Two figures looked upon the beautiful and majestic opera house. One of these figures was a short woman in her late forties, she had raven long hair and crimson eyes. The other was a well tanned tall young man who had his mother's raven hair and crimson eyes. He inherited his father's untameable waving hair, his muscular tall build and unique laughter. These two figures were related by blood for they were mother and son, their names were Verona and Gajeel Redfox.

"Here we are son, the famous opera house. Worth the trip wouldn't you agree?" She looked up at her tall son who looked down at her uncertainly while maintaining his usual frown. "Now, Now Gajeel. No need to look at me like that." She scowled. As the pair looked at the beautiful architectural building Gajeel felt a strange shiver course through him, as he looked at the building's design something caught his red eyes it looked like a young woman standing at the top of the building. Their eyes met. The woman hair was sea blue and wore a black cloak and from the looks of it she wore a white mask that covered half her face, Gajeel couldn't speak it was as if he forgot to breath.

"Gajeel?"The man broke out of his trance and turned to his short mother. "Yes, Mother?" She motioned him to follow her but before he obliged he looked back to where the woman had stood to his surprise had disappeared. "Must have been my imagination" He thought dismissing the idea and followed his mother inside. The family had traveled to Paris France in hopes to start a new life, Gajeel was born and raised in the countryside, his father was a well known talented singer his name was Metalicana. Verona was the daughter of the wealthiest aristocrat and Gajeel's father had little money, barely enough to please Verona's snobbish parents who naturally refused the union. The two lovers ran away to elope so they could be together. For years they had remained undetected but the consequence was that Verona's parents cut all relations not once attempting to communicate. Despite this sadness, both of Gajeel's parents were satisfied with one another, yet their happiness was doubled when Gajeel was born.

As soon as they passed through the grand doors of the opera house, there were very few people in the grand hall but most were dressed elegantly. The looks Gajeel and his mother received was unwanted and unneeded, once Gajeel noticed this he gave them some glares of his own to ward them off. You don't belong here their eyes sneered Oh Yeah, What are you gonna do about it Gajeel's eyes sneered back. Verona who was unaware of the hostile looks she recieved smiled towards Gajeel and immediately frowned when she noticed that he was sneering at the rich folk around them. "Gajeel, stop that. You're sneering." His mother whispered "Let me sneer." She sighed annoyed knowing that he had his father's stubbornness.

Before they could walk any further a tall man appeared before them. "May I help you?" He asked obviously irritated that he had the displeasure of talking to the pair as if they were beneath him. Verona smiled sweetly and curtsied politely before she spoke of her business. "Monsieur, I have traveled here with hopes that youmay have an opening in your company's orchestra. I am an pianist who has been told that I play beautifully".

"And the man behind you?" He glared at Gajeel who glared at him back. "My son, who is a well taught singer" Verona smile grew wider, which had caused a slight blush on his cheeks. "We don't need singers. We have plenty but there maybe a place for you madam" He gestured the two to follow him to double doors that lead down a long corridor. "The managers are arranging the rehearsals for next week's opera. They are the ones you shall need to look out for. Just go through the door but I'd advise you to be extremely quiet, Laxus's wrath is something you do not want to provoke."

Verona and Gajeel looked at one another uncomfortably before entering the doors hurriedly, the longer they walked the louder the singing became. When they walked through the curtains separating the room from he long corridor Verona gasped drawing in the sight. "Wait here" His mother instructed him sternly and when his mother gave him orders sternly she would mean business when you disobey her. "HEY!" A voice suddenly spoke catching Gajeel's attention. A feminine hand grabbed his arm roughly. "What are you doing back here!?" Gajeel turned his head away when an overpowering stench of alcohol reached his sensitive nose, but her posture changed when she looked at him closer. She gave him a seductive look, something Gajeel was not comfortable about finding out. "It's best that you come with me handsome" "No Thank You" Gajeel began to twist his way out of her reach being careful not to injure her. "Come on sweetie, Cana only wants to know you better"

As Cana reached out to Gajeel again he quickly darted to the side which then caused Laki to lose her balance and when she caught hold of a scenery part it came down with her. Several dancer screams were heard soon after but none compared to the shout of the lead singer Laxus Dreyar, who was nearly knocked over. LAXUS, LAXUS A tall green haired man ran to the blonde haired man. As soon as the man tried to help the man named Laxus he pushed him away forcibly. "WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS THIS?" He shouted pointing towards the crushed backdrops while everyone else was lost for words including the managers, who looked towards Gajeel in fact everyone was. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Gajeel stood speechless. What could he say? He shouldn't be the one to apologize especially to a man like him after all he wasn't the one who caused the commotion. "Laxus asked you a question" The man who had helped the man named Laxus questioned him. "WHEN I ASK FOR YOUR HELP FREED WHICH I DON'T I'LL ASK FOR IT. NOW WHO ARE YOU!?" The man called Freed back away silently keeping his head down whilst Laxus glared at Gajeel.

"A thousand apologizes Sir, it was an accident. My son-" Verona spoke gently and calmly careful not to annoy the hostile man. "YOUR SON!" Laxus's voice roared among the theater's walls causing an echo. Verona regretted the words that left her lips. "AND WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!" A new voice spoke loudly and strictly and just like that Laxus would shut up. "LAXUS DREYAR! YOUR FATHER MAY ACCEPT THIS RUDE BEHAVIOR BUT I ON THE OTHER HAND DO NOT!" Those words were alone to keep the loud Laxus from continuing his rant alone. They must be blood related. His grandfather maybe? Gajeel thought.

"My name is Verona Redfox." She gave a polite curtsy before continuing "And This is my son Gajeel Redfox" The room gasped including Laxus as Gajeel made his way to his confused mother, all their mouths dropped. One of the managers was a young girl by the looks of 13 walked towards the pair with a smile on her face asked the question on everyone's mind. "You wouldn't happen to be related to Metalicana Redfox would you?" Verona smiled and nodded. "Our Only Child" The young girl smiled and nodded her head happily. "I DO NOT NEED MUSICAL HELP OF ANY SORT, MY TALENTS are gifts!" Laxus smart confidently. "And as for that boy, this... this tourist. I refuse to perform knowing that this clumsy-"

There wwas a loud groanand the owner of the groan rose fromthe floor and onto the stage. "CANA!" Freed exclaimed angrily. When she looked around she found herself tumbling onto the floor. "SHE'S DRUNK!" Someone from the group yelled and another spoke out to speak their mind. "She must of caused the accident. Shame on you." The brunette looked confused but Freed stepped forward and shouted "YOU DRUNK. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF THE CRIME YOU COMMITTED. YOU NEARLY KILLED LAXUS!" The cast nodded their head and shouted out their opinions on the matter. "I apologize Cana but until you can keep your alcohol to a minimum you are Fired" Cana's only responce was a discusting belch.

"So you see Sir?" Verona intervered. "It was a mistake; my son had nothing to do with it." There was nothing Laxus hated more than being proven wrong, and when he couldn't have his way was worse. "If you must hire help then so be it, but I refuse to perform with that on the same stage" Makarov and Mavis sighed and nodded knowing full well that once Laxus has his mind set on something, it is done and just like that Laxus turned and left.

"You must understand, this is a trial period Madam. We don't noraly just hire people right off the street but we are in a dire need of a musician." Verona nodded before she answered. "I understand, thank you. And my son?" The managers turned to see that the man was trying to be of use by help fixing the fallen set. "We have plenty of singers and dancers so maybe... the costume department." Verona smiled and thanked them again. "Seek Madame Strauss, she will help you get settled in. Makarov we must talk. There has been another note..."

Makarov sighed and followed Mavis to deal with their problem. "I managed to get a role in the orchestra but I could only get you a place in the costume department." Gajeel nodded quickly before Verona would start her rants of not doing a better job of looking after him. "Don't apologize, it matters more that you can play" Verona frowned she knew when Gajeel is upset or disappointed but decided not to question him. "Come, we must find this Madame Strauss, she is to help us." Gajeel nodded and followed his mother, before he did, a familiar bone chilling feeling appeared again. When Gajeel looked up there that person appeared again staring down at him, once he rubbed his eyes they were gone. It must have been my imagination he thought. There was a time where his father ould read to his younger self of mystery books whichthen made Gajeel become thought of ghosts walking this very building was rather amusing. Once again Verona called Gajeel which he hurried to her side not wanting to be lost in such a huge opera house in the very beautiful city of Paris France.
