I plan on doing two chapters a day, for this story. I am working on a nalu one-shot so, I hope you enjoy!

CHAPTER 3: Meet the Team

TORU'S POV

I looked at the taller red haired woman in confusion. Job? All she wanted to do was ask me to do a job? I didn't mind going but, why is she afraid?

"So would you like to?" Erza, I think that's her name, asked.

"Only if your team mates are okay with it." I said. I wanted to know who I was working with before I say yes to anything.

"Are you all okay with Toru joining us?" Erza directed her attention to a table not too far from the bar where we were.

I look over to the table of people Erza was talking to, I saw the two, soon to be lovers,[Natsu and Lucy] and a few faces who I did not know.

They all said it was fine and Erza brought me over to the table to meet who I would be working with.

"This is, Toru Midnight she will be going on this job with us." She told the group.

One by one each of them greeted me.

"I'm Gray" the raven haired male introduced.

"I'm Happy!" the blue cat greeted.

Wait…..cats don't talk…..WHY IS HE TALKING?! I picked up the talking animal, studying it I want to know why it can talk. Natsu soon got me out of my daze.

"He's an exceed, that's why he can talk." He told me.

"Oh" I said and put down the cat….only for it to start flying!

I decided not to waste time on it. Instead I started conversation with the one called Gray.

"Your Gray correct?" I asked, earning his attention.

"Yeah that's me. How's your first day going, I know it's really strange here." He asked.

"I'm doing fine. Umm…what's the job we're going on? I would like to know." I told him.

"There are monsters attacking a village and we're going to deal with them." Gray told me.

We stood in silence for a while. I could tell that he was looking at me, probably wondering why I'm so pale and skinny. Lucy did the same.

"What type of magic do you use, Gray?" I asked wanting to end the awkward silence.

"Ice-make" he told me simply.

We just stood there a little longer. I was about to ask him why he was staring at me when Erza said,

"Let's all go home and get rest, we need it for tomorrow."

With that we left the guild for the night. Tomorrow will be my first job.
