Chapter 2

I couldn't help but wonder. Why was she staring at me like that?

"Sorry that I didn't introduce myself earlier, I'm Mira-Jane. But please call me Mira. What's your name?" I blushed when she asked.

"Lexy…" I said without confidence. She smiled.

"Just as I thought." Huh? I was so confused. What is she talking about?

"Sorry," she laughed out loud.

"You must think I'm a freak or something, every once in a while, I would hear your name get brought up in this guild. We were all wondering who the other celestial wizard was. And with that said, Natsu and the others are on a job looking for you." For me? I blushed.

"Lucy was the one who chose the job. You see over there," she pointed at a board full of papers that were thumbtacked to the wood surface. I nodded.

"That's how they chose their job." I took in everything she had just said.

"So I guess it's a coincidence to be here then while there looking for me?" I laughed at that. Wow what are the chances.

"Yep! This is great though! I am so glad you decided to join our guild. You'll love it here, we're like family." She winked at me and gave me a thumbs up. I looked at my toes shyly.

"I'll let the others know that we found you." She said walking away to a back door that seemed to lead her the other side of the bar. I sat on a stool and placed my elbow on the cold glass counter and put my chin on my knuckles. 'Man, I hope I'm making the right choice about this…' I closed my eyes and thought about everything that just occurred. I opened my eyes to see Mira coming back from around the corner.

"There on our way back to the guild as we speak." She gave me a toothy grin.

"Looks like you'll be meeting them today after all." Levy chuckled. This was great! I get to meet the other celestial wizard. I wonder what she's like and what she looks like and how old she is.

I got up from my seat and paced back and forth. 'What if they don't like me? What if Lucy doesn't like me? What if I don't like it here?' I bit on my finger nail.

"Hey what's the matter?" I looked at Levy to see her eyes slightly slanted in concern. My heart was racing so hard that I thought it was going to run away.

"Y-yeah. Just nervous is all." I said with my cheeks flushing. Levy giggled.

"Don't be nervous! They'll like you. I promise. Trust me, I was the same way when I first came here. Everyone is very nice!" Just the way she said that, took some weight off of my shoulders. When the guild doors opened I stopped pacing and stared at four figures and a flying figure that stood in the distance in the sunlight. Complete silence filled the hall. The only thing I heard was my heart pounding on my rib cage. 'Is it them? Is it Lucy and the others?' I need to stop overthinking things… I looked at my sweaty, trembling hands. 'Why am I so nervous?' My hair abruptly starting flapping away in the wind. A chill went down my spine as soon as the cool air hit surface of my skin causing goosebumps and hair to stand up on my arms. I needed to have the courage and confidence. That's right! I need to face my fears! Even though it was a really stupid one. I inhaled through my nose and balled both of fits. 'Alright now look up.' I looked up to see a beautiful girl with shoulder length blonde hair and on the side was a little section of hair tied in a blue ribbon. She was entering the guild smiling and blushing. I blushed, at her looks and her figure, wishing I had her shape. Following behind her was a blue cat with wings flying above her head smiling and eating fish. Following him, was another gorgeous girl with long red hair. She was wearing sliver plated armor and a mini blue skirt, following behind her was a good looking guy with blue shabby hair. It occurred kind of strange to me when I saw that he wasn't wearing a shirt, exposing his abs and a blue Fairytail symbol that stretched across his right peck. Following far behind the guy with blue hair, was another really good looking guy with pink hair. He was wearing a black vest that exposed his abs as well and I noticed he was wearing something around his neck. To me, it looked like an old scarf of some sort. He was pretty handsome when he gave people around him a smile. When I finally snapped back into reality, I noticed all five of the Fairytail wizards heading my way. I don't think either one noticed that I was standing and staring at them, with that being said, I turned around and sat at the bar on a stool.

Mira inched her face closer to mine.

"Hey, don't be scared. I know it's overwhelming at first but you'll hang in there. I promise." She whispered in my ear. I smiled and nodded my head.

"Hey!" I heard a cute little voice say. I turned my head to see the girl with blonde hair giving me wide smile.

"Hi…" I said shyly. I scratched my cheek and puffed them in embarrassment.

"It's so wonderful to meet you! I really don't get to see much of my kind very often!" She retorted. I picked at me nail.

"Yeah. It seems really great here." I explained. She smiled.

"I'm glad you think that way. Sorry for not introducing myself." She put out a hand.

"I'm Lucy Heartfilia." I looked at her fingers and took her hand to shake it and gave her a cheesy smile.

"I'm Lexy." I said, letting go of her grasp.

"Aye!" I heard a squeaky little voice. I turned my head to see a cute little kitty eating fish and smiling.

"Awww. How cute!" I said laughing nervously. Lucy rolled her eyes and whispered in my ear.

"He's a real pain the ass." I laughed aloud.

"Natsu! Lucy is being mean to me!" The little cat yelled.

"Shut up, cat!" He shook in fear and began to look sad.

"Sorry Lucy…" He said looking down at his fish.

"Welcome to Fairytail." I heard a deep female voice speak almost next to my ear. I snapped my head in the direction of the speaker to see the girl with long red hair smiling at me with her hands on her waist.

"T-thank you! I'm glad I'm here!" I said shakily.

"Happy knock it off!" I looked at Lucy and laughed because Happy was slapping her face with his fish.

"Natsu get your cat!"

"Fine. Why do you have to be so loud?" I saw the pink haired guy walk over to Lucy and put his arm around her shoulders.

"Happy, stop being mean to Lucy." Lucy kicked Natsu in his face, which sent him flying in the air. I laughed.

"LEARN SOME RESPECT!" Lucy yelled. I haven't really smiled since the day my dad died. It's only been 3 years since he's passed away and some days, it feels like yesterday that it happened. It's the first time in a long time that I've felt this way. Everyone makes me so happy. I smiled to myself.

"You okay, Lexy?" I snapped my head up and blushed when I saw Erza asking me politely. I smiled with my teeth.

"Hai!" I said happily. I couldn't help it… I got up quietly from my seat and walked my way over to the big board that was full of jobs. I scanned the individual flyers.

"Hey Lexy! Come over here silly! You need your guild mark!" I turned around and shuffled my feet over to Mira.

"Where do you want it?" she closed her eyes and smiled at me. 'Hmm… that was a good question.'

"Here." I said pointing underneath my right wrist. She giggled and took out a stamp-like object and placed it over my wrist, exactly where I wanted it, and clicked a button at the top.

"There ya go! Your officially one of us! Awe look," she said pointing at my wrist and blushing.

"You have the same color guild mark as Natsu!" I blushed widely.

"Hey, Mira, what kind of job can I get?" I asked her. I really needed the money to pay for my apartment.

"I held this one just for you!" She grabbed out a flyer that said "CELESTIAL WIZARD NEEDED. REWARD: 200,000 YEN." I shook in excitement!

"Thank you so much!" I ran over to Lucy, waving the flyer in the air.

"Hey Lucy! I have a job for us! We can split the money!" I said giggling. When I approached her, she gently grabbed the paper from between my fingers.

"Holy crap! No way! This is too easy! Come on!" she said pulling on my arm.

"We'll be back later tonight guys! Catch ya later!" Lucy shouted at the guild.

"Hey! You're really thinking about leaving us behind? Not a chance! Come on Happy!" Natsu said running up behind us with Happy flying over his head.

"Aye sir!" I smiled at them.

"Me as well." I stopped running and waited for Erza.

"Gray you coming?" Natsu asked.

"Nah, I'm gonna sit this one out. You guys have fun." I smiled and titled my head.

"Come on Lexy! You don't wanna get back tomorrow morning, do ya?" I turned around and faced Natsu. He held his hand out and smiled at me with his teeth. I blushed slightly and grabbed his hand.

"We can't do it without you." He chuckled at me. Tears prickled down my cheeks.

"Hai." I said nodding my head. Without any warning he pulled my hand and started running into the direction of the others.

(At the train station)

"Man! I'm getting sick just looking at it!" Natsu's gagged and grabbed his mouth.

"Hey, are you okay, you look a bit blue." I asked concerned.

"He has motion sickness. He's alright. It's typical Natsu." Lucy said with a sigh.

"Hmm…" I smiled to myself.

"Hey, how far away is this place?" Erza asked.

"3 hours I think. Not too sure but it's pretty far away." I sighed as I got onto the train.

"Man I'm exhausted…" I said to myself as I sat down on a seat. I propped my elbow on the window sill and stared out of the glass and my eye caught something in the distance. I gasped and my eyes bugged.

"Dad?" I said allowed staring at the man in disbelief. He's alive? No… that can't be! He died right before my eyes! How can he be standing there?

"Hey you good? You look as if you saw a ghost." Lucy pointed out. I looked at her.

"Yeah sorry… I thought…" I trailed off and looked back out of the window once more and saw him nowhere in sight. I sighed in relief. 'It's probably just my imagination…'

"Never mind!" I grinned. I felt the train kick as it gassed up, ready to move out of the station. 'Here we go…'


Man, I wonder... haha!
