Chapter one / a mission
Tetsu Redfox_
I groan as the train comes to another stop, meaning that I'm going to have to wait longer to get home. Great. Now, you're probably thinking that I want to get home to see my family and all that, but you're wrong. Well, a little wrong anyways. I don't
want to see my family and all, but I want to get off of this train as fast as I can due to the stupid motion sickness I get from being a dragon slayer. It's cool and all, but there are some things that just take the complete piss with side affects.
Anyways, I'm Tetsu Redfox, the forts and only son of the Redfox's. I'm an Iron Dragon skater and am now currently coming home from a mission I had to do myself because everyone else I usually go with is either really busy or have decided to ditch me to
do something else. Fun.
"Hey boy, you're going to have to get off whilst you wait! This train needs cleaning you know!" I hear the elderly man shoutfrom the front of the cart. Trust the old man to be so grouchy, isn't stuff like this meant to be a starting job anyways,
not a full time career.
"Sure thing" I mutter to him, even though u know he won't be able to hear me anyways. I lift myself up from the floor where I've been dying for the past 2 hours, and grab my bag before heading out.
I currently in a small stop 1 hour away from Magnolia; where I live. It's a nice village, though I don't seem to recall the name. Oh well, it's not like I'm staying for long. I look up at the board to see that the train with leave in about 20 minutes,
which gives me a good time to try and get a hold of the tabs that stop me from being sick so much on a train. They're kinda like the spell auntie Wendy does in Natsu and Dad when they get sick.
I look over at some of the shops near here to see one that lookspromising. After all, it has got a nice collection of those tabs sitting in the front window so I guess thisshop will do. Walking over, I rakeinto my pockets to see if I've
got some money change. 20 jewels. Lets just ope that that's enough for these.
Walking into the shop I take a scan of my surly songs. A nice little shop all in all, bright colours like red and blue all over the place, a stack of stuff pushed up against the wall and a till sat a few metres away, the rest of it is probably for the
customers.
"I'll take some of these" I say as nice as I can to the women sat at the other side of the bar. I've already grabbed a box when I walked in, so all I have to do now is pay for it.
She looks at the box, blows a small bubble with her pink chewing gum and looks at me. "30 Jewels".
You have got to be kidding!
I let out a sheepish smile and place the 20 on the side, thinking that she won't notice. But, she does. I guess that her appearance really is a thro off as to how brainy this girl is. The purple and black hair, leather and all. She looks like mom used
to say dad did; besides thehair of course.
"Can you just give me gb for 20? Please?"
She shakes her head. "Sorry, but if I do the boss with have a field day. No money, can't give them to ya".
I groan and run a hand through my blue hair. Yes, blue. I bet you thought I had black like my dad, but I have the light blue hair like mom. But, sadly thestyle fro dad meaning it's spiking all over the place. It's not long though, only shoulder
length.
I get ready to put the box back when a 10 note is placed on top of the 20. "It's okay, here, I'll pay the 10".
I turn around to see a girl smiling at the women in front. She has brown hair cascadingall the way down her back, up to her knees, it's all curly as well which makes it look nicer. She had deep brown eyes and a small figure. Only about up to the
space between my elbow andshoulder, she gives me a smile.
I shake my head and take the 10 from the pile, ready to give it back to her. "I couldn't, I'll be fine".
She lets out a small giggle, "judgingfrom you nearly picking your guts out the way hers, I beg to differ".
Giving her a grin, I nod and hand the women the 30jewels in exchange for the tabs. She takes the money and then looks over at the girl who's got some crisp (chips for Americans) tucked under her arm. I didn't even notice. She pays for them and we
both walk out the shop together.
"Thanks" I say turning to her.
She shakes her head, "no big deal. Plus, I thought I could accompanyyou the rest of the way, you're heading to Magnolia as well right?"
A sharp nod in return, we go over to the train station and get ready to get on since the times nearly up. Only then to I realise I don't even know her name. I go to ask her for it when she speaks up, almost like she'd read my mind.
"I'm Aki Maskudiado by the way, but you can just call me Aki. You?"
"Tetsu Redfox, but Tetsu's just fine" I tell her whilst sticking a tab to my arm. Hopefully this thing works fast. "So what takes you to Magnolia?"
She sighs. "I'm trying to join a guild, Fairy Tail. But, I doubt I'll get in" she states sadly.
Wait, doesn't she know I'm from FairyTail? I mean, it's not like I'm really famous or anything but I have seen myself in a few magazines here and there what girls read at home. Maybe she doesn't read those kinda things, but she should have at least heard
of me.
"I'm a Fairy Tail Wizard you know" I tell her.
She gives me a nod. "I know, I know who you are as well. But, I'm kinda normal and don't got screaming at someone if they're famous. I mean, I don't get why other girls do. Guess I was just trying to be polite".
I grin at her words, even though she doesn't see me. Huh, I guess it is nice when I'm not being screamed at by some girls when they recognise me. Most are all 'OH MY GOD YOU'RE TETSU REDFOX!' But, Yuki actually got me to tell her instead of exaggeratingit
all.
"All aboard!" Someone hollersfrom a train window. I sigh, thinking of the 1 hours a head. Aki seems to voice this and roles her eyes, a smile on her lips. She nudges my arm and looks up at me.
"I'll keep you company, but if you like I'm out" joking me starts to walk towards the train doors. I smile and shake my head, she's something all right.
