Chapter One
"Did you hear the rumors?" a girl asked her friend sitting next to her at a restaurant.
"Huh, what rumors?" her friend asked, confused.
"Fairy Tail might be getting a new member!" the girl said enthusiastically.
"No way? Really? I wonder what kind of wizard it'll be this time! Is it a boy or a girl, do you know?" the friend also asked.
"I am not sure what type of wizard it is, many rumors go around on that one, my sources have not confirmed any of them yet, but it is a girl. I also have been told she is fairly young, around sixteen or seventeen." the girl answered her curious friend.
"Hello ladies, may I ask you a few questions about this 'new girl'?" a male voice asked next to them.
The two girls jumped, and looked at a tall, well muscled boy with spiky black hair. His cold blue eyes looked at them indifferently, waiting for them to respond.
"Oh my, it's Gray, Gray Fullbuster!" the girls friend swooned, hearts appearing in her eyes.
"Yes, of course! Anything for you!" the girl shouted, hearts also appearing in her eyes.
"Who is this girl who Fairy Tail is recruiting?" he asked, pulling up a chair to their table.
"Well, so far she is nameless, but she is around sixteen or seventeen. According to rumors, she is either a fire, ice, wind, or light wizard. Some of my sources have said she has been affiliated with Fairy Tail for sometime now, just never actually joined. Some say the master has attempted at recruiting her, but she would disappear every time he tried." the girl said, relaying all of her information.
"And you girls names are?" Gray asked, flashing them a thankful smile.
"M-my name is Taylor, Taylor Reese." the girl with the information said, her cheeks flushing from the smile.
"I'm K-Kris Peterson." the friend said, speechless.
"Well, I must thank you girls for your help. See you later, Taylor, Kris, it was a pleasure to speak to you all, but I am afraid I must be going, my friends seem to be getting slightly inpatient."
"HURRY UP YOU DROOPY EYED FREAK!" another male shouted, fire spewing from his mouth. His pink hair spiked in every direction.
"Shut up, Natsu! I'm coming!" Gray shouted, his right hand into a fist. An irritated tick mark appeared on his forehead, growing as he and Natsu exchanged their usual banter.
He quickly exited the building where two girls, a cat, and the fired up Natsu waited.
"Gray, what was all that about?" one of the girls asked. Her blonde hair swayed slightly in the breeze, and her brown eyes shining with curiosity.
"Just wondering if they knew anything about this new person Gramps is 'recruiting'." he said, shrugging it off.
"And, what did you find out?" the other girl demanded, her scarlet red hair also swaying slightly.
"Nothing, it was all useless information other than she's around our age, and an old friend of Fairy Tail whose remained a secret." he said, disappointed.
"Well, only way to know is to hurry back to the guild and find out for ourselves!" Natsu shouted, holding a fist in the air. "Let's go Happy! We need to hurry back!"
"Aye sir!" a blue cat shouted, appearing behind Natsu.
The group headed out, making their way to the train station.
"Ah, why do we always need to take the train?!" Natsu screamed, being dragged on board by the ear by Erza. He isn't affected by the transportation until the trains engine starts up, and he falls over, drooling all over the place.
They all sit down, ignoring Natsu's twitching and uncomfortable figure next to them, settling down for the two-hour ride to Magnolia.
After the train arrives in the city, the three of them exit the train, dragging Natsu behind with them. Once he hits the normal ground, he jumps back to normal.
"Alright! Now to get to the guild! I'm all fired up!I want to meet the new kid!" Natsu shouted, his energy quickly returning.
The other three sweat-dropped, yet followed him anyways.
The city was alive, and bustling with people. Various shops lined their path. Bakery's, bookstores, restaurants, general stores, grocery stores, magic stores, floral stores, and many more.
The group smiled and waved at the citizens as they passed, many returning the gesture and welcoming them back from their latest assignment.
"Ah, welcome back you guys! Can I offer you a cake for your return?" a pastry chef shouted to them.
Erza's eyes sparkled, " That would be lovely! Do you have any strawberry cake?"
"Of course Erza! Here you are!" he said, handing it to her.
She gratefully accepted it, smiling to herself.
After a while of walking, the group finally stopped in front of the guild.
They all filed into the main hall, quickly being welcomed back by Mira Jane.
"Ah! Welcome back you guys!" she shouted, smiling widely at the group.
"Mira! Where's Gramps?" Natsu shouted, a grin stretched on his face.
"He's over there drinking and talking to a girl." Mira said, pointing to a table on the opposite side of the room.
"Gramps!" Natsu shouted, running quickly to the Master.
"Yes, Natsu?" he asked, taking a swig of his drink, sighing in content.
"I heard you were trying to recruit a new wizard! Where is she!?" Natsu spoke quickly.
A cough sounded from behind Natsu. He turned around and was greeted with an auburn-haired girl with crystal blue eyes.
"Ah! Who are you!?" Natsu shouted at the girl.
"That is none of your concern, Salamander. But if you do not mind, you interrupted Master Makarov's conversation with myself." she said, her eyes void of emotion.
"Aw, lighten up Aaron! No need to be so harsh on the boy!" Master said, obviously drunk.
"Alright then." she said, nodding at him.
"Are you the new girl?" Gray asked from behind Aaron, staring at her back.
"Yes, and who may I ask is wanting to know?" she said, turning around, only to widen her eyes in shock.
