This brought memories. Poor Romani.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Y/n: "I loved yesterday"

Merlin: "You were on a date?"

Y/n: "Umu. If I may say, I was with the most gorgeous girl in the world"

Merlin: "I am proud of you Y/n"

Shirou: "Yo"

Shirou: "I heard you wanted to learn some archery?"

Y/n: "Of course, thanks father"

Merlin: "Why must you forsake me"

He says grabbing his chest.

Y/n: "You act more like a sibling if anything"

Merlin: "Forget it, what made you want to learn archery?"

Y/n: "I've mastered all forms of magic. I'd like to learn some sort of physical fighting styles"

Merlin: "Saber and I showed you how to fight with Excalibur?!"

Y/n: "But archery is so Coooool!!"

Merlin: "*sigh* Well, you ARE free to learn whatever you'd like to pick up. Just stay safe kid"

Y/n: "I want to learn sage arts too-"

Merlin: "That's not even part of the- Whatever"

Y/n: "Then we are off to our archery classes, bye Merlin"

Merlin: "Jeez, not even my own seed thinks of me as a father.. at least he has someone to raise him well in my stead"

Saber: "Are you bothered by it?"

Merlin turns around to see Saber behind him.

Merlin: "Saber? No, not really. Truth is I'm not really a capable father. If his mother was still here... I'm sure she would of taken care of him alot better than I could ever have"

Saber: "We are doing are best in taking care of him as well"

Merlin: "It's good to know that he has people he can come to when he needs it. He's so full of life, so positive. He has someone as a father figure in Shirou and a maternal figure in you. He has everything a child may need"

Saber: "You shouldn't put yourself down either"

Merlin: "I haven't done much to be honest. Other than teaching him magic, I haven't done something worthy enough as to be considered something a father would do"

Saber: "He did get raised by you. When he was but a toddler, I remembered that he would always run to you when he had nightmares"

Merlin: "You're right on that. The poor little thing, running up to me with tears on his face saying "Dada, Dada!! There's a monster in my dreams?!" I would have to cast an illusion of flowers and butterflies to relax him. Most times, he would end up sleeping in my arms and I would keep an eye on him until I knocked out. Those were the good days"

Saber: "Don't forget about the times he felt alone for being an only child"

Merlin: "Making all sorts of "friends" with all sorts of personalities. I'm rather proud of that"

Saber: "And when he needed a mother? When neither I or shirou could do a thing to get through to him?"

Merlin: "I'd make an illusion of his mother.. an almost perfect illusion that pretty much resurrected his mother through flowers.."

Saber: "Don't sell yourself short Oh Magus of Flowers. You've done plenty to make that boy happy"

Saber left to go watch the two men she adored. She would scold Shirou if he was to rough on the young man and vise versa if Y/n wasn't paying attention.

Merlin: "I'm happy he got a happy ending.. I wonder if I made you proud my love?"

A breeze blows some roses past his face as he grabs one. He smiles and looks up before releasing the rose.

Merlin: "Sleep well, love"

He walks back into his tower to watch over the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sona: "Hurry up!!"

Sona was rushing through the hallways with a box full of decorations.

Tsubaki: "Sona, is this really necessary?!"

Sona: "Absolutely!!"

Y/n: "Me? Oh, I've never celebrated a birthday other than receive a cake from my uncle"

Sona: "Really?"

Y/n: "Yea. I've never really had friends or anyone to spend it with. I don't know, sometimes I wish to know what that feeling is like when you have people you care about be beside you. Reminds me, my birthday's tomorrow"

Sona: "I'll make sure to give him the best birthday he's ever had. Come on Tsubaki?! Move it!!!"

Tsubaki: "I'm going!!"

The rest of her peerage were already inside of the council room working on setting up the decorations they had previously brought.

Sanji: "Isn't this going a little overboard?"

Sona: "Do you wish to get 1 thousand spanks?"

Sanji: "*gulp*"

Sona: "Thought so. Let's keep going people-"

Rias: "Sona?"

Sona: "Rias?! How could I help you"

She walked over to her friend after setting down the supplies.

Rias: "Are you celebrating something?"

Sona: "Uh-Well.. it's not for me.."

Rias: "Is your sister coming?"

Sona: "No. I'm just celebrating a birthday"

Rias: "But it isn't your birthday yet-"

Sona: "It's for Y/n"

Rias: "For Y/n?

Sona: "Yes. He told me his story on how he's never had friends. How he's never really celebrated his birthday and how jealous he was of us for being able to spend it with our loved ones. It made me feel pity for him I guess"

Rias: "How about I help you out then?"

Sona: "What?!"

Rias: "I'll help you set everything up. I'll ask my peerage too"

Sona: "B-But why?"

Rias: "He wanted friends right? Ill help him make a couple more if we aren't already. Come on, let's help Sona out with her boyfriend's birthday party~"

Sona: "He is not my boyfriend?!"

Rias: "Issei. You and Kiba go distract him while we set up. I'll have Akeno come for you three when we are done"

Issei: "You got it Rias!!"

Kiba: "It'll be my pleasure to help"

They both stay outside to guard the door for any signs of the target.

Rias: "Alright, that should do it. Let's get started then"

Sona: "Rias"

Rias: "What is it?"

Sona: ".. Thank you. Thank you very much for your help"

She says with a sincere smile.

Rias: "No problem. That's what best friends are for"

Rias: "Plus you are completely head over heels for him and it's painfully obvious"

Sona: "Right!! Everyone, let's get this as perfect as possible!! No mess ups today!!"

Everyone: "Yes ma'am!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back in Avalon

Y/n: "Phew!! I'm exhausted"

Shirou: "You're getting better. I'm sure you'll be just as good with it as you are with Excalibur"

Y/n: "Speaking of which, Saber, are you sure you don't want it?"

Saber: "Keep it. Your father once gave it to me and I have no bestowed it upon you"

Shirou: "You are inheriting something special. Something the great king of Britain and the greatest magus wielded"

Y/n: "Did you ever wield it?"

Shirou: "No but I'm almost positive that stupid Archer once used it. I have traced Caliburn though"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Somewhere

??: "Hm?"

??: "ARCHER?!"

Archer: "Huh?! Rin?!"

Rin: "Aren't you listening to me? I'm telling you to follow me into that store"

Archer: "S-Sorry. I thought I heard someone mentioning me? Guess I was just imagining it. What store were you talking about?"

Rin: "That one"

Archer: "Tha- What?!"

It was a women's store with all sorts bikinis and underwear.

Archer: "There's no way I'm going in there?!"

Rin: "Please?.. Shirou"

He looks at her and gives into the puppy eyes.

Archer: "*sigh* Fine. I wish I was still able to go into my spirit form. You are the boss so I'll have to follow your orders"

Rin: "Good.. let me help you with something"

Archer: "Huh?! Wai- Rin.. Tohsaka?!"

Rin: "There we go. I'm a little tired of the edgy you. How about trying something new or rather.. something old"

Rin: "See? You'll blend in now!!.. Despite having all that armor on you"

Archer: "Like my old self huh? *chuckles* I guess I needed a change. I wonder how that fool is doing now?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at Avalon

Shirou: "Achoo!!"

Y/n: "You okay?"

Shirou: "Yea. Probably someone talking about me. Anyways, back to what I was saying"

He traces it the legendary sword and hands it to Saber.

Shirou: "I'm not able to properly use it unless Saber here is helping me with it"

Y/n: "Why?"

Shirou: "It was a lost sword. I was only able to use it because of Saber's memories"

Y/n: "Wow. Oh shoot!! I'm going to be late!!"

Shirou: "What for?"

Y/n: "I'm heading over to Sona"

Saber: "What for?"

Y/n: "No reason. Just wanted to see her that's all"

Saber: "Oh, well have a good happy birthday Y/n"

Shirou: "Yea, enjoy it but not too much where you cause people problems"

Y/n: "Got it!!"

He jumps out of Avalon as Saber looks over to the tower.

Saber: "Hey Shirou, do me a favor"

Shirou: "Of course. What is it?"

Saber: "Make a cake would you?"

Shirou: "For what?"

Saber: "For Y/n"

Shirou: "Didn't we already give him one this morning?"

Saber: "Trust me"

She looks eyes with Merlin who was smiling.

Shirou: "Well.. okay. I'll off then"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At Kuoh Academy

Y/n: "And we touchdown. I arrive to see my Sona"

I skip through the entrance and through the hallways humming a tune.

Y/n: "Hmm Hm Hmm. Hm?"

I see two familiar faces at her entrance.

Y/n: "Hello there friends. What are you all waiting for?"

Kiba: "Hello Y/n. I'm afraid you can't come in"

Y/n: "Oh, why is that?"

Issei: "Sona is pretty busy at the moment so we aren't allowed inside"

Y/n: "Really? Mind if I wait with you all here?"

Kiba: "Of course"

I sit besides them as we wait.

Y/n: "Anything new with the blondie lady friend of yours Issei?"

Issei: "What?! How did you know about that?!"

Kiba: "Blond?"

Issei: "It's a friend I made"

Y/n: "She's pretty cute"

Issei: "Eh, you aren't wrong"

He says with a blush.

Y/n: "What's her name?"

Issei: "Asia. She's an angel"

Y/n: "I could imagine. She has this.. friendly aura from what I could sense"

Issei: "Did you see us?"

Y/n: "Yep"

Issei: "When?"

Y/n: "I'll keep that a secret"

Issei: "Hey?!"

Y/n: "What about you Kiba?"

Kiba: "Me?"

Y/n: "How are things with Tsubaki?"

I say nudging him with my elbow.

Kiba: "I have no idea what you are talking about"

He says with a little sweat dripping from his forehead.

Y/n: "I see that gaze you give her everytime you all meet up. So tell me, want me to hook it up~?"

Kiba: "Y/n-"

The door opens up slightly as Rias peeks out.

Rias: "We're don- Oh Y/n, you're?.. Female again?"

I look down to see I had boobs again.

Y/n: "Hm? It appears so?"

Issei: "You didn't do that?"

Y/n: "Nope. I guess I'll be a girl for aslong as this spell lasts. So, did you need me Rias?"

Rias: "Yes, may you come in?"

Y/n: "Of course"

I walk in followed by Issei and Kiba. I saw that the lights were off and was concerned for a bit.

Y/n: "Why are-"

Everyone: "SURPRISE!!"

The lights turn on and everyone jumps out yelling. I look and see banners with my name on it.

Y/n: "What's this for?"

Sona: "It's your birthday so I thought you deserved a surprise party since you've never had one.. why are you a woman?"

Rias: "How thoughtful of you Sona"

She blushed and looked away.

Sona: "Anyways, I hope you enjoy it. Everyone put a lot of effort into helping this come true-"

Sona: "What-?!"

Akeno put a hand on her shoulder as she understood what happened. It took her a second but Sona smiled. She went over and gave Y/n a hug while everyone stood and laughed a little.

Y/n: "I've never had something like this before. Why would you-"

Sona: "Because we're friends. Friends do these type of things for each other. Happy birthday... I'm really happy you were born"

She whispers the last part into my ear.

Y/n: "Thank you... Thank you so much"

I hug her back before breaking up our hugfest. Everything went back to normal except for the fact that I was still in the appearance of a woman.

Sona: "Hey Tsubaki, time to take it out"

Tsubaki: "Take what out?"

Sona: "The cake"

Tsubaki: "What cake?"

Sona: "The cake, the one we... we never bought it did we?"

They both look at each other wide eyed until a knock at the window scares them.

Sona: "Yes, what are you doin-"

Shirou: "Here's your cake. Enjoy!!"

Sona: "What?! Wait, how-"

Shirou: "Tell Y/n I said goodbye and that he remember what I said about partying to hard"

He waves them off as he takes off.

Sona: "Wha.."

Tsubaki: "Let's just accept the fact that we have a cake. He appears to know Y/n"

Sona: "Right... sure"

They head in and continue the party as a happy man watches them from his tower with a big smile.

Merlin: "Thank you so much all of you. Thank you for being such beautiful and gentle souls in taking care of my son. Thank you for being his friends"
