"I have more stuff to show you!" Wendy nodded, standing up from her seat.

"What else is there…?" Cynthia asked, standing up slowly.

Wendy motioned for the black haired girl to follow her before walking over the request board, "This is where we take jobs!"

"Jobs…?" Cynthia tilted her head slowly.

"Hai! There are many jobs on here, lately. And upstairs there are jobs for S Class Mages."

"S…Class…? I'm sorry Wendy, but…you're losing me…." Cynthia sighed, feeling bad she couldn't grasp something Wendy seemed excited about.

"Oh, I'm sorry…! S Class mages are really strong mages in our guild. We have Erza-san, Mira-san, Laxus-san, and ace, Gildarts-san!"

"Ace…?" Cynthia tilted her head slowly, "What's an Ace?"

"The strongest person in the guild, beside the Master, and our master is one of the ten Wizard Saints…!" Wendy nodded, smiling that she was able to explain all this so easily to Cynthia.

"Wizard Saints…aren't those people extremely powerful or something…?" Cynthia looked up at Wendy, who nodded cheerfully. "Whoa…this guild really does seem strong…! But…White Eclipse seems stronger if they've beaten you guys so much…right?" From how she understood it, Fairy Tail and White Eclipse fought a lot, but White Eclipse had the slight edge in terms of victories.

"U-Uh…." Wendy shuffled around awkwardly on her feet before changing topics. That was not a question she wanted to answer. "H-How about I show you around Magnolia…!"

"Magnolia…?" Cynthia tilted her head slightly.

"Magnolia, the town where Fairy Tail is!" Wendy nodded, taking hold of Cynthia's hand, "Come on, I'll show you if you want!"

Cynthia paused for a moment; she was unsure how anyone could be so enthusiastic about a simple tour. However, to be honest, she kinda liked the idea of being shown around town. She didn't exactly trust Wendy, but she was the only person she felt even the slightest bit comfortable around. "O…Okay!" She nodded, giving a small smile.

"Great!" Wendy grinned. "Oh, wait!" She ran into the infirmary, grabbing and putting on a long sleeved black jacket, then she came back and pulled Cynthia out the front doors and to Magnolia Town.

"She and Wendy are getting along quickly…" Lucy commented, smiling slightly.

"Until we learn more about that girl we have to make sure Wendy doesn't get too close to her," Erza said, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Are you saying we should keep an eye on them?" Lucy looked over at Erza, raising an eyebrow.

"We don't know anything about this girl…All we know is that her name is Cynthia, and she's a Dragon Slayer," Erza stated with a serious expression. "I don't want Wendy hurt because of this girl's background…" It would be a different story if Cynthia had a guild mark of theirs. If she had a problem, it would become theirs too. But right now, Cynthia was just a stranger. She was a little girl with seemingly no where to go, so they wanted to at least ensure she was safe until they could find out more.

"That's my line," Carla mumbled, sprouting her wings. "I'll go; it IS my responsibility to make sure Wendy is safe, after all."

"I'll go with you!" Happy grinned, hearts appearing in his eyes at the thought of being along with Carla.

"I'll join you two as well," Patherlily sudden, said, shattering Happy's daydreaming like glass. "If there's any trouble, I'll be able to help fight it off."

"Yaaaaay!" Happy had a fake enthusiasm in his voice. Though it was true Lily could do the fighting, he would just rather just be alone with Carla.

"Be safe, Exceed Squad!" Lucy grinned.

"But of course," Carla nodded firmly before flying out of the guild with Happy and Lily.

Wendy led Cynthia to the heart of Magnolia town, both her and the town brimming with excitement. Cynthia looked around, taking in the surroundings of the busy town as best as she could without being overwhelmed. "W-Whoa…this place is huge…!" Cynthia exclaimed, making sure to stick close to Wendy so she would not get lost.

"Isn't it?" Wendy nodded, leading the other girl through the town with a bright smile on her face. "This place is so pretty, I'm glad I live right near here! I have so much to show you, too!"

"So much…? I dunno if I will be able to take it all in…! Just walking around is so much already…" Cynthia commented.

"Then we'll do as much as you can in one day!" Wendy nodded firmly, intent on showing Cynthia around town. Wendy then showed Cynthia nearly all around town, the shops, the movies, the lake, and lastly, the giant tree in the middle of the town. The tree's size caused Cynthia's sky blue eyes to widen and sparkle slightly.

"W-Whoa…that's a beautiful tree…!" Cynthia said in amazement. "I've never seen anything like this before..."

"Mhm! It is! And over here-" Wendy stopped, accidently bumping into a tall male with silver hair, "O-Oh! I'm sorry!"

The male turned, eating a meatball sub and merely shrugged it off, "Whatever just watch where you're going next time." The male then turned and left, mumbling to himself, "I should get getting back to the guild anyway…"

"Oh…" Wendy sighed, bringing her hands to her cheeks, realizing how hot they were getting. "H-Huh…?"

"What's wrong, Wendy?" Cynthia looked over at Wendy with a semi-concerned look.

"My cheeks are really hot…now that I think about it; I can't feel my arms either…" Wendy started to become worried. "Am I sick…?" Wendy then yelped, an indescribable pain shooting through her body, numbing it as she fell to the ground, writhing in pain for a few seconds before passing out.

Cynthia's eyes widened in shock as Wendy fell, unsure on what to do in this situation. "W-Wendy…!"
