A Visit to Magnolia

Chloe had arrived at the guild hall in the early morning. Chloe smiled as Gwen flew up to her to wait for Aayla to arrive. Chloe hoped that Aayla would arrive soon so she could introduce her to her friends. Eventually, Chloe saw that the sun was rising and hoped Aayla had a good trip.

Kyoya had woken up due to noises from other areas in the house. Oh, how this was usually one of the few flaws of sharing a house, though Kyoya didn't mind it. Gwen and Chloe were very nice, anyway, and the three had a lot of fun together ever since that first day. Kyoya had her renovations finished at this point, with her room customized to her liking. It replicated her dream room; the room that reflected the light inside her, and represented her own dreamland. Most of the room was indigo just like her eyes, which emphasized how unique Kyoya was. The other colours were cool to represent how calm Kyoya was and how refreshing her presence could be towards other people. Albeit, Kyoya stopped looking around after she noticed the clock. It was one in the afternoon, and after she peeped out the window, Kyoya noticed she was the only one left in the house. With this taken into account, Kyoya needed to prepare herself.

Kyoya discarded the clothes she was wearing onto the bed so she could take a shower in her own personal bathroom. She always set the water on high temperatures so she could be side awake after she finished this part of her routine. When she was done with her shower, Kyoya dried herself off and walked back into her bedroom to find her original pair of clothes. She tended to clean and dry these clothes often as they were her legendary set of attire. Nothing ever beat this sort of apparel Kyoya wore according to her standards. Anyway, once Kyoya was dressed and completely cleansed, she ran down the stairs to grab something to eat. She made herself a bagel with cream cheese, and ate it quickly. It hurt her stomach for a second to eat the bagel at that pace, though she felt better after a couple minutes. Kyoya then proceeded to brush her teeth, pack the items most important to her in her jacket, and walked out the door. She locked the door once she proceeded outwards, then took the short distance to the guild hall, where she hugged Chloe from behind. "Good afternoon!" Kyoya cheered, "How're you?" Kyoya noticed Gwen after this question was asked, and tickled her belly a bit while the Exceed flew. It was a wonderful day outside, with a brilliant weather setting. Though Kyoya still only knew two other members of the guild, she had a feeling more were to come at this time- or at least more Mages.

"There it is Zinny... The Fairy Tail Guild hall..."
Aayla's heart was pounding havily in her chest as the pair soared high up above the streets of Magnolia. Even this high up, she could hear the odd scream of someone spotting the flying serpent and pointing up at them. True she had done quite a few jobs in Magnolia, but Zinnath had never been quite so... big then. She gently pat the Serpents neck, hugging her tightly before motioning towards a street about a block away from the guild hall. She felt Zinnath might be less intimidating if she wasn't flying and resembling a limbless dragon.

Following her suggestion, Zinnath flew down to the ground some ways away from the guild hall, folding in her wings and letting them disappear against her frame. The young dragon slayer leaped off of her friends back, gently rubbing the fins on the side of Zinnath's body before the pair headed out into the streets of MAgnolia, Zinnath slithering along behind her. A few people stopped to stare, causing Aayla to grow uncomfortable and move closer to Zinnath as they made their way to the Fairy Tail guild hall.

She stopped at the main steps and looked up at the building, her mouth twitching into a light smile once more as she carefully made her way up the steps and staring at the two large doors. Sh took a deep breath and gulped, steeling herself before gently pushing the door open, and peeking inside...

Chloe smiled when she saw that Aayla entered the guild hall, as she was waiting from inside the door for her to arrive. She instantly went towards Aayla and said, "Welcome to the hall Oneesan!" Chloe said as she went up and hugged Aayla. Meanwhile Gwen was sitting comfortably on the shoulder of Kyoya who had recently pet her.

Kyoya giggled softly when Gwen rested herself upon her shoulder. "As always, you're free to relax on my shoulder as much as you'd like!" Kyoya remarked. She looked at Chloe and watched her curiously, however, when she saw her run towards what seemed to be another Mage. From what Kyoya heard, the name Chloe used to describe the other girl indicated a sisterly love between the two, just as Kyoya thought she had with Chloe. Heck, Kyoya even pouted when Chloe seemed to ignore her sudden hug, and proceeded to the lady. Albeit, Kyoya expressed herself as if nothing were the matter, and slowly approached the two, Gwen still rested on her shoulder.

When Kyoya met up with the two alongside Gwen, Kyoya smiled lightly towards the unfamiliar woman. It was true Kyoya was jealous of her due to that name earlier, though it was actually due to that name that Kyoya noticed an immediate light in the fellow female. If she were like a sister to Chloe, this lady must've also been nice, anyway. "Hello there!" Kyoya greeted, "My name is Kyoya. It's surely nice to meet you, based on the "oneesan" I heard from Chloe, anyway." Kyoya looked over to Chloe with an upset look on her face. "Next time let me know if someone special comes by before you ignore me like that." Kyoya stated before she declared that she'd be getting a quick snack from the guild hall. This was an interesting day, for sure.

'"Hey don't leave Oneesan. I just don't get to see Aayla often ok?" Chloe said extemely worried she had upset one of her only friends. She walked up behind her and suddenly jumped on her back, which Chloe was certainly small enough to do. Chloe smiled and said, "Its great to have both of my closet friends here at once." Gwen smiled and got onto Aayla's head when Chloe went on Kyoya.

"eep"
The small noise escaped her lips as the elder girl came rushing over and hugging her while she hadn't quite walked into the guild hall yet. She could have sworn Chloe had been sitting there, impatiently waiting her arrival from Sky Tower. She shook her head and smiled, hugging Chloe tightly.

"H...Hi Chloe I'm sorry I took s...so long. It's harder to walk a...around than I thought it would be..."
She muttered softly. There were still stitched apparent on her right leg, thankfully, the ones on her arms had already healed, or that hug would have really hurt. Just then, a girl with hair even paler than her own walked up to the pair and introduced herself as Kyoya. She seemed to be happy, but then get a sudden disapproving pout aimed at Chloe.

"I'm sorry if I... if I interrupted anything. My name is Aayla... Aayla Mzune and I'm from... uhm I'm from Sabertooth."
She said shyly, her cheeks beginning to burn slightly as she met this new woman. She knew of cours she put herself in this social situation, and was trying really hard not to stutter, blush or just run away from meeting these new people. Sure they were from a different guild but... how bad could that guild be with Chloe in it?

Finally, when Gwen sat on her head she chuckled softly, reaching up to gently scratch the feline behind the ear gently. She really did hate cats... but so far, Gwen was alright...

Kyoya gasped when she felt a sudden load of weight hop on her back. "What are you doing, Chloe?" Kyoya asked, "I was just going to get something from the guild hall..." Kyoya pouted and walked back over to Aayla carrying Chloe. She saw Gwen laugh from the pressure Kyoya had dealt with, which caused Kyoya to stick her out, in response. "Don't blame yourself for any of this..." Kyoya advised Aayla, "So you're from Sabertooth, huh? How's that guild going for ya?" Kyoya gave Aayla a welcoming smile when she asked this, primarily to inform her that there was no harm intended in this case, and if there was, she held no responsibility. The two were new to each other, after all, so unless this woman said something nasty, Kyoya was neutral with her at this point.

Aayla couldn't help but giggle softly as she watched Chloe leap up onto Kyoya like that, giggling in time to Gwen's giggles as the exceed sat on top of her head. When Kyoya finally asked her about Sabertooth however, she blushed slightly but smiled.

"Sabertooth is the best. I might not know everyone yet but... everyone I know is very... very nice to me. They all treat me like im their little sister. So... their all like my new family."
She said, smiling a little bit brighter now at the thought of her guild and how loved she was back home. She was part of a team that continued to grow in size and goofiness each day... she had Marick who had saved her when she first joined, and Mr Zenshin too... she liked Adelheid and Skye, Eli and even Emilia. She couldn't complain about any one of them at all.

"It gets crazy sometimes but...  wouldn't have it any other way... It's kind of wierd being in... in another guilds guildhall though..."
She stated softly as she gave the guildhall a quick look around. It was very very different from the Sabertooth guildhall and the more she looked, the more uneas she felt being here.

"Well if you don't like that, we can go back to my place if you wish?" Chloe said as he got off of Kyoya's shoulders and Gwen fly onto her head. Chloe smiled and looked around all of the chaos going on in the guild hall before turning back to Aayla, "This place is a bit crazy isn't it." Chloe said before she turned to Kyoya, "So would you like to join us?" Chloe said as Gwen put on her puppy dog eyes.

Kyoya blushed towards Aayla's comment of Sabertooth. So this is what a guild was like, huh? Very interesting. Kyoya couldn't help but appreciate the three surrounding her more after she heard that story. Though it became crazy at times- as Aayla addressed- it only reminded Kyoya of the rumours of Fairy Tail. Kyoya was looking forward to meeting everybody in the guild; or at least as many as possible. She understood that people liked to keep things to themselves, so Kyoya didn't mind not meeting a few people on this trip. Her goal primarily was get to used to the guild.

This was when reality struck Kyoya again. It seemed she had spaced out during her thoughts- thinking time, if you will. "I will gladly join you!" Kyoya replied, trying to make the moment happier. She was honoured to be thought of like a sister to Gwen. She really wished she had one in the past, though it seemed fate had other things in store.

Spoiler:

"O...Oh I didn't mean... I didn't mean that I didn't like y...your guildhall or anything! It's very nice! I'm just a... a little nervous a...about meeting everyone is all..."
The young dragon slayer clarified, nervously twirling at the long blue locks that seemed to flow over her shoulder as if a stream or ever flowing water. If you just looked at her hair quickly, for a moment it wouldn't seem as if there was an end to her hair.

"Are you sure... that Zinnath and I won't be a burden I mean."
She said shyly, her cheeks flushing bright red as she looked between Chloe and Kyoya.
