After Natsu's win against her, an exhausted Rissy was placed on a bench to sleep, however due to the outcome of the battle the guild resulted in utter chaos, most of them due to members not having enough money to pay their bets.
Bar stools were broken or used as weapons and many mages were nursing multiple injuries
Even with all the noise the pink haired teenage girl still managed to remain asleep, her soft snores causing all the mages to stop what they were doing Amazed, Lucy began lightly poking the girl who only began to snore louder.
"She's a heavy sleeper..." Lucy whispered, trying not to wake the girl up.
"There's no point even whispering, I mean Rissy Chan did sleep through the whole guild fight" Lavender pointed out as she flew around the hall.
Happy took this opportunity to make his wings appear too and challenge the lilac exceed to a race.
"Lavender I can fly faster than you!" Happy exclaimed as he flew around the hall
"Stupid cat, I'm way faster!" Lavender shouted as she flew over to Happy
Happy turned around, only to bump into Lavender, causing both exceeds to fall to the ground with a thud, which awoke the sleeping Rissy.
"What was that!" Rissy gasped as she quickly sat up.
"Rissy it was Happy's fault!" Lavender shouted, pointing a paw at the blue exceed.
"No...Charle, tell them!" Happy shouted, looking to the white exceed for support, only to receive a sigh and the back of her head as she turned her back on him.
"Charle, I thought we were friends..." Happy sobbed, while Lavender patted him on the back.
"But we're friends!" Lavender happily pointed out.
"I guess..." Happy said as he wiped away his tears "But you guys haven't even joined fairy tail, so you'll just leave..."
"That is a point, Happy..." Said the script mage as she lifted her head out of her book "After all I assumed that Rissy would join the guild after the fight"
Lucy nodded in agreement then turned to the pink haired girl
"Rissy will you and Lavender join the guild?" Lucy asked.
"Join Fairy Tail?" Rissy asked, considering the offer.
"Yeah, why not?" Lucy asked, earning a nod of agreement from Levy.
"I mean, you're already considered nakama" Levy pointed out
"And you're Natsu's sister" Lucy added
Rissy knew that both mages were right, Fairy Tail was a good place to be, it was full of wonderful people and the guild itself never had a boring day. T
he pink haired girl glanced over at her exceed, who was happily conversing with Happy and Charle, even Lavender liked it here and knowing her best friend she wouldn't want to leave.
However, Rissy knew that staying would most likely cause trebled for her new friends at Fairy Tail and she didn't want her friends involved in her own problems.
"Rissy, I heard you're joining the guild!" Natsu shouted, distracting Rissy from her thoughts.
"How did you hear, news must travel fast..." Lucy said earning a nod of agreement from Levy.
"Well no I just over heard you guys..." Natsu sighed
"I didn't actually say I was going to join..." Rissy whispered, low enough everyone to not hear but not low enough for Natsu,
"You mean you're leaving!?" Nastsu gasped, causing Lavender to cry out and start sobbing.
"Rissy-Chan!" Lavender wailed as she flew over to Rissy and buried her face in her chest "We can't leave, I love it here!"
She gave her exceed a watery smile as she wrapped her arms around her.
"Rissy, you can't leave, we only just met..." Natsu sighed sadly.
"And if you left it would affect the rest of us badly..." Levy pointed out.
The rest of the guild caught wind of the situation, all delivering Rissy with puppy dog eyes and saddened looks, as if to confirm the script mage's point.
"B-but..." Rissy started.
"No buts, Rissy..." Natsu shouted as pulled Rissy out of her chair by her arm
"Natsu where are you taking me...?" Rissy asked as her brother started to pull her across the guild hall.
"You are becoming a member of fairy tail!" He declared as he placed Rissy's hand over the bar.
"What!?" Rissy gasped "Natsu I can't..."
"Rissy, please..." Natsu sighed "Whatever it is, we're nakama and I am your big brother..."
"Natsu..." Rissy said, preparing to pull her hand off of bar.
"Just let me be your brother Rissy, I never got the chance before..." Natsu said sadly
Rissy opened her mouth to protest, to give her reason as to why she couldn't stay but Natsu gave her the puppy eyes, her one weakness.
"Fine ..." She growled, just as Mira walked over
"Rissy's joining today!" Natsu exclaimed to the white haired mage.
"You're finally joining" Mira said smiling "So where and what colour do you want your guild insignia?"
"Umm, can I have it lilac and on my wrist?" Rissy asked, causing the bar maid to nod.
Mira reached under the bar, placing the guild stamp on Rissy's wrist.
Not too much longer after, a lilac guild insignia was placed on the inside of her wrist, she slowly stretched her arm, admiring the work.
She was now part of Fairy Tail.
Natsu smiled as his sister admired her guild insignia, most of the guild members had gathered around her, congratulating her on her decision and admiring her insignia.
He watched as Lavender too got hers only in pink and soon the lilac exceed was flying around the hall excitedly declaring that she was now a fairy.
The rest of the guild excitedly ordered more drinks and food, a small party formed to celebrate the newest member.
"Rissy-Chan, the colour looks great on you!" Lucy exclaimed as she grabbed hold of Rissy's hand.
"Welcome to the family..." Erza said as she grabbed Rissy into a hug, and a face full of armour.
But one thing really bothered the dragon slayer, for some reason his sister was reluctant to join the guild and he wanted to know why.
Once the crowd around his sister had dispersed, Natsu took this as his opportunity to go speak to her.
"Rissy..." He said, causing her to turn around to face him.
"Hey Natsu, you like my guild mark!" She said happily as she lifted her wrist and waved it around
"Rissy, what are you hiding?" Natsu asked
"Umm, for one my middle name isn't Alexis it's Alexander..." Rissy said
Causing Natsu to give her a look of clear confusion.
"Wait isn't that a guy's name?" Natsu asked, confused.
"It is, Leora thought I was a boy, you can only imagine the shock when she saw me take a bath..." She said smiling.
"Wow that's...wait we're going off the subject...what are you really hiding?" He asked.
"Well I do wear clothes to hide my nakedness..." Rissy shrugged.
Natsu mentally slapped himself, this conversation wasn't going anywhere.
"Rissy, why didn't you want to join the guild?" He asked, causing Rissy to stiffen.
"I don't know what you're talking about..." She said through gritted teeth as she folded her arms over her chest.
"Rissy you're lying..." Natsu pointed out.
"Well done for Captain obvious..."Rissy snapped as she stood up.
"Rissy, tell me, I'm your brother" Natsu said.
"You've been my brother for five minutes" She hissed.
"Rissy, something's wrong, isn't it?" Natsu asked, judging from her reaction she had to be hiding something of high importance.
"I don't have to and I don't want to tell you a thing!" Rissy snapped as she stormed off, pushing her way through the crowded hall and slamming the guild doors open.
Not too long after the outburst, Rissy found herself sitting alone in a forest, she found that forests reminded her of her time with Leora, reminded her of home and simpler times.
The trees often helped to calm her whenever she was in a bad way and thanks to her magic, it allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of nature, which often meant that she found herself talking to trees whenever she was upset.
Closing her eyes, she placed her palm on the tree's trunk, allowing her to feel the very essence of the tree.
"What is your name, Fairy Dragon Slayer?" The tree asked, her voice bringing her back from her from her thoughts.
"Rissy..." She whispered, keeping her palm placed on the trees trunk. "What is yours?"
"My name is Fawn-Amber and I am the mother to most of the trees in this forest..." Fawn-Amber said, her voice filled with power and echoing through the forest.
"Wow, that would look good on your resume..." Rissy said smiling, causing Fawn-Amber to lightly chuckle.
The soft sound sent vibrations throughout Rissy's body.
"You amuse me, Rissy, daughter of Leora..." Fawn-Amber concluded, causing Rissy to suddenly sit up.
"H-how did you know that I was Leora's child, I never told you...?" Rissy asked confused. Maybe the trees are smarter than I thought
"News travels fast amongst the trees, here in Fiore" Fawn-Amber explained "When it was discovered that the guardian of the forest had taught a human her magic, we were naturally hysterical..."
"Oh..." Rissy said sadly.
"Don't worry yourself, Rissy, most of us were concerned that a human wouldn't be able to control such magic..." Said Fawn-Amber "But speaking to you now and feeling your power, has ushered away those very concerns..."
"Umm thanks..." Rissy whispered, unsure of what to say.
The two talked together for some time, Rissy felt relaxed by the aura Fawn-Amber gave emitted and enjoyed her many stories about the forest she had to share.
"You know, there was a time when I would talk to trees a lot, since I had no real friends..." Rissy sighed.
Fawn-Amber said nothing as if waiting for Rissy to continue.
"It wasn't long after Leora disappeared and I was left alone..." Rissy explained
She remembered the time, not long after Leora's disappearance when she would often walk to different towns searching for her.
Since she was wandering, homeless orphan not many people would even acknowledge her.
Parents would pull their children out her way whenever she passed, and she was often a target for bullies.
To avoid the looks of pity she would often retreat into the forest where she would spend hours or even days, surrounded by the nature and happiness.
A feeling of warmth spreading through her hand, brought her back to reality, she could feel the tree's content of her happy memories of the forest. Her contentment, that Rissy considered the forest a second family.
Remembering her family, Rissy thought about her brother and the way she treated him.
"You think that I was too hard on him?" she asked the tree as she snuggled closer to it.
She felt the voice of the tree's spirit as it spoke to her.
"You could have explained the situation to him better..." Fawn-Amber suggested.
Rissy sighed, if she explained the situation to Natsu, it meant revealing her past and that was something that she didn't want to do.
"He is your brother so he wouldn't judge you..." Said Fawn-Amber
"My past was something I buried, I never wanted to bring it up again..." Rissy sighed sadly.
She hadn't even told Lavender parts of her past however she knew that those closest to her, would ask questions, after all they had the right to know about her but she knew that she couldn't bare to bring up dark memories once more.
"Rissy, secrets never stay that way forever..." Fawn-Amber warned.
Rissy sighed, looks like she had to tell them the truth
"Natsu what's wrong?" Lucy asked as she took a seat next to him at the bar.
"nothing Luce..." He sighed as downed the last remains of his glass
"But Natsu you haven't even picked fight with Gray..." Lucy pointed out.
"So..." Said Natsu, not seeing where Lucy was heading
"Well something must be wrong and there's a party and you're moping over here. So tell me what's wrong?" Lucy asked, the question sounding more like a demand than a request.
"I feel like Rissy is hiding something from me..." Natsu sighed
"Natsu you're properly over reacting and it could most likely be something small but just blown out of proportion" The celestial mage suggested
"I don't know Luce, I mean I think what she's hiding is the reason why she didn't want to join the guild" Natsu said, causing Lucy to snigger.
"I'm sorry it's just I've never seen you put so much thought into a situation before" Lucy said as she tried and failed to stifle her laughs.
"Luce this is serious, Rissy could be in trouble" Said Natsu.
"Natsu, I'm sure that you're just over reacting, Rissy's fine and you are taking the older brother role way to seriously..." Lucy sighed as she got up and left Natsu to rejoin the rest of the girls, leavving Natsu to his thoughts.
