Hi y'all! I should've posted this earlier. Oh well. I was able to whip up this for everyone really quickly, though! Happy Thanksgiving!

Beneath the Stars

By Gold Sparrow

Thanksgiving Special:

Stars on the Wall

It was a nice Thanksgiving, the Sindria mansion glowing like a candle and swollen with people. The party was in full swing; Khadeja in a staring contest (or glaring) with Ja'far, Bad and her group of friends laughing together, Asad dancing with his new girlfriend Kougyoku on the dancefloor.

And Centola over by a wall, smiling at what it holds.

"You like it?" Sinbad asks, strolling over.

"I take it Mr. Abraham is still not interested in talking to you?"

"Not since he heard that I made a deal with his father."

"Oh. Mr. Abraham."

"Why do people do that?" The man asks, hands in pockets. Centola giggles.

"David is psycho, Sinbad."

"Yes, but it seems to be universal. Mr. Abraham." The host shakes his head and once again motions to the wall. "But do you like this?"

"Very much. Was it your idea?"

"Zeina's."

"Ah."

"Don't 'ah' like that." The young De Coverna just shakes her head and smiles. "And don't do that either!"

"May I put one up?"

"Yeah. That's what the table is for." Centola goes up to the table against the wall, and picks up a sharpie and a yellow piece of paper in the shape of a star. On the star it's written,

I'm thankful for _

And a place for her name above it.

She writes what she wants and tapes it to the wall, admiring the others before hers.

Eren- My bothersome little sisters

Cat- The dojo

Bad- My family/pranks

Yunan- my precious daughter

Yamu- Bad 3

Hakuei- My little brother

Sinbad- Sindria!

Zeina- The Caverna* Orphanage

Khadeja- Centola.

Ja'far- Peace and quiet.

Aladdin- All my friends!

Alibaba- My mother and Kassim

Morgiana- The dojo

Hakuryuu- My older sister

Asad- playing pranks with Judal

Judal- Playing pranks with Asad

Kassim- Anise and Alibaba

Kouen- Books.

Koumei- Sleep 'n pigeons

Kouha- My brothers and sisters.

Kougyoku- My wonderful siblings!

Solomon- My son.

Masrur- …Food. I guess.

Cent- My dear family.

She laughs at all the things written, and begins to step away. Bad zooms in from nowhere and plucks the sharpie out of her hand, grabbing a fresh star from the table.

"Writing two?"

"I'm changing my answer!" She announces, and grabs her pre-existing one from the wall. She replaces it, and nods her head in satisfaction. As she skips away, Centola reads what she wrote.

Bad- Everyone. (Except for Alibaba.)

Sparrow-Chan: I'm thankful for all my loving family, my siblings and my parents. Even my crazy aunts, uncles and cousins. Without them I wouldn't be who I am today.

^^^I'm thankful for my family, but they're nuts. Every Thanksgiving we have an annual football game during the day and then a large-scale family dinner. Most years we have around 50-60 people, but this year it was more 35-40ish. And it wouldn't be a "Sparrow" family Thanksgiving if someone didn't have a meltdown, family gossip wasn't shared, and there wasn't some sort of dinner after dinner to actually get food in your belly. Last year cousin Shelly had a meltdown, and the year before that her sister Sara had one. Also my dad got drunk last year and spent the ride home in the backseat laughing at the same joke for ten minutes. We had a bit of a tiff between aunt Leslie and cousin Jenna, because Jenna was mad a Kait, Leslie's daughter. Also, one of the awards we give away yearly exploded, so that was a nice touch. Oh, and we rounded off the night with some good old fashioned gambling.

We're Irish, if you couldn't tell.

But I love 'em all the same.

(Writing this I realize where I get inspiration for Zeina's antics from.)

Stars: This comes from something they did at my school, actually. They let you write down things you were thankful for and then posted them around campus. It was really sweet, so I used it for this :)

*Anise: I'm gonna have her be alive. And Kassim + Alibaba live with her. Annnnd she's not a prostitute. I want everyone to have happy endings in this AU :)

*Caverna: This is spelled correctly, and once we get to the De Coverna arc you'll know why.

Catrina + Mor's answer: I was gonna have Cat put down 'family', but I didn't want too much of that. So instead, she and Mor put down 'dojo', because Catrina's father in this AU owns a dojo. They put that as their answer because everyone at the dojo is like family :) :) :)
