Chapter Three
"Happy?"
"Yes Carla?"
"Do you know where Wendy and the girls went? I keep worrying, and I know I ask this every time, but…do you think what Fairy Tail did was fair?" Carla was hugged from behind by Happy.
"Of course not, but what can we do against them? We're only two Exceeds, we should just look for them. That's the best we can do."
Carla sighed and whispered, "Aye." It's been a long month since Team Fairy Tail left the guild, and Master still hasn't come back. Happy and Carla has been taking more missions than usual, for two reasons, one: to avoid Carla getting picked on, and two: to look for Wendy and the girls. Recently, Gray, Gajeel and Natsu seemed to have "taken over" the guild. What they think and do, the rest does too. Very little people have gone against Natsu and the others, like Romeo and the two Exceeds, Happy and Carla, but they would just be put aside.
"C'mon Happy, let's go get a mission." Happy and Carla flew inside the large guild, and went straight to the request board. Happy looked at the missions for a while until he snatched one up.
HELP WANTED
HELP CARRY CARGO ACROSS THE TOWN OF HADEN
TO THE LOCAL GUILD
CLIENT: ROSA MESSENGER
"We have yet to go to Haden," Happy said quietly, before going to Mira to get the mission approved.
Happy and Carla rode the train to the town of Haden, with Carla's head on Happy's lap. Yes…if you haven't guessed, they were together, dating doesn't seem to be the right word for those two, it should be reserved for people. Carla finally accepted the fish. Soon, Happy and Carla arrived at the remote town with few residents. "Let's go find the client. I heard she was the Master of the guild here." Happy and Carla summoned their wings, and started flying towards the large building, which seemed to tower those around.
Aren't those two also Fairy Tail mages?
I wonder if they know who joined Angel's Song.
Carla reverted to her strict self, "Why do they think they are, talking behind our backs?" Happy shrugged but couldn't take his mind off of what the people said. Who also joined Angel's Song? The two Exceeds flew silently towards the building, and when they arrived, Happy took out the mission request and started to open the doors.
The guild members inside were still rowdy, not paying attention to the two Fairy Tail mages…except for a certain five. These five in the guild were known as the Five Fairy Angels, but that was only within the guild, the five already had a team name, but it was reserved when they were starting to become known across Fiore. One should be prepared for the future, right?
"What are they doing here?" pondered one white haired Angel.
"I think it's the mission Master sent out," answered the golden haired Angel. "I'm glad it wasn't them who chose the request." The three other blue haired Angels nodded. A sharp gasp resounded throughout the guild, catching everyone's attention.
"Wendy?"
"Lucy?"
Everyone in the room looked towards the Five Fairy Angels, but not the Master, who was seated at the bar. Rosa chuckled. "Happy, Carla, it seems that you've found the newest Angels of the guild. The Five Fairy Angels. They told me everything that happened in your guild. I hope that you two weren't part of what took place in Fairy Tail." Rosa spat the name as if it were poison. Happy and Carla shook their heads.
"No," Carla said, "We were coming back from a mission, and we came back, it was too late. They were already gone. We were the only ones to respect them…for who they were." One blue haired Angel stood up, and walked up to the pure white Exceed, and brought her into a hug. "Wendy…" Happy flew over to the other four of the Five Fairy Angels.
"Happy…we're glad to see you and Carla." Both Exceeds started to have tears streaming down their faces. Suddenly they were both pushed away. "Go, go finish your missions, then we'll have more time to talk." They were given heart-warming smiles, and the cats couldn't disagree with them, when they said they'd have more time to talk. Rosa smiled, and ushered the Exceeds back to the bar, to explain their mission. Once they left, Rosa approached the Five Fairy Angels.
"Those two…they really admire you five, you know that right?" Hesitantly, the five nodded. "Now…let's continue on your magic. Let's get back to pledging your oath at the training field." Rosa was already half-way to the door leading to the outside, when the five stood up.
"You know guys," Lucy started, "We've already been in Haden for a month. Don't you think it's a bit weird that we haven't tasted any toffee?"
"Oh…you're right," Levy agreed, "How about, after training, we go and find some, that way we can also get some for Carla and Happy. I heard that it was disrespectful to enter Haden without the intention of eating some toffee."
"Ha!" Wendy laughed, "That's just you with your head set on 'dramatize.'" Every single one of them, have already changed, especially on their personality. They all rushed to meet Rosa out on Angel's Song's personal training field, an enraged Levy chasing a laughing Wendy.
"They seemed to be happy here, huh Carla?"
"…Yes…I suppose so." Carla and Happy were carrying two crated boxes with their tails from the edge of Haden back towards the guild.
"Do you think…that one day…we can join them?"
Carla almost stopped flying at that. "Why do you say that?"
"You don't need me to answer that Carla, you see how they treat us back at Fairy Tail. They treat us like outcasts. Right now, Master is our only hope on bringing back the old Fairy Tail, the one who holds the words 'nakama' dearly."
"…I think…we can join Wendy and the others. But only, only if Master can set things straight. Fairy Tail is my home, kind of the only home that I ever had. But the thing is, wherever Wendy is, that's where 'home' is." Carla sighed and grabbed Happy's hand. "But promise me Happy…that you'll always be with me."
Happy looked at their intertwined hands and smiled softly, before looking into her eyes. "Of course Carla. I promise." (A/N: Awww, Happy :)) Carla and Happy continued their way back to Angel's Song, keeping their paws held together.
They found Rosa at the bar once again, but they couldn't see where the five former Fairy Tail members were. "Hey Rosa," Happy greeted, "We have the cargo you asked for."
"Oh, hello, you guys are back, go talk to Yuna, the bartender; she'll tell you where to put it." Carla and Happy sped over to the young bartender with emerald green hair.
"Yuna?" The girl looked up and gave a small smile.
"You two must be the Fairy Tail mages, come, and let me show you the place where you must put the boxes." Yuna put down the mug she was washing and opened a door just next to her. Carla and Happy made their way around the bar top and into the room, where Yuna followed after.
"Yuna…"
"Yes Carla?"
"How are Wendy and the girls? Are they being treated well?" Yuna gave the Exceed a heart-warming smile.
"Everyone here knows what happened, and they accept the five girls. Some admire them even, sending little notes to me so I can hand it to them whenever they come for a drink. They've been working on their magic, it's amazing really. After this, go straight to the training field, they're usually in their all day." Happy and Carla were led to the pantry, and they set down the four boxes they had. Yuna came with a box opener and pointed to the exit, "Go out of the pantry and turn right, there'll be a door there that leads to the training grounds."
"Thank you Yuna!" Happy said, before speeding out of the pantry with Carla. They swerved right and burst through the doors.
They arrived at the fields; the lush green expanse of grass was spread out over a slight hill and plain. Five girls were spread around the field. They were all dressed in white sleeveless gowns, a black cloak secured over their shoulders. One hand was stretched out towards the middle, where a large orb was floating. Rosa and Yuna soon came, walking towards the Exceeds. Happy spoke, "What are they doing?" Rosa smiled.
"They're taking their oath to Angel's Song, which usually takes about a month. Every day, they offer a portion of their magic stamina to the guild; it's what helps protect the guild. Nifty huh? It also shows their loyalty, and also it tells me just how powerful they are and how to improve."
"What can you tell right now?"
Yuna gave a smile this time, "Rosa and I went over this before, and frankly, they've got some hidden potential." Rosa nodded.
"I think it's time that everyone has met the Five Angels of Fiore."
