I make way to the SweetWoods-café for our girls' night out, as I walk towards the café I spot a child in ragged clothes with a bruised knee. 

"Sweet little child, are you hurt? Here let this woman help you" and I infuse some healing mana to the tip of my finger and rub it on his little knee. 

"Thank you miss, but there was no need, it didn't hurt but thanks anyways!" the sweet little child responded with a smile. "Please stay safe otherwise your mother might get worried," I said worrying about him. 

"Thank you kind lady, but there is no need to be concerned about me" the child responded almost sternly but with a calm smile on his tanned skin. 

"Alright, but please stay safe," I say to try to reach his little heart.

"There is no need to be concerned about me!" he finally says sternly before running away with small tears in his eyes. I try to follow the child to look for his blond hair with a silver black northern star on his left shoulder in the crowd, but I lost him. There is no need to concern more about that child, but I hope he will stay safe and sound. I think to myself as I make my way towards the café.

I was the last one to arrive at the café, the building had big white walls, supported by dark logs surrounded by a calming impression. And from the outside, you can see a glistering chandelier with runes to enhance the glow in a blue tint.

I waved towards the girls, Amber, with light blue hair sitting at the left side. Her long hair covering down on her shoulders, with a plated armor covering her chest and stomach, and Diane.

With brown wavy hair only down to her shoulders, being tall as a child with a bit spiky ears. Immature as one as well together with a steel chest plate, covering her whole front and back, sitting beside her is Lilith.

A bit taller than Diane but still quite short, with long black hair tied up in a ponytail with dark leather armor and last at the right side Reinna. Blond with long luscious hair with green white baggy clothes sitting beside a big brown table for 6 people in the corner.

"Hi sorry I am late! I ran into an unexpected situation, there was this child who was hurt and I helped him. But sadly he ran away with tears in his eyes. I tried to follow him to see if he was okay but I lost him in the crowd." I say while gasping for air after running.

"It's alright -" Reinna responds.

"You had a secret to tell us, what is it?" Diane cut in with a carefree smirk.

"Yes, we all want to know!" Amber butted in, 

"Well, actually -" everyone is looming closer as I started my sentence, even Lilith.  "I am pregnant!" I announced with a joyful bright smile. Everyone's mouths were agape after announcing my pregnancy to my best friends. 

"What, when!?" Everyone shouted united like a choir.

"Today actually, after feeling nauseous and a bit feverish I had to seek medical attention from Elder Claire, because Ethan wanted me, and I found out that I am in fact pregnant!" I say with an eccentric feeling. 

Everyone was happy for me and we laughed while talking about our childhoods. 

"After accidentally leaving my father's territory I lost my way through the woods, until I started to cry, making everyone in the woods hear me. It was so embarrassing." Diane said with her hands covering her face.

"Don't let your kid do stupid stuff which it is going to regret. It's an agonizing feeling once you're older." Diane included while still covering her face. 

"Well, I for one had to care for flowers all day long, it was sooo boring. So a piece of advice from me, don't let your kid get too bored, always have it occupied with something they like to do. You wouldn't want your kid when it grows up that it is gonna say "my childhood was quite boring" to all of its friends." Reinna bombarded me with an extended index finger. 

"I got it, I got it," I say with an awkward smile.

"So what are you gonna name it?" Amber said while holding a wine glass with her hand.

"I haven't decided, and Ethan doesn't even know. I just wish to know how I am gonna break it for him." I chuckle as I think about how to break it to him, scare him? Or in a romantic way? I don't know, I just wish to see a funny face while he embraces me with a big papa hug. 

"So how, are you gonna break it? Maybe we could do something nice to help you-”

“Or just break it easy for him. Like my father did to me, that I was a mistake." Lilith butted in. Everyone started to laugh while Lilith started to look like an empty shell.

"Don't be too hard on yourself shorty," Diane said, breaking the laughing cycle. "Says the shortest one here!" Lilith retorted. 

"I have an excuse, I am a half Dwarf, remember?" she asked while pointing to her ears. 

"Enough quarreling, I for one am an Elf," Reinna exclaimed with a mockingly sneer. 

"Girls, remember? No racial discrimination towards one another, that was the first rule when we formed our party." Amber said with an annoyed face, she hates discrimination, unjust behavior towards someone is a thing she despises.

"Besides, we all are equally strong-" Amber continued but was cut short.

"Actually..." Diane butted in, "I have actually broken through to the dark orange stage." Diane announced with a prideful grin, no she's mocking us a bit.

"I too have actually broken through into the orange stages," Reinna said with a smirk. "Wait, let me recount everything, so you and Diane are in the dark orange stage, while I and Andrew are in the dark red stages while Amber, Fredrick, Lilith, and Ethan are in the light red stage."

"Actually, Fredrick has also created a breakthrough, he's in the dark orange stage too," Diane said nonchalantly. "So all three, Reinna, Diane and Fredrick are in the orange stages while everyone else is in the red stages. That's so cool! Our party might become a gold-rated party soon!" I say out loud, almost shouting. "Indeed, we might become a gold-rated party, that might be cool." Lilith intruded with no emotions in her voice. 

As we continue talking about the future and maybe with our new member time passes like the wind. The time was already 1 o’clock. As we are heading out, we see Andrew, Fredrick, and what appears to be my future husband, dead drunk on Fredrick's back as they are leaving from the Drunkard-Man.

"I TOLD YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DRANK THAT MUCH!" I hear from a long distance by Andrew. "HeY, dOn't sHouT aT mE, nEXt tIme I will dEfeat you!" I hear from my idiotic fiance with a pissed drunk face.

As he spots us he starts waving towards us, "hEy!" making Fredrick's grip unstable and makes Fredrick accidentally drop Mr. Drunk, headfirst into the stone pavement. 

"What am I going to do with you" I mumble to myself as I start approaching them, leaving the girls in the dust.

"Fredrick, would you like to drag him home?" I ask the gentle giant.

"Sure thing," Fredrick responds without sounding annoyed. In the meantime without skipping a beat starts dragging the laying man on the ground by the neck.

"Thanks, and I am sorry for my fiance once again," I say with an irritated tone. 

"There is no need to be apologetic, we have done this, hundreds of times, even before we formed our party, this is just a daily routine, no a weekly routine." correcting himself. 

"Still, thanks, for helping me." while looking at the man kissing the air. As we start to walk back to our house, at the outskirts of the village, I hear from a long distance "Congratulations!" from Amber, Diane, Lilith, and Reinna saying it synchronized.

I mouth out a "thank you" towards the girls and see Andrew looking at the girls and mouthed “Did I miss something?” while all the girls started to giggle, we started heading to our house with Fredrick dragging the air-kissing Ethan on the ground.
