Our train ride home was like any other. Wendy attempting her Troia on Natsu, and him not trying to puke his guts out, while Gray was avoiding the line of vomit and Erza calmly eating her piece of cake. Then me, Lucy, was wondering why everyone in my guild is crazy. Wendy, Natsu and Gray were sitting on one side and Me and Erza on the other, the exceeds on the table in front of us. As said before this was a normality for Team Natsu, nothing out of the ordinary, then she arrived in front of us and asked a rare question. "Are you Lucy Heartfelia? From Fairy Tail?" a voice of a young girl said. "yes" I say to her, Whilst turning around. She couldn't be any younger than Wendy or Romeo, about 11 I'd say. She wore a blue cap with little wings on it, and she had a dirt covered dark orange shirt and brown pants and for some odd reason she had a dark blue blanket tied around her neck. She had rusty brown hair, was blind in one eye and had no shoes. . That blind eye got me curious but I felt it wasn't polite to ask. "Can you take me to your guild, Please…Mi…ss" Her voice got quieter as she said this. "Ehh?" the team said in unison. "Please Mi..ss, but first may I hide under your table because ummm….I kind of got on here for… free" she gave a tiny awkward smile as she said this. Suddenly we heard loud thuds from the doorway, the little girl dashed under the table and didn't make a peep until the train guards passed.
"Are they gone?" she said quietly. " Yes, you can come up now" Gray said almost demanding but not quite. She got up from the table and sat in between me and Erza. "I a..m t…terribly sorry to ii…in…trude li..like th..is" she said, I believe she has a stuttering problem or she might just be shy. "Well I believe that we can let this pass because you are traveling to our guild and we always encourage new members." Erza said with a small smile on her face. Right as she said this Natsu bolted up, it seemed the Troia had worked. "I smell a new person" He said while opening his eyes. "Who are you?" he added. She tried to say something but Erza cut her off "This is a girl who wants to join our guild, now I don't believe we know your name yet, so if you please." "My na..name is Ray Taiyo" she said quickly. "Well, Ray I'm Natsu and this is my pal Happy!" "Aye!" Happy said in a energetic voice. "I'm Gray, Nice to meet ya" "Erza is my name" "I'm Wendy, and this is Carla" "Hello" Carla added. "and I'm Lucy, though I take you already know me" I said with a smile. She nodded quickly.
A few minutes had passed and everybody had asked a bunch of questions. "So, Ray-san what kind of magic do you use?" Wendy asked politely. "My mag..ic is uhh.. I think its called mani..pulation magic" you can tell she has gotten comfortable with us. "Woah! What kind of magic is that?!" Natsu said very loudly, she was frightened a bit by his outburst, you could see it on her face. "It's like uhh.. I can levitate things with my m..ind, and I can turn the th..ing into anything I want, I..I Believe." She stated. "That will definitely come in handy" Gray added " That sounds like very powerful magic" I commented "I can certainly feel a very strong magical aura coming from you" Erza observed. "Would y..ou like m..me to demonstrate?" she asked "Yes Please!" Natsu and Happy said together. "Ok..ay, umm.. may i?" she asked pointing to Erza's empty plate and fork. Erza nodded. Ray's blind eye suddenly glowed yellow and the plate and fork lifted into the air. With a small flash, the plate transformed into a mini Erza and the fork, a tiny sword. She placed the sword into mini Erza's hand and set her down on the table. I was shocked because she didn't use her hands at all, it was all her levitation magic! "That's very impressive for such a small child." Erza said. Everyone else was speechless, they just stared at the mini Erza until Happy blurted out "Can they move?! Can they? Can they?!" Ray replied with a quick nod. The mini Erza started to swing her sword around and jab things. "I can turn it back to its original fo..rm too." Her blind eye glowed yellow again and the mini Erza was turned back into a plate the same with the sword to a fork, and Ray put it in front of Erza.
"I have a question, about your levitation magic. Can it move people?" Gray inquired. "Yes i..it can but only living beings lighter than the caster. So I can levitate my..myself and like Happy or Carla as w..well, but if it's an inanimate object it can be whate..ever size or weight" she answered. "Can I show them?" a faint voice from inside Ray's blanket said. "No, I told you to stay hidden and keep q..quiet." Ray whispers into her blanket. "What's that?" Erza said demandingly "Show it now" she added. Suddenly an orange cat popped out from the side of Ray's arm and said "Hello there!" It had a high pitched hyper voice. "Woah! You have an exceed too?!" Natsu asked. "Y..Yes. I found her in the forest all alone when I was s..small and we have been traveling together ever since." Says Ray. "I am Tora, and if you please Ray can you demonstrate using me? Pleeeasee" "Fine" Ray says quickly. Suddenly Tora floats into the air without using her wings and does a bunch of swirls and spins, although this is all thanks to Ray.
Suddenly the train stops and it's time to get off, a relief to Natsu, it seems the Troia wore off. I can't wait till we get to the guild, its almost time to hit the hay for me, but first I need a little refreshment. Right when we step off the train Ray whispers something into Tora's ear. Seconds later Tora is asking for assistance from the train guards and Ray is bolting out the station door, away from the train guards vision. I assume Tora was the distraction. Suddenly Tora flies upwards and comes by me. Saying that Ray doesn't have any bags and tells me to meet outside the station, with the rest of the gang. Well although it was an interesting ride back, I am glad we get a new member to our family.
