Rami POV~~

"Hey, Mira, where do I put up these streamers?" I dug inside the box of light green coloured decoration and attempted to drape it across the second storey of the guildhall. When an uninvited, well not really... Evergreen, kindly snatched it from me.

"Rami I insist this whole celebration is for you, or if you want me to put it in Natsu's words. It's literally your resurrection." She continued to boss around a flustered looking Gray and Juvia as they had come back from apparently spending the night at each other's house. Finally huh?

Elfman joined the crew as he stole glances at Evergreen and lifted like eight boxes full of glasses, cutlery, decoration and other random shit. I wiggled my eyebrows at Ever and her cheeks were tinted pink as she looked away with a huff.

I sighed in defeat as the she-demon herself pushed me out of the guild doors, "I want to help I can't just do nothing!" A small pout appeared on my lips and just as I was pushing past her, trying to get back into the guild again, tiny fingers held onto mine.

My facial features immediately softened as I spotted Asuka. "Hey, little one, what's up?" I asked and lifted her onto my shoulders.

"Mommy and I were going to pick up some cakes from the bakery, I want you to come and pick with me, Ram Ram." I let out a breath and smiled up to look at Asuka.

"I feel like you and Mira set me up kid, finally got me out of the guild." Mira retreated inside the guild to help put up the decorations with the other members.

I couldn't just turn down Asuka's invitation to the bakery so I turned to face Bisca nodding at her as she gestured to her hands, full of more random shit.

"Looks like it's just you and me Kid." Bisca didn't bother with the 'take care of her,' I mean her kid was in the hands of the strongest FairyTail wizard, what could go wrong?

"So what's your favourite kinda cake, Kid?"

I grinned and turned to leave with Asuka, spotting Erza with a glint in her eyes as she pretended not to listen in to our conversation. We were just leaving the path but not before addressing the redhead's deepest desire.

"Hey, Erza! Keep up the good work." I waved at her and smirked as she nodded obediently, I knew she wouldn't just ask for something as delectable as her sweet dessert.

An armour front like hers simply didn't allow it.

Asuka drummed her little fingers on the top of my skull as if agitated at my decision to ignore the redhead's subtle hint.

"Ram Ram, everyone knows Erzy loves going to the bakery, why did you leave her?" She whimpered and I praised her for caring so dearly, however, I had already seen right through the armoured sweet tooth.

"Don't worry kid, I know exactly what to get her." I smiled up at her and tickled her stomach as she giggled in response.

The smell of fresh bread engulfed my nostrils, Dragon Slayer sense of smell was really something.

"We got about a fifteen-minute walk, what do you say we talk about pineapple on pizza?"

"I've never tried pineapple on pizza, I never even tried pineapple. What's a pineapple?" She asked sounding confused, I mean I couldn't blame her, how old was she? Like five?

"What! No way, well kid, today's your lucky day, I'll find a pineapple cupcake just for you."

"Okay!" Asuka wrapped her arms around my head and doze off as we walked at a leisurely pace to the bakery.

Laxus POV~~

After being cooped up in Rami's apartment for 3 weeks, I was running short on funds. The gang insisted they would help me out but I felt like I had been a burden on them during my depression phase of losing a loved one that came back from the dead.
