Chapter One: The Letter

It is a beautiful morning thought Yukino Agria as she made her way through the throngs of people in the town to get to Sabertooth. She smiled and waved at a few of the townspeople who knew her by name. She felt lighter, full of life and energy. There was only one reason why: Sting Eucliffe. Sabertooth's new master. Sting had changed the cold, barely beating guild into a guild that valued every member and accepted each member as a friend and comrade. Yukino smiled at memories of a certain team with a blonde Celestial mage, a salmon-haired Fire Dragon Slayer, a red-haired Requip mage, and an Ice Make mage stripper. Team Natsu. No, not just Team Natsu. Team Fairy Tail. Yukino knew the next time she saw the Fairy Tail members on a job or in the town, she needed to thank them for their kindness.

Sabertooth. Yukino instinctively started to walk faster. She wanted to get there as soon as possible. Why? She had good news that she wanted to share with her teammates and a few others. This morning, after getting ready for the day, she had checked her mailbox and was fairly surprised to see she had a letter addressed to her in the mail. It was not often that the Celestial Spirit mage received mail. She had opened the letter and read the graceful handwriting on the letter. Her eyes had widened in shock and excitement. Yukino decided to take the letter to show to Sabertooth's Guild Master.

Yukino flung open the doors of the Sabertooth guild and trotted in. Her eyes took in every detail of the guild until her eyes rested upon a certain occupied table.

Orga Nanagear, Lightning God Slayer.

Dobengal, Resident Ninja.

Rogue Cheney, Shadow Dragon Slayer.

Sting Eucliffe, Guild Master and White Dragon Slayer.

Rufus Lore, Memory Make Mage.

And at last but not least, Frosch and Lector, Rogue's and Sting's Exceeds.

Her teammates. Sabertooth's strongest team. She walked to the table smiling.

"Is there any particular reason as to why you slammed open the door, Yukino?" asked Rufus without looking up from his book." I do not think the Master will be too happy to pay for more damage bills especially damage to the guild."

"Good morning Rufus," Yukino chirped, smiling at the long-haired young man." You are here early."

Rufus sighed." I would not be here so early if I didn't have to babysit a certain White Dragon Slayer."

"Hey!" yelled a miffed Dragon Slayer." I don't need to be babysat!"

Rufus made a face at his guild master." Yes, yes you do. I wouldn't have to if you didn't screw up on the paperwork last time. Now, I have to double check every single pile of paperwork to make sure you read through every single word. You signed everything. You didn't ignore the damage bills. Do I need to explain every—."

"No, you don't have to," Sting waved his hand dismissively.

Rufus sighed in defeat.

Orga smiled at Yukino. "Rufus is about to blow up. Sting didn't sign half of the papers the last time, he misplaced his apology letter with a—"

"Orga, I don't think Yukino needs to know what my idiotic partner did," interrupted Rogue quickly.

Orga shrugged." I thought Yukino would want to know."

Yukino smiled warmly at the bickering men at her table. Dobengal and Rogue were discussing Spatial Magic and Dragon Slayer Magic. Sting was stuffing his face full with food. Lector was cheerfully copying his idol. Orga was eating while Rufus kept his nose buried in his book. Yukino knew one thing for certain. She wouldn't have it any other way. She chose to take a seat next to the Memory Make mage." I got a letter in the mail."

Rufus raised an eyebrow." Oh? Do you care to share?"

Yukino giggled." It is from Lucy Heartfilia."

Every person at the table chose to turn their attention to the Celestial Spirit mage.

"Really? Did she decide to join Sabertooth and stay with me?" asked Sting excitedly." Or does it have to do with Natsu? 'Cause, I wanna fight him!"

Lector cheered," And this time Sting will definitely win! Sting is the best!"

Sting grinned." Damn straight!"

Rogue groaned." His ego is bigger than his head. It's hot enough to inflate an air balloon."

"Hey!"

"Fro thinks so too!"

"What?! Not you too Frosch!"

"Sting is the best!"

"Seriously?"

"Fro thinks so too!"

"Of course I am the best!"

"Quiet! I am trying to read!"

Yukino giggled." It has nothing to do with Natsu. In fact, Lucy doesn't even mention Natsu in the letter."

"Interesting," grunted Orga." Does it have to do with Fairy Tail?"

"Besides the usual brawls, matchmaking She-Devil, damage bills, and reward money being eaten up by Natsu, Gray, and Erza…then no," laughed Yukino." Lucy does spend a lot of time writing about that."

Rogue let out a little sound of amusement." I would imagine so. It is Fairy Tail."

Everyone let out laughs. There were nothing but good memories of Fairy Tail. Ever since the Grand Magic Games and the whole Eclipse Gate fiasco, Fairy Tail and Sabertooth have been on friendly terms. In fact, both guilds have been so friendly, Yukino had helped Lucy with their Spirits during the Eclipse Celestial Spirits situation when the spirits tried to gain total freedom and Sabertooth and Fairy Tail teamed up when Team Natsu, Sting, and Rogue went to investigate the mysterious island.

Rufus turned towards a bemused Yukino." Tell us what did Lucy write."

Yukino looked at every single man in the group." I am not sure why because she did not really explain why, but Lucy wants to go to Akane Resort. With me."

"If you are looking for permission, you have it," Sting responded immediately." You can go."

"That's not what all she said."

"Oh?"

"She wants to come and visit Sabertooth before heading to Akane Resort."
