Fairy Tail one-shot

*flashback*

Two young girls ran down a narrow street, dodging flaming carts and fallen trees. They were identical except for their hair. One had blue, the other red. Both had tears in their eyes as they glanced back again and again at the limp bodies in the street, two of which they knew belonged to their parents. Finally, they broke away from the town and fled into the forest, but they kept running. They didn't know how long they were running for before they found themselves in a huge clearing. They looked around at the lonely space as they gasped for breath.

Then, they heard the sound of beating wings. Two dragons landed in the clearing. The girls cowered in fear, but the beasts did not advance. Finally, both dragons bent their long scaly necks to the ground. Were they motioning for the girls to mount them? They had nowhere else to go, so the girls cautiously crept forward towards separate dragons. They knew this would be goodbye… for a very very long time. They nodded their heads sadly at one another.

"Goodbye, Wendy," whispered the red haired girl.

"Goodbye, Sadie-chan. I'll miss you." And with that, the dragons began to beat their wings yet again and the sisters found themselves flying farther and farther apart.

Sadie Marvell stood on the docks of Magnolia, breathing in the salty ocean air and letting her long red hair whip in her face. Although it was sunny and hot now, she could feel that a storm was coming soon. Maybe today. Sadie didn't mind, though. She was rather fond of storms. It was refreshing to stand out in the storm and feel the heavy rain hit her shoulders. The best feeling in the world. Lily, a grey-furred exceed and Sadie's best friend stood on her shoulder.

"Hey there! Are you a dragon slayer, too?" a voice said from behind. Sadie turned, startled. A boy with wild pink hair waved at her. He had the mark of a Fairy Tail wizard. Sadie nodded.

"My name is Natsu, son of Igneel, the Fire Dragon. I'm in Fairy Tail. Are you a dragon slayer?" He seemed nice enough, so Sadie replied: "I'm Sadie, daughter of Celiesa, the Storm Dragon. I'm in Magnolia to find a Wizard's guild to join."

"Why don't you come with me? I can show you what Fairy Tail looks like, and maybe you'll join us! Fairy Tail has two other first-generation dragon slayers, Gajeel and Wendy. You look a lot like her-" Sadie's heart skipped a beat. It's probably just a coincidence, she told herself. It's a common name. And I'm sure a lot of people look like me.

"- and a second-generation named Laxus." Sadie nodded and followed Natsu towards a building with the Fairy Tail flag hanging from it. She smiled. Maybe she could finally settle down here.

Inside, people sat, chatting, around tables. Some turned to look as she passed by.

"Hmm… she looks just like Wendy," Sadie heard several people mutter. Again, she felt a wave of sadness wash over her. She noticed that Natsu had stopped walking and was looking at a short man sitting cross-legged on a stool.

"Well, hello there. I am Master Makarov. Who are you? You look a bit like another member of the guild, Wendy Marvell." Sadie's breath caught. Marvell? Then, it really was her Wendy? She realized that Makarov was waiting for a reply.

"My name is Sadie Marvell. I think that the person you are speaking of is my twin sister. We were separated when we were very little." Makarov nodded understandingly.

"Wendy is out on a job at the moment, however she should be back soon. In the meantime, are you here to join the guild?" Sadie nodded. A white-haired girl that Sadie recognized as Mirajane from the Sorcerer Weekly stepped forward with an ink pad and stamp. Sadie let Mirajane stamp the official symbol of the Fairy Tail guild onto her shoulder. She smiled to herself, picturing her sister's face when they met again, after nine long years.

A man cleared his throat.

"How is she still the same age as Wendy if Wendy was on Tenroujima for seven years?" Everyone looked at Sadie. This might be a little hard to explain.

"I'm not sure what Tenroujima is, but I was in a Timelock for seven years. I was scavenging for food on an island near here when it suddenly began to sink underwater. I didn't know why or how, but the next thing I knew, a girl in a white dress shook me awake and told me that it was safe to leave. Basically, I was suspended in time for seven years. " There was a collective gasp, but Sadie didn't understand. What was the big deal?

Oh well, she sighed. At least she had a home.
