So, to recap, the Trimen broke into Draconem Castle. They got chased around by a bunch of angry sleep deprived wizards, they were, in the end, invited to spend the day at the castle, let's see how the dragon's treat their first guests!

Hibiki wandered down the hall, he had been up late into the night exploring the castle now that he had permission to, as a 'guest'.

Ren and Eve had passed out on the field, Hibiki had as well, but he'd awoken at 6:30, had had begun looking around.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the loud, ground shaking bongs of the clock tower. Almost instantly he heard shuffling feet and streams of chatter. The dark blonde glanced to the side when he heard someone approaching.

"Is your back ok?"

He turned to see Meredy walking toward him. She wore her usual pink, white frilled dress, with her blue cape, minus her former guilds mark, swaying behind her.

She pushed up her headband as she came, tucking a few wayward strands behind her ears.

"Sorry about pegging you yesterday, but you started it." The girl said.

Hibiki recalled the encounter and winced.

"And I'm really sorry I hit you with a book. You just startled me." Hibiki explained.

Meredy laughed lightly and passed it off.

"What do you say I give you a grand tour after breakfast?" She asked as they walked off down the hall, Hibiki following Meredy's lead.

Hibiki smiled slightly, in an almost surprised way.

"I think that'd be nice."

In the Dragon's hangout

"Hibiki!"

The archive mage turned to see Ren sitting at a table with Zahn and Sofie.

"Hey Ren." Hibiki walked over to see all of them devouring a plate of heavenly looking pancakes, slathered in butter and syrup, with bacon on the side, and a large mug of coffee.

"Whoa, where do I get some?" Hibiki demanded, feeling the emptiness of his stomach as a put a hand to it.

"Over here!" Meredy called to him, waving from where she'd joined the line moving quickly down the bar filled with heavenly smelling breakfast delicacies , he turned and walked over to the pink haired mage.

As the room filled with chatter, yells, and greetings of 'Good Morning' echoing through the hall, Hibiki gratefully seized a plate and prepared to squelch his growing hunger.

"Is it always this chaotic?" Hibiki asked as he loaded his tray in the line with Meredy just behind him, piling her own plate high.

"Nah..." Meredy said, chuckling as she filled up her own cup with tea.

"It's really quiet this morning." She commented, glancing over her shoulder at the wizards moving about, grabbing tables, dragging up seats, and settling in to a large plate of freshly cooked food.

Hibiki stared at her, than checking to see if he could still hear with the loud voices, clashing cutlery, and occasional blast of a spell, a product of a wizard's plate, or a wizard, being knocked to the floor.

"Really?" He questioned as he followed Meredy to a table, leaving Ren to enjoy his conversation with Zahn and Sofie, noting that a nervous appearing Eve had arrived with a disgruntled looking Rina to join them.

He sat down at a smaller, four person table, with Meredy.

"Well, none of the...oh wait, I take it back, here they come." Meredy muttered as sounds of conflict could be heard from beyond the iron bound wooden double doors of the main hall.

"YOU TOOK MY BOOK AGAIN YOU PYRO! GIVE IT BACK!"

"COME AND GET IT LAMPPOST!"

"Not this again." Meredy sighed, picking at her pancakes.

Hibiki had already shoveled down several large bites, and swallowed to ask.

"Are those the dragonslayers?" He asked.

"Yup. And they always bring a reason for a brawl. Sounds like this ones an old classic." The sensory link wizard grumbled, stabbing a pancake, tearing off a piece, dipping it in syrup and shoving it into her mouth.

"Sting is secretly a huge bookworm, spends all his free time in the library or with the research lacrima. Natsu just loves to steal his book, than taunt him with it."
Meredy leaned in and whispered into Hibiki's ear for the next part.

"I think he actually reads romance novels, I've caught him using an armchair to fly up to that section of the library's content shelves before. Natsu's to dumb to check the title of the book when he steals it, but one of these days he's gonna find out, spread the word, and Sting's gonna blow."

Natsu and Sting came barreling through the door in an explosion of fists and petty insults, mixed with fire and lasers.

Rogue followed, looking weary of their constant battling, and walked off to get some food himself, Wendy racing in to join him. Laxus, along with Onyx and Misty, entered, talking rather peacefully amongst themselves.

Cobra's long strides causes his white coat tails to drift in the air behind him, the former dark mage had plugged his ears with his fingers in fury.

"PLEASE JUST SHUT UP!" He begged.

Orchid peeked over his shoulder, as usual, she was located behind the poison wizard, and as usual Cobra was acting as though it were completely normal.

Because, unfortunately, by now it was.

Hibiki ducked when a fork was thrown directly over his head, by who he didn't even know, and collided with Natsu's head.

"OK! Which one of you geniuses threw that!?" The fire dragonslayer demanded, fisting his hands and lighting them aflame as he turned on the offending wizard.

Sting took this opportunity to slam his booted foot into the pyro's back. Natsu went flying, screaming pathetic insults, into the far wall.

He dropped like a falling stone, smashing the table beneath him. Sting began backing away in terror when he realized just who's breakfast he'd destroyed.

As Natsu wobbled to his feet with several pancakes and a square of butter to top it off on his head, a spiked booted foot sent him hurtling back into his blonde rival.

"Why. Do. You. Idiots. Have. To. Fight. All. The. TIME!?" Accentuating every syllable, a dangerous voice bit through the air.

"S-Sorry?" Sting tried as he sat up with Natsu sprawled across his lap.

"Well I'm not! This is my shot! FIGHT ME VIPER!" Natsu barked as leapt up, used Sting as a springboard, and raced across the black wood floors, jumping from tan wooden table to tan wooden table. He cocked his arm, fist hardening...

"I'M ALL FIRED UP!" He cried.

Viper slammed an uppercut directly into his stomach.

"Didn't anyone ever tell you breakfast is the most important meal of the day? Especially for a growing boy." Viper imitated a motherly voice as Natsu hit the ground with a thud.

She turned on Sting.

"Maybe I should teach you a lesson about that?" She threatened.

Hibiki let out a choke cry as a tight grip wrapped around his wrist and dragged him under the table.

"You finished eating?"

He glanced over to see Meredy kneeling beside him under the protection of the tan wood as a loud blast broke the temporary silence of the hall, rattling the tables and the portraits on the walls.

Hibiki nodded, he was, he'd inhaled the meal.

"Great, now let's get out of here before the bomb drops."
Hibiki glanced out to see Viper using a nightfall demon to chase Sting and now, several other wizards including Ren, around the hall.

Natsu had punched Gajeel, who'd fallen onto Zahn, who'd shoved Sofie, who'd been preparing to fire a lightning strike, and accidentally struck Ultear.

The woman had rebelled by sending her orb to strike Natsu, the one who'd started the trend, and the sight of Natsu clinging to a crystal ball, whipping around the room, seemed to set everyone off.

Spelling were flung haphazardly through the air, blasts of fire, ice, wind, lightning, iron pillars and chunks of stone, brilliant light shows and a beautiful vines of plants and flowers. Shadowy eruptions began to blot out parts of the scene. All in all creating a vortex of brawling lost mages, shouting, punching, kicking, and, of course, casting destructive spells.

Meredy and Hibiki did the sniper crawl across the floor, slipping between fallen piles of food and stomping feet, to reach the door.

Meredy shut the door behind them with a resounding 'thump' and turned to lean against it with a sigh.

"And here I was thinking we'd have a quiet morning." She murmured.

Hibiki looked over her, her hair was slightly frazzled, her green eyes were alight with breathlessness from there escape, and her cape was pulled tightly around her.

He found himself feeling slightly breathless himself.

"Well." Meredy had caught her breath and dusted her skirt and leggings off with quick swipes of his palms.

"Let's go, we can start at the courtyard and move up towards the south turret overlooking the lake." She suggested.

Hibiki cocked his head to one side, matching Meredy's wide, bottomless green eyes.

"Alright. Is it just the two of us?" The archive mage asked.

Meredy shrugged, "Is that a bad thing?" She asked worriedly.

Hibiki shook his head instantly, "No. Not at all."

That's it! I need a ship name, help me! Meriki maybe? Anyone? Well, please favorite, please follow, please review! Thanks!
