Find the pups! (Solo Job)

Ando walked up to the door of the guild hall, proud of himself. His first job with the guild was a total success, and for a good cause! Everyone seemed to get a happy ending.

Well, except for the leader pup.

He was stuck back at the forgetful old man's place. Sure, he could escape, but the other puppies in his litter would follow! As much as he wanted to slip away, he also wanted them safe. He thought his best chance was that guy who found them, the one with the big sword. If only he could find him...

Suddenly, the other puppies poked him with a nose to get his attention. He looked, and they all looked into the horizon, at the Fairy Tail guild hall. He tilted his head in surprise at first, but a lick from all of them showed the message. They wanted him to be happy!

Once he said his goodbyes for now, the pup darted through the fence and towards the guild hall, yipping happily as he did.

Ando reached for the door, but paused when he heard the familiar barking. He looked behind him to find the lead puppy sprint up and sit, looking up at him with a stalwart expression.

The two of them locked eyes for a while, silently communicating. Ando always did that with his dog as a child, the two of them able to read each other perfectly.

He saw the same look in this pup's eyes.

"I'll call you Cinder! Welcome aboard."

The two of them entered the guild hall together, both of them eager to tackle becoming a famed warrior!
