Note: I will be working on some other one-shots involving Sawyer and Richard. I don't do a lot of those two so *sigh~*

Requester: Lieutenant Myst

Erik stared at the dark haired two year old girl, who was staring up at him with wide brown eyes, a smile on her face as she noticed that the older man was looking at her. The Mage known as Cobra scoffed. "Why are we watching her again?" he demanded, making his way over to sit next to Sawyer, who was snacking on a cookie, not having a care in the world.

It was hard to believe that the little button (Ultear), use to be one of the strongest wizards in Fiore. Now, she was a small girl that needed to be protected. His dark eyes softened as he glanced at her, noticing how fragile she was. Also, she had a weird obsession with daisies, for whatever reason. A second ago, she was babbling on to Sorano about the 'pretty flowers'.

"Beats me. Meredy and Jellal went out. Something about Erza wanting a double date or whatever," the Speed Mage replied with a bored sigh as he chomped on his cookie, leaving crumbs all over his lap. "I'm bored. Sorano, do something interesting."

"Like what?" the white haired girl questioned, raising an eyebrow with an un-amused look on her face. Folding her arms, she tapped her foot impatiently.

"Well you could-"

"No."

"You didn't even hear what I had to say!"

"I know you well enough to take a big guess on what the request was." With that her dark blue eyes narrowed, shutting the Racer Mage up as Erik chuckled.

"Wimp."

"She's scary!"

Macbeth yawned as he outstretched his arms. He was rudely awakened by the small little fight Erik and Sawyer were having, something involving Sorano and 'terrifying'. Well, he didn't want to get into that. Getting up from his spot in the corner in which he was taking a nap in, he noticed something was missing. No, someone. "Where's Ultear?" he asked plainly, thinking that she was probably playing hide and seek.

At everybody's silence and the sudden panic on their faces, he knew exactly what that meant.

"You lost a child?" Richard demanded, stepping forward with more chocolate chip cookies. A look of fear flashed over his face as he looked around, nearly bumping into Macbeth who was heading outside. The dark haired man let out a grumble as he took one of the cookies from the plate Richard was holding. He chomped on it as he prepared to bark- no, give out, some 'orders'.

"Sorano, you're with me. Erik and Sawyer, you two go together. Richard, stay here just in case if she comes back," the Reflector Mage ordered, everybody jumping into action almost as if babysitting was some sort of impossible mission that could get them killed if they didn't do it right.

Somewhere in a Field

Young Ultear was in a field of daisies, smelling them as well as playing with the white flowers. Her brown eyes were full of happiness as she rested her head against the pretty scented flowers, her purple hair already a mess. She heard footsteps coming in her direction and noticed Sawyer, who was stomping on every flower in his path, almost as if it were a bug. Her eyes widened in horror. "Murderer!" she yelled, apparently, the Racer Mage didn't hear her.

Or, he just ignored her. How rude!

"I told you guys to split up. You idiots just followed me!" Sorano exclaimed, walking forward in the field of daisies, making sure she wasn't stepping on anything that could hurt her feet. She was in such a hurry that she came out barefoot.

"Yeah right. Your lost, so you followed me instead."

A little Ultear felt two people sit on either side of her. She noticed a man with red hair and a scar, who laid down in the field, and another man with feminine like facial features, who twirled a daisy in hand. Both seemed relaxed, and also relieved. Smiles were on their faces.

"Why hang around flowers when you already are one?" Erik asked, slowly closing his eyes as he let the wind blow his hair out of his face, feeling relaxed.

Macbeth gave the little purple haired girl a small smile as he put the daisy he was holding in her hair. "See all these flowers? That's how much we want to keep you safe," he stated, his green eyes softening.

Ultear gave them a beam as she kicked her feet in the air. "Okay! Just make sure I can protect you too, alright? I wanna learn magic!"

"Sounds like a plan."

Note: this didn't really have a plot.. it was kind of meant to be cute.
