Hello everyone! This is my first story so go easy on me. Comments are appreciated. I would probably update every week! I have school though, so I can't promise anything. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Fairy Tail does not belong to me! ( I wish it did though :( )

Sting's POV:

I walked up to the request board looking for a suitable job for me and Rogue to do. I couldn't find anything interesting at all! Defeating dark guilds, and finding various things; so boring! My eyes scanned the request board again, and this time something caught my eye. I have never seen such a request before. It was to be a bodyguard for some rich family. It sounds interesting so I took it off the board and showed it to Rogue.

"Hey, Rogue! Let's go on this mission. The job looks easy and the pay's great," I hollered across the guild, trying to find my partner.

"No need to shout, you know. I'm right behind you," he replied, scaring me as usual. We have been friends for a year, and yet his sudden appearances still scare me.

Rogue's POV:

My sudden appearance scared him again. It's been a whole year and he still can't just find me without calling my name! Before I could say anything else, Sting shoved a piece of paper into my face. I took the paper and read it.

"Protect my daughter during the ball," I mumbled to myself, "Keep her away from the other girls."

I looked at Sting as if he had grown three heads. "Why are we taking this mission?" I asked, confused.

"Because it's easy and it pays a lot too!" he replied seriously, "And we can relax and enjoy the ball."

"Last time I checked you can't dance at all," I deadpanned, looking at Sting.

"I don't think you can dance at all, either!" he replied defensively.

"Actually, I am quite a good dancer," I said, looking at him, "But never mind. Let's go do the mission."

I know this chapter is short, but all the other chapters are all longer than this. :)
