Stray Kitty.

Ao wandered down the streets of Magnolia town, not knowing what to do. She was lonely once again, having not talked to anyone in days. She had heard a lot about the guild in this town and was feeling an urge to join it. In a few minutes, Ao sighted Fairy Tails guild hall. It felt impressive, but friendly at the same time. Her shyness was still coming up, it would probably make talking to others hard, but she had no where else to go.

Ao pushed open the door, seeing some members of Fairy Tail inside the guild hall. Her knees wobbled as she entered the building and she couldn't say anything. Her hands quickly pulled down her yellow hat, so it somewhat covered her eyes. She didn't want to pull any attention to herself, so she sneaked behind a pillar, only poking her head out. Ao did it to avoid attention, but it probably would pull attention towards her.

Lance looked around "A lot of members have been coming in as of late..." Lance muttered as he looked towards the door and saw that there was a girl standing there. She was really cute and Lance smiled as he walked over to her "Hey my names Lance and this is Fairy Tail." He said with a grin as he extended his hand towards the girl.

Yuki saw a new member enter the Fairy Tail guild and was immediately shy on sight. She couldn't meet her alone, so she decided to hide behind a pillar. She was nervous around new people and didn't want to meet her alone. So she panicked as she hid behind the same pillar that she was in. She was shaking and having a panic attack as she covered most of her face with a scar and stuttered, "H-hello and w-welcome to Fairy Tail. My name is Y-yuki."" She couldn't keep eye contact with Ao. Her face blushed extremely bright red in embarrassment. Secretly she thought she was so cute that she could eat her up, literally it seemed.

Leonard simply observed the hall on the fine day as he would always do. Nothing could escape his sight because he kept on practicing keeping an eye on the guild during his days. And on this nice day, he saw a stranger slip in. It was rather interesting and he wanted to know what the person wanted. As always, Lance was first to step in and give the guests of the guild a warm welcome. Leonard on the other hand, watched further, observing the people briefly. His observations suggested that their visitor was hungry.

While he was watching, he noticed Yuki making contact with the girl and was shy about it. That was the time Leonard decided to step in. To break the ice between them and to probably stop Yuki from eating her.

Leonard headed for the food bar first to grab some grub. Then he walked beside Yuki giving her a warm pat on her shoulder and a smile. "I see you're making friends." he commented nicely then turned his attention to their visitor.

Leonard greeted her with a smile, while handing the food he got from the bar "Hi, I'm Leo.Nice to meet you. Gee, you look hungry. Here, take this." he cheerfully said to the girl, making sure to leave a nice impression so that awkwardness wouldn't take over the scene.

Ao was nervous as more and more people introduced themselves to her. Names and faces flooding her head, she wasn't really able to greet anyone. She was trying to say her name and thank everyone for being so friendly, but words just weren't coming out of her mouth. She was too shy to even accept the food she was offered, even though she was incredibly hungry.

Ao was getting more and more shy, but something completely unexpected happened. The girl named Ebony walked over to her and handed her a taco. Aos eyes sparkled, her shyness faded away and the taco disappeared in mere seconds. She realized what she had just done, making her face go completely red in embarrassment. Then again, there was no going back now, she looked up to all of them and said: '' Hello, it is nice to meet you all. My name is Ao Lin. '' Ao knew she hadn't answered all the questions, but would get to them in time.

Ao now noticed the other shy girl. There was someone like her in this guild. Ao was caught off her guard, never had she met someone who was shy like her or even close to it. Ao walked closer to Yuki, smiling at her. She gave Yuki a quick hug, Ao somewhat felt attached to her already and wanted to become friends with her. In her mind, similar people should stick together.

Lance smiled as others quickly joined in and gave her food and stuff. After Ao gave Yuki a hug he nodded to Yuki and smiled "Your fitting in already." he said as he looked at the new person with a warm smile "Your going to fit in great..." Lance said as Lea came up behind Ao and gave her a hug from behind "Hi there Miss my names Lea!" she said as her cat ears twitched at the top of her head. Lance quickly blushed and pulled Lea off of Ao quickly with a bit of a nervous laugh "Sorry about that Ao..." he said nervously as Lea got an annoyed look on her face "Your no fun dad!" she said as she playfully punched him them smiled as she hugged him "But that's ok because I can still hug you!" she said as she squeezed him tighter and Lance blushed harder "L- LEA!" he said as she got off and laughed hard "Hey dad Ao is kind of cute don't you think?" she teased with a smirk which made Lance blush even harder, but he couldn't lie and looked at the ground "Yes..." he muttered as he didn't make eye contact with either Lea or Ao.

Deep down inside of him he was shy of the new people who joined.

Yuki froze upon being hugged, it was too much contact, Her cold body suddenly got warmed too fast and blushed really red. She was only able to say a two words, “So cute…” Then her body fell backwards as she fainted, but since she only weighed 90 pounds Ao could be able to hold onto her. She was not upset, but had a small smile on her face.

Leonard merrily greeted Ao back with a huge grin on his face. [color:2cc5=6699FF]"Nice to meet you too, Ao!". It seems tacos are the best way to befriend her. And although Leonard was planning on snatching the taco from Master Ebony's hand, Ao got to it first. However, Leonard wanted to correct Ebony with regards Ao's "hat". "Uhm... Master Ebony? That's not a hat..." he softly remarked.

But when Ao hugged Yuki, Leonard was worried. Being a Yuki-Onna, there's not telling what she could do. So he watched them carefully. But he actually giggled when he saw Yuki faint in Ao's arms. it was such a cute sight and Leonard couldn't hold himself back.

Afterwards, he approached Ao and gently placed his hand on her shoulder. "If you're looking for a home, or a place to stay, look no further Ao. We're here. We'll be your family and friends." he said with a soft comforting tone, accompanied afterwards by a smile as comforting as his words.
