I heard a female voice say, "Hey, who's this guy?" and I turned around to see a blonde girl and a pink haired guy with a blue cat. Walking on its hind legs. That's not something you'd see every day. "Is he a guild member?" said the blonde girl.
"No, I've never seen him before. Hey, guy, are you a new member? Man, a lot of things happen when you're gone for a day."
"Well, I just arrived here from a faraway land and I wanted to join this guild. What's it called? Oh, Fairy, uh, Tail. Huh. Are you two members here?"
"I am, but she's not yet. I mean, she's overeager to join. Uh, what's your name?"
"Vinny."
"Nice to meet ya! I'm Natsu!" He shook my hand. His hand was hot. Like fire, almost.
"I'm Lucy. Nice to meet you." She also shook my hand.
Suddenly, without warning, Natsu ran towards the doors and kicked it open. "I'M BAACK!" he yelled.
I was a little startled by his sudden actions. "Jeez, he was talking about overeagerness, he shouldn't be talking," I said to Lucy.
"I know, right?" she responded.
"That's Natsu for ya!" said a high pitched voice. And it wasn't Lucy's. The only other being around besides me and Lucy was the blue cat. Did it seriously just...
"Was that you?" I asked the cat.
"Me? Yeah! I was just telling you that Natsu is always like that. His firey personality fits his magic perfectly."
"First it's blue. Then it's standing on its hind legs. Now it's talking. What next, is it going to sprout wings?" I said to Lucy.
Lucy only nodded. "S-seriously?" I asked. Nod.
"That... is awesome! What's your name, cat?"
"My name is Happy! Nice to meet you!"
"You definetly look like happiness to me, that's for sure."
"Aye!"
"What is it with you and the 'aye!'?" said Lucy, annoyed. I didn't get it.
In the guild, there was a rowdy fight going on between guild members. I didn't know for sure, but I was willing to bet that Natsu started it. I tried my best to weave past the rowdiness and went looking for the master of the guild. I saw Lucy talking to a cute girl with a dress and then I saw Natsu fighting with some shirtless guy with black hair and a blue symbol on his chest. It looked like a bird with long legs about to kick something. Then I saw the same thing on Natsu's arm, and then on another guy's arm as well. I wanted to know about those symbols. I wanted to know what the guild was and the people in it. I saw Lucy and that girl talking, so I decided to work up the courage to speak to her. The fight was getting louder, so I had to talk a bit loud.
"Hello." I said to the girl.
"Oh, hi. Are you new?"
"Yeah. Uh, what's your name?"
"My name is Mirajane, but you can just call me Mira. Everyone calls me that. How about you? What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Vinny."
"Well, it's great to meet you, Vinny."
"I just had a question Mira, because you know, you seem like you've been here a while. What are those little symbols that people have on their bodies? I saw some shirtless guy have a blue one on his chest and Natsu had one on his arm."
"Oh, that's our guild's symbol. Anyone who is new to Fairy Tail always gets a Guild Stamp to clarify that they're a part of Fairy Tail. If you're looking to join Fairy Tail, then you'll get one too. You can get it anywhere on your body."
"Cool. So how do I join the guild?"
"If you'd like to join this guild, then you can talk to our guild master."
"Who's the guild master?" I turned to see a huge guy had been hit so hard, he landed on top of Mira, who fainted.
"...! Oh my god! Are you alright? Why is everyone so crazy?"
"Ah, they're always like this. Ugh..." Mira fainted once more.
"Augh! Don't die, Mirajane!" screamed Lucy.
I looked around. Tables were broken and turned upside down.
"Messy..."
I saw a cloud of dust and a bunch of people fighting in it. Something flew at my head, but missed.
"Crazy..."
I saw some guy wearing glasses with a green coat. Two girls seemed infatuated with him.
"Mushy..."
I saw that shirtless guy. He had his underpants stolen by Natsu.
"Weird..."
"Everyone here is insane! Besides Mirajane, there's not one single sane person in this guild!" screamed Lucy.
"Hey, I'm completely sane, unlike the rest of these monkies. Woah!" A bottle flew by my head, in which I quickly dodged in time. Suddenly, a giant shadowy figure, most likely the guild master, rose up and yelled at the guild for making such a huge ruckus. Lucy nearly fainted.
"A MONSTER!" screamed Lucy.
"Oh my god! He's huge! Who the hell is that?"
"Oh, you were here master!" said Mira.
"Master!?" gasped Lucy.
"Ahahahahaha!" laughed Natsu. "Everyone's scared out of their pants! Victory is mine-" Suddenly, the master stomped his enormous foot down onto Natsu. Lucy grimaced.
The giant figure looked over at me and Lucy. "Oh? It looks like we have new recruits!" Suddenly, He shrank down to a very small size, only coming up to my waist.
"He's... tiny!" gasped Lucy.
"Wait a second! He's this guild's master?"
"That's right. This is Fairy Tail's guild master, Makarov Dreyar," said Mira.
Makarov tried a backflip onto a high ledge but failed by hitting the railing. But he quickly pulled himself up anyway.
"All of you! You've done it again!" He stuck out a large stack of papers. "Look at all this paperwork the Council sent me! These are all complaints from them!"
There's a Magic Council? I thought.
"All you guys do is make them angry at me!" Makarov clenched his teeth and balled his fists. What was he going to do now?
"However!" The stack of papers in his hand burst into flames. He threw it into the air and Natsu jumped up and caught it with his mouth.
"What the hell...?" Did I just see that? I thought, dumbfounded.
"To hell with the Council! Listen up! Magic is an unreasonable power, but it is born from reason! It is not some miraculous ability, it is the combination of the spirit that flows within us with the spirit that flows through nature itself, incarnated in physical form!"
What does he mean? I thought.
"It takes a strong mind and focus! In fact, magic is the pouring out of one's entire soul! One cannot progress in the way of Magic by being mindful of the watchful eyes over it! So I say, don't be afraid of those idiots from the Council! Follow the path you believe in! That's what it means to be a Fairy Tail wizard!" Makarov held up his arm and pointed his finger in the air. Everyone did the same except for Lucy and me because we didn't know what it meant. But she couldn't help making a big grin. I smiled a bit too.
Later, Lucy and I had gotten to know each other a bit more and we had gotten our guild stamps. Lucy had gotten hers on her right hand in pink. It took me a little bit, but I eventually decided to get one on my right bicep in blue-violet, my favorite color.
As crazy as the guild was, as weird and rowdy it was, I decided...
This was where I belonged. I was gonna love it.
