~Lucy Heartiflia's POV~
Uwaaaah~I can't believe it! She's really here! The super famous Akura Goldston! She's so beautiful. I wished I could be like her. I watched her went down the stage and joined the crowd. Alright! It's time to impress her and become real famous!
"Lucccyyyy! You're thinking something evil again." Happy said as he flew behind me.
"Shut up, cat." I grumbled. "And what's so evil with trying to impress someone and becoming famous?"
"Natsu! Lucy's liking a girl!"
"Lucy's what now?" Natsu asked as he gobbled on the food he got from the buffet table.
"Eeeeeehhh? You're eating without me? How could you, Natsu!" Happy cried and ran away.
"Oi! Happy! Come back here!"
I facepalmed. "Those two..."
"Oh." I turned to see Akura looking at me. "You're Lucy Heartfilia, right?"
"Eh? Me?" I pointed at myself. She nodded. "Uh...yeah...that's me." Deep inside, I was panicking. What should I do? What should I say? She walked toward me and held out her hand. I took it.
"I'm glad to meet you, Ms. Lucy. I'd known your father from some formal gathering I once attended." She smiled sadly. "I'm sorry for what happened. It's unfortunate I wasn't able to attend the burial. Your father's a hardworking person. Are you feeling fine, Ms. Lucy?"
I smiled sadly. "It's alright. Don't worry, I'm fine. I just miss him. Please, just call me Lucy."
"That's good to hear, Lucy. Call me Akura. No need for formalities."
"Akura-neeeeee~" We looked down and saw Asuka holding out a pink and white stargazer lily. "For you."
Akura lowered herself and took the flower. "Arigato!" She pulled out the pink diamond ring from her finger and placed it on Asuka's. "Here you go. It looks good on you."
"Uwaaaah~" Asuka's eyes sparkled in delight. "Arigato Akura-nee!" Akura smiled. Asuka ran toward Alzack and Bisca. "Otousan! Okaasan! Look! Akura-nee gave me a pretty ring!"
Akura stood up and watched them. "She's such a sweet child. She'll have a good future someday."
"You love children, don't you Akura-san?" I asked.
She nodded. "Yes. After all, I have two cute troublesome little brothers."
Brothers? I was about to ask when Erza popped up in front of me, holding a marker.
"Akura-san, could you please sign my dress?" Erza asked.
"Sure. No problem." She took the marker and signed on the biggest ribbon around Erza's waist. Erza's eyes shone in amazement. Suddenly, Levy appeared beside Erza.
"Please sign my book too."
"Sure."
"Ms. Akura, please sign this wine barrel."
"Ahahaha. Sure."
Within a few seconds, my guildmates had gathered around with things of their own to be signed by Akura. As I pondered on what had suddenly happened, I noticed the First Master sitting on the railing of the second floor. She was looking intently at Akura who was crowded at all sides. I was about to climb up and ask what's up when Gray approached me with Juvia hovering next to him.
"The guild's getting a bit hyper today. And noisy."
"Gray-sama! Your clothes!" Juvia exclaimed.
Gray looked down. He seemed surprised to find himself wearing nothing. A chair went flying out of nowhere and hit Gray point blank.
"GRAY! YOU PERVERT! PUT SOME CLOTHES ON! YOU'RE DISTURBING MY MEAL!" Natsu shouted angrily.
"SHUT UP FLAME BRAIN!" Gray shot back.
Natsu climbed up the table. His fists aflame. "YOU WANNA GO ICE PRINCESS?!"
"BRING IT ON YOU HOT-HEADED BASTARD!"
The two charged against each other, exchanging punches and magic attacks.
"H-Hey! You guys! Akura is here! Master said that-AAAAAAHHH!" I ducked as Gray went flying in my direction.
"What in Fiore is that noise?!" Erza asked. "You two again! Come here and I will-" A table hit her on the face. "Natsu...Gray..."
Uh oh. I inched away as Erza's face darkened. Dual swords appeared on her hands.
"COME HERE YOU TWO IDIOTS! I WILL PUNISH YOU!" She charged at the two. As Erza chased the two, various objects were thrown out, hitting some of my guildmates who immediately joined the fight. Pretty soon, the guild returned to its everyday chaos.
"FIGHT ME IF YOU'RE A MAN!"
"SHUT UP! I'M A WOMAN!"
"I WANT BEER! GIVE ME BEER!"
"YOU LOOK IDIOTIC IN THAT SUIT!"
"WHO THE HELL THREW THAT TABLE AT ME?!"
"YOU'RE SO NOISY, YOU BASTARDS!"
"TAKE THAT!"
"WEAR SOME CLOTHES, YOU PERVERT!"
"I WILL PUNISH ALL OF YOU!"
I quickly climbed up the second floor as porcelain vases broke and scattered in sharp bits. I saw Mirajane helping Akura up the second floor, followed by Wendy and Carla and Master already crying at the mess. As Mirajane climbed up, she was untimely dragged into the chaos.
"Mira-san!" Wendy called out.
"I will be alright!" Mirajane waved before she was carried away by the tides of the fighting mages.
Akura giggled beside me. "So this is really what Fairy Tail is, huh?"
My shoulders slumped. "Yeah. Pretty much. Always fighting at the smallest reasons."
Akura clapped her hands. "Fairy Tail's fun! You guys are very lively."
"Yeah. Too lively, though." We stood there watching as the other Fairy Tail mages bashed each other's heads and wrecked the guild.
Soon after the fight ceased, Master Makarov ordered everyone to start cleaning up as punishment. Especially the ones who started the fight.
"I apologize for their misbehavior, Ms. Akura Goldston." Master said for the hundredth time, bowing low.
"No. No. It's alright, Master Makarov." Akura said.
"I'm afraid it's not. It should be an enjoyable day for you, Ms. Akura but these troublesome brats had ruined it."
"Master Makarov." She smiled. "You worry too much. Looking at all of these, I actually had fun."
Master almost choked. "Y-You did?" I almost jumped out of my dress because of Akura's words. She had fun? Despite the chaos a few moments ago?
She nodded. "Of course!" She gestured at my guildmates who were cleaning and blaming each other for the broken items. "You have such brave mages unlike the guilds I've visited before. They're not afraid to be themselves. Despite the mess around us, they're having fun." She smiled. "This such a loving and lively guild, Master Makarov. You must be a proud parent of these mages."
Master smiled and nodded. "Yes, even though they're trouble at all times."
Akura chuckled. She turned and bowed down. Master jumped in surprise. "Thank you for letting me have this opportunity, Fairy Tail Eighth Master Makarov Dreyar."
Master bowed down in return. "And so do I."
"Akura-chan." Mirajane walked up to us. "I will escort you outside."
"Me too." I said.
"Arigato, Mira-chan, Lucy-chan."
She exchanged a few last words to the Master Makarov and spoke to the other mages. I looked up back to the second floor railing but the First Master was no longer there. I wonder what's going on with Master Mavis earlier. I turned back to Akura whom I noticed to be looking at Natsu. Was that sadness? Longing? Worry? Akura noticed me looking at her and smiled.
"Let's go." I nodded and we escorted her out of the guild, helping her through the mess, and the arguing mages.
~Natsu Dragneel's POV~
I stared intently at the so-called super famous celebrity. Something about her seemed familiar...
"Natssssuuuu!"
I turned to my blue Exceed partner.
"What is it, Happy?"
"I'm hungry."
"It's because you ran off whining without taking a bite."
"It's not my fault!" Happy complained. "You started eating without me!"
I glanced at the door just in time as Lucy and Mirajane went out with the super famous celebrity.
"What's up, Natsu? Did you forget Akura's autograph?"
"Hmmm...something about her seemed familiar like I've already know her for long."
"Huh?"
I scratched the back of my head. "Ah, nevermind! Let's finish this up and eat!"
"Aye sir!"
