P.O.V Gajeel
Rage and disappointment were the only things i was able to feel at the moment "This isn't my little sister, this isn't the strong girl i found all those years ago,this isn't my angel of hope" i still remember when i named her:
She had been in coma for a week already not showing any signs of waking up any time soon. Whenever i heard the nurses or doctors murmur things as 'Poor guy he just found her and will lose her' or 'She is not going to make it' i shut them up with an iron cub. Cause i knew that she will wake up, she must wake up i won't let her die when i just found her- Come on sis wake up!- i growled frustrated "Why is she taking so much time?!"- I promise you that i'll take you to the playground or i'll invite you some ice-cream, brats like you like those things. Don't you?- she didn't move even a bit. I stood up and began to pace angrily through all the room- What else would you like me to do?! Maybe you like movies?... or you prefer chocolate than ice-cream?... or you like to swim?... pool or beach?- i kneeled next to her bed and took her petite hand in mines- Come on little sis you need to wake up so you'll tell me what you'll like to do. I won't lose hope so don't you dare to do it!
-I prefer chocolate and the playground... but i had never watched a movie- even though it was a murmur her voice sounded so firm and sweet that caused my heart to stop beating "She is up... she is finally up!". She opened her eyes slowly, revealing two rubies... as mines- I heard your voice- she moved her head so she would be able to see me- Thanks, and don't worry i would never lose hope- she glared making me frown a bit "What have i done to piss her off?"- Don't you dare to judge me as a weakling if you don't even know anything about me!- she growled.
I blinked a few times until i broke into a true laughter, something i had never done since Metalicana left me, "So we have another thing than eye and skin color as similarity... she is arrogant and prideful as me!"- I like you brat- i confessed with a smirk that shown all my teeth. And it was the truth, by her look and the way she talks i know that she knows who she is and what she wants.
-Same here big bro- she smirked back and my heart missed a beat "S she called me big bro...".
-What is your name?- i asked her. Normally i wouldn't care about someone's name and only call them by the nicknames i gave them... but she was different. She was a Redfox, she deserves respect.
-Alice, Redfox Alice- she smiled sadly- But i don't want to be named like that anymore... i don't want to have the surname of a man that abandons his children or the name that i was given by a mother that obliges her own and only daughter to work for her and act as she orders.
I clenched my fists "She didn't have an easy life... i will change that"- Then change it- i told her causing my little sis to look at me surprise.
-Can i do that?- she asked innocently "Cute!... Wait a minute did i just call her cute?!... well she is my little sis so i think that it's ok...".
-Yes, you can- i chuckled when i saw her face lit up as a Christmas tree- Do you know what your big brother will rename you- i told her ruffling her hair and sitting down on a chair next to her bed- Mmm... what do you think about... Hope?
-Hope? Why would you name me Hope?
-Cause hope was the only thing i was thinking of during this week that you were in coma and you were the angel i was hoping for to release me from the solitude i was living in- i confessed gazing the floor with a bit of blush "Why am i acting like this?".
-I like it, Onichama- she giggled a bit.
-Don't you mean Onisama?- i asked with a big smile "She called me sama".
-No i prefer chama it sounds better- she pouted "Once again... cute!"- What about my surname? I love roses! Can i have them in my surname?- she used the best puppy eyes i had ever seen "Damn!".
-Ok, ok we'll use roses for your surname... rose... rose... rosetin... roset... no it doesn't sound right... i know! Rosetein, Hope Rosetein that sounds cute- i exclaimed.
-Cute?- she smirked teasingly.
-Shut up!- i barked with a deep shed of red but that didn't stop her from laughing... and neither stopped me from laughing too.
She never lost hope, not even once, and she always fought for what she wanted and won it at all cost. That's why seeing her like this... defeated was disgusting- What have you done with Hope, Alice?- i grabbed her from the throat and pined her against the wall- This attitude is for weaklings!- i growled, my forehead pressed against her's- You are acting as Alice Redfox would have done it, you are thinking too much and letting your feelings blind your judgment!
-It's that i don't know what to do!- she barked and pushed me away with a blast.
-Gihi- i laughed while standing up and locking my gaze with her angry and challenging one- That's what i'm talking about! This is Hope Rosetein!
-Yes, but Laxus Dreyer doesn't like me like this!- she shouted. Her gaze wasn't challenging and angry anymore, it was sad and angry.
I sighed and ran a hand through my hair "What should i do?... she always loved it when i sang... she used to call me El Gato, cause my voice always attracted cats. Maybe i could..."
Go with the flow from the Broadway show Alice in wonderland (what is happening)
Gajeel:
Bienvenidos to the neighborhood hang (she looked at me confused and i smelled a familiar odor causing me to smirk)
Say buenos dias to the rest of the gang (I pointed towards Lily, who was behind he, and he came flying next to mer)
Pull up a stoop and let's relax for a while
El Gato's gonna 'splain the facts for a while (she smiled sweetly understanding what i was trying to do)
Life's unpredictable-
Alice:
What a news flash! (she sang along but i noticed the sorrow in her voice)
Gajeel:
I see you see how it is (i smirked "at least she is trying")
The best laid plan of the mouse and man
Is to improvise the things you plan to do,
Get used to life on the brink ("please understand what i'm trying to say)
Way out on a limb
You don't need to think when it's sink or swim
No hesitating, no sense waiting
Why not jump right in and let the rhythm take you
Where you go with the flow (i took her by the hands and spin her around)
You used to be the best muchacha there was (she shook her head with a pleading gaze that broke my heart... but she needs to listen to this... she has to get back to who she was... not only for her... but for me too)
Before you got so dazzled by all the buzz (i ruffled her hair and she giggled a bit)
The you, you used to be, you gotta go find
The part of you that somehow got left behind
Turn up the music and put the top down
Let the convertible cruise
Get some amigos and close the shop down
And then listen what El Gato says to you (i put my forehead over her's)
My little Alice, be wise (she shed a single tear and smiled bittersweet)
You live on the ledge
Both:
You don't analyze about the cutting edge ("my song it's getting to her")
Gajeel:
Shut up and listen to what's missin' ("however, she needs to hear me first")
Till you hear the you, you used to be
and then finally
You go with the flow
You don't fight the tide
Then let your intuition be your guide ("that's what you always used to tell me)
Get back in your groove, then things improve when
You have decided to stop fighting it and
Finally you go with the flow
Don't need a lesson to stop your stressin'
Don't need a Ph.D
For you to heal it, you gotta feel it
Get it together and then let it be (A guitar solo began to play and we both looked shocked at Lily who was on his fighting form playing an electric guitar)
"It's a guitar" (i joked when Lily finally finished. she crooked her eye brows and smirked teasingly, muttering 'oh really! i did not notice' "she is back")
Turn up the music and keep the top down
Let the convertible cruise
Alice:
Get into gear (we both began to dance, even though i hate it "but it's for her")
Gajeel:
Get some amigos and close the shop down
And then close your eyes and improvise a tranquilizer
Go with the flow
Both:
You go with the flow
Lily:
Go with the flow ("i forgot about how good does Lily sing")
You don't fight the tide
Then let your intuition be your guide
Get back your groove, then things improve when
You have decided to stop fighting it
and finally you go with the flow
Gajeel:
You must learn to seize opportunities
There's no undertow going with the flow
P.O.V Lily
I really didn't know what was going on but what i knew was that Gajeel was trying to cheer Hope... and he succeed as always. I still remember my surprise when i first saw him acting so kindly:
-Where are we going Gajeel?- i asked my new partner who was running as fast as i could.
-Hope there's where we are going- he just answered leaving me with more questions. However, i shut up and flew behind him- I'm home!- he slammed the door of a house opened-Hope where are you?- he asked, i could sense that his tone was desperate. I didn't know him that much but from what i did recollect from the fight we had is that he doesn't act like this. He stood in front of a wooden door that was all scratch and had the word WOLF written with purple paint. Gajeel took a deep breath and murmured- Hope please tell me that you are all right?- he opened the door slowly as if he was afraid of the answer he was going to find behind it. When it was completely opened it revealed a little girl with short purple hair sleeping on bed- Thank god that you are ok!- he exclaimed with a big smile of relive. I blinked a few times confused and surprised at the scene in front of me- She is my little sister- he told me before walking next to the bed and shook her a bit- Come on Hope! Wake up your by brother missed you- he whispered sweetly. Now i was beyond shock "This is the Gajeel Redfox that i fought against in Edolas?... he is so different... but i like him better as this" i let myself the satisfaction of a small smile.
-Mmm... Onichama?...- she asked sleepily rubbing her eyes. Then she opened them as wide as plates, revealing a pair of red eyes as her big brother, and she jumped hugging Gajeel- Is it you? Is it truly you or a dream?- she began to cry when Gajeel caressed her hair- You didn't leave me alone- she sighed happily.
-Of course not!- he exclaimed tightening his hold around her- I'm your Onichama after all, those fucking bastards of Edolas took as away- he growled "What kind of vocabulary is that? And in front of a kid?".
-What is Edolas? And since when do you have and exceed partner?- she asked innocently.
-Oh right! He is my new partner and would be living with us since now on- Gajeel told her and chuckled at her excited expression.
-My name is Phanterlily, a pleasure miss...
-Hope, Rosetein Hope- she smiled sweetly.
-Can you please tell me, what is going on?- i asked them amused and confused at the same time. They were having a hug competition... and Gajeel looked... hilarious!
-Let's say that i lost myself... and Gajeel helped me out- Hope told me smiling up at her big brother- And i decided to win Laxus Dreyer's heart just as i am- my jaw dropped "What in Edolas is going on?!".
-Gihi! That's the attitude!- Gajeel patted her head- Wait a minute!- he shouted causing us to look at him confused- That means that he will be taking my little sister away from me!- Hope and i sighed and spent the rest of the night preventing Gajeel from committing a murderer .
-Why didn't you use your sleeping spell before?- i asked Hope.
-I forgot about it- she chuckled- Thanks for the help Lily.
-Don't worry, what is family for?- i smirked evilly- And what is that about winning Laxus Dreyer's heart?- i laughed at her deep shade of red "The Redfox family is so fun to tease!".
