POV Narrator:
Monday, 30 April 2018, Luna Nova
The days have passed since the classes started and things have changed for the better, at least in Akko's side, that was little by little in each class showing a little improvement, getting a better position, with her grades growing, her magic had been awakened in the moment of the missile and all the dormant potential was brought out, showing that it was all because of that magic theft that kept her from improving, what nobody in the class expected. In the meantime Kagari decides to plan something special, with the help of Hannah and Barbara they are preparing things for a surprise party on the 30th, Cavendish's 16th birthday.
The day arrives, and the Japanese girl decides to play a little charm to distract the Scottish girl from everything, while the blue team's room is being prepared for the surprise party.
POV Diana:
Classes are over, everyone wished me happy birthday everywhere, I even got used tae it, I even ate a cake at lunch time, today was like any other day around here, at least it's better than I used tae live in the Cavendish family mansion when I was at the mansion... Soon Akko arrives a bit of a runner, clumsy as always, she rubs the back of her neck, takes my hand which makes me a bit embarrassed, I still can't control myself much.
"Hey, does Diana want to go out today?" Said Kagari tae me and that's fine with me, today is my birthday, she might want tae go out with the lassies tae The Last Wednesday Society.
"Hm, I even want tae, it might be nice, have fun with ye and the lassies..." Just as I say this, she puts her finger over my mouth.
"I didn't say who it would be with, there won't be them, let's go out, me and you, just the two of us, let's enjoy a date" I froze, at the same time my face was boiling in gay panic, fae the nine lesbian witches.
I dinnae even react at the moment, seeing her all cute, even blushing, but laughing anyway, I just nodded my head, while she kept laughing like a little fool, I was just thinking a thousand things in my head, I can't believe she called me before me tae go out together on a date... I'm going crazy in my head, Holy lesbian Beatrix, pull yerself together Diana.
"Och sure, ah accept yer offer akko, a'd loue tae git oot fur a bit, surprise me" I just can't, my words all curl up in front of this lass, why did I have tae be sae emotional like this... By the nine lesbian witches.
"Hahaha, you always shuffling the words, I think your funny accent is really cute, so come on, come with me" she said holding my hand and we went tae the outside of Luna Nova.
We get some brooms, which is different tae see, this time it's Akko who flies, I was just following her on the way, where we pass tae the city of Glastonbury, but I really dinnae expect her tae keep flying, I thought we were going tae The Last Wednesday Society, apparently she's wanting tae surprise, sae much so that I fly a little faster tae be next to the Japanese girl.
"Where are we going Akko? I thought ye were staying in town" I tell her.
"Ah just follow me, I thought of something different, we already walked Glastonbury from end to end, maybe it's better to go somewhere new and we can talk amongst ourselves, maybe get to know each other better, you and I have seen each other so many times, I want to know more about Diana, More than just the girl who is now obsessed to find her mother" Akko said and I'm even more embarrassed, she's very good with words, or I'm just too emotional tae feel every word she says, ahhhhh, I need tae keep my concentration here, or I'll end up hitting something.
That landscape of the sky in the background is the most beautiful thing in the world, I have tae admit, I even feel comfortable, seeing Akko beside me too, she with that beautiful face, that every now and then blushes a little and stares at me with a smile, I feel all happy, it's strange, but at the same time it is comfortable, a feeling of happiness and euphoria fae being beside someone sae special and nice like Akko.
After a long flight they reach the city of London, where Akko stops in the air near the Big Ben tower, flying close to the tower...
"Did ye take us tae London?" I ask confused and at the same time it was a bit of a suspicious trip, but at least we got tae chat a lot.
"Come here Diana, come closer" she said and I went flying towards her getting very close, where out of nowhere I feel something holding me, she used a spell with her wand.
Pulling me closer tae nothing I was very close tae the point where we touched lips, it was a sensation of enormous relief, I had never kissed in such a way, in the air and with a landscape like this, I felt the happiest witch in the world, the luckiest, Akko is a very good kisser, she felt her lips, then her tongue entering my mouth, ahhhhh, I was doing the same, getting into the kiss until we were separated and she was facing me with a look full of herself.
"Did you like it?" she said blushing.
"Ah, ah, ah loue it, a'm feeling oan clood nine" I ended up sort of winding myself up again, with which she soon went flying off in another direction.
After such a kiss I even followed her going with the broom swinging a little, I lost even the notion of the direction of sae gay that I ended up getting, we arrived in the middle of a shopping mall, where she landed, me too, in this we take the opportunity tae leave the brooms compact and I offer my arm tae her that fits all cute, we go walking looking around, some people with ugly faces, they can't even accept a couple of women, but I dinnae care, I'm happy and beautiful beside my Akko, where we go walking until we arrive at a Starbucks.
"Do you want one?" Akko asks.
"Sure, let me pay for those" I tell her.
We order two Frapuccinos with chocolate and also some biscuits, which I use tae take my mobile phone and take pictures of the cups with our names on them, it was the cutest thing I could think of at the time, we also take a picture of us together, which made me feel looser, little by little controlling my panic, sae much that I gave her some cookies in her mouth and she did the same.
"You're cute like that Diana, this side of you is something we almost never see," she said.
"I'm slowly getting there, but tell me, how do ye feel baby? Are ye enjoying hanging out with me?" I tell her.
"I'm loving that you're a good kisser and you also know how to be affectionate, even though you're always rolling with your accent, but tell me, what do you like to do, what are your favorite games? What do you like to do to pass the time, can't be that for someone who has a PS3, you spend all day reading books" she said and I was just laughing, I really created this fame, but I'm nae like that.
"Ah, my favourite game is Witch Tale from Super Nintendo, it was one of the things I took with me before the fire, my SNES with my games, I love every game from Saoirse games, ye must have noticed, I like tae spend my time playing and talking tae someone about things, sometimes watch some cool movies, ye know, have you ever seen Clockwork Orange? Donnie Darko? 2001: A Space Odyssey? I like movies like that, drawing too, and there's a little secret that nobody knows, but I love anime"
"By the nines, you're one of those who likes movies that you have to think, I would sleep watching with you, I love animated movies, watch the four Shrek movies, or whatever hahaha, my favorite movie is Kung Fu Panda 2, I love Lord Shen as a villain ... And you also like Witch Tale? I love it too, it's very cool, it's revolutionary, the game has all simple graphics, but at the same time it's fun, I love to do all the endings, especially the pacifist, I've played many times in the home computer, playing emulator" She said and I was getting all excited, now she is talking my language.
- Ahhhhhhhh, I love the pacifist route, with all the revelation of Kara having two mothers who ended up sacrificing themselves in the name of protecting both worlds and that she was a witch half monster and half human, it was all amazing when it was revealed that, we dinnae even have the notion and the villain being her aunt who stayed the whole route helping us just tae make her plan work... I need tae play this again, but the TV there is nae good to play in the best experience, I had a tube TV at home and played on it, playing every year at least once" I say tae Akko that is making the face that hears everything.
- You're really passionate about this game aren't you? I never thought I'd find someone who was such a Witch Tale fan, I think I know what your present is going to be then" she said and I was getting a bit blushy.
- Akko! Nae need, a TV like that ye can't find anywhere" I tell her nodding while she just shrugged
After drinking the Frapuccinos, they go walking in the corridors of the mall, where there was a shop with old things...
We enter an antique and used furniture shop, I am quickly surprised, there are old video games around here, even too many, at this Akko picks up a tube television and I can't believe she is actually going tae do this, holding the huge television she goes to the cashier where she leaves it for take away, I keep my hand on my face.
"Nae need Akko, besides where are we going tae play? Luna Nova forbids technology" I tell her.
"That TV in your living room is what? Hannah and Barbara are watching Netflix and you're there sucking your thumb without reacting or anything, let's take the opportunity and have a TV specially made so we can play Witch Tale, I want to see you playing and commenting, after all you need to play once a year isn't it" She said paying the TV and then turning it into a keychain.
"Ahhh Akko, ye are stubborn indeed, but thank ye very much, I loved the present, but ye dinnae need all that" I say half embarrassed.
"You're right, it needs a lot more" Akko said, rubbing her finger on my chin, and with that I was dying of embarrassment.
"Akko!" I say half blushing, but slyly too, sort of clinging tae her arm.
We continued walking around the mall, where we entered the Arcade, from there she put the coins and we started tae play a little air hockey, I got really excited, it was a long time since I played, the last time I did that was when I was a child and I went out at the mall with Hannah and Barbara, a long time ago, when I could still be a child and Holy lesbian Beatrix, how could Akko play so well.
"I'm just warming up here Diana, you'll react" she said teasingly.
I was trying to do a bit better, but things got tricky, she really is excelling, but I'll manage tae turn the game around, I have tae concentrate, worse I can't, look Akko sae cute Ahhhh.
Simply Akko won 10 to 0 of Diana, leaving the Cavendish all distracted when admiring the beauty of the Japanese girl, and then they kept having fun most of the time in the arcade, they even hugged each other a few times, with many selfies taken, having a lot of fun, and Diana was falling more and more in love with Akko...
Seriously, this has been the best birthday of my life, I can't believe that Akko can make a day that I hate sae much into a day that I'm finally making the most of, ahhhhh, she has this power to brighten things up, I feel so happy, lucky tae have someone like Akko, she's really a wonder, a friend and even a girlfriend one day, until my stomach accidentally ended up rumbling.
"Ohhhhhhhh, looks like someone's hungry isn't it" Said the Japanese woman which made me even more embarrassed.
"Akko, ah'ament... Ah'ament hunger" She shuffles me all over Ahhhhhh, how can she have that power, leave me flat.
"Let's go to Burger King, have you ever eaten?" I never ate fast food, my aunt said it was poor food and indecent for a girl like me.
"If I ate I would be disowned that's for sure, my aunt dinnae want to see me eating fast food under any circumstances, that I should eat food tae match my position sae as nae tae embarrass the family" I tell her.
"For everything has its first time" she said as she went to the Burger King queue.
Ahhhhhh, I can't believe it, it must be sae good, I can't wait tae find out what it is like tae eat fast food, I always see girls eating and talking about how good it is, in the series they are enjoying hamburgers and I'm always sucking my thumb, having tae eat fancy things, things that have nothing tae do, they're just fae looks, but I wanted tae see, I wanted tae have this curiosity, even if it's tae make me less healthy.
"Two full whoppers, with large potatoes, I'll also have onion rings to go with it and barbecue sauce, and a cream ice cream make sure to whip it up" Akko said placing the order
When the request came...
We both sit at the table and it looks very delicious, she ordered quite a lot, I can't believe it, I take the sandwich and start tae bite into it, the greasy taste comes all over my mouth like an explosion of flavours that I've never felt before, it's very different from what I've eaten, even if it's tasty when it comes medium rare, but this here, this is different, hmmmmmmmm.
"I guess you liked it a lot, didn't you" Akko said, passing the crisps on the ice cream, which I thought was strange.
"Hmmmmm, this is really good, it's different from what I've eaten, it's nae better, but it's different, it's in a different good way"
In this I was also eating the fries and it's different from what I usually eat from potatoes, it has the same flavor, but crunchy on the outside, this is too delicious hmmmmmm, ahhhhh, it tastes like potato, but with this frying thing, until I see Akko passing on the ice cream again and it gives me tae eat some, I decide tae try it and the sweet with the salty really gives a nice contrast, then she does the same passing on the barbecue sauce and by the nine lesbian witches this is spectacular, I've only seen this stuff in movies and series.
"Akko, today is wonderful, I have never eaten this in my life, it is spectacular, how could I nae have experienced this, it is delicious food, the kind ye enjoy with friends, I always saw it in movies, series, even in witch tale there was a minigame of assembling sandwiches tae please the passing of Hael the gluttonous monster, thank ye sae much fae my day becoming something sae wonderful, ye are a wonderful witch" I tell her that she even gets a little blushed.
"Ahhh Diana, I just want to see you well, I'm even shocked that you've never experienced these things, you know, so let me be the one to introduce you to a whole world of things, to impress you with a world that you're now a part of" she said, running her hand over my face, making me blush.
"Akko! ah... Ah... A'm speechless, howfur kin ye... Ye deserve th' world, ye deserve everything guid" I say half embarrassed until she gives me an onion ring in my mouth and I never thought I would eat onions like that, it's so different, so tasty too, hmmmmmm.
Eating things like that enchants me, she was spreading barbecue on the sandwich and I wanted some too, this sauce is different and tasty, I dinnae know why, ahhhhh, I just wish this day could last forever, I'm even amazed to have someone like Akko, I dinnae know how tae express myself, but if I could I would say I love this girl, holy Beatrix lesbian, I expected a normal meal and she brought me a feast.
Diana was delighted with her first time at the fast food, but the day was not over yet, with many things that still have to be done, enjoy the shopping and so they were doing, taking several selfies, also trying new clothes, but the night was falling and with it came the time also to return to Luna Nova and so they were leaving London to go to Glastonbury and so back to the witchcraft academy...
"What did you think of this day in London?" She said and I was obviously delighted, flying from one side to the other, happy, I've never had such a wonderful and complete day as I've just had.
"It was the best of all my birthdays, seriously Akko, ye outdid yourself, ye made me the happiest witch in the world, I can't wait until we get tae Luna Nova, do ye want tae spend the night playing with me? My bed has plenty of room" I tell her already wanting tae sleep with someone, how can I be so cheeky like that, I barely know Akko right hahaha.
"It could be... It will be really cool" Now she is the one with the gay panics, it seems that the game has turned, look how cute her embarrassed face is, I played the charm this time hahaha.
They arrive in Luna Nova...
We arrive, in the middle of the night, lucky that we're in time fae curfew and the shouting, I hope nothing goes wrong, we go first tae the red team's room, where Akko gets her pyjamas, since she'll sleep in my room, it even seems that she accepted in a calm, I'm sae excited fae this, I can't wait tae see what happens.
We walk in the corridors, very empty, I think everyone must have already gone inside, even a little strange that Akko warned her friends sae quickly, we go up the stairs until we get to my team's room, when we open it everything was off, I turn on the light and I'm surprised, I see everyone gathering tae see me, all the lassies, they hold a cake and start singing happy birthday.
"What? A surprise party?" I say shocked.
"Diana! Diana! Diana! Diana! Diana! Diana!" They all say my name over and over again and I couldn't help but start crying, I really dinnae expect this, it was all planned.
"Heh, did you like it Diana? We went out so they could get the party ready for you" Akko said, and now it made a lot more sense.
"This is wonderful, I can't believe ye did all this hiding from me, how could I nae notice? I'm the most suspicious of things" I say rubbing the back of my neck.
"Oh it's all Akko's idea, she's the one who filled up the whole month for us to have this surprise party, she really likes you and a lot" O'Neill said and sae I figured.
"You deserve it Diana, it's not possible that in these 16 years you never had such a nice party, with friends and everything, that's why I insisted, it's your day and it has to be special, everyone here is happy on your birthday" Akko said and I smiled.
"I'm not, I hate it, it's a day close to death" O'Neill said and I was laughing after seeing Akko showing her middle finger.
"Don't mess it up, Amanda, or I'll make you swallow the whole cake down your throat"
"I just don't provoke you anymore because you do everything to defend your wife" she said, leaving me all blushed and embarrassed, wait a minute Akko is nae my wife, I wanted tae, but let's take it easy there, heh, fae the nine witches, I can't stand all this affection.
Then I get tae the cake and start tae share each piece giving it tae everyone and I see that there is also food and plenty of it, some sweets, some pies, gee they did all this while me and Akko were leaving, I'm impressed, no one has ever done a party like this, nae more a fancy party like my 15th birthday where I had tae go to a ball and forced tae dance with Andrew... Ew... Good that now it was different, I can feel looser, without pressure and then comes the main question.
"The first piece goes tae her, who had this idea, who made me have the best birthday of my life, made me feel happy with a day that fae me meant everything bad being emphasized, that is, ye Akko the piece is all yers, ye deserve it" I say handing the piece tae her.
"Obviously the first piece would be Akko's, those two really are a hoot, I don't know how they're not girlfriends" O'Neill really likes tae tease.
"Don't tease Amanda, let the moment" Sucy said.
"I hope the cake is good, my mother made it and I brought it here with all the care in the world flying on the broomstick and taking care not to fall apart" said teacher Chariot.
I take the first bite of the cake, it's just the way I like it, with lots of chocolate and inside I could feel the flavors, the chocolate is in the perfect point, sweet, but also harmonious, she really did a great job and I'm feeling a little bit of the biscuit taste, it seems she left some biscuits inside the cake too, only softer, hmmmmm and delicious, I'm loving tae feel the chocolate drops, really Ms. Du Nord did a great job with the cake.
"I love it, yer mother is really a master baker, she made a spectacular cake, tell her later that I thank her very much fae everything" I tell her.
"Ah I'll tell you, the fact that the birthday girl loved it is already a victory, you can eat as much as you want, I only came for the cake, see you tomorrow in the astrology class, remember to rest a lot, tomorrow the class will be normal like any other day, remembering that we are in May, soon the year will end, study hard so that you can pass the year, Luna Nova unfortunately does not tolerate students who fail" said the teacher tae us and with that I feel calm.
She was leaving and we were eating the cake and I was watching Amanda, Constanze, Hannah and Barbara as usual playing on my PS3, these girls really love tae spend their time playing, I dinnae know how they have sae much fixation fae my video game, but it's ok, I think it's cool tae see them having sae much fun, I was getting some pringles that were in a bowl and watching them playing too, they were playing Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 as usual, Akko kind of sticks tae my side, holding my arm.
"Did you like it? Or was it too much?" she said, all cute.
"That it was great is fae sure, but this is nae a bad thing, fae sure, it's something wonderful that I dinnae even expect, the best thing that ever happened here, seriously, I'm sae happy for all of ye, I dinnae expect that the day would be sae nice like this" I tell them all with a smile that went from one side tae the other.
"There was only one thing missing that day anyway" Barbara said.
"If she came tae see you it would make the day unforgettable" Hannah said.
"I dinnae know when it's going tae happen, nae if my mother knows which day I was born, but I prefer nae tae think about it. I've already spent 11 birthdays without my mom Bernadette, spending another one without the other won't ruin the day, on the other hand, I spent the day with the person who is the most special of my life until now"
"Ahhhhhh, Diana doesn't need all this, I only care for your happiness, I just want to see you very happy and up, anyway let's play after them, kick Amanda and Cons ass" She said running away a bit and being silly.
And soon the gun game is over, Hannah and Barbara give us the control and we start the game, ready tae start, let's see if they can beat me, today I am very motivated, I hope I can win, and soon I hit the first one in Constanze by surprise, they chose the map Hijacked, I know every corner of this yacht, there is nowhere tae run.
"Seriously, looking at the screen makes it easy Cavendish" O'Neill says after she gets shot in the back with a crossbow and I just laugh, but get stabbed next.
"Look at her rear" Akko said teasing me and I even forgot that she was also in the middle.
And for a few hours the moments of Diana's birthday party went by, playing on the PS3, chatting away, sometimes with some good jokes, until it was time for curfew and they all left, with the exception of Akko that stayed and the two girls were the victims of more jokes saying that they were a couple and that they would do more things. At
last Akko went to take a bath at the luxurious room, taking advantage of the bathtub and leaving the room, where Diana was the one who took a bath and with the television and the Super Nintendo on, they went to start a new journey at the Witch Tale...
Tae think that I am about to delete my save, after sae long, come on, try tae play again, I delete one of the saves, good that has 3 slots, the save that my mother had, mine when I played the first time and the extra save that I always end up deleting tae start again and it's cool that I played sae much that I unlocked all the extra clothes, but let's go in the classic.
"Wow Diana, you have played this game how many times?" Akko asks.
"My mum told me she had played it at least 146 times before I started tae play it for good, it must have been her favourite game too, since she bought it when it was released, I myself have only played it 37 times, I dinnae usually play it that much, it's always a game tae pick up and replay all the time, this save of my mum's she has everything at 100%, now let's go from the beginning" I say excitedly while Akko stood kind of eating popcorn next to me.
"I'd love to watch you play, I always watch the gameplays and I've already played it 5 times if I'm not wrong, doing the five possible endings, it's great to see that you have each different route" she said.
"I played it fae the first time when I was eight, on the pacifist route, I followed the little manual my mother left me before she died, and then I tried tae play it without help, going it alone on my own and I got on" I say.
The classic scene of the witch Kara falling into the world of monsters, I love how this game has these simple graphics, seems tae Undertale, I imagine that Tobey was inspired by this and Earthbound, like the creator of this game must have been inspired too, I love how we meet the evil aunt who disappeared and comes tae help us, does not seem that she will betray us.
"Whoever created this game must have been a genius, because this is Undertale only on Super Nintendo" Akko said.
"Laura McLaren said that it was a very experimental team work from Saoirse games, she and April called some more, the songs she made, the programming came from April, the art came from a certain B.C. Stewart, who is also Laura's wife, it was a team work, but it's nae even the apex, this game is very unknown, a pity, because it's one of the best ones, the story and everything else B.C Stewart, that inclusive is Laura's wife, it was a work of the three, but it is nae even the apex, this game is very unknown, a pity, because it is one of the best, the history and everything more, it dinnae make success for the simple graphics and the different gameplay, it was not as the typical JRPG's that ye see around, who would think in pacifist route is nae" I tell her.
"What a cute thing, how do you know so much like that?" Akko said in shock.
"Manual of the game has the information of the team, were 3 lassies, usually Saoirse games is only Laura McLaren and April Jordan, were the best in Super Nintendo, the songs then made me speechless" I say delighted.
POV Narrator:
And so the two were playing and talking until it got to about two o'clock in the morning when Cavendish noticed that Kagari had already gone to sleep, so she saves the game, gives a kiss on the forehead of the Japanese and then together they go to sleep in the same bed, even in a loving way, on a birthday that for Diana was the best of her life, feeding more and more the heart of the Scot.
Happy birthday, lesbian witch...
