the girl exclaimed as she looked at the building, a nice crest in the center.
"Yes my dear Maekan! This the one!"
Makarov replied as he ruffled the little girl's hair. Laxus stood next to her, as he held her hand.
"Lets go inside Mae-chan!"
he called out as he started to lead the girl inside the guild. The small girl complied and followed the blonde haired mage inside the building amazed, at the amount of different mages.
"Wow, its so loud.."
Maekan giggled as she walked around with the blonde mage. Many people greeted the small kids as they passed by some,
following the guild master up the stairs.
"Hey gramps, why are some people looking at us like we're freaks?"
Laxus asked as he looked down at them, finally reaching the second floor. Maekan followed and looked down with him, just barely reaching the railing since she was rather short for her size. She looked at them, then back to their grandfather, who was lazily sitting in his office.
"Nee, Nee! Jii-chan! when are we going to get our tattoo thingys?"
The small girl cooed as she sat on the her grandfather's lap, Laxus taking a seat on the bed across from the two.
"Oh! That's right! Here."
He smiled as he placed Maekan onto Laxus' lap and went to go fetch a rubber stamp. He looked at the two with a proud face and grinned.
"Who wants to go first?"
he asked the two. They both looked at each other and smiled.
"I'll go first jii-chan!"
Maekan chimed as she took a few steps toward the elder. The man smiled and looked at her.
"Where would you like it, Mae-chan?"
he asked as he watched her think of a place. She thought for a while, slightly knocking on her head a few times trying to get the idea inside her head.
"Oh! I know!"
she smiled as she lifted her shirt a little, the thunder mage in the backround having a slight blush on his face. She pointed to her right hip with a hug grin plastered on her face.
"Right here Jii-chan!I want it here!"
she giggled, waiting for him to place the stamp there. The man looked at her with a questioning look but shrugged it off. He went over to her and stamped her right hip, a nice shade of blue to black of the guild crest.
"There you go! Now you're an official member of Fairy Tail!"
he announced with a smile. The girl looked down at her tattoo and smiled brightly.
"Thank you Jii-chan!"
she cooed, hugging the old man with her tiny arms. Makarov chuckled as he hugged her back, setting her back down on her feet. He watched as she went over to Laxus, showing the guild mark.
"Alright Laxus, your turn."
he smiled as the boy returned it, starting to make his way toward him.
"Alright my boy, where do you want it?"
"Hmm..I want it here."
he replied as he lifted his shirt, showing a part of his chest. Makarov looked behind Laxus as he heard a small yelp of embarrassement. He chuckled as the once excited girl from before was now embarrassed with a flushed face, hiding behind a pillow. Makarov nodded and placed the stamp, pulling away as it showed a yellow verison of Maekan's tattoo.
"There you are."
he smiled at the two, putting the stamp away. He hugged the two kids and grinned, slight tears falling off his face.
"You kids are so grown up now! I can't believe it!"
he said as he started to sulk, trying to stop his tears. Laxus sighed as he face palmed himself, Maekan trying to soothe her grandfather's tears. They stayed in the guild for the night as they were going to go back to the house to gather their things, planning on moving into the guild.
"Nee, Laxus-nii.."
"Yeah Mae?"
"Did you notice those papers on that board over there near the door? What are those?"
"Well, those are called missions. People go on them to earn money."
"Can we go on a mission Laxus-nii? I want to go! I want to go!"
"Maybe later, Jii-chan won't let us right now. Besides! We need to practice our magic first."
"Fine.."
"Maekan.."
"Hm? Yes Laxus-nii?"
"When we go on a mission together, promise me that you'll stay by my side, okay?"
"Okay! I promise!"
"That's good..thank goodness.."
