"Stand tall, my partner! Together, we shall defeat this enemy and rescue the Hero of Legends from their terrible clutches!" Kagura shouted.

Many guilds were among the crowded theater, watching some of their members perform an play about an ancient myth about a pair of legendary fighters who seek out the help of a legendary hero, only to find him captured and a terrifying enemy force trying to use him to conquer the world. The play was for charity for a church that housed orphans. Apparently, a wizard in Fairy Tail who loves to drink used to belong to that church and organized this event, since it has some money troubles.

At least, that's what Rogue had heard.

Wizards from Fairy Tail, Sabertooth, Lamia Scale, Blue Pegasus, Quatro Cerberus, and Mermaid Heel were sprinkled into a crowd of charitable citizens. Each person, even the wizards in the guilds, wore colorful kimonos, happily watching some of their star wizards performing.

Rogue smiled at the performance. Kagura played the main character, Peko Pekoyama. Yukino playing her partner, Nami. Main villain, Medusa Gorgon, played by Sherry Blendy. Main villain's servant who actually is a supreme badass at fighting himself, Sebastian Michaelis, actually Bacchus Groh. Legendary hero, Mikasa Ackerman...

Erza Scarlet...

Her big reveal should be something interesting, to say the least.

"My friend, I trust you with my life." Yukino stood back to back with Kagura. "Together, we shall win this long battle, and bring peace back to the world!" The two then began to act out a fight against two ninjas from separate sides.

"She looks so different with a sword." Sting whispered to his best friend.

Rogue nodded. "You're right. Though, Kagura fits right in like a sword in a sheathe. For her, this is pretty much her daily life, slicing bad guys and acting like a Japanese war hero."

Sting let out a soft chuckle. "Yeah, probably."

At that moment, in the play, the two ninjas had been defeated. "Let us continue onward, Nami! This battle is only beginning!" The two girls strode off the stage as the lights went down.

The audience commenced with a loud applause, intermission beginning.

"Whoo! Go Yuki!" Sting cheered.

The crowd poured into the lobby. They spotted Yukino and Kagura, still in the their costumes and swarmed. The two had wanted to say hello before the second half of the play. The guilds praised the two ladies, though some members said a quick 'break a leg' and left for other reasons.

Rogue spotted a certain pink haired dragon, attempting to free himself from a blonde's grasp in an attempt to get more concessions. He notices a navy blue haired guy, who was shirtless for reason he dared not question, with a lighter blue haired woman practically clinging to his side.

After a while, the crowd disbanded, and Rogue found himself alone in the lobby, Sting having ditched him to give Yukino a little 'good luck,' which is their code for a quick makeout before the next part of the play.

"What, you couldn't bother to say how great I was?"

Rogue turned to find Kagura in the lobby with him. "Hey."

"Really now, Rogue, you didn't say hi to either of us. Are you some kind of wallflower?" the girl teased.

"Now now, don't be hasty. I was a bit busy, I remembered that Frosch wanted to get some more snacks. He's off with Lector, Orga, and the others."

"Speaking of your guild, how long is your twin dragon going to make out with the my partner?"

Rogue let out a laugh and sighed happily. "I don't know. At most, until you're all called back."

Kagura sighed. "That might be a problem. I'm not knocking on the supply closet to tell her to get back, so someone better find out."

"Excuse me."

Kagura and Rogue turned to face a pair of men with confused expressions. "I'm sorry, what?" Kagura asked.

One man put his hands in his pocket. "We've been looking for someone we're supposed to meet here, an old friend. Have you seen a man with six fingers on one hand and a set of wood teeth?"

The pair were confused, but Rogue answered. "No, I'd remember someone like that, considering it sounds like he is some crazy imaginary friend."

The next moment happened in a flash.

The men smirked as the one who stuck his hands in his pockets pulled out a knife and took Kagura hostage in a flash, the other pulled a gun out of his shirt and pointed it at Rogue. "Hands up, emo."

Rogue put his hands up, but kept a smirk. "Is this a mugging?"

The knife guy nodded. "Yeah, it is, smart guy. Wipe that cocky grin off your face!"

Rogue let out a chuckle. "Well, you better not worry about me."

In a swift motion, Kagura kicked the knife guy in the privates. The gun guy panicked and fired a shot at Rogue, who expertly dodged the second before. He got right up in the guy's face.

"I'm not an emo. I'm a fighter." Rogue punched the guy in the face.

The owner of the theater ran out into the lobby, and called for help. Rogue and Kagura left the lobby and went to a little hallway.

"So, you're a fighter now, huh?" the girl teased.

"Admit it, it sounded cool."

She nodded. "Guess you saved me, huh?"

Rogue nodded. "Do I get a little reward or something now?"

Kagura smirked. "Well, I've got about seven more minutes until intermission is over."

"Got another supply closet?"

The two chuckled.

"Sure, why not? Down this hall, fighter."

The two walked down the hall, arm in arm.
