A/N: Hey guys, what's up? Sorry that it's been so long. I want to say that's partially due to me having writers block, but that's not entirely the case…Anyways, I know a lot of you are wondering when your OCS will pop in, but unfortunately I can't really answer that. I was thinking of having some sort of guild alliance to present more OCS, but for now just know that they'll come in play eventually.

Chapter 7: Team Arklight

"Ahhhhh!" Sienna shrieked in fear.

"Ahhhhh!" Lj responded, totally flabbergasted.

"AAAAAHHHH!" They both cried simultaneously.

In the week following her trip to Pyrrah, Sienna had found herself a nice and cozy apartment on the opposite side of Magnolia. Though her new and affordable home was quite small, it was surprisingly comfortable, and the perfect size for its effeminate accommodator. Complete with one bedroom, a kitchen shared with living space, and an eccentric view of the city, our Celestial Mage was now able to unwind in a refreshing bath…that is until a certain blonde and his fairy had intruded on her privacy.

"Lj, what the hell are you screaming for?!" Sienna shouted, hurling a bar of soap in his direction, "No, more importantly, what the hell are you doing in my bathroom?!"

Frozen and still in shock from the sight of a naked Sienna, Lj allowed the soap to smack him upside his head, as his fairy, Clementine, held her stomach to repress a fit of giggles, "First of all, I didn't scream, I hollered…there's a difference. And secondly, I only hollered because you startled me!"

"I startled you?!" Sienna exclaimed, making sure she emphasized the word you, as she threw a slew of toiletries that were in her reach at him, "You're the one who nearly gave me a heart attack!"

The blonde dodged the rest her projectiles and rubbed the back of his neck; his face turning red in the process, as his eyes averted to stare at the tiled granite floor, "Sorry, I didn't mean any harm, and it's not like I'm a pervert, or anything, I swear! It's just that…I heard you singing and…I didn't think you'd be…you know?"

Finally realizing what he was trying to say, Sienna gasped and swiftly crossed her arms over her chest. She couldn't believe! Not only had Lj seen her in her birthday suit, but his little partner had as well! Blushing, she immersed herself deeper into the water that filled her tub to make sure she wasn't further exposed, "Could…could you pass me my towel?"

"Clementine?"

The green haired fairy nodded and went to grab the plushy fabric that was laid across the sink, handing it to her.

"When you're done, there's someone who'd like to meet you."

"O-okay."

As Lj shut the door behind him, Sienna dropped her arms and released a breath she hadn't known she was holding. Stepping out of the tub, she put on her robe that had been hanging on the shower hook, and wrapped the towel about her head. Drying her hair as fast as she could, only one thing seemed to be racing through her mind: she would definitely have to invest in a shower curtain.


Meanwhile At The Fairy Tail Guild Hall...

"Hey, Ari, what are you doing?"

"Shhh!"

"Gaaah!"

Recomposing himself from being hauled over the bar's counter, Carlos sat up and eyed the happy-go-lucky teen suspiciously, "What the-"

"Shhh!" Arrina iterated, placing a finger to his lips, before quickly looking around, "I don't want word to get out yet."

"I knew it! I knew you were in love with me!"

Arrina tilted her head to the side, confused, before smiling brightly, "Aww, I like your shirt too!"

Carlos let out a sigh, as a sweatdrop began to trickle its way down his forehead, "So, why are you hiding down here?"

"Oh, right! Tomorrow I'm throwing a surprise welcome party for Sienna! Do you think that's a good idea?"

"Yeah, but where are you going to have it?"

Arrina's heterochromic eyes lit up, "Right here, of course!"

"Okay, but what if Sienna decides to swing by before you finish?" Carlos asked, informing her of a possible and inconvenient circumstance, "Won't that ruin the surprise?"

Arrina paused to think for a moment before snapping her fingers with a grin, "I believe Lj can take care of that."


"So, you're the new girl everyone's been talking about, huh?"

Upon exiting her bathroom, Sienna was alarmed to find a young woman, a year less than twenty, who was relaxing on her living room sofa. She was pale, but also pretty; her white hair fell in wavy locks, past her waist, and was decorated in a variety of different charms, ribbons and feathers. Her side-swept bangs hovered graciously above her light blue eyes, while the top half outfit was quite revealing; a black bustier underneath a studded leather jacket which was open to display the purple Fairy Tail guild mark on the right side of her chest. Her bottom half sported floral patterned tights under gray shorts, and a pair black boots, while her neck adorned a woven dream catcher, and her ears dotted with purple gem crystals. Overall Sienna could say her look was unique, to say the least.

"Hello," Sienna was able say after what felt like an eternity of silence, "You must be...um..."

"Nicolette, but you can call me Niki." The woman answered sweetly, "Me, you and Lj are all on the same team."

"Team?" Sienna questioned, both baffled and lost. She thought everyone in Fairy Tail was on the same team, "What do you mean?"

"You see, Sienna, everyone belonging to a guild are considered nakama." Niki explained, "But specific people inside that guild branch off and form teams with whomever they get along with, understand?"

She nodded, "I guess that makes sense. So, what's the name of our team?"

"Team Arklight," Niki annouced, her face gleaming with pride, "It's a combination of me and Lj's magic, but if you want, I'm sure we can mix in yours as well?"

"No, it's fine." Sienna replied, as went to take a seat on the armchair across from Niki, "In fact, I actually kind of like it."

A/N: Next chapter is when I'll be setting the stage for the guild war, so make sure you stay tuned! I also might (key word 'might') have a double update next time, but that's only if my laziness and ADD doesn't stop me. BTW I'm working on a drawing of Lj and Clementine, but they're not as easy as I had hoped. I do have a drawing of Vulpecula up though, so check that out before my link fails. Nicolette 'Niki' La'Vivienne belongs to MakinBaconPancakes
