Happy Birthday to Me [Open]

[Mira Jing]

It was her first birthday that she could remember that she was pretty much alone. From all the birthdays she'd had before, Yuan would sit with her at a small table, with a little strawberry shortcake, specially for the two of them to share. He would always do that for her, since she worked hard all year long, performing different things for crowds of people she didn't know. And every year, she would feel like the happiest girl on earth.

Today was her 12th birthday, and she wasn't feeling all too happy. There were few people here that she knew, and fewer that she actually liked. But all of them weren't so close as to know her birthday. Therefore, she was by herself in a new school on her birthday, with no one to celebrate it.

Mira found it pointless to celebrate on her own, since just wouldn't be very fun. So here she was, sitting on a bench on the outskirts of Central town, alone on her birthday.

-->Phenyl walked to Central Town. But her mind keep thinking, "what should I do?" Drake nor Elyon is not here besides, She bet Drake won't talk to her anymore, Elyon too.

She looked around. A place to sit. And she found a girl who's sad. Maybe she can cheer her up? Talking to someone makes her forget everything.

She walked to her side. She seems pretty upset about something. No friends? No mood? Or no happiness? Who knows? She decide to ask her what happen, since she have nothing to do right now.

"Ohayo! Why are you sad?<--

There was always a day I hate. And even though it happens only once every two months, it's the day I want to forget. And glaring up at me when I woke up today, December twenty-seven, were the words I dreaded to read. BUYING DAY. With a soft grunt I stomped my way around my One Star room, eating breakfast, taking a shower and brushing my teeth, getting dressed. Then I walked ever so slowly to the town, where I made my way to the bank and withdrawed at least a hundred Rabbits. For buying day. And in the messenger bag I brought with me was a small sliding mirror, a couple of borrowed books from the library, and a piece of paper marked with what to buy.

• Tootbrush
  
• Accessories
  
• Hair Clips
  
• Personalized Stamp
  

I always write in the same penmanship. I gazed at the list, wanting to cross everything else out besides the tootbrush, and sighed. I needed a personalized stamp for vice-president work, although the end of my term was around the corner. Maybe it'll be useful for something else... Someday. I looked around the town for the appropriate store to buy the things I had listed. I locked on a store and began to walk to it when something caught my eye. There, sitting on a bench, was a cute girl, one hovering beside her. I stopped short in the middle of the road as I saw the familiar golden hair. Elyon Brown.

Going to the two females. I smiled and skipped to them, grateful for the postponed event of me spending my money. The cute girl looked familiar. And she was. She had introduced herself to me as Mira, and after that I began to intently check the student directories. Her real name was Mira Jing Yan Lin. Again, the wonders of having access to academy files. And everything was there - alice information, sex, name, age, even her birthday - which was December twenty-six or seven. [ooc: Believe Xena, she has access to the files.] So I thought I'd come by and greet her.

I politely listened to Elyon's words before jumping in the would-be conversation. "Do you guys want to eat something?" I offered, although was a bit uncertain about this. Buying day. A hundred rabbits. But who cares, right? I'll just wait for my allowance every week. Also, the two were asking her something, and I felt bad for jumping in to ask her again. She might be confused, since she was just eleven-years old, as how the file had it. But she turned twelve already yesterday if I got my facts straight. Let's have a good time now, kiddies. "Or..." I plopped right beside Mira on the bench. "... would you like to chat?" Oh great, now I suck with words.

[Mira Jing]

It seemed that there were more people outside than she'd originally thought. A girl had walked over to her, asking her why she was sad. She turned her head and stared the girl in the eyes before shaking her head. She didn't want to answer.

Then, as if in a rush, Elyon had run over from who-knows-where, and told her that she and 'Phenyl' would cheer her up. She turned to look at the first girl again, deciding that she must be 'Phenyl', since no one else seemed to be around.

"Well, Mira, when is your birthday?"

At the question, the little girl's eyes narrowed, a sad look present. Of all the questions in the world, she would have to ask this one. She already knew that no one knew about her birthday, all except for the teachers and Yuan.

The only thing she wanted for her birthday was for him to come back, and hopefully take her back with him. Then they would go travelling again, and she would perform around crowds of people she didn't know. Turning to Elyon, she shook her head from side to side, also not wanting to tell.

"Do you guys want to eat something?"

She looked up, hearing the familiar voice. The voice that belonged to...

"Or... would you like to chat?"

...Xena.

The newest arrival to the little group sat next to her. Her mind processed the offer, and she looked down at her feet that were inches above the ground. She wasn't very hungry, but she was rather depressed. Mira did appriciate the fact that there were three kind people that were trying to cheer her up. She nodded.

[Xena]

I've expected Mira to be her shy and inspirational self. She inspires me, anyway. She acts kind of like Takara Yuu, and that makes me happy that somehow she had been 'reincarnated,' although I hardly believe stuff like those. When you die, you either go up the stairs or use the escalator down. Haha. Escalator... Anyway, aside from me being incredibly corny in my thoughts, Mira had only nodded. She did, right? I had to ask myself, looking at the girl. Or did she just bobbed her head to look up at Elyon and the other girl?

I looked at her, waiting for her to say something further. Invite us to a coffee shop, maybe, or buy some Howalon or whatever you call the sugary goodness. Because she didn't choose anything from the question I asked, and that means no event postponing the buying day's horrors. Which was a definite, obvious, no way. I still waited for her to say something, but then decided against it and talked again, almost ignoring her somewhat sad and quiet demeanor.

"Mira... D'you wanna eat?" I inquired again. "Because you look like you need food right now." Food makes everyone happy. Eating is the best thing in the world. I should know. "If you don't feel like eating," I continued, "just take a bite and relax. You'll come to like it." I'm seriously offering her the best deal. I'll even buy her five boxes of Howalon if she has a craving for sugar. "Or I'll just talk about cakes," I said. Cakes. Is it me, or am I making myself hungry?
