Minerva was in her room. She had just finished a job and her father was a guild master meeting which meant not so much stress on her part. She was kind of glad that her father wasn't there because he would have scolded her for taking to long on an easy mission. Minerva wasn't fully sure why but how come her father was never proud of her. True she was the strongest wizard after him in Sabertooth and that picked up after him but how come her father never showed how proud he was of her. She assumed it was just a dream she could hold on to since she was already sure that it would never come true.

After she left her room she went to the guild hall and the first people she saw were the Twin dragon slayers Sting and Rogue, along with their Exceeds. The three of them were on the same team but they weren't close like the members of Fairy Tail were. They didn't have bonds of any sort in the guild.

She didn't stop to talk them or anyone that was there she just left to go outside. She didn't feel like seeing anyone at the moment.

Back at the guild Lector and Frocsh had seen Minerva leave and Lector frown.

"I wonder what is up with the Lady?"

"Fro agrees."

Sting smirked at his cat friend.

"Why don't you go ask her?"

Lector looked at him.

"Will you come with me?"

"You're the one brought it up."

Frocsh didn't waste time and went after Minerva. Lector ran after him to go with him. They both ran fast and kind of far. When they reached the forest that was next to the guild. Soon after a while Frocsh spotted Minerva sitting on a stone with her back to them they went to her.

They both quietly went up to Minerva who still had her back turned to them but froze in their tracks then Minerva spoke.

"What do you two want?"

Lector tensed up while Frocsh came closer to her.

"You look sad, Fro wants to know why the Lady is sad."

Minerva looked at them with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

"Go away, it has nothing to do with you."

"But Fro doesn't like to see you sad."

Minerva just turned her back to them again then Lector shrugged and turned to head back to the guild.

"You tried Frosch, but it's clear that the Lady doesn't want to talk. Come on, let's go head back to the guild."

Frosch lowered his head.

"No, Fro wants to stay with the Lady to cheer her up."

Lector just stared at him then he walked away while mumbling.

"It was nice knowing you, Frosch."

After Lector left Frocsh came closer to Minerva. The next thing Minerva knew was she felt a tiny hand on her lower back then looked to see that it was Frocsh looking up at her.

"What part of 'Go away' did you not understand?"

Frosch just looked up at her.

"I don't want to leave you alone."

Minerva frowned as she turned around to face him.

"Why do you want to know how I feel? Last time I checked, every single one of you in the guild is afraid of me."

Frosch shook his head.

"Fro isn't scared of you, Fro only respects you. "

Minerva just looked at him then Frosch looked at her looking like he was about to cry.

"Fro saw that the Lady was sad lately and Fro doesn't like it. It's not like the Lady to be sad at all."

Minerva looked away trying not to smile but failed.

"Stalking cat..."

Frosch smiled then raised his hands.

"Fro knows what will make the Lady smile again."

Minerva looked at him.

"Really now? What?"

Frosch began to tickle her at her sides causing her to lean back some. They then stopped when they heard thunder over them. Along with the thunder there was also lightning so when they heard it Frosch jumped into Minerva's arms for safety. Minerva looked up at the sky which was filled with dark clouds.

"It would appear that we're going to have a thunderstorm."

She stood up with Frosch in her arms then she noticed that Frosch was getting scared.

"What is it?"

"Fro sees a tornado."

Minerva blinked then looked behind her and saw that a large tornado was coming their way. Without wasting a second Minerva started running as fast as she could with Frosch in her arms.

"Hold on tight."

As she ran she spotted a cave up ahead and ran to it. She ran deep into it then stopped and dropped to her knees. She looked at Frosch then put him down.

"Are you alright, Frosch?"

Frosch nodded then looked at the end of the cave to see that it was blocked. Minerva frowned then closed her eyes.

"We are going to be in here for a while."

She opened her eyes when she felt Frosch snuggle up to her. She could understand that he was scared then she wrapped her arms around him like she had seen Rogue do before. It felt kind of weird but it felt just right.

"Are you okay with this, Frosch?"

Frosch nodded.

"Fro isn't scared as long as Fro isn't alone."

Minerva smiled warmly at him.

"You're not alone, I'm here with you."

They both stayed like that and went to sleep in the cave while the storm raged over them.
