A cloaked figure sits alone on a park bench. His bag laid next to his feet and if you were close enough, you could hear the sound of music blaring from his headphones. He looked up and noticed the stares he was getting. He sighed and pulled his hood off.

He originally wore the cloak to avoid too much attention but it causes the opposite.

Of course, who could miss a full grown man in a pure white cloak? It wouldn't matter if people recognized the grandson of fairy tail's master. It wasn't like he was a member.

It's been a year since he was expelled from fairy tail, he heard that they've been causing trouble like usual. Hearing that they haven't changed despite what he's done brought a smile to his face. He was an idiot to think that making them fight each other was going to change anything. It's like a normal afternoon for them.

Another dragon slayer has joined recently, making fairy tail the first guild to have three dragon slayers. It's obvious that they are now the strongest and most well-known guild in Fiore. Again, how could he be so stupid?

Laxus kept his gaze down as he continued to scold himself for being so blind. Suddenly he noticed a white dot land on the ground in front of him. He looked up to see a bunch of dandelions fly above his head. His gaze followed them to its source, where he found a small child holding at least 10 of the white flowers at once and blowing them all.

She smiled as they flew off before running back to a tree where a couple sat watching her. She jumped into the mother's arms and gave her a hug, as the father picked the stray dandelions from her hair.

Of course, how could he have forgotten the most idiotic thing he's done.

Laxus again cursed himself.
