FAIRY TAIL: the next generation

Love and warriors

Sentoki Redfox woke up the next day and frowned. All of his friends had already asked out the girls they liked. He thought of her.

"Tenshi", he said to himself.

He got dressed and walked over to his mirror. He ran a hand through his blue hair. It was identical to his sister and mother's. He left his room and took the stairs two at a time. His sister came down behind him.

"What's up with you today?" Liliana asked.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"You seem down about something", she said with a frown.

"Can I tell you a secret that you can't tell anyone else?" Sentoki asked.

"Of course", Liliana said.

He grabbed his sister's wrist and pulled her outside of their family's cabin. He dragged her down a trail into the woods. Once they were far from everyone's ears he stopped and dropped her arm.

"What is it, Toto?" she asked.

"I thought you weren't gonna call me that", Sentoki said.

"I'll never stop calling you that", she said.

"Ugh", he said.

"Tell me!" Liliana pressed.

"I like Tenshi Fernandez", he said.

"Like as a friend or as a..." she said.

"The second one", he answered.

"Oh", she said.

A big smile broke out on her face.

"What?" he asked.

"My brother likes someone!" she said.

"You like someone too!" Sentoki said.

"No!" Liliana protested.

"Yes, you do. You like Shi Conell. Asuka's little brother", he said.

"How'd you know?" she asked.

"I knew it!" he said.

"How did you find out? I only told one person!" Liliana said.

"I can be invisible when I want, Lili", he said.

"You were in the tree!" she said. "I was at the park with Luna when I told her. Leaves fell on us and the branches rustled. You were in the tree!"

"Maybe I was. Maybe I wasn't", Sentoki said.

"Gah!" she shouted.

"Chill out, sis", Sentoki said.

"Why did you tell me about Tenshi?" Liliana asked.

"I need your advice", he said.

"On what?" she asked.

"All my friends have confessed to their crushes, but I'm nervous Tenshi will reject me. What do I do, Lili?" Sentoki said.

"All your friends took that risk too. I think you should just man up and tell her how you feel", Sentoki said. "You're a great guy. She'll be dumb to not like you back."

"You really think so?" Sentoki asked.

"Definitely", Liliana answered. "Now let's get down to the guild hall so you can fess up to Tenshi."

Liliana said this right as her stomach started rumbling.

"Maybe we should eat first?" Liliana offered.

"Yeah that's a good idea", Sentoki said.

The pair ran back to their house and ate their breakfast. They walked to the guild together. Liliana met up with Sky inside and they went over to the bar. Sentoki watched his sister walk away. She turned around and winked at him. He smiled.

"Let's get this over with", Sentoki said to himself.

He spotted Tenshi sitting alone eating strawberry cake. She was at a table near the stage. No one was by her. He took his chance right away. He rushed over to her and sat in the chair across from her. She looked up and raised an eyebrow.

"Hi", he said.

She nodded at him as she ate her cake.

"I have to tell you something", he said.

She swallowed the cake she was chewing and set down her fork.

"Yes?" she said.

"For a while now, I have... well...I've..." he stuttered.

He stopped and took a deep breath. Tenshi stood up. She walked over to him and kissed him on the lips. They were in the middle of the guild hall! She winked and walked off. Sentoki was frozen in place. Liliana was smiling like an idiot at her brother from the bar.
