Chapter 2


As Makarov walked through the guild hall doors, the place was exploding with laughter and cheer. Everyone seemed to be drinking, if not eating, or fighting. Gajeel and Juvia followed him, experiencing the liveliness of Fairy Tail first hand.

Makarov walked up to a stool and jumped from that, to the top of the counter and cleared his throat. Everyone kept continuing on as if it never happened, which to them it really didn't, causing Makarov to take it a step further.

"Quiet children!" He barked mercilessly. "I need you all to listen to me for just a second, now if you would all shut your mouths!"

People dropped what they were doing and stared at their master, expecting some kind of important news from him. But people started to not only look at their master, but at the two kids no one had ever seen before.

"Children we have two new guests and I expect you all to get along with them." Makarov looked down at both Gajeel and Juvia, staring directly at Gajeel. "And that means you too."

Gajeel crossed his arms and let out a huff, turning away from Makarov, scowling. Watching him, Juvia let a small smile play on her lips. It wasn't a full one because she felt it could never be complete since losing her parents. But it soon faltered when she noticed the many eyes gawking at her and her friend. She looked left and then right at the many eyes, and that's when she saw a pair that made her whole body stop. The deepest of blue, almost black, eyes stared right into her navy ones. She would have stared at him longer if it weren't for Gajeel pulling her toward an empty table. "Come on Juvia. Let's sit down."

Juvia walked with him to the table and sat down. As they did so, the people in the guild slowly went back to what they were doing, but kept an eye on them considering Gajeel's threatening face and Juvia's impassive one. But as the two sat down, silently thinking what their next move would be, a group of kids stood together curiously observing them.

"I don't trust the one with piercings." Said a boy with rosy pink hair. "He looks weird." He sniffed the air toward them and furrowed his eyebrows. "And smells different too."

A girl with short silver hair gave the rose haired boy a disappointed look. "Natsu that's not nice. You can't judge a book by its cover, right Levy?" She looked over to a girl with bright blue hair. She didn't respond and only kept staring right at Gajeel.

Everyone waited for her to respond but noticed that someone else in their group, with hair the same color as the short haired girl but longer, replied instead. "I think they both look kinda weird. He looks like he escaped prison or something and the girl looks like she doesn't smile. Ever." She turned to face the subjects at question.

"Who knows, they might surprise you." A girl with long brown hair holding a stack of tarot cards suggested.

A boy with droopy eyes and dark hair replied. "Yea maybe your right Cana, but they do look like they've been through a lot. They look kinda... I don't know... dirty."

No one in the group heard a member leave, but continued on as their friend with scarlet red hair walked up to the two newcomers.

Holding out her hand, she silently nodded at them while also holding a comforting smile on her face. "My name is Erza. I want to welcome you to Fairy Tail."

Hearing their scarlet haired friend talk, one by one the group walked up quietly behind her and watched her confront them.

Gajeel kept a solid gaze on Erza, not moving an inch to retrieve her hand. He flicked his eyes over toward her 'posse' and back at her. "We don't need your pity ya know. You can just leave us alone."

Erza twisted her face up, surprised at Gajeel's tone of voice. "I'm just trying to be nice. There's no need to be rude to me."

The rose haired boy Natsu pushed his way toward Erza and stood in front of her while crossing his arms.

"Who are you anyways?" He questioned seriously. Natsu sniffed Gajeel from where he stood and watched him backed away, giving Natsu a suspicious look.

Gajeel showed his teeth and growled a little. "Why are you smelling me?!" His eyes widened with realization. "Are you a... never mind. Just don't smell me you pink headed creep." He calmed down and kept his eyes closely on Natsu.

Natsu cocked an eyebrow and folded his arms. "Don't make fun of my hair, iron plate!" He yelled, letting the previous conversation be forgotten.

Juvia watched as Gajeel and the pink haired kid whose name she didn't know started to go back and forth with each other. Curious who was also behind Erza, her eyes trailed behind her, only to see the boy with the deep dark blue eyes and messy black hair. To her, he was mesmerizing. She couldn't describe what it was about him, but her heart could. She held a hand to her chest and felt the rapid thumping increase. She silently prayed it would stop and felt confused and scared as to why it was happening.

Handling her heart was one thing, but then he started to look at her as well. His face was kept still, but he curiously looked at Juvia like he was trying to figure her out. She could feel heat rise to her cheeks as she touched them, but the movement she made caused the boy to look away making Juvia frown a little. Though she was slightly confused about her actions, she knew that it was bound to happen again.

Listening to Gajeel complain with the rose head started to give Juvia the impression that he actually enjoyed her company. When living at home, Gajeel would give anything then to keep talking with anyone for too long besides herself. He would call them annoying and start pushing them away, resulting in him losing chances to make any friends. Juvia didn't mind him making friends, but actually felt jealous that he had the ability to. Juvia was described as an ameonna. Women that were said to attract rain wherever they went, and that's how she lived life day after day. Rain poured endlessly in their hometown causing people to steer clear from the little girl. The only ones who didn't were Juvia's parents and Gajeel.

Juvia looked between the both and then payed close attention to Gajeel's face. A smirk. Her heart warmed while watching her friend enjoy himself for once and she could tell that maybe it was fate that they ended up at Fairy Tail's doorstep. Something felt right staying here. She then lightly tugged on Gajeel's arm, pulling him close.

Gajeel, ready to say another smart remark at the pink head, abruptly stopped when he felt the slight bump from Juvia. Turning to his left, he noticed her leaning toward his ear to say something to him.

The small group of kids stood watching what was happening between the other two. They kept silent as they watched Gajeel's smirk slowly fade with Juvia's words, impacting him. They saw Juvia pull away and nod at the pierced ruffian-looking kid. He looked at her in a serious matter and took her hand in his, leading her over to the guild's master.

Makarov was sitting on the counter enjoying a drink, until he felt the presence of the two children he brought in. Facing toward them, he stayed quiet, ears ready.

"We accept your offer to stay old man. We would like to become apart of Fairy Tail."

Makarov jumped off of the counter, shouting in the process. "Listen up everyone, I want you all to give a warm welcome to your new members, Gajeel and Juvia!"

The guild, feeling no threat from the two kids, cheered and started to party. They pulled out the drinks and summoned bar maids over to order what they wanted.

Erza walked up to the two once more, smiling a kind smile. "Now since we're apart of the same guild, I hope we can at least get along. Wouldn't you agree, Gajeel?" Erza finally knowing the mystery kids' names, held out her hand once more.

Gajeel stared at it again and smirked. "Don't think we're friends after this." He roughly shook her hand and walked over to stand next to Makarov.

"Juvia is it? I hope we can be...friends." Erza asked quietly. She held her hand out toward her.

Juvia's eyes widened at Erza, feeling something that she thought she wouldn't ever get to experience. Making a new friend.

She grabbed her hand hesitantly, afraid if she was joking, but never felt Erza laugh, run, nor insult her. She only gave her a welcoming smile.

"Thank you so much Erza-san." Erza tensed at hearing Juvia speak for the first time since being here, but quickly relaxed, understanding the genuinity in her voice.

Makarov came over and grabbed onto Juvia's shoulders, leading both her and Gajeel to his office on the second floor.

The rose haired boy, Natsu, moved his way toward Erza and obscured her view of their master, Juvia, and Gajeel.

"What was that all about Erza?" He inquired curiously.

She gave Natsu a small smile. "Just making a new friend." She put a friendly hand on Natsu and made her way out of the guild and into the pouring rain mumbling to herself. "Just making a new friend."
