the best summer of my life " said the redhead smiling from one end of her face to the other.
Little by little they were arriving back at Luna Nova, it was already possible to notice that a music was playing, it seemed like a festival, when the van arrived, the three got off, noticing that in the courtyard it seemed that there was going to be a party, and Hellene went running, she already had an idea of what it was going to be, when she arrived in the middle of the place, she found several girls, Diana in the middle with her arms all open.
" Surprise! " Said the elder Cavendish, making her sister all emotional.
" A party... Surprise? Woah " Said the purple-eyed one full of water, thrilled crying with emotion.
" You deserve it all, my sister! " said the blue-eyed girl, who soon received a hug from her younger sister.
" I love you, I love you, I love you so much, you are the best sister in the whole world " said the redhead.
" Ah, there's nothing to be grateful for, I'm grateful to see you all happy and radiant like this, this is the way I want to see my little sister.
Akko and Marianne also arrive next, seeing the excitement that was in the place, with the bags full of shopping, then they stare at their friend who also smiled at them, seeing that everything that was done was a big of a huge planned surprise.
" You were into that too, weren't you? I was already a bit suspicious about this going out on my birthday, but then I just thought it was an outing that Croix and Ursula wanted to give me, but it was just a distraction from this party... Today is the best day of my life! I thank all of you who did all of this for me, even the ones who helped the least still helped and I am so grateful for you, I was really taken by surprise heh " Said Helene wiping the tears.
" Exactly Hellene, that's what we were planning, it was a little after the camp, the idea of the group came from your sister... " Akko tries to explain, but is interrupted by her own older sister.
" Actually this is Marianne's thing, she gave me this idea, she wanted to give something special to you, because she wanted an epic party, she wanted to see you like this," Diana said.
" I just wanted... I just wanted to see you happy Hellene, because you are the best friend in the world! You came here and lit this place up, you and Akko are my best friends here, I wanted to see you happy, you are one of the few who have a huge regard for me " Leclerc said scratching the back of her head.
The three then hug as a group, then Akko and Marianne with the bags in hand go leaving in the room, what Hellene goes chatting with the other girls, enjoying the party, eating the hot dogs that they had to spare, hamburgers, pizza slices, it was plenty food for all the girls of Luna Nova, delighting themselves with a party, what she was full of hunger.
Soon Akko and Marianne returned from their room as they left the bag, what there was Hellene swallowing a whole slice of pizza, at that Kagari could notice the look on Leclerc's face that even from afar was all happy.
" She's so cute isn't she? " The Frenchwoman said.
" Fluffy? Hellene is only with her cheek full of pizza, she looks like a bottomless bag that doesn't stop eating, I don't know how she doesn't get fat haha " Said the Japanese woman.
" I think she's cute, seeing her happy like this makes me feel something inside, I admit Akko, I think I'm in love with Hellene and it's been a while " said the dark haired one.
" Really? I always thought Hellene was the one with a shameless crush on you, but then why don't you take advantage of that? You two could make a wonderful couple " asks the brownish one.
" I still have a bit of a problem, I don't know if it's time, she's younger than me, and we're still teenagers, I just want to be sure of that, besides... Akko I don't know if Hellene will accept well the fact that I'm not a very comfortable person in terms of... I'm asexual, Akko " Marianne said, while Akko kept her hand on her chin.
" Look I'm sure Hellene would accept it well, we try to talk to her in a indirect way, maybe we can draw conclusions, I have no doubt that she would accept an asexual girlfriend in a good way, but this is really information that I never noticed " said Kagari.
" Ah I'm not much of a demonstrator either, there's no point in me telling everyone that I'm Ace, besides we're still too young to think about these things, only that I notice that Hellene seems to be someone who is hormonal," said Leclerc.
" Whatever happens I'm sure none of this would happen without making you uncomfortable, Hellene is respectful, but let's relax a bit, don't be discouraged, I know that in time you two will find each other " said the Japanese woman patting the French girl on the head.
A surprise party for Hellene who was turning 15, on a day that she could have as much fun as possible, where she went out with her friends that she holds so dear, have an unexpected surprise party, besides everything she discovered even more about magic, in a mysterious shop in Glastonbury that sells magic items in a very mysterious way.
Happy birthday, lesbian witches...
