Chapter 20

The chapter we've all been waiting for, huh? Well, good reading guys. You're in for a surprise, I'm just saying. And I think you might like it. I apologize for any grammar errors that I have made! R&R!

Disclaimer: It's getting hard to make excuses up for Slowpoke still owning Fairy Tail. But I'll get it one day... I swear.

At the Train Station in Magnolia - A pair of weeks after Lucy's encounter with the Trimen

Hibiki's P.O.V

I stepped out of the train, having reached Magnolia. The other Trimen, excluding Ichiya, and I had finally gotten some time off. Since the suspicious encounter with Lucy in Maletame, we'd wanted to pay a visit to Fairy Tail and find out why she didn't have the Fairy Tail insignia on her hand.

That little encounter with her and her friends had been etched into the back of my mind, I just couldn't forget it. The scene kept replaying in my head over and over again, it was so suspicious. There was something critical I missed, and it nagged me. I never missed anything. I was Hibiki Lates, after all.

"Are you coming, Hibiki?" Eve asked and pulled me out of my thoughts. I nodded and caught up to him and Ren. The streets of Magnolia were buzzing with people as always, if anything, they were even more busy that usual, with the S-Class Exam coming up soon.

Which also raised some questions, if Lucy wasn't in the guild, which her lack of insignia suggested, what was going on in Fairy Tail?

We walked across the streets, trying to come through all the people. It proved to be hard, for some reason everyone chose today to go shopping. Just my luck.

After trying to get through the crazy hordes of people, we finally reached the guild. There was a lot of noise coming from in there, but not the kind of noise that usually came from there, this was more like many people gathered at one place, waiting for someone or something.

I walked up to the guild with my two friends silently following me. The noise only grew the closer we came, but it was the wrong kind of noise. For Fairy tail anyway. They were supposed to be battling it out and drinking like no tomorrow, not... This. There was something up.

"Get out of my way! Coming through! Move your fat ass mister!" A female voice with a sharp edge cut through every other voice, and growing louder and at last a little, round lady in a dress sitting too tight and weird hair stood at the gate up to the Fairy Tail guild. She spotted the three of us and walked up to us, handing us a letter. "You, mages of Fairy Tail, give this to your master or something." She said as she turned around and walked towards the crowds again.

I tried running after her, but she got lost in the crowd. "Wait! But we're not Fairy Tail mages!" I yelled after her, she didn't hear anything, although we could easily hear her sharp voice through all the noise. I sweat dropped. Well, nothing to do about it, I just had to deliver it to Master Makarov myself then. I turned the letter and inspected it. Well, it was a letter and a package with it. I looked at the letter, there was something written on it with a beautiful handwriting. 'To the guild' it simply said. I didn't recognize the handwriting on it, but somehow knew it was important. I looked at the package, it was assigned to Levy. I turned to my two friends. "Ren, Eve, we have a package to deliver to Master Makarov." I declared.

They nodded simultaneously and we kicked open the door, in real Fairy Tail-fashion. All eyes turned to us, just as I had expected them to. "Where's Master Makarov? I have something for him." I asked the now somewhat silent guild members. They all seemed to be here.
