"Hi, welcome to Black Ace, I'm Felicity and I'll be serving you this morning, can I take your order?"

Her hair was like snow, with a faint blue tint, her eyes a soft violet. She was short, slim, with a fine waist, and a flat chest. Her brown skirt was short, with a pale apron draping over it. Her bangs were a mess in her eyes, but her short hair was pulled back into a small ponytail.

"Well aren't you flat as a flapjack

"Well aren't you flat as a flapjack." Zailo said with a laugh and a grin, his black hair in his eyes as usual.

She smiled, but her eyes showed how badly she wanted to slap him.

"Pancakes it is..." she groaned, as she scribbled down the order.

"Nah, just kidding." He waved his hand casually as he laughed. "Sure is crowded in here."

Felicity glanced around at the empty restaurant, having only two other tables to serve. She cleared her throat, taking little kindness to the sarcasm. "Sure."

"I just want waffles. With hot chili sauce and pickles."

"Okay, your funeral." She mumbled as she scratched pancake out. "Is that all?"

"Aren't you taking her order?"

Felicity looked at Zailo as though he were mad, as he was sitting alone.

"Um...sure...what would you like...miss?" She said to no one.

There was a moment of silence, until Zailo turned his head and looked to the empty seat. "Really? You don't want anything? Suit yourself."

Felicity sighed in relief, glad she wouldn't have to serve some figment.

"Okay, so, if that's all, I'll go put your order--"

"Hey lady, have you heard of Fairy Tail?"

Felicity sighed, realizing the guy was trying to make conversation. "Uh...yeah...who hasn't..."

"Of course, I know, they're so awesome." The boy blushed as he scratched his head. "Sorry, I'm just a little excited cuz Magnolia is the next town over, and we'll get to head there pretty soon and try and join. Meredith and I are excited."

"Mhmm..." she sighed. "So you a wizard or something?"

"You bet!" He said with a thumbs up. "But not Meredith here, she's too lame to learn any magic."

So Meredith is the imaginary friend? Felicity sighed. "Well, good luck joining--"

"And you heard about what happened last year, right?"

Felicity's groan became audible. "Yeah. I heard."

"It was so cool! The Queen herself went and pardoned them!"

"Yup. Great."

"And do you know about Liddan Dragneel!?"

"Nope."
