My First Job
~~~~ Inside Fairy Tail Guild
In the midst of afternoon, Wendy was standing beside Charle in front of the request board hoping to find something that suits her. She's been doing missions only inside Magnolia and she's never gone a mission on going to another town. As from what Mirajane had said to her earlier about trying bigger missions from distant towns so she would choose her first ever job request. Wendy chose her request with the help of Lucy, Natsu and Happy. From what Wendy had chosen from the request, it was supposed to heal someone, coming from Rabian, the head of a drama troupe that Natsu and the others helped stage the play "Frederick and Yanderica".
Charle on the other seemed to have not care anything that Wendy chooses and even tried to dissuade her not to do it because she is just overprotective to her. She is still not used to the guild as she should be. This is their first time to see such a guild where countless brawls occured everyday. Not to mention the two mages who were mostly on the center of it.
"I think I'm okay with this mission guys." Wendy said after picking a paper job request and gave them her innocent smile.
"Are you sure about that Wendy? I don't want you to see that man. He's a total maniac!" Lucy said as she try to recall from last time they accepted the same job request which ended badly to them. Only Erza seemed to enjoy that time.
"Yes I'm sure Lucy-san. I wanted to prove to everyone that I can take care myself." She replied while smiling with determination in her eyes.
"Wait!" A voice sounded behind them. It was Master Makarov who was at the bar drinking his mug. He asked for Wendy's job request to have a look at it. Then finally returning it to her before looking back to his kids. "Since it was Wendy's first time going from another town then it would be better if we take someone with her who is familiar to the place she's going to. The name of the town is Onibus." Master then glanced to his kids.
"Do any of you know this city.?" He asked to his kids.
Everyone exchanged looks to each other. No one has been familiar to Onibus on their missions. It's because that mages travel to town only to finish the job then returning without having something to remember the places they have traveled through.
Master Makarov knew some people who've been to Onibus so he started to point out to Happy first.
"You've been in Onibus Happy so you'll accompany Wendy on her first job."
Happy jawdropped having to mention his name.
"Whaaaaatt!? But I have somewhere to go with Natsu." Happy whined.
"It can wait Happy but you're essential for Wendy's first mission." Master spoke to him leaving Happy sigh in defeat.
"Hmmm the second one is," Master Makarov putting his finger to his chin looking to the group and finally looking to Freed who is sitting in a stool in his corner.
"You Freed will accompany Wendy to Onibus with Happy." Master Makarov said after finalizing the group.
"If that's what the Master wants then I'll do it." Freed solely swore with a slight bow with his right hand in his chest like a loyal knight.
"But do not help Wendy on her job unless it is needed." Master Makarov reminded them.
"Yes Master." Freed nodded.
Now that the group needed for Wendy's first job is settled, everyone return to their previous venture. Happy was sulking and feeling down and was in front of Natsu, feeling that he cannot go together with him to where Natsu will be off to.
"I guess I won't be coming with you today Natsu." He said with his head still down.
Natsu moved closer to Happy and patted his best partner. "Don't sweat it Happy. I'll be okay in finding Igneel alone. Say I'll bring you back some fish after I finished my search. I'll do my best to find him but in the mean time, you have to do your best for Wendy got it?"
Happy's spirit lightened a bit and smiled at his best friend. "Aye!" giving him a pat on the head by Natsu.
Wendy glanced to Natsu seeing him cheering his best friend up. She must admit that it's pretty sad for Happy to separate with Natsu. They were a great team even they're just the two of them. She somehow felt bad about having Happy to come with her. She knew the first time how much Happy is attached to Natsu. It made her smile a bit. She continued to stare at the duo before Natsu separates with his partner and goes into a corner where he is packing something he had taken from their house earlier.
"Natsu's going from another job?" Wendy asked to Mirajane as she continues to stare at him packing up in the corner. Mirajane glanced also to where Natsu is. It took only a few seconds for Mirajane to know what was Natsu doing before returning her gaze to Wendy.
"Ahh yes. Well it's more like a routine mission than a job." Mirajane replied to her with a smiling expression.
"How come? What was his routine mission?" Wendy asked with a curious look.
"That is-" she stopped in mid sentence when Macao called for a drink, excusing herself from Wendy for a bit which she gave the mug quickly to him before going back to Wendy.
"You were saying?" Wendy continued.
"That is finding his foster father." Mirajane smiled at the bluenette.
"Really?" Wendy asked for confirmation of what she heard to Mirajane only to give a nod.
"He's been searching over Fiore looking for his father with Happy when he had the time after taking jobs. Only this time he will be going alone to find him because Happy is not available at the moment." Mirajane frowned as they saw Natsu packing up his things for his departure.
"Where is he going to start searching?" Wendy asked her again.
"I don't know Wendy. I heard that Natsu is searching from town to town finding rumors of a dragon. Even if it's an rumor or a witness that can be related to a dragon, he will surely take that slightest information just to get to his father. Even he still has no leads he takes his time with Happy but only this time he's going alone which can be bad." Mirajane thinking about the destruction Natsu will cause. She sweatdropped at the thought. "But knowing Natsu, he'll be fine." She giggled afterwards knowing how Natsu cares about finding his foster father. It was just cute for him that he had that kind of personality.
Wendy just stared at Natsu seeing how he probably trying his best to find Igneel. Even for an idiot like him that she heard from her new guildmates, Natsu to her is a kind-hearted and hardworking person. She blushed slightly at the thought but hid it from Mirajane before looking at him again.
"He's been searching for him many times yet he still got nothing. But he still kept going." Wendy thought while watching Natsu interrupted by Gray while packing his things which caused another brawl from the guild. The familiar insults again filled the room with everyone not caring at all as it was a fact of life in the guild.
"Stop bugging me Ice Prick!"
"You said something Flame Brain?!"
"You heard me! Stripping clown!"
"Who you calling clown Flame-breath? You wanna go for a fight?"
"Bring it Popsicle Stick" Both Natsu and Gray readied their fist and began to fight once again. It should be the fifth time in this day and Natsu seemed to forget what he was doing earlier. Instead, the only the two mattered right now is defeating their rival.
"YOU TWO CUT IT OUT!"
"YES" Natsu and Gray said in unison as Erza stepped in their fight with a tremendous aura coming out of her sending shivers to the two. Wendy chuckled as Natsu and Gray are fighting, shouting and butting their heads together and also when Erza stepped in and stopped the two. Another day in Fairy Tail is about to end.
"I wonder what Grandine is doing right now." Wendy thought while looking up to the ceiling of the guild hall. I wonder if Natsu feels the same the way he has for Igneel like me to Grandine.
"Mira may I change my job request." Wendy turned to Mirajane having to clean the cups.
"It's ok but are you sure? If you're still not ready for the missions outside Magnolia then I help you with the other job requests which you find best." Mirajane replied while showing her again to the job request board.
"No, not really. I-I just want to help Natsu find his foster dragon." Wendy said to Mirajane trying to sound straight.
"Is that so?" Mirajane pondered in thought then realizing something. "Wait. Do you want to accompany Natsu in his search?" Mirajane asked her. Wendy managed to nod shyly.
But Mirajane realized another thing. She smiled and leaned close to Wendy and whispered "Could it be that you like Natsu?" She asked enough for Wendy's face to rise up and stuttered at the bartender.
"T-that's not it Mira. W-Where did you get that idea? I-If I come along with him I could also find clues from my mother. Y-yeah." Wendy replied to excuse herself. She just learned that Mirajane has some sorts of things related to romance and such. She should be careful from now on.
"Oh I forgot about that, you're a dragonslayer too so you were raised by a dragon." Mirajane realized a thought that Wendy is a dragonslayer like Natsu. Even with that fact, Mirajane somehow she uncovered some of Wendy's secrets. But it can wait, she might be assuming.
"Well if that's what you want I could tell the Master about it, but will you be alright? I mean Natsu always gets himself to trouble and destroys everything he goes. Do you want someone to come with you?" Mirajane asked her with a slight worried expression.
"It's okay Mira-san. I can take care of myself besides Natsu-san will look after me." Wendy smiled at the Take-Over mage
"Well that's settled. Be careful on your travel and if by chance, try to limit his destruction." She whispered for reminder to Wendy.
Wendy sweatdropped but understands what she said.
"Thank you Mira." Wendy said with a smile on her face.
"Oh and you better hurry up if you don't want Natsu leaving you behind." Mirajane pointing at Natsu leaving the guild hall.
"Eh?" Wendy said before realizing Natsu is departing. "Thanks again Mira-san." bowing to the demon-user before running up to Natsu with her luggage hoping to catch up to him.
"Good luck Wendy!" Mirajane waved her hand to the blue-haired mage as she runs outside and disappears from view. While staring at the open doors of the guild hall, Lucy and Charle went over to the bar and asked Mirajane about Wendy.
"Did Wendy already depart to her job request?" Lucy said. She wasn't aware about the situation earlier because she was preoccupied talking and chatting with the other guildmates.
"No, she declined the job request. Instead, she went together with Natsu to find some clues for their foster dragons." Mirajane smiled
. . . . . "Eh?" It took Lucy a five seconds what Mirajane said to her.
"Oh but don't worry Lucy-san, Natsu will look after her. After all, this is her first big job."
