Angel Rose

Chapter 3

"Shh... Natsu. She needs her rest. I'm sure this is a big shock for her. Master said she fainted when he asked if she wanted to join the guild. What if you scared her into not wanting anything to do with us?" I heard Lucy's voice speaking to my left. I fainted again? How long was I out this time?

"I could never be scared of a Fairy Tail wizard, Lucy. It's just a huge adjustment and a dream come true for me." I refuted as I rose up on the bed.

"Angel... Master wanted you to rest. Sorry if we woke you up - Natsu wanted to pay you a visit." Lucy apologized.

"It's fine, Lucy. I should get up, anyway. If I'm going to be a member of the guild, I should have the mark to prove it."

"See?! I told you, Lucy!" Happy shouted.

"Shut it, cat!" Lucy snapped back at him.

"Alright, don't start you two. I want to start today off better than yesterday. I can start by changing my clothes. Did Mira happen to find a suitcase in her room?"

"Yeah. She's been trying to find out where it came from. Is it yours?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah. I'm so glad I didn't lose it. At least I'll have some of my things from home. Natsu, can you run and get my suitcase from Mira?" I requested.

"Uh... sure. Come on, Happy." He agreed, running off with his blue feline flying above him.

"Now that we're alone, there's something I want to talk to you about, Lucy."

"Huh?"

"It's about Natsu. You and Natsu, specifically."

"We're best friends."

"I know you are. But there's more to it than that and I need you to listen. Natsu is more than just your best friend and partner. He's your future: One of the few things I remember from my world is how you all end up pairing off. You don't have to worry about anything now, but I thought you should know. Natsu is dense when it comes to everything but food and fighting. And you're a bit of a tsundere - don't deny it, you are. I just want you to think about it and realize the potential you have as a couple. I'll explain more later, Natsu's coming back with Laxus and... Bickslow?" Not a minute later, Natsu burst through the door of the guild infirmary with my suitcase in hand, Laxus and Bickslow trailing behind him.

"How did you know Bickslow was with him? You haven't even met him yet." Lucy asked.

"I know his voice. How did you not hear them? Natsu and Bickslow are pretty loud on their own."

"Angel... that door is two feet thick." Lucy pointed out.

"Oh, that's great. Just great. Not only did I end up with lightning magic, but it's First Generation Lightning Dragon Slayer magic. Great. Alright, unless you're looking for a show, get the fuck out so I can change clothes." I announced, pointing back to the door. I waited for them all to file out and the door to close before I stripped out of my cosplay. I unzipped my suitcase and pulled out my clothes. Once I was changed, I pulled on my favorite necklace and my shoes. "Alright, you can come back in now. I'm decent." I called out. One by one, all four lined back into the room.

"Wow. That's a pretty necklace, Angel." Lucy commented.

"Oh, thanks, Lucy. It was left with me as a baby at the orphanage I grew up in. I've always had it."

"That necklace is dancing with magic." Bickslow spoke up.

"What?" But how? I'm not from here, so how does my necklace have magic?

"Yeah. It's cloaked in it. And so are you. I'd say you're almost on par with an S-class wizard."

"Lovely... Welp, Laxus, you're a Second Generation Dragon Slayer, I'm appointing you and Gajeel to train me."
