Wendy and Chelia were talking at the bar. One thing was certain; they both hadn't had this much fun in a long while. They seemed to be able to talk for ages, a giggle here and there but time seems to slow down in each others company. Something extremely rare to find. But they both we're surprised when a voice cut their conversation off temporary.
"Sorry to bother you."
"Master Sting?" Wendy questions, turning her head in his direction.
"Sting's just fine. No worry. But we're organizing a meeting with all of us dragon slayers. I hope you'll be able to you know...be there?" Sting questions slightly rubbing his neck awkwardly.
"Don't worry I definitely won't miss something like that" Wendy smiles.
"Great...errrmmm....cheers, gotta go!" Sting replies quickly before running off, causing Wendy's smile to turn into a confused frown.
"He almost seemed nervous" Chelia thought out loud.
"I know what your saying" Wendy responds with a smile finding it's way onto her face once more. Chelia smiled at this, a light pink dusting her cheeks.
"Your smile is really nice Wendy!" Chelia exclaimed causing Wendy to go a deep scarlet.
"T-Thanks."

"Wait! I messed it up because I can't think straight! Rogue was supposed to recruit Wendy he's going to kill me! I'm such an i***t!" Sting freaks out not realizing Rogue behind him.
"Erm...I'm not too bothered" Rogue sighs. "Although you got the i***t part right."
"O-Oh! Rogue! Heheheh...Opps" Sting responds sheepishly. "Sorry..." Sting sighs.
"Hey really, it's fine. I'll try to recruit Laxus instead okay?" Rogue replies reassuringly.
"Thanks Rogue!" Sting grins causing Rogue to turn away slightly attempting to hide his small blush.
"No problem. But we better get back to work again."

The Thunder Legion were sitting at a table near the corner of the Fairy Tail guild. Splitting the pay from their previous mission as equally as possible. But Laxus wasn't really paying attention to how much money he was getting. But more focused on Freed then anything else. Recently he had been getting a weird sort of force of attraction luring him to Freed. On the journey back Laxus couldn't keep his eyes away. They always found themselves right back on Freed. Like an endless circle that's impossible to stop. Only delay the circuit...
"-xus-Laxus!" Freed's voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
"Oh, sorry Freed" Laxus replied without even thinking.
"What's wrong? Are you sick?" Freed questions, worry lacing his voice.
"Sick?" Laxus repeats, his confused gaze finding it's way to Freed's worried ones.
"Why would you-?"
"Your concentration is lacking...usually links to illnesses" Freed replies.
"I'm fine" Laxus responds before training his gaze back onto the table.
"You can tell me if something wrong" Freed responds.
"I know" Laxus simply replies, but those simple two words full Freed of a sudden confidence.
"Laxus" A voice greets, making all of the thunder region look at the owner. To see Rogue.
"Rogue" Laxus responds casually, learning his arm on the table.
"Can I help you or something?"
"There will be a meeting soon. A meeting with all of the dragon slayers. Will you be attending?" Rogue questions, getting straight to the point knowing Laxus would prefer it that way.
"All of us?" Laxus asks an eyebrow raised.
"Well we're trying to gather everyone. We're predicting all of us yes" Rogue replies.
Rogue scanned the confused faces of the Thunder Legion and sighed.
"What's in it for me?" Laxus demands.
"Answers your looking for due to strange feelings. Found yourself doing something...unusual?" Rogue answers knowing he grabbed Laxus's attention. Laxus confused look turns into a glare.
"How would you-"
"Meeting or not?"
"Fine."
"Good, see you soon" Rogue curtly replied walking away from the table.

Team Natsu had just completed the mission. And, were now on the train. The mission took around three hours; collecting shards to create some sort of Crystal that Natsu had no clue what it does or why someone would want it. To him; it just looked like an ordinary Crystal.
"Oh thank god" Lucy sighs a breath of relief. Whereas Natsu was preparing for the worst journey of his life.
"Ughhhhhhhh..." Natsu groans.
"We haven't even started moving yet..." Gray deadpans at the fire-wizard.
"Just thinking of the journey makes me want to puke" Natsu counters. Gray only rolls his eyes in response. Knowing he will be hearing this the whole ride.
"Me and Lucy are going to the food cabin" Erza informs before taking off in search for her strawberry cheesecake.
Gray sighs, running a hand through his hair in frustration.
Grabbing Natsu he proceeds to put him on his lap.
"Hey-What are you doing!" Natsu freaks out throwing his arms around in a crazy manner.
"Helping" Gray grunts. Resting his head on the backboard.
Natsu found himself falling asleep in Gray's lap. Gray's cold touch giving him some kind of comfort he can't really describe. It wasn't long before Gray had fell asleep too. The pair drifting off in a peaceful manner, extremely contradictory to their boisterous personalities. Lucy and Erza returned, Lucy letting out a small giggle at the sight she found; Erza simply shaking her head slightly, but a fond smile on her face.

After the long train ride the train finally coming to a halt. Natsu was the first to wake up. From the terrible sensation in his stomach disappearing he was immediately awoken. After a few seconds of realizing his position Natsu sprang up from Gray's lap causing Gray to stir.
"What the heck Natsu" Gray grumbled, his voice full of sleep.
"Well sorry! I wasn't the one who chose to be in the position I was in!" Natsu huffed.
"Actually you did" Gray responded yawning before standing up. Seeing the girls leaving their compartment, Gray follows after them. Natsu following behind him mumbling something about rights.
Returning to the guild, Gray was immediately met with Lyon. Bombarding Gray with greetings. Natsu felt jealousy well up inside of him but ignored him. He was about to make his way back to the bar; but he heard Sting's voice calling his name.
"What's up Sting?" Natsu questions, his voice a little sour.
"Hey are you okay?" Sting asks.
"Yeah...just fine. How long is Lyon staying?"
"Oh I get it."
"Get what?" It was now Natsu's time to ask a question.
"You'll see. Will you join a meeting with all the dragon slayers?"
"All of us? Yeah! I'm all fired up now!"
"That's more like you" Sting grins. Walking away knowing he had accomplished something decent for once.
