Just a reminder, we still need suggestions for names (In the previous chapter). We need to change it because in the first few chapters Gail and I weren't working together... But now that we are, the name needs to be connected to both of us. Anyway, this chapter is going to be BIG! So we hope you enjoy


Gail's POV~ At park. Still.


Me and Natsu's embrace was interrupted by a loud cracking noise. I let go of Natsu and look over at the egg.

"Guys, guys, look! It's hatching!"

The egg was now trembling and the bits of eggshell are starting to flake off. Natsu wipes away his tears and smiles at the egg.

I pick up the shaking egg and set it in my lap. There is enough of a hole to see through at the top. When I look inside, I see a cat, curled up on the bottom of the egg. It's pink, with a noticeably bushy tail, and a little white tuft on it's forehead, and on the tip of her tail. She looks kind of like a fox. Natsu peers down too, and when he sees it he breaks into a grin.

"What should I do now?" I ask Natsu, not knowing how to take care of an exceed.

Just then, the cat pops out of the egg! One look and I realized it's a girl! She flies up into the air in a blinding light, then glides over my head and lands. I pet her behind her ears and she archs her back. "Nya!"

"Aww so kawaiiii!" I squeal and pick her up from my head, and hold her out in front of me. "Look, Natsu! I got my own!"

"Aww she's cute!" Natsu smiles and pats her head.

Happy's pupils become dilated and he creeps up close to the newly hatched cat. "Want a fish?"

"I want a cupcake!" The little female cat squeals.

"What will you call her?" Natsu asks, stroking the tuft of hair on her head.

"I'm going to call you Fuchsia!" I squeal and hug her to my chest.

"Yo, Gail. I've been thinking. I think we should form a team."

I look over at him with wide eyes. "Really? You want me on your team?

"Yeah. With the right training you could be really powerful. And we think you're nice!" Natsu smiles widely.

I nod vigorously and give him a high five.


Brook's POV~ Inside the guild, egg is starting to break.


Gray and I set the egg on an open table, and I'm squirming with anticipation.

"I know what I'll name it. I've thought about this before." I say, and smile at the egg.

"What?"

"See, when I lived in another city of Fiore, we all talked about things we wanted. I wanted a pet dinosaur. Dinosaurs seemed to bring back memories of my mother, so when I saw this I felt a special connection." I say, and hold up a little purple dinosaur footie suit. "Also, when I was younger, I got a dinosaur plush. I named it Sauria, and I carried it with me wherever I went. I still have it, to this day."

"Who's going to wear it...? The suit, I mean."

"Well, at the start I was thinking about putting it on Dakota in his puppy form, but this'll work much better. Natsu said it's like the egg Happy came from, right?"

"Sure. I guess that makes sense..."

And suddenly, without warning, the egg starts shuddering and the eggshells snap off. Lying on the bottom fragment, there is a little orange and brown striped kitten. It seems like it's still asleep, so I take the dinosaur costume and quickly put it on the kitten.

"What the hell, Brook... It literally just hatched..."

The little kitten then opens its eyes and floats upward in a bright light. She then slowly falls forward, and lands on my shoulder.

I scratch under her chin and she purrs with pleasure. "Rawr!" She cries and holds her paws up like a t-rex.

"See, Brook, look what you've done. Now your cat is retarded and thinks she's a dinosaur."

"Watch your mouth! I can assure you Sauria has always been a dinosaur inside! Besides, it's too cute. Not even you can resist the temptation."

By then the rest of the guild was crowding around the table, trying to get a good look at Sauria.

"So you've already named it and you just got it?! Jesus Christ Brook..."

"I told you I've been planning this. Deal with it. At least you're lucky enough to have such an adorable thing in your life."

Once I say that Gray's cheeks turn slightly pink. "You're talking about the cat, right?"

"Yeah, what else would I be talking about?" I ask and tilt my head at him. I can't fight off the grin that plays onto my face. To add the effect, I bat my eyelashes.

Gray suddenly turns bright pink and says, "Of course, I knew that."

"Gray, you're blushing!" I laugh.

"I don't know what you're talking about. The cat is just too cute."

"Sure, I mean, yes, she is." I say and blush slightly.

For a minute we just kind of stand there in silence. The guild is cheering and holding Sauria over their heads like she was a goddess. But then again, she is.

Right then and there, Gail storms into the guild and holds a cat above her head. "HEY CHECK IT OUT EVERYONE! I GOT ONE TOO!" Everyone in the guild then crowds around her and she's just laughing hysterically.

"Wow. She totally stole my thunder..."

Gray taps my shoulder, and I turn to face him. "What is it?"

"Well... Want to be a team? We work well together."

My cheeks suddenly feel like they're on fire. "Really? I'd love to be in a team with you!"

"Yeah, well, it's only because we can take in some serious cash. Otherwise I wouldn't team up with you." Gray mutters but his face is also burning pink.

Dakota then bounds forward and 'examines' Sauria. His tail is going 100 miles a minute, and he's making little whining sounds. I'm sure he wants to play with her.

"Good dog."


Gail's POV~ In their shared dorm room


"Ahhhh I'm tired." Brook sighs, and plops down with Sauria on her bed. "I can't believe how much has happened in such a short amount of time..."

"No kidding." I say, playing with Fuchsia's paws. "It's been like 3 days, and yet we've already done so much..."

"Loke and I won the scavenger hunt." Claire smiles and holds up her prize. The free mealticket, for an entire week. "I'm about to eat all the vegetarian burgers in the WORLD!"

"*Guild, you mean" Brook sighs and then clubs Claire over the head. "This is probably why people here are stupid. They don't have school or work to go to."

Suddenly there's a knocking at the door. I groan and drag myself to the door. I see Levy standing in the doorway.

"Oh, hey Levy! What brings you here?"

"Can I talk to you guys in my dorm room? This is important." Levy says quietly, looking at her feet.

"Sure. Lead the way."


Natsu's POV~


"Oi, Mira, do you know where Gail and Brook are staying?"

"They're staying at the girls dorm. They're pooling all their money together on one room."

"Sweet. Can we have a key? I want to talk to Gail."

"Sure. But promise me you won't do anything stupid."

Mira hands me the key, and smiles.

"Thanks Mira! I'll bring it back pretty soon."

Gray and I meet up at the guild entrance and walk in silence toward the girls' dorm.


Brook's POV~ In Levy's room


We're in Levy's room, and I'm in awe of her collection.

"Jeez, Levy. These are some big books..." Claire mutters rubs the back of her neck.

"Yeah. I've read them all though, so if you want to borrow one go ahead." Levy sighs and sits down at her desk. "However, that's not why I invited you over..." She spins around in her chair and shoves a book into Gail's face.

"Is that... My book?" Gail asks, and feels for it in her back pocket, her eyes wide in shock. "Oh, shit."

"Yeah, I found it. Lucky for you but also unlucky. See, I know all the editing companies and I've never heard of this publisher. I did a quick search at the local library, and you wouldn't believe it. There were no results." Levy frowns and looks at the back of the book. "And, to make it even more puzzling, it names a country I don't know. A city I don't know. It could be made up, but this is Nonfiction. It says it on the front. You got it from a library."

I look over at Gail and she's just frozen. Staring at Levy and she gulps. "What's your point?"

"I don't believe you're from Fiore, or Earthland for that matter. Who are you all?" Levy asks and looks over at us.

Gail falls to her knees and covers her mouth.

I gulp and turn my attention back toward Levy. "Levy... I can answer all of your questions... I can tell you. But you have to promise that you won't tell. If you told... Well... Our lives would fall apart."

"Go on..." Levy gestures and sits down on her chair once more.

I tell her about our lives back in our real home. I tell her about our families, about the recent news on the outbreak. I tell her about escaping, and about waking up in the alleyway. I tell her all of this, but I saved one last detail. I could never tell her that. It would be too much... It could result in serious consequences.

"So, you're telling me, you traveled here from another realm?"

"Yeah, you could say that."

"Whoa, this is a lot of information to wrap my head around. So, tell me, are you ever going to go back?"

I share a look with Gail and Claire. "Actually... We're planning on going back tomorrow..."

Levy covers her mouth and reaches out to hug Gail. "I'm so sorry... I won't tell. Your secret is safe with me."

"Th-Thank you, Levy. By the way, can I have my book? I should probably go return it. it's overdue." Gail smiles sadly and reaches for the book.

"Actually... If you don't mind, can I hold on to it for a while? You can go back and forth still, right?"

Gail nods and wipes the tears from her eyes. "Yeah. Anyway, we'll probably be back in 2 days. Assuming we don't get in any trouble while we're there..."

Levy smiles and nods. She puts the book on her shelf stays there for a second. "Be careful."


Natsu's POV~


We slowly back away from the door of Levy's dorm room in absolute shock.
