Hey it's Natsu here.

So here's the next chapter. Enjoy your chapter cookie.

I don't own Fairy Tail.

Ch 11 a place to sleep.

The six Fairy Tail wizards had just arrived back in Magnolia and began walking toward the guild hall. When they passed Lucy's apartment building Lucy had left wanting to take a shower. Natsu had done the same when they passed the trail leading to his forest home wanting to bring happy back home so the little exceed could rest. The remaining group of Wendy, Erza, Gray, and Connor proceeded to Fairy Tail.

As they walked people stood gawking at the giant black haired hound with red eyes following the group. Cerberus had been happily trotting behind the group and although he was young He seemed very tame. Even so Connor could tell the young pup was excited to explore this new place.

As they arrived at the guildhall a small white fur-ball came flying at Wendy "Wendy! Where have you been?!" Asked a flying white cat floating in the blue haired girls face. The cat wore a red sleeveless blouse with a yellow tie and a pink skirt.

"H-hi Carla" Wendy said nervously.

"Don't hi me Wendy" Carla snapped "I got back yesterday and hear that you were gone on a job when I specifically told you not to me"

"I'm not a little girl anymore Carla" Wendy whined.

Carla huffed and sighed then looked at Connor "and who are you? Another one of these rambunctious hooligans?"

"My name is Connor ma'am" Connor replied politely to which Carla smiled.

"And I am Carla it's very nice to meet you Connor"

After that brief introduction they moved on to a table Carla still scolding Wendy. Erza had left to inform master Makarov they had failed. She seemed very shaken up about it like she wanted someone to punish her.

"So does every dragon slayer have a flying cat other than me?" Connor asked Gray.

"Pretty much yeah. Gajeel has one and you know about Natsu and Wendy the only ones in our guild that don't are you and Laxus" he replied.

"Who's Laxus?"

"He's the master's grandson and one of our most powerful fighters. He uses lightning dragon slayer magic"

"Lightning? Hmm"

"Yeah I bet the only one who could even have a chance beating him would be Erza"

"Woah he's that strong"

Gray nodded "but maybe you could have a chance you did beat Erza after all"

"Nah it was too close were basically evenly matched if it wasn't for my sword I couldn't have beaten her" he admitted.

"I don't know Connor but there's more to you than we've seen I can tell"

"I'm not sure how to take that but thanks. By the way what kind of magic do you use I've seen you use it but how does it work?"

"I use ice maker magic"

"Maker magic?"

"Yeah with maker magic you can make anything with the element you use the only limit I have is what I can imagine"

"That's really cool literally" Connor said laughing to which Gray sweatdropped at the stupid pun. Connor quickly shut up.

They sat in awkward silence listening to Wendy argue with Carla and Cerberus pant beside them. Thankfully Erza had arrived and broken the silence "Alright I've informed the master of our.." she began to shake "...failure. and I'm heading home I'd like to have a shower" and with that she walked to Fairy Hills.

"I'm going too I want to sleep in my bed.." Wendy said adorably then chased after Erza.

"Hey Gray?" Connor asked.

"Yeah?" He replied

"You think I could stay with you tonight?"

"Didn't Lucy let you stay with her?"

"Well she did but I don't want to be a bother to her" he explained

"Um well you see..." Gray began "there's a uh friend of mine coming over tonight"

Connor stared at the ice wizard trying to figure out what he meant then his eyes widened "oh okay um you do that man I don't wanna get in the way or anything"

"It's not like that!" Gray snapped.

"It's cool Gray I'm just gonna go, enjoy your evening" Connor said getting up and walking out. As he walked out he could hear a woman shout "Gray darling!" And he chuckled silently.

Connor and Cerberus wandered through the city enjoying the sights. And as evening came and the lights came on they searched frantically for a place to sleep. Eventually they found a park with an enormous tree in the center of it. The two of them leaned against the tree trying to get comfortable. It was windy and cold that night and the tree didn't make a very good pillow. Connor was shivering trying to wrap up in his cloak Cerberus came up to his master and wrapped around him keeping him warm. "Thanks Cerberus" Connor said to which Cerberus replied with a lick to his face covering it in saliva "were gonna have to work on that..."

Even though he was warm and now had Cerberus as a comfy pillow Connor couldn't sleep. He was weirded out at the fact that, according to Gray, so many unknown creatures had been popping up in Fiore. He began to wonder if maybe he had something to do with it but quickly shook it off not wanting to think of it anymore. Then he thought of Luna and frowned as the moon rose. Pushing that thought away as well he tried to fall asleep.

Lucy had walked past the park coming back from the guild hall. After she showered at home she had decided to see everyone else but when she had arrived and learned everyone had already left she decided to go back home. As she passed the park she could see a big black bundle of fur and instantly thought "Cerberus" and headed over.

Connor heard Lucy's footsteps and he snapped awake fists aflame ready to fight whoever dared sneak up on him. He relaxed when he saw Lucy staring at him.

"Little jumpy?" She asked.

"Old habits" he replied blushing a little.

"Uh huh. What are you doing out here?" She asked "I said you could stay the night"

"I didn't want to be a bother"

"You won't be. If I can deal with Natsu breaking into my apartment all the time I can deal with you" she said with a smile "besides I still haven't heard the rest of that story you were telling me"

"Oh yeah. Okay then I'll stay but um... what do we do with Cerberus?"

"Um... well maybe he could sleep on the roof I've seen him climb that high"

"You okay with that boy?" Connor asked his hellhound friend to which he got a bark and a tail wag. "He can do that"

"Then let's go" Lucy said leading the way.

Soon they arrived and Connor had sent Cerberus to the roof where he curled up comfortably. Lucy unlocked the door and walked inside with Connor behind her. When they got into her apartment she flopped on her bed and Connor sat on the desk chair.

"Okay so tell me the rest please" Lucy said.

"Alright I'll tell you" Connor said beginning to re-tell his story.
