It would be an odd sight to see if this were not Magnolia, the home of the strongest and strangest guild in. There walking through the town was a quite muscular girl with baggy, black shorts that went down to her knees; a shirt that showed off her impressive biceps and was such a deep shade of blood red that it was almost black; bubblegum pink hair that fell to the middle of her back in braids; a thick, long, angry, red scar that went over her left eye; and a vicious looking wolf walking at her side.

" Do you think we'll find him?" she asked it.

"How I know?" the wolf replied grumpily, in a bland tone.

" Well, you don't have to be like that." the girl said.

" But you wouldn't let me sleep." the dog half whined, half spat. Then the girl let out an aggravated sigh and said,

" Why don't you just transform into something that will allow you to sleep on me." So the animal transformed herself into a Inland Taipan. At which point the girl allowed the snake to coil itself up and around her arm, creep around her neck, and rest her head on the girls shoulder. She then walked on seeking out direction.


Mean while at Fairy Tail Gray and Natsu were in the middle of a heated argument, almost every single one of the guild members were fighting and Cana was drinking. So it was an average day for the guild.

" Droopy eyes!" Gray yelled.

" Squinty eyes!" Natsu countered.

" You wanna go, flame brain?" Gray yelled.

" Shut up, pervert." said, suddenly losing interest in the fight.

"..."

" Ren? No. It can't be her. She's probably dead. Its not her. It couldn't be, could it?" he was muttering under his breath.

" N- Natsu?" Gray inquired but the dragon slayer but he didn't respond.

" Gray, what's wrong with Natsu?" Lucy asked putting down the drinks she was carrying. She was treating the gang to drinks and she and Erza were carrying them to the table.

" Natsu? Natsu are you okay?" Erza asked, "Gray... Is this of your doing? 'Cause if it is, so help me I'll-" she was saying then Gray cut her off.

" No, I swear. We were arguing and he just started acting like this." he said

" Ren." he whispered, looking like he might cry.

" Who's Ren?" Lucy asked but the truth of the matter was that Gray and Erza didn't know either.

" Natsu, what's wrong?" Erza pried, putting her hand on Natsu's shoulder. Then coming back to his senses he shrugged her off and took a long sip of his drink.

" Nothing, I'm fine. Why?" he replied. Erza sensing that he didn't want to talk about it just told him that he seemed a little " out of it". Lucy started to ask who Ren was but Erza gave one of her scariest if-looks-could-kill stares and shut her up immediately.


" This has to be it. Can't you smell him." the girl said excitedly, waking her companion when they were outside of fairy tail. " It does." the snake replied groggily, for it was still half asleep.

Okay, this is it. the girl thought, walking into the guild. Of course by now not only could they smell Natsu but Natsu could smell them. The only difference is that he figured that his brain was playing tricks on him.
