I'm back once more. yes i know it's been a long time. i already warned you. btw I'm TRYING to turn all the POV switches into a 3rd POV, making it easier for us all. And, um, I never really said what each font means now did I? Even though what it means seems obvious to most of you.

"normal speaking"

'thoughts'

(A/Ns)

See what I mean?

WARNING! FT AIN'T MINE, SLOW UPDATES, POSSIBLE OOC-NESS AND LIGHT CUSSING. But expect good grammar, cause I can't stand bad grammar (no offense to anyone out there).

Gray was twitching, albeit unconsciously. Deciding that sitting alone and fidgeting would not help, he walked over to Natsu and Lucy's Table.

"This is a little unsettling" Lucy was saying to the pinkette.

"You're just imagining things. Maybe it's someone looking to join the guild!" cue facepalm from Lucy and Gray.

"You don't think do you? A normal person looking to join the guild wouldn't be covering her face and master wouldn't have to ask Erza and Mira and that girl to enter his office." Gray retorted, sitting down opposite Natsu.

"SEE! Gray makes a point! You're just too optimistic to see it." Lucy smiled brightly as Gray backed her up.

"Hey! Why are you siding with that Popsicle! And isn't being optimistic a good thing?!" Natsu looked a little hurt. He pouted, turning his face to the side.

"But you're being optimistic at the wrong times!" Lucy retorted. This just got Natsu to turn back to his blonde partner and look her dead in the eye before responding:

"Am not!"

"Are too!" She shot back.

"Am not!"

"Are too!

"Am not!"

"What just happened proved that YOU ARE!" Lucy was losing her patience, standing up to almost-headbutt Natsu with puffed up cheeks.

"ENOUGH!" Erza bellowed as she walked past them with Mira in front of her, promptly stunning the latter into stark silence. "We'll ask master to explain so stop bickering!"

"AYE SIR!" They all saluted. It was unanimous that they had enough of Erza's wrath today.

In Makarov's office

Thanks to Makarov's previous comment in the last chapter, He and Runa broke out into yet another verbal fight. Luckily the office was too small for them to start chasing each other around like a bunch of 5 year olds. And the papers and books strewn all over the place would prove to be rather hazardous for running children, since they themselves didn't seem to have grown up at all. But, I digress.

"I WAS the master! Even if it was only a few months!" Runa almost growled.

"Aha but the word is WAS." Makarov snickered.

"It still happened! So suck it up little old man!"

"I TOLD YOU TO CALL ME MASTER!" A vein popped from his forehead.

Just as Runa was about to lash out another insult, Mira knocked on the door.

"Master? We're here"

"Shut up and sit down" he ordered Runa.

"Tch." But she did as told.

"Come in."

And the two s-class mages walked in, causing the room to become tense. Makarov massaged his temples again.

'Sigh. I feel a headache coming on. How did I end up bickering with a… come to think of it, I never asked her age. She looked about, what, 19? 20? 'He thought to himself as Erza and Mira filed into his office, keeping their eyes on Runa. He could tell she was getting uncomfortable due to all the stares.

"Take a seat you two." He gestured to the sofa. An awkward silence settled over the place for a moment until Makarov cleared his throat to speak.

"All right, I know you're wondering who this is, so I'll just say it. This, is Runa." And she played along by taking off her hood and brushing the hair that covered her mark to the side.

Shock crossed Erza's face and Mira looked like she saw a ghost.

'Geez, I may be terrifying (sometimes) but not THAT terrifying! 'The silence was getting rather uncomfortable for the dragon slayer.

"Um. Hi?" Runa sheepishly raised a hand in greeting.

"Master… How? Who is she? Why does she have the guild mark?" Erza finally spoke.

"Err… Let me introduce myself. I'm Runa Vermillion Crystalia. To put it simply, I am not from this time. I was caught in a kind of time skip and ended up 90 years from when I am supposed to be."

"Vermillion…? Isn't that the first's surname?" Mira seemed to have snapped out of it.

"Well, I am related to her if you're wondering."

"But that's impossible! The first died a long time ago!" Erza retorted. "Who are you?!" and she pointed a sword at her, breaking into a panic.

'WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?' Runa internally screeched before thinking: 'Great. I have to explain from scratch. AGAIN. Here we go.'

After a lot of explaining, yelling, confusion, calming Erza down and more explaining later…

Runa slumped down on the office chair she had previously occupied, sinking into it as much as she could. 'Explaining things to these two was worse than explaining to master!'

"So… let me get this straight. You're really a founder and member of the guild?" Erza asked for the umpteenth time with crossed arms, eying the redhead who looked like jelly on an office chair.

Runa could feel a vein popping at this point.

"For the millionth time, YES."

The moment those words left her mouth, the two S-class mages relaxed rather visibly. The tense atmosphere that had been surrounding them also dissipated.

"At least we know you're not a threat." Mira smiled at her.

"There is something that I was wondering though." Master suddenly spoke, catching their attention. "If you were the master at one point, why didn't your name appear in the guild's archives?"

"...I guess it was because we didn't have an archive at that time. I don't know about after I went MIA but when I was still around there wasn't one." Runa shrugged in her seat. "Also, back then new guilds had a probation of half a year before it would be set in stone. It would take that long to get everything done and within that time, official information can be changed with more ease, not to mention everything that was previously written down wouldn't be recorded. Not surprising that I was forgotten yet again..." she muttered the last part to herself sadly but they still heard it. The three shared a worried glance amongst them.

"Ok then, now that this is settled, should we introduce you to the rest of the guild?" Makarov gestured to the door.

Outside the office

Usual mayhem was happening. Until the click of master's office door was heard. Everyone turned towards the door, and somehow they knew something big was about to be set into motion.

Runa's POV

The door to the office opened with a soft click. We had decided to let me introduce myself to the guild. But… why am I so freaking nervous?! It's not my first time speaking to the guild goddamnit!

"Deep breaths Runa." Mira sensed my nerves and tried to calm me.

I smiled weakly. At this point only master, Erza and Mira knew the full story. But they didn't say anything about me being a dragon slayer. I made them promise not to tell the guild as I wanted them to find out themselves. Cue the evil glint in my eyes.

As we made our way to the center of the guild, they never stopped staring. It was getting creepy.

"Let's just get this overwith." I sighed, glancing at Makarov (I wasn't ready to acknowledge him as my master justyet). He just nodded.

"OI BRATS LISTEN UP!" The guild went silent. "I know you all are wondering who this is. I will now introduce her to you all. She is an old member of the guild, and has just returned. So, let us hear what she has to say."

I walked up to where master was standing. I removed my hood and was greeted with an array of reactions and comments.

Gasps.

Jaws dropping.

Odd and ridiculously stupid comments.

"An old member?" 'didn't the little old man just say that?!'

"Never seen her!" 'Well no shit there Sherlock! I'm not even supposed to exist!'

"Who's that hottie?!" ok this one ticked me off. I made a mental note to freeze whoever said that.

"AHEM." I cleared my throat. "First off, I am NOT a treat so you morons can stop burning your stares into my back." People sweatdropped.

"Continuing, my name is Runa Crystalia. I am indeed an old member of Fairy Tail. My guild mark proves it. I was caught in a (sorta) time skip and ended up in this time. I am supposed to be in the year x694." Murmurs were heard throughout the guild. "BUT. Here I am in this time. And I can't go anywhere. So, I hope you can still accept me as a part of the guild, even though we've never met."

I braced for anything. Then, cheers erupted. Huh?

"Party to welcome Runa's return!" a pink haired boy yelled. Waitasecond. PINK HAIR?

"Natsu! That's my line!" master yelled.

The guild erupted in chaos. Makarov smiled at me. No. smirked.

"YOU. You knew this would happen." I pointed at him accusingly. Busted.

"Maybe." He grinned evilly. "Come on. This is your party. Go make friends with them."

"Well... No harm there right?" I smiled and ran to freeze that dimwit and ask that pink haired kid about his hair. I mean, PINK FREAKIN HAIR! Who has pink hair?!

Looks like I could get used to this new Fairy Tail.
