Magnolia, Thousand Island Restaurant, Year X781, August 12
The 15-year-old walked into the restaurant and set the long case she carried down on a table and slid into the booth, digging into her bag, to find her cash in case she did buy something to eat. Sora was just passing through after all, so a bite to eat wouldn't hurt too much. A waitress walked over to her table while her head was turned, wiping her hands on her apron.
"So, what'll it be today, Gray? The usual?"
Sora turned to look at the woman, "Huh?"
"Oh! I'm sorry!" The waitress blushed, embarrassed, "You just look like one of the boys from the local magic guild is all, my mistake! Can I get you something to eat, honey?"
"Uh, do you guys serve dango here?" The teen asked. When the waitress nodded in response Sora smiled smalley, "A cup of chamomile tea and an order of dango then."
"Coming right up." The waitress nodded and walked off.
Gray, Sora thought to herself, That's what she said, right? She said I looked like him, so it has to be. But what would he be doing at a magic guild?
The waitress came back and set a plate with three sticks of dango on it down in front of Sora and set the cup of tea next to that. "There you go, honey. Can I get you anything else?"
"Yeah, actually. That magic guild you mentioned," she picked up the first stick of dango, "What's it called?"
Magnolia, Fairy Tail Guild Hall
"Hey! Is Gray back yet?!" Natsu shouted, slamming his fist into the table.
"He's still out on a mission," Erza told him, "Be patient."
"I don't want to be patient, I want to fight him!"
The doors to the guild hall opened at that moment and someone walked in followed by a dog and carrying a long box on their back.
"Its about time you got back!" Natsu shouted as they walked in, "I've been waiting to fight you since you left on that lame mission!"
"What?"
"You heard me! So bring it on!" The Fire Dragon Slayer charged, fist raised, only to have his gut be hit by the short end of the long box, which then swung up and hit him in the face, knocking him onto his back.
"You've got me mistaken for someone else." The stranger told him, swinging the box so that it rested against their back again and then stepping on his chest, "Gray Fullbuster, right? That's who you thought I was?"
"Yeah, what's it to you?!" Natsu shouted, able to tell that this wasn't Gray now. It was a girl, but she looked creepily like him. "Who are you anyways?!"
"And how do you know Gray?" Erza asked walking over, but not bothering to help Natsu off the ground. She didn't like this girl and it was clear the girl didn't like her either.
"None of your business, Strawberry." The girl snapped, but her voice was quieter now, since she'd realized the whole guild was watching now.
"Hey!" Natsu shouted, getting her attention again, "Will you get off me?!"
"Oh, right." She stepped off his chest, "Uh, sorry? Look, is Gray here or not?"
"I am now." A voice called from the door of the guild, "Who's aski-" Gray stopped short of what he was saying when the girl turned around. The two of them stared at each other for a moment, looking like they both were seeing a ghost. "S-Sora?"
"Yeah." She smiled and her shoulders dropped a little bit, "Sorry, I didn't know you were alive until a few minutes ago, I would've come looking for you if I'd kno-"
Sora stopped what she was saying when Gray had run up and hugged her, tears running down his face. "Its good to see you again."
She hesitated a moment before hugging him back, getting teary eyed, "Yeah, you too."
"Hey, is someone gonna explain who this chick is?!" Natsu snapped, sitting on the floor and looking rather confused.
Gray pushed away from Sora and rubbed his eyes, "My sister, Sora."
"You have a sister?" Erza asked, saying out loud what was written all over Natsu's face, only much calmer.
"Twin sister." Sora corrected, "Which is probably why everyone keeps confusing me for him." She glanced over her brother and gave him a confused look, "Where are your clothes?"
