"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"
The rafters of the Fairy Tail guildhall shook with the thunderous roar from the throats of its members, all collected and packed together for the special occasion. Even the normally stoic and composed residents, like the famed Erza Scarlet and diminutive Guild Master Makarov, found themselves swept up and bellowing at the top of their lungs for one of their own. The shouting quickly devolved from intelligibility to wordless cheers and whooping. And in the center, covering her ears but still grinning with delight before an enormous cake with eighteen candles, stood the blue-haired Sky Dragon Slayer Wendy Marvell.
"Thank you all so much!" She called once the noise subsided somewhat. No matter the occasion, the members of Fairy Tail were boisterous by nature, and full quiet hardly ever reigned so long as at least two stood beneath her roof.
She'd grown quite a bit over the years. Everyone would remember the short, flat-chested girl that had nervously asked to join the guild, but now she was of a height with most of the other women. She was still slender, more rounded in the hips, with curves leading up to her chest. That area had finally filled in, much to Wendy's relief, although she still wistfully compared her smallish breasts to everyone else's from time to time.
"Think nothing of it," Mirajane replied beside her. Her cheerful smile never left her face, but the white-haired Take Over Mage had to cup hands and practically shout to be heard even at that short distance. "It isn't like you're gonna turn eighteen more than once!"
In short order, the cake was cut and served, and the guildhall descended into its usual brand of chaos: heated words between Natsu and Grey turned into a full-scale battle, swiftly and brutally ended by Erza. Elfman began to declare in his booming voice how manly the cake was, flexing massive arms and posing ridiculously. And Cana tossed back three casks in rapid succession, easily drinking Macao and Wakaba quite literally under the table.
After six years, none of it fazed Wendy in the least. In fact, she would have found it odd not to see things like that from the people she'd come to call her family. Grandeeney may have raised her, but Fairy Tail had fully adopted her.
She wove easily through the crowd, dodging away as Natsu flared to life once more, this time challenging Erza herself. Everyone called to her, wishing her well on her birthday and telling her how grown up she looked. She politely returned their greetings, thanking them for their kind words, but ultimately she moved on. There was really only one person she wanted to talk to today, only one person she wanted to wish her a happy birthday. But where…?
"There's the – hic! – birthday girl!"
Wendy staggered as a very drunken Cana half fell into her, throwing an arm around her shoulder. Her ample breasts pressed against her arm as she staggered, her face flushed, and she pulled the smaller girl to a halt. Wendy had no doubts that she was the only thing holding her off of the floor at the moment.
"Cana, maybe you should lie down somewhere." Even after nearly a decade in the guild, care was second nature to her. She could as soon lift off the ground and fly like an actual dragon than stop, even after seeing Cana's legendary alcohol tolerance firsthand on numerous occasions.
"Nah, I'm jus' gettin' warmed up!" the brunette boasted. She let out a raucous whoop and taking a long pull from her mug. Wendy shook her head, but she couldn't help an indulgent smile. Cana, like everyone else in the guild, wouldn't change for the world.
"So tell me, Wendy," Cana slurred, leaning in close and dropping her voice conspiratorially. "Now that yer eighteen an' legal an' shit, got yer eyes on any hot, young studs?"
Wendy stiffend with shock and tried to back away, feeling her cheeks heating, but Cana held her tight. "N-no, nothing like th-that! I'm not – "
Cana cut her off with another loud laugh. "Aw, c'mon, Wendy! Ya gotta treat yerself! 'Course, I was 'treating myself' long before my eighteenth," she gave a sly, knowing wink. "But ya gotta celebrate with something really special today! Hell, I can't even remember my eighteenth birthday. That's how I know it was great!"
Wendy felt like her entire face was going crimson. She'd always heard talks about Cana's…"easy-going nature," but that wasn't something to talk, let alone boast about in a public, crowded room. Really, anyone could overhear and get the wrong idea!
"R-really, Cana, it isn't like that." Wendy managed to escape the Card Mage and retreated several steps, holding up her hands and shaking her head.
"Aw, c'mon," Cana persisted, advancing on the smaller woman. "Ya gotta have yer eyes on someone at least. Jus' tell me, maybe I can help ya trip 'em into bed!"
On the point of arguing, motion at the corner of Wendy's eye caught her attention. The crowd parted briefly, enough for Wendy to see across the hall, and there she was.
Lisanna Strauss stood talking with her older sister and several other members at the bar. She laughed, and even across the room and over the cacophony of voices, those musical notes found her and sent a tingle up her spine. They locked eyes, Lisanna smiled and waved, and her heart skipped a beat.
"Well, maybe there is someone…"
