After the Grand Magic Games many young mages set out to join Fairy Tail - the strongest wizard guild around. It was a sunny Tuesday morning and the Fairy Tail guild wizards were waiting for a special announcement from their Master, Makarov.

"Congratulations on restoring our good name in the Grand Magic Games my children! We finally have our guild hall back and the room to expand our nakama once again," Makarov began as he gestured to the long line of up and coming wizards outside the guild doors. "To find those worthy of calling themselves our namaka I thought we would have a little fun. I have composed ten teams, three of which will be working on their own, and each team will be selecting a contestant from the congregation outside and testing them on training and compatibility! That means we will have 10 contestants vying for one of the two available spots as a working Fairy Tail wizard! Whichever team has a successful candidate will win 100,000 Jewel." Makarov paused as he relished in the uproar among his children. It was good to see their spirits in such high order. "Begin!"

The guild members rushed to the table Makarov stood on to check their team members:

Team 1

Mirajane

Team 2

Erza

Team 3

Natsu, Happy, and Lucy

Team 4

Jet and Droy

Team 5

Juvia and Gray

Team 6

Laxus

Team 7

Macao, Romeo, and Wakaba

Team 8

Levy and Gajeel

Team 9

Evergreen and Elfman

Team 10

Cana, Wendy, and Carla

"Aw ya! Me and you Luce! I'm all fired up - we're gonna win this thing!" Natsu yelled as he grabbed his team member and shouldered Gray out of their way as they headed out to pick their contestant.

"J-Juvia and Gray-sama?" Juvia exclaimed excitedly. "I knew our love was destined!" She squealed as Gray grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the guild hall as well. "No way is flame for brains beating us." The ice mage muttered.

"A true champion takes their time in selecting a qualified contestant." Erza claimed as she stalked out towards the unsuspecting crowd.

Mirajane laughed as she ushered all the remaining teams out of the guild with her. "If we leave Natsu out there for too long there won't be any contestants left for us to choose. Good luck everyone!"

The guild doors opened and a hectic scene greeted the member's eyes causing many to immediately sweat drop. Several people lay smoking on the ground and Natsu was rushing from person to person telling them to fight him and prove their worth. Many hopeful young wizards had already began to disperse hoping to try their luck with a different guild.

"Okay! Which of you is the manliest?!" Elfman shouted as he went to join the fray.

Laxus chuckled at the idiocy of his guild mates and punched Natsu as he flew past him successfully causing an end to the ruckus as the pink haired boy landed in the dirt unconscious. The remaining new wizards looked at him thankfully and a sense of order was slowly returned to the contest as many teams made their selections.

Mirajane was the first to choose a contestant a young girl around the age of 12 with light blonde hair and fuzzy cat ears. "So cute!" She cried. "Just like Lisanna! Come inside and we will get to know each other."

Macao, Romeo, and Wakaba settled on a boy around Romeo's age who seemed to have become fast friends.

"Fight me fair Laxus!" Natsu yelled as he came to.

"Buzz off kid." Laxus uttered as he dodged Natsu's flaming fist and picked him up by his vest.

"Hey! Put me down! I swear I'll kick your ass!"

As the two quibbled the contestants were nearly all selected. Only one hopeful mage remained and Lucy quickly pointed this out to Natsu who all but carried the last contestant inside.

Laxus sighed. He could really use an easy 100,000 Jewel. Scanning the now empty courtyard and laughing at all the damage Natsu had caused he noticed a small girl watching him from behind a lamp post. He ambled towards her his massive body casting a dark shadow and enveloping her in it.

"You a wizard?" Laxus asked.

"Hai. I was here to join your guild but one of your members must have knocked me unconscious when he hit me over here." The girl replied softly. Her heavy green cloak and hood shifted to reveal big blue eyes and smooth pale skin.

Laxus turned and walked back to the guild as the girl stood unsure of what to do. She has traveled all this way to join her favourite guild and hadn't even made the cut. Perhaps he thought her too weak.

"You coming?" She heard him say and her heart fluttered as she quickly scampered up to follow him into her new home.

"Hai." She yelled as a smile spread across her face. "I'm Meg."

Laxus grunted in acknowledgement.

"Can you fight?"

"A little. I came to learn more." She answered softly.

A heavy sigh was his only response. This better not turn into actual work he thought.

A/N: Tada! There is the first installment/introduction! This particular story is going to follow Meg's journey to become a Fairy Tail wizard and there will be some Laxus/OC(Meg) romance. There will be many OC's in this story at the start but many will quickly be weeded out so don't get overwhelmed. I'm contemplating pairing up another OC with a member as there are two spots in Fairy Tail but I'm not sure who. Your input is more than welcome! :) Thanks for reading. - LC
