Chapter 4
Sorry for the late updated. I don't own any of the characters you recognize. A/N at the bottom as always.

"Thank you Levy, that means so much to me" I replied as I hugged her back. "Enough with this conversation! Let's finish our meal and get to shopping!" I yelled."
Now on to the story.
Back at the guild. Freed's point of view.
As we walked down the stairs, I could see all eyes focus on us, but Lucy didn't seem to care, she was still talking to me about the mission. As we reached the bottom, I asked her if she wanted to hangout with my team, but she said she already made plans to go hang out with Levy for the day. I waved goodbye to Lucy as she made her way towards Levy and headed out the guild hall and I made my way towards the table where my friends sat.
Sitting at the table were Bickslow, the resident Seith Mage, a tall man with a mildly muscular build and broad shoulders, his upper body is covered in a dark, mildly fitting cloth covered in vertical white stripes, which extend up to his head to cover it in a tight hood, exposing only his hands and face, but he seems to always have a helmet covering his head and visor on that has eight small, elongated holes, with four of them in front of each of his eyes, allowing him to see. He only ever feels comfortable without his helmet on when we are not at the guild. He also has his dolls or "babies," which are little floating barrels with faces painted on them that are inhabited with wandering souls that he found with his magic.
Beside Bickslow sat Evergreen, the fairy magic user and the only female of the Thunder God Tribe. She has light brown hair, dark brown eyes and visible pink lips. She wears oval glasses and has a very voluptuous figure paired with very large breasts and curvy hips. She had on a green dress the stop mid thigh movable wings on the back of it. She also had on navy blue stockings along with white sandals, and carried around a feathered purple fan with three hearts on it, with her green guild stamp showing right above right side of her bosom.
The last member sitting at the table was Laxus Dreyar, the Lightning Dragon Slayer of the guild. Laxus is a blond blue eyed, very built and muscular man with a very noticeable lighting shape scar that runs on the right side of his face, just above his eyebrow to just below his cheekbone. He was currently wearing loose fitting dark red jeans and a tight black muscle shirt that showed of his physique quite well. Around his neck was his headphones that was always on his person, with his favorite black coat with feather trim around the neck and sleeves of the coat.
As I approached, the members at the table turned to look at me. They all seem to be thinking about something, Laxus especially, but before he could voice out his question, Bickslow was the first to speak.
"Yo Freed," Bickslow said., "What did the cosplayer want?" He asked, with his dolls flying above him repeating the word "cosplayer."
"Lucy wanted to know if I would like to join her on a job." I told him and the other two members that were sitting at the table.
"And what did you tell her?" Evergreen had said, with her fan opened covering her face as she spoke.
"I told her that I would be able to join her and she said that it was okay if the two," he said while looking at Bickslow and Evergreen "of you wanted join us, since Laxus-sama was leaving for his job ."
The all looked at freed in surprise. No one ever ask them to join them for a job, at least not since Fantasia. Some of their guild mates were still weary of them after the whole incident.
"Why isn't Flame brain or the rest of her idiot teammates accompanying her?" Laxus had finally voiced out.
"She didn't mention anything about Team Natsu, but last I heard from Mirajane was that they left on a job with Lisanna" I replied.
"Then why does she not ask the blue hair chick?" Asked Bickslow.
"She did not want to bother her, since Levyjust got back from a long mission with the Iron Dragon Slayer." I told him. "She also said that she had notice that we have not gone on a mission in a while and thought it would be a good bonding experience with us. I told her that I didn't mind, when she asked if I wanted to invite you guys with us if I was uncomfortable with going with just the two of us."
"Well I for one wouldn't mind going on a mission with another female." Evergreen added. "It would be a good experience working with members outside of our group."
"When will we be leaving?" Bixlow asked
"I told her that Laxus-sama was leaving for a solo mission in a couple days, and she said that we can spend some time with him before he leaves, so we will be leaving when Laxus-sama leaves for his mission. She also said that she will sit with us tomorrow to go over the mission with us more in detail."
Bickslow and Evergreen sat there for a while just going over their thoughts about the mission but Laxus just sat there staring at Freed, looking like he wants to say something to him. Something was bothering him, Freed knew exactly what it was but didn't feel the need to voice it out because he knew Laxus would say something, and say something he did.
"Well, I think it's a good idea for you all to go on a mission with blondie," Laxus said, bringing us out of our thoughts. "This will be a good opportunity for you all to get to know one of your guild mates better, and hopefully, the rest of the guild will come around and forgive you guys for following me and my idea of taking over the guild."
"Yo, boss man," Bickslow started, than he sigh. "None of that was your fault."
It was an argument they had with their leader quite often.
Evergreen nodded in agreement. "It might have been your idea, but we all agree to join you, we all had our own reasons for doing what we did. The fault is not your own, how many times do I have to tell you that!" She exclaimed.
"Laxus-sama, you shouldn't blame yourself for what we all did." I told him, but he didn't listen, he never did.
Ever since the whole Fantasia incident, you can see him slowly distancing himself from us. Taking more and more solo missions, spending more time away from the guild hall. He thinks that if he separates himself for us, that maybe the guild would treat us nicer. But no, the team and I have talked. We wouldn't let him do that. We are a family. We have no one but ourselves. He was our first friend, the reason why we are in this guild. No, we wouldn't let him be alone anymore.

A.N
Thanks to everyone that reviewed, followed and favorited the story! Sorry for the short chapters, but I promise that the chapters will start to get longer when we start on our journey!
F.Y.I. Fantasia did happen, but the outcome is different, as you can tell, Laxus was never exile. I can write a separate one shot of it if you guys would like to read it, but the story will explain more of it in the coming chapters when Lucy and the Ranjinshu go on the mission!
Sorry for any mistakes I made.
Feel free to PM me with ideas or suggestions.
