"Sometimes Mira, that smile you're giving gives me the absolute creeps," said Cana after receiving the barrel of booze she requested.

Mira hadn't noticed she was smiling and she quickly blushed.

"Sorry. It's just that. Look at them. All in the right places. It makes me happy."

Cana scanned the guild from left to right to see what Mira was talking about. Everything was normal in her opinion. The guild was a classic chaos. Natsu and Gray were at each other's throat again. Lucy was holding Natsu off by pulling him by his waist failing miserably while he roars on getting fired up. Juvia was mimicking the gesture but hers was more of a back hug and Cana could swear there are floating hearts everywhere emanating around her skin. Gray was answering every word Natsu says while unsuccessfully trying to remove Juvia from his back. Somewhere near the vicinity, dangerously near, Erza was offering to feed Jellal with a spoon of strawberry cake causing the latter to blush heavily trying to refuse probably out of embarrassment. Erza managed to drag him into the guild when she saw him around the area a while ago urging him to relax a little. On the side, Levy was reading a couple of books on the long table, with Gajeel across him who looked like he was engrossed in a book when he was just using it to cover his face while napping. On the side near the bar, Ever was bickering with Elfman over useless things. They just seem to love arguing. Everything else was the same as always.

"What? Looks pretty normal to me," Cana said resuming drinking and she choked. "Couples!"

Mira was smiling even more now. "Right?"

"They are everywhere! You!"

"What did I do?" Mira feigned ignorance as she placed the dishes she wiped on top of each other.

"You did this! You always pair them up in missions, you give weird advises to Juvia, you asked your brother to serve the drinks to the Raijinshuu," And then she realized something. "You knew! You knew Jellal was there when you asked Erza that favor. You… you gave Levy that book!"

"Beauty and the Beast is a good book."

"You're wicked!"

"My Cana, whatever are you talking about." But Mira never ceased to smile.

"Creepy." Cana could never understand Mira's obsession with pairing everybody up. "Well, why don't you hook me up with a boyfriend? You seem to have the knack for it." And then she noticed a sly change in the take-over mage's eyes. "You didn't? Who the hell is it?"

"I'm not sure yet. This may take some time. Now that Gildarts knows you're his daughter, I have to pull some strings. He may be drinking with him as of this moment."

"I don't think I want to know what you're up to. Get the hell out of my love life or the nonexistence of it. Or just spare me!"

Mira just giggled. She knows she's doing her a favor and Cana needs someone who could measure up to her drinking obsession, someone who could win on her drinking bets. Mira's going to have a hard time with this new project of hers and she's not even sure if it will work but everything's worth a try. And she does think despite their age difference, they have the same maturity level. They should be a perfect match.

"While we're at this, I wonder who our matchmaker likes" Cana gave her a mischievous look. Mira started to blush. It's not like she's very sure about how she feels yet but she does a lot of thinking these days and she narrowed her list to just one person. It surprised her really how he seemed to be so perfect all of a sudden when she never really thought about it until the number of couple in their guild piled up. And maybe it was the old rivalry she had with Erza but she was a little challenged when she heard about Erza and Jella's little encounter at the beach as narrated by Happy. Though she's probably their number one fan now, she's never going to let go of the little surge of jealousy she felt when Erza has found her mate. And Mira picked a really hard-to-get choice for a partner, one who never seems to get affected by her charms that she's not even sure she sees her as a woman.

"You seem to be taking my question rather seriously. Is our matchmaker smitten?"

"Cana! No. Well. I'm doing the matchmaking here so don't even think about stripping me off my job."

"I come in here after a painful job and I hear the word 'stripping'. I must be lucky. What's this about?" Laxus just came back from an S-class job that took him a month. But judging from the looks of him who came out with only a few scratches, he handled that well.

"Oh, Laxus. You're back," was all Mira could say.

"Yes, and give me the usual."

"Laxus sama!" came the loud call of the self-proclaimed leader of the Thunder God Tribe who swore loyalty over Laxus. He came running into their direction, along with the other two members who came well-informed about his arrival because of that shout and they were all over him in an instant. At some point in his life, he has gotten used to them clinging to him so he gives no damn about it.

"Wow Laxus. Despite being the total ass, you managed to scoop a bunch of loyal minions." Cana was met with Ever's deadly glare which thankfully was inactive or she would have turned to stone already. Bickslow was just plain amused while Freed has released an ominous aura. "I'll have your throat cut out for mouthing such insolence to Laxus-sama!" while he unsheathe his sword. Mira came and tapped Freed's shoulder while she served the drinks to every one of them.

"Now now. Calm down. We already have enough damage for one day," she said as she pointed to the big hole in the wall as Erza went berserk and threw the Ice and Fire Mage out when Natsu's slipper accidentally ruined her cake.

"Listen well Freed. It won't do us any good if you wake the demon. Two berserk S-class chicks on the loose will be this guild's downfall."

"Why thank you for understanding Laxus."

Laxus just smirked. Freed calmed down. "I shall do as Laxus-sama orders but I will not have you badmouthing him again."

Ever continued to glare at Cana but is soon distracted by Bickslow who gave her a drink.

"Yea. Yea. Geez." While adding 'over protective rugrats!" in a whisper before she drank. And then Cana noticed something. Mira was… Is she? She looked closely. She is! The demon mage is blushing, ever so slightly, but she is. Someone near is making her. She looked around and caught Laxus staring at Mira. If she wasn't paying any attention she might not have noticed it.

"Ow. I am so going to enjoy this." Cana was having all kinds of thoughts. She was bored lately and a little matchmaking for their very own matchmaker seems like a cool pastime.


Author's Notes: So I have been thinking about this plot lately. And I got excited, I started writing it. I'm going to update as soon as I can. This is just a little intro.
