"No need to be rude but...Who's that?" Lucy breaks the silence. Looking at the young boy, confusion lacing her features.
"Well...This is Haki. And he is going to join Fairy Tail" Laxus responds simply, looking at Freed; an eyebrow raised.
"...He is a mage. Who wants to turn his life around. He's only a kid" Freed explains causing Natsu to reply:
"Sure! New members...Sounds good to me!" Natsu grins turning to Gray. Expecting some sort of response.
Gray deadpans slightly but gives an awkward wave before walking off.
Sting and Rogue just stare at each other in slight amusement causing Lucy to sigh.
"They're all hopeless."
The guild erupts into it's usual laughter;! Freed to releases a sigh of relief, a small smile on his face.
"Thank god."
"Heh...Sure. You know how excepting Fairy Tail is" Laxus rolls his eyes, looking at Haki who was staring in amazement at the sight of the guild.
Freed looks at Haki before looking at Laxus expectantly.
"What?" Laxus questions causing Freed to nudge him.
"Haki...Take him to the master" Freed expands, pointing to the office.
"Alright...Alright" Laxus grumbles causing Freed to roll his eyes.
"A conversation with your grandpa can't be bad once in a while" Freed reasons causing Laxus to look at him.
"I know."

"Where is that Popsicle" Natsu grumbles, watching as he walks off. Sting raises an eyebrow causing Rogue to jab him in his side.
"You know what happens after the emotional stage right?" Rogue reminds causing both Natsu and Sting to pale.
"No way...That's so soon?" Sting whines. Rogue stands there for a moment, thinking.
"...Well. It might be the transition" Rogue comments. Looking at Natsu's horrified expression.
"What?" Sting asks curiously. Causing Natsu to look at him strangely.
"Imagine how that will go with Gray!"
"Didn't he find out about mating season on his own?" Rogue questions, Sting nods in agreement.
"Well...He still won't like it" Natsu huffs, crossing his arms.
"Well...I hate to break this too you but I believe you have to tell him...Before the stage starts" Rogue points out, Sting starts to laugh making the two look at him questioningly.
"Get the popcorn!"
"Really Sting?" Rogue sighs. "Stop being so inconsiderate."
"Oh come on! It will be hilarious!" Sting exclaims.
"Oh yeah? It's not funny lightbulb!" Natsu yells causing Sting to gain an irk mark.
"Sorry if you two are both oblivious and strong headed!"
"Hey!"
"Enough you two" Rogue cuts in their argument. "That won't get either of you anywhere" Rogue continues, giving a pointed look at Sting.
"He started it!" Natsu mumbles before walking off.
"Where are you going?" Sting tells, causing Natsu to turn round.
"I'm finding the ice princess" Natsu yells back, immediately regretting admitting that as Sting went into a fit of laughter.

"I get it!" Chelia exclaims closing the book. Wendy turns to her with a small smile.
"I'm guessing that you read it?" Wendy asks curiously. Chelia thinks for a moment before turning to Wendy with a smile.
"Well, I read the basics of each of the stages. Not the whole book" Chelia admits causing Wendy to giggle.
"I thought you would of read the whole thing" Wendy comments, teasingly.
"I haven't though..." Chelia trails off her eyes darting to the other side of the room nervously.
"I was joking silly!"
"Oh" Chelia states, looking at the cover of the book.
"Who else needs this book?" Chelia questions looking at Gajeel who was a few meters away. Occupied with Levy.
"...I think it's Freed" Wendy replies, looking over at Freed who was at the doorway with the young boy.
"His name is Haki right?" Wendy alas causing Chelia to nod.
"Is it fair to give it in front of him?" Wendy continues looking at the boy nervously.
Their conversation was cut short, as Laxus walking up the pair caught both of their attention.
Freed pointed towards Mira; and the little boy ran off. Leaving the two alone, the two nodded to each other. Running up to Freed and Laxus. Chelia with the book in her hand.
"Erm...Hello?" Freed greets, Laxus just stares at Wendy weirdly, causing Chelia to tilt her head to the side.
Wendy gives Chelia a nudge causing her to shake her head before holding out a book. Freed looks at it with a confused expression on his face. But shakes his confusion off and takes the book hesitantly.
"What's that about?" Laxus questions. Wendy gives a small smile before explaining.
"It's a book about dragon mating season! That way you don't have to explain if you don't want too!" Wendy exclaims happily.
"Mhm!" Chelia hums, her hands now behind her back.
Freed smiles gratefully, looking up at Laxus who seemed relieved.
"Thanks kiddo" Laxus responds causing Freed to stare at him shocked.
"What?"
"Y-You've apologized and thanked someone in the same week!" Freed stares causing Chelia and Wendy to giggle.
"God, you're right. And I'm pretty sure I've thanked someone twice" Laxus grumbles causing Freed to go even more pale.
"W-Wow."
"Yes, wow" Laxus sighs. "Stupid mating season with it's first stage" Laxus grumbles, walking away; dragging Freed with him.
"Those two are cute!" Chelia comments causing Wendy to nod in agreement.
"Yeah, they are."
