What If...

Chapter 5

Rogue woke up to someone shaking him. He shooed the person away and said, "Mmm, go away."

The person stopped and he thought they were done, only to have someone pull him off the couch all of a sudden. His eyes shot open half way down and he grunted when he hit the carpeted floor. He looked up to see the frustrated face of one blonde celestial wizard. Said wizard jerked her head upward while saying, "Come on, get up. We gotta see the Master remember?"

He rolled over so his face was in the carpet and groaned dramatically before heaving up off the floor with the help of his arms. He tiredly walked over to the kitchen and saw Lucy cooking eggs and bacon. He inhaled deeply and said with a smile, "Mmm, smells good."

The blonde turned around and looked over the white shadow dragon before she went into her laundry room and came out with his clean clothes and said, "Get dressed. We're leaving after we eat. We need to get there before any other members show up."

He nods, acknowledging the serious tone in her voice and did as told. When he came back Lucy was already sitting at the table eating with his plate across from hers. He took his seat and started eating. They finished quickly and headed out of her apartment. 

The sun was barely peaking over the horizon as they made it to the guild. Lucy stopped and looked at Rogue and said, "Can you smell if anyone other than the Master is inside?"

He sniffed the air and couldn't smell any other scent than Master Makarov's. He shook his head at the blonde and she sighed before slowly opening the guild doors and walking inside with Rogue right behind her. They looked around the guild before heading up the stairs and making a left. Lucy suddenly stopped in front of a door and sighed before slowly lifting her fist and knocking three times on the door. They heard some rustling and then a muffled, "Come in."

Lucy gestured with her hand for Rogue to stay out here until she called him in. He nodded and stayed where he was.

The blonde walked into Master's office nervously and stood in front of him. When Master looked up he saw his favorite celestial mage standing in front of him and greeted happily, "Ah, Lucy my child. I was expecting you, but I didn't think you would come so early. First Master Mavis told me you have a surprise of some sort?"

Lucy pursed her lips in a forced smile and said, "Oh you'll definitely be surprised."

The master grinned and said, "Well what is it my child I'm dying to see it."

Lucy mumbled under her breath, "Oh you'll die alright."

Lucy went to the door and opened it, but before she gestured Rogue to come in she informed, "By the way the surprise isn't an it but a who."

The master raised a brow at this and wondered why her aura suddenly got so worried. She gestured to Rogue to walk in. He did so very reluctantly, his palms suddenly became sweaty. (A/N: Knees weak, arms are heavy.) When Master saw him, his old face went to one of anger. Both mages could tell he was trying not to lose control of it. He said in a very serious monotone voice, "Lucy, why have you brought him here?"

The celestial mage cowered a little bit but answered, "U-um, he's kind of, a member of Fairy Tail now. So I wanted to let you know about it since ya know, you're the master."

His face turned confused, "How on Earth Land is he apart of Fairy Tail when I didn't put the guild stamp on him?"

Before Lucy could answer everyone heard a small voice say, "That's because it was me who put it on him."

Master Makarov turned to see Master Mavis smiling childishly at him. His jaw dropped and his face paled as he said, "But First Master why would you give him a guild mark? He tried to take over the world."
