[Y/N's POV]

I woke up this morning to the sound of the bustling sidewalks and people talking this morning. If it wasn't for my increased senses, I would have probably been asleep still. Oh well. I get up and get myself ready for the day. While I was getting dressed, I thought back on everything that's happened recently. Between Erza almost dying, the fight with Jellal, and now coming back to the guild in my true form, so much has happened in such a short time. On one hand, it's nice to be able to talk to people again, however, I wish it had come about a different way. With all the chaos that has been caused by dark guilds, it's hard to predict what might come next. First Phantom Lord attacks, now the Tower of Heaven has been destroyed, what will happen now? Will it be a fake request that leads to a trap? Will a dark guild try and take over Fiore? There's no way to know.

I shake my head to push the thoughts away. Those thoughts are unnecessary right now. All that matters is that everyone is fine. I finish getting my stuff ready to leave and pack my bag with notebooks and such for calculations when I get to the guild. I grab my headphones, head out, and start to listen to some Lamb of God. For being more of a passive member of the guild, the music I listen to doesn't reflect on that at all. Why should I care though? My friends have my back if need be. And if worse comes to worst, my mother and father will always be there for me. 

I eventually get to the guild, and before I got close to the doors, I could already hear the chaos that's going on in there. Sighing, I just prepare myself for what lies behind these doors. When I finally open the door, I saw that the "chaos" was really just tons of people talking and hanging out.

Y/N: 'That's a first. The guild isn't at each other's throats.'

I was about to walk over to my take my seat at a quiet table in the corner, but a certain red-haired girl called me over before I could do so.

Erza: "Y/N! Come join us over here. We have more than enough room for you."

I sigh knowing that she won't take no for an answer and make my way towards the table. When I got over there, Erza pats the seat next to her.

Erza: "Come on, there are some new members that joined the guild. I want you to meet them." *looks to see Natsu glaring at one of the new members* "Natsu stop being rude. He's apart of Fairytail now. He's apart of our family."

I focus my thoughts on what's going on at this moment to try and avoid the malicious thoughts that appeared in my head in response to her statement.

Erza: *ahem* "The first one, as you could probably guess, is Juvia Lockser. She was a former member of Phantom Lord but has been brought to light by Gray."
