[One-Shot!] The Dream Man
" One night, years ago, when I was only a little girl about the age of, I'd say six, I dreamt that I was floating in the sky. It was so heaven like. Literally clouds were everywhere and the stars shined so bright. It was like paradise.
As I was exploring this paradise, everything seem to fall. I fell onto my bottom, terrified. Then suddenly, a kid my age all dressed in white appeared before me. His hair was blonde and his hairdo was like he tried to do a combover, but failed. His eyes was a pierce blue and had a scar right on his right eyebrow. He also had two crystal earnings.
He rose his top hat and bowed in front of me, his tailcoat moving in the process. He told me his name was Sting Eucliffe and showed me how to make paper stars.
He told me that if I make 1,000 stars... My greatest wish would be granted. He then handed me a jar with only that one star he made. "Good Luck, Dragneel." He said before I jointed up awake. I woke up with that same jar he gave me and that blue star was in there. I realized I didn't wanted to go back to sleep so I got up and walked to my desk and made paper stars.
I didn't really believe in wishes... But I liked making paper stars. I decided to make one every time I felt sad or lonely or lost...
It hit me terribly when my cat, Luna, past away. I hugged my cat one last time. Then I started to make paper stars and it helped. I don't know why it helped... But it did.
On class field trips, I was always alone. My mom, Grandeeny, made me a sandwich, but I chose not to eat it. Instead, I made paper stars.
And when I was in class, I made paper stars. Why? The teacher payed no attention to me.
Then as I grew, I realized I had no friends. I then tried to reach out to my brother, Natsu, but he didn't notice me. I attempted to try to talk to him and his friends, but he ignored me. So, I went back to make paper stars.
Later, I looked through my contact list on my phone. Empty. Add new contacts. I sighed to my self and threw my phone across the room and luckily it landed on my bed where my jars of paper stars were. And so I made more.
On my 16th birthday, I went to the library to check out a book and when I came home everything was dark. No one was there to celebrate with me. I went to my room and noticed a note and cupcake on my desk. Happy 16th birthday, sweetie! Working late, home at 11. Love, mommy Grandeeny and daddy Igneel.
I remembered that my sister, Wendy, went to a sleepover at her best friends house, Sherria, and Natsu went to his best friends birthday party, and it seems that hers is more important than mine.
I then wrapped myself around a blanket, turned my computer on and put an anime called Sailor Moon, and made paper stars.
Then one night... I finally made 1,000 Paper Stars... I went outside, on my balcony, and held out the jar that had paper stars, believing that the kid in white will come back to me, but a few moments later, nothing happened. I then started to cry.
I thought that all these years I did the paper stars for nothing, but they helped. I hugged the jar closer to me as my tears traced down on my face.
As I was crying, I opened my eyes to see a star that was shining too bright. The star then flew to my jar and there he was. Sting Eucliffe. I looked into my jar to see all the blue paper stars gone. The blue paper stars were floating around him.
I then felt warm on my cheeks. "You know, crying doesn't suit you for a pretty girl like you." He then wiped my tears away with his thumbs that were covered with white gloves.
"Hello! It's nice to see you again, (Y/N) Dragneel, and I'm sure you remembered, I'm Sting Eucliffe." Sting smiled, moving his top hat. "I'm here to grant your wish." I was dumb-folded and realized he had a blue paper star in his hand. My wish...
"Come with me, and you can leave behind the life that makes you so unhappy." Sting said, and made a big smile. "You wish for a life where you are no longer alone, or sad... Or invisible. Is that not so?" I immediately remembered all the events. Where I tried to talk to my brother, when I was alone, and when I felt lonely.
I then smiled to myself and invited Sting inside my room. At first, he was confused, but he then walked in. He took off his top hat and placed it on my desk where I made all of the paper stars, well, some. I then lead him to my couch where we started to talk.
I didn't want to run away from my problems... And I don't need a white knight to rescue me... All I ever wished for was a friend."
