The crowd cheered and many mages ran to hug and greet her. The Twins stayed back and watched as she laughed and greeted her guild mates.

"Sting," Rogue commented. The White Dragon Slayer turned to his twin.

"Yeah Rogue?"

"Lyra." Rogue said. "She is different."

"How so?"

"Yeah, how so Rogue?" Lector repeated.

"She is happy. Not many people in this Guild are happy for happiness's sake." Rogue said.

Frosch glanced at his partner and back at the other pair of Dragon Slayer and Exceed. "Fro think so too!" Frosch added helpfully.

"Hey." Someone said. The Twins and their Exceeds jumped.

Lyra, Rufus, and Orga stood behind them.

"What's your name?" She asked with an easy smile.

There was a hesitation then, "I'm the Great Sting Eucliffe." Sting said proudly.

"And I the mighty Lector, but not as mighty as the Great Sting of course." Lector said just as proudly.

"What about you, tall, dark and brooding?" Lyra asked.

It took Rogue a second to realize Lyra meant him. "Rogue, and this is Frosch." He said, he pointed to the small pink and green cat at his feet. Lyra bent down, and her eyes lit up.

"Aw! What an adorable little-" she frowned. "Wait a second, this isn't a frog." She pulled down his hood. "It's a cat!"

Frosch's eyes grew wide. "But I am a frog!" He protested.

Lyra seemed to be oblivious to him though. She picked him up and cuddled him to her chest. "Aw! How cute!"She squealed. Frosch seemed happy to be hugged though.

"What about me?" Lector asked. "Am I cute?"

Lyra smiled. "You're a cat too!"

"An Exceed!" He proclaimed. She scooped him up as well, but she seemed more cautious with him.

"Adorable!" She repeated.

The Twins looked at her confused. She finally set them down.

"Lyra, my dear." Rufus said, touching the brim of his hat. "We should leave, as well as get to know each other. We only have two weeks."

"I agree with Rufus." Orga voiced. Lyra shrugged.

"Ok. How about this? We leave in ten minutes?"

"Where would we be going?" Sting asked.

Lyra shrugged. "Wherever. Ten minutes, starting now." She said, and she sprinted toward her room.
