~Makarvo's Office, 10:37 am~
Makarvo stared outside the window. The formerly sunny sky was filling up fast with angry, gray clouds. Yes, he thought, yes. It had to be done, there was no getting around it. Makarvo smiled grimly and slowly stood up from the rickety old chair he was sitting in. He crossed the room, opened the door, and entered the main hall of the Fairy Tail Guild. Almost the entire guild was there, laughing and drinking, but thankfully no one noticed him. Makarvo strode swiftly to the bar where Mirajane was serving cleared his throat. "Mira," he said, half whispering. She didn't answer. "Mira!" he said louder. She still didn't respond and continued to cheerfully take orders. "MIRA!" He raised his voice even more. Mirajane STILL didn't give him any attention. Makarvo was getting angry, he had things to do! "MIRAJANE!" he yelled. No answer. "MIRAJANE STRAUSS WILL YOU LISTEN FOR ONE BLASTED MINUTE!" Makarvo screamed at the top of his lungs. Mirajane and the whole guild finally noticed him. Mira turned a bright shade of pink.
"Uh-um yes Master- couldn't see- over the counter- m-m-my apologies." she stuttered, deeply embarrassed. "D-Do you want a d-drink?"she asked.
"ARE YA CALLIN' ME SHORT?!" he seethed.
"NO! No! Of course not!" Mira said quickly.
"Well whatever. I need to talk to you." Makarvo turned to the crowd that was watching them intently. "ALONE!" And with that he grabbed Mira's wrist and dragged her into the back room behind the bar.
After they had left, conversations in the room resumed. Grey and Natsu sat at the bar.
"I wonder what all that was about," Grey said after taking a swig of his drink.
"Pretty obvious to me," Natsu responded confidently.
"Really? You know?" Grey questioned him, legitimately interested.
"Gramps is finally going to make me a S Class Wizard! GAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA!" Natsu laughed maniacally.
"He really has no idea after all.." Grey muttered, rolling his eyes.
"What was that, Ice Princess?" Natsu narrowed his eyes and stood up.
"None of your business, Flame Brain!" Grey said, standing up as well.
"You wanna go?!" Natsu moved into a fighting stance.
"Do YOU wanna go?!" Grey replied. They circled, waiting for the other to make a move. "ICE PRINCESS" "FLAME BRAIN" "ICE PRINCESS" "FLAME BRAIN" "ICE PRINCESS" "FLAME BRAIN"
Suddenly, Natsu gave a gigantic Fire Dragon's Roar and the battle began. Before the long, everyone in the guild got involved and the typical Fairy Tail chaos ensued.

~Back Guild Room~
"So Master.. what did you want to speak to me about?" Mirajane asked nervously.
"One second Mira, this is EXTREMELY important so I have to make sure no one is eavesdropping," Makarvo walked around the room, closing and locking all the windows and doors. Mirajane took one of the chairs that were littered around the room and sat down. She bit her lip nervously, the master was actually being serious for once. Something must be wrong. Makarvo finished and stood in front of her.
"Chair..?" Mira offered weakly.
"No!" he proclaimed, "I must stand for this." Mirajane had the feeling he just wanted to be taller than her, but she kept her mouth shut. "As you know, Fairy Tail was created in x686 by Mavis Vermillion, Precht, Warrod Sequen and Yuri Dreyar with the promise of eternal adventure," Makarvo began. Mira wondered where the heck this was going. "And since then, it has been in all aspects just that. An eternal adventure. We have risen to every challenge and have become something that our founders would never have seen coming," he continued. Mira was getting a little bit bored with this speech but still stayed silent. "But lately... How do I put it? Our guild has been a bit... Well dull. And I think there is only one solution." The Master paused for dramatic effect. Mirajane gasped.
"Master! You can't be implying that we disband the guild! Are you?!" Mirajane spoke in a distressed tone.
"No! Not at all!" the Master shook his head. "What I'm trying to say is I think we need some... New blood." Mirajane raised her eyebrows.
"New... Blood?" she repeated, puzzled.
"Yes, new blood," he said firmly. They stared at each other as Mira tried to figure out what he was trying to say. After what seemed like eternity, she began to laugh.
It started out with just a snort, then a chuckle, then a giggle and before she realized what was happening she was laying on the floor, crying from too much laughter and clutching her stomach. Throughout all of this Makarvo stood still as a statue, his face getting redder and redder.
Finally he burst out, "ENOUGH! This is no laughing matter!" The white haired mage finally calmed down slightly.
"You *wheeze* want *wheeze* grandkids!" Mira forced out, still lying on the floor.
"It's for the good of the guild," the Master peered sideways guiltily, "Besides, I'm not getting any younger," he mumbled.
"Oh Master," Mira stood up and brushed her dress, "You never cease to surprise me."
"Well I AM full of surprises," Makarvo responded, looking a little too pleased with himself. "Anyway, so I was thinking-"
"Master, I've completely got this covered. Don't you worry, by the end of next year you'll have ten new grandchildren. Leave it to me!" Mira sang as she left the room, slamming the door behind her.
Makarvo stood in the same spot for a very long time, thinking over what she had said. 10 new grandkids? How was that even possible in one year? Had she really even understood what he had meant at all? Yes, she must have. He smiled. Laxus couldn't say no to kids anymore if Mirajane was so excited.

~Fairy Tail Main Hall~
Mira hummed a little tune while she scrubbed the bar counter, thinking of all the possibilities. She just couldn't believe that MASTER of all people wanted her to play Matchmaker! She let out a content sigh. Just THINKING about helping all her guildmates settle down and have children made her want to jump for joy! Kinana came over and placed a tray full of drinks beside her.
"Earth to Miss Lovestruck! You haven't blinked in 5 minutes," Kinana shook her. "Thinkin' about Mr Hunk Laxus again?" she added mischievously.
Mirajane groaned. "How many times do I have to tell you? Laxus and I AREN'T A THING!"
"Tell that to the Master," Kinana grinned, "Also, take these drinks to Cana's table."
"He already knows!" Mira flipped her hair and picked up the tray.

~Mirajane's Apartment, Fairy Hills~
Mirajane fell face first onto the pink floral blanket of her bed and desperately tried to keep her eyes open. It had been a loooong day, much longer than she had predicted. After the meeting with the Master, she had been running around and around like a headless chicken trying to get orders, serve food and drinks, check up on tables, and collect money. Mira smiled. Working at the FairyTail Guild was an exhausting mess, but she loved every minute of it.
The white-haired mage heard the front door open. Immediately she took the nearest object, which happened to be a forgotten umbrella beside her, and hid in the bathroom connected to her bedroom. Adrenaline filled her veins as she struggled to breathe quietly.
"Mira-nee? Are you home?" said a sweet voice sounded throughout the two bedroom apartment. Mirajane exhaled. It was just Lisanna.
"Yeah Annie, I'll be there in a minute!" she shouted. Mira quickly threw the umbrella back on the bed and walked the kitchen.
"I hope I didn't wake you, it's pretty late," Lisanna said while putting her jacket on the coat rack. Mirajane peeked at the clock and almost had a heart attack. 1:16 am! She must have shut her eyes for a lot longer then she realized. And she couldn't believe that she FORGOT that Lisanna was coming home today.
"No- I - uh I was up. Anyway.. are you hungry? You probably didn't get very good food on your mission with Bixlow and I haven't eaten yet. I think there's some spaghetti in the pantry I could make," Mirajane offered. Lisanna smiled and nodded. They chatted easily while Mira boiled the pasta and Lisanna set their small, 2 person table.
"So, did anything important happen while I was gone?" Lisanna asked after they sat down to eat.
"What? No, no, not at all. People were just being um, you know, stupid and stuff, nothing IMPORTANT happened at all or anything," Mira rambled, trying her best to be nonchalant. Lisanna looked unconvinced.
"Mira-nee, I AM your sister so I know when you're being a liar," she responded.
"Annie I PROMISE nothing happened!" Mira said too fast. Lisanna huffed.
"Fine, when you are ready to tell me, I'll listen." They stayed in uneasy silence for a while.
"How did the job go? In fact, weren't you supposed to come... tomorrow?" Mirajane broke the silence with her revelation. THAT'S why she was so unprepared, Lisanna was supposed to come to tomorrow! Suddenly it was LISANNA who looked uncomfortable.
"Yeah well uh it was an easy job so we got home uh early... I was kinda planning to spend the night at Bixlow's place and just wanted to drop by for some um well... clothes," Lisanna finished awkwardly. Mirajane was confused. ❗what kind of clothes would she need in the middle of the night? She brought pajamas on the trip... Suddenly Mira's widened with enlightenment.
"BIXLOW HAS BEEN WAITING FOR YOU THIS ENTIRE TIME?!" Mirajane screamed.
"Uh well.. yeah" Lisanna said lamely.
"WELL GO TO HIM OH MY MAVIS!"
Lisanna bowed her head, rushed out of the kitchen into her bedroom, and came back out with a couple of silky things in her hand. Mirajane helped her put her coat on while muttering curses. She was out the door in less than a minute. Mira almost shouted DON'T FORGET PROTECTION but thankfully remembered that the Master actually WANTED grandchildren. She slumped on the door. Honestly, that girl.
Suddenly a humongous wave of tiredness swept over Mira. Time for bed she decided,the dishes could wait until tomorrow.
