Disclaimer: I don't own any of Fairy Tail. No part of it. Only Hesper-chan!
AN: Yay! The start of a new adventure! What fun! We left of with Natsu (being the idiot he is) getting knocked out by Laxus, and Hesper has to fight him in order to join the Thunder Legion! (Fyi: I have edited this story, more like updated it... Cuz I have problems with my stories sometimes...)

Chapter One: The Kicking Session
"Hesper-chan, what have you done?! You're gonna get maimed if you don't stop thinking about… Well, whatever you're thinking about!" Lisanna shook Hesper for the fifth time that evening.
The girls were out training in the training area next to Fairy Tail for the big battle between Laxus and Hesper the next day, and it was already evening (and they had been training all day), though Hesper was to busy worrying about her ships that she should have been putting together then training.
"Lis-chan, why bother? We all know he's gonna kick my ass with one punch! Err, with one kick! I've trained all I can." Hesper snapped out of her planning mode, sounding glum again.
"Not necessarily. I mean, even if he does kick you're butt; you'll probably still be on his team. He was the one who challenged you, so… You never know! And also, Natsu kicked his butt... Once…"
"It obviously wasn't yesterday; he got knocked out with a single punch!"
"It was during the battle of Fairy Tail…"
"But that was 8 years ago! Who knows how powerful he is now!" Hesper said, terrified. "I'm just gonna get some sleep. Sleep is the best training. (Unless I get another nightmare…)"
"Nightmares? You havin' nightmares about me now?" Laxus had walked into the training area arms crossed over his chest, grinning, and his followers not too far behind him.
"N-No!" Hesper turned around, forgetting that the dragon slayer had sensitive hearing. (And also she didn't even know he was there in the first place…) "I-I was just saying I should get some sleep… Come on Lisanna." She tugged on her friend's arm and headed for the entrance, Laxus and his lackey's moving in to go train.
"Awww… The little girly's scared! Kyahaha!" Bickslow laughed, his tongue hanging out of his mouth, as the two girls walked by, his babies saying "Scared! Little girly's scared! Awww!" And floating around him.
The shy girl stopped in her tracks, a look of utter shock and anger on her face, let go of Lisanna's arm, whipping around to the man in the visor, who wore it even at night.
"What did you say…?" Hesper growled at him, stomping closer to him, her dragon wings sprouting from her back on instinct.
"Bickslow, you better take that back…" Freed said monotony, like he normal says things, wondering about the girls antics.
"Kyahaha! Like what is the little girly gonna be able to do to me?" He sneered as she got closer, her armor now growing over her skin.
"I'm gonna do this!" Hesper was close enough to launch her boot up to his crotch, kicking it, hard. He collapsed, groaning, clutching the sore part, while she grabbed his visor, ripping it off of his face, holding his face up by his blue mohawk, and stared directly into his eyes.
"Hesper-chan, don't!" Lisanna screamed as Bickslow activated his eyes, turning them from red to green in an instant. Hesper didn't care; her eyes glowed a darker green-gold color at once.
"Eye magic doesn't affect me when I'm in this state." She said to her scared friend. "Now, what did you f*cking say to me?" she growled back at Bickslow, who she had kicked again, and had deactivated his eyes, a look of pain, horror, and fear on his face.
"N-Nothing… Babies! Come help daddy!" He shouted at his tiki dolls, which floated up to him in an instant, carrying him away as best as little dolls could. The rest of the Raijinshuu watched as Bickslow "lipped" toward them they watched as Hesper and Lisanna left, Hesper deactivating her wings and armor, and Lisanna looking back at the group, mouthing 'sorry' to them.
"Laxus…" The man who was kicked in his crotch said wearily.
"Yes, Bickslow?" The Lighting Dragon Slayer sighed, turning his head from the spot where he watched where his college got hurt only moments ago.
"She scares me… Make sure you wear a f*cking cup or somethin'… Gosh that f*cking hurt… She's worse than Evergreen…" Bickslow groaned out, laying out on the grassy ground, his babies floating around him, while the Fairy mage yelled at him from her spot.
"Alright. Let's get to training then, yeah?" Laxus laughed at his friend, and the other two still looking behind them while they began their training, just to see if the scary girl would come back. She didn't.
o~o~o~o
"Hesper! I can't believe you! Why would you do that?! He was just messing around!" Lisanna yelled at Hesper who was sipping tea (even though she hated the stuff) that she had made for her.
They were at Hesper's place at Fairy Hill's, the place where most of the girls lived who were members of Fairy Tail. They had walked there after the 'incident' at the training grounds. Lisanna had found some tea in Hesper's kitchen and decided to make some, to 'relax' them both. But it wasn't working for the pinknette.
"What do you mean 'he was only messing around'? He shouldn't have said that unless he wanted a fight. And fight him I did. He won't be able to stand for a week now." Hesper smiled evilly over her mug, while Lisanna shuttered.
"B-But that wasn't nice! Now people are gonna be routing for Laxus instead of you, because you hurt Bickslow!"
"You like him doncha?"
"Who, Laxus?! Eww, gross."
"No, Bickslow…" The now evil girl grinned, and the other one blushed a heavy shade of red, which clashed with her green tank top.
"N-no… Why would you think that?! He's… Completely insane! Crazy!"
The other girl's grin got wider.
"His tongue hangs out of his mouth when he does that creepy-ass laugh!"
Hesper was still grinning, leaning over to get closer to the girls face, which was still beet red.
"He likes, no, loves tiki dolls! And he's funny, sweet… AGH! Ok so maybe I like him a little. What's it to ya?!" The heavily blushing girl asked.
"Who do you think got all those couples together?" Hesper sat back up straight, the grin never leaving her face.
"Y-You?! That would explain why Gajeel and Levy got together after you showed up… How'd you do it?!"
"You're sister told me to. She paid me well in order to."
"So you're just here to get couples together?" Lisanna said, a little shocked, and sad, that her friend was just here for money.
"What?! No! You're sisters scary and she's kinda making me do this stupid job!" Hesper said, placing her mug down on the coffee table in front of her couch, which both girls were sitting on. "But, no, that wasn't my intention when I joined this guild. I wanted a family, cuz I lost all of mine…"
"Oh… We've all lost parts of our families at one point… But every thing will turn out to be ok, that's why we all joined Fairy Tail, right? Now, come on, I got to get back to my room, and you got to get some rest. Night Hesper-chan!" The Take Over mage said to her, and Hesper nodded, standing up to show her to the door.
"Yeah. Night Lis-chan!" Hesper waved goodbye to her friend, who waved back. She shut the door, and climbed into bed. Sadly, her nightmares did decide to show up that night, while the purple jeweled and silver necklace on her dresser glowed a little…
o~o~o~o (Hesper's Dream)
I see myself, playing with Percy, I had my tiny dragon wings on my back, hovering off the ground.
I was only five, just learning about my new magic, and Percy was sixteen (AN: He was eighteen in the other dream, so this is two years before that memory nightmare) and he had magnificent dark gray and dark teal dragon wings. His shaggy mane of teal hair only complimented the wings.
We were laughing and playing out in the yard, even if it was childish of Percy, but he didn't seem to care. We didn't have lots of friends, we living in the only house in this great forest.
"Daddy!" I shout, seeing the man with the same shaggy, graying teal hair and matching beard (which looked rather interesting, seeing him now) running over to him, hugging his legs, him being really tall, both of us laughing.
"How is she?" He asked Percy, looking away from my antics.
"Hi Dad... She's not getting better. I've been keeping Hesper away from her, just in case." He went over to hug him, as I was clutching onto his leg, laughing my head off as he tried to shake me off.
"Daddy, when will I be able to see mommy?" I ask, not knowing that it was a sensitive question then.
"I don't know sweetie, but hopefully soon, ok? Now come on, lets go check on her Percy." He finally pried me off of his leg, and I held his hand while we walked inside. None of us knew but dad that she was already gone.
"Mommy, mommy! I've got my dragon wings now! Do you want to see them?" I said, activating them, fluttering around the kitchen, toward her room.
"NO! Hesper! Mommy's still sick, ok?" Percy said to me, grabbing me with his large hands, pulling me into a hug.
"But why do you get to see her! It's not fair!" I said, stomping my tiny foot on his bigger one, and he let me go as I flew over into my mom's room, stopping when I saw her in front of me.
Her face was too pale. Her short hot pink hair falling around her face. Her eyes fluttered open at my noise.
"Hesper! How are you? You look so beautiful today!" She sat up and croaked out, smiling at me with her green eyes. They had lost most of their color though, and she looked like a ghost with them, all of her, being so pale.
"Mommy! Mommy… Are you ok…? MOMMY!" I screamed, which the guys ran in after hearing me, as I saw her disappear before me. My wings deactivated, and I fell to the floor, climbing into her bed, looking at where my mother disappeared right before my eyes.
"Don't worry sweetie, I'm ok. I'll always be with you, and I'll make you stronger when you become weak." I hear her whisper. She was a ghost. This whole time she was a ghost and neither of the guys bothered to tell me.
"Shelia! You said you wouldn't leave yet!" My dad shouted after the wisp of smoke that flew out the window.
The wisp of smoke flew over to him and whispered "I need to leave before I become a lost soul. Take care of them. Please." And flew out the window a second time.
"MOMMY!" I screamed out to her, running over to the window, and I saw the wisp of smoke disperse.
Percy only looked enraged, and whipped around to face our dad. "You said she was sick and that's why she looked so pale!" He shouted at him.
"I-I didn't know until just last week myself. Why do you think I came back to see you two?" He stuttered out, cringing as Percy requipt his dragon wings, growing his dark gray and even darker teal armor around his skin.
"Hesper." He turning to face me. "Say bye bye to daddy ok? He'll be going on a job for a while. A very long while, and I'm gonna take care of you while he's gone, ok?" he turned to face him, shoving him out of the bedroom.
"O-Ok! Bye bye daddy! Be safe ok?" I smiled through the small tears on my face, and waved at him, while Percy just dragged him out of the room, and I looked out mom's window to see dad leave with a backpack on his back, walking away from the house and into the forest yet again.
o~o~o~o
I never saw my dad again, but my brother did then join a guild after that. Every time I asked him about his new guild, or the jobs he did, he would always say: "We get money to eat, yeah? So stop askin' questions and go play out in the yard or somethin'."
He also never told me why dad never came back. I just assume now that Percy was crazy.
o~o~o~o
AN: Yay! End of chapter one! Another memory nightmare… Hesper's mom was a ghost, and she just wanted to see Hesper one more time before she left. Really sad, I know… Oh, and if you're wondering about the necklace, It's cursed, and it gives the wearer, or the person who wore it last, their worst memories to be relived every night. But its power is wearing off, which is why Hesper only has nightmare memories like that once or twice a month. Keep R&R!
~LolGizzmo55 promises that the next chapter will be action packed and funny!
