----Meanwhile back at Fairy Tail----

Gildarts slammed his cup down on the table as he finished off another drink. It seemed the party wouldn't end today which was fine with him. They had been celebrating for a couple of days now since the others had left and as soon as they did Natsu had come strolling in making an uproar about returning from a month long S class mission. First thing he did was challenge Gildarts to a drinking contest. 

"Alright gramps you win!" As Natsu collapsed on the table drunker than the normal. "I bet you couldn't beat in a fist fight though." He said as he stumbled to his feet. 

"Please Natsu don't embarrass yourself." Gildarts said as he batted Natsu away, who promptly fell. Gildarts looked over at a table and noticed a newbie sitting there. Gildarts strolled over to the table and sat next to the girl. "I am sorry that I am not good with names but weren't you supposed to be on a mission with the other newbies and a couple of the others? They left about a couple of days ago so why didn't you go with them?" He asked slightly concerned for the girl.
