Chapter 4:
Home Sweet Home
Part 1
Sora followed Gray into the guild building. Despite all of her efforts she hadn't managed to calm down her nerves which were going haywire. She manged to construct a cool front but it was weak. Her mind was racing miles ahead of her. She managed to by now think of herself better than a monster but her self-confidence was still at a all-time low.
'What will they think of me?' She asked herself over and over again the question turning itself over in her mind. 'I hope I can at the least be of some help.' Her calm facade was nearly complete until a salmon haired boy shattered it, more like threw it on the floor and jumped on it until it was broken into tiny pieces.
"Gray! I hoped that you had gone forever!" The boy yelled causing Sora to flinch and he rushed past her probably not even noticing her presence or refusing to acknowledge it. Sora was left in her own depression bubble creating growing mushrooms until a blonde girl approached her. The Girl cocked an eyebrow at Sora's weird state.
"Hi! My name is Lucy." She smiled warmly, the mushrooms and Sora's bubble vanished. It had been a while since she had gotten a warm smile like that.
"I'm Sora." Sora said, half dazed. Sora hoped to be friends with her as well, she seemed really nice.
"Are you planning on joining the guild?" Lucy asked.
Sora was sent deep in thought about how to answer. She hadn't joined yet but she desperately hoped to. She couldn't very well say 'Yes, I will.' because that would be implying that it was guarantied. After a long pause Sora spoke.
"I hope to." She said still a little dazed.
"Really! Awesome!" Lucy smiled again. After hearing that Sora was at a new happiness level. Lucy had just reached the level of 'Goddess' in Sora's mind. She really hoped that they could be friends.
Sora turned around but was caught of guard. Gray had stripped only leaving on a pair of black boxers, his clothes strewn across the wood floors. The other people in the room talked like this was nothing out of the ordinary while Sora nearly passed out. The way the Salmon haired boy and Gray were fighting seemed in Sora's mind like they hated each other. Sora used her hands to cover the lenses of her glasses. Lucy giggled at Sora's reaction.
"He does that," Lucy started. "All the time." Sora uncovered her eyes.
"Do they hate each other." Sora asked mortified as she notice bright flashes of light in the corner of her eye.
"No, not really. They are actually really good friends." Lucy smiled, this made Sora spiral into confusion.
"They are like brothers in a sense." Lucy cleared for her. Sora nodded.
Fairy tail is like a big Family, and a happy one at that, Sora was envious she wished to call this place home as well.
