Fight Challenge

I yawned as I slipped my black tank top over my head. I put on my black shorts and exited the bathroom. I was so glad to be out of that bikini, I couldn't even express it in words. I was so tired that I barely noticed the people in my hotel room. I glanced over and blinked.

Erza...Gray...Juvia? (When did she get here?!)...Lucy...Wendy...Levy...

Gajeel...the Exceeds... and Natsu....

Ha... I shrieked and grabbed the first thing that I touched. A pillow. I chucked it and it hit Gajeel right in the face. That caused Natsu to roar with laughter as he pointed to Gajeel's very pissed off expression.

This was the start of our Pillow Fight. I took cover when Gajeel picked up the same pillow and launched it toward Natsu. Natsu ducked and he was still laughing.

The pillow hit Gray and the force made him fall back. I laughed and began to crawl to safety. Gray sat up and grabbed a pillow on the couch beside him. He threw it at Natsu and it hit home.

Headshot.

Natsu's face turned red as he stood up. Gray was right behind him along with Gajeel.

Oh no...

All three boys ran to grab as many pillows as they could. Erza suddenly stood up before they could start an all out war. "Alright, that is quite-" A pillow nailed her in the face. All of us began to sweat drop as we looked over at the culprit.

Little Happy still had his paw extended. "Oops...I was aiming for Nat-zu..." He whispered out. "Happy!" We all yelled.

"Traitor!" Natsu yelled as he threw a pillow at his partner. Happy got hit and he fell on his back with the pillow still on him.

"K.O." I muttered. I slowly looked back at Erza and I choked on the air itself. She looked ready to kill. A vein was about to burst on her forehead. This was sooo not going to go over well. Erza slowly bent down and picked up a fluffy pillow.

"If its war you want," Her eyes flashed to all of us, "Then its war you shall receive." She threw the pillow so hard that it caught on fire.

It hit Natsu and he flew back. He landed on his back and laid there a moment. Then he sat up and smirked. He picked up another pillow and an all out war started. I yelped and dived behind the couch. I peeked out and barely dodged a pillow.

I looked out again and saw Lucy and Wendy cowering behind a small desk. Where was Levy? I looked over the couch and my eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw Levy laughing and throwing pillows. I chuckled disbelievingly. Sweet Levy was joining in on the war. I shrugged my shoulders, very well then.

I jumped over the couch and grabbed a pillow as it came for me. I did a backflip and chucked the pillow. It hit Pantherlily in the head and he fell onto his back. "So...weak..." I heard him mutter before he blacked out. I laughed as I dodged a killer pillow.

I picked up a white pillow and let it fly. I didn't see who it hit because I had to dodge yet another pillow. I did a somersault and landed on my feet. A pillow was coming at me and I caught it before it connected with my face.

I launched it back and grabbed another pillow. I threw that one in the air and kicked out. My foot slammed into the pillow and I sent it flying. I heard a 'ack' and then a thump as a body hit the floor.

A pillow went flying in midair and my eyes locked on it. I kicked off the ground and did a spinning kick. I hit the pillow with the side of my foot and sent it crashing back down. I landed on my feet and looked around me.

Everyone...was out cold. Except for Juvia who was pretending so she could stay draped over Gray and of course Erza, who was shaking her head at them all.

"Uh, perhaps I over did it." I muttered as I scratched the back of my head.

I picked up my glass and sipped as I watched Mirajane say hello to everyone. How did she do it? How did she always keep that bright smile and say hello to everyone? I could never do what she did everyday. I chuckled and put my drink down. My Guild Mates and I had gotten back from the Beach Resort about three days ago.

We had to come back early because it appeared that we had disturbed some guests...and nearly brought down my hotel room. That was one epic pillow fight though.

As soon as we had gotten back, Natsu and I had made copies of that photo. I smiled as I took another sip of my drink. The picture was now hanging on my wall at home. That was a memory that I would like to keep.

I was about to relax when I sensed powerful magic. My back went straight and I slowly looked toward the door. My hand shot to my necklace when the Guild's double doors opened.

Standing in the massive door way were four people. To the right was a pretty brown haired woman with glasses. She was wearing a green dress and...were those wings on the back? My eyes moved on to the man on the left. He had waist length light green hair and his hand was on his sword that was at his waist. In the back was another man, who's face was covered by a cloth that had vertical white stripes on it. A metal visor shielded his face from view. What really struck me as odd about him, was the fact that his tongue was hanging from his mouth.

My gaze shifted to the person in the middle of the group. The last man was very tall and muscular. His blond hair was slicked back with pointy strands pointing backwards. The thing that really caught my attention was the lightning bolt-shaped scar that shot down his right eye. I narrowed my eyes at him. The magic power that was radiating off him was tremendous.

"That's Laxus and his body guards." Mira Jane said from behind me. I didn't take my eyes off of them, "Laxus is the blond guy in the middle?" It really wasn't a question. Mira made a small noise of confirmation, "The green haired guy is Freed. The girl is Evergreen. The other boy in the back is called Bickslow." Mira told me. I nodded slightly, "What magic does Laxus use?"

Mira paused for a second, "He is an second generation Dragon Slayer. He uses lightning." I huffed out a breath, so, we had four Dragon Slayers in Fairy Tail. Oh, yay, I really liked it here. "How come I haven't seen him here before?" I asked while I studied him.

"He's been on a long Job." Mira answered brightly. "How long?"

"He's back earlier than I imagined he would be. That request was supposed to take him up to two years to complete." My eyes widened. "It only took him four and a half months to complete it, it seems." Mira finished. I took a breath, Laxus, you have peeked my interest...

I hopped off my stool as everyone in the Guild turned to Laxus and his group to greet them. I turned to Mira, "Mira, who is Laxus?" Mira smiled, "He used to be an S-Class Wizard. Then he...did something bad...he got kicked out for a while. But he proved himself and he's back home. He's the Master's Grandson."

I clicked my tongue. That explained his powerful magic, he was related to Gramps. "Thanks, Mira." I said while making my way toward Laxus. Before I could reach him the Guild's doors banged open. That could only mean one person. "Natsu Dragneel." Laxus muttered with a smirk.

Laxus looked over his shoulder with a bored look on his face. "This should be good." I heard Gajeel mutter from where he sat with Levy. Natsu strolled into the Guild with his scarf fluttering behind him. With a smile he pointed to Laxus. "Oi, Laxus, I heard that you were coming back." Natsu pounded his fist into the palm of his hand, "I've been waiting for a rematch with you. Fight me!" I looked at Natsu in shock. Didn't he even realize the power that Laxus possessed?

A chair scraped across the floor that drew most of our gazes. Gajeel had stood up and was looking at Laxus with a smile. "If Salamander is going to take you on..." Gajeel shrugged and cracked his knuckles, "Than I will, too." I let out a breath of amazement.

These two boys were crazy. "Gajeel! Get lost! This is my fight!" Natsu yelled at the Iron Dragon Slayer. "What did you say, Salamander?!" Gajeel shot back. Before this could get anymore out of hand, I stepped forward. With a hand on my hip I chuckled. "Three Dragon Slayers battling one another."

Natsu and Gajeel stopped bickering with each other and looked over at me. Laxus looked at me with the same bored expression still on his face. "Who are you?" Laxus asked with a bored tone of voice. I smiled, "My names Freya," I spread my arms, "and I want to fight you and the two Dragon Slayers." Laxus's eyes flashed as he studied me.

The woman, Evergreen, lifted her fingers to her mouth, and laughed softly. "Honey, you're way to young and not near as skilled to be challenging, Laxus." The words had barely left her mouth, before I was in her face. Evergreen's eyes widened and she took a step back. "What was that, Evergreen?" I took a threatening step forward.

Quicker than she could track my hand shot out and grabbed her glasses. There were screams of no!, that echoed throughout the Guild. I crushed her glasses in my hand. "Evergreen, a Caster Mage, who also uses Stone Eyes." I murmured to her shocked looking face.

I took another step closer and looked straight into her eyes. "Don't ever underestimate me." I whispered so only she could hear. I dropped her broken glasses and they clattered when they struck the ground. I turned slowly and glanced at Laxus. I had made an impression with him.

He no longer looked bored. Far from it in fact. Good. Laxus looked me in the eyes and smirked. "I'll take you and the Dragon Slayers up on that challenge." I nodded, "There is a festival coming up, lets fight there." I said with a blank face. Laxus barely nodded. He turned, his jacket flying behind him, and started to make his way out of the Guild.

Without a backwards glance he was gone, along with his group. Before they were lost from view, Evergreen turned her head to look back at me, she had a new set of glasses on. No hard feelings, Ever, I thought with a smirk. See you at the festival, Laxus Dreyar.
