I wonder since when this get turned into a long series. As I was reading the original version, I appreciated all the support given to me, and thanks to them my inspiration came flowing in. The next few chapters will set up all the important characters that would have a bigger part as the series progresses. Gajeel happened to be the first.


Chapter 3: Gajeel, the Dreamcatcher

This day, Gajeel was loitering around the street. He was determined to hunt down the culprit who landed him in his current misery. His reputation was hurt after the fireworks incident for flirting with Lucy (for goodness sake, that is the last thing he would do, to think he was the minority who is never in love with her next to the Prince of Fairy Tail).

He was feeling perturbed at the disruption of his concert because of that. The poor guy had spent all his pennies organizing it all over again and his effort went down the drain as nobody would support him. Neither did he realize that it was the problem with his singing voice rather than his reputation. Not that his reputation was any better. He found himself in debts a few days earlier and was even bullied by cats on the streets when he tried to find some food as he was penniless.

Dressed in the hood and hiding his appearance he move down the street after observing his surroundings around the Country of Edolas. He heard that there would be a firework performance happening that afternoon so he came to take a look. Hiding behind a pillar, he realized that it was just a demonstration, not exactly a performance to his disappointment. He turned and left the venue. He needed to find the journalist who was also a firework specialist.

On the other side of the capital, there was a bar, and over there, the journalist who was named Gajeel was having his drink. He was thinking really hard on how he could join Fairy Tail guild to get close to Lucy. He decided to check with his usual informant with latest news from Fairy Tail, hence he dropped by the bar. Just as he was talking to the informant, another man stood beside him and they spoke in unison. As both men turned to see the person next to him, they thought they saw themselves in a mirror.

Is it just another nightmare or is it just coincidence? Or Are they long lost brothers?

Both Gajeels were finally settled down sitting beside each other at the side of the bar after the shock. Rarely one will be able to meet somebody who has almost the same face as one another (as if). They could not help but feeling curious so they start to chat to get to know each other better.

Kurogane Gajeel realized that the journalist Gajeel had the same hobby as each other did. They exclaimed in unison that they really hit it off well!

Gajeel was elated. Grinning deviously, he had decided on his new resolution. With his help, Gajeel could have a concert with the man with the very same face as him singing on stage together, and to everybody, this is never-before seen and it is going to be a very spectacular, once-in-a-lifetime concert.

Journalist Gajeel became excited when he heard that the man with the same face as him was part of the guild he had wanted to join. With his help, he would be able to get close to Lucy. They really hit it off well!

Both stood up and left the bar, walking down the streets having their arms around one another. They were glad that they met each other and both felt that they were useful to one another.

As they walked a distance down the street to one corner, both remembered their own missions and need to go. It was okay. They would meet again.

"Let's bid farewell for the time being, we will meet again, my partner!" Both exclaimed in unison as they went on their separate ways.
