Me (shadowninja2000): Okay, a really, really short preamble today. Some shameless self-advertisment: I will be starting a story as an anniversary present to my FanFiction bestie, Poke-Lover88! Last Friday was the anniversary of her first year on FanFiction and today is the anniversary of our first conversation together! Happy anniversary, PokeLover!

Okay, so not a very short preamble, because I've got one more thing. This is before the seven-year gap, so the girls (Diana and Kira) are ten and the boys (Asui and Ina) are eleven. So, despite my previous mistakes in other chapters, Wendy will NOT be coming with them on the first trip because Mest (or Dranbalt, whichever you prefer) takes her as his partner for the S-Class thingy.

Kira's POV

As we walked out of Fairy Tail, Diana took the job out of her pocket.

"So... where are we going?" Ina asked, attempting to look over her shoulder. Noticing this, she slapped him in the face and he staggered backwards, rubbing his cheek.

"We are going to a place called... Mahogany Town," Diana said, looking at the page. A bemused expression appeared on her face before she and Asui shouted, in complete sync, "THAT IS MAHOGANY!" I groaned.

"What?" Ina asked, giving his partner a strange look before looking to me.

"I just... hear that a lot," I said tiredly. He nodded sympathetically and put a hand on my shoulder. I smiled.

"Oh, looky here!" Diana exclaimed. We all looked at her funny and Asui looked sideways at the mission. She moved it a little so he could see and pointed out some fine print on the bottom.

"It says that, along with the original 600,000, we'll get a Celestial Key if we complete this job," Diana said. She looked over at me with a knowing smile.

"A Celestial Key?! Ooh, ooh, let me see!" I cried, snatching the job from Diana. She pointed out the fine print at the bottom and I read the lines hungrily, wanting to know just exactlywho I'd be getting. Unfortunately, it didn't say what Spirit the key contained, only that the key was a silver key. Now, I was walking as I read so we got to the train station almost before I finished. Diana looked to me with a slightly worried expression.

"What's wrong?" I asked quietly, knowing that she may not want the newcoming boys to hear. Her lips were drawn in a tight line so I had to wonder...

"He said he's a Dragon Slayer...So he must be at least somewhat motion sick...And without Wendy's Troia, I'm going to have to resort to a less peaceful solution," No sooner had she gotten that out of her mouth when Asui looked at the train with a distasteful expression.

"I think I'll stay here," he said. Diana gave me a look.

"I can make that easier for you," Diana said, looking at Asui.

"You can?" Asui asked, looking slightly better already.

"Yeah. It's asecret method of mine. You'll be good by the time we get there," Diana said with an air of complete confidence.

"Okay. Do your stuff, sweetheart. I trust you wholly-" Asui started. Then his face posted of any color it'd had previously had. He kneeled over, into my friend's waiting arms. He was out cold (get the pun?). Diana laid the boy down gently then stood.

"There, all better," she said, dusting of her hands. Inazu was now freaking out.

"YOU MADE HIM PASS OUT!" he shouted while running around.

"Actually, she kinda had to," I said.

"Wait...WHADDAYA MEAN, SHE HAD TO?!" Inazu yelled. He stopped and took a deep breath, calming himself and regaining his composure.

"Okay, well, I guess I'll just-" he stopped because before he could finish his sentence, Diana already had Asui hiked up over her shoulder.

"That's my job!" Inazu said with the anime facet of tears. I dragged Inazu onto the train. We followed Diana,which was a bit harder than I'd've liked. She was easy to spot because the crowds parted for her. Unfortunately, they didn't do the same for us, although I did hear an old man say, "Ah, young love," I ignored it and found Diana. She was sitting in a booth with Asui's head testing on her lap. Inazu and I ignored that awkward scene as well, took our seats, and we were off to Mahogany Town.

"So, how long are we going to be gone?" I asked.

"Uh... about three days... I think," Diana said. Inazu opened his mouth, probably to ask about stuff but I reviewed him in the rib and shook my head quickly. He made a face and rubbed his side. I giggled.

"So, how are we going to find this dog?" Inazu asked.

"We are going to look for it, baka," Diana said.

"I meant where are we gonna look for it," Ina said irritably.

"I don't know," Diana muttered, averting her eyes from Inazu's triumphant look. After talking about a plan for two hours, we reached the station.

"WE'RE HERE!" Diana shouted. We got our luggage and got out of the train. When we got out, I noticed that Asui's eyelids flutter open.

"GYAAAAA!" Asui shouted, jumping a couple feet and throwing his hands up to protect his face. Diana looked at him and a smile played on her lips.

"I see you're up."

"So, where're we going to look for this dog?" Asui asked boredly, putting his hands behind his head as we walked.

"We are going to look for this mansion first," Diana said, looking sideways at the Ice Dragon Slayer.

"I think that if we want to find that mansion, we should probably look at that big stone building over there," I said, a finger pointed at a big building I'd noticed. Diana nodded and gave me abit of praise before we set of futur for where that building was. Unfortunately, Asui got hungry and forced us to stop for ice cream.

"Fine, fine but this will get us behind a bit," Diana said, a warning tone in her voice. Asui was oblivious to it and ordered a couple ice cream cones. He slapped some money on the counter and got his ice cream rather quickly.

"It'll be worth it when a battle pops up," Asui assured her, licking the chocolate one.

Diana rolled her eyes. We walked up to the mansion door.

"I'll ring the door bell." Diana said. She rung the bell and down in some back room, avery fancy bell rung.

"Who is it?" said a gruff voice.

"We're from Fairy Tail! We accepted your job request to find a dog," Diana said.

"Show me your mark." the voice boomed. Diana swept her teal hair to the left, revealing her mark on her neck. I swished my hair back a bit, showing my Fairy mark on my cheek. Meanwhile, Inazu had raised his sleeve to show his and Asui had just stripped his shirt off to reveal his on his collarbone. After a moment, the Gajeel sized door was opened. A little man stepped out.

"Dude, if you're so tiny why do you have such a huge door?" Asui asked.

"I'm not tiny!" the little man said. Then he pointed at Asui and said, "I do not sure nudity on my property. Please put your clothes back on." We ask looked at Asui, including Asui, and our jaws dropped. He'd just stripped in the two seconds it took to open the door. Asui shrieked and the his clothes back on.

"We're here for the job you posted Mr-," I said.

"My name is Mr. Arby Berry."

"Yummy name!" Asui said, drooling. Diana smacked Asui.

"Owww!" Asui frowned. "Meanie."

"That is very insulting," she said.

"Good." Asui muttered.

"Excuse me?" Diana asked threateningly. A cloud of steam formed on Asui's palm. Diana summoned a lightning javelin and started to throw it at Asui.

"THERE WILL BE NO FIGHTS ON MY PROPERTY!" Mr. Berry shouted, surprising all of us.

"Where have you last seen your dog?" I asked politely, trying to get as much information as possible.

"I last saw her in the woods," Mr. Berry said with a harrumph.

"We need the name," Inazu whispered to Diana.

"Great idea! So, Mr. Berry, what is your dogs name?" Diana asked.

"Her name is Princess."

Me: Aiight! Here we is!
