Getting to Know and Partying with New Friends

"Cheers!" Several big wooden cups filled with booze clanked together with Eizen and Rokuro as Fairy Tail is celebrating to have six new members for the first time in their lives for the past seven years.

Rokuro took in the drink getting it all in one go and let out a sigh of relief with a big smile.

"Gotta say, you guys certainly have some good drinks around here. Taste just as good as the ones back home, probably even a little better." Rokuro complimented.

"Thanks, it's one of the good things we have here despite our current circumstances." Marco smiled.

"I always wanted to try what these drinks are like." Laphicet said as he looks inside the cup to see the booze inside, but his cup was snatch away by Velvet.

"Sorry, Laphicet, but no booze for you." Velvet said, not wanting her boyfriend to go drunk on her right now.

"Don't worry, we got good drinks for kids too. Or else we would've gotten a lot more complaints than we used to have back in the days." Max said as he gave Laphicet a very good juice that he decided to go with it, not wanting to upset Velvet.

"It must be years since we had a party like this. It feels nice to be with other people again, certainly reminds me of the good old days." Eleanor smiled.

"Yeah, being surrounded by a noisy bunch." Magilou said.

"Oh man, I had not felt this happy in a long time. I need another drink." Marco held his cup.

"Easy master, you can't drink that much all at once." A young woman said while pouring another drink in Marco's cup.

"Alright, everyone! Can I have your attention, please!" Marco shouted while clanking a spoon on his cup.

"We have six new members joining our family from now on, I believe now it's a good time to introduce ourselves to them so that they can get to know us." Marco ordered.

"Oui. That sounds like a wonderful idea, Guild Master Marco." A man said walking up to the new members.

"My name is Reedus Jonah, I like to paint so many things and I would be honor to paint you all for this momentous occasion!" Reedus smiled.

Reedus is a tall man sporting curly, light orange hair. He wears a dark vest over a light shirt with rolled-up sleeves, dark pants and striped shoes with plain tips. Around his neck is a large, and light-colored ribbon, he wears a dark top hat with a light band around it and a pair of glasses-like goggles on his eyes.

"Oh, an artist. Well, I hope you get my good side for I am a masterpiece." Magilou bragged as she sat on the table in front of Velvet, but she was pushed off the table.

"Nab Lasaro, that's my name. I hope we can become good friends." Nab smirked.

"And maybe you can get the little fucker to stay and complete a job." Wakaba advised.

"Hey!" Nab yelled of embarrassment. He hopes that they don't know him that much.

Nab is a young man with shoulder-length hair along with a mustache and beard around his mouth, and a prominent belly. He wears a tribal style of ancient clothing, with its most prominent feature being a light red cape tied in a knot on the front. His fur loincloth has been replaced by one made of dark cloth, with a lighter part hanging over it and a belt divided in round squares around the waist. Nab also seems to have his forearms and calves wrapped up in bandages, and he has added a large, roundish red feather to the right side of the band circling his head. He retains the necklace of skulls around his neck, over his cape

"I'm Vijeeter Ecor. I hope you enjoy my dance for the welcoming celebration!" Vijeeter danced for them.

Vijeeter is a slim, young man of average height with long brown hair, and has dark eyes. He wears an orange toga-like cloth, draped over his right shoulder and tied around his waist by a light sash with a knot on the left, with a dark, short-sleeved shirt under it. He dons dark pants reaching down below his knees, with light strips hanging from its hemlines over his bare calves, and his feet are covered by simple sandals. He has round, metal bracelets around each wrist, and a necklace composed of large beads around his neck. The most prominent addition to his outfit, however, is his round headgear, seemingly consisting of a dark cap, with its peak emerging from the gray bands adorned by blue, diamond-shaped motifs wrapped around its top, and sporting six large fang-like ornaments hanging from it, three on each side of his head.

"Hello, my name is Kinana. I'm not exactly a member of Fairy Tail as a Mage. I only work at the bar, but I look forward to getting to know you." Kinana smiled.

Kinana is a tall and slime young woman with long purple hair that reaches down to shoulder-level and green eyes. She wears a lime green-colored blouse with a green neckline and trim, which is complimented by a long, white skirt. She is also seen wearing green boots. Breasts size: H-cup.

"(How odd, my nose is picking up something from this girl. Almost snake-like.)" Laphicet thought noticed this odd scent with his nose.

"(Wow, you got good nose like Natsu.)" A voice said in Laphicet's head shocking him.

"Huh, who said that?" Laphicet asked.

"Sorry, that was me. Couldn't help but give you a little taste of my Telepathy Magic." A young man walked up to Laphicet.

"The name's Warren Rocko, if you need something for a little mind then I'm your guy." Warren introduced himself with a smirk.

Warren is a slim man of average height with black, straight hair left free to partially cover his forehead, being styled in a single prominent spike on top of his head. He wears a double-breasted sleeveless green tunic held closed on the chest by four buttons, with pale green sleeves emerging from under it, tucked inside long, similarly colored gloves, and a light green sash circling his waist. He also wears light-colored pants, similarly, tucked inside simple boots.

"You guys already know about Max and Laki, glad to know about you guys have already become friends." Marco gestured to the two.

"It's going to be great having you guys with us. I have a good feeling about this!" Max smiled.

"Just know if you need anything, just look me up and I can help you with a lot of stuff!" Laki grinned.

"Just be sure not to ask her to make you some wood stuff." Marco advised whisper to Eizen which only confuses him.

"To be honest, we didn't really think that we get even a single new member after the ones we had left with the guild becoming smaller." A man walked up to him.

"My name is Alzack Connell, one of the bet gun users in the guild. Nice to meet you." Alzack introduced himself.

Alzack is a young man of average height with short black spiky hair and has a pair of earrings composed of small tassels hanging from both of his ears. He wears a poncho that is light color adorned by large dark stripes near its collar and lower edges, and sporting a couple of strips. He also has a dark vest over his shirt and a belt whose buckle is adorned by an incision reminiscent of a small, stylized sun.

"This here is my wife, Bisca. Another best shooter, and probably better than me." Alzack introduced his wife to the new members.

"I can see you guys have some tough girls in your group, hope you girls know how to pull your own weight." Bisca winked.

Bisca is a young woman with long, straight green hair that reaches down to her lower back and lower section of her hair is tied into a thick braid., and a set of long bangs framing her face. She has brownish purple eyes, large breasts, and is always seen wearing red lipstick. She wears a revealing bikini top covered in dark stripes below an open, dark buttoned vest. A similarly colored skirt adorned by a series of light strips hanging down from it in the middle part covers her lower body, whilst a pair of high-heeled cowgirl boots decorated by matching strips are on her feet. Also present are a set of armbands now circling Bisca's biceps, paired by darker, simple long bands around her wrists. She also switched to a dark cowgirl hat with a curved-up brim, adorned by a lighter-colored band covered in large studs. Breasts size: F-cup.

"Well, I see you're also the type of woman who can be tough and stylish at the came time. I like that!" Magilou smiled.

"Have, are you interested in doing a little work in a magic show?" Magilou asked with her cards out.

"Oh, are you going to do a magic trick?" A little girl asked, getting Magilou's attention.

"Oh, what a little cutie pie! Is she your daughter?" Magilou asked, squealing a bit of the girl's cuteness.

"Yup, she's our pride and joy!" Bisca smiled.

"Go introduce yourself to our new friends, sweetie." Alzack gently ordered his daughter.

"Hi, my name is Asuka and I'm happy to find more people in the guild!" Asuka greeted with a cute smile.

Asuka is a young girl with fair skin and dark green hair where the lower section is tied in a braid, like her mother's. Her eyes are dark purple, and she notably has a constant blush. She wears an orange cowgirl hat with a light-yellow band, a tan vest over a pink shirt, a brown skirt held by a belt and brown boots with tassels.

"(Wow, this girl is younger than Kamoana, I bet those two would've been best friends.)" Eleanor thought smiled, remembering all the times she spends with Kamoana and the others as the Shepard at the time.

"(I wonder if she and Medissa have been reborn in another world?)" Eleanor thought wondered.

"You can call me Jet, I'm the fastest in the guild!" Jet proclaimed.

Jet is a slim, young man of average height with orange hair, gathered on the back of his head and tied in a short, spiky ponytail by a dark band. He has a sharp face, a prominent, flat and defined nose pointing downwards, and distinctive teeth, with a protruding, sharp, triangular-shaped upper molar complemented by a chipped portion on the lower row. He wears a high-collared dark shirt, with light edges and sleeves reaching down below his elbows, adorned by a motif reminiscent of a wing and two resembling large leaves, respectively, on the right part of the collar and on the upper parts of the sleeves, under a cuirass-like cloth covering the lower part of his chest, held up by two light bands passing over his shoulders. He also wears the baggy dark pants covering Jet's legs, in turn tucked inside dark boots.

"If you guys want to go out eating, Droy here is your man." Droy smirked while holding a big chicken leg.

Droy is a tall, overweighted man with a round face and big nose, and black hair with a tuft on top of his head. Droy has dark eyes and thin dark eyebrows pointing downwards at their outer edges. He wears a light, short-sleeved jacket over a dark shirt with rolled-up light sleeves, which seems to have a dark-collared light undershirt or A-shirt below it, pants covered in light and dark rhombs, and dark shoes.

"Romeo, come over here and say hello to our new members!" Marco called out.

"Sure, coming, dad." Romeo said in a low tone and walking to the table.

"This here is my son, Romeo. He's the youngest member of the guild and is working his way to becoming a strong mage, but he can be silent most of the time." Marco introduced his son to them.

"Now, say hi to them." Marco said.

"Hey, nice to meet you guys." Romeo said, slightly unemotionally.

Romeo is a 12-year-old with straight, spiky dark purple hair and some muscles that shows he is stronger than his own age. Having joined Fairy Tail, he also sports the guild's stamp on his left shoulder. He wears a long, dark, sleeveless open jacket with lighter-colored edges, revealing part of his muscular chest and held closed around his waist by a light sash, tied by a knot on his left hip. His legs are covered by loose, light-colored pants reaching down below his knees, paired with low, dark laced boots. Around his neck is a light scarf adorned by a wavy motif tied on the front in a large knot. His forearms are wrapped in bandages.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Laphicet." Laphicet offered his hand of friendship.

"Sure." Romeo said, but not taking the hand.

"(This kid, I can see it in his eyes. Those are the eyes of someone who lost something important or more importantly someone from his life.)" Velvet thought felt the kid's pain, having to go through the same thing she went through centuries ago.

"So, what magic do you do?" Laphicet asked curiously.

"I do Fire Magic, the one I do is Purple Flare like my dad." Romeo answered simply and showing his purple fire.

"Nice shit, I've never seen a purple flame before! How about you, Eizen?" Rokuro asked.

"I've seen some very weird things for a long time, but I never seen fire that can be purple." Eizen admitted.

"It's pretty good, kid. But it's nothing to Laphicet's silver flame." Magilou bragged with a smug.

"Oh yeah, the one you used to almost burn Max." Laki giggled.

"Fuck off!" Max mumbled at Laki.

"Anyway, you guys are not going to believe this, but this kid here is a Dragon Slayer along with Eizen!" Max informed which surprises the rest of the guild.

"Is this true?" Reedus asked.

"That's right, I'm a Silver Fire Dragon Slayer and you could say my fire is the color of purifying." Laphicet smiled while trying to sound cool by bringing out his silver flame from his hand.

"Wow, so pretty!" Asuka was amazed.

"Don't get too close, Asuka!" Alzack said, being a protective father in the moment.

"Don't worry, my fire won't burn anything that I don't see as something to burn." Laphicet promised as he held his fire close to Asuka who touches it and not being burn.

"Wow, this feels so warm and nice!" Asuka smiled.

"So, what slayer are you?" Droy asked Eizen.

"I'm an Earth Dragon Slayer." Eizen answered and rocks around his arm which surprises him a bit.

"Eleanor here is apparently a Water God Slayer and Velvet is a Fire Devil Slayer. How crazy is that?" Laki mentioned.

"Wow, getting a lot of Slayers in the mix. Sure, feels like we have the old team back with us." Wakaba commented.

"You mean the ones who vanished along with an entire island?" Rokuro asked after taking another drink.

"Oh, I guess you heard about that." Marco said as everyone started to feel a little sad, except for Asuka wasn't born when those members went missing.

"The man who told us to come here to join Fairy Tail believes those missing members will come back soon." Eleaor said, not mentioning that this person was God himself.

"The same man you told us before?" Laki asked.

"To be honest, we weren't really sure at first about what he said. But he said that it's important that we go join this guild and wait for a month, it was then we saw how serious he was." Velvet explained.

"For real?" Jet was surprised.

"You sure that they're coming back?" Marco asked.

"Let just say that his words were powerful to be truth. But all we can do now is wait for one month and see it for ourselves." Eizen said.

"The guy was probably just a fucking lair." Romeo stated, thinking this guy was just crazy or something.

"Seven years of pain, not being able to see your friends for so long, and even trying to put up a strong face while holding onto the memories of those friends in your heart. Doing all those things would be hard for anyone to go on." Laphicet described the things Romeo is going through.

"How did you know?" Romeo asked, surprised that Laphicet can see through him like that.

"Some of us in this group have gone through some similar things, even worse things. But the one thing that can move us forward is keeping hope alive, so best to keep the hope that your friends are alive." Velvet stated with a small smile, and Laphicet look at his girlfriend with a smile thinking that she is trying to cheer him up.

"Well, guess we'll have to wait a month if that is true or not. Right now, it's time to officially welcome you into Fairy Tail by giving you guild marks!" Marco smiled.

"Guild marks?" Rokuro was puzzled.

"It's to show you're officially part of a guild. You can have it anywhere on your body like one arm or one leg of the chest." Wakaba explained.

Laphicet and the others look at each other thinking it would be nice to have a mark on them, so they go for it.

Eizen's mark is a golden-brown color on the backhand of his right hand. Rokuro has his mark in the same color as his demon part and on the chest where the heart is. Magilou got her mark pink and purple on her left thigh. Eleanor's mark is blue and on her right shoulder. Velvet's mark is dark red on her right hand. And Laphicet's mark is silver color on his left hand.

"Yes! It's time we celebrate even harder, everybody!" Marco shouted in joy, and everyone is in agreement with that.

And so, everyone got to partying more than they had in years while Romeo watches as the new members are getting along with the others. He even saw how Eizen and Rokuro would bicker with each other, just like how two guys he knew would always do.

"(Maybe… I can still hope.)" Romeo thought.
