As she walked through the streets of Magnolia, a light snow began to fall. She rounded corners and walked past people, not sure of where to go. A few hours ago, her friend had advised her to explore the new town and perhaps visit the famous Fairy Tail guild. After all, it was her first time in Magnolia. When the sky began to darken and night began to fall, she knew she should be heading home. Suddenly, someone moved behind her. She paled. Did someone follow her into the alleyway? The person couldn't have seen her. She pressed into the wall as a shirtless guy ran past her down the street. He called out.
"Hey! Juvia! Where are you? It's Gray!"
Who exactly was he?
In the lively, warm Fairy Tail guild hall, as usual, a large fight had started up. Chairs and people flying around were perfectly normal at this time of day- no, any time of day. Natsu unexpectedly dropped out of his daily argument with Gray when his ears picked up a piece of conversation.
"Did you hear about the new guild here in Magnolia?"
"Oh, you mean the one called Doven Crest?"
"I heard that their master is a complete mystery. She hasn't revealed her face to the public yet."
Hmmmmmmmmm… thought Natsu. I bet there's a ton of strong guys there. I can't wait to battle them!
Gray got up and left the guild hall. "I'm going looking for Juvia. She hasn't been here for a while."
Happy flew up to Gray. "Somebody's in LOOOO-"
Gray punched Happy into a table. "Shut it, cat."
Natsu decided to check out this new guild tomorrow. As for now… "HAPPY!"
Happy got up from the table. "Aye sir!" he chirped.
"It's getting late. Let's fly to Lucy's house!"
We climbed in through the window of Lucy's apartment. After tumbling onto the floor, we saw Lucy glaring at us.
"Uh...hi!" I squeaked.
"Out. Of. My. ROOM!" she screamed and Happy and I were kicked out of the window and onto the the street below.
"Great," muttered Happy. "All I wanted was a fish. Not a kick."
Natsu shrugged. He started out for home. It felt very peaceful as he and Happy began walking through the lamp-lit snowy streets. Little did he know, someone out there was having a more than happy reunion. Was it just him, or did the air suddenly get colder than it already was?
