Gajeel was having a shitty day. He found out that he was hired 3 hours away from where he lived. But the money was good. But he's going to have to leave his cat. Which one should he choose?
Money ~

"Gihi! I'll use the money for my cat. I'm genius." Gajeel chuckled to himself. "Bye Pantherlily. I gotta go to the other side of Fiore for some damn job. Just chill here and be a good cat, okay?"
"Mew."
"Good cat. Such a good cat, I'll leave my guitar here in memory of me." Gajeel responded as he laid down his electric guitar in front of Pantherlily. "Enjoy. Off I go!" Gajeel lugged his suitcases off into the back of his truck.
"Sha doo bop~!" Gajeel hummed as he loaded his suitcases and checked out his Lacrima phone. "'kay... Apparently I'm demolishing a 130 year old tree that's messing with the pipes. Easy as cake." Gajeel opened his door into the truck. "I gotta call the boys."
The spiky haired dude called his coworkers. "Yeah, we got hired in Magnolia to cut down this big-ass tree." Gajeel frowned after the recipient talked back. "I know. That's where Juvia works now. I oughta drop by there, just to say hi." More talking ensued. "Gihihihi. Of course. Bye Martis."

Gajeel was humming to himself as he checked the rearview mirror on his truck while driving. Gajeel swiveled left, and all the parts jumbled in the back of his truck. "Sha doo bop~! La la ooh~!" Then Gajeel went passed a sign that said:
Welcome to Magnolia
Event: Fall Festival - Next Week!
The cutter snorted. "I don't give a shit about some Fall Festival. I have a job to do." Gajeel then parked in front of the city hall and saw some petite blue-haired girl - who looked like a shrimp - who was mourning over... something! Gajeel opened the door to his truck and stepped out.
The group of girls were talking on a picnic table, while comforting the Shrimp. Petite blue-haired girl was talking to some blondie who resembled a bunny and a drinker. Judging by the sake in her hand. "Levy, I have an idea... how about we rant to the mayor, later on?" The blondie suggested.
Levy, assumably the flat-chested petite, moaned. "Thanks Lu-chan!" Then the she ripped a poster in half, then that half in half, then that half in half, you get the point. "I want another talk with the mayor!" The brunette drinker took out her handbag.
"I got some emergency wine in there. Want some?"
Lu-chan, or whatever Levy called her, sweat-dropped. "How do you have that in there?" The brunette shrugged.
"Emergency is an emergency." Levy refused the drink.
Levy said with nostalgia in her veins. "Erm, no thanks, Cana. Remember yesterday, when I got drunk?" Bunny girl - the blonde - and "Cana" looked up, as if remembering something.
"Yeah, Levy-chan. Don't drink anymore."
"It's an emergency. Don't let the past let you down. Want some instead, Lucy?."
"Cana, that's not the point."
Bunny girl nudged Shrimp. "Look at that truck. Redfox Removals." Gajeel puffed out his chest. They were admiring his truck! "The demolishers are here, and their truck is fucking ugly!" Oh, Gajeel's pride deflated.
The brunette drinker clucked her tongue. "Language, Levy. Wouldn't want Mrs. Spetto washing your mouth out with soap, do ya?" Gajeel frowned. They seemed to know a lot of people here, perhaps he should ask them about the "Big Oak" he's cutting down.
"Oi, Shrimp, Bunny girl, Brunette drinker! Is the mayor home?" Gajeel approached them, and giggled. "Gihihihi!" The girls looked confused.
Bunny girl motioned to the three of them. "Are you talking to us? Because the last time, I remember that our names are, Lucy, Levy, and Cana." Levy fumed at him, still remembering the logo on his truck.
"Are you by any chance... the landscaper?" Cana choked on her drink and Lucy nearly fell over. Gajeel shrugged.
"No, I'm the local stripper."
"Isn't that Gray, though?" Who is that? Gajeel thought, Cana retorted while having another swig. "You would make a hot stripper, though too."
"I WAS BEING SARCASTIC, WOMAN! Of course I'm the dude cutting down the tree."
Growling, Levy was tempted to punch him. Then Lucy butted in. "You must be, uh, new, then. Welcome to Magnolia!" She said this with fake cheerfulness. "We're a small town, and our most famous park is, Fairy Tail park, where the our resident Magnolia Big Oak Tree is. And will remain."
Gajeel snorted. "In you dreams, Bunny girl. I want to see the mayor. Shrimp-" Gajeel pointed to Levy, as Levy pointed to herself, questionably. "Lead me to him." Cana nudged Levy, as if suggesting some kinky romance.
"Not even in your dreams, Cana." Levy said, with her chin held up high. "Come along, Gajeel. And I am not a Shrimp!"
Gajeel scoffed. "You're as small as one. Lead the way Shrimp."
"Hey!"
"I am not a 'Bunny girl'!"
"And I am not a 'Brunette drinker'!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Screw that. I am a brunette drinker."

"Hey, Mira!" Levy waved to Mira. Hopefully she didn't notice any romance, because the last time Mira tried hooking up Levy, Droy and Jet were crying a river. "The despicable person that wants to cut down MAGNOLIA'S BIG OAK TREE!" At this point, Levy was yelling in Gajeel's face.
"My name is not 'the despicable person' I'm Gajeel. So calm your knickers, Shrimp. Yo, demon!" Gajeel just called Mira a demon. Her, a demon. How did he know? Just by her looks? She looks like an angel! Mira had a tight smile on. "Is the mayor here around? His name is... Laxatives? Lanius?"
The white-head offered sweetly, "It's Laxus." Then Mira took a deep breath. "We haven't met properly, have we? I'm MiraJane Strauss-" Gajeel cut her off by waving his hand in her face.
"There's no need, woman. I've seen you pose naked for Sorcerer Weekly. I'm surprised that you haven't gotten screwed yet. Now, my name is Gajeel. And I would like to see the mayor." The spiky haired male growled in annoyance.
"O-Of course, Mr. Redfox. I'll call up Laxus right away." Mira said, and she picked up the phone. "Laxus. Your renovator is here. And he has quite a bit of an attitude."
Bzzt. "Bring him in. I like attitude." Bzzt.
Levy, with her hands out to the grand wood doors said, "This way, Gajeel." Then Gajeel just stood there.
"Shrimps first."
"I'm not a shrimp!" But nevertheless, Levy went in anyways.
As Gajeel and Levy went inside the mayor's office, Mira just had to sigh. "How are they going to enjoy their honeymoon, when they're bickering like crazy?"

"Mayor Laxus, this is Gajeel. He's going to be the person..." Levy faltered. She didn't want to bring herself to say it. The tree had sentimental value to her. Whatever's going to happen, Levy's going to hate Gajeel's guts. Tremendously.
"He's the guy wanting to cut down our tree."
Laxus chuckled and shook Gajeel's hand. As this went on, Levy took a moment to study Gajeel's appearance. Gajeel had a tight black shirt on, that read, "Redfox Removals!" and he wore dirty jeans and work boots. Looks like he's from a farm, Levy thought dryly.
"I'm Laxus, nice to meet ya."
Gajeel, compared to Laxus, was about his height. They were both fucking gigantic. While Levy, was still waiting for her growth spurt. "Gihi. Can't wait to do this job, I'm Gajeel Redfox. My boys are coming to town soon. When will I be cutting down the tree?"
Levy protested. "Never! The tree stays. That's final." Laxus shot Levy a death glare, which made her shrink even more than her height. Which was really small.
"Now you look like a shrimp, Shrimp."
"Hey!"
Laxus shushed the both of them. "Time to discuss important matters. Like cutting down Magnolia's Big Oak Tree! Gajeel, would you sign here?" The mayor lifted a piece of paper, supposedly a contract about the money and the date of the demolish. Levy really couldn't see.
"Mayor Laxus-"
"This will ensure that the tree will fall directly in in its exact spot."
"But-"
"And about 717,273 is what you're going to get."
"Hello-"
"Levy, will lead you around the place, won't ya, Levy?"
The said girl, shrunken with disappointment, not being able to object, depressedly said, "Yes..." Then Laxus patted her head and shooed the two of them away.
As Gajeel and Levy closed the doors of the city hall, Levy then asked, "What do you want to do know?"
