Growing up, Fairy Tail was your home. And to this day it remains so to you and your fraternal twin, Cana Alberona. It gave you both a chance to live properly. Loved by guildmates who were all equal to that of brother and sister, even father and mother at times. But after having the chance to properly meet with your legendary father, Gildarts Clive, a long hole in your and Cana's heart was fixed.

The guild's courtyard is quiet, a rare moment of calm after the chaos against the Alvarez Empire. The sun casts a warm glow over Magnolia, and the gentle breeze carries the faint scent of the nearby forests. You and Cana are in the courtyard, arranging a small table and chairs for a small family gathering with Gildarts.

— How funny. And... kinda sad too. Cana begun, her usual carefree demeanor tinged with a hint of anticipation.

— This will be the first time we have something like this. All together.

Cana stopped for a moment, panting and wiping beads of sweat from her brows underneath her long, brown hair, despite it being tied into a long ponytail behind her. Growing up in Fairy Tail, you and Cana shared countless adventures, but there was always a space left by your father's frequent absences. Now, the thought of all three of you sitting together feels almost surreal.

— I hope he'll bring some of those crazy stories about mom. Or maybe his own.

The preparations continue in a comfortable silence, each of you lost in your thoughts. Cana's hands move skillfully, arranging the chairs just so, her mind clearly elsewhere. Though, she breaks the silence with a laugh that feels more like an exhale of relief.

— I hope he brings some of those crazy stories he's famous for. It's about time we heard them straight from the source, don't you think?" She grins, and for a moment, the tension eases.
