The storm wouldn't have been so bad if it hadn't kept resisting me. Which meant it took forever to get the rain to stop. Okay, so maybe it was just an hour but it sure felt like forever. After it finally stopped, I planned on going home and then dramatically fall onto my bed before going to sleep.

I did not plan on walking into the Howling Sun guild to find Laxus Dreyar sitting with my guildmates and drinking hot chocolate.

"Hey, guys! Sorry I got here late. Why is Laxus Dreyar in my chair?"

"Page! Don't be rude!" Lynn scolded. I rolled my eyes and plopped down onto the floor. I laid down on my stomach and held my head up on my arms. The rug was a little scratchy, but it had an image of a Chinese dragon sewn into it- so I liked it. Dragons were awesome, after all. "He had to get out of the storm. Speaking of which, how'd that go?"

"Fine. It shouldn't rain for a few weeks," I replied as I looked up at Laxus who was giving me a 'are you serious right now?' look. "What?"

"How the hell are you a dragonslayer?"

"Same as Natsu, Gajeel, Wendy, Sting, Rogue-" I cut myself off when Laxus glared at me. "You're the one who asked. So how's the Thunder Legion doing?"

"Forgive her, please. She's a big fan of Fairy Tail and learned everything she could about you guys. That and the fact that she has no social skills or filters doesn't help," Charlie stated. I stuck my tongue out at her before returning my attention to the blonde mage. I noticed he wasn't glaring anymore, though he still looked pretty serious. I had read about him and the other mages in Fairy Tail, seen photos and watched the Grand Magic Games. But I had never seen any of them up close.

His scar really did look like lightning. I thought it was pretty cool. Way better than my scar. 'No. Focus, Page.' I decided to start talking again to keep the memories from flooding my mind. Again.

"Sad but true. Since the storm is over, shouldn't you go home before you worry your friends?" I asked. I was trying to be polite but I was tired to the bone and just wanted some sleep.

"Page, chill," Elisa commented. I smiled at the irony as Elisa realized what she just said. "We get it, an ice mage telling you to chill is hilarious. No jokes!"

"I wasn't going to say anything!"

"Enough! Mr. Dreyar, it was a pleasure meeting you but Page is clearly exhausted from her mission and we have to start closing up the shop." I could tell by Lynn's tone and her slouch that she was probably as sleepy as I was but wanted to be nice about it.

Laxus stood up and shook hands with Lynn, Charlie, and Elisa. He looked down at me and shook his head before heading for the door. I scrambled up onto my feet and ran to open the door for him. "It was great meeting you!"

Laxus opened his mouth but seemed to reconsider whatever he was going to say. "I have some pals who might be interested in meeting you. Think you could pretend to be a normal human long enough to talk to them, Shortie?"

I huffed but nodded my head. He rolled his eyes as he walked out. "Later, Blondie!" I saw him stop for a moment before he continued walking.

I yawned and turned around to go upstairs to my room, which was on the third floor. Charlie and Elisa's were on the second floor, and Lynn and Rose's were next to the kitchen and laundry room on the floor I was currently on.

"You're so mean," Rose muttered as she curled up on the recently-vacated chair. I stormed over to the chair and shoved her off so I could sit down. Lynn picked up the exceed and cradled her like a baby.

"I'm hitting the hay. 'Night guys." Charlie made her way toward the staircase, followed by Elisa. That left Rose, who had already fallen asleep, Lynn and I to ourselves.

"How'd it go?" Lynn was the only one who ever really listened to me when I talked about my mission even though my stories were pretty short. I wasn't good with details.

"The storm didn't want to end. I had to use that new spell of mine- yes, the work in progress one. It had a few side effects, and that's why I took so long. The rain turned into ash, so I had to clean that up. The clouds started to change color which was really weird."

"Change colors? How did that happen?" I shrugged at Lynn's question. It was probably just another fluke. I'd work out the kinks later. "Anything else?"

"Not really. I'm kind of tired though. I'll see you in the morning," I got up and started to walk up the stairs. As I got to the third floor, I heard Lynn whisper something. Luckily for me, and unfortunately for them, my guildmates always forgot about my dragon-like hearing.

"I don't even want to think about the mess you're gonna cause when you meet the other dragonslayers."

Like she was gonna be any better when she met Lucy. I wasn't the only one who knew a little too much about Fairy Tail and their mages.

AN: Now you guys know Page! The plot will start moving a little faster after this chapter.

Kitkat Out!
