Jellals pov 

i walk around the streets of Magnolia and notice a closed down empty building. i look at the price 300,000 jewel. not bad. 'please contact estate agents if intrested' i looked down at the number and wrote it down on the palm of my hand.  if i can't find a job, i could start my own.

i went back home and saw erza and the kids watching a tv show and i walked in the livingroom to see them. 'hello' i said. 

'hey dad' 

'hey jellal' they all said in unison and i chuckled and sat on the sofa. 

'um i have some news' i said and the trio looked at me and i was ready to explain. 'i was walking and i saw an empty closed down shop' i said and they just looked at me 'i was thinking of buying it but i didn't do any further decisions without you lot opinion' i said and they smiled at me. 

'well that depends on what you want to do?' erza said and i shrugged my shoulders. i don't want anything big, just like a little stop in shop' i said and erza thought about it. 

'like a gift shop?' she asked and i confusedly nodded. 

'yeah or just like a cafe or something' i said. 'i have an A* on business, i could do anything. i got an A in all my exams, no one will hire me because of this' i pointed at my scar above my eye because of my past. 

'well i don't see why you couldn't do that. why not have a shop clashed in with a cafe' erza suggested. 

'yeah' the kids said in unison and i just smiled. 

'alright, shoul i call them then' 

'YEAH!' they all cheered and i went to the phone to dial up the estate agents. 

---------------------------one week later------------------------

i'm painting the walls in my shop until i hear a group of guys cheering my name as if they were cheering for a football team which made me laugh. 

'well done man' Gajeel said and i just laughed. 

'thanks' i said. 

'yeah the girls made us come over to help ya' i just held a straight face but then laughed after gray said that. 

'nah it's fine' i said continuing to paint the walls and i could tell they were just looking around figuring out what to do but not wanting to do it. 'Guys, the brushes are there' i pointed to the counter and they walked over to the brushes and paints and we all started to paint the walls.

i don't know why i keep writing short chapters. it's quite sad really.
