"I don't understand what you're so mad about," the black-haired teen grumbled, rubbing the back of his head with one hand and averting his gaze from the middle-aged, bearded man in front of him. "I'm not mad! I'm furious!" the man responded with a gruff voice, stomping his foot for emphasis. "When we asked for Fairy Tail wizards, we didn't expect you two harbingers to show up! Look what you did!" The older man pointed to the left.

Caleb's gaze followed his hand and he turned his head to look at the destroyed building. It appeared to have been a shop of some kind, but now a massive boulder was occupying more space than the shop itself. And, of course, his twin sister Caitlyn was sitting patiently on top of the boulder. "I see your point, but look at what I also did," Caleb retorted with a grin, kicking a seemingly unresponsive man that was already sprawled at his feet. Upon being lightly kicked, he let out a groan of pain. "Knocked him out and caught him, I did. The store was just... uh... what's the word that Alicia uses..." At this point, the fuming man exploded again. "You did more damage than everything that thief stole!"

Caleb looked up to Caitlyn on the rock, who was clearly smiling like she was enjoying herself. Upon making eye contact, she merely shrugged. With a sigh, Caleb looked back at the man. "Sorry the building got crushed. But we did the job we came to do. It's not like you would send a request to Fairy Tail without knowing there would be a risk of something like this happening," Caleb apologized, mostly. He crossed his arms and turned around, which in turn caused Caitlyn to jump down from the boulder and land next to him. "Where do you delinquents think you're going? You need to get this rock off my shop!" The twins stopped and looked at each other, both sporting a grin.

With no warning, the two of them sprung into action. Caleb jumped toward the rock while Caitlyn jumped into the air. A large rock formed around Caleb's fist as he brought it forward into the rock, causing large cracks to appear across the surface. As soon as he finished his attack he jumped out of the way, allowing his sister a clear shot at the weakened boulder. Caitlyn brought her hands together in a clap, sending a swirling blast of air into the boulder. This did the trick and the once-massive stone shattered into many tiny pieces. As the bits of stone sprayed across the block, getting even more attention from passerby than the whole scene already had, what remained of the shop after being crushed by the boulder was now also blown to bits. It was simply a pile of rubble now.

As Caitlyn landed on the ground next to her brother, the shopkeep simply looked at his former shop with a stunned expression. "There, we got rid of the rock," Caleb said, complimented by his sister giving the man a thumbs-up. There was a moment of awkward silence before the rage visibly began to return to the man before them. He began to let out a shout of primal rage, before pointing at the twins. "You brats will pay for this!" he shouted. Caleb made a simple wave of his hand, almost like he was dismissing that idea entirely. "Whatever. We're going to go get our reward from the mayor now." As Caitlyn began to wave goodbye to the man, the twins turned around to see the mayor had actually left the town hall and came to the commotion.

"Can't believe they wouldn't pay us," Caleb grumbled, sitting across from Caitlyn in their booth. He had his arms crossed in a comically irritated manner, but Caitlyn was more focused on looking out the window. She raised her left hand and held the palm up, giving a light sweeping motion out with it before placing it on her lap again. "Yeah, I guess it wasn't really a surprise but still. We should've gotten something from it. The guy punched me in the face. I deserve some kind of compensation for my pain and suffering." Now Caitlyn's gaze went to her brother, an irritated and sarcastic glare in her eyes. After staring him down for a moment, she let out a sigh and shook her head. "Whatever. Jokes on them. The mission reward won't cover those repairs anyways. Let's just not tell Alicia or Pollux about this. And definitely not Mary. So don't say a word about it." As Caleb began snickering at his own joke, Caitlyn's left leg shot out, connecting directly into his left shin. Her brother let out a grunt of pain, and grabbed the afflicted area. "C'mon, that was funny."
