Chapter 2

Magnolia:

Serena thankfully had heard about the insanity of the Fairy Tail Guild and after joining, getting her mark on her right shoulder as well, hers being silver she and Natsu set out to help Romeo Conbolt's father Macao. The female teen does stop to get winter weather apparel as not everyone happened to be like Natsu. Natsu bites down his impatience because he knew she had a point, she would need the proper apparel. Requip would allow her to change quickly. The blonde was deciding what she would need to do for this mission. She could understand why Natsu had acted as he had. The only father he had known had disappeared and she had never known hers, mostly because her mother had kicked the lout out when it became clear he was a damned gold digger.

The instant they reached the mountain she Requipped into her winter gear, " Can you even fight in that? " Natsu asks her.

Serena's left eyebrow twitches, " Natsu, I am also a Celestial Spirit Mage. Remember, you run out of power I'm your only external source around here. "

Natsu gulps, that tone had been way too similar to Erza Scarlet's, Titania, Queen of the Fairies. " Gomen, Serena. "

Serena just shrugs, " Let's go get our Guild Mate and go home. "

" I can agree with that. " Natsu admits.

Time Gates:

Sailor Pluto was still trying to figure out how everything went so wrong, they were all happy. " Daughter, watch the actions of your queen once more. " Queen Aurista of Pluto commands.

At first she didn't see it but then she noticed, " Why are her eyes so dead? "

" Because she was never given a choice, she was told she had to marry Endymion. Tsukino Usagi died the very day she married Endymion. What was your queen was essentially a shell of a person, she fulfilled her Fate and finally gained enough strength to relinquish her immortality so that she may have a new life where she actually gets to choose for herself and maybe finally be happy for once. After she became Sailor Moon her life went downhill. Kou Seiya was one individual that recognized this and for a time Usagi was happy again until you Outers fucked that up for her. " Aurista snaps, she had never been more disappointed in her daughter, " Events can be time locked, but not entire futures. The future is never written in stone, my idiot child. "

Sailor Pluto flinches as she continues to watch and her garnet eyes are wide with horror. The misery of the queen was plain to see and yet none of them did. None of them saw their queen was just existing. Her movements were listless, she barely paid attention to Chibi Usa, after the birth of her daughter Endymion was subsequently kicked out of their room too. Why hadn't any of them noticed! " None of you noticed because you were all thrilled with the thought of Crystal Tokyo, you all wanted it and in the end Usagi was asked to sacrifice far too much of herself to please her court and not the other way around.

Magnolia:

Natsu and Serena find themselves continually dodging the attacks of a Vulcan though Serena did make use of her teleportation magic. Serena would summon Tauros but she did not want to deal with the perverted Celestial Spirit, she preferred Aquarius for a reason after all. Both teens get punched straight into a cavern and Serena is worse off what with the fact Natsu was more durable. The blonde still gets to her feet though and starts going over the fight, it was almost like the Vulcan knew how Natsu fought but how was that…damn, the Vulcan was Macao.

Serena starts gathering her magical power, a circle showing up under her feet easily enough, Natsu blinks, " Serena, what's up? "

" Just keep our playmate busy and get out of the way when the magic I'm gathering reaches its crescendo, okay, otherwise you will be without your magic for a while. "

Natsu nods and keeps his magic sense on his partner while still battling their foe, it was then he realized their playmate was actually able to predict him, " Macao, what the hell did you let happen to yourself! " Natsu exclaims as he punches the older man down and leaps out of the way as Serena's Dispel magic surges forward and frees Macao from his possession.

" Thanks, Natsu and…? "

" I'm Serena Heartfilia. "

" New member, huh? "

" Yep, be grateful my mother paid to have me taught Dispel magic. " Serena says, " Now, can we get the hell out of here. Unlike a certain dragon slayer, the rest of us are not equipped with internal heaters. "

Macao laughs outright at this, " Where the hell did you find her, Natsu? "

" I found him in Hargeon. " Serena states.

" You're going to fit right in at Fairy Tail, Serena. Especially if you can actually deal with Natsu. " Macao says.

Natsu's onyx eyes flash, Macao was so getting pranked later, for now they would head home to Fairy Tail. Natsu was going to let Serena crash at his place until she found an apartment to rent. Needless to say Serena hit the bar for food the instant they got back. Mirajane Straus just keeps bringing her food, she knew the results of magic use. " How much power did you use anyhow, Serena? "

" Requip to change into weather and terrain appropriate gear, teleportation while fighting, and then I summoned up a lot for Dispel magic to save Macao since the fool got himself possessed. Then Requip again to get back into my preferred outfit. " Serena answers.

Mirajane keeps the food coming, that much magic would leave a person very hungry. Serena also was downing chocolate milk like there was no tomorrow. Natsu was quick to join in on the feeding frenzy along with Macao, they all needed food. What stunned everyone was that Serena could keep pace with Natsu when it came to eating and she outlasted him, even though he started after she did, " I have a wicked fast metabolism and using that much magic just made it worse. I snack all day for a reason. " Serena says.

" No wonder you made me pay for my own food, paying for both of us would bankrupt you. " Natsu says.

" If I don't use much magic I can get by with three meals a day and minor snacking, throw in magic use…" Serena says.

" You end up eating enough to feed twenty no magic using people easily enough. " Mirajane says.

" Pretty much. "

Serena worked out dues and all that with Makarov since the girl wanted a nest egg in case everything went to shit. It was understandable after all. Once her hunger is finally sated she downs a glass of apple juice and starts to get to know her Guild Mates. She and Laki Olietta hit if off because Laki happened to be a Wood Make Mage and she was a Fire Make Mage, they could team up to wreak some pretty impressive damage. Natsu had never even thought about that and suddenly Laki finds herself chatting with Natsu and Serena about different ways to ignite wood to get the hottest and best fire going.

The rest of the guild was shuddering in fear at the mere thought of what a Fire Dragon Slayer, a Fire Make Mage, and a Wood Make Mage could do together. The lavender haired female was surprised to find out that Natsu was actually far more intelligent than he acted most of the time. Though she knew why he did it, he wanted to be underestimated so when he kicked ass his audience was left stunned. Laki also offered to let Serena crash with her as well until she could rent an apartment but Serena declined the invitation, " You're a quiet one and the quiet ones are always the scariest ones alive. Besides, miss the chance to live with the living heat pack, hell no. "

Natsu rolls his eyes, none of the other girls had even figured out that his natural body heat was very good at easing certain pains. Serena had pegged that immediately and knowing how females thought she was going to make sure to stake her claim before the rest of Fairy Tail's female guild members actually caught on to that. Laki blinks and starts banging her head on the table they were sitting at, calling herself several different kinds of stupid for not thinking of that sooner. The pink haired teen snickers at this while Serena laughs at the reaction of her fellow make mage, " How did none of us see that? " Laki moans.

" Mostly because I never let on that my body temperature runs hotter than anyone else's. She knows because she's a Fire Make Mage. " Natsu admits.

Laki snickers, " Level in the Association? "

" S class. " Natsu and Serena answer her.

Laki's eyes widen at this even as stars fill them, " Teach me your ways, oh purveyors of mayhem. "

None of the guild could hear their conversation and so Natsu and Serena find themselves with a willing pranking apprentice and a new member of their team as well.
