Yay! We made it to chapter 10. I honestly never thought we would make it this far.

Hallo. Hierdie hoofstuk se tall is…Afrikaans. Hello, this chapter's language is…Afrikaans.

It's mostly spoken in Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa. It has a total of 4,740,000 speakers.

Three fun facts:

1) Elisabeth Eybers made her debut as the first female poet in Afrikaans.

2)Afrikaans is very similar to Dutch, German, and French because the original settlers in South Africa were mostly… Dutch, Germans, and French.{Well, Duh}

3)It has the English alphabet except the Q and C

Aha, I dare you to mention one of the facts in a conversation and post the other person's reaction in a review. XD Jk, but it would be kinda funny.

Now lets see, oh yea.

Tiger Meets the Eneaus Family

(Lucy's POV)

Thank the spirits, Dysis promised not to tell Natsu. She told me when she passed by after her talk with Loke. She was blushing! Something happened.

I tried to talk to Loke about it, but he refused to answer. He just shook his head, but he had this goofy little smile on my face. And he called my Lucy, not Princess. Something happened and I want to know what! But they won't tell me!

To bad both Natsu and Dysis got motion sickness as soon as they got on the train. Natsu spent the whole train ride with his head on my lap, and Dysis was leaning onto Erza's s armored shoulder. That didn't seem comfortable.

"Natsu. We're here."

"Msmgndsgmn." Was the only reply I got back.

I sighed. Why didn't we get Wendy to heal him before we left? Oh yea, Levy took her on a mission with Shadow Gear. Greedy Levy.

I slung Natsu's arm over my shoulder and tried to put his weight on me so we could get off the train. Happy was too bust flirting with Ink to notice. Ink was too bust worrying about Dysis to notice him. Erza was giving Dysis a piggy back ride.

Gray, was flirting with a girl over by that pillar and Juvia was hiding behind the other one spying on him muttering 'Love Rival.' Oh shoot. Please don't Juvia, please don't.

"Gray-sama! Why must you flirt with other girls in front of Juvia!" Juvia wailed, crying. The station was soon flooded, and people were drowning or floating everywhere. Erza had managed to get Dysis, Ink, Happy, her luggage, and Natsu and me up on the roof. How she did it, I have no idea.

"That idiot Ice Stripper, always got to cause a mess." Natsu came around.

"Gray causes the mess?!" Are you kidding me?! This is coming from Natsu. Natsu, of all people. I face palmed.

"Oh yea, how did you shake off your motion sickness so quickly?" I asked. Normally, it takes him at least ten minutes.

"Dysis was already awake and I can't have my younger sister beat me. I'm the older more experienced one after all." Natsu held up a thumbs up and grinned like an idiot.

"You idiot! Don't you know that higher level dragon-slayers have greater amounts of motion sickness!" I just had to tell him that.

"Oh really? Then I guess I should be more sick then."

"WAIT! No! It's ok! Uhh….higher level dragon-slayers can also get over their motion sickness a lot faster." I rambled. "And they don't get as sick easily because they're …uhh…suppose to ride on dragons."

I had no idea if that was true. It probably isn't, but if it minimizes his motion sickness, I'm all for it.

"Actually, dragon-slayers might get too strong if they didn't have a major weakness, so once dragon-slayers reach a certain level of skill, they develop motion sickness." Dysis chimed in. "I read a professors' mind sometime a few years ago. She was a real dragon freak. Goes by the name of Daphne."

Kyahhh! I shushed her, but Natsu grew grim. "She was completely crazy and manipulative." I tried to cheer Natsu up.

"That's right, she even manipulated Gray into helping her." Erza said, finishing inspecting her luggage for water damage.

"No, I did it on my own free will." Said Gray. When did he get here?!

"But Gray-sama was trying to do a good thing!" Juvia defended. Well, at least she's not crying anymore.

"So…I take it you guys had a run-in with her." Dysis said a little curious.

"Yea. She used Natsu to make a giant Dragon!" Happy said munching on some fish.

"Uhh…sure." Was all Dysis said back. She sweat-dropped so I take it she thinks we're crazy. Oh what the hell, we are.

"Is everyone here? Good. Let's go shall we." Erza said grabbing her wagonload of luggage. Everyone else grabbed their bags and we proceeded to get off the roof of the station.

We walked around town some until we came to the big mansion. It was huge! Not as big as the Heartfelia estate, but it was still pretty big. Everyone but Dysis and me looked impressed. We were use to bigger ones.

Erza knocked on the gates and a sourly looking, balding man came out. He was about in his late forties and was slim. He had a monocle on one eye and stuck his nose high in the air. Very high in the air.

"May I help you?" He asked with puckered lips at the sigh of us.

"Certainly, we're the wizards who accepted the job to be the bodyguards on the trip from Kirpine to Pandidy."

"Ahh…yes. I see." I could see the disappointment and disproval in his eyes. Well excuse me. "Come this way. Mr. Eneaus has been expecting you."

I hoped whoever Mr. Eneaus was, he isn't as snobby as this whats-his-name right here.

"My name is Sebastian. I'm the head butler also going on this trip. Don't touch anything."

(Dysis POV)

I already hate Sebastian and I've known him for a few minutes. He's just another one of those snobby, rich, people who think they can get away with treating poorer people like dirt under their shoes. The thing was, this guy was just a butler, he's not even rich so he has no right to speak with us like that.

The only reason I'm keeping my mouth shut is so I won't mess up my first job before I even met who issued it.

Turns out, Mr. Eneaus was a very cheerful man. He was a successful writer, which had immediately earned his respect from Lucy. He also served the "best tea I've ever tasted" according to Erza. Happy was won over by the fish, Juvia by the Sorcerer Weekly magazine opened to the spread covering Gray and Juvia during the Fantasia parade years ago.

Only Gray, and Natsu remained un-won over. I was fine with Mr. Eneaus. He seemed like a decent man, but one who surrounded himself with company such as Sebastian didn't get my full respect.

"As you may be aware, I'm paying the six of you 7,000,000 gems for this mission. The reason I'm hiring Fairytail wizards to be bodyguards for my family is because my daughters requested I did. We're going to Pandidy to celebrate the eldest one's birthday with a gala."

"We're honored that you requested Fairytail wizards."

"Not a problem. Oh here come my lovely girls now." A middle-aged women entered followed by three teenagers and two little kids.

"This here is my lovely wife, Marisol." Marisol was a slim woman with orange hair and kind green eyes.

"Hello dears, are you the Fairytail wizards?"

"Yes ma'am." Answered Natsu.

"It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Juvia thinks it's a pleasure to meet you too." Juvia replied.

"These two are the twins Atlis and Alice." They both had their father's gray eyes and their mothers green hair.

"Nice to meet you," they said.

"It's nice to meet you too." Lucy said back.

"This little one here is Arnold." Arnold had a wooden sword in one hand and a shield in the other. He looked like a younger version of his father with brown hair and gray eyes.

"Im'ma become a knight!" he exclaimed.

"Oh yea, what about a wizard?" Natsu asked.

The little boy stopped to think about it. "Im'ma be a knight and a wizard!" He grinned toothily. He's kind of cute.

"This one here is Elma." Mr. Eneaus continued. "She was my sister's daughter, but my sister and her husband died a year ago, so we adopted her." Well, that explains the blond hair and the purple eyes.

She was hiding behind Mrs. Eneaus and peeking out at us. I gave her an encouraging smile and after a moment of hesitation, she smiled back. It was a small smile. Tiny. I don't even know if that could be considered a smile.

"Marisol look at that. Elma smiled." Elma ducked back behind Mrs. Eneaus again. "I don't know how you did it, but no one has been able to get her to smile."

"Ahem."

"Oh yes, this is my eldest daughter from my first wife, Evania." She was pretty I guess. Super skinny, long wavy blue hair, bright green eyes.

"Hello."

"Hello." Erza replied.

"Is perhaps, Loke not here?"

"No he isn't." Gray replied narrowing his eyes. We all sensed something was wrong.

"Father! You said that Loke would be here! You promised!" She turned to her father and whinned. We looked on a little surprised that this was the composed girl a moment before. Everyone else just looked tired.

"Sweetie. I didn't promise you that."

"But it's almost my birthday! And I want Loke here!" Now she started stamping her foot. She was just like- I stopped myself before I took a trip down memory lane.

Mrs. Eneaus sent us a look that begged for help. Lucy must've understood because in one fluid motion, she opened Loke's gate and Evania stopped whinning. She immediately, immediately, became a composed young lady again and walked over to Loke. Then she basically clung onto him.

"Umm…Lucy, do you need me to fight somebody or…"

"Loke do you mind suspending the contract for two weeks. I, we need you to come on this mission with us and your gonna have to use your own power. Is that ok?" Lucy asked.

I looked at him and felt my cheeks go red at the memory of the bridge. He caught my eye. "Sure Lucy, no problem, I lasted more than two weeks here."

"Yay!" Evania squealed. "This trip will be so much fun. You can be my personal bodyguard."

I scoffed at that. You'll enjoy that wouldn't you playboy.

He raised his eyebrows. "How about we all split into two teams."

We all looked at him. "Natsu and Lucy one team because you guys are already extremely compatible. Gray and Juvia one team because your magics are extremely compatible. Happy and Erza one team because you two are the weakest and strongest." This earned a hey from Happy and Natsu. "Dysis and I will be one team."

The Eneaus were listening with close attention as they watched the spirit take charge.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I agre-"

"Erza and Happy can watch over the luggage and the crew." Playboy looked over and they nodded their conformation talking over me. The nerve of him.

"Gray and Juvia can get the twins."

"Sure."

"Whatever Gray-sama wants."

"Natsu and Lucy can get Mr. and Mrs. Eneaus." Lucy looked extremely happy with that assignment.

"But can I have Mr. Natsu too?" Arnold asked.

Playboy looked over at Arnold who had puppy dog eyes. He sighed. "Is that alright you guys?"

Everyone nodded yes. "Kay then little dude, your with them."

"Yay!"

"That means that Tiger-"

"Tiger?" Evania asked.

"Yea, it's a nickname for Dysis."

"Give me a nickname too." I can think of a few.

Playboy smiled at the message but to Evania, it probably looked like he was smiling at her. "How about Ivy."

"Why Ivy?" she asked. Cause your clingy. Playboy said. Now it was my turn to smile.

"It's pretty." She beamed at that and I resisted the urge to gag.

"Now, continuing on, that leaves Dysis and me Evania and that little girl over there by the stairs."

Everyone turned to look towards the stairs. Sure enough, Elma was attempting to go unnoticed. She failed and ran to hide behind Mrs. Eneaus again. She's fast.

"Well, now that that's all settled, we leave tomorrow, so everyone get a good nights rest. Sebastian, show them to their rooms. I'll have dinner sent to everyone's room. Good day." Mr. Eneaus said and taking Mrs. Eneaus' hand, he walked away. Everyone followed suit.

"Loke, would you like to eat in my room?"

"No thanks Ivy, I was planning to eat in someone else's room." I heard my heart skip a beat. He didn't hear it right.

"Who?"

I hurried towards the room Sebastian showed me and shut the door not hearing the answer.

Phew! Well there you go. Over 2,000 words. Your welcome. :]

Let's see, review.

Anything bad, good, needs fixing, ideas, anything.

Oh, and I need ideas for what happens on this trip. Dankie, baie dankie. (Thank you very much.)
