Chapter 6: Sorcerer Weekly
"Well this is it Orin." Luke said as they had finally gotten back to Cait Shelter where Orin was now taking in his surroundings
"So this is your guild." Orin muttered quite impressed and intrigued by the design and wanted to see more
"Let's get going Orin." Luke said at which Orin nodded and they began walking further into the guilds ground where Luke turned and then saw Wendy and Carla sitting at a bench probably talking to one another
"Who're they?" Orin asked obviously talking about Wendy and Carla due to his gaze literally pointed directly at them
"You'll find out soon, let's go." Luke said as they both walked over to the bench where Wendy and Carla were before getting their attention. "Hey guys I'm back!"
"Oh hey Luke!" Wendy greeted upon seeing Luke
"How did the job go?" Carla asked the sacred gear user as he gave a thumbs up
"It went great, the job was to defeat a dark guild, the leader was a bit crazy but we got the job done." Luke answered as he then remembered." I'd also like you to meet someone."
"Who?" Both Wendy and Carla asked simultaneously as Luke pointed downwards drawing their attention to the white and blue exceed who stepped out from behind Luke, it was obvious that they were surprised to see him
"Nice to meet you guys, my name is Orin." Orin introduced politely
"Nice to meet you as well, I'm Wendy Marvell and this is Carla." Wendy introduced them both as the white and blue exceed then turned to the other exceed at which he then sweatdropped confused at what was happening, Carla was just standing their inspecting him causing him to back away a bit
"Uhh is something wrong?" Orin asked cautiously as Carla then stopped and looked directly at him and shook her head
"No nothing is wrong, I was just seeing if you were going to be an annoyance." Carla said bluntly making Orin sweatdrop. "Anyway, nice to meet you."
"Well Orin, we should get you to Master Roubaul so you can join the guild." Luke said as the exceed nodded as they said their farewells to Wendy and Carla before walking into the main tent where they saw Roubaul sitting upon his chair like usual. "Hey master, I have someone that would like to join the guild."
"Oh Luke my boy you're back, a new member you say?" Roubaul said as he then noticed Orin who gave him a wave and he smiled. "And who might you be?"
"My name is Orin, I would like to join the guild." Orin requested as Roubaul gave a small nod before taking out a stamp
"Very well, where would you like you're stamp and what colour?" Roubaul asked as Orin thought for a bit before answering
"On my back and in blue that is similar to my fur." Orin decided as he turned around and Roubaul placed the stamp as the guild's mark appeared on his white furry back." Awesome!"
"Now you are apart of our guild Orin, now you 2 should get some rest it is getting late." Roubaul suggested as they agreed and Luke showed Orin to his room where they quickly went to sleep
Time Skip
"Luke wake up." A voice was heared as said person slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the voice and saw that it was Roubaul
"Master? is there something you need?" Luke asked tiredly as he held a hand over his mouth yawning
"Well I was asked to ask you if you were busy today." Roubaul answered causing Luke to blink a couple times
"Well I'm not busy, but why?" Luke asked curiously
"Well the Sorcerer Weekly group had said that they wanted to do an article about you." Roubaul replied
"An article? I mean, sure I don't mind." Luke responded
"Okay that's good, I'll tell them, get yourself ready for the day and meet me at the tent." Roubaul said as he then left the room and Luke stood up from his bed and stretched before looking and saw Orin sleeping peacefully just beside him, Luke smiled at this before shaking him awake
"Huh? why did you wake me up?" Orin asked rubbing his eyes with his paw before looking at Luke
"We need to get freshened up, we have somewhere to go." Luke answered causing Orin to tilt his head in confusion but complied and they both refreshed themselves, Luke put on his scarf and Orin smoothened out his fur
"So where are we going exactly?" Orin asked his partner as Orin realised that it was still pretty early in the morning
"I'm not sure myself but I know we're going to do some kind of article for a group called Sorerer Weekly and that we should go see Master Roubaul at the tent." Luke explained as Orin nodded and they entered the tent and saw him but also someone else
He was a relatively short young man with blond hair that sticks up in the middle. He wears a pink t-shirt, blue jeans, brown shoes and black sunglasses. Luke had no idea who this person was and Orin looked at Luke and could tell that he didn't know this person but they flinched when he suddenly yelled.
"So Coooool!" The person yelled as they ran straight up to Luke's face and was looking incredibly excited. "Oh my god! Oh my god! This is So Coool!"
"W-What!? hold on what's cool?" Luke asked
"You of course! you're Luke Knight right!? This is too cool!" The person yelled in extreme excitement making everyone sweatdrop, Luke and Orin turned to Roubaul who chuckled
"This man is Jason from the Sorcerer Weekly, he's here to guide you to where they will be having you help in the creation of the article." Roubaul explained as they nodded before they were suddenly grabbed by the arm and rushed out the door
"We have a lot to do! So cool! So cool!" Jason yelled as Roubaul then bursted into laughter at seeing them being dragged away
[Who the heck is screaming!?] Albion who had just woken up yelled
Time Skip
[So we're going to be making an article?] Albion asked mentally to both Orin and Luke
'Pretty much, we just follow Jason here and get the job done and go back.' Luke stated getting and agreed nod from Orin
[It's a lot more tame than what we usually do but I don't mind] Albion said as he then asked. [Why does this guy keep screaming by the way?]
'Who knows." Orin was the one that answered as they then stopped walking and now they were in front of a large building that had a plaque that said 'Sorcerer Weekly'
"This is it! let's go!" Jason ran into the building as Orin and Luke sighed before walking in as well, they were greeted by many different things like props, clothing and camera's. Honestly it looked alot like a film studio. "Welcome to the Sorcerer Weekly HQ!"
"So Jason, what should we be doing?" Luke asked as Jason then began to explain the procedure to the both of them, it would be an understatement in saying that the 2 of them were shocked as to what they had just listened to. "Wait! are you serious!?"
"H-He can't be right!?" Orin also shouted as what they heard was that they were to pose in various ways for a photoshoot for images in the article which could range from normal modeling poses to some things that shouldn't even be talked about!
"This way my friends!" Jason stated as they slumped their heads in defeat as they followed and prepared for the worst as Albion was laughing his ass off
TIme Skip
The session took hours as many photos were taken and were re-taken of Orin and Luke who were now resting in the lobby, most of the photos were pretty tame but some just didn't sit well with them... at all! They took different photos and decided on the best ones that they were going to use.
The first picture was tame as it was a mid-shot of both Luke and Orin where Luke was facing left with Orin standing on his shoulder facing the opposite direction. The back ground of it was grey in colour with some specific lighting to make it looks better.
The second photo was showing a side angle of Luke sitting on a rock facing and watching the ocean with the sun setting down. The third photo was similar to the second as it had Orin looking at the sunset with his paw raised towards the sun.
The fourth was of both Luke and Orin where they were both standing a top a tall cliff overlooking the vast plains and mountain ranges with the sun in the background. They then took a step up from the normal photos to more... revealing photos if you catch my drift.
The fifth photo was of Luke without his shirt on facing the camera with his hair looking like it was being blown on by wind, he had his right hand on his hip while his left hand was rubbing the back of his head, Orin was also in the shot leaning on Luke's side. The sixth and last shot had Luke shirtless again and was taken from above looking down at Luke and Orin laying on the ground, Luke had both arms crossed behind his head with Orin from the side resting his head on Luke's abdominal muscles.
To say that both of them were extremely embarrassed would be the biggest understatement of the year, they were full on blushing at the poses they did and calmed themselves as they were now in the lobby resting.
[Oh my god that was great! you guys did so many embarrassing and possibly sexual photos of yourselves!] Albion yelled pretty much laughing as loudly as he could as both Orin and Luke scoffed in annoyance
"Jeez, I didn't think a simple photoshoot would be that embarrassing." Luke said with a sigh as he leaned back on the couch
"No kidding, I definitely wasn't expecting to do something like this the day after I joined." Orin said making them all sweatdrop
[You guys realise that this article is going to be public so many people are going to see those photos] Albion stated with a chuckle as both Orin and Luke gasped in realisation thinking about what people will think of him after the magazine is published, as they were having their terrible thought the door opened and snapped them back into reality
"Mr Knight and Mr Orin, I am in charge of asking the questions of our models for information to add to the article, is that fine with you?" He asked getting a nod from the both of them, the man then proceeded to ask question to Luke and Orin about certain topics before after a couple minutes the questions were finished and they were given a room since it was really late and it wouldn't be a good idea to go out at dark
Time Skip
Luke had woken up along with Orin and when they did they got themselves freshened up and got out of the room, when they did they were confronted by Jason who looked extremely excited.
"Woah Jason calm down!" Luke said trying to calm Jason
"What are you so excited about?" Orin asked
"Look at this!" Jason yelled as he gave Luke a magazine that he now realised was the article based on him and Orin, Orin looked at the front cover with Luke and they were kind of worried to see the inside
"Is this what I think it is?" Luke asked nervously and shaking as well as Orin as they then turned to Jason slowly
"Yep! it's the article, we finished it overnight and published it and everything!" Jason yelled as they read the title and it said 'The Blue and White Duo' which they kind of actually liked before they hesitantly looked through the book and cringed a bit... oh what the heck they cringed every 2 seconds!
"Has anyone bought the article yet Jason?" Orin asked hesitantly
"Definitely!" Jason responded happily
"How many?" Both Orin and Luke asked slowly as their eyes narrowed as Jason then took a sheet of paper out that displayed the data of how many copies had been sold and their eyes widened, it read a total number of... approximately 14 million copies sold! "Isn't that more than 80% of Fiore's population!?"
"I know right! this is so cool!" Jason yelled
[Hahahahahaha! that article sold faster than even I expected, man over 80% bought the copy over the course of the night!] Albion said laughing as he rolled around on the floor gasping for air between laughs
Meanwhile with Fairy Tail
"Natsu! check this out!" Lucy called over to the fire dragon slayer who turned his head to her
"Yeah? what is it?" Natsu asked as Lucy ran over and handed him a magazine. "What's this?"
"It's the latest Sorcerer Weekly magazine!" Lucy yelled as Natsu blinked at her
"Why did you give it to me?" Natsu asked not really interested in the magazines in any way, Lucy then had a grin on her face
"Just look at who it's about and you'll understand why I gave it to you." Lucy replied as Natsu then read the title which made him raise an eyebrow but as he was going to open it, the other came over
"What the commotion over here?" Said as person that revealed to be shirtless and had black spiky hair
"Is there some sort of problem?" asked a red haired female
The first person was none other than Gray Fullbuster, rival and friend of Natsu. Right now he was only wearing a pair of boxers or in other words he was in his underwear.
The other was Erza Scarlet, an S-Class wizard in the Fairy Tail guild and the famous Titania. She had armour on and a blue skirt, she had scarlet coloured hair and brown eyes.
"I'm just showing Natsu this weeks Sorcerer Weekly magazine." Lucy answered as they all then went behind Natsu and waited for him to open the magazine which he did and his eyes widened upon seeing the figure
"Is that who I think it is!?" Natsu yelled as he eyes the white haired boy in the picture
"Do you know who that is flamebrain?" Gray asked looking curiously at the young male wizard
"That's Luke, his full name is Luke Knight." Natsu answered
"When did you meet him?" Erza asked them
"We met him while we were coming back from one of our jobs, we met him on the train." Lucy answered Erza's question getting a nod
"Well let's read it." Natsu said as he then flicked through the first set of photos looking at them curiously at the different poses that he was doing but what then caught their eyes was the white and blue cat in some of them. "Who's the cat?"
"He looks like Happy." Lucy said as said person came over and looked at the magazine and his eyes went wide
"That cat's just like me!" Happy shouted in happiness knowing he wasn't alone in the world anymore
"Is there any information on them?" Gray asked as then more people came over wondering what they were reading
"What are you guys doing?" Asked beautiful woman with white hair and behind her was a large man with white hair as well along with someone with a large barrel of booze, they then explained
The first person was Mirajane, she is a slim young woman of below average height. She has long, white hair which curls slightly at the ends, with two bangs framing her face and reaching down to her chest.
The second was Elfman, Mirajane's younger brother. He is a large, muscular man with tan colored skin, he is also very tall. His long white hair is kept styled upwards in long, wavy spikes, his dark eyes possess no visible eyebrows and his rectangular.
The third and last was Cana Alberona,
"So this is your friend?" Cana asked looking at Lance. "I can tell he's going to be quite the looker when he grows up."
"That's the sight of a real man right there!" Elfman stated
"What does it say about them?" Mira asked as Natsu turned a few pages as they then see the photos of Luke without his shirt which made them smirk as they then made it near to the end where the information was
"Here it is." Natsu said before he started to read it aloud

"Isn't that when your father Igneel disappeared Natsu?" Gray asked
"Yeah you're right, that's so wierd." Natsu said trying to think of an explanation but couldn't come up with anything
"So he's 12." Cana started as she then looked at the image next to the set of information. "He's got quite a nice body for someone that age."
"And what kind of element is Vanishing?" Erza wondered
"Is there information on the other cat!?" Happy asked as Natsu flicked the page and there was indeed some information on Orin

"Yeah that may be true but I highly doubt that he's better than Happy!" Natsu stated with pride as Happy cheered
"That's for sure! I bet I'm a lot stronger than he is!" Happy declared as Gray deadpanned at him
"Yeah sure you are." Gray said sarcastically. "and I think we can all agree that Natsu would get his ass kicked by this kid."
"What'd you say ice princess!?" Natsu yelled as they budded heads and a brawl broke out within the guild
Back with Luke
"Thanks for having us Jason." Luke said with a bow as Orin did the same
"No problem! you guys were so cool!" Jason yelled as they then said their farewells and went their separate ways
"So are we heading back?" Orin asked
"Yeah, I wonder what they're doing." Luke asked himself
[Probably just the usual, it's not like there's much to do other than jobs since ther...] Albion was saying when suddenyl both Albion and Luke froze in spot which Orin noticed
"You guys alright?" Orin asked
"I don't know but I think I felt something." Luke stated confusing Orin
[It was like a strange signal coming from... the west] Albion said as they turned in the west direction
"I can't feel it but for however long I've known you guys, I know when you guys are being serious." Orin said
"Let's check it out."
