The Emerald Fairy

And Then There Were Fairies PT.2

"Alright, everything seems to be in working order..." Max muttered under his breath as he closed the hood down on the front of the Rustbucket while he dusted off his hands before stepping onto the RV and sitting down on the drivers seat. "Everything alright back there?"

"We're good, Grandpa!" Gwen replied while scrolling through her computer only to see no internet connection. "Gah!!!" She exclaimed in frustration while Ben looked at her tiredly, "Still nothing?"

"Yes! It's almost like we're not on Earth any more!" She exclaimed as she massaged her forehead in frustration. "Whatever Malwares portal did, it clearly took us much farther then we thought." She leaned back in her seat and let out a heavy sigh before flinching as Max suddenly honked the RV's horn. "Even my magic can't pinpoint where we are..."

Ben sighed in disappointed as his head slumped down onto the table completely exhausted. Before they could continue, the Rustbucket suddenly stopped, grabbing the their attention as they turned to look at their grandfather. "Why'd we stop?" Gwen asked in confusion as she watched Max rise from his seat and walk over to the door.

"Ugh!!! My feet hurt...." Lucy moaned as she Natsu, Grey, Happy and Erza walked their way back to Magnolia. "Why couldn't we have got a cart?" She asked as she turned to face Erza.

"You can blame this idiot." Grey said as he pointed towards Natsu, who was happily running ahead of the group closely followed by his friend Happy. "What you say?!?!" Natsu screamed at Grey upon hearing his remark.

However, before things could escalate into a fight between the pair, a strange looking vehicle came up from behind them and honked its horn, startling the group. "What kind of magic mobile is that?" Lucy asked as she watched the strange vehicle slowly come to a stop beside the group.

Before the group could say anything, the door began to open and put stepped a kindly looking old man. "Hello there!" He greeted as he closed the strange vehicles door behind him. He extended a hand towards the group, "You lot wouldn't happen to be walking down to that town over there, would you?" He asked while gesturing with his other hand towards Magnolia.

"We are and what of it?" Erza answered, her eyes narrowed in suspicion as she slowly began to reach for her sword.

"We're a bit lost, you see and we were hoping that the town might help give us a bit of an answer as to where we are." He explained before chuckling quietly to himself. "And well, I saw you on walking down the town and thought to myself that you might be able to help us." He continued before rubbing the back of his head with an embarrassed smile. "I'm Max by the way, Max Tennyson."

Erza stopped reaching for her sword upon hearing the man's request, "Of course we can help. It's our duty as members of Fairy Tail to help people on need." She said before turning to look at the rest of her group. "And seeing as how we're doing introductions, then my name is Erza, that's Natsu Dragneel," She said as she towards Natsu who was playing with Happy, "The cat next to him is called Happy, the person who just took off his shirt is Grey and the blond with the keyes on her belt is Lucy."

"Nice to meet you." Lucy greeted with a smile on her face as she extended her hand towards Max.

"The pleasures all mine." Max replied as he shook her hand, "Unfortunately, I don't know if I can pay you, but maybe I can help give you a lift to town?" He said before as he turned to walk back to his vehicle. "Is that alright with you?"

The group smiled except for Natsu as a horrified look settled on his face, "Of course, it beats walking any day." Lucy cheerful accepted as Max opened the door and gestured for them to get in.

"This place looks homey." Lucy stated as she looked over the RV's interior before noticing the two children wearing strange looking clothes sitting at the table.
