"It's so nice to have another woman along on a job." Evergreen commented as we settled into our hotel room.

"It can't be easy  for your to always work with three guys. Especially with how weird they all are in their own ways."

"Don't get me wrong, I love my team. But I can only spend so much time around them before they start to annoy me."

"I understand, Ever. Do you want the first shower before we get ready?" I offered.



"That's a beautiful bikini, Angel." Evergreen complimented.

"Thanks, Ever, but not near as beautiful as yours. I could never pull off that color."

"Well... shall we go meet the others in the lobby. Laxus and Free will need some time to prepare the beach."

"Yes, I think we shall. Don't forget your wrap." I tossed Evergreen her wrap and grabbed my own as I followed her out the door of our hotel room. We went down two flights of staris to find the men of the Thunder Legion waiting for us in the lobby. There's wearing their swimsuits from the OVA... that's so cute. "We're ready when you are." I spoke up as we stepped beside their chairs.

"Wow, short stack, you clean up good." Bickslow complimented, his tongue sticking out.

"Put your tongue away, Bix, or I'll show you mine." I warned him.

"Ha, I'd love to see that!" Bickslow laughed. I did warn him.

"Bix," When I was sure he was watching me, I stuck out my tongue and wiggled the metal that pierced said flesh around.

"Whoa! Boss-man, you ever seen anything like that?" Bickslow freaked, jumping back from me and nearly toppling over in his chair.

"Of course, idiot. It's just a piercing. Let's get to work, the faster this goes by, the fast we can get the hell away from these nobles."



We spent an hour and a half setting up run perimeters and rules to make sure that only invited guests got on the rented expanse of the beach. "I want to thank you in advance for taking this job. I don't want anything to ruin this party fo rmy son."

"It's no big deal. It's just a party; this'll go by smoothly." Laxus replied.

"We'll position ourselves around the main part of it so we can keep an eye on everything. Nothing will go wrong while we're here."

"We should get into position. Guests are strating to arrive." Freed added to my comment.



So far, so good. For nobles' kids, they don't get too rowdy when they have freedom. The party was only an hour or so in, all of the parents just having left the beach for their hotel rooms. I spoke too soon. The music was cranked up loud now, and some of the nobles with decent magic were starting to show off. "Hey, pretty lady. Why don't you join me on the dance floor?" One boy came up to me and asked.

"Sorry, I'm here on a job. Why don't you go ask one of those girls to dance, instead?" I politely declined, motioning to a gaggle of girls closer to the bonfire.

"Aw, come on. A girl that looks like you would be so much more fun." he complained, throwing his arm over my shoulder.

"I would appreciate if you didn't touch me." I asserted, removing his arm.
