"So, who're we trying to find again?" Yuki asked, flinging a yo-yo (that she and Juvia had found on the streets), already bored.
"Totomaru-kun didn't really know her name, besides the fact that it starts with a 'L'. Anyways, she's apparently really tsundere and calm and likes to write. That's all I know." Juvia shrugged.
Yuki's jaw dropped open. "That's what you're going on? Are you crazy? You need better sources! I mean, sure, you happened to recruit someone who sees her and knows what she looks like, but seriously! You need to know more."
"So you can find her?"
"Of course!" Yuki laughed, a sweet sound filling the empty streets. "I'm guessing that she's in the library across the street-" Yuki pointed to a medium-sized building. "-Writing her story. Now c'mon! What are you waiting for?"
The two ran across the street, ignoring the honks and shouts. Upon entering the building, the movement of a quill caught their attention. Watching the quill move, the two approached the figure, Yuki taking the lead. "Hey, you're Ling, right?"
The figure glanced up, revealing dark brown hair streaked with red that had been hidden in the shadows. She glanced at them, her brown eyes scanning their faces. "Who are you guys?"
"I'm Juvia, and this is Yuki." Juvia gestured to herself and Yuki, keeping eye contact with the girl. "I'd like you to join a guild."
Ling stared at Juvia as though she had two heads. "What?"
"Phantom Lord."
"Phantom? I thought they disbanded." Ling stared at Juvia.
"Phantom Lord Reborn." Juvia added, making Ling give her a slow nod.
"I see. Well, I'll think about it. Next year."
"Ling-chan, please." Juvia begged, shaking the girl. "PLEASE!"
"I said I'd think about it! Now go and find someone else to annoy. Ask me again, and I'll never say yes." Ling glared at them before turning back to face the table, her face still calm and expressionless.
"Fine." Juvia frowned, disappointed at her goal not being met. "Hey, know anyone else we could recruit?" she asked Yuki, shoving her hands in her pockets and walking towards the exit of the bookstore.
"Not really." Yuki shrugged. "People here don't really use magic in their everyday lives, so it's hard to tell if someone's a mage or not."
Juvia bit her lip. Creating a guild was a lot harder than it seemed! She wondered if she would still be welcomed at Fairy Tail. Maybe she should just give up... Juvia shook her head, disgusted with herself. Give up? She couldn't give up! She already had two people counting on her. She couldn't let them down now. A tap on her shoulder soon broke her away from her thoughts. "What is it?" She wasked, expecting it to be Yuki. However, instead of Yuki, a young man with red hair and brown eyes was looking at her, blushing slightly. "Oh! Hello."
"Uh, hi. Well, you seemed like you were looking for something, so do you need any help?" he offered, acting very kind despite having the appearance of a typical 'bad boy'.
"Yeah, do you know any strong mages that aren't part of a guild around here?" Juvia asked, cocking her head to the side.
"Looking for someone in particular?"
Juvia shook her head. "We" she gestured to herself and Yuki, who waved. "Are trying to recruit people for a guild."
"A guild, huh? What's it called?"
"Phantom Lord Reborn." Juvia said proudly, her posture straightening slightly and her head lifting up.
"Phantom Reborn? Cool! You're looking for a strong, powerful, not-part-of-a-guild-mage, handsome mage, right? Then I'm you're man!"
"Juvia didn't use 'handsome in the description'." she sweatdropped, but smiling slightly. "Great!" she thought to herself. "Another member!" "Anyways, what's your name?"
"Dan Blackshoot. And you are?"
"Juvia Loxar." She told him.
"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl." he winked, and slung his arm around her shoulders. "Anyways, I can help you get some more people."
Juvia nodded, slightly smiling at Dan's behavior. "He reminds me slightly of Lyon." she thought to herself.
"Well, have you tried Ling?"
"Yes, and mission failed." Juvia sighed.
"What about Mikako Tenshi?"
"Mikako? No. Where can we find them?"
"I'll show you." he led Juvia towards a small building, on a small nearby hill.
Knock! Knock!
"Who is it?" a voice demanded from the inside the house.
"Juvia Loxar. Juvia would like to speak with Mikako Tenshi, please."
"Mikako? No."
"Juvia has something to ask her! Please!"
"What do you want to ask her?"
"To join a guild." Juvia replied. "Now please, let me talk to her!"
The voice sighed but reluctantly opened the door, revealing a girl with white hair, and two large wings. "Fine. I'm Mikako Tenshi, and this better not be a trick."
