A Birthday Party for Molly

[Guu]

Guu told him tales of her time in the Omniverse, considering zaniness tended to follow her everywhere she went, she always had a crazy story to tell that left the red-headed mage in stitches. She felt warm inside, something she hadn't felt in a long time. While she would always consider Desco her bestie, and she would consider the Ambrosians as her family, it was unexpected she would even need the attention of this sort. Just someone to relate to, someone to talk to about her problems and her life. It wasn't something she was used to having, it wasn't something she was used to needing.

The funny thing, online she would often see Gildarts on "Hottest Guys in the Omniverse" lists. She always figured the girls who voted for him were teenagers that wanted to "fix" the dangerous criminal with their love, and the more she transversed the dataverse, the more this felt like the truth. But after connecting with him she started to notice his studded cheek, his muscle bound bod, his debinair look. He wasn't just the dork she wrote him off as, he was a dork that had some charisma to him. She admittedly went into this date for Molly, but she was beginning to see the appeal.

After paying for their meal, Gildarts offered to walk her back to the palace. They continued their chat on the way there.

"...He he had so much insense burning, it filled the entire quartyard with smoke! I swear, that's not an exaggeration. I bet that place is still smothered!"

The pair shared a laugh for Guu's anecdote.

"How much incense would you need to fill up an outdoors location like that?"

"I don't know! I may never know!"

The two laughed. As their chuckles slowed, they come across the front gates of the palace. Guu stopped in her tracks and turned to face the mage.

"Well, I'm glad we did this. I think I needed this. Thank you for showing me a good time, it's been a blast!" She said, her smile a mile wide.

"It was no problem, you're very good company!" He said back cheerfully.

"I've got a few things I need to do this evening, so I fear this is where we must part. Molly will be opening her presents soon, so you should head over there."

"You're not going to be there?" Asked Gildarts.

"I already gave her my gift, silly!" She said, poking his nose with the tip of her finger. "And I already sensed through the presents. I already know what they all are."

"Well, if you insist. I bid you good night, Guu." He said politely with a bow

She chuckled at this unusually polite posture.

"We should do this again sometime." She said with a smile.

"That we should!" Said gil with a dorky little smile as he rubbed the back of his head.

Suddenly, Guu moved in and gave him a little peck on the cheek much to his surprise. She took a few steps towards the palace and turned around, giving him one last smile.

"See ya later, Gildarts!"
