It was unsettling. Every day since I'd been back things had been completely normal… or at least it was with everyone who wasn't named Laxus.

It's been at least a few months now. I rented a home outside of Magnolia in the woods, near a small river. It was a big house, with a nice sized front room, kitchen, a big closet, a full bathroom, and two bedrooms. It was 150,000 jewels a month, but being S-Class I made that easily. I was doing work, and I'd made it to S-Class. I hadn't done many S-Class jobs though, they were offering too much, I didn't need that much money. So often I took easy missions that offered lots of jewels.

I didn't have a team so I would go alone or team up with someone like Cana, or one of the youngers, like Erza, Gray, or Natsu, occasionally Levy and Team Shadow Gear, or even Elfman.

I had learned since I had returned that Laxus was now S-Class, so was Erza and a guy named Mystogan that I had never met. Also Lisanna had died on a mission, I had heard the horrible story from Cana. Personally I didn't know Lisanna very well, since she was very young when I had been a teenager in Fairy Tail.

Cana was same as ever, loving to drink, we had a drinking contest and of course she beat me.

I had learned the names of a couple new members, and had learned that Laxus's dad had been kicked out for good reasons. Personally I had never been fond of Laxus's dad, he was too extreme and risked the lives of his comrades.

It didn't take long for me to catch up with my old friends, excluding Laxus since he refused to talk to me, and if he did we exchanged sneer comments.

Currently I was sitting at the bar with Cana, she was drinking and I was just bored. I wore my blue crop top, black shorts and ankle boots but didn't have my jacket on. Erza was out on a mission so I couldn't learn any requiping today. I didn't want to learn to requip for fighting reasons, I didn't particularly like armor or weapons, but it would be handy to be able to pull stuff out whenever I needed it.

I was going to take on a job, but was trying to decide if I wanted to do an S-Class mission or not. I did need the money this time, for rent, plus I had a couple magic items I wanted to buy.

Before I could get up and go look for a job, I smelled a familiar Scent coming towards the guild.

It was Natsu and Happy, but with them was a girl I had never met before, she smelled like a celestial mage.

Natsu had gotten some friendly advice that a Salamander was in a town nearby, the town of Hargeon, so he and Happy had headed to check it out. I had warned them that it most likely wouldn't be who they were looking for, and I could tell it hadn't been.

Natsu Dragneel was a fire dragon slayer who hadn't unlocked his full power. He had pinkish hair and always wore a white dragon scale scarf. He was like me, his dragon friend Igneel had disappeared on the same day that Herona had, so we had a strong bond. I figured more dragons had disappeared on that day as well.

Happy was his cat, a blue cat who could use Aerial magic to sprout wings and fly. He had been hatched when Natsu found his egg one day. And he happened to love fish, and he could talk.

"Hey everyone, Natsu's Back! Happy is with him, and he has a new girl with him!" I called out, giving them a heads up.

A moment later Natsu kicked open the door with a serious fury, "We made it back alive!"

"We're Home!" Happy cheered.

Greetings rang out from around the small guild pub, people waving and giving thumbs up. I saw who they had with them. A young girl, definitely a celestial mage I could tell from the ring of keys she had. She also had a whip as a weapon, on a brown belt. She wore a short blue skirt and a short sleeve blue and white short. She had blonde hair that had a little pony tail in one side but otherwise was loose, and brown eyes.

Celestial mages used special keys they find to call upon the help of spirits, most likely the celestial spirits such as Cancer, Taurus, Leo, or more. It came quite handy but Celestial wizards often had nothing else to fight with, so if their spirits failed they were out of luck, since it took a lot of magic to summon one spirit, much less several, and definitely not all at once. They were rare since there was only one key for each spirit, and hard to come by, but this girl looked like she had quite a few.

The guild member, Krov, who had given Natsu the friendly gossip about the salamander, spoke up, "So I heard you went all out on Hargeon, Natsu! Had to go starting Trouble-"

He was interrupted by Natsu's foot in his face, kicking him all the way across the room and slamming him into a table. Thankfully we had a wood mage, so any tables that were broken, which happens daily, was soon remade. It did make a mess though.

The new girl was shocked, "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" She held up her hands in alarm.

"You lied about that Salamander! I'm gonna kick your butt!" Natsu shouted, making a fist. Natsu was responsible for at least 60% of the fights that broke out daily.

Krok popped back up from the destruction of the table, just as furious as Natsu now, "Don't get mad at me! I'm not the one to blame here! I just passed along a rumor I heard!"

Krov was an average guy with brown hair and rodent like upper teeth. He spreaded rumors like wild fire and wasn't a particularly strong mage, he didn't impress me much. I had met him when I had returned to Fairy Tail a few months ago.

I saw the new girl looked dumbfounded at how calm we all were. It was true not many people would see a brawl every day, unless you were in Fairy Tail. We happened to deal with all out fights all day long. I stayed away a lot, didn't interfere unless I was brought into it. That's another reason I went on jobs a lot, even if I didn't need the money. Anyone who stayed around here too long was driven mad by all the fighting, honestly it drives me nuts, even if I happen to like a good fight now and then.

"IT WAS JUST A RUMOR?!" Natsu shrieked, outraged,

"YOU WANNA FIGHT?!" Krov yelled back.

"LET'S GO!" And so it began, tables being destroyed, punches being thrown.

I growled, raising a fist that was covered in water, held there by magic, a lot like Natsu's fire fists. "You idiots! This isn't the time to fight, we have a new comer!"

Happy raised a paw, "Now now Natsu, I think you may need to calm down-!" It turned to a shout as he was flung across the room by the carelessness of the other guild members.

Someone swung a punch towards me but I ducked and swung my leg out, tripping him. This was getting me all tired out, after this I'll have to make sure to take a job near a hot spring!

The new girl didn't seem to mind, looking in awe as she said, "Oh wow! I'm actually standing inside the Fairy Tail guild hall."

I let the water vanish from my hand, fighting with my sheer athletic abilities alone now, as I kicked Krov in the face. "You're the one who started this!" I growled at him.

"I'm not the one to blame, come on Mona don't be like that!" He said, looking frightened. Usually I didn't show my true power, and I certainly wouldn't for such a weak fight, but still they didn't like to make me mad.

I crossed my arms, "You owe me, Krov, for not kicking your butt in front of the guild." I scowled as I pulled my foot off his chest and let him stand up, only to continue fighting with Natsu.

I turned my attention to Gray Fullbuster. Gray was an ice wizard, a pretty good one too. He was one of the ones who fought with Natsu the most. Plus he had a bad habit of stripping, I can't even count the times he's asked to borrow underwear, or Cana has reminded him that he needs to put on clothes. He had dark blue-ish hair and eyes that are dark enough to be black.

He now wore his boxer shorts and his cross necklace, his guild mark showing on his chest.

"So Natsu finally made it back, HUH?!"

Oh great, this will be fun to watch.

I'm just waiting to see when the others break out their magic, and when someone steps in to stop them.

Of course I could stop this but I wasn't going to, it was none of my business.

So I'll just watch, and wait.
