Chapter 41
The Past
The scene opens up, Noah and Tai are packing their bags for the beach.
"We finally get a break from the fighting, bro." Tai said.
"Yeah it's about time we took a break." Noah said in agreement.
Tai stood up, and made his way to the door.
"I'll be back, I need to check on something." Tai said.
"Alright." Noah said while putting more clothes in the bag, Noah stood and looked around, he noticed a picture hanging out of a scrapbook.
"Hm? What's that?" He asked as he walked over and slid it out. He looked at it for a second, it was a picture of him and Tai back when they were kids.
"Heh.. We've had rough times together back in the day.. But we always stuck with each other.." Noah said.
He began to think of when they first met, the scene switched to a little boy walking through the woods.
"Hehe, it's so fun here!" The boy said. It was Noah when he 5. All of a sudden, Noah notices a kid sitting on a tree stump. Noah walked up.
"Hai. What are you doing out here?" Noah asked innocently.
"I'm lost, I can't find my dad." The boy said. The boy was Tai when we has 5 also.
"You can't find your daddy? We can look for him." Noah said.
"Really? Okay!" Tai replied.
It began showing Noah and Tai waking everywhere, looking for Tai's dad.
"We spent that while summer looking for his dad, no luck. Eventually my parents let him live with us, that's when we became brothers." Noah said.
The scene switched to a school hallway, Noah and Tai were 10.
"Hey! Leave him alone!" Tai yelled at a student.
"What are you gonna do about it punk?!" The kid said.
"Don't touch my brother like that!" Noah yelled as he ran and pushed the kid away.
The kid eventually left them alone, the scene began showing the school life through the years.
"We used to get bullied a lot because we weren't blood brothers. But it didn't matter, we always treated each other like we were." Noah said.
The scene switched 6 years later, Noah and Tai were in their room talking about a homework assignment they got.
"Ugh, how are we supposed to know all the types of magic?" Noah asked with frustration.
"I don't know, it's an annoying question tho." Tai said. All of a sudden, a loud boom is heard downstairs, Noah and Tai run down to check on their parents, only to see their mom laying on the table, dead. A huge whole was in the wall like someone had broke in as their father came from the kitchen, beaten up.
"Go.. Both of you go!" The dad said.
The scene showed them running, then eventually showed them traveling around.
"We spend three months looking for a place to go.. Our parents were murdered by robbers.. Then we found Fairy Tail.." Noah said.
The scene showed Noah and Tai outside of Fairy Tail with Natsu.
"So, you like the guild?" Natsu asked.
"Yes, it's very nice." Noah said.
"Agreed." Tai said.
The scene then went back to Noah looking at the picture.
"Heh.. I should stop reminiscing." Noah said to himself.
"Hey, get ready, bro! We're about to leave!" Tai yelled from the other room.
"Yeah! Hurry, Noah!" Mariah yelled with a giggle.
"Coming!" Noah yelled as he ran to his bag and grabbed it. The scene did a close up of the picture and then faded black.
