Loud noises, furniture thrown, drinks spilt, fire and ice everywhere. Everything was finally back to normal, well as normal as Fairy Tail can be. It's been two weeks since the Tenrou Island incident and 7 years for everyone else who was left behind at the guild. At first glance you wouldn't be able to tell most people in the guild had been gone for 7 years. Everything just seemed so normal, so right. It was finally back to the way it was, except for a few changes.
The guild hall had been completely rebuilt, downgraded actually, but it was still the same old home everyone felt welcomed in. Romeo, who had been left at the guild because he was only 7 years old at the time, he of course had aged. He is now 14 years old, and in just 7 years has turned into a completely different person, but on the inside he was still the same little boy from 7 years ago. Although he was no longer the cry baby who didn't know what the word courage meant, in fact he barely showed any emotions until two weeks ago, when everyone returned. Romeo now uses rainbow fire magic and is kind of a book worm, he's like a mini Natsu except more smart and mature.
Alzack and Bisca got married, which surprised nobody. They do have a daughter which did surprise a few people, her name is Asuka Connell. Asuka is around 3 years old, but just because she is young doesn't mean she isn't skilled with guns, toy guns that is. She has dark green hair put in a single braid that goes down her back and purple eyes, although she gets most her looks from her mother she gets her style from both her parents. Asuka wears a light brown cowgirl hat and darker brown cowgirl boots. A pink t-shirt under a white sleeveless vest and a dark brown skirt. Other than those changes nothing is really different than when everyone left.
The guild brawl had ended with Erza's "help" as usual, everyone had settled down and fixed everything within 10 minutes. Natsu and Lucy sat down at a table and started talking, well, Lucy talked while Natsu stuffed his face with food. Gray who also sat at the table was eating, but with a little more decency than Natsu. Juvia sat across from Gray and just watched him eat with hearts in her eyes. Erza, who had stopped the guild brawl was now at the request board looking for a mission. Everything was back to normal, if that's what you thought you would be wrong.
"I should be over there with Erza, I really need some money or I won't be able to pay my rent this month." Lucy let out a sigh, thinking about how it seemed the rent payments never stopped.
"We just came back from a job." Natsu spoke up between his chewing.
"It was a small job, and we didn't get any money from it because you went overboard like usual!" The celestial spirit mage got a little ticked off at this comment, it was like he completely forgot what he did.
"Did I? Hmm... I don't remember." This sent the blonde mage over the edge, so she did the obvious thing. She punched him right in the head, maybe that would help jog his memory, or maybe it would just hurt. Lucy was okay with either outcome.
"You idiot. Count yourself lucky you even have an apartment to break into everyday, because if you keep going crazy on jobs like this it won't last much longer." Lucy didn't have the energy in her to yell at him for also always breaking into her place, and Natsu's lucky for that too. But Lucy wasn't the only one taking the opportunity to yell at the dragon slayer.
"Yeah Flame For Brains, you always act before you think. Maybe if you were smarter we wouldn't always be doing jobs for free." Gray was scolding the pink haired man, but he was also using it as an excuse to poke fun at him. And he was mostly right, except it was actually more like they pay to do jobs, the cost of the destruction Natsu always causes is higher than the payments they receive most times.
"Oh yeah, you got something smart to say Frosty? Then say it to my face!" Natsu stood up to start another fight, the one they had 15 minutes ago apparently wasn't enough.
"I just did say it to your face Heat Lamp!" The ice mage also stood up, both parties ready to brawl at any moment.
"Stop you two! Erza's going to come back over here if you don't quit it." Lucy herself was just as afraid of the scarlet haired woman, so she wanted them to stop fighting for her sake too.
"Huh?" The two men looked over at Lucy before looking toward the request board, Erza was already looking back at them. The frightening glare she gave was enough to stop the fight before it even started. And so they gave it a rest to go back to their meals. The day was seemingly on track to be just like any other that the Fairy Tail guild has experienced, but alas the guild never really has had a normal day. Out of nowhere, so subtly, there was a shift.
