"Whaa-?! Did you mean you brought many people here just to celebrate your birthday?!"
Shinn was really shocked when Mayu told her plan for her birthday for tomorrow.
"I didn't bring them, I invite them, brother." She glared.
"But we don't have many wares and tables and…"
"Don't panic, my friends said that they will be the one who is in charge of this."
"But Mayu,"
Shinn was about to reason again why Mayu can't just celebrate her birthday with large people in their house, when the door bell starts to rang, the two both look at the door.
"Excuse me, maybe they're already here."
"Oh great," Shinn snap as he tap his forehead.
When Mayu opens the door, she found her two good friends waiting outside. "Happy Birthday, Mayu-chan!" They both greet.
"C'mon in." She welcomed, inviting the two inside their house. The two step inside. "Just put your things on that table." The two did what she told them, but before Cagalli put her things on the table, she notice a young boy who sat on the floor and looking strange. Mayu saw Cagalli staring at Shinn, so she began to introduce them from him. Miriallia wave her hands and smiled, but Cagalli just stared at his face as Shinn who looks at her familiar face and name, until they both shrieked. "You?!"
"Why are you doing in this house?" Cagalli began to accuse him.
"Well, as she said, I'm his older brother, and how about you little brat?"
"Ca-chan's not a brat!" She exclaimed, then her face smirk as she crossed her arms. "Like Mayu told you right now that Ca-chan's is your sister's best friend."
"Oh… I never thought that you two were known since then." Mayu murmured while she winks her one eye that confuse the two quarreler.
Miriallia seems to catch up on what Mayu's up to. She joined they're conversation and starts dragging Mayu away. "Shinn will you please help us to arrange this area, while Mayu and I, cooked?"
"No problem." He answered.
"How about Ca-chan, what will Ca-chan do now?"
"Ca-chan will arrange that area too."
"B-but… Did you mean Ca-chan and that raven brat will be together?"
But Miriallia and Mayu didn't hear her call, Shinn who was really annoyed, disappointedly answered her. "Of course silly, so don't just stand there and help me fix this couch area!"
"Mayu's right your really are so meannie brother, humph!"
"What did you say?"
But she ignored him and quickly hides herself outside, and work by herself, cutting the colorful translucent papers to make it as a design that will hang on the curtain and back ground. Shinn, who is simply glimpsing on the window, just watch her working. Mayu who observed his brother's behavior as he watched Cagalli, thought deep. 'Did he already fall for her?'
"Is that possible that your brother would fall to our friend? What did you think?"
"Are you nuts? There's no way I would fall for that girl?"
"B-big brother, I um, don't think it seriously, Miriallia just joking right?"
"O-Oh yeah, hehehe, don't think it serious. It was only a joked."
Shinn just ignored their explanations and continued on his work as he already finished cleaning, and arranging the tables and chairs. He is now covering the tables and chairs with pink and white mantle when Cagalli shows up handling the decorations.
Cagalli just passed Shinn like she's not seen him. As usual, the raven haired ignored her as well but he can't lose his sight on her when she finally steps on the non-mantle table and trying to tack her decors. He is worried that she may fall down and broke her bones. But she successfully tack it without any help, they both sigh as a relief that nothing happens to her and for her success. She was ready to step down when the rope hangs on the tack décor that have a nail on it, suddenly drop and will hit her head. "Watch out!" Shinn screamed as he came to the rescue, Cagalli heard his voice and she even catch the dropping nail but unfortunately Shinn can't control himself to stop from running.
"Look out!!! Aaaahhh!!!" As they both scream and crashed on the floor.
Milly and Mayu, heard them and quickly went to the couch area and leave the kitchen, and the two jaws were dropped when they saw Cagalli was on top of Shinn as the two lays on the ground.
"Are you two alright?" They're worried face came into burst laugh when they saw them fine, while Cagalli didn't even realize that she was still holding Shinn until Mayu and Miriallia once again teases the two.
"So how's the feeling brother?"
"Will you please stop it Mayu your really mean this time."
"I'm not mean to you, Ca-chan is cute and I wanted her to be your…"
"…my what?"
"Your friend too and maybe…" She naively cut again her statement.
"Don't be too far Mayu or else…" He now warned to the banter of his little sis.
"You're just green." She teased again and went grinning again. "Be nice to her, brother or else…" And before Shinn throw her a crumbled paper, she quickly ran and locked herself on her room until the visitors came.
Ca-chan opens the door and… "Teacher and classmates were here, please come in!" She calls, telling Mayu to come out inside.
Mayu opens the door when she heard her that her visitors were already there, she was already well dressed, and she was really happy to see them all.
"Mayu you're so cute. Happy birthday!!!" Greeted one of their classmates, can't stop but to admire when he saw her coming. Shinn glared to that boy and look at Mayu's face that turns to blush.
"Okay kids, before we eat, let's give our birthday presents to Mayu-chan as we sing a happy birthday song!" Teacher Murrue, informed.
And they all sing a happy birthday song as they give their presents to the birthday girl. Mayu is really happy and it seen on her face, even Shinn was happy that he saw her like these happy, thanks for her new friends. Miriallia help Shinn to prepared and serve the food to the visitors. Meanwhile, while they eat, the door suddenly knock three times, the people who were there exchange their looks. "Who is that?"
"I think its Manna." Mayu supposed. "I better open it now and explain."
"Okay."
Mayu didn't really think its Manna since she's busy with her work in the palace of Orb and it impossible to her to come just to celebrate with her birthday. So who could that be? Shinn was wondering too, but he thinks that it was only a late visitor but Mayu said they were the only one who she invited. The birthday girl opens the door but…
"There's no one out here." She closed the door, but it knocks again three times.
"Maybe it's only a wind blows."
So Mayu just ignored it but the door suddenly opens and to their surprise many balloons and balls appeared, and enters inside the house. "What was this all about?"
Mayu notice her teacher giggle and she thinks she was the only one who's behind this because her classmates even Shinn and Milly were confused too.
Then two shadows appeared from their sight as they heard those sings in male and female voice, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday Mayu!"
"Papa, Mama?"
"But it's impossible…"
"Mom! Dad!" Mayu run with tears as she hugs the unknown shadows.
"Mom, dad… I'm so glad you're here…Mom, Dad?"
"Hello, Mayu-chan, I'm sorry I'm not your dad, my names Mr. Joker." The man said who revealed his clown costume and face.
"It's Otosama?!" Cagalli confused.
"And I'm her assistant Mrs. Harley."
"And aunt Manna?!" Shinn was confused too.
Mayu looks disappointed that it's not what she thinks to come, but she was happy now that her kind teacher thought to have a clown on her birthday.
Mwu started to entertain the kids with some of his unofficial magic tricks that he learned when he was a little kid. His deceased father was once a clown before while his deceased mother was an entertainer magician on the circus, and they knowledge him with some of their talents and Murrue knows it so she ask him even he doesn't need to perform well.
"Why did I didn't think this when my daughter celebrate her birthday?"
And after some of his performances, Mwu called the birthday celebrant to come forward. Mayu do what he told her, close her eyes and put her hands together on her chest and make a wish.
"Okay little girl, you can blow off the candles."
And when Mayu open her eyes, she saw a cake with 10 candles handling by his parents. "W-what, is this real? Mom… dad…"
"Happy birthday daughter, were sorry if we surprised you this much."
Mayu was really, really felt happy, she didn't know that her tears soon give up as it falls down her cheeks. Shinn was really happy too and he came on them and hugged.
"This is a real family reunion" Mwu stated.
Cagalli nodded as she watched the Asuka's family been so happy. "Ca-chan is really happy for Mayu, otosama. Her dreams and wish is finally come true, unlike mine…" She cried as she remembered her past birthday. 'I dressed in green, they all look happy, so I must be happy, but why do I cry when I know my dreams can come true anyway?'
The party soon over and Mayu give their thanks to them, even her parents and Manna can't stay there for any longer. But before they left, her parents give her a pink cellular phone as a birthday present. "You can call us whenever you want, just dial our number here and…"
"I already know mom. Can I took you picture before you leave?"
"Sure why not,"
Shinn took the cellphone and about to take a shot but Cagalli snatch it from him and participate that she will be the one must took a picture with the Asuka's family.
Shinn beam and nod, and lend her the cellphone and, "Okay, say cheese."
"Cheeze!" Suddenly, a light flash on them…
