Jessie Celestia (A Sting Eucliffe x OC FanFic)

The Encounter

~Sting's P.O.V.~

"Hey Sting-kun? Time to wake up!" giggled my exceed partner who was hovering above my head with his wings.

"Give me 5 more minutes Lector.." I mutter.

"Aw come on, we have to go into Magnolia today to go shopping!" He said. "You didn't forget what today is did you?" I sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"No, I'll never forget what today is.." I said sadly. I got dressed in my regular clothes and left my bedroom. There I saw Rogue and Frosch looking at the same picture I was looking at yesterday. "'It's that time of year again isn't it?'" I mocked. He smiled and punched my arm gently.

"Yea yea, I told you I miss her too right?" he said.

"Well come on, we have to go get her a present for her birthday."

"What present are we getting her this year?"

"We'll think of something on the way, right Lector?"

"Hai!"

"Fro thinks so too!" We all laughed at the good times and headed out to Magnolia. A thought in my head made me grin as we walked. Maybe we'll see Natsu-san and the rest while we're there...

~Jessie's P.O.V.~

"Come on Jessie wake up!" whined Lexi. I grumble.

"Just 5 more minutes.." I beg. She shook me harder.

"C'mon, it's your birthday! I looked around the place while you were gone, and everyone's not here! They're probably waiting for ya at the guild!"

"It may be my birthday," I said as I sat up. "but it's also...that day." Lexi wiped the tears forming on my eyes with her paw.

"I know it's that day, but it's been 6 years! You have got to get over him..." she insisted. "Er, I mean it." I shook my head, smiling.

"We both know it's him."

"Well, can we please just celebrate or not? I mean, you're 19!" I grin and ruffled her fur.

"Yea, I guess we can celebrate." I said. Her eyes lit up and she started to drag me to Fairy Tail, but I quickly stopped her. "Um, I have to change first genius." She stopped and looked at me, finally realizing that I was in my dark purple pajamas.

"Oops, forgot about that," she said. "My bad. You should probably change first." I chuckle and take off my pajamas and put on a purple flowing dress that matched my crystal blue guild mark on my cheek (which I got back yesterday) and put on my golden locket.

"Do you really have to wear that locket?" Lexi huffed.

"It's my only memory of Sabertooth, so hush," I replied

"And that's a good memory you're talking about?" I shot her an angry look, and she quickly backed away. Satisfied, I let Lexi drag me out of Fairy Hills and in to Fairy Tail.

"Happy birthday Jessie!" said the whole guild when we entered. Everyone surrounded me and started giving me gifts, which made me blush. Man, I've forgotten what a real family feels like.

"W-wow, thanks," was all I could lamely say, but I couldn't think of anything else to say. Just then Master cut through the crowd. I couldn't help but smirk as I remember how he came in to the bar drunk, but if he's embarrassed about it, he's not showing it.

"Happy birthday Jessie," he said, holding out a gift. I held back a laugh as I had to crouch down to take his gift. "Go on, open it." I examined the present. I was wrapped in white wrapping paper, and the ribbon glowed a shiny gold. I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness as I realized that this was oddly wrapped just like how....he did. I slowly untie the ribbon and tear the wrapping paper. I silently gasp as I open the box. It was a picture of the whole guild 8 years ago. Everyone was smiling, even Laxus. Tears started to flow down my face, which made everyone show faces of worry. "Is something wrong?" asked the Master. I slowly shook my head.
