Thalia POV

I got the Fairytail mark on my upper leg and I heard a holler from across the room "Yo! Bozu*! Thalia-chan." I whipped around to see Laxus hollering at me. I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want, Laxus-San?" I yelled back. He was annoying me with his blonde hair and the scar over his eye and how he addressed me with 'kid' before my name. He annoyed me with how muscular he was, He annoyed me at his certainty with himself, he just annoyed the living crap out of me!

"I want to talk to you, Thalia-chan!" He yelled. "Now come over here!" I glanced over at Kiara, there's a chance she see's Laxus as her competition. She closed her eyes and breathed deep. Then she nodded, looking straight at me. I smiled uneasily and walked towards Laxus.

"Yes?" I asked.

"I want you on my team." Laxus said.

"We want you on our team." A man who had his face covered in what looked like a knight's helmet.

"We can no longer right fully claim the name thunder legion if you aren't here!" A brunette that reminded me of Annabeth smiled.

"Can Kiara join, too?" I asked, remembering her reaction.

She appeared at my shoulder, "I'm on a different team, don't worry about me. I'm fine," She smiled at me brightly, and I pretended not to notice the glare she gave Laxus as she walked back to join Wendy, Natzu, Lucy, Grey, and Erza.

"I'm Freed," said a green-haired man who gave me a Christmas reindeer vibe "This is Bickslow," He gestured towards the knight guy "And this is Evergreen." he pointed at the woman who made me think of Annabeth.

"Its nice to meet you Freed-San, Bickslow-san," I couldn't help but use the term of endearment for Evergreen "Evergreen-chan."

She quirked an eyebrow and didn't say annything I turned to Laxus "I'll think about it Laxus-san."

"Don't wait too long, were going on a job once we decide between the s-class mission or the normal mission." I nodded and walked up to Nico.

"Nico, I've found a flaw in your theory."

"Enlighten me." He smiled.

"Evergreen is Annabeth." I hissed "I'm sure."

"That's part of the reason I brought you here, so you could Iron these things out." He smiled, I was still shocked at the optimism Nico was capable of here in Mangolia "Glad I've been enlightened."

I ran over to the table, I missed the old days so much that I just couldn't say no to the offer of traveling with Anna and Luke again. "So what quest are we going on?"

They laughed "Good to know you're coming, Thalia." Evergreen grinned just like Annabeth!

* Laxus calls Thalia Bozu, then later, Thalia complains about how Laxus calls her 'Kid'. Bozu is usually put at the end of a boy's name and has the same conotaiton as the slang term 'kid'. Sometimes in a phrase like what Laxus said('Yo, bozu' meaning 'Hey, kid') It can be used on its own.
