I really hafta speed up with the editing and rewriting. I've dragged on too long ==. And I've barely started on the new chapter for both FT AND KHR. Ugh. I thank anyone who even continues reading this lol. i have been putting ft on the back lately cause i hate waiting for new episodes, so when i finish watching you can bet i'll be back.
Ah! Also, this entire chapter will be in Runa's POV. Don't ask me why, just a spur of the moment decision.
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)
Rewritten 17/1/15, Uploaded 7/1/16 (wow one year later im so sorry xD)
Runa's POV
My head… It's KILLING me! Déjà Vu much! What happened?!
I slowly pried my eyes open, only to be met with rays of sunlight burning (or at least that's what it felt like to me) straight into my retinas. Just trying to open my eyes took so much effort; it was like trying to lift a 500 ton boulder with your bare hands. As my eyes finally readjusted to the light streaming in from around me, I remembered I was at my welcome party at the guild.
Craning my neck to see the situation in the guild hall, which was in an utterly chaotic mess, the first thing (or person in this sense) I saw was Mira.
"Oh~ you're awake! I was wondering when you bunch of sleepyheads would get up." She smiled at me, completely unfazed by the mess around her.
"Urg… What time is it?" I groggily asked, trying to lift myself up from my lying position.
"It's almost noon. Mind waking up your bunkmates?" and she gestured to Natsu, Gray and Cana face down on the floor… And me lying on top of them.
"HOLY SHIT." I half yelled and rolled (more like fell) off them, landing on the floor with a thump beside the out-cold Cana. "What happened….?"
"Cana happened. She somehow got all of you into a drinking contest and then you all passed out." Mira replied while cleaning up some of the mess.
"She's a mess." I said looking at Cana.
"Actually, so are you." Mira giggled. "Want to use the bathrooms downstairs?" (a/n: I'm not sure if they had bathrooms before the GMG, but I'm assuming there are. Heck its fanfiction after all. So bite me.)
"YES PLEASE."
After a hot shower later….
When I returned about an hour later, the guild had nearly returned to normal. Except that I noticed part of the guild members weren't around. Like Lucy and that bastard Wakaba. I walked over to the bar, ordered a glass of cold milk and some cheese sandwiches and sat beside Natsu, who was eating a flaming chicken. Wait, WHAT? Is it me or is he eating that chicken that is literally on FIRE?
"Natsu… Are you seriously eating that fire…?"
"Yuea. Owf kuorse. Huwaiy?" He tried giving me a clear answer with his full mouth but failed terribly.
"Natsu. Swallow then talk."
He finally swallowed and said: "Yeah. Of course. Why?" and then he tilted his head in the most clueless way possible. I resisted the urge to facepalm but my eye still twitched.
"Uh a normal person cannot eat fire! Even a normal fire mage can't eat fire!" Unless…. No. It couldn't be. I shook my head and picked up my glass of milk, lifting it to my mouth to let the cold creamy liquid roll down my throat.
"But I'm not a normal fire mage. I'm a dragon slayer." He replied blankly.
*SPIT-TAKE*
"What did you just say?!" I burst out, almost choking on my milk.
"I said I'm a dragon slayer."
OH. MY. GOD. Really? So there are more of us in this time? I could've jumped for joy if my head wasn't still killing me. I settled for screaming, much to the discomfort of many others in the guild due to hangovers.
"AWESOMEEEEE!"
"I know RIGHT?!" He seemed to misunderstand my reason for being happy but, meh, what the hell.
At that moment Lucy came into the guild with a troubled look on her face. She plopped herself onto the stool next to me and ordered a milkshake.
"Ne, are you ok Lucy?" I turned to her and asked. She looked like she was caught between a rock and a crazy place.
"I'm fine… just that my rent is due in 3 days and I'm broke thanks to Natsu and Gray destroying half the town on our last mission! Because of that 80% of our reward went to repairs…"
"It wasn't me! Ice-pants started it!" Natsu tried defending himself but to no avail.
"Natsu… I don't care who started it, but what matters is that you did most of the damage!" Lucy snapped at him.
"Err…. Guys? Why not just go on another mission and try not to destroy anything this time..?" I offered, getting a little uncomfortable with the yelling. Hangovers with splitting headaches and sensitive dragon hearing do NOT go well together.
"If that worked we'd be having world peace right now." Lucy sarcastically replied.
"Lucyyyy… I said I'm sorry!" Natsu pleaded, wanting to avoid his friend's anger.
"You never did!" Lucy yelled.
"GUYS!" I couldn't take being in the middle of them anymore; my ears were ringing for goodness sake! "Just go on another mission and try restraining him... Arguing doesn't help…"
Lucy took a deep breath and calmed herself. "Fine. But if you destroy so much as a teacup on this mission I swear I'll kill you." She warned Natsu. He just nodded.
"GREAT! I'm gonna go pick out a mission!" Natsu said before speeding off.
"He never learns…" Lucy sighed in defeat.
"He's like a kid." I smiled fondly. His actions reminded me of Mavis' childishness…
"You have no idea." Lucy replied in a monotone voice before perking up. "Do you want to join us?"
"ME?" I said surprised, head whipping to face her.
"Yeah why not? We could always use another nakama on the team." Lucy said brightly.
"Well…I don't know… but if you don't mind…" I muttered, twiddling with my fingers. I was uncertain. I wasn't a socialite after all.
"Then how about just for this mission? You don't have to stay with our team all the time if you don't want to."
"Then I guess…I'm in!" I smiled at her.
"Oh so we've got Runa with us on this job?" a voice came from behind us.
"Erza!" Lucy exclaimed in shock. "Yeah since she hasn't been on jobs for a while, it might be good for her to get back in the game." she explained to the redhead towering above us.
"Plus I need some money too." I added.
"Wait, Natsu picked a job already? And showed it to you first?" Lucy said, surprised.
"Yes. Is that weird?" Erza asked with such a serious tone, it bordered on hilarity.
"N-no! Not at all!" Lucy stammered.
"Good then. We'll wait for Gray to show up then we'll leave." Erza stated.
"Why do we have to wait for him?" I whined. I didn't like how he made me sneeze yesterday.
"Because he's still part of our team."
"Darn." I cursed under my breath.
"Lucyyy! I got us a neat job!" Natsu came running over with Happy behind him.
"AYE SIR!"
"Good. I think you guys should head out and get ready first. I'll drag Gray's ass over." Erza ordered.
"Ok then. Where's the client?" I asked.
"Oshibana. 3 hours train ride from Magnolia. So we'll meet at the train station in half an hour. Agreed?" Erza said with such force that I couldn't say anything against it.
"Fine with me." I said.
"Ok…." Lucy said defeated.
"NOT THE TRAIN!" Natsu wailed.
