"Did Erza go on another S-Class mission?" Natsu began to whine.

"S-Class?" I questioned.

"Master hand picks the mages that he thinks can handle it. They're almost always-" Mira was cut off by Natsu, the flaming idiot.

"Extremely fun!" Natsu began, "In all those missions you get to beat everyone up!" He was starting to get an evil gleam in his eyes.

"Uh..." I started to say, "Then why don't you take one?"

Just as Natsu began to smirk and turn towards the guild's staircase, Mira grabbed the back of his shirt. "Natsu isn't an S-Class wizard." She explained through her teeth as her eyebrow twitched in anger.

"But Ice Prince's idea seems more fun!" Natsu whined.

"It won't be fun if I pummel you before you have the chance." I threatened as I clashed foreheads with Natsu the Idiot.

"Is that a challenge?" He questioned, clashing back.

"What else would it be?!" I yelled as I slung my arm back, readying to punch. 

Natsu had beaten me to it and I felt a dull pain in my stomach. "You're gonna pay for that one." I snarled and socked him square in his loud mouth.

"Was that a punch or a tickle?" The sack of salmonella taunted.

"Why I oughtta-!" I was cut off by Mira giggling, now back behind the bar.

I turned away from the trash can in front of me and faced Mira wish a questioning look on my face. "You already seem to be fitting in here." She cheered with a cute smile.

I blushed and started walking away from my fight. Like I fit in with him at all. That seemed to irritate Pinkie enough to go in a corner and fume.

Just then, a small dark haired child came bursting through the guild doors. "Has anyone seen my dad?!" He yelled, stopping numerous brawls, cheers and conversations.

I gave Mira a confused look and she went to go confront the boy. "Your dad went to Mt. Hakobe, remember? I'm sure he'll be back within a few days; many people said there was a blizzard."

The tearful kid, stubborn as he seemed, couldn't argue with Mira and left, still upset. Natsu seemed angered by the ordeal and stalked out of the guild after the kid. "What was that about?" I questioned Mira as she went back to clean glasses near my seat at the bar.

"Well, Romeo is Macao's son. You don't know him, but he is very kind and cares for everyone here as well as his family... He's been gone a week but he had only planned to stay at Mt. Hakobe for three days..." Mira explained with a saddened look.

"I know how that feels..." I said, thinking about Ur. "I actually love mountains, so where is this Mt. Hakobe?" I asked Mira.

She kindly gave me directions where'd I'd find transportation there. I waved back at her as I exited the guild.

...

"Why're you here!?" Pinkie and I yelled at the same time.

"I asked first!" We both yelled, yet again in unison. This, of course, made Happy- Natsu's best friend and cat- giggle.
