"Natsu! That's disgusting there is food flying everywhere!" Lucy whined. Food was in fact being sent flying in every direction, so much in fact that it's questionable if any is actually being consumed by the hungry Fire Dragon Slayer. Sting was eating almost as barbarically, which left both Lucy and Rogue speechless. If they weren't starving themselves they would've lost their appetites right there and then. The exceeds were sitting on the bed trying to avoid the splash zone.

"What?" he mumbled through a mouthful, except it sounded more like a "Wuyt".

"Don't talk with your mouthful!" she sighed "You're not a toddler!".

"Is it just me or does it feel like i'm babysitting..." she muttered to herself but Rogue overheard her.

"Sadly, yea-" he was interrupted by a pillow from Sting being chucked at him and hitting him square in the face. "Oww!" he chucked one back and the room erupted into chaos. There were pillows being chucked from all over, even the Exceeds joined in.

"Why do I even bothe-" at this moment, the Dragon Slayers knew they made a grave mistake. Stuck to Lucy's face was a pillow, a pillow one of them, specifically Natsu, threw. "Ehh emm-" Lucy began with a smile, but quickly shifted to a demonic glare, "Which one of you idiots threw this at me!?" she roared.

The room previously in chaos was practically silent as the inhabitants, with the exception of Lucy, were sweating profusely. "HE DID IT!" The two cats and their partners screamed as they pointed at Natsu.

"N-no it's not what you think Luce-" he began but was cut off.

"" she yelled while slicing a golden key through the air. With a flash of light and smoke the spirit in question was summoned.

"Is it time for punishment, princess?" The spirit asked.

"For once, yes, punish him" she says while pointing at Natsu.

"N-no please Virgo-" after a few seconds the Fire Dragon Slayer ended up lying on the ground, with his hands behind his back and was very dazed, as to what just happened it's hard to say. The 'twins'stared at him with sorrowful eyes, then at spirit, and Lucy with fear. After a few seconds the dazed wizard says through the pain "I don't know who's scarier, Virgo and Lucy, or Erza.". After a moment of silence the Fairy Tail members shutter and in unison say "Definitely Erza...".

"Erzas the woman with red hair, right?" Rogue asked.

"Yea, the one who took out all one hundred monsters in the Pandemonium event." Lucy replies triumphantly.

"And she beat Kagura, and Minerva in the final battle royal..." Natsu managed to squeeze in before being interrupted by the Twin Dragons.

"She beat both of them!?" they asked in unison, with jaws hanging low.

"Yep, she's really strong" she responded.

"And scary!" Natsu added

~~~~<>With Erza<>~~~~

Sitting at the bar a certain redhead was talking with the bartender, "This cake is delicou-" *Sneeze*.

"You okay Erza?" Wendy asks.

"Yes thank you Wendy, it was just a sneeze, I think somebody must be talking about my wonderful acting" She said with stars in her eyes. "Oh the joys of show business!".

The guild erupted in laughs and a few people, including resident alcoholic Cana, failed to hold down their liquor.

"Okay-" Wendy replied then backed away.

<>Back at the Infirmary, 30 minutes later<>

"Uhh- Im so full" Lucy moaned, she ate 3 boxes of food, almost enough for her to wonder if Happy was right and that she was gaining weight. As she attempted to get up she kept falling over, everyone was laughing at the sad attempts to stand. Well almost everyone, Natsu was, once again, deep in thought. It took him a minute to realize he was being talked to. "Natsu.. Natsu. Earthland to Natsu." He nodded to indicate he was listening as Lucy spoke. "Are you gonna answer Lectors question?" he nodded again, not wanting to anger the blond.

"Err- umm, what's the question Lector?" his face said he was listening but his eyes told a different story.

"Ohh, I was just wondering what you did that made you into a dragon" He wasn't the only one who asked.

"Now that it's been mentioned I've kinda been wondering the same thing." Sting chimed in.

"I mean I've seen takeovers but nothing to that magnitude and not one that increases magic power by that much." Rogue added.

"Ooh- Err, well it's called Royal Dragon Soul so I'm guessing that's a good place to start." he began nervously. "It's not a take over, even though it uses the word soul like "Satan's Soul". It's entirely Dragon Slayer Magic. The strongest of each element can learn it. So the strongest Fire, Air, Water if that's a thing, etcetera Dragon Slayer can. Since we're the only one's in existence for our elements we can use it no problem. Igneel told me in ancient times they'd have tournaments in a big arena to find the strongest and they would be the King or Queen. It wasn't this stadium, i'm guessing that one is long gone but i thought it'd be fun. Grandeeny tried to teach Wendy, the Sky Dragon Slayer, but she never finished before she disappeared on July 7th years ago... and Metalicana refused to teach Gajeel and never brought it up. I'm guessing you were either too little or they just ran out of time to teach you." his face was red from forgetting to breath during his explanation. "Did that make sense?"

"As much a-" Lucy began but realized this explanation wasn't exactly for her and that she could always ask questions later. So she just nodded instead.

"Umm... kinda?" the twins frowned and were lost deep in thought.

"I think it's cool!" Lector says while staring at Natsu with stars in his eyes.

"Fro thinks so too!" Frosch yells.

Suddenly Lucy, Happy would say such an event was a miracle, had an idea. With wide eyes she exclaimed "I know, I know!"

"Hmm?" the five others asked.

"You four should join Fairy Tail!" She said while pointing at the Twins and their partners, the exceeds were a little flattered that she considered them as members instead of pets. "Then Natsu and the others can teach you, and it'll solve your work issue!"

Natsu's eyes flash with surprise, he was planning on asking them that. "Yeah! It'll be awesome having another two dragon slayers in the guild!".

Rogue was surprised by the outburst, but before he could get a word in Sting spoke up. "That'd be cool but I doubt we can take on another S class wizard from your guild like Natsu to join...".

"Huh?" Natsu and Lucy look at each other. "I'm/Natsu's not a S class wizard.". This surprised the twins.

"Ohh then we definitely don't want to fight whatever monsters you have in your guild that are S class, even if it meant joining" Sting said with a hint of fear.

"What are you talking about 'Fight a S class wizard to join'?" Lucy asked, looking dumbfounded.

"To join a guild don't you need to pass some kind of trial like beat or fight a S class wizard... we both had to fight a S class wizard to join Sabertooth. Figured all guilds were like that." Rogue said while looking at Frosch across the room, avoiding the eyes of the two wizards on the beds opposite theirs.

"Well that's just stupid" Natsu said bluntly, "We dont have any trials to join the guild. Anyone I've ever seen join Fairy Tail just showed up and they were allowed to join as long as they were a wizard. And wanted to, of course". This took the Twins by surprise.

'The strongest guild in Fiore just lets anyone who shows up at their doorstep join, if they want?'. Their shock and confusion was written all over their faces and was recognized by Lucy.

"Yea, I spent months trying to figure out what I had to do to join and it turned out I didn't need to do anything besides show up." she laughed, "I would've probably ended up being too nervous to show up if it wasn't for him," she points at her fiery companion "dragging me from Hargeon... after getting the army to chase us after he burnt down half the dang port!". Everyone laughed.

"Hmm, it's a generous offer but I don-" Rogue began but was interrupted by Frosch pulling on his pants.

"Come on Rogue, Fro thinks it would be fun!" the cheerful cat whined while tugging on his partner.

"Yeah!" The other cat exclaimed, "I want to go on adventures like they do! Maybe one day I can go to Edolas and see where I come from!". The small cat looked like it was ready to beg, and beg it did.

"Err that isla-" Lucy smacks a hand across Natsu's mouth. Stopping him from breaking the news that his homeland crashed into the ground after they stole all of their magic.

"Yeah maybe!" Lucy said with a cheerful voice the opposite of Natsu's.

"Well I mean I doubt your guild would be happy having us two in your guild, we were you enemies..." Sting said with a hint of disappointment.

"Doubt it!" The Fire breather declared. "We let Gajeel join after he destroyed our guildhall, plus those were just game's. It's not like we were actually enemies, just opponents, maybe rivals." Natsu said with one of his wide and famous grins.

"Yeah!" Lucy agreed "I mean maybe Minerva, I still don't like her after what she did to me on the fourth day during the event, or Miliana during the Royal. But that's another story entirely. Everyone would, no doubt, love to have two more powerful wizards, and two adorable exceeds join the guild." Sting blushed a little at being called powerful by the celestial wizard, who was in his opinion really strong.

"Frosch? Are you sure?"

"Lector? You're positive you want to join Fairy Tail?" The two ask their respective partners.

"Yea!" The two yell in tandem.

"Okay then, I guess we'll join Fairy Tail, if your guild agrees." Rogue attempts to bow but hisses in pain from one of his wounds being stretched and agitated.

"Yes!" Natsu yells in triumph. "I can't wait to see the master's face when he hears!"

~~~~<>With the Master<>~~~~

*Master Shivers*

"Something wrong sixth master?" Mavis asked worriedly.

"No, it was nothing really. I just had a weird sense of foreboding doom and destruction." He replied. "Did that ever happen to you?" He asks while turning around to face the ghost of their first master.

"All the time..." they both sigh then take a long drink. "All. The. Time." she mumbled once more before downing an entire barrel like Cana.

~~~~<>Streets of Crocus<>~~~~

"Natsu, slow down!" Lucy yelled from about half a block behind Natsu with Sting and Rogue. "You realize these two are hurt right!? If you're gonna insist they come and see the guild then at least wait!" she yells. "I think he's more excited then the two of you and you're the ones joining. You haven't said much since we left, everything okay?" she asks with concern in her eyes which showed it was sincere.

"Nah, i'm just a bit scared i'll make that girl that beat the wizard saint on the MPF mad..." Sting mumbles, obviously embarrassed.

"Yea! Why isn't she a wizard saint if she's stronger then one!" Lector asks.

"First, don't worry about Cana, she's always too drunk to notice much. And second, after the grand magic games she was offered the position, she almost took it if it wasn't for the first master forbidding it... Woulda been funny if they announced it then realized that Fairy Glitter is technically the only spell she knows that's that powerful." Lucy explained.

"Fairy Glitter? I've never heard of such a spell..." Rogue wonders outloud.

"Ah, it's one of the three Grand Fairy Spells, the First Master made them when she was still alive. You'll hear about them when you join, I don't know much except the names, and a bit of personal experience. The reason we went missing on Tenrou was because of Fairy Sphere, it's an Absolute protection spell that can stop even Acnologia's roar and time itself. And Fairy Law which... Well all I know is it's a blinding light that targets enemies and leaves allies unharmed." she finishes.

"That's so cool!" Lector exclaims while jumping up and down.

"Yea, Sabertooth didn't have anything like that! It sounds like your first master was a powerful dude!" Sting continues.

"Doubt you should be calling someone like Fairy Tail's first master dude..." Rogue mumbles.

"He's dead not like he can hear us!" Sting argues.

"Well... She is dead, but she can definitely hear you." Lucy laughs, after getting questionable looks from the four she continues "You'll see what I mean once you join.". She smiled making Sting and Rogue a bit nervous.

After a bit more walking and chatting they finally reach the Tavern where they, assume, the guild is still partying. It seems as from the loud noises and talking from inside that the party's still going strong. After the six enter the tavern they go relatively unnoticed, until a certain fire breather yells. "Master!" This got everyone's attention and a few confused glances as to the two, now ex, Sabertooth members' presence there.

The Sixth Master sits up from his spot on the floor, a bit confused as to what's going on, and the reason why he was awakened from his slumber. "W-what *hick* do you want, Natsu *hick*" he squeezes out through his drunken daze.

"I've brought some new members!" He says with one of his grins that goes from ear to ear. There was a deep intake of breath from the members watching the scene.

Master takes a peak behind him, and goes wide eyed. After a few seconds he gets one of his 'I'm planning something' faces. He turns to face away and whispers to himself "If they join the guild we'll have fiv- err- six dragon slayers. Wait till I shove this in the other's faces!", mostly everyone heard him, he was too drunk to properly whisper, and everyone but the four new members and Lauxs sighed, the Lightning Dragon Slayer was insulted that the Master, his grandfather, almost forgot to count him. He turns back to the guild and exclaims "Of course! Mira get the stamp!". A long silence followed the Master's answer.

'Maybe they don't want us here' Sting thought to himself.

'This wasn't the reaction I was hoping for, maybe we should le-' Rogue's thoughts were quickly cut off as the guild around them roared in approval and excitement.

After being shoved to the bar, a woman who they recognized as Mira asked "Where do you want your marks?". Sting got his on his left shoulder in white, Rogue got his on the same spot but in Black. Both exceeds got theirs on their backs.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!" Mira says to them with a smile before the guild roars again, surprisingly not totally deafening them.
