Fairy Tail (Book 1 - Rose's Story)

Fire Dragon, Water Dragon, Monkey, Bull, and Scorpion

"We made it back alive!"

"We're home!"

"Missed us?" I walked in casually through the large double doors Natsu kicked open, and also may have broken. It would probably have been the tenth time he's done that. I smiled at everyone who waved, welcoming us back home. Coming back was always a good feeling - one I'd never have to miss.

Lucy stood behind us, looking around with amazement. All of her dreams were coming true and it must been a feeling like no other.

One of the Guild members grinned at us, with his buck teeth sticking out. "So Natsu, Rose, I heard you went all out in Hargeon. Had to go starting trouble-" He was easily cut off by my foot slamming into his face. He landed into a table or two, face first while I turned on my heel. "That's all you do, hear things huh? We wouldn't have had to start any trouble if you hadn't given us the wrong information!"

"You want to fight, Fairy Tail princess?" He got up from the debris, flexing.

I didn't hesitate in walking over, all of our fellow Guild members eyes on me as I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "Call me that one more time and I'll knock your buck teeth back into place." I slammed him back into the broken table before waving off for Natsu to deal with him. I didn't get involved into meaningless fights unless I was bored or absolutely had to, my male counterpart took no shame into jumping on one of the tables, grasping his bicep.

"I'm going to kick your ass for making me travel on a train to somewhere I had no business being in the first place!"

"I didn't make you do anything!"

"Shut up and fight me!"

Before anyone knew it, Wizards ran around slamming and throwing things about the building. You would think a Guild Hall would be more at peace, calm even. Not here - definitely not here. It was too full of hard-headed Magic folk too powerful for their own good. Everyone here thought they were the best or the strongest. Lucy had come over to where I stood so she wouldn't get caught up in it and I turned to her.

"Still happy to have arrived at a house full of psychopaths?"

She looked at me, grinning. "It's better than I imagined."

I automatically knew she'd fit in here and that made me smile. There weren't many girls around the same age as me here - just a couple of boys. This was a guild where someone every day was either thrown into a wall or bench, or walking around partially half naked. Just like the boy who appeared in front of us - Gray Forbuster.

He stood shirtless and pant-less which was nothing to me but to Lucy? Her entire face turned red and she forced herself to look away. She must not have been around naked men as much as I have. Gray was eighteen, a year older than the both of us. He was incredibly strong, always competing with me trying to be better than me.

I thought nothing of him, mostly because he had the incapability of being able to keep his clothes on and I didn't. His most prominent feature was his black hair along with his dark blue eyes. His body was rather muscular, toned. His member stamp had resided below his collarbone on his right pectoral - same shade as his eyes. The only piece of clothing he wore constantly was his necklace that resembled a sword with a stone in it.

I could only shake my head at him as Cana Alberona spoke beside me. "Gray, your clothes." She held a wine class, swishing it around. Cana was incredibly beautiful, along with being one of my closest friends. She was a tall slim young woman with tan skin and mid-back length brown hair which matched her eyes.

She was more manlier than half the guys in the Guild, being labeled as Fairy Tail's "heaviest drinker".

"He's ridiculous, always yelling that he doesn't have time to put on clothes when it takes the same amount of time to put them back on." She complained to me, I couldn't have said it any better myself. "Gray, if you weren't so worried about taking your clothes off all the time then maybe you could actually start some real training to be as half as powerful as I am." I teased him which only made him glare at me.
