Water Dragon

Team Natsu

"Did you just deny my offer? We are the strongest team in Fairy Tail, and you look me in the eyes and say no?"

I smile brighter, "Why yes! You have nothing to offer me but distrust."

Erza looks surprised.

"Erza I understand you don't trust me, i won't work with you."

"Outside now."

I turn away from her, "You don't control me."

"Pl-please come with me outside."

"Fine."

It isn't until right then I notice how the whole guild is watching us. I hold my head high.

"I heard everything Erza, I'm sorry that you have no trust for me. Lucy does though and if you want me you just need to follow her lead. You say I'm hiding something, and I am Erza, but it's to... I can't.."

"Will it hurt anyone?"

"Only my pride and dignity. It would hurt people to know it."

She nods, "I feel like I understand. Now can we go over my offer again?"

"Yes, I will give your team a test trial, and if we're not compatible then I won't join."

"I have a feeling we are, but okay."

I laugh, "Miss Erza Scarlet I feel like the two of us are going to get along well."

"Me too Aquaria, me too."

We reenter the guild and I go over to Lucy and Mira, telling them about my conversation with Erza. Afterwards, instead of staying, since the day is still young, Lucy and I go over to her apartment.

"You can put your things in this side of the dresser and closet."

I blush,"The only clothes I have are the ones I'm wearing."

She looks very shocked, and starts lecturing about how I always used to have millions of clothes. How I always changed into the cutest outfits.

"Travel happens, and can I um, bathe?"

"Yeah, I'll let you borrow some of my clothes." She goes and grabs me a towel, throwing it at my face.

I fill her bath with nice warm water and bubbles, sit down and relax. I rest my head back and sigh, this is nice. A chance to relax after the travel I had, a chance to finally settle down. I've always tried to stay on the move, but I feel that I'm finally able to settle down in one spot. After a while I get out, wrap the towel around me, and grab a pair of clothes from Lucy's dresser. A pair of denim shorts, and a blue, strapless crop top. I brush and dry my hair. Then walk out only to see Natsu, Happy and Grey inside the apartment.

"What're you guys doing here!?"

Happy walks over to me, "It's sorta our thing."

Lucy three idiots are in your house. Where are you?

Coming! Went to go grab you and I food! I got extra for them just in case. But, TELL THEM TO GET OUT! She screams in my mind.

"Lucy says to get out!"

They look confused and Grey looks around, "I don't see Lucy anywhere."

"Well," I take a breath, "She said you guys aren't allowed in here. She stepped out to go get something, and said if you guys show up then to tell you to get out. So get out of her home."

Natsu shakes his head, "Fight me!"

"No."

"Why not?" He growls.
