"ughh.. are we there yet?" a pink-haired dragon slayer whined, "we've only just departed." a blonde celestial wizard replied with a soft sigh, "if only wendy was here!.." he mumbled, "wendy and Carla went on another job again, I'm very proud of those two!" Erza said happily looking proud, "Wendy is getting strong which is amazing!" Lucy exclaimed, "aye! and Carla too! she's just as amazing!" happy said jumping happily, "Gray my darling why are you so quiet?" the water wizard spoke up, "oh um, I'm sorry something was just on my mind." he replied with a small smile.
( TIME SKIP!! 2 HOURS )
In the town moon-bright, magnolia. the gang has finally arrived. "aah! finally were off the road!" the pink haired said excitedly, "hm.. where do you think we should start looking for that time wizard?" Erza looked around the town, it was filled with beautiful townsfolk, a glorious fountain was in the middle of the town, it had beautiful carvings on the sides and what looked like a statue of a lady in the middle holding a bowl that was inserting water in the fountain.
a voice from behind spoke up, "oh, hello! are you new here?" it was a lady with long brown hair and a braid on her shoulder, "yes we are, we're looking for a certain time wizard, we were hired to look for them." Erza replied to her, "Time wizard?" she looked at the armored lady confusedly, "I don't know who you are talking about, and I don't think we've hired anyone from a wizard guild to look for a 'certain time wizard'. " she looked at the 6 of them in confusion, "huh? that's impossible! I have the poster about the job right here!" the blonde girl looked inside her bag, "here see!”
[ Hunt down: Time wizard. REWARD: 300,000 jewel Area: Moon-bright town ]
"hmm.. this does look quite real, but I don't remember anyone putting a job offer to any wizard guild, what's your guild name? maybe I can remember." she exclaimed while reading the poster, "It's fairy tail!" the blonde replied to her, "fairy tail? isn't that the new guild in magnolia?"
“HUH?” The group shouted in confusion, “I’ve heard they saved magnolia from that evil guild.” she said, “what do you mean new? The guild has been created a long time ago!” Natsu shouted from behind, “what? It was only made a few weeks ago, I don’t know where you folks are from to think that was a long time.” she sighed.
“What is going on here??” The pink haired shouted in confusion, “juvia is confused..” she replied, “wait.. what year is it? miss- uh..” Lucy looked at the brown-haired lady and asked, “it’s annalyn, and it’s the year X686.” she replied to the blonde-haired girl.
“HUHH??” They shouted, “this is not funny! Tell us what year it is!” Natsu said, “you folks are crazy, you can ask anyone else here if you want.” she sighed once again and walked away.
“Hey come back here!!” The fire dragon slayer shouted at her, “Natsu calm down, we need to know what’s going on here.” Erza replied, “Hmm.. juvia thinks we should do what she said and ask the other people, on what’s going on here!” Juvia suggested, “well, that’s the only thing we can do right now, let’s split up and meet back here when the sun is down.” Erza exclaimed.
“Alright!” They all shouted and ran to different areas of the town.
Erza went to the west area, Natsu and Lucy went to the middle site, while gray and juvia were about to go to the east area, gray saw something in the corner of his eye.
a certain black shadow that looked like “it” was listening to the entire conversation they had with annalyn, as he was about to turn around it quickly ran to the middle area.
“huh?” he said, “what’s wrong gray-sama?” juvia asked him, “oh uh, sorry I thought I saw something.” he replied, “gray my darling, is something off? juvia is worried! you have been zoning out the entire time.” she said while placing her hand on his cheek, “nothing is wrong, I’m sorry I’ve been zoning out, let’s go now, okay?” he replied while slowly removing her hand from his cheek.
“If you say so, juvia trusts you!”
in the main park of moon-bright, where Natsu and lucy ended up in.
“hm, who should we ask first?” Natsu asked while looking around, “this area here looks amazing! There are so many flowers, and look over there, it looks like they’re hosting a festival!” the blonde-haired girl shouted in excitement, “looks like she’s going crazy again..” happy mumbled, “I can hear you cat!” Lucy shouted back.
the swift shadow quickly ran to the stall with flowers, once again disappearing into thin air. fortunately, a dragon slayer's nose is great. "What was that?" Natsu said in surprise, his nose caught a familiar smell. "What was what?" Lucy replied, "I smell... something." he looked around, smelling everything, the floors, the flowers, everything. "what are you talking about? I don't even smell anything.." she looked at him confused. "It was probably nothing Natsu." The blonde responded, "I swear I smelt something!" he replied.
