Ayame's POV

Okay... It's about time I get serious about my search. Damn it! Why does Magnolia have to be such a big place? How am I supposed to find oniichan? Okay... I should just ask people around where Blue Pegasus is! Smart!

Ayame hurriedly ran towards a bakery shop nearby, but suddenly notices a certain shadow that's been following her around. Haha so he did follow me.

Ayame pretends not to notice and goes into the bakery.

"Hey what can I get ya?" The hunky worker asked. He looked like he was maybe 18 or 19. He had brown buzzed hair and piercings on his ears. He was wearing a blue shirt with an apron on. His arms looked like he works out quite often. He looks pretty yummy

Ayame smiled and bit her lips. "Hmmm... sorry but I can't afford to buy anything right now. I'm actually looking for a guild called Blue Pegasus. Do you mind telling me where it is?"

"Haha sure thing. I'll draw you a map. If you don't mind me asking, what do you have to do up there?"

"You know just looking for somebody."

"Is that somebody your boyfriend?" the hunky man asked, while leaning slightly over the counter towards Ayame.

"Haha sadly not. He's my brother."

"Ohhh.. By the way I'm Shota." He reached out to shake Ayame's hand.

"Ayame." Ayame reached out and shook his hand.

"Do you live around here? Because I've never seen you around before, and I always remember pretty girls." He winked at Ayame.

"No, I live more south from here." Ayame gave him her breath taking shiny smile.

Shota chuckled as he handed her a bag of cookies and brownies, "Here take this with you for your trip."

"Really? Thanks, are you always this nice to girls? Cuz your shop is guna go bankrupt"

"True. Maybe I can have something in return…"

Haha this is getting good… "What do you have in mind?"

Shota began to touch my hand that was on the counter, and lightly traced my forearm. "The night you come back, let's have dinner together. Of course my treat."

"Wow, what a gentleman, but I'm sorry I can't. I've got a little too much on my plate right now."

"Hmmm… okay, maybe the next time I see you, you might give it a go."

Suddenly the door swung open.

"Sorry for breaking your guy's conversation, and I wasn't eavesdropping, but it just so happened to be that I'm heading towards Blue Pegasus as well. Mind if I tag along?"

See! He is a freaking stalker! What does he have to do at Blue Pegasus?

Shota straightened his back and asked, "Excuse me but who are you?"

"You don't have to know. Thanks we'll be leaving now." Gray took Ayame's arm by force and stalked towards the door.

"What the hell? Gray?!" When they got to the other side of the street, Ayame spoke, "Geez, you didn't have to get jealous did you Mr. Stalker? And what are you going to do at Blue Pegasus?"

"I was just stating my own opinion, and I'm not a stalker! I was just making sure you weren't leaving the town. We still have that challenge remember?"

"Yeah, but WHAT ARE YOU DOING AT BLUE PEGASUS?"

"I have a job request there. It's a joint mission between Blue Pegasus and Fairy Tail. And I just happened to know a truck that can take us there that'd be leaving in an hour."

"So who else is going?"

"It's just guna be you and me :)"

Haha...he was aiming for this...

1 Hour Later

What the hell is this...?

"When you said you knew a truck that would take us there, I thought you meant an actual truck, not a random delivery truck that just happened to be traveling by!"

"Who cares. It's a free ride. We just have to be quiet, so the driver won't know that we're here."

The roads were very bumpy and it wasn't a pleasant ride. For about 10 minutes or so there was an awkward silence. All you heard were the gravels being run over, birds squawking, leaves fluttering.

All of a sudden Gray decided to break that awkward silence. "We're probably going to be there in an hour or two. What to do during those hours..."

Another awkward silence…

"Well let's get to know each other better." Ayame suggested.

"Umm...okay, I'll ask first. Umm… come to think of it, you never showed me your magic!"

"Haha right. I didn't show it to yet did I?"

Ayame stood up and looked around the area in the truck. There were lots of trashes on the floor. Ayame made a hand signal, and her magic circle appeared. Suddenly all the trashes on the floor, shot up into the air and vanished into thin air. Gray, not being able to comprehend the situation sat in awe.

"What happened to all the trash?"

"I sent in to another dimension. See my magic is way different from my brother's. I do more of a dimension type of magic than the actual element. Okay, it's my turn now. Why do you have a tendency to take off your clothes?"

Gray chuckled as he answered, "Oh ya… it was a part of my training when I was young in order to become an ice mage. We would take off all our clothes and go run in a snow storm or take ice cold baths."

Holy mother… that's insane! Now I understand why he takes off his clothes. Room temperature's a little too warm for him.

"Ohh…. I thought you took off your clothes because you wanted to show off your body."

Gray looked at Ayame with a strange look, "Why would I do that?"

"I thought you wanted to impress other girls like that."

"Not trying to be cocky, but girls literally throw themselves at me. Take Juvia for example. Every time she sees me, she would be like 'Gray-sama! Juvia missed you so much!' and literally jumps on me, and I was only gone for a couple of hours!"

"So do you hate aggressive girls?"

"Hate's too strong. More like, not used to. I think guys should be the more aggressive ones. Don't you think?"

…to be honest, I LOVE aggressive guys! Especially those possessive types 3

"Yeah, I guess. But I've never dated an aggressive guy before, so I don't really understand." LIES! The last boyfriend I dated was a dominant type of fellow, and he was amazing during sex. Our relationship was going good until that guy had to ruin it. If he didn't come me and Kazu would of still been together and maybe mom might of still been alive…Shoot! I'm thinking dark thoughts! Think happy thoughts…happy thoughts…

Gray suddenly leaned in closer to Ayame and spoke gently towards her ears. "Do you want to see one?" Ayame licked her lips in anticipation of what was coming next.

"Only if you're willing to show me…"
