*Well it's been a wile guys. Sadly i wont be updating during the week anymore well not regularly any way. Just have a slight note here. For the last chapter i recommend you imagine it like a cinematic where where the kids and their older selves kinda intertwine. You'll understand after reading.
To onlookers they would seem quite the odd bunch. A hulking man with than skin and white hair lead the team cause as he put it he was a REAL MAN. Following him were three girls; a blue haired girl with long hair tied into a ponytail by a white ribbon, a petite silver haired girl whit short shoulder length hair the third had the same hair color but hers was much longer reaching almost waist length. Following them were two more gorgeous girls who happened to be blondes. They both had long silky locks and wore blue, in fact they could almost be sisters but their choices of clothes were very different. One wore very revealing clothes while the other wore much more conservative clothes. Next to them was a rather idiotic scarf wearing pink haired man.
Last in the line-up was a muscular raven haired boy who oddly was fully clothed in black trousers a white shirt and a black trench coat. Even stranger was the brunet he was carrying on his back. Apparently in the time for Gray to wrap up his unfinished business 'someone' went from bar to bar after which quite a few had to close down for the day. The result was Cana climbing onto Gray's back, in a drunken daze then falling asleep. Despite feeling tired Gray relented and decided to carry her till she felt she could walk again. Who would have guessed that they would both be reminiscing about the childhood they shared.
The Fairy Tail Guild (Before Erza's Arrival)
"Wait up Gray you forgot your clothes!" Little Gray hearing the chipper voice of young Cana turned around to face her. She was hunched over breathing heavy a bundle of clothes in her arms. His normal reaction would've been an exaggerated statement of the fact but he was in a bad mood. After failing a mission to retrieve a piece of jewellery Gray was ridiculed by teenage Laxus. Gray's reaction to the taunting was to challenge Laxus to a fight, which he inevitably lost. Gray then proceeded to exit the guild in a dramatic over the top fashion.
Cana witnessing the incident decided to lecture Laxus not that he paid her much mind. She then gathered the clothes Gray had miraculously discarded she had lost sight of him and didn't know where he had gone when she finally caught up to him he was in his own world, hands in his pocket slouching in a manner that made him look seriously dejected. She called out to him till he finally turned around with a look on his face that would make you assume he had just eaten something sour.
Now that we're all caught up. "Here're all your clothes"
"Thanks" he accepted the clothes with a pout on his face that, in Cana's opinion, made him look really cute. He normally was so serious but when he showed his childish side he seemed so innocent and most of all adorable.
"So what ya doing?" (Phineas and Ferb)
"Leave me alone" his voice was stern and serious throughout their conversation.
"Where are you going?"
"To train."
"Where?"
"In the East Forest."
"But isn't that place pretty dangerous?"
"Kinda the point."
"So who's going with you?"
"No one."
"What! But you could get really injured!"
"Don't you ever shut up? Now leave me alone" But she didn't she kept on following him till he reached the trail that lead to east forest.
He made a run for it and ditched her. He never thought for a second that the little pipsqueak would actually follow him. He searched until he found a quiet clearing where he could practise his maker magic.
Cana lost Gray as soon as he entered the forest and had become lost herself when she tried to follow him. She kept searching for Gray and a way out at the same time but sadly she wasn't making any progress. She was lost for at least two hours now and still couldn't find a way out. Then she heard rustling in the bushes, she'd be lying if she said she wasn't scared. The sun was still in the sky but that just gave the forest an eerie feeling due to the dark creepy shadows. Then she heard the rustling again.
She frantically ran to hopefully get away from whatever was hiding away in the bushes but before she could get away a tiny rabbit like creature jumped out of the bushes. Cana felt silly for being afraid of such a cute little creature but she didn't feel so silly for being afraid of the creature that suddenly ate the bunny. She was wrong to have been paying attention only to what was on the forest floor and not what was up in the trees.
She followed the long the path of the long tongue that had swiftly appeared snatched the bunny and retreated. What she saw at the top of the tree was a serpent like creature wrapped around a tall wide trunked tree. It had a log red body with green splotches dotted over its scaly body. Its head had an oddly feminine appeal and its eyelids were black making it look oddly elegant. Despite this there was no denying that before her was a savage beast. Its eyes were slanted and had a yellow glint. The pupil was a straight vertical slit that made it look quite demonic. Cana wanted to run but she was enthralled by the monster's gaze. It slithered down the tree and began to shift itself towards Cana in an enchanting dance. It circle the frightened girl and edged closer and closer to her every second.
Cana was certain she would be eaten; she hadn't even realized that she had fallen on her knees. She couldn't help herself from crying for her sad faith. Who could blame such a young girl for such a innocent reaction, she closed her eyes and had completely given up.
"ICE MAKE CANNON!" She heard him shout and as she opened her eyes to the majestic beast realign through the air after taking a huge chunk of ice to the face. It's appearance was rather laughable now opposed to its previous threatening aura. "Gray where did you come fr-"
"Hop on" He cut her off which surprised and he knelt down in front so she could climb onto his back. "You still can't walk properly so I'll give you a ride just this once OK" He turned his head and gave her a warm smile.
"But how come you can move so easily Gray?"
"Hmm, you thought that was scary. That little can't compare to Deliora," She wondered who this Deliora person was but she ignored it and climbed onto his back. They walked for a while in silence until Cana decided to break that silence. "Thank you Gray" hearing this Gray responded nonchalantly "Whatever". Despite the way he said it Cana could tell he was happy and although she felt like she could walk now she decided to relax into his back. "You know your surprisingly warm Gray."
Back in the Present
Cana had regained consciousness and felt a rhythmic swaying. She was relaxed and very comfortable. Then she finally realized that she was on Gray's back just like in the dream she was having.
"So your finally up huh, you know you're pretty heavy now"
"And you're pretty rude now"
"Hmph"
"But… your still surprisingly warm" she then snuggled up to him and closed her eyes deciding that she would take advantage of her friend for a little longer. "Am I? That's strange. But you know your boobs have gotten surprisingly big." This earned Gray a playful smack to the head but he didn't mind it was surprisingly pleasant.
