Hey guys, so this is my first (and probably only) fic so I hope you enjoy it. This will be along the lines of me updating the chapters every so often and it never ending, so make sure you check back frequently! Knowing myself, I'm probably going to post every day or two, who knows! Anyways hope you all enjoy this.
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. If I did, Nalu would be a thing, Dev would be a real character, and Natsu would have a better secret dragon art.
Here begins my story. The day I joined Fairy Tail... And anything that follows!
-—-
It was a grand town no doubt... I finally arrived in Magnolia city, home to the world renowned guild of Fairy Tail!
I made sure I was as comfortable as possible for the questioning, after all, interrogation makes me nervous. I was donned in my favorite jeans and a black t-shirt. Given I wear something along these lines everyday, I felt extremely confortable in these for whatever reason. Maybe it was just that I had too much eggnog two days ago (IT WAS CHRISTMAS DON'T ASK!) or just the rush of adrenaline in my veins, but I was sure as day that I would be ready for whatever may ensue.
As I approached the guild hall, I stopped for a moment to take a deep breath, I felt invincible. Nothing was going to go wrong today, not for me!
I continued my March toward the hall and then, I was at the great wooden door. I grabbed one door's handle with one hand and the other door with my open hand. I was hoping to make a dramatic entrance and give a sterling first impression, but fate had other plans.
The door flung open, but not by my hand, or foot, or anyone's limbs for the matter. I was knocked back as a blur of pink, orange, and black flew towards me and sent me flying back. The first man I was meant to meet I suppose. The figure got up, and I backed up a little as I was not used to being hit by anything, I was afraid, but exhilarated at the same time. I quickly got up myself. The figure appeared to be on fire, it turned around slowly to me. I backed away one more step. The flames dispersed and the guy just ran up to me and shook me by my shoulders with a big grin across his goofy face. I believe he said something along the lines of...
"Wow! A visitor! We haven't had someone new come around in a long time! WAIT ARE YOU HERE TO JOIN OUR GUILD! I'M ALL FIRED UP NOW!" He loosened his grip on me as a blonde lady knocked the back of his head.
"Now Natsu, what did we say about harassing the visitors?" She directed her attention to me as she gently pulled Natsu aside. "I'm very sorry about Natsu, he's just excited easily. Anyways, my name's Lucy. You mind telling me yours?"
Still dazed from when Natsu shook me, I shook my own head and looked up at her. I responded, "I don't mind at all no. Nice to meet you Lucy! My name's Devonnian Metro, but just call me Dev." I turned towards Natsu. "Hey Natsu, nice to meet you too, you're my kind of people!"
"Well if you're anything like him then I'm going to go insane! Haha!" Lucy laughed as she opened her eyes to meet mine. She appeared to become a bit flustered and blush when she did so, but I didn't notice in the least. We held our gaze for a few seconds until Natsu decided to break the silence.
"So you here for business or pleasure?" Cocky as he was, always asking questions.
"I guess a little of both!" I chuckled at his witty question before I regained composure and finally gathered the guts to say, "I'm here to join Fairy Tail!"
All the rowdiness in the background stopped as they all turned their heads towards me, staring through the great door. Then... A massive uproar of applause sounded throughout the hall. A man, and I emphasize MAN, with white, spiked hair dragged me away from the two I had been talking to and into the hall.
"W-wait! Sir please don't hurt me!" I stuttered as I was spun around to face him.
"He met me with a toothy grin. Don't worry kid! Name's Elfman, and you are?"
"Dev." I replied with as few words as possible as I was still out of breath from randomly being dragged away from my conversation.
"Well it's great to meet you Dev! Now on to why I dragged you in here, my older sister does all the questioning for the newbies, but I got one myself... You ready? Are you a real man?" He inquired with a seriousness like no other.
After catching my breath, I responded with, "I am wise, I am smart, I am confident as I am manly, but when you look in my eyes, do YOU see a man."
"Hmmmm..." He met his eyes with mine as if my remark was a challenge. "I see nothing but a man within a toothpick, you are a true man! But really kid, you should eat more often or you'll just vanish." He laughed a little at the quip he just delivered. "Anyways, I should take you to meet my sister, she saw you through the window and had a feeling you would be trying out." He released my sleeve and gestured me to follow him to a bar set up in the room. He lifted me by my shirt and dropped me in a bar stool. "He's all yours Mira. Kid, Mira's gonna be good to you, don't worry. Also, Mira, after the interview get this kid a sandwich or something of the sort, for a man he's got no meat on him." He just walked away after that was done.
Mira gave me a moment to snap out of the daze Elfman just left me in. "Isn't your brother kind of rough around the edges? He seems to think that he's the manliest thing since Shia Lebeouff's 'Just Do It' speech." I looked up finally to see a somewhat visually appealing lady with hair as white as snow on the other side of the counter. Don't get the wrong idea, I didn't like her like that.
"Yes, Elfman can be quite the doozy sometimes!" She replied.
"Preach it to the choir sister!" I had been so busy snapping out of my daze that I hadn't noticed there were other people there. The one sitting next to me had this response. She was rather provocatively dressed and had her own personal whisky barrel. She obviously drunk a lot since she was blushing a little just as all drunks do. I think with this next part it was just the alcohol taking over but who knows. "So hottie you're thinking of joining the guild huh? My name's Cana, you should definitely enter my guild if you know what I mean." She said this rather seductively, but I didn't pick up on this as I haven't had too much social interaction in the past. Looking back on it, it was probably the alcohol.
I redirected my attention to Mira trying to ignore this Cana lady until she came down.
"So, Mira, you had some questions?" I tried to play it cool even though I was about as nervous as a man tied down to railroad tracks.
"Only two, there would've been three, but I already know your name, so just two. First, what are your intentions here, and just for fun I want you to answer in the form of a Haiku, I make all new members answer as a poem do don't freak out. I'm going to make you that sandwich Elfman mentioned earlier, and don't sweat paying for it, I think you're a nice guy so you can just have it." At this point Mira's subconscious was talking for her as she had no clue what she was saying about me bring a 'nice guy' since she had just met me. Her cheeks gained a slight rosy tint that I didn't pick up on, AGAIN. She then darted of to get the food as to avoid me noticing her face gradually becoming redder and redder.
I spent some time thinking about how to answer in a clever way and when she came back she gave me a cheeseburger with fries and asked what my response was.
I answered with this, "What is true meaning, behind any intention, without friends to help."
Mira, being sensitive as she was to poetry, thought this beautiful, even though I had no thought of it being remotely good.
After wiping away one last tear from her eye, she asked her final question... "What... Is... Your favorite color!"
I was perplexed for a moment, but I answered quickly, "Purple."
"It's settled then, just one moment and you will be in Fairy Tail as an official member!" She pulled out a stamp and clicked a purple button on it. I didn't think much of it, but it was magic. "Where do you want your mark?"
I took a moment to ponder where it would look best, out in the distance I heard something, "WAIT DON'T STAMP HIM YET!" You can always count on Natsu to interrupt a train of thought. He stopped behind me and paused a moment to catch a breath as I stared at him dully. He regained composure and declared, "Get it on your arm like me! That's really all I wanted to say, also I love watching the stamping, I get to be the first person to congratulate them afterwards."
At this point, everyone was staring in anticipation as Lucy walked up to me and said," If your going to copy someone copy me, get it on your hand!"
"I'll just compromise ok guys?" I turned to Mira and showed her my forearm. I pointed to the dead center of it. "I'd like it here please!" Mira stamped and it was official.
Everyone began to cheer as Natsu and Lucy yelled in unison, "Welcome to Fairy Tail!"
