The crisp summer air filled the local park of Magnolia, the sun burning down, everyone wanted some fresh air - so the park was undoubtedly packed. More so, because of the party that was planned by the members of Fairy Tail for a fellow guildmember. Decorations and arrangements were taking place and the air was alive with chatter and a vibe of excitement. A bit away from them, a young couple lounging on the fresh grass were enjoying a barbecue, the juicy aroma of sausages floating through the park, making everyone hungry, including Subject 00; now renamed as Agni Sinclair by her creator.
Each and everything in this park was a new experience for the raven-haired girl. The breeze on her skin, the sun's rays bouncing around, the vast number of people surrounding her, the smell that made her mouth water for some reason and the sounds of people and nature like a synchronized music; everything was new.
Her keen eyes studied, absorbing every bit of experience and recording into her abnormal memory, so that she'll never forget it again. Her eyes were widening at every small movement and she might have looked like a gawking idiot to many in the park. If they had the time to notice, that is.
Everything was so... exciting! Beyond words!
However, the best thing was holding her creator's hand and walking. Agni felt safe and secure.
Her vision fell on an ancient ice-cream van, that was parked across from the couple. The old, decrepit van seemed to be there since years, paint peeling, bodywork rusting, the ice-cream van was fit for the dump, but as if transfixed, everyone in the local park was swarming to the van, tired parents, bored teenagers-everyone needed some refreshment. The ice-cream van driver was a sweaty, muscular man; looking worn and fed up, his eyes scanning the crowd, hoping for some refuge from the swarm of impatient customers. Beads of sweat dripping from his forehead, handing out melting ice-creams laden with sprinkles. The summer heat was all too much maybe.
Agni felt a longing desire to join the cue and she was about to ask permission from Adessa, but suddenly, "Ao! How is my little lesbian Love puppet doing? Still eating nutritious diet of tacos? I was surprised to see you leave Lamia Scale!" Adessa let out a flurry of questions, as her hand left Agni's and she seemed too content by holding a person with blue hair in her arms. Well, blue hair was all that Agni could figure out for now. However, Agni did have a small pang of jealousy course through her mind for some reason, most probably, triggered due to Adessa's words or actions.
But as Adessa stepped back, Agni noticed the frail-looking girl that Adessa had hugged, and the only thing that fascinated her was the pair of ears that poked out of her hair.
"Ao I would like you to meet my daughter Agni Sinclair. Don't be shy you two!" Adessa introduced her experiment to the other girl, causing a wide grin to spread onto Agni's face. Shy was the wrong word to define Agni and maybe it was just a mistake on Adessa's part on the spur of the moment.
She hastily took a step forward and touched Ao's cat-like ears, "Are these real?!" She squealed in a child-like voice, followed by a giggle. She also happened to notice a black-haired man and a small girl beside him and couldn't help but give a genuine smile to them, while waving lightly, "Hello there~"
