You couldn't believe what you were doing anymore. Ever since the other day, your world has been turned upside down, all thanks to that pink-haired dragon boy.

It had been just another normal day at your guild; you were sitting with one of your "friends," Angelina, playing poker with magic items instead of poker chips. The two of you had developed this strange tradition of playing poker on the first Monday morning of each month, and waging the items that you had acquired during your missions.

Angelina, being the cheater she was, had won yet another celestial magic key off of you. (They were just common-place keys, thankfully.) That's when it all happened. Precy, one of your guild's more "savvy workers," burst through the doors, covered in scratches and bruises, panting like he had never breathed before that moment.

Everyone sat silently staring at him, waiting as he tried to get enough air so he could say something. Finally he managed one word. The one word that always caused mass hysteria in your guild. "...Council..." he gasped as he fell onto the wooden floor in exhaustion. Everyone scrambled like mice.

That's right. You were a part of a dark guild. In fact, you'd been there for as long as you could remember. When you were young, your family had been killed in a house fire while you were across town. You needed money to care for yourself, so without even thinking things through, you joined the dark guild right outside of town. The jobs paid well, the people were interesting, and you spent most of your time there. Before you knew it, it was your 17th birthday. The seventh anniversary of your family's death.

This had been the 4th time in the last month that your guild had to relocate itself due to the Council. You sighed as you felt the wood seat below you quivering, everyone scurrying around, clinging to solid objects as the entire guild shook. And suddenly in a flash, it stopped, and everything outside of the windows had changed from the empty forest to the outskirts of a large town. You stared outside in frustration, trying to remember this town. It seemed so familiar, but you didn't know why.

Your guild members sighed in relief as they returned to their original spots. "Good thing Master can use that teleportation magic, huh?" Angelina giggled as she sat down next to you, crossing her bare legs.

"I guess," you sigh, propping your head up on your hand.

"Oh come on, it's a new town. There have got to be some hot boys around here! Why don't you go do a little... exploring?" she winked.

"You're such a freak," you smirk, standing up. "Alright, I'm headed to town," you announce to no one in particular as you march outside.

"400 jewels for a freakin' bowl of ramen?! What kind of nonsense is that?! You aren't getting any business out of me, that's for sure!" You shouted as you marched away from the fancy ramen stand you found near the town square. Usually you were a very "chill" person (as Angelina put it), but for some reason you were NOT in a good mood that day.

You wandered around for a little while, glancing around at all the happy people. Some of them seemed to notice your guild mark on your (b/p), and you overheard some words thrown around; "...challengers...different...weird...fairy..."

Fairy was a word you heard mentioned a lot as you walked through town. "What's so special about fairies?" you ask yourself as you walk, putting your hands behind your head.

"Is that a challenge?" a crackled voice said from right behind, making you fly up into the air. Literally. This was due to one of your favorite magic items, rocket shoes. They were controlled by the wearer's mind, although, they did seem to like to start up when you were startled, which you hate to admit happened relatively often.

Spinning around in the air, down on the ground stood a strange pink-haired boy. He gave you a quizzical look, tilting his head to the side and crossing his bare arms over his exposed chest. He then called up to you, "Oi! I'm not that scary, am I?"

"No no!" you wave your arms back and forth, shaking your head as you land back down on the ground. "You just… startled me is all…"

"Well obviously," he smirked. "You jumped higher than Lucy does when she finds me somewhere in her house!" the strange boy started laughing at his own joke.

"Um… yeah…" you said, awkwardly laughing with him. If this guy was crazy, you didn't want to make him upset with you.

"So you don't like Fairy Tail, eh?" the spiky-top boy said, his laughter abruptly stopping. He looked you dead in the eye, seeming suddenly very serious. Yep, he was definitely crazy.

"Fairy Tail? Is that what all the fairy talk is around this place?" you raise your eyebrow.

"Of course!" the boy shouts, "Fairy Tail is the strongest, coolest, and greatest guild in all of Fiore!"

You felt your eyes go wide with shock. There was a wizard guild here? A strong one? You had to warn everyone. There was no doubt in your mind that you would get reported and captured by the Council. "Oh… ok… well um thanks for talking to me. I'll just be go-"

"Wanna come check it out?!" he suddenly shouted, grabbing onto your wrist and quickly dragging you in the opposite direction.

"Wha?!" you shout in confusion as your brain attempts to catch up to you. Before you knew it, you were standing in front of a huge cement building that looked like a castle. Staring up, you noticed a banner with a symbol that looked somewhat like a fairy with a tail. Just like the symbol that was on the boy's shoulder. In front of you was the gate that read in huge letters, "FAIRY TAIL."
