Achnologia wasn't one to admit defeat easily, when he was younger and challenged his siblings to a duel in kendo it would often take him nearly breaking a bone to surrender. Yet the current combination of children singing obnoxious disney songs (mainly 'let it go'. He swears he'll kill whoever made that movie), the piles of guardian paperwork from the government, and an annoying blond that was buzzing around him like a fly, Achnologia was willing to think that even satan couldn't come up with a worse punishment then what was happening to him right now.

"You're eye's twitching" Anna stated bluntly, bringing Achnologia out of his thoughts. Choosing to ignore the womens comments he focused his attention back on the damned paperwork in front of him. For as much as he loved business, he hated the paperwork. He was always more a face to face person and was an expert at negotiations, not so much at reading and filing out documents. Looking back down at his work he realised he had swapped the Mute's and Gajeel's files information. Swearing an extremely colourful string of curse words under his breath, he added man who invented paperwork to his mental to kill list.

While Achnologia was silently cussing at the paperwork Anna was observing him. He to her was actually kinda interesting, he at first was extremely irritating, frustrating, stupid, aggravating, a total jackass, and qualified ass hat. But he had also been quite patient and nice with the kids, even when they tackled him to the ground. She deduced the man had a soft side, and she was determined to find it. However for now she would amuse herself with his funny facial expressions that appeared whenever she annoyed him. Picking up a pen from next to her, she began to poke at Achnologia's arm hoping for a reaction.

The next 10 seconds were some of the scariest in her life (and she had survived a study session with Mard Geer) in one swift movement Achnologia had snatched the pen from her hands and crushed the poor thing so that red ink was now staining his hands. With voice that would probably make a demon quiver in fear he said

"If you don't get out of this room and stop the kids singing those damn songs in the next 20 seconds, the state of this pen will resemble your body" Knowing full well that Achnologia wouldn't follow through on his threat, yet never the less being absolutely terrified she bolted from the room. Leaving Achnologia sitting at the kitchen table in silence, allowing him to finish the rest of the paperwork.

—x—

Once all the paperwork was filled out, Anna and Achnologia managed to herd all the children and their luggage outside. An act that involved a lot of yelling, violent threats to ones genitals, and a neighbour almost calling the police.

"Thank goodness that's over" Anna stated stretching her back. "So where's your car?"

"Don't have one" he said bluntly, causing Anna to give him a shocked expression.

"So you walked all the way here from who knows where?" she asked

"Yup" he admitted appearing disinterested.

"Well then…..HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GONING TO GET HOME" Anna yelled, annoyed at the mans stupidity.

"I DON"T KNOW CATCH THE TRAIN OR SOMETHIN'" Achnologia screamed back, which caused passerby's to stare at the couple arguing in front of a group of 5 children and a pile of luggage. 'What a terrible divorce', 'Why would they argue like that in front of their own children', and 'I can't believe such a young couple have so many children' were all thoughts that flew through the publics mind at the scene.

"Not with that pile of luggage your not" Anna retorted nodding her head at the sizeable pile of superhero and disney luggage. Really though why Wendy had an Avengers suitcase and the boys all had disney princess ones she would never know.

Realising that the meathead (Achnologia) had not given her a response she began to think aloud "If you can't take the train or bus and you can't walk then what…..hmmmm you could always stay the night, but then again I don't have enough beds"

"You do realise that taxi's exist right?" Achnologia with a bored expression on his face leaning up against a lamp post as to give the impression he knew about the possibility of taxi's the whole time, but he actually only just remembered it himself.

"Of course I did" Anna said with a slight blush of embarrassment on her cheeks, looking away she continued "I was just testing to see if you knew"

"Sure, sure" Achnologia scoffed "But anyway I need to borrow your cellphone"

"Why?" Anna asked curiously to which Achnologia shoved his hand down into his jeans pocket and pulled out a a completely smashed nokia. It was so bad that when he held it from the top, the bottom half was only connected by a few wires.

"How the hell did that happen" Anna inquired observing the smashed devices

"Uhh…well…" Achnologia stuttered remembering the embarrassing incident that involved a bag of bananas and an old lady's walking stick.

"You know what never mind, here you go" she said smoothly pulling out a perfectly smudge and crack free iPhone and handing it to the man in front of her.

Once Achnologia had called the taxi, an awkward moment of silence ensured until Natsu walked up to Achnologia.

"Uncle Achno" he asked tugging on his muscular arm

"What you brat?" he responded annoyed

"Why is that guy trying to shove his tongue into that girls mouth" he innocently asked pointing to a teenage couple violently making out on the side of Anna's apartment building. Achnologia was paralysed in shock until he saw the boy start to creep his arm up under the girls shirt.

"Oh hell no, thats it" he yelled, adding an "Anna make sure the kids aren't watching" before he stormed off towards the couple. Grabbing the boy that was 16 at most, by the scruff of his collar and pulling him away from his dishevelled girlfriend.

"You know there is such a thing as public decency" he snarled at the acne covered boy who was shaking in fear at the sudden appearance of this monster of a man.

"I….uh….I" the boy stuttered. Grumbling in annoyance Achnologia dropped the boy on the ground with a thud, that would most likely leave a bruise. Crouching down so that he could whisper in his ear Achnologia said

"Maybe next time you don't practically have sex in public, okay buddy" hiss voice was laced with subtle vicious intent that promised a horrendous death, a message that clearly got through to the boy, as when Achnologia turned his back the young boy booked it, grabbing his girlfriends arm as he went.

"Wow, remind me to never piss you off" Anna gulped in both fear and awe

Achnologia's response was never heard as just then an offensively yellow taxi pulled up in front of the group.

"Well this is goodbye until Sunday?" Anna questioned. Achnologia nodded, his mind distracted at how he was going to explain to the kids what they just saw.

"Alright then bye Meathead, bye kids" she cheerfully stated, as she turned around and jogged back to her apartment, glad Achnologia wasn't to quick on the uptake. Meanwhile Achnologia was too busy helping the middle aged cab driver load the assortment of children's bags into the back of the taxi to notice her leaving. Turning around and realising she wasn't there he looked at Wendy who was reading some kind of book to ask where she went.

"Hey Wendy when did Anna leave" poking her head up from the book she timidly responded to his question

"Oh she called you a meathead and then said goodbye" at this Achnologia's right eye twitching was the only sign he was about to lose it.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A MEATHEAD, COME DOWN HERE AND FIGHT ME" he yelled at the very unresponsive building that held the annoying blond. He was about to yell a second time before the taxi driver placed a sweaty palm on his shoulder.

"Hey everything's loaded up, where are you headin'" he spoke in a voice that had seen the use of many a cigarette. Shaking the mans hand of his shoulder he gave the address of the shared house his siblings had before herding the kids into the car. Entering the front seat himself he took a glance the children in the rearview mirror.

Natsu and the lightbulb were animatedly talking, the mute was looking out the window as if he were in some emo music video, and Gajeel was helping Wendy read her book. Turning his head back around he thought

'I really need to learn those two kids names'
