"So, are you still wanting to join the guild?" Eve asked, setting down his cup of half full tea. Maisie set her own teacup down and looked him in the eye.

"Definetly," She declared. "I'm going to try doing something for myself. It'll be good for me."

"It's nice that you're looking out for yourself a bit more. But we will have to give you some time to really do some training."

"Great, I can't wait to get started."

About three months later...

"Eve! You're not losing are you?" Maisie called out teasingly. She had sweat dripping down her face.

"Not planning on it." Eve yelled back, sending another blast of his snow magic at the girl.

"Crystal Barrier!" Maisie yelled, and a wall shot up around her, and the snow slammed against it, cracking the wall, but not breaking it. She dissipated it, and watched as Eve fired multiple, fast paced attacks raced towards her. Maisie dodged all but one of them, which slammed her into the back wall, and knocked her out.

Maisie opened her eyes a second later, her head spinning. Eve was crouched in front of her, just as sweaty as she was. She watched a bead of sweat drip down his neck, and bit her bottom lip. "You're going to beat me at my own game one day soon." He said, helping her off the ground.

"You know it," she smiled. "I'm beat, we still on for that job tomorrow though?"

"I am if you are."

"Perfect, see you then." Maisie smiled, giving a wave as she turned. She merrily went back to her home, where a nice hot bath would be drawn and she'd retire to her room for the evening and hopefully get some sleep.

Maisie walked down the street, watching as the setting sun began dipping below the horizon. She watched the warm yellows and pinks swirled in the sky, fascinating her as usual. Maisie felt happier since the fateful day a few months ago she had joined Blue Pegasus.

Maisie had settled into the guild and quickly gotten into the swing of things. Training with Eve once a day, going out on a job with him or by herself, depending on if he was leaving on a job with his actual team or not. Then there was dinner with Jenny every evening, a little bit of girl time.

Today the schedule was thrown out of whack, and Eve returned back from the guild later than usual. So, Maisie asked Jenny to go out on an early dinner with her, and when she came back to the guild, the Trimens had returned, and Maisie went into training with her friend.

Maisie stretched as she shut the door behind her into her little townhouse, the sides lined with bookshelves and the walls a light blue. Maisie yawned and drew her bath, anxious to go to sleep. The day had been long, and she wanted a short break before her trip with Eve.

They had a little tradition to go on day jobs when they got the chance, just to both get a break from the guild and kick some ass. They enjoyed it. Maisie also liked watching Eve in battle, not against her. He had this cute way of going into this total trance of just immense concentration, and he'd just demolish the competition.

Maisie had just put on her pajamas when there was a knock at her door, she raised her brow, and trotted down the steps, and opened the door. Maisie's eyes widened, but quickly smiled. "You guys came." She said to her family.

"You think we'd let our daughter down? What kind of father would I be then?" Her dad ruffled her hair. His sharp facial features and light brown hair made Maisie look like the odd one out, along with Silia and Brack taking after her father. But Maisie's mother, she and her mother were almost identical. The only difference was the length of hair. Her mother wore it in a bob, Maisie wore it long.

Maisie looked at the twins, they were 13 now. Faternal, and both insanely troublesome. Silia had her hair in a braid, her light teal eyes looking back at Maisie. Brack had messy bangs, and the identical eyes, and was a bit taller than his twin. They gave her that same old mischivious grin though.

"I have some extra rooms for you guys, take your stuff in, please." Maisie took her mother and father's suitcases, and dragged them up the steps, into one of the extra rooms. "Twins room is down the hall." Maisie waited for them all to get settled in, and then she sat down on the couch.

"Tired, sweetie?" Her father kissed the top of her head.

"A little bit." Maisie admitted.

"Well, we're only here for a week, then we'll be out of your hair."

"No, it's not that, just work."

"Oh yes, you're a guild wizard now. How's that going?" Her father sat across from her on the large sofa.

"I love it actually, I've made some friends, the pay is good."

"I'm glad you're happy." Her father smiled warmly. Maisie's mother sat down next to her father, and looked at her daughter.

"Talking about work?" She asked, her voice higher than Maisie's.

"Yeah, just telling Dad how it was going well." Maisie lied back in her seat.

"That's good."

"Crap, I just remembered," Maisie said, mentally kicking herself. "I promised to go on a job with my friend... well, we can always go next week, we haven't officially accepted the job, so we can always reschedule."

"Your brother and sister will be glad to hear it, they've been looking forward to the trip to see you since you sent us that letter." Her mother said.

"Really?" Maisie smirked. "I'll have to remember that..."

"So what would you like to do tomorrow, sweetheart. This is your town, not ours." Her father asked. Maisie tapped her chin, and then an idea popped into her head.

"I can take the twins into the guild, you guys can have a day off. It'll keep them busy, and not to mention, I can show off how much cooler I am." Maisie flipped her hair. Her parents gave a small bit of laughter.

"Okay, as long as it's okay with your guildmaster."

"He loves kids, so it should't be a big deal."
