Fiore in Magnolia, July 5th X784 - Tidus's POV
I smile as I gaze upon the building in front of me, the Guild of Fairy Tail.
I had arrived not too long ago with Mirajane of whom I have been having an enjoyable time chatting with as we get to know one another better.
I grin as Mirajane lets me go in first while my excitement rises at the offer as I do so with a small push of the doors I enter the Fairy Tail Guild.
I am rather surprised at the decor and style that the inside of it is built as, it reminds me of a large drinking hall or pub with the amount of chairs and wooden tables scattered everywhere as I spy a large bar at the back with the name of the guild set up as a sign above it.
I look about, walking forward slowly, as I spy many different people having a good time as they drink and converse with each other.
I look to Mirajane as she too steps through with a gentle smile and kind expression as she says aloud to the group of people, "I'm back from my errands and I bought a friend along too."
I am surprised that Mirajane already considers me a friend since we have only known each other for a short time but I shrug it off as I look at the various members of Fairy Tail who give Mirajane a greeting back in return as some of them look at me curiously but soon return to their business as I am lead by Mirajane to the Bar and behind it as I help her unpack and put away the items that she purchased.
Just as I have finished I am called out by someone nearby.
"Hey Kid."
I turn to see a man of a much more elderly age who is sitting at one of the barstools as he looks at me.
He speaks again saying, "Do I know you from somewhere cause you look kinda familiar?"
I am interrupted from replying by Mirajane who says to the older man with her cheery voice.
"Oh, sorry Master Makarov I forgot to introduce you to our new and hopefully soon to be member of our Guild; Tidus Grimmond."
I watch as, the man now known as the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, Makarov's eyebrows shoot up in surprise as he gazes at me with newfound emotions and understanding as Makarov speaks to me with said feeling.
"Tidus Grimmond, You're Tristan's boy?"
I nod slowly as Makarov's expression becomes more solemn as he says to me, "It was a sad day when we lost such a valued and loved member of our Guild; your father was an amazing man and wizard."
I smile with pride and a small amount of gratitude as my eyes mist over slightly, I then bow and say to the man before me.
"Thank you Master Makarov, I only wish to make him proud and hope that you can allow me to join Fairy Tail?"
I watch as Makarov remains solemn for a moment before he bursts into a happy and joyful manner as he says aloud with said feeling.
"What, are you kidding; of course you can join the guild as it would be wrong of us to not accept Tristan's own son into our family."
I blink at the term 'family' being used to describe the guild until I remember one of my father's descriptions of Fairy Tail and what it is like.
"Fairy Tail is like a big family, because you look after one another and have many good times together and if you always protect your family and help each other then you can become the best member that you can ever be."
I nod to Makarov showing I understood him as my happiness soared and helped reaffirm my decision to join Fairy Tail as one of its members.
I say to the older man, even though I privately thought he was surprisingly short for his age, with gratitude colouring my voice.
"Thank you so much sir, I won't let you down."
The older man smiles wide, showing his teeth, as he says to me in return.
"I know you won't, I can tell."
I feel ecstatic as I too smile wide with joy.
Makarov then speaks to Mirajane asking her, "Could you get the Guild Mark Stamp please my dear?"
Mirajane smiles gently and serenely as she says in her peppy and cheerful voice to the Makarov, "Certainly Master."
She soon leaves us for a moment as she heads towards a door near the back of the bar and goes in, to which she soon comes back out with a large wooden stamp held in her hand.
I am explained about the Guild Mark Stamper as to how it works and what it does.
I can see that the way to get a Guild Mark is very straightforward but I am interrupted from my contemplating by Mirajane asking me in her nice and kind tone of voice.
"What colour would you like your Guild Mark then Tidus and where would you like it?"
I take a moment to think as while it would be better to put it in a place that could be concealed by my shirt, jacket or trousers; it would be nice to show that I am proud to be a member by having it somewhere that can be nearly always visible.
I make my decision as I tell her, "On the back my left hand please Mirajane and can I have it Silver coloured?"
She smiles her now usual smile as she takes my left hand gently and places it on the counter of the Bar as she then holds the Guild Mark Stamper in her her other hand as she presses down gently yet firmly as I feel the stamp press against the back of my left hand as it soon lifts with a quick flash of magic and sound of a spring as I view the Silver coloured Guild Mark with joy and pride filling me.
Mirajane gives her congratulations as she says to me, "Now you're an official member of The Fairy Tail Guild."
My smile goes very wide as my teeth show how cheerful I am as I say to both Makarov and Mirajane.
"I just want to say again, Thank You so much for this; I am just overjoyed to finally become a member of the guild that Dad talked about all the time when I was little."
I go a little misty-eyed at all the short but precious memories I have of our time together as father and son, especially the ones when he talked about his old guild.
I calm down a little as I say to both of them, "I remember one funny story he told me about of how him and his best friend Gildarts tried and said that they could finish and complete missions faster and better than the other and be crowned the 'Ace' of Fairy Tail."
Mirajane's eyes are wide in shock while Makarov's eyebrow begins to twitch slightly as he and Mirajane listen to me describe some of their attempts at finishing some missions to out do the other.
Like the time they were sent to deal with a huge monster that was rampaging towards a heavily populated area to which they bet each other of who could take down the monster better than the other by taking turns trying to defeat the beast.
Or the time they went after a massive sea hydra like monster that nearly destroyed a dozen fishing towns by causing huge tidal waves and crushing tsunami's, to which they bet each other that either of them could stop the monster and save as many towns as possible better than the other.
It ended in a tie most of the time that they tried to out do the other but it was Gildarts who ultimately won since my father who while was a very tough and powerful wizard had not as much magical strength or power as Gildarts whose own powers grew to ridiculous levels.
They still stayed as great friends though after it all with my dad being sometimes called the second strongest member of Fairy Tail at the time with his title being 'Tristan of the Crumbling Earth.'
Mirajane blinks rapidly as she processes what I have told her and Makarov of whom has a face of annoyance as his whole eyebrow is twitching like mad and he has a vein pulsing on his forehead to which he says aloud to me.
"Those two caused so much trouble for me back in those days, I can almost feel the weight of complaints and angry letters to the guild and magic council about those two knuckleheads antics."
I lightly chuckle as I say to him, "Yeah I think I remember my dad mentioning how he was a bit reckless in his youth with his magic."
Makarov calms down after a few short breaths, and a few swigs of a nearby tankard full of beer, as he says to me with a much calmed tone.
"I know he was a reckless kid but he had a good heart and I was so happy to see him marry and have a good life with your mother."
I blink as I remember another reason for coming to Magnolia as I say to Makarov, "I think my mother is actually living here back in Magnolia."
Makarov goes silent for a moment as he processes what I have said to him, as he is taking a drink of his beer; causing him to spit it out in surprise which was luckily away from myself and Mirajane.
"WHAT?!" He says aloud with shock; causing a few nearby members to look at us oddly but they soon return to their business as Makarov speaks again to me.
"How come she never visited as it would have been a very welcome surprise and nice event if she did?"
I rub the back of my head nervously as I answer back a bit hesitantly, "I don't really know but I do know that she moved into my dad's old home when he used to be a Guild member."
Makarov blinks at me as he shakes his head in vague befuddlement but it soon clears away as I ask him, "I know I am a very new member but you wouldn't happen to have had a recent addition to the guild."
Makarov blinks again but this time in surprise as he slowly answers me, "We might have; why?"
I sigh as I explain to him about who it might be and why I may know them.
He shows a mild astonished expression upon his face as he says to me with resolution.
"Yep, that is definitely her."
I mentally cheer at my deductions being right as I ask them both, "Do you know where she is?"
Makarov shows a serious face as he looks to be contemplating his answer as he soon grins and says to me, "I have no idea."
I nearly trip up at the unexpected answer as I think, "If you didn't know then why did you look so serious before answering?"
I am interrupted from my confused thoughts as Mirajane says to me, "I think that she was going about town trying to find a place to stay and live in while working for the guild."
I am surprised that she would be looking so soon as she only joined the other day but I mentally congratulate her on trying.
I say to the two, "Then I may as well go and look for her as it is only a matter of time before we bump into each other."
I wave to Makarov and Mirajane as I jog out of the Guild's building and out into the streets of Magnolia in search for my childhood friend, Lucy Heartfilia.
A few moments later - Lucy's POV
I sigh with exhaustion as I walk lazily back to the guild, having searched nearly all over town for a place to stay while I work for the Fairy Tail Guild.
All the places that were either advertised or mentioned in some of the town newspapers were either too expensive or not big enough for my needs.
I had hoped that I would find somewhere soon as I did not want to take up room in some of the spare bedrooms in the Guild for some of the members who did not have time to live in a separate place than the guild.
I had only recently discovered this through conversations with Mira the other day when she had to find a place to sleep for the night when she had asked her about any nearby hotels or bed and breakfasts.
Mira had happily and gracefully allowed me to stay in one of those spare bedrooms until I could find a place of my own as while it was nice staying at the guild, it was too rowdy and loud to get some good night sleep.
I spy the guild close by with one of my eyes half open as I drag my tired body step by step to its entrance to hopefully rest my weary body.
I had just neared the entrance with relief only to be blindsided by a person crashing into me as I fall back in surprise and shock at the sudden collision.
I close my eyes as I near the ground only to stop moments from the ground as I am supported by what appear to be hands and arms as they steady me.
I slowly open my eyes to speak to the person who caught me only for them to go wide in astonishment at the voice that greets me.
"Well, this was not exactly how I pictured us reuniting after this much time since we last saw each other, How have you been Lulu?"
I stare in utter surprise at the person who speaks as while the face is a little older and the voice a little deeper it is unmistakable not to recognise the man before me as I say aloud with said feeling.
"Tidus?!"
Tidus's POV
I feel giddy with joy and astonishment as I stare at the shocked expression of one of my best friends ever as I have one thought going through my head.
"Damn She's Hot."
Lucy's POV
I look at the face of my childhood and best of friends as I have one thought rattling through my mind.
"Oh My God, He's so handsome and gorgeous."
Third Person POV
They stare at each other for a moment longer as they both soon blush and jump apart with red faces as they look away from each other.
There is a moment of silence until the man speaks saying to the blond haired young woman.
"So..., as I was saying; how have you been Lulu?"
The young woman speaks saying to the man with her back still turned, "Pretty good, you?"
The man speaks with an awkward tone of voice as he says in return to her question, "Good; really good..."
The silence stretches on until the man breaks the silence with a loud groan of frustration, startling the woman until he speaks to her.
"You know what, why don't we start this over; that okay with you?"
He turns to face her as she soon does too as they look at one another and nod as the woman says to him, "Sure."
Tidus's POV
I take a deep breath and speak again with a small smile as I speak to Lucy.
"Sorry about bumping into you it's just I heard you were around so I decided to come look for you."
I watch as Lucy shakes her head to possibly clear her nervous and awkward feeling from our collision and close proximity to each other a moment ago.
She soon speaks to me as I hear her say, "Yeah I know and it's fine so what have you been up too..."
She trails off in speech as she looks at my left hand and sees my Guild mark which causes her to go silent until her eyes go wide as she speaks to me with excitement and a loud voice.
"Oh My Gosh, You're a member of Fairy Tail; why didn't you tell me?!"
She looks at me with a slightly miffed expression as I panic slightly; remembering that look when we were kids for when she was really mad at me for a prank I pulled on her or when I cheated in some of the games we played each other together.
I wave my hands in front of me as I quickly explain, "I wasn't a member for long as I only just joined a few minutes ago; please don't be mad?"
Her expression calms making me sigh in relief as I did not want to have a 'Lucy Kick' sent where the sun don't shine, I inwardly wince at the few times she did that to me when she chased me with a mad and angry look in her eyes.
Especially the time I set up a red paint can and a few ropes that would make it so that all the paint would be dumped on top of Lucy's father's head and clothes when he exited his room after getting ready soon after he woke up from bed.
I would pull the rope and at the exact moment he exited his room in one of his immaculate suits he would be covered in indelible red paint which would be a bitch to get off his skin and clothes without some strong magic.
Unfortunately I did not know that the man was already up and away earlier that day or that I had pointed the paint can in the wrong direction by mistake.
Or in the fact that Lucy was in a brand new clean white dress that my mother bought for her the other day and that she was heading in the direction of her father's room as she did not know he left early as she wanted to wish him a good morning.
As soon as I heard the door open I pulled the string as I hid behind a nearby wall hoping to hear the screams of Lucy's father as he was covered in red paint.
Instead I got the horror filled screams of Lucy as she was doused in her Brand New WHITE Dress with Indelible RED paint followed by the anger filled shouts of her yelling my name.
"TIDUS GRIMMOND!"
I swear to this day I have never run so fast and far with fright in my life with a near psychotic Lucy after me as she was covered from head to toe in red paint, which made her even scarier as she looked like a little blond red skinned demon after my soul.
I was luckily or rather unluckily saved from further harm and pain by my mother who punished me so bad that I could not sit on a hard surface without a cushion for a week to Lucy's obvious pleasure at my punishment as she watched me get my hide tanned by my mother.
I inwardly shudder again at the memory but I push it away as she answered me saying simply, "Oh."
I sigh as I say to her, "Yeah but what a way to meet up again." I finish with a laugh as I scratch the back of my head.
She gives a small smile and cute giggle as she answers me, "You're right but it is so great seeing you again and plus we're both members of Fairy Tail now; how cool is that."
I grin as I answer her with a happy tone saying, "Very cool."
We are interrupted in our conversation by a voice that makes us jump as we turn towards the voice.
"Awe, its so sweet to see you two reunited like this."
It is Mirajane who spoke as she stood at the still open entrance with her usual smile as her head was tilted to the side slightly as she gazed at us through her joyful eyes as she expressed her feeling towards what she was seeing.
We felt a modicum of embarrassment creep up on us as Mirajane gazed at us.
I break it as I clear my throat and speak to Lucy saying to her.
"Do you wanna go and see my Mum; she does live in Magnolia now if you remember?"
Lucy's eyes widen a little as she apparently realizes this and remembers, her expression turns sheepish as she speaks to me saying.
"Oh, I cannot believe I forgot; I haven't even seen her in a long time."
I smile and ask her again with a calm expression.
"So, do you wanna go and see her?"
Her face brightens as she replies with a tone of happiness, "Of course I would."
But it soon dampens as she seems to realise her bodies need to rest as she slumps a bit saying aloud in tired tone.
"But I'm so tired."
I sigh as I know that we could go and recuperate in the guild but with what I can hear in there, it seems like it would be too noisy to have a rest until I have an idea as my hand brushes against my jacket pocket.
I say to her, "I have something that should perk you up a bit so that you have enough energy to get to my mum's house."
Lucy looks me in confusion as I take out my doggy bag of desert and open it up and show it to her.
Her face lightens up as the smell of my sweet treat makes her start to become more alert.
I hand it to her saying, "Here have it as I am still full from my lunch."
She looks at me in further request as she reaches forwards with her hand to take the dessert from me, to which I further nod and watch as she takes it from me.
She takes a hesitant bite to which she pauses as she tastes and eats her bite of dessert.
Her expression then becomes one of amazement as she has soon scarfed down the rest of the Meringue and cream that was in it.
Soon she appears to me in much better spirits as she says aloud, "That was so good, where did you get that?"
Her question is soon answered as I speak to her, "It was in a little cafe/restaurant right here in town called 'Cosette's Patisserie' where I met Mira there..."
I point to the silent Mira who appears to have been just following our small conversation quietly as she soon gives a little wave as I point at her to which she also nods saying, "It's true."
I continue my speech as I finish saying, "To which she led me here to the Fairy Tail Guild where I had hoped to meet you and possibly join as well."
Lucy is nodding along with my explanation as she soon says to me, "So do you wanna get going?"
I smile and nod as I then quickly say to Mirajane, "We'll probably be gone for the whole day and you may need to head back in as it sounds like its getting rowdy in there."
My point is illustrated by a chair that is sent flying out of the door that narrowly misses us as I quickly grab Lucy and spin her out of the way with my body holding her tight.
I watch as Mirajane has ducked to not get hit by the flying furniture as she soon gets up and heads back into the guild but then gives us a coy look of mischief as she looks at us.
I am unsure of why she has that look until I notice that I am holding Lucy tight with her head resting below my chin as I seemingly hug her tight.
I try to hold in my body's reaction to the curvy and well proportioned body is held against my front side as her large breasts press against my muscular chest.
Lucy's POV
I close my eyes as I am held by my best friend, trying to resist rubbing his muscular body with my hands as I feel his chest and shoulders pressed against my raised hands.
I have a naughty thought shooting through my head as I think to myself.
"Oh my god, he's so muscular and I just love his scent."
I resist as much as I can to not breath in too much as I can smell his natural scent which calms me and excites me at the same time; which is a very odd experience.
I give him a gentle tap on the arm with my free hand to signal him to let go, which he soon does after a moment.
I try and not look him in the eye as I feel embarrassment creep up on me again, to my slight annoyance.
"Oh Great, just when it was getting comfortable?"
I think sarcastically as I cough gently to hopefully clear the tense atmosphere again and say to him with a awkward tone of voice creeping our from me as I speak to him.
"So...,where is it we need to go?"
Tidus's POV
"So...,where is it we need to go?"
I blink as I turn my attention to Lucy, once the embarrassed tense atmosphere has cleared up; and listen as she speaks to me in question about my mothers whereabouts.
I take a quick moment to think on the directions and routes needed to get there as I map it out in my head.
Once I have the directions clear in my mind I reply to Lucy's question.
"We need to head about north west from here and we should pass a small house with a little windmill at the top of its roof and go 2 lefts from there followed by a right at the end of the street's corner and we should be at the correct house."
Lucy smiles as she nods at my description to which she turns and begins walking as I soon follow her.
We have only walked a little ahead of where we were standing at the Guild's doorway when Lucy turns to me with a mischievous grin and says in a childish yet cheeky tone of voice.
"Race you there?"
I blink at the request as before I can even answer Lucy has already taken off with much speed.
My expression turns into a playful yet annoyed look as I yell back at her, hoping she can still hear me.
"No fair, you little cheater."
I give chase as I feel a happy grin soon growing on my face as I begin catching up with her to which she gives a wonderful laugh that makes me feel even more glad as she turns to look at me for a moment as she smiles wide with a delighted expression as we both now are laughing and running to my mother's home; enjoying our time together with our reunion in full circle.
I hope you have enjoyed this chapter so far, I had some trouble with it as I was busy and my laptop was acting up again.
Anyway I really need some votes added to my Pokemon Fic as it is quite small the amount given already.
I have some thoughts on how to write my next chapter but I do want to do some work on either a new fic or take an old one off of its long Hiatus.
Until then I hope you enjoy what I have written.
