Okay here is the next chapter and sorry for being late on this!
Next is going to be the Daphne arc.
Yeah, I know it's short but who cares...
At 8island, a restaurant that recently opened at the corner of Hargeon, Team Natsu along with Reana, were seen working a job in order to pay for Lucy's rent. However this wasn't just any type of mission they usually go on. They had to cater the customers in uniforms which weren't apparently to Reana's liking. She questioned the fact of why she came in the first place.
Reana was wearing a short strapless orange maid-like dress that had white frills with matching sleeves. On her chest read, '8ISLAND' while around her neck was a white collar that had a red ribbon. On her head was a frilly headband and her hair was also in two braids. This outfit was also paired with brown shoes that had white stockings.
"Hi, hi! Welcome to 8island! Did you figure out what you'd like to eat?" Reana asked in a cheery yet girly tone.
"I'll have the same as the man in the blue hat over there." The man said, pointing to a man with a wizard hat.
"Alright, so a blue sky meat sauce and a holly soda poyo, coming right up!" Reana said before walking away from him.
However, while walking away from her customer, her personality changed when she saw Natsu standing there with Lucy.
"Damn it Natsu! When you invited meto go on the job with you, you didn't tell me I was supposed to wear this!" Reana shouted pointing to her maid outfit.
"This is part of the job." Natsu said as he pointed to Lucy. "She seems to like it."
"Quite flaunting yourself to everyone, Blondie." Reana said with a sigh.
"Hey, I look pretty cute in it! Even if it is part of the job."
"Sure you do." Reana said, pretending to agree. "But dressing the part is so annoying."
"Sometimes dressing like a waiter is pretty nice."
It was Gray, who was suddenly beside Reana. He held a platter that had two cups, but he did not fit the waiter part. He only had his boxers and a red tie around his neck.
"Try saying that with the clothes actually on!" Lucy shouted, shocked to see him with no clothes.
"S-So cute…" Reana muttered silently to herself. "I can't believe I tagged along with you guys!"
"Hey, come on. Why not?" Gray asked looking at her. "It wouldn't be the same without you here with us, right?"
"R-Really?" Reana asked as patches of red appeared on her cheeks. After realizing this, she quickly turned her head away. "I-It's not like I care about your statement or anything! I could really care less at what you say!"
"Hah?" Gray questioned confused.
"N-Never mind!" Reana shouted, crossing her arms. "Just tell me why you're naked!"
"Wha?" Gray questioned looking down before yelling in shock.
Reana placed a hand on her mouth, "S-So cute…!" She shouted, out of character, being glomping him in a hug.
"R-Reana!" Gray shouted, shocked yet surprised at her reaction.
"You don't find that to be disturbing?" Lucy asked, curiously. "I mean you're practically hugging him in his underwear."
"I just love his reaction and habit!" Reana squealed, before straightening herself back to normal. "Besides, we're the only ones not taking this overboard…" She said pointing to Erza who managed to make some customers want everything on the menu.

After hours of working at the restaurant, catering everyone, it was finally closing time. Team Natsu and Reana were out in the back as the client came to give them a job well done. Apparently their client was a past member of the Magical Council which shocked Natsu and Gray.
"The Council?!" Natsu and Gray shouted simultaneously in shock.
"You guys didn't know?" Lucy asked, "Yajima-san used to be a member of the Magical Council."
"Aye sir!" Happy cheered with a salute. "Make sure you don't wake up your problem, Gray." Happy said with a stifle.
Happy was right about something for once. Sleeping peacefully on Gray's shoulder was Reana. She was worn out from pretending to be nice and girly to the customers. Who knew that just acting for a few hours would make her this exhausted?
"Zuuku…" Yajima said touching his chin, "Or was it Zullal?"
"Jellal…" Erza corrected since he got somewhat close.
"Ah yes, that's right. The betrayal of Zullal and Ultear was quite the blunder for the Council. Now it's the time to establish a new Magic Council. It caused you all a lot of grief, it did… I'm really sorry." Yajima said, rubbing his head.
"No… I've heard you were set against firing the Etherion the entire time. And you even retried out of shame for the actions of the Council." Erza said softly.
"I'm not fit for governing…" Yajima said flipping the food from the frying pan.
He explained that he had a lot more fun being a cook than a member of the Magic Council. He then later gave Natsu and Gray a stern lecture of not causing any more trouble once the new Magic Council formed since Yajima was the only one who spoke for Fairy Tail.

After their job well done, they all came back to the guild to see a diagram which was the organization chart of the dark guilds. There were many dark guilds up on the diagram and Team Natsu noticed one of them that stood out which was Eisenwald. However, everyone began talking about Oracion Seis being a stronger dark guild, that is, until Makarov showed up.
"And that, Oracion Seis…" Makarov said gaining the attention of everyone. "We're going to attack them."
There was a complete silence in the room. Why did the master decide on attacking Oracion Seis? Everyone was quite shocked at this statement, until Mira broke the silence.
"Welcome back Master." Mira said with a smile. "How was the regular meeting?"
Everyone fell on their faces due to this tension breaker.
"Master, what are you talking about?" Erza asked surprised.
"Yeah, I thought you didn't want to get in trouble by the Magic Council." Reana said, crossing her arms.
"At the regular meeting the other day, we discussed the recent activity of Oracion Seis. As it is not something we can ignore, we decided that some guild has a right to fight them."
"You pulled the short straw this time?" Reana asked, giving him glares. "Does that mean Fairy Tail has to take them on?"
"No…" Makarov said walking down the steps, "The enemy this time is too strong. That is why we have formed an alliance ourselves."
"An alliance?" Everyone questioned.
"Fairy Tail! Blue Pegasus! Lamia Scale! CaitShelter! These four guilds will send out members to strike out these guys!"
"But we can handle it ourselves, no problem!" Natsu said with his thumb pointing upwards. "Or actually I can handle it myself."
"Naïve fool!" Erza said pounding his face, "The Master is thinking of the consequences afterwards!"
Reana grabbed his scarf, "You're such an impulsive and reckless person! Can you stop thinking so confidently of yourself?!"
"Hey, I can handle it myself!" Natsu retorted until Reana pounded his face to the ground.
"I hate being yelled at, Natsu! So next time, don't do that again!"
"S-Sorry…!"
"So, wait a second!" Lucy shouted trembling while showing six fingers, "The enemy only has six members, right? How crazy powerful are these people?"
"Feeling scared now, aren't we?" Reana said coming behind Lucy practically scaring her.
"O-Of course I am! We could get hurt badly or worse, even killed!" Lucy shouted, covering her ears.

It was finally the time to go meet the Alliance, but the people going were Team Natsu. Reana stayed behind, lazily placing her head on a table. She wanted to go, but the master did not choose her to go for some reason. Reana's outfit slightly changed which was only a black bandeau, dark blue denim shorts, and leather boots. Cana casually walked over to her and patted her back.
"Relax for once Reana. You shouldn't worry if you didn't get pick for the Alliance thing."
"That's not the reason why I'm upset."
"Liar."
"Okay, fine, but that's not the only reason." Reana said, lifting her head up. "I'm worried if they're going to get hurt or not. I mean Oracion Seis is supposed to be really strong and I don't want them to die or anything."
"You worry too much Reana. That's something that makes you seem less aggressive and mean." Cana said taking a sip of her beer. "Besides when you mean 'they', do you mean Gray?"
Reana sighed, "Yeah…"
Cana flutter her eyes in shock, "Y-You're actually telling me the truth? This isn't like you Reana. You usually hide it even though it's noticeable."
"Yeah, but I don't have the energy to do that today. I'm the type of person who worries a lot."
This was quite strange for a person like Reana. Cana had never seen her like this before which was sort of confusing to her. Cana wanted to do something to keep her mind off the Oracion Seis business.
Cana snapped her fingers, "I got it!"
"Got what exactly?"
"How about you and I make a bet?"
Reana's ears tensed, "What kind of bet?"
"I'll stop drinking and you have to stop being mean to others. Loser has to listen to the winner's demands." Cana said with a smirk.
"You're on."

A couple of days passed since that bet and Reana had been trying her best to be nice while Cana tried not to drink. For some reason, these girls managed to keep up, though they seemed to be overloading themselves. Team Natsu finally came back and brought home a girl with long blue hair and a white cat. Erza had explained to the master everything that had happened during the mission.
"And so, that's why I've invited Wendy and Carla to join Fairy Tail." Erza said as everyone was staring at Wendy.
"It's a pleasure to meet you!" Wendy said as she bowed her head.
"Wow, she's really adorable." Reana muttered to herself. "She reminds me of me when I was her age."
"She kind of looks like she could be related to you. I mean your bangs are like the same."
"That's an unrelated topic Cana. Most people can have the same hairstyles these days."
"Welcome back, everyone." Mira said with a smile.
"Master…" Erza said looking at him sit on the bar table.
"Excellent work. This area should be peaceful now, for a while. And of course, I bid Wendy and Carla a hearty welcome!"
Reana turned to see Gray and the others. She was happy yet worried when she noticed the small wounds he had. She wanted to attack him in a hug, but a sea of water stopped her.
"Gray-sama! Juvia was so, so worried! Juvia's eyes poured out in tears!" Juvia shouted, being the cause of the sea.
Everyone was either drowning or trying to find a place to stand on to get away from the water. Juvia had created a small ocean with her tears that irritated Reana the most. She was seen hanging for her life on a floating table.
"JUVIA!" Reana roared angrily. "I despise getting involved in things I hate and that includes drowning in your stupid tears!"
Juvia's tears quickly disappeared as Reana ran and grabbed her shirt. All eyes were placed on Reana and Juvia, wondering what was going to happen. Though it wouldn't be anything new, since Reana always started arguments.
"How many times do I have to tell you?!" Reana shouted, shaking her. "You're bringing my bad side out again!"
"J-Juvia is s-sorry!"
"You lost." Cana simply said with a grin.
"Oh crap!" Reana shouted, covering her mouth.
Mira, not minding the chaos that happened, causally walked towards Wendy and Carla with a smile.
"How do you do? My name is Mirajane."
"Isn't it wonderful, Carla? This is the real Mirajane-san!" Wendy shouted, with amazement.
"I bet that Carla is the same as Happy, but what kind of magic do you use Wendy?"
"What? Lumping me with the he-cat?" Carla shouted angrily.
"I use Sky Magic. I am the Sky Dragon Slayer." Wendy said as everyone held a shocked expression.
"But, she's so little." Reana muttered, looking at Wendy as everyone was psyched at having three Dragon Slayers.
"Today we're having a celebration! A party to welcome Carla and Wendy! Live it up! Live it up!" Makarov shouted as everyone cheered.
Everyone began to have a welcoming party which they used to their advantage. Some brought out musical instruments, while others drank until they couldn't drink anymore. Reana was seen trying to distance herself from Cana, not wanting to know what she had planned for her.
"Hiding won't change the fact that you lost, Reana." Cana said, taking in a barrel of beer.
"Whatever! You won! What do you want?!" Reana shouted crossing her arms.
"It's something you probably won't like, but it can wait for another time."
"T-Tell me! I need to know!" Reana fumed angrily.
"My clothes!" Lucy shouted, covering her bare chest.
"How the hell did Blondie lose her clothes?!"
"That's the spirit Lucy!" Wakaba shouted looking at her.
"Gray-sama, you didn't cheat or anything, right?" Juvia asked looking at him angrily.
"W-what's with her?" Gray asked eying her.
"Shut up!" Reana shouted angrily, not wanting to hear the chatter.
"This sure is a fun guild, isn't it Carla?" Wendy asked, looking around.
Everyone was having a blast while others wished the party never happened.
"I guess…" Carla muttered, looking at Reana about to hurt someone.
