Natsu Dragneel found himself standing before a tall gate leading to a grand mansion.

“Wha? What the heck am I doing here?” Natsu asked.

There was a sharp ‘Twack’ as someone smacked Natsu’s head from behind.

“OWWW!” Natsu cried out, holding his head. He turned around angrily and found himself face to face with Erza Scarlet. Erza was dressed semi-formally in knee length skirt and a breastplate. She was wielding a folded paper fan.

“What was that for?!” Natsu asked.

“For forgetting why we are here in the first place. It’s your mess that we’re here to clean up, dumbass!”

“What are you talking about? Why are we here? Whose house is this?”

“That would be the Baron Laroux Pomnickel, the richest man in all of Fiore,” someone answered to Natsu’s right.

Natsu yelped and leapt to face the voice. Standing right beside him was a tall man with short hair, wearing silver-rimmed glasses and dressed in long grey robes. The front and back of his robe was emblazoned with a symbol of an eye with a spiral pattern on the iris.

“Who are you? Have you been standing here the whole time?” Natsu asked.

“Quite,” the bespectacled man replied, “My name is Enzo. I am merely a messenger. I’ve brought you here to answer the Baron’s summons.”

“Oh, I see. Is this a guild request? Is the Baron a client?”

“Please enter,” Enzo said, “And follow me to the meeting room.”

The gates parted, seemingly by themselves. Natsu sighed and started trudging after Enzo who had stepped through the gates. Erza followed them closely from behind.

Enzo led the two mages into the mansion. They went straight up the stairs and was ushered by servants into a big room in the west wing.

The room was in fact a huge bedroom. There was an enormous bed against the wall on one end and a spacious sitting area by a fireplace on the other end of the room. Enzo led Natsu and Erza to the sitting area where they found Wendy Marvell and Mavis Vermillion, the guildmaster of Fairy tail seated on a long couch facing the fireplace. On another couch, sat a pudgy and short young man in an ugly floral robe. They seemed to be having tea.

“Ahhhhhhhh! I know you!” Natsu bellowed, pointing at the fat kid.

“Twack!” Erza angrily smacked Natsu on his head again.

“Please sit down, sir Natsu,” Enzo said.

Natsu and Erza took the couch opposite the chubby dude. Natsu can’t help but to glare at him.

“I… do apologize for his uncouth behaviour, Lord Donny,” Mavis said.

“Hrmph,” the fatso snorted. “Well it’s definitely him alright. That’s the brute that attacked me in the marketplace.”

“He was harassing Lucy!” Natsu said.

“I did no such thing, you uncivilized goon!” Donny replied. “I merely complimented her taste in clothing.”

“He was touching her!”

“An innocent faux pass. Merely a brush against the back of my hand.”

Mavis sighed, “Natsu, Lord Donny here is the son of the Baron Pomnickel. They are upstanding members of nobility in these parts and it would be good for Fairy Tail to maintain an amicable relationship with his family.”

“B-but…” Natsu said.

“Lord Donny, if I may,” Erza said, “Natsu is under my command and I take full responsibility for his outburst. Please find it in your heart to forgive us.”

Donny sighed. “Oh very well. I am well aware of Fairy Tail’s noble accomplishments to date. To be honest, I’ve even fancied joining your guild back in the day.”

“Truly?” Wendy asked.

“Yes, my dear. It remains still on my bucket list till this day,” Donny replied.

Mavis clasped her hands together. “That settles it. Lord Donny, won’t you do Fairy Tail the honor of having you as our esteemed member?”

“Guildmaster!” Natsu exclaimed, “Is he even a mage?”

Donny sniffed. “Well, I may not be able to shoot sparks or burp flame, sir Natsu, but believe me, I do have my own talents.”

Enzo, the lanky bespectacled man who had been standing in the background cleared his throat. “Master Donny, perhaps our guests would appreciate a little demonstration of your… talents.”

Wendy clapped her hands. “Oh yes please. Do show us.”

Mavis looked equally thrilled. “We would love a demonstration.”

Even Erza looked intrigued. “It would be an honor,” she said.

Natsu felt something was off. The girls weren’t acting like themselves at all. He frowned at Donny.

“Oh very well,” Donny said. “Behold, my magic spear!”

With those words, Donny the Baron’s son parted his ugly floral robe.
