I don't own fairy tail, if I did Magnolia's signature food would be Ice Cream.

Laxus POV.

Laxus followed the sounds of crying. It was hard to make out against the loud noises of the guild, but it was unmistakable to Laxus. He followed the sounds till he came to the far corner of the guild. Laxus ducked under the table, and found a small girl there. She had short brown hair, and was wearing a small orange dress. She looked only a few years younger than Laxus. The girl hugged her knees to her chest as she cried softly.

"If you're going to keep crying, I'm going to have to tape your mouth closed to keep you from making so much noise." The girl looked up in surprise. Her eyes were puffy from crying so much.

The girl sniffled, and whipped her tears. "I-it's n-not like anyone is going to notice. It's to noisy here anyway." She stammered.

"I didn't say anyone else would notice." Laxus said. He bent down and sat in front of her. "I noticed. And I don't like it when people are crying at my guild." She sniffled a little, looking at him. Laxus sighed. "So why are you crying?"

The girl drifted her gaze back to the floor. "One of the guys asked me to fight him."

Laxus nodded. That was definitely Natsu. "And?" he prodded.

She sniffed. "I-I got scared. I don't want him to hurt me."

"He's not going to hurt you. Natsu says that to everyone, you can just ignore him if you want."

The girl bit her lip, small tears coming out. "y-yeah but..." she stammered.

Laxus, sighed, putting a hand behind his head, feeling kind of embarrassed. "Listen, no one in this guild is going to hurt you alright. I-I promise, I won't let anyone hurt you, ok?"

The girl looked up at him; her eyes sparkled from her tears. "You-do you promise?"

Laxus made a face. "Yeah, sure I promise." Laxus got up, and held out a hand to her. "Come on, you're new here right? I'll show you around." The girl sniffed as she took his hand, a small smile starting on her face. "Hey, I didn't get your name. I'm Laxus by the way."

The girl looked up at him, her face shining and adorable. "Laxus-san. My name is..."

Laxus' eyes slowly opened the morning light beaming against his face. He groaned, put a hand over his face so he could block out the sun. Through his fingers, he saw the time on his bedside clock. 9:00, he figured he might as well go and grace the guild with his presence. He forced himself out of bed, and went to grab a shirt. His apartment was practically military clean, not a speck of dust could be seen. He walked over to the kitchen, and started making himself a coffee. As the dark liquid dripped into his cup, he thought about his dream.

The dream was kind of fuzzy to him, but he remembered that girls face clearly. He couldn't place it with any of the guild members. Maybe she had just been visiting that one time and never showed up again? Laxus sipped his coffee, as he grabbed a piece of toast before walking out of the apartment.

Back at the guild, Laxus was greeted with loud yelling. "LAXUS!" Laxus barely had time to look up before he was bombarded by his teammates. Bixlow and Freed tackled him to the ground, smiles blooming on their faces. "You're finally back! You took so long on that mission."

Laxus grunted in annoyance, trying to shove them off. "I came back yesterday you morons. Where was this home welcoming then?"

Evergreen rolled her eyes. "These two challenged someone to a drinking competition. They've been hung-over till 5 this morning, even though they lost miserably."

Laxus rolled his eyes. "Who did you challenge?"

Freed frowned. "No one, if was just me and Bixlow."

Laxus frowned. "But Ever just said that you challenged someone else, and lost miserably."

Ever frowned, "did I?" Laxus nodded. She shook her head. "Perhaps I'm just not thinking straight. Elfman was soooo mean to me when you were gone Laxus!"

"Shut up Ever!" Elfman yelled. "True men don't lie!"

"I'm not a man!" she yelled back. "I'm a girl! And don't call me Ever!"

Laxus ignored the bickering couple, and found a seat at a table close to the bar counter. "LAXUS!" Laxus groaned again looking up. "FIGHT ME!"

Laxus just held up his fist, allowing Natsu to run straight into it. "Not today fire brain." Natsu collapsed on the floor.

Mira came by, holding a bunch of drinks in her one hand. "Morning Laxus! Would you like to order anything?"

Laxus gave a wave of his hand. "Not today Mira, don't feel like going home drunk the day after a mission."

Mira smiled at him. "To bad, we're expecting a new shipment of drinks in today."

Laxus grunted. "Knowing this guild, we'll go through it in a night."

Mira laughed. "Maybe not that fast, we don't really have any heavy drinkers here." Just then a delivery man walked into the guild. "Oh, there it is now!" Mira called. She placed the drinks down on the table, before walking over to talk to the man. Laxus looked at the drinks in front of him, watching the bubbles on a Pepsi someone had ordered. He couldn't get the image of that girl out of his head. But it was just a dream right? What did it matter?

"What? This can't be right!" he looked up to Mirajane's voice. She was holding a clipboard, looking at it in dismay. "We didn't order this much."

Laxus got up, and walked towards her. "What's the problem?" he asked.

Mirajane looked at him. "The amount that we ordered is far too much for this guild. I couldn't have possibly ordered this much!"

"Maybe there was a mistake." Erza said, joining in on the conversation.

The man shook his head. "No mistake, I checked the order myself."

"Maybe you just weren't thinking and ordered too much." Laxus said. "Don't worry it won't go to waste." Mira nodded her eyes uncertain. She signed the sheet, and then went to show him where to drop it off.

"It's not like Mira to make a mistake like that." Erza thought aloud. Laxus nodded in agreement.

"It's probably nothing though." Laxus said, eye wandering the guild.

"It's not just that though." Erza said thoughtfully. "Something seems...off, with the guild today, can't you sense it?"

Laxus frowned. He was hoping it was just him, but he had felt as if something was not quite right since he walked in. "is someone away on a mission?" Laxus asked.

Erza shook her head. "Everyone's here today, other than Gildarts, but that's normal. And it's not just me that think it. I was talking Mirajane earlier. Something just doesn't feel right. Something's missing."

Laxus didn't say anything. He studied every inch of the guild, as if the building itself could give him the answer. He didn't mention it, but he had a feeling his dream might have something to do with it.

Cana POV

Cana yawned, stretching out her arms. She blinked a bit, before looking out the window of the train. The sun was blazing down, reflecting across the water beneath them. "Ugh, how much longer till we get there?" Cana looked in annoyance at Damien.

He smiled at her. "Not too long, we'll be there soon."

Cana huffed again. "Ugh, my head is killing me, I feel like Snow Whites seven little dwarfs are 'off to work' inside my head."

Damien laughed. "Maybe you shouldn't have drank so much then Cana."

Cana laughed, flopping back in her seat. "Well, it'll be good to see everyone again."

Damien nodded. "We've been gone for 3 months right? That's not too long."

"Sure, but still." Cana said, absentmindedly turning to look out the window. "I feel as though it's been a lot longer."

Damien smiled. "You'll be happy when you get there. You'll see."

Cana frowned. "What's that supposed to mean? Why wouldn't I be?"

Damien laughed. "No reason. Hey I'm going to go grab something to eat. I'll be right back." He leaned in and kissed Cana on the cheek, before heading into the hall. Cana blushed slightly, before yawning, and resting her feet on the empty seat in front of her. She and Damien had been dating for almost 6 months now. It had taken Damien almost 12 years to finally confess, much to Cana's annoyance. She often made fun of him for being such a coward all these years. Cana still stayed at her house her mother had left her, while Damien had his own place farther from town. Cana grinned, anticipating eating old Mrs. Goodworth's famous apple pie when she returned to her town.

Cana frowned. For some reason, she couldn't bring herself to call it home. She didn't understand why, but for some reason the word just didn't fit. Damien said she was probably just over thinking it, or it was the alcohol talking. Cana just shrugged to herself, before turning herself so she was on her side. She watched, as the train moved back on land, after passing over the bridge, the humming of the train casing her to drift into slumber.

"So you're a card mage huh?" Cana looked up to see a young boy, a few years older than her, with yellow spiked hair and a permanent scowl etched into his face.

Despite his foreboding features, young Cana smiled up at him. "Yup! My Mama gave me these cards for my birthday. Every time I did something good, she'd give me another one, sometimes she'd hide them in my room so I'd be encouraged to clean."

The boy laughed at her words. "You had a smart mother."

Cana grinned. "I always wanted to become a strong mage, but..."

"But what?" the boy asked, tilting his head.

Cana looked down to the ground. "I'm not very good. Even though mamma gave me a lot of cards, I'm still not very strong."

"Hey don't talk like that, I'm sure you'll become a great mage!" the boy protested.

Cana frowned. "But I have no way to learn. No one here is a card magician."

The boy frowned, "That's true." He put a hand to his chin, thinking. Suddenly, he snapped his fingers. "Hey, why don't you come on some missions with me?"

Cana looked surprised. "Huh?" Cana asked.

"Yeah!" the boy said grinning. "Me and my friends all go on missions together, so they wouldn't mind another member. That way you can practise your magic in action! There's no better way to learn than in battle!"

Cana looked at him, then she smiled. "Ok!" she chirped.

The boy smirked. "Great!" he said, patting her head. "Come on, we'll go check the board now!" the boy started walking, Cana following close behind.

"Cana, Cana?" Cana's eyes slowly opened.

"Hmm?" she moaned.

"You fell asleep." Damien said, handing her a plate. "Got you a burger."

Cana smiled, and reached for it gratefully. "Cheese and bacon?"

"Your favourite!" Damien grinned.

Cana smiled, before taking a bite out of her burger. "You know, I had a really weird dream before you woke me up."

"Oh really?" Damien asked, biting into his burger. "About what?"

Cana shrugged. "Nothing important, just a weird dream." Damien frowned at her for a moment, before shrugging and turning back to his meal. Cana starred off out the window, unable to get the image of that boy out of her mind. "Well who could blame me?" Cana asked, a smirk sneaking onto her face. "He was incredibly cute for a young boy."

Hey everyone! Ok, so that wasn't very good, but I liked how the first dream turned out. Also small note- in the Cana POV, it said that they had been dating for a few months. There was no time skip in the story line, that all has to do with the memory problem, it'll go more into detail with that later in the story. Please review, tell me if you liked it or didn't. I'll update as soon as possible!
