Here is chapter seven and we finally get to meet the Fairy Tail gang. Also thank all of you that favorited, followed and reviewed this story. I'm really greatful!

"Lucyyy!" Levy shouted under Lucy's window.

Lucy opened it and ordered the guard on the door to let her in. The bluenette quickly climbed the stairs and entered Lucy's room.

"I have a date with Gajeel!" She announced and the two girls hugged and screamed in excitement. "I need you to help me get ready."

"Of course. Although, I don't have any clothes that might suit you." Lucy rubbed her chin as she scanned Levy's form.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I have just the thing."

Lucy helped Levy dress and apply her make up. Lucy borrowed her a pair of sandals, which fitted perfectly with her clothes. Then, Levy had to return to her house, since that was their meeting place.


It was almost seven when Levy decided to exit her house and go wait for Gajeel at the other side of the bridge. She said her goodbyes to Droy and Romeo, who happened to notice her. When she walked over to the bridge, she saw him leaning with his back on a tree, his eyes checking the sundown. Being a dragon slayer, his advanced hearing allowed him to hear the light steps he knew they belonged to Levy. He grinned and decided to turn to look at her. But he was completely stunned. It was like a whole different person in front of him. She was wearing the dress he had bought for her, a pair of red sandals and the headband. This was definitely his favorite part of her attire. It held her hair out of her face, leaving only a pair of curly locks on each side. She also had a little make up on, not that she needed it, since her natural beauty was breathtaking. The beauty of the sunset didn't even count against hers.

He shook his head to clear his mind and nodded for her to follow. They walked side by side, never exchanging any words. Levy also noticed he was well dressed. It was the first time she saw him like that and she had to admit he looked very handsome. He had a pair of black pants, not his usual baggy ones, but those that fit perfectly on his tall form, and black shoes and a white shirt whose sleeves when folded up his forearms. She giggled when her eyes reached his hair that were definitely combed.

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing. I-I just like the cologne you're wearing." She lied and told the truth at the same time. The smell reached her nose and she inhaled deeply, enjoying the odor of him and the fragrance combined.

The two reached the theater and sat on their seats. They seemed to quite enjoy the show, being a romantic/comedy one. Lucy, seated next to Levy noticed the two blushing and stealing glances of each other when the actors did or said something romantic.

"Lucy, we'll get you home." Levy offered to Lucy after the show ended.

"No, no. you don't have to. I'll wait for my father to finish and we'll go together." Lucy tried to persuade them. She really wanted to give the two a little privacy. From the little time that she saw them together she knew they needed a push. She would let them be tonight and she would take action from tomorrow.

Gajeel and Levy walked slowly into the dark empty streets of Magnolia, heading somewhere she didn't actually know. Gajeel's eyes were wary of their surroundings and his hands in his pockets. Levy looked at his unavailable hands and sighed, wanting deep inside to hold hands with him. Like he read her thoughts, he removed his one hand from the pocket, ruffled his hair and then he set it back down. Levy, without giving it much thought, reached and entwined his hand in his, and he responded. She missed his confused expression while trying to hide her own blush.

"Um, Gajeel? Where are we going? It's pretty dark already and I have to return home."

"Don't worry Shrimp. I'm not gonna let anyone get you. Or I'm not gonna eat you, if that's what you're scarred of." He teased. "You trust me, right?"

"Of course."

After ten minutes of walking they reached a building and stopped in front of it. Gajeel reached the door knob, which had a fairy like symbol curved on it, and twisted it, opening the door for her.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail, Shrimp." He placed his hand on her back, prompting her to walk inside.

"A bar?" She asked, confused.

"Only half of it." He showed her the way upstairs.

The bar was empty and the chairs were upside down on the tables. Only a man was behind the counter, cleaning a couple of glasses. "Oi Kurogane! What is this?" He asked.

"Shut up, blondie. She's with me." Gajeel ignored him. "Don't worry about him. He doesn't like strangers and he's snob as fuck." He whispered to Levy's ear, which made her jump.

"I don't mind. I know that you have to protect your family from strangers." The two now reached the second floor, which was full of dorms. At the end of the hall, there was an open door and a man standing in front of it.

"Fight me Gajeel!" He shouted and in a matter of seconds, Gajeel dashed and started sparring with the pink-haired man.

Levy walked towards them, only to be amazed by the large room before her. It was a simply decorated living room, with multiple couches, tables and a kitchen at the corner.

"Don't be scarred. They do that every time they see each other. Come and sit with us." A dark-blue haired girl caught Levy's hand and pulled her to the couch.

"H-hello." Levy said shyly.

"Don't be shy, girl. Come drink with us." A woman holding a wine bottle said.

"I'm Wendy and this is Cana. The boy fighting with Gajeel is Natsu. They do that a lot to figure out who is stronger but they're just like brothers.

"I'm Happy and this is Carla." A little boy holding a girl's hand said. They both didn't look over seven years old.

"Hello!" Levy greeted them with a smile on her face.

"So, did you meet them all, Shrimp?" A messed up Gajeel said, causing Levy to giggle. His clothes were dirty and ruffled and his hair was all over the place.

"Brother!" A ten year old, dark skinned boy ran and jumped on Gajeel. He caught him and tossed him to the air, both laughing.

"Hey there, buddy." Gajeel snuggled with the boy and he, in return, wrapped his small arms around his neck.

"Shorty, this is my brother Lily. Lily, this is Levy." He introduced the two.

"Wow, you're really beautiful." Lily said and Levy blushed.

"Well, thank you."

"Lily?" A voice was heard from another room. Gajeel froze, fear filling his eyes as Lily jumped off him and ran to where the voice came from.

Natsu walked over to him and tapped his shoulder. "Nice knowing ya, metal head."

The man entered the living room and everyone stood still and silent. He was tall and muscular, with silver hair and red eyes, just like Gajeel's. He looked at Gajeel angrily and then his eyes averted to Levy, who felt a shiver run up her spine.

"Brother." Another man appeared behind the first and snapped everyone out of their staring. This one had red hair and wore a scarf, similar to Natsu's so she thought he was his father.

Gajeel moved and stood protectively in front of Levy. His father sighed and looked at him with a concerning glance now. "May we talk for a moment?"

Gajeel gave a reassuring look at Levy and followed his father. Natsu's father fist pumped his shoulder and smiled. Gajeel entered the hall and saw his father in one of the rooms, standing in the middle of it with his arms folded on his chest. He entered and closed the door behind him.

"What were you thinking?" He asked with a more concerned voice than angry.

"She will keep our secret. I trust her completely."

"Son, I'm worried. About our safety. How do you know she's not one of those hunters? Or that things won't turn out the same as last week, with Lisanna."

"It wasn't Bixlow's fault. And the Shrimp will not betray us. I know it. You have to trust me on this. But I cannot explain the reason to you." Gajeel looked somewhere else to avoid his father's gaze.

"Alright. I have no choice but to respect your judgment." He stood in front of his son.

"Thank you, dad." Gajeel grinned and turned to leave.

"Gajeel. Is she-" Then it hit the older dragon.

"Yes." Gajeel interrupted, knowing what his father was going to ask.

When Gajeel returned to the living room, he saw Natsu having an arm around Levy's shoulders and all together laughing. He growled and dashed to them, grabbing Natsu from his scarf and shoving him away from Levy.

"How dare you touch her?" He shouted.

"Gajeel, put him down. He didn't do anything." Levy placed her hands on his arms. 'Why am I excusing myself?' She thought. As soon as Gajeel looked at her, he eased and placed Natsu on his feet. He heard a couple of girls gossiping him, but he decided to let go.

Natsu's father decided to break the silence by clapping his hands and standing. "So Gajeel, why don't you introduce us to your friend?"

"Yes, uncle. This is Levy. Levy this is my uncle, Igneel. Fire brain's dad." Gajeel explained, slightly not amused.

The two exchanged a handshake and a smile. "Uncle?" Levy turned to Gajeel.

"Yeah, my father, Igneel and Wendy's mother, Grandeeney, are siblings. They run this place along with Gildarts, Cana's father, and the master, Makarov."

"That's right. This place will one day be in the hands of these brats." Levy stiffened at the familiar voice. "I'm sorry for my behavior earlier. We must protect our family, this is why I'm wary of outsiders." Levy eased as he now was welcoming and kind.

"But she's not an outsider anymore, right Metalicana?" Igneel raised an eyebrow at his brother, implying something.

"Yeah, you're one of us now Levy."

"Yeah."

"Welcome to Fairy Tail, Levy!"

The rest of the members cheered for her and decided to throw a party, the reason for which was unknown. Levy also met Mira and Elfman, who happened to be the girl's siblings. They seemed so kind and guessed their little sister would be the same. She was also introduced to the blond guy from the bar, Laxus, who was Mira's husband and the master's grandson. During the party, Levy could feel a pair of eyes on her. She looked around only to see a rather gloomy woman staring at her.

"Hello." Levy simply said.

"Are you with Gajeel-kun?" The woman said.

"We're friends."

"If you hurt Gajeel-kun, you'll have to deal with Juvia." And with that she was gone.

"Don't worry about her. She's always like this." Cana placed her arm on Levy's shoulder.

"She seems to care a lot for Gajeel."

"Well, looks like someone's jealous." Cana teased.

"N-no, what are you talking about? I'm not, it's not like Gajeel and I-" Levy sweated hard.

"You don't have to worry. They're like siblings. She one of the few people Gajeel allows to get close."

"What are you telling to the Shrimp, drunk woman?" Gajeel loomed over Cana.

"Relax, she just got ambushed by Juvia." Cana caught levy's hand and dragged her with her.

"Let me have a little talk with that rain woman." Gajeel growled and headed upstairs.

Hope you bros enjoyed. If you did, go ahead and give a review and a favorite. See ya in the next one.
