"Why is she so quiet?" Gray muttered quietly, glancing at the new girl. He blushed as he remembered thinking that she was pretty. After she had regained consciousness and got back from Porlyusica's, at least.
"We all saw how she got here, Gray." Cana said, rolling her eyes at him before looking at the girl with a sympathetic glance. "Master told us that she was brought her from some other world. That's a lot to take in, and she's only been here for a few days."
"Give her a chance to adjust." Levy agreed, glancing at Gray from behind her book. "Still…" With that, she caught Cana and Lisanna's eyes, nodding in the direction of the new girl ever so slightly.
She got up, tucking her book under her arm, as she went to sit with the new girl, Hayden. A moment later she was joined by Cana and Lisanna.
"Hello." She greeted the girl with a warm smile, to which the girl returned nervously. "My name is Levy."
"I'm Lisanna, and she's Cana." Lisanna said, motioning to the other girl as her name came up.
"Hayden. It's nice to meet you." The girl responded, eyes brightening a bit.
"So, how do you like Fairy Tail so far?" Cana asked curiously.
"This place is wonderful!" Hayden said with a gasp of awe, before she blushed slightly, embarrassed. "It's so different than what I'm used to."
"What was the world that you came from like?" Levy asked, ever the inquisitive one. Hayden bit her lip, pondering the question.
"Well, I suppose magic exists in that world, since apparently I have it." She mused. "But I think the people who can use magic are hidden away from everyone else. Porlyusica told me that my parents were mages, but they died when I was a baby. After that, I lived with my aunt and uncle, who really didn't like even hearing about magic, or anything they didn't think was normal."
"That must have been hard." Lisanna said sympathetically. "My parents died when I was little, too. My brother, Elfman, and my sister, Mira, take care of me."
"My mom died a few years ago." Cana added. "And my dad…doesn't know I exist. My mom left him before I was born." She was startled that she had actually just told someone that, much less a stranger, but she doubted any of these girls would tell anyone or judge her for it."
"My parents are researchers." Levy spoke up, feeling a bit guilty. Her parents were still alive, while her friends' weren't. "They're in Egypt on a job, but they couldn't bring me with them, so I came here with their permission."
"Egypt?" Hayden asked, perking up. "There's a place called Egypt where I come from, too."
"Really?" Lisanna asked, surprised. "What do you know about it?"
"It's supposed to be really hot, and there's a huge 'sea' of sand for as far as the eye can see!" Hayden responded, remembering how she heard one of her aunt's friends say that after going there for work. "I've never been there, but it sounded pretty cool. There are pyramids, where old pharaohs are buried when the die, and tombs riddled with traps. Well, that's what I was told, anyway." She said sheepishly, kind of embarrassed again.
All three of the other girls' eyes were wide.
"That sounds a lot like this world's Egypt!" Levy said, full of awe. "I wonder how many similarities your world has to ours."
Hayden shrugged, not really having a clue. She'd spent a good part of her time in a cupboard, and she wasn't allowed to watch the telly unless it was in class. "There are these things called cars, which are a lot like the things people here drive. Master Makarov told me they're powered by magic power?" The girls nodded. "In my world, they're powered by something called fuel. I'm not really sure what it is, only that it's brought up from the ground and it smells bad." She wrinkled her nose, and the others laughed.
Eventually, the conversation moved on to magic. Hayden was in awe when she saw Lisanna suddenly turn into a purple bunny, and she squealed in surprise when Cana and Levy demonstrated their card and solid script magic respectively.
"What kind of magic do you want to learn?" Lisanna asked, blue eyes curious.
"Well…I don't really know." Hayden mumbled, glancing up at them. "Your magic abilities and Master Makarov's are the only ones I've really seen up close. I don't know what anyone else here uses."
"Well, we can help with that!" Levy chirped, turning around on the stool to face the rest of the guild hall. "Let's see…" her eyes wandered around the room before she spotted someone. "There's Reedus! He uses Pict magic, where he can bring his drawings to life! He was really skinny, but he asked Master to use Titan magic to expand his torso so that he can use himself as a canvas."
"Woah!" Hayden said, wide-eyed. Bringing drawings to life sounded amazing!
"And there's Elfman and Mira!" Lisanna said, pointing to her siblings. "Elfman uses Beast Take Over, and Mira uses a few different kinds of Transformation magic, including Demon Take Over." She was about to say more, but Mira got into a fight with Erza, so she moved on.
"The redhead is Erza." Cana continued. "She uses Requip magic. Basically, she stores things in her own little pocket dimension and can bring them out at will." Hayden perked up a bit at that. She could have used that power to get food when she lived with the Dursleys.
"There's Natsu and Gray, too." Lisanna motioned to the two boys, whose fight had instigated the one between Mirajane and Erza.
"Natsu uses Fire Dragon Slayer magic." She muttered. "He was apparently raised by a dragon, before the dragon had to leave and Natsu came here. Gray uses Ice-Make magic. He's pretty good at making weapons with it."
Hayden looked amazed that apparently the pink-haired boy had been raised by a dragon, but shook it off. So many interesting types of magic, and those were only the people in the guild hall right at that moment!
What should she choose?
Review please!
And I've already decided what magic style(s) Hayden will learn, so her question at the end was rhetorical. ;)
