Epilogue/Chapter 10: The Birthday

*sniffles sniffles*... WAHHH! IT'S OVER! Hey, I'm sorry! I'm kinda a new writer (If 3 months count?), and this is my first fic that had been liked this much! (And the first multi-chap that I have completed). I deserve to cry! I've learned so much and everyone has been so kind to me in this story and and… *bawls* I'll save this stuff for the end.

Still, this is my first Vocaloid fanfic… Anyways, people, if you have good ideas or prompts for Vocaloid fanfics that you think I'll like, please tell me! 'Cause I don't think I'll write another one without inspiration. I need inspiration for all my fics (Neochild was where my basic ideas for this sprung off of. But barely. Anyway, I loved that fic, though it confused me, and it's also RinxLen, so I tell you people. Go read it!).

I hope I get up to 20 favorites at least… Ugh 15 go up…

Anyway, reviews~

StU . DyInG: So sorry about your name :( Doc Manager really sux sometimes. Thanks for reading and everything~ *tries not to be sappy*. Btw, I might do a Romeo and Cinderella fic for Rin and Len soon (cause I love that song waaaayy too much), so if you want, I can tell you when I do.

Magical Witch Auri: LUCKY! YOU HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY AS RIN-SAMA AND LEN-SAMA! Boo! I was born in September… Bad feeling? Nah, don't worry this is one of those fluffy epilogues. Wait, oops! There are like one or two twists? Heh he…

This has over 900 views! Whoo! *waves arms like the crazy person I am*

Rin: Stop fangirling!

Len: Stop rambling!

Me: Aww… Lenny, Rinny, I'll miss you two too!

Rin & Len: We won't miss you… *mutters* crazy girl…

Me: Tsunderes~

Without further ado, I present the epilogue! (And another super long author's note at the end that you probably should read)

I also changed the POV up a bit, so it's more of third person omniscient instead of limited.

…

Mayu gently teased the knots out of her long platinum blond hair. This was the day! She was finally ten! She would show everyone that she wasn't a kid anymore!

Grumbling, she slowly dressed herself in a snowy dress. It wasn't fair! Why couldn't she just wear her favorite piano one? Mother was always like, "Mayu, you cannot wear childish dresses when you are a princess-". But why?!

No Mayu. She scolded herself. You are not a kid anymore.

"Your Highness." Someone chided from the door. "Come. You are late."

Mayu glanced up to meet the familiar cerulean gaze of Luka, her mother's advisor. Though she could be a kind and caring aunt, she was still quite strict. "Alright." She replied, straightening her back. "I'm ready."

Two voices snickered from behind Luka. Mayu craned her neck to spot her aunt, Teto, and her adoptive daughter, Akari. They looked nothing alike, one with long lush dark hair, and the other with crimson twin drills.

Akari was actually Aunt Rui's daughter, but Rui had an affair with a human. To leave the island, a witch must reproduce, and therefore she had Akari before escaping with her human husband (who had somehow stumbled across the island), Hajime Yosei. Teto, who had became close with Rui after the whole fiasco involving the 100th Draft, took Akari in as her own. Rui never wanted to leave her, but she also did not want to live in shame on the island with a human husband who refused to become a warlock. This however, did not help Akari's sense of betrayal…

Well, moving on.

"Akari!" Mayu fumed, her little face scrunching up with anger. Akari, being older at age 12 simply giggled.

"Mayu. I thought you wouldn't be a kid anymore." As shy and sweet as she was, she also had a mischievous side.

"But-"

"Come on!" Akari dragged the little girl out of her bedroom, ignoring the younger girl, the princess whining the whole entire time. "You aren't excited to see your party?" That shut her up.

This time, it was Mayu dragging the older girl.

She burst into the ballroom, but it was unoccupied. Pouting, she searched the other rooms for her own party, scowling when she found nothing. Akari very much nearly died with laughter as she watched her best friend.

"Silly!" She laughed as Mayu returned to her, still fuming. "They're outside!"

With these words of precious information, Mayu dashed outside, leaving the older girl out of breath. And to think she said that she wouldn't be a child. She watched, amused, following in a more calm manner.

…

"Mayu!" Mayu beamed as her mother rushed up to her. Her party was in full swing. "I'm sorry, Mayu. I would have made it a surprise party, but unfortunately, it is not fit for a princess."

"Of course, mom- mother." Mayu caught herself. "Do not worry."

"Mature now, hmm?" The Queen seemed quite amused. Mayu adored her mother's short golden blond hair. It shone in the sun and looked simply gorgeous in a tight bun, adorned with valuable jewels. Her father's hair was the same shade, perhaps a shade darker. Her's, however, was platinum blonde, almost white. Though she loved it, she also wished that her hair was more like her parents'- No Mayu! Focus. You are an adult today, a two digit age! You can't afford these childish thoughts!

Rin watched her daughter's struggle with a light smirk. No one grows up at age ten. "Anyway!" She lightly clapped her hands in a regal manner, befitting of a queen. "The guests are here, Mayu! Better go greet them."

"Yes, mother." Mayu tried to contain her excitement with a formal pose. Rin almost burst out laughing at how hard she was trying. "I will go immediately." The princess headed for the gifts, back straight, head high.

After the princess was well out of sight, Rin heard a stifled chuckle from a deep voice behind her. She let out a soft giggle as well at her daughter's expense. "She's failing isn't she?" The enticing voice asked.

"Len!" She slapped her husband's arm, gently though. "Don't be so mean! She's trying!"

"Since when were we ever so regal?" He snorted in exasperation. He never understood why their daughter wanted to be so formal. "Where did she get it from anyways?"

"Well…" Rin pondered. "I guess it would be hard to act like a kid when the whole country stares at you in awe. I mean, most Elementals die before they have children, usually by being involved in some mad affair. And when you're an Elemental yourself, it would be even more stressful."

"..."

"Len?"

"Who are you and what have you done to Rin?"

"S-shut up!" Rin flushed. "What's your problem?"

"When were you so analytical?! The Rin I know always acts on instinct!"

"Being queen makes you analytical!"

"Not really?!"

A light cough caused the two of them to glance up at the white figure, two gorgeous wings spread. "Uh uh, otouto, imouto." Lenka scolded in her native language. "The king and queen are not supposed to do banters in their courtyard."

Now they both flushed. While Lenka didn't look a minute past eighteen, Rin and Len were both twenty-nine. Which made being scolded by her very embarrassing.

"Lenka!" Rin complained as her sister-in-law giggled.

"Whatever." Len regained his composure much faster. "Is everyone here?"

"Yep~ I turned invisible and snuck in before Mayu could greet me! Seriously! My little niece is too polite to everyone! Including her own aunt!" Lenka pouted.

"Speaking of which…" Len trailed off.

Rin craned her head to spot what he was looking at. A group of six people approached them, led by Mayu.

Neru, the Lightning Witch. Over the years, she finally stopped wearing her hair in a side ponytail and began wearing it down. Her gold eyes glittered brightly as she greeted Rin with a hug.

Rei, Neru's husband and warlock. He bent down to greet his niece, Akari, first. She gave him a hug. Though she felt betrayed by her mother, Teto was like a second mother to her, and Rei a second father.

Galaco bounded over to greet her cousin as well, smiling happily. The child was the same age as Mayu. She had her father, Rei's, dark hair, but also Neru's blond hair. It was an interesting split in half.

Then, followed Haku. She hadn't changed a lot from twelve years ago, but her face had matured a bit more. Her husband, Kiyoteru was by her side, along with their eight year old daughter, Yuki.

"Everyone!" Rin and Len greeted in unison. "Thanks so much for coming!" Rin added happily.

"Of course!" Neru replied.

"Come on!" Mayu beamed at the other girls. The four of them raced off through the courtyard, laughing happily. Mayu is too excited to act formal. Rin thought smugly. I thought so.

"You owe me ten dollars, Len." She smirked smugly.

The others raised an eyebrow. Len grumbled. "Damn. I thought that she would at least be stubborn enough to keep it up." He fished out the money, handing it to his wife. They had checked out America a couple of years ago, fascinated by the paper currency. Now, they have a betting competition to see who has the most. Paper was rather strange for witches who used gold or silver. The others laughed joyously at Len's defeat.

Haku smiled. "By the way, Rin-sama." Haku changed the subject, addressing Rin in a teasing tone. "How is this decade's Draft?"

"It's fine. Mayu will have to wait for the next one, though. Tiring, yes, but we have one hundred and fifty human males roaming the streets, anyway." She replied dryly. Yes. A normal Draft is when the humans occupy Magia for some time. The last one was definitely not normal. She realized something. "Hey, don't call me that!" Len snickered.

"I wouldn't be saying anything, Len-ou-sama." Neru teased. (A/N: Correct me if I'm wrong, but google translate says that means king.)

The two Royals simply glared. The other four burst into light laughter, the pleasant sound echoing around the courtyard.

A warm summer breeze blew through. As their friends conversed amongst themselves, Rin rested her head on Len's shoulder. The peacefulness, hopefully would last long.

Cerulean orbs sunk each other into their depths. Love was a fragile thing, they knew. But the thing bond could also be increasingly strong. All of this love depended on one thing. All of this peacefulness.

All twisting and changing with the fate of each Draft.

…

Ah, epilogue done! Arigato, minna!

Sadly, it's only 1.5k words (not including my notes).

I decided not to do an omake for Rui and Rei, sorry!

IT'S DONE, IT'S DONE, IT'S DONE! Now, I'm probably gonna write Romeo and Cinderella, but whatever for now! It's DOOONNE! I'm-

Ok, I'm done for now.

The ending was terrible, don't judge.
