NATSU POV

"D-Dragneel," I said.

She looked at me strangly. Probably 'cause I was staring at her in awe.

"I know what your thinking," Alex said looking at me,"and yes I did train with Igneel, I have been for the past 5 months."

I was in full and utter shock. How did she find Igneel? "Do you have a gift too?" I asked holding onto my scarf. If she was going to proove that she trained with him then surely Igneel gave her a gift as well.

"Yes," she replied pointing to her foot and I saw it. An anklet with a claw and dragon scales. "Is this enough proof?" she asked,"I would like to join the guild and quickly please."

"Right this way, Alex," said Mira,"I'm sure Master can't wait to see you!"

Alex followed Mira and we still both looked at each other intently. She knew where he was...HOW?! I thought to myself. I don't know why, but I got a feeling that I already knew her. Not her as in I met her before, but like I have sensed her power before.
Strange.

ALEX POV

"Where would you like your guild mark?" Mira asked me after I talked to Master about my job. I pointed to my old spot where my original mark was.
She said okay and put a random color on my back. The glow looked purple, so I assume my mark is now purple and not black.

"Thank you, Mira. Can you add like a design with it, too?" I asked. She didn't reply, she said to stay put and continued to add designs on my back. When it was done, it looked amazing.
I grinned with amazement.

When I walked out with the Master, he introduced me and the guild was excited. They acted like I was their long lost sister or something. All I did was smile a really big smile. I couldn't help it! They were all so cheerful.

I decided to go sit with Natsu, Lucy, and Happy. I didn't talk much to Happy though.

"Hi, Alex right? I'm Lucy!" She held out her hand for me to shake it. I returned the gesture."And you already know Natsu from Igneel," she pointed to Natsu who was eating like a wild pig.
"Last but not least, Happy," she pointed at the blue cat. I looked at Happy and all the memories of Prada came rushing back into me. I didn't realize what I was doing until Natsu and Lucy were waving their hands and snapping their fingers at me. I was hugging Happy tightly and crying.

(FTF- This will be explained later on in the story)

"Oh, I'm sorry Happy! You just look alot like......." I didn't want to say her name.

"Alot like who?" Natsu asked curiously.

"No one. Just forget I said anything about it."

Natsu was a very nosy son of a gun. He kept asking me what kind of dragon slayer Magic I used -_-'. Then someone walked up to our table.

"Well, Hot Head, if you were both trained by Igneel and you use FIRE DRAGON SLAYER magic then what do you think?" The man with black hair said.

"SHADDUP, SNOW FLAKE! NO ONE SAID YOU COULD GET IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR CONVERSATION!" Natsu shot back angrily.

They both got into an all out fight. Then someone with scarlet red hair grabbed Gray and Natsu by their hair and slammed their heads together.
"Both of you, stop fighting, NOW! Your making a fool out of yourselves in front of Alex," she said.

"Sorry, Erza," they said simutaneously.

"Hey, Natsu," I said in the direction of the two boys on the floor,"If you really want to see me in action, pick someone for me to fight. And it can't be you, that would just be a waste of time and energy."

It looked like he was scanning the guild. Was it really that hard for him to find an opponent for me? First he looked at Lucy, then Lucy blushed and then back-handed him."DON'T PICK ME!!!" She said angrily.

"Alright. Geez I was just playin' with you." He replied innocently. Then he got an idea, and he smiled a wicked evil smile,"GAJEEL!!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE, NOW," he shouted across the room to a muscular guy with rough black hair and iron piercings above his eyes, and on his nose. Eh, he doesn't look that tough. I thought to myself. When Natsu explained what was going on, Gajeel turned his hand into an iron club."Alright, but I'm not going easy on her," he replied.

"Before you brats tear up the guild take it outside we can't afford to rebuild the guild hall again," Master said.

Happy started taking people up on bets for who was going to win. Alot were on me, but the majority of the bets went to Gajeels win. This brings back some memories.

We got out to the battle ground, which was the beach. He was ready, but I had to get comfortable.

"EH?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?" Gajeel asked me confused. I had just got finished changing into my Swim Suit.

"Well the battle ground is the beach and it is my strong point to move loosely," I said while stretching my back.

"Well, I've delt with your type of magic before," he said looking at Natsu,"and I don't plan on losing to the same kind of magic again."

"Alright, now I want a clean fight," Master said then turned to me,"you can't use the secret art techniques."

"Ready........ set............ FIGHT!"
