DISCLAIMER: I do not own One Piece or Fairy Tail

This is my first story in English. I try to avoid any mistakes, but as English is not my native language there could be some. Please don't be too strict (:

Some characters could be OOC, sorry for that.

Prologue: The Meeting

Mira's POV

The young mage stood at the bar while watching another fight of her friends. She laughed, this happened at least once a day. In most of the cases it was Natsu's fault for wanting to fight either Erza or Gildarts. However this time it was her brother, Elfman, who was responsible for the disaster. He accidently destroyed (how Titania called it) Erza's cake.

Even with these endless fights Mira was kind of happy, though. Only a few days ago they came back from Tenroujima after they were attacked by Acnologia seven years ago and now most things were back to how they used to be. Nevertheless there were still things which were not like before. Fairy Tail wasn't the number one guild anymore and the world still did not know that they returned. The mages did not want to talk about the things that happened, so only a few people (like the mages of Blue Pegasus and Lamia Scale) knew the story behind their disappearance.

The fight only lasted a few minutes, before it came to an abrupt stop as an unknown person entered the guild.

He seemed to be about Natsu's height, maybe a bit taller. He had black hair and wore an orange cowboy hat with two smileys. Furthermore he was half-naked as he wore no top.

"Hello…" the young man said while smiling

"Would you mind telling me, where exactly I am?"

Mira smiled softly as she approached him.

"You're in Magnolia, to be precise inside the guild of Fairy Tail. I am Mirajane, by the way, but please call me Mira. Who might you be?"

I've seen him somewhere before, I am sure … but where?

"How rude of me." he said grinning.

"My name's Portgas D. Ace. Pleased to meet you.

Fairy Tail, you said? I heard of you… quite a rebellious guild, aren't you?

I am not the right person to say something, though." he answered while laughing.

"Portgas D. Ace?" asked Erza as she, too, approached him.

"Commander of Whitebeard's 2nd division. Am I right?"

"That's where I saw his face before. On a wanted poster of the Navy." Mira threw in.

"Wanted poster? So you're strong? Then fight me!"

"Will you ever stop asking people to fight you, flame brain?"

"I'm not a coward like other people, pervert!"

"I'm neither a coward nor a pervert!" Gray said while taking off his clothes.

"Yes, you are! Just look at you!"

"I am no- … what?! Where are my clothes?!"

As Gray quickly put his clothes on again, Natsu started to laugh what caused another fight between them.

They continued until they were hit by a very annoyed Erza.

"Friends should not fight over such a ridiculous thing!"

"A-aye!" the boys spluttered in unison.

Ace laughed quietly.

"You kind of remind me of two people from my brother's crew."

Finally he turned to Mira, not answering Natsu's previous question.

"Would you mind showing me around?"

Mira just smiled as she told Ace to follow her.

Ace' POV

A few days later Ace left the city, because of some information he got about Blackbeard's whereabouts.

As he went back to sea, it was just like then. It was like when he left three years before Luffy to become a pirate. He even had to promise Natsu that they would meet again and fight someday. He wouldn't come back only to see the DragonSlayer, though. He also wanted to see the white-haired beauty again with whom he fell in love.

He smiled as he thought of the time he spent with Fairy Tail, especially Mira.

- It was Ace' third day in Magnolia. He quickly befriended the guild and spent most of his time with Mirajane.

When they took a walk through the forest, he finally brought himself to ask her this one question which was always on his mind.

"Mira, I've got one question for you… Was it good, that I was born?"

The Demon was surprised by this question and didn't know what to answer at first, but then she smiled in a way only she could. Her smile alone was enough to answer, but she still voiced her thoughts while looking at Ace who seemed to be happy.

"I've got a counter question for you: Why should it be bad?" –

That was the first chapter. I know it's kinda short, but I just wanted to shortly describe how Ace met with Fairy Tail. The next chapters will get longer, I promise!
