Shadowninja: *tied up in a chair with duct tape over my mouth* MMPH! MMMMMPPHHHHH!

Me: Shadow is otherwise occupied at the moment, so I shall take over for her and do the prelude until she manages to...untangle herself. *evil chuckle* Read and review; thank you kindly!


Asui's POV

I flicked some of my long, white hair out of my face. I glanced up at Inazu, who was farther along the path than me. I touched my glasses, adjusting them the slightest bit and sped my pace slightly to catch up to him.

"Where did you say we were headed again?" I asked irritably, slowing my pace back down now that we were side by side. He smirked, still not looking at me.

"You can handle a desert, Asui, but not a city? By what logic?" he asked.

"I never said it bothered me!" I fumed. He chuckled and glanced sidelong at me.

"I didn't either. I think you're starting to hear things, Asu." he taunted in a sing songy tone. I sighed. There was no talking to this guy.

"Where are we going?" I whined. He looked up at the sky.

"Can't you smell it, Dragon Slayer?" My stomach grumbled.

"If ya mean fresh, cold ice cubes, then yeh, I hear ya." I moped, scowling. He looked at me and grinned, revealing incisors to rival my own. I shook my head, a smile growing on my face as well. He may irritate me, I may get on his nerves, but we're still best friends, Ina and I. Inazu took a deep breath, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"We're headed to the most famous- or rather, infamous- guild of this entire city. Fairy Tail!" He said it with such an air of respect and awe that I couldn't help the shiver that ran down my spine.

"Fairy Tail?" I repeated doubtfully. He nodded and I noticed a blaze of determination in his eye.

"I've heard it's crazy difficult to get into some guilds. What with Fairy Tail's reputation, I think this would be one of those guilds." I said, shaking my head. Inazu's head drooped.

"Yeah, I know...But we can do it, Asui!" He stopped and faced me, bringing his fists down in front of his chest, electricity crackling in the air. I had to smile at his enthusiasm. I nodded.

"You're right. If we get turned down, we'll just train some more until we can get in. I mean, I'm an Ice Dragon Slayer and you're a powerful lightning wizard! We can do this!" I grinned, showing my own sharp canines and bringing my own fists down in front of my chest. He jumped up and punched the air.

"Yeah! Let's go, Asui!" With that comment, we both dashed off for the guild.

0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0.o.0

We made it to outside the gates of Fairy Tail and skidded to a halt. We both looked up at the giant sign with awe.

"Fairy Tail..." Inazu breathed. We looked at each other and grinned, both of us showing one sharp incisor.

"Let's do this, Inazu." I said mischievously. I caught the twinkle of excitement in his eye. We turned back to the door. I don't know about Ina, but my heart was pounding. My dragon senses were overwhelmed.

I wasn't quite sure what I was hearing, but it sounded exciting and adrenaline-filled. I wasn't quite sure what I was smelling, but it was exotic, spicy and overpowering. I stepped forward and shoved open the doors, my heart almost beating out of my chest from anticipation. One thing that hit my eye right away: a fight.

There was a pink haired boy with a blazing fire outlining him and his head was smashed against another boy's; a black haired Ice wizard, by the looks of him. I had to adjust my glasses to make sure I was seeing right, the magical energy around the boys was so intense. I could just make out various insults being thrown between the two men above the general noise that comes with being a guild.

"Ice Princess!"

"Flame brains!"

"Talking underpants!"

I felt Inazu come and stand next to me. I glanced at him through the corner of my eye and he motioned to the quarreling boys.

"Seems like us, eh Asu?" he said jokingly. I grunted.

"Retard!"

"Stripper!" Just as the pink haired one finished speaking, an old man looked up at me and Inazu from what appeared to be a bar counter. He cleared his throat and all the talking ceased, all eyes turned towards the old man. He had various tufts of white hair sticking out from all over his head except the top part, which was shiny bald. I sniggered at the man's hair and felt Inazu jab me in the ribs with his elbow. He glared at me and I stopped laughing. Out loud. He stepped forward, looking at the old man.

By this time, everyone seemed to have noticed us, including, I noted, a group of three very cute girls. One had blue hair and brown eyes with a white cat sitting near her, the one sitting next to her had brown hair and blue eyes with a light blue dog-like thing on her lap. Then, the one that caught my attention: teal green hair, violet eyes and a dangerous quality about her. She was sitting on the table with her left leg crossed over her right and her arms out behind her, stabilizing her or the table. She looked at me and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she knew I was trouble and didn't want to be bothered with me.

"Master Makarov," Inazu said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked over to my friend. He bowed to the old man. The old man nodded down at my friend and looked over at me. I heard some warning bells go off in my head. I copied Inazu and bowed.

"Master Macaroni," I said, somehow thinking that was what Inazu had said. I heard a laugh from someone in the crowd and looked up, alarmed. Had I done something wrong? The one small giggle swelled up in the audience until it became teary-eyed laughter for everyone there. I looked around, completely confused. I glanced at Inazu, who had slapped his hand against his forehead.

"Macarov, not Macaroni, you dimwit!" He hissed. Dimwit?!

"You're the one that mumbled it so I couldn't hear!" I defended. His eyebrows shot up.

"Oh, so now this is my fault? By what logic?" He demanded.

"You didn't even tell me we were headed here until we were practically outside the gates! So, yeah, this is your fault! If you had told me the old guy's name, I would've known and this wouldn't have happened!" I shouted.

"I explained all the way here! You just weren't listening!"

"If you had mentioned Fairy Tail, maybe I would have listened!"

"Stop trying to blame this on me, you stripper!"

"Take responsibility for it and I won't have to, retard!" Inazu threw a punch at me. I caught his hand and froze it. He jerked his hand back with a cry of pain and charged at me. Soon, we were in a full out battle, punching, kicking and biting left, right and center.

I felt strong hands lift me into the air. I fought a little bit the person had a grip on the back of my neck. I gave in. The person set us down and we looked up at the person who had interrupted our quarrel. Plated armor covered her torso, making a clanking sound as she crossed her arms over her chest and a blue skirt fell just above her knees. She had red, no, scarlet hair and brown eyes that looked down at us coldly.

"I will not tolerate fighting. If you are to stay here at Fairy Tail, which I assume you want to do, you will become best friends. All of us here in Fairy Tail are family. We have our bickering fights," She looked pointedly at the pink haired boy and the black haired boy, "But at the end of the day, we all get along. Do you understand?" She asked, her hands on her hips.

"But-" I started. She glared at me.

"I said, DO YOU UNDERSTAND!" She shouted. Inazu and I both nodded quickly.

"Y-Yes ma'am!" We squeaked. She nodded briskly.

"Good." She said.

Diana's POV

I chuckled. These new boys were sure to be fun. I looked down at them from my perch in the rafters. After my Mistress' lecture for them, they had sat down at a table. The white haired one was talking to his yellow haired partner. He had said something and his partner's jaw clenched. The white haired boy smirked and adjusted his glasses, making the light shine on them and turning the frames white for a second. He said something else and the yellow one balled his hands into fists.

Right then, Mirajane walked over to the boys. She started talking to them. The white haired boy was paying attention for a little but soon got bored with what Mira was talking about and put his elbow on the table, resting his head in his palm. His gaze was unfocused, his eyes just strafting around the room. I smiled. He was kind of cute. But he was still trouble.

He dropped his arm and looked up to where I was hiding. His deep blue eyes met my violet. A small smile creased his face and he subconsciously touched the edge of his glasses. I swung my legs back and forth and looked away. He was definitely cute. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not hard to come across some very handsome boys in Fairy Tail but...He seemed...Different, somehow. I shook my head.

'No, nevermind. I don't need those kinds of thoughts floating around when I'm trying to master a magic. He's just a comrade, maybe a bit of a rival. That's all.' I told myself. I surveyed what was happening. Mirajane had taken out her stamp, which meant they were being inducted into the guild. The yellow haired boy was already admiring his, which was on his upper right arm and colored an electric blue. Mira had now moved on to the white haired boy, who grinned at her. He stuck his tongue out and I raised an eyebrow. He wanted his tattoo on his tongue?

Mira must have asked the same question because he then shook his head and laughed. She looked a bit relieved, in my opinion. I touched the right side of my neck absentmindedly, where my own Fairy Tail mark was. My attention snapped back to the boy as he took off his shirt. My eyes widened in shock. He told Mirajane where he wanted his mark and placed a hand over his left collarbone. She smiled as though nothing had happened and gave him the mark. His was ice white, much like Lisanna's and Mira's own marks. I noticed that he had a scar halfway across his shoulder blade and also theat he neglected to put his shirt back on after the mark was successfully applied.

I looked over at the Job Requests board to see Wendy, Carla and Kira looking it over. I smiled; the Sky Maiden would definitely be a big help on the battlefield, even if she herself had little destructive power. I stood up and hopped off the rafter I'd been previously sitting on. The ground came up fast, but I was ready, hitting the ground with knees bent. I grinned, despite the small amount of shock that ran up my legs when I hit the ground. Finally, perfection on that move.

I heard a sharp whistle and turned to see the two new boys looking at me. The white haired one had two fingers in his mouth and whistled again before taking them out of his mouth and grinning at me, exposing two long canine teeth. They walked up to me. The yellow haired one stuck out his hand.

"Inazu. You're Diana, right?" I shook his hand and nodded. The white haired nodded thoughtfully.

"Diana...I like that name!" He said with a chuckle. He tucked some long, white hair behind his ear and touched his glasses.

"You're kinda cute." My eyebrows shot up. He called me cute?


Me: Aaaaaand...DONE!

Diana: *fuming* I am most certainly NOT cute!

Asui: Sure you are, Dia-san!

Me: Alright, it's back to you, Dit! Have some fun with it! To the readers, read and review!
