"Flight 492, we are now boarding. Flight 492," the bored voice said over the intercom, but Gajeel didn't care much that his flight was boarding to leave to Magnolia. He was too distracted by the short woman sitting in the same concourse as him and reading a book.

Taking in her details, he noticed that she carried a small carry on with her, and it leaned underneath the weight. Is she really carrying a case full of books? Gajeel wondered with a smirk, watching the woman take a sip of her coffee and slide a hand through her azure hair. Her locks looked bright and shiny, and he would have to ask what hair dye she used to dye her hair that color. Not that he was going to steer away from black, of course…

Her eyes flicked to his for a moment, and she locked gazes with him as if staring him down. He gulped. Man, this woman was intense. Then, her eyes traveled back to her book as she gripped it tightly, reading the next sentence with baited breath.

It was then that Gajeel decided to walk over. He only had a few minutes before his plane departed. Besides, he didn't know whenever he'd see her again.

Sauntering over, Gajeel grinned at the woman who had him so entranced. But her eyes never strayed from the book as she asked him a question.

"What do you want?" she asked, her tone dull yet not entirely uninterested.

That sparked a little irritation within him. He was the great Gajeel Redfox, and people all around Magnolia had heard of his boxing skills. Surely this woman would swoon over him once he fought someone for her honor.

"I wanna know about the book yer readin'," he said, and once he actually read the title he was interested. It had something to do with vampires, but it didn't seem like a waste of his time like most novels did.

"Really?" she asked, her eyes looking to his as she turned to face him. "What interests you?"

"Well, it doesn't sound like bullshit like the rest of em'. It looks like a good read ta me," he said, and the woman laughed lightly. It sounded like a song, melodic but simple. He liked the sound of it, and wished that he could hear it again.

"That is true. I read Twilight in high school and now regret my decision," the woman said, smiling as she turned back to read her book.

There was silence for a few moments, and then Gajeel heard the front desk announcer report that his plane was now boarding. He knew he had to leave, but wanted to do something quickly before he departed.

"Lemme see what this is all about," Gajeel said with a smirk, picking up her book and beginning to read the first couple of sentences. Finding what information he needed and accomplishing his goal, he began to taunt her with it.

"Hey! Give that back!" she shouted, jumping up and down. Gajeel held it with one hand in the air, shaking his head with a grin.

"Jeez, woman. You're so short I doubt you'll ever be able to take the book from me," he replied, and in return she pouted and tapped her foot impatiently.

"You give that book back to me right now or I will have to take measures!" she said, shaking a fist at him. Gajeel roared with laughter.

"Oh yeah? Like what? You gonna climb up and get it?" he teased, but was surprised when he felt a warm body press up against his.

That's exactly what she was doing.

In a flash, she had the book in her hands once more and was switching it out for a new one when Gajeel felt the front desk people staring him in the back of the head. He was the only one left that had not boarded.

"See ya later, shrimp," Gajeel said, turning around and waving to her as he got on the bridge to board the plane.

Despite her annoyance, she sat back down and began to read her book when a small business card fell out of the front pages of the book.

"Huh?" She was confused beyond belief. How did he even stick that business card in there?

Nevertheless, she decided to read it. Curious, Levy flipped it over and began to scan the card.

'Gajeel Redfox,' it read, 'Personal trainer and world-renowned boxer.' Underneath was a phone number and a little more information about him.

She knew she had to jump at the chance to call him in order to tell him that she lived in Magnolia too-she was just waiting for the next flight into town so then she could apply for a job that she had waited for.

And she couldn't wait to tell him something else too-she was a world renowned author and had written the book she was reading.
