Chapter 3

{Time skip} Several Hours Later…

Rosa descended the stairs with a cowering Laxus Dreyer in tow!!!! Everyone just stood there with their mouths wide open & stared at Rosa in either; Awe, Fear, Amazement, or all 3!!!

Rosa paused at the bottom of the stairs; she looked around, gave everyone a friendly smile, & then she whirled around on her heel & Rosa said in a stern voice, “Now… You WILL go & make amends with my beloved little brother. You WILL tell him YOUR TRUE FeElInGs!! & you will do as I say or… Do I need to teach you another lesson~”??

Laxus’s eyes shot wide with fear & he immediately said, “NO”!!!!

Rosa cocked an eyebrow & Laxus quickly said, “N-no  Ma’am”... Laxus looked at Rosa, then at the ground to hide his embarrassment of “being scared by someone that's shorter than himself”...

Laxus looked at his uncle & asked Rosa in a shaking voice; “(clears throat), Um… Miss Rosa”... Rosa turned towards Laxus, cocked an eyebrow & said; “Yes Laxus. Is there something you need”? Rosa spoke in a sickeningly sweet voice that sent a chill up Laxus's spine. Laxus shook his head & then he spoke as politely as he possibly could. Laxus asked; “Um… Lady Rosa, Wh-What is y-your ranking? I-I mean, what Class are you”?? Rosa smiled sweetly at Laxus & then she said in a playful voice; “Why Laxie-kins~ All you had to do was look at the back of my neck, & you would've seen my Gold & Ruby colored Triple S-Class tattoo~”!! Rosa smiled, turned her back towards Laxus, lifted her hair & waited for everyone's reaction to her Class Ranking... 

Upon seeing Rosa's Ranking tattoo, Laxus's eyes went wide & he stumbled backwards out of fear; while everyone else went wide-eyed, slack-jawed, & some activated their powers out of surprise. Master Makarov looked at Rosa & nodded his head. Rosa smiled tenderly at the Fairy Tail Guild Master. Rosa let her hair slide back into place, then she walked over to the bar counter, gave her old friend a hug, & said; “It's nice to see you again, my friend”. Master Makarov hugged Rosa back & said in a caring voice; “Same to you, my child”.  Makarov pulled away from the hug, he looked Rosa once over & then he added; “I see that time has been kind to you over the years, since last we met”. Rosa blushed & said; “Oh you, old charmer. You still have that silver tongue of yours, I see”. Rosa's eyes flashed Red, then Gold, & then back to Silver. Master Makarov got the hint & he stopped teasing his friend.

Master Makarov got the feeling that they were being watched, so he turned his head & looked over at the other members of his guild & sure enough, everyone & I mean, everyone, including his nephew, Laxus, were staring at himself & Rosa with curious looks on their faces.Master Makarov looked at Rosa & he could tell that the sudden attention was bothering her, so Makarov cleared his throat & said in a booming voice; “What are all of you looking at?! Does this look like a circus act to you!?! Can't a Guild Master catchup with an old friend in peace without being stared at”!?!?!
