I suck, don't I? ;-;
I sorry I was so delayed on updating! AGAIN!
And it's short too :(, I would've written mo, but I noticed that I didn't have a lot of time to.
The reasons for updating late are: 1)School started! and I already have gotten tons of home work. 2) My B-day was on Sunday, so I was just lazy that day.
That's it.
Well, enough chit-chatter...
Let's read!
Aurea practically pulled the two people behind her through the doors of the Fairy Tail guild, laughing constantly. For some reason, she couldn't wait to get back to the building she had woken up in only a day earlier. Maybe it wasn't the building, but the people she had instantly grown a liking to. Or maybe it was just the bright vibes that erupted from the happy area. Though the reason was unknown to her, that didn't stop her from wanting more than anything to get back to that wonderful place. So, naturally, right when she got through the doors; she let go of her two "passengers" and ran around the room like a complete maniac. When she reached the bar, she leapt up to the counter, latching on with only her arms, her legs dangling under her, and smiled widely.
"Morning Mira!" she greeted happily when she saw the sweet woman.
"Oh, good morning Aurea. You're here early." Mira replied.
"Yup!" Aurea giggled before releasing the counter and falling to the ground.
After this, she went around greeting everyone that she passed happily, and always getting a joyful response back. Lucy and Kai had now settled down at a table, not surprisingly, talking to Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Erza. Aurea had come to understand that the five of them, excluding Kai, created "Team Natsu". She didn't know what they did, nor what anyone really did at this guild, but she intended to find out today. After greeting everyone in the room, she walked over to the table and tugged on Lucy's sleeve.
"Hm?" Lucy asked as she turned around, "Oh, hey Aurea, what's wrong?"
"Well, I wanted to ask you about wha—" she started to reply, but was stopped by the guild doors bursting open.
When she quickly turned around she saw two people, along with two cats, walk through the door. The first was a muscular man with long, black hair that spiked, but not as much as Natsu's. He had tan skin with what seemed to be metal bolts lined up in random areas. He wore a black, or very dark blue, cloak with what seemed to be feathers lining one of the sleeveless shoulders. The other shoulder held a black Fairy Tail stamp. The cat beside him was a black cat with a white patch on his mouth and on the bottom of his paws, he wore dark-green pants and he had round ears that oddly resembled a panther's. The second person was a small girl who Aurea thought to be at least 12 years old (sorry, that's always thought her age was) with dark blue hair that was tied up in two pigtails. Her eyes were a deep brown and she wore an orange-yellow dress. She also had a Fairy Tail mark on her shoulder like the man's. The cat beside her was completely white with a red dress on, her eyes the same color as the girl's.
"Well that was a fun job." the girl said quietly.
"It sure was, interesting." the black cat commented.
Curious about these new people, Aurea forgot about her question and all her attention was on the four people, yes including the cats, that just came through the door. She now knew where she was, and that everyone here was totally nice, so she wasn't as shy as she was when she first awoke in Fairy Tail. It was actually quite the opposite, she was totally curious now, and didn't wait a single second to meet the strange people. Surprisingly, she ran up the tallest, and frankly scariest, person who walked through the door. She ran up to the black-haired man and tugged slightly tugged the bottom of his coat.
"Excuse me, sir, who are you?" she asked, getting the man's attention.
"Who's askin'?" the man replied, sounding quite grumpy.
"Oh, I'm Aurea!" she replied happily, gripping the skirt of her summer dress in anticipation, "So what's your name?"
"I still don't know why I should tell some kid like you." he said grumpily, causing Aurea's expression to fall.
Before she could say anything back, a sweet voice spoke to her nicely.
"Oh, hello there! I'm Wendy, I haven't seen you around before!" the blue-haired girl named Wendy exclaimed nicely.
Hearing the girl's nice voice caused Aurea's expression to turn bright and sunny once more and caused her to direct her golden eyes towards Wendy. "Hi Wendy!" she exclaimed, "I just woke up here yesterday, and now I'm part of your guild!" she continued, pointing to the golden symbol on her neck.
"Hey, I've never met you two either. Where've you guys been for the last few days?" Kai asked, walking up to the two people. "M' name's Kai, by the way." he finished.
"Oh, well Gajeel and I were just on a job for about a week. I'm guessing you joined the guild too?" she replied, informing the two children that the man's name is Gajeel.
"Yup!" Kai replied happily, showing off his silver Fairy Tail symbol.
"So you're name's Gajeel?" Aurea asked the man Wendy called Gajeel, "Well nice to meet you Mr. Gajeel!" she exclaimed, but got no response from the dark-haired man. Her expression fell, but it soon switched to an expression of determination. He seemed so, well, dark. Like there was a literal cloud raining on his head, and Aurea did not like it. So, being the adorable child she was, she figured that the only way to get him out of this depressed mood; was to destroy that little cloud over his head. To do this, she giggled slightly and held onto her hand like it was some sort of weapon, she then pointed her index finger right over Gajeel's head and sent two tiny sparks of light to that location, adding her own little pew, pew effects when she did it. The sparks sailed over Gajeel's head and 'exploded', turning into two tiny little fireworks. "Now you don't have to be grumpy Mr. Gajeel! I got rid of the cloud!" Aurea childishly exclaimed, but completely believing ever word she said.
"What the—" Gajeel replied, confused.
"Wow! Is that your power, it's pretty cool." Wendy exclaimed before Gajeel could say anything bad around the young children.
"Thanks!" Aurea giggled, "So what's your power?" she asked, curious.
"Oh, well, I'm a Sky Dragon Slayer and—" Wendy started.
"'Dragon Slayer'!? Why would you wanna slay dragons!?" Aurea suddenly cried out, hugging herself, "Sorry, but that's evil." She said sadly, sitting down on the floor and hugging her knees, her eyes wide open as she started to rock back and forth.
Kai looked at her, slightly worried. The young girl's attitude just switched from happy and cheerful to well, a feeling of pure fright and… regret? Yes, that seemed to be it. He saw it in her eyes; he saw that feeling, regret, plenty of times in the last week, mainly mirrored on his own face. He started to reach down, to comfort the child, but was stopped by the frantic explanations told by Wendy.
"No, no, no, no, no! It's just a name! I'd never actually hurt a dragon, I mean, I was practically raised by one! I mean, my main powers are healing and supporting others! Don't be scared, or sad, it's just a name!" she explained, waving her hands in front of her, a visual sweat-drop appearing on the side of her face.
"Yeah kid, don't freak out. I've never killed a dragon in my life, and I don't plan to." Gajeel grumbled.
"Yeah, we've just got the power to do that, I doubt any of us you actually kill a dragon." Natsu said from the table that held Team Natsu.
"Oh! Okay then!" Aurea replied, jumping up, now just as cheerful as before. "So, you're a dragon slayer too, huh Mr. Gajeel? What type?" she asked, glad to have gotten a partial answer to her earlier question.
Gajeel sighed, this girl was persistent. "There's just no way of shaking you, is there?" he muttered, not expecting anyone else to hear.
"Nope!" Aurea exclaimed happily, obviously she heard him.
"If you must know, I'm an Iron Dragon Slayer." Gajeel grumbled, not adding a single detail.
"Iron!?" Aurea exclaimed, more than just excited, "I've never even heard of that! Can you show me some of your skills!? Please!" Aurea asked frantically, her mind bouncing all over the place with excitement.
"I don't see why I should show a pipsqueak like yo—" Gajeel started, dissing Aurea again.
"PWEASE!" she begged setting her giant puppy eyes of cuteness to full-cuteness-power!
Gajeel just stood there, it looked like he was annoyed, but really he was trying to keep his composure. It was just…too…cute. His face started to twitch and his lip seemed to struggle to stay in a straight line. Soon enough, his whole body was shaking as he tried not to flip-out with cuteness overload, he hoped the girl would just give up, but that wasn't happening any time soon.
"Fine." he finally grumbled, on the verge of exploding.
"YAY!" Aurea exclaimed, releasing Gajeel from her attack. "Oh, and what are your names?" she asked the two cats.
"Hello, my name is Carla." the white cat greeted.
"And I'm Pantherlily." the black one (I'm not racist! ;o;) said soon after.
"So…. Are you guys exceeds too? Like Happy?" she inquired.
They both nodded.
"Well, it's nice to meet you both!" Aurea exclaimed, before running up to the table that held Team Natsu, Kai following close behind. She stood on her tip-toes and placed her chin on the table cutely. "Hey, since Gajeel's showing me his magic skills, can you guys show me yours!? Heck, I don't even know what powers some of you have." she asked cutely, gaining the result of everyone saying 'yes'.
"YAY!" she exclaimed while running towards the guild doors. "Come on, let's do it outside so nobody breaks anything!" she suggested happily, grabbing Kai's arm with one hand and Gajeel's, well, half of his; her hands weren't big enough to fit around his whole arm.
With that, she drag the two boys out of the guild hall, the rest of the group following close behind.
This should be fun.
PandaDerPepper: Yup! I mean, well, I like sleeping on the floor, but I am partially insane so... yeah, I can't make it without the mix either XD. Wow, yet another wonderful idea. Thank you. I will put that in sometime! Just for the heck of it! X3
