Hey everyone thank you for the feedback it was nice to hear that some people enjoyed it, I will be posting this chapter a little early mostly to try and get more exposure for the story. I will be posting a chapter on Sunday though so no worries. I do not own Fairy Tail or the characters enjoy

Thunk Thunk, a moss haired assistant knocked on a large wooden door, its accents were sharp and the design was bold, most would go for whimsical lines and curves carved into their door but the Duke was someone more direct. A long curved line ran on the outside of the whole design, slash marks carved into it like a wild animal had been the one to do the job three thick blocks were placed on the inside with no more than a fists space between them. All three had an intricate diamond shape carved into them with lines that almost seemed like lighting making up the pieces, there were some curves and swirls that only brought out the intensity of the jagged and more prominent part of the diamond, all of this was a signal of what kind of man sat beyond this entryway. "Master Drayer I have news from the group you hired."

"Come in, make it quick." The assistant was a man who had an aura of power and the confidence of a house cat. His men only wore the finest of clothing at all times and today it was an ensemble of a long red coat with black lining and three silver buttons. A long sleeved white shirt was placed neatly underneath mostly hidden by the jacket the only real stand out part being the gently ruffled collar at the neck and the repeating ruffle at the ends of the sleeves. Black pants and shoes to match and a thick red belt that helped hold a sword in a black sheath. "What is their current status?"

With a small bow the man then proceeded to answer, "Currently in route, they require upfront payment before proceeding." Laxus leaned back in his massive black chair and gave a look of boredom.

He waved at his assistant, "Tell them they'll do it now or won't get paid at all I don't have the time to deal with feeble servants. You may go now Freed."

His assistant kept standing there though which drew his curiosity, "Well sir. I actually have a report as well."

"And?" The blond haired nobleman was tired of the small talk. He stood now to show off his garb fit for a King. A dark blue jacket with many buttons, some without any real purpose, gold lining and ropes handing off his shoulders and lining the coat, a black feather like collar with a cape that dropped to his knees. The only thing missing would be the crown you could almost see on the top of his head. "I don't have time for idle chat."

Freed straightened himself up, being in the presence of someone resembling a lion was threatening for a house cat. "The last shipment was taken."

"What did you say?"

"The description given by that ruffian of a ship captain said that masked assailants attacked and took the cargo, the only person they had left was a small boy who had gone back into the fray for a loved one." He took a deep breath and calmed his nerves, Laxus just stared for a moment pissed as hell that someone would dare go against him. Recently the vigilante group had become more prominent and more confident in their endeavors and it was becoming a nuisance. Soon word would get out that he was unable to handle his own city.

Laxus cracked his neck to relax and turned to face a giant set of windows behind him. He was stationed outside of the city for protection and because the air was thick and grimy, and the sight of poor people only made him angry. "Where is that boy?"

Freed snapped his fingers and the door opened with an orange haired woman. She was clad in almost the same outfit as Freed but a dark green like his hair, long green and black boots and a long bustier styled top under her jacket that showed off her assets. "Lord Drayer." The woman bowed to him, dragging a small black haired boy in tow. The boy looked as if he could strike at any moment and when the woman assistant noticed his impudence she grabbed the back of his head and forced a bow.

The Duke looked the almost escapee up and down and then waved for the both of them to stand properly, "Who came to rescue you?" The boy refused to answer. "Ever do we have a name for this boy?"

"Romeo sir, he was cataloged before the ship was attacked." She had a hold on the back of his shirt even though his hands were tied. "He is a fighter. He has tried to escape since the incident."

Laxus came out from behind his desk and sent a cold air through the room, the boy couldn't help but show some falter in his eyes. He was only, at the looks of it 11 or so. "Who did you go back for?"

Again, there was only silence. Laxus was tired of this game, "Bring him here."

Ever and Freed gave each other worried glances, "Duke Drayer please don't dirty your hands, this boy is not worth it."

"I have an idea on who attacked and-"

"Bring. The boy. Her." Laxus gave them all the glare of a predator. Ever, reluctantly gave a small bow and proceeded to lead the boy closer to the giant mahogany desk that Laxus had placed himself in front of. The boy tried not to lose the fire in his eyes but the closer he got the Duke the faster he realized how weak he really was. "Oh Romeo please don't make this harder than it needs to be. I'll give you one last chance to tell me who it was that saved you."

The boy began to shake but refused to budge. "You give me no choice." He grabbed the kid by his head and lifted him off the ground. Romeo struggled and kicked to get free but the man had a tight hold on him, he couldn't help but whimper a few times and grunt. "I know you know these people. You might be a street rat but the fire in your eyes doesn't come from survival that fire comes from hope. If you want to see your loved one again I suggest you tell me who they are."

Romeo's teeth began to chatter and he stumbled over his words, "I-" Laxus had broken him, a giant grin spread across his face as he waited for the rest. "The family of Drayer will fall. Fairy Tail will prevail…" The boy whispered and grunted, still trying to hold on. Fed up with the nonsense he threw the child toward the bookcase decorating the side of the room, the kid yelled and curled into a ball before landing on the floor. Ever and Freed had flinched briefly and watched Laxus go back to his window.

Just as Ever was going to go for the child Laxus held up his hand, "Freed, get the money they requested and have the fastest delivery man carry it out to them. No stops, this needs to be done now. I will not let a bunch of fairies ruin my plans."

Romeo managed to get himself up using the bookcase on his right, he huffed and heaved himself upright, knocking some books down in the process. He could've sworn he heard a noise from the bookshelf but shook it off when Ever grabbed his shirt again and lead him out of them room. "Come on kid, you just bought yourself some more time in a cell."

"Hold on to your hope as long as you can, because once I take it, you'll never have it back. Romeo."

"Romeo…" a soft voice whispered from behind her secret hutch in the bookshelves. She pushed her white hair back into her bun and quickly opened up a small crawl space to escape, she needed to get back to let everyone know what was going on.

"Fruit here! Get fresh fruit right here!" The merchants called out begging for money. The market place was alive with people and tourists, it was the entrance of the city and everyone seemed to have a good life here. All of it was a cover up for the poverty that lay beyond the market and motels.

In the alleyways lay homeless and hungry people, all waiting for the dropping of the tourists who had the money to spend on pointless items and food. "I don't know where to look Carla…" A little bluenette whined, holding her white kitten with a pink bow around its neck.

The cat meowed back as if she was answering her owner and she giggled, "I won't give up just yet, I've gotta find them soon so we can head back home…" She held back tears and wiped her eyes just to be sure nothing escaped. The cat purred and curled herself around the young girl's neck. "Oh Carla, thank you." Thud, she ran smack into what seemed to be a normal man. "S-Sorry"

"Hey where are your parents?" He tried to pretend to care but the small smirk she could see at the corner of his lip told her otherwise.

She backed away slowly and held up her hands, "They are at a booth a little ways away, I was heading over there now. Just stopped to buy food for my kitty." The cat glared and hissed at the man.

He reached out to pat her on the head and smiled, "Why don't I walk you over? It's dangerous to be alone."

"No thank you, I'm fine!" She grabbed the handles of her backpack tightly before sprinting off.

The rugged man watched as she ran and nudged his partner standing at the vegetables in the booth beside them, "I've got a live one, let's go." They both started walking in the direction she ran but split off and headed down the alleyways in hopes to block her off.

She ran for as long as she could before jumping behind a booth stand to catch her breath, this place was a little more frightful than back home. "Th-that was close." The bluenette reached to pet her cat who was now promptly standing on her backpack before leaping on top of the booth to be a look out. They stayed there for a good few minutes before going about their way down the marketplace and into the poorer parts of the city. She was told to look for an odd symbol to get to the place she was going. "Carla I don't think I'm going to find them…"

"Hey watch where you're walking flame brain!" A navy haired man yelled, showing his companion to the side.

"Maybe you shouldn't throw your body around like a dead guy!" The salmon haired man shoved back, causing a ruckus in the streets of the market place. Catching the eye of some guards.

They hit on each other a few times before they could hear some whispers and noticed the guard were getting closer. Both of them clicked their tongues and stopped fighting reluctantly. "God damn prick, why am I always stuck with you?"

"I hope you don't think I'm happy about it either. I wanted to do a scout alone but no, apparently I can't be trusted alone!" The man threw his hands around and stomped through the streets.

The muscled man began to laugh, "Because you obviously destroy everything in sight AND you draw too much attention Natsu."

The boy called Natsu threw his fist in front of his friend's face and pointed at his chest, "Says the one who is half naked! Where did you even put your clothes Gray?" They began to panic looking for his now missing shirt in the streets. Eventually and older gentleman angrily yelled at Gray for throwing his shirt on top of his prized crops. Both of them apologizing and then running off.

"Hey where are your parents?" They heard that awful question and stopped dead in their tracks, now becoming on with the crowd as they walked by. Natsu heard the conversation and their plan to go after her.

Gray touched Natsu's shoulder, "Is it go time?"

Natsu clenched his fists and punched them together, "Let's crack some skulls." They both took to the alleys before managing to get on the rooftops. They had to find that girl before those boozoos did or else she was dead meat.

"My lady…" A maid with thick cufflinks could be heard through the thickness of her study's room.

Lucy turned from her bookcase and called for her to enter, "Any news Virgo?"

The maid shook her head and Lucy whispered a profanity under her breath. "In this case no news is not good news. The vigilante groups are getting out of hand and becoming too prominent, before long Laxus and the other nobles will drown them like rats."

A smaller girl with short blue hair and red reading glasses popped her head out from the bookshelves, "Princess Lucy what do you suppose we do? We can't very well help the vigilantes they are technically breaking the law."

"Someone needs to warn them. Laxus will have them wiped out and fed to the dogs in no time. It just takes one wrong step. Or one very hungry mouth…" The princess was dressed in a pink gown today adorned with a thick white ribbon on her hips that tied into a large bow on her back, the front of the dress opening up into a V shape to show some on the under cushion that was usually hidden. Red material was bunched up at the slit and sat on the back of her dress mostly, for whatever reason to make it seem like she was shapely underneath in that region. Her top opened up in a right side up V with white fluff and red ribbon holding it all in. Her hair was down for today with three braids on each side the top and bottom were smaller braids that looped back to a small ponytail in the back and the middle was a little larger. At the ponytail and larger braid formed underneath and fell down like a waterfall in her hair. She tried not to poke at her hair but the hanging braids were more bothersome than she had thought. Lucy tightened her shimmering pink lips and released several times to show her frustration. "I need Jellal to return from his information gathering, then we can talk… Until then Levy I need you to guide me through the geography of these cities…" Virgo took that as a sign of dismissal and left the large study that The Queen used to inhabit before her passing.

The little girl began to shiver as the sun began to go down and the shadows from all the worn down buildings gave her an eerie feeling. "Carla what do I do?" She whimpered before seeing a dark figure pass through her peripheral. "Who's there?"

"Little girl I thought you were meeting up with your parents?" The familiar man from before walked out of an alleyway behind her and she shot around.

Taking a couple steps back she tried to fake her smile, "Just got lost going back to our resting area, I'll be fine-!" She was stopped by a pudgy belly she sort of bounced off of before feeling too large hands on her tiny shoulders.

The first man began to chuckle, "I'll help you find a place to go, you'll find a nice home with a classy family."

"C-Carla…" She whimpered as her knees began to shake, she reached for her bag to grab a tiny knife only to have it kicked out of her hand.

"No no, if you do something like that then you'll just go to the fields to work."

"Another option is she comes with us." A scratchy and deep voice suggested from behind the scrawny lackey.

"I think I like that idea Gray." The voice wasn't as deep but it still had a threatening tone to it, and for some reason it seemed like it was right behind her. She felt the hands on her shoulders let go and the man behind her let out a horrible and painful groan.

Gray wrapped an arm around the tall guy's throat and held him tight, "So who do you work for? Not like we don't already know right Natsu?"

Natsu wasn't punching the lights out of the bigger guy, "Doesn't hurt to ask I guess."

"W-we don't work for anyone we are private contractors! I don't know who the main guy is!"

Gray and Natsu shared some hearty laughs, "Wow! You don't even know who the head honcho is, that's pathetic. I almost feel bad."

"If he was just a robber I'd let him go."

"Unfortunately he is a kidnapper though, right buddy?" Gray asked and as he began to try and scream for help until the now shirtless man shoved his shirt in the man's mouth.

The little girl watched the exchange go on and when Gray had taken off his shirt she found the symbol she was looking for, "I found you!" She squealed making the two men stop in their tracks from beating the guy to a pulp.

Natsu pointed to himself, "You were looking for us?" She happily nodded and showed her mark as well signifying being from Cait Shelter.

"Ooooh lucky." Gray said taking one more opportunity to punch the guy. "What's your name?"

"Wendy! Wendy Marvel!"

They threw the guy to the side and shrugged, "Guess we are taking her back with us."

Natsu held out his hand and gave her the friendliest grin she had ever seen, "I like your cat! I've got one too!" She blushed a little and took his hand, happy that everything had worked out for the better. Now she could get help for her city.

They walked together until the met a red building with the Fairy Tail symbol carved into one of the bricks, only someone who looked really hard would be able to see it. That is how important it was to stay secret. The group was there to help their city but if everyone knew where to go then they would be hunted down. "This is it. If you ever get lost again look for the cat wind directional on the roof." Gray pointed up and she had followed to see a black metal cat with its paw pointing forward.

Wendy nodded and took the info in, "How do you get inside though?" The door was bolted on the inside but there was not a doorknob on the outside.

Natsu pointed to the alley, "The hideout is actually underground so you have to go to the alley and get into the basement from there." Gray led the way with Natsu and Wendy holding hands behind him.

Gray knocked three times on what looked like a piece of cardboard in the trash waited a couple seconds and knocked two more times. The brick wall next to it started to move with a hefty man on the other side, "Gray, Natsu we've been waiting, it's not manly to be late."

"Yeah yeah, we got someone from Cait Shelter who needed our help." Gray motioned over to Natsu where the goofball was waving with the hand he was holding onto her with.

Elfman eyed her up and down and saw the mark on her, "Come on in and welcome to Fairy Tail." They were escorted into a large room with a pipe sticking out, she had realized that the cardboard was hiding the pipe Gray was knocking on, a chair sat next to it and she figured he sat there waiting for people to return.

They went down a long set of steps that were barely lit up by the small candles on the walls, "Watch your step Wendy it can be easy to fall here." She nodded and kept an eye on her feet.

"Natsu would know he has fallen down the whole flight more than once."

"HEY! You've fallen down too!"

"Only when I had bear feet!"

"That still counts!" Natsu retorted causing Wendy to laugh and Elfman to sigh, it was too late for him to have to deal with these two. Carla stretched and meowed on Wendy's back perching her upper half on the top of Wendy's head.

The light at the end wasn't too bright but she could start hearing voices at the end of the tunnel her nerves were still getting the best of her even though she has only met nice people. She grabbed onto the back of Natsu's black vest and he looked back at her and smiled to reassure her. "Everyone's nice no worries!"

As they hit the bottom a giant empty barrel comes crashing into the wall on their left making Wendy scream and Carla to hiss. "Cana what the hell?!" Gray yelled at the woman in the gypsy like clothing, her brown hair tied up in a messy bun.

"Hey! The boys are back!"

"Yeah and you almost gave all of us a concussion! That's manly!" Elfman cried out flexing his muscles.

Wendy felt a gentle hand on her should and it surprised her, looking up to see a beautiful adult woman with white hair, "Hey sweetie how can we help you?"

"Mira! These two say she is from Cait Shelter."

Wendy straightened up and grabbed her bag off of her back, forcing Carla to jump on the little girl's head. "They asked me to give this information to you guys no matter what."

"They sent a little girl to do it?" A feminine but deep voice spoke up, she had a full body of armor on and it was pretty threatening.

"W-well we needed all the strongest members to stay behind."

Mira gave a look to the red haired woman, "Now Erza we haven't even heard the whole story."

Natsu grabbed the little girl and put her on his shoulders, "Go ahead tell them what you told us."

Wendy wanted to hide in fear, "M-my city… Our people, are in danger. There was a rumor that someone in our guild gave our position away… We never found out who but then we heard that the nobles hired someone to take care of us." Her heart started to hurt, hoping it wasn't currently happening. She was thinking what the others were thinking as well and they all had pained expressions now. "I came with a map, a paper with what the rumors were, and how long we might have left. Our leader was friends with yours and we are asking that you send reinforcements with me back to fight!"

All of the guild members looked at each other, they wanted to say it but nobody wanted to hurt her. Erza stepped closer and motioned for Natsu to take her off his shoulders. "Wendy… Have you considered that they sent you away to be safe?"

Tears filled her eyes and she nodded her head, "I-I did but I can't just sit here… If they have been taken I need to help!" She began to sob and everyone fell silent.

Natsu couldn't take her crying anymore and hit his fist against the wall, "Maybe we can get there on time! I'll go with her!" Gray stepped forward, his arms crossed and stood next to Natsu. They acted like they hated one another but they were the best of friends and he was going to stick by his side.

"Count me in too."

Mirajane bent down and wiped her tears away, "You are one lucky girl to have so many people care about you. Now it's our turn. Erza we need to help anyone we can, if we fall then all of the citizens in Fiorre are doomed. We don't want her to end up like Romeo…"

Wendy looked at the red haired woman who had a softer expression. "Alright you both can go."

The two guys high fived each other and then rubbed Wendy's hair. She couldn't be happier, "Thank you!"

Natsu tapped Mirajane's shoulder, "What happened to Romeo?"

"Natsu we tried to get everyone but Macao was caught and Romeo went back to get him. Romeo was caught instead and now he is in the Duke's cells…" Mirajane grabbed her hair and threw it to a side ponytail. "The Duke wasn't nice about it…"

The pink haired male was now exuding anger, "You volunteered to help Wendy though, and we will get Romeo in time. The Duke is heartless but beating up a kid would bring no satisfaction if it did he would've already done it by now."

He calmed down and Wendy grabbed on to his hand, "I'm sorry."

"No you are fine Wendy. These guys are reliable he'll be home soon. We'll leave tonight so that we can get there as soon as possible."

Erza motioned for everyone to gather on making a plan to get Romeo out. Natsu and Gray went to their weapons "closet" which was just a small notch in the wall to hide them. Gray and Natsu grabbed two sword and some armor for Wendy to have. The plan was that she would stay safe while they fought. She had no training and would only get in the way. After grabbing the little bits of food that they absolutely needed which was a couple cans of beans and a loaf of bread and they headed out the door, their destination: the mountains where Cait shelter resided.

Levy grabbed the thin rimmed glasses off her face and rubbed the bridge of her nose, "Any other books I can get your Ma 'dam?"

Lucy waved at her with a sour expression, "Don't call me that when we are alone its weird. And no."

The bluenette bookworm threw herself down into a chair with her own personal book and began to read. "Sorry Lucy it's hard to do that. We may be childhood friends but we aren't close enough in status for me to get comfortable around you. Calling you by your real name will cause a mix up in the future. I don't want my head chewed off for that." Levy was wearing a long orange gown with a yellow belt around her waist the fabric was tight enough to show a little bit of her curves but the robe made her look shorter than she already was. Lucy absolutely hated that she wore those outfits.

"We need to get out of this castle and get you more refined clothes Levy, you deserve to look smart and classy. No cleavage-" Lucy bit her tongue to see a very unamused girl staring at her. "Ok you at least need to show off the boobs you do have and the curves you've got."

Before Levy could object a knock came at the study and Jellal stepped in with his normal royal guard wardrobe. The base color of his large coat was very dark blue color with silver accents, it sat tight to his chest with chains on the pockets at the top and on his hips. The tail hit the floor when he stood still, his sword was attached to his hip by a large belt with the royal family's crest on the sheath. The coat was buttoned together but he had a black under wardrobe coupled with black pants and silver armored boots. "Princess I was told you were waiting for me. How can I assist you?"

Levy ogled at the way Jellal looked, who wouldn't? Lucy snapped her fingers to wake her friend up out of her day dream and then gave her knight a courteous smile. "I need your intel. The reports I've gotten have been worrying me."

"Let me go out to gather my information-" Lucy held up her hand and walked over to him, her heels clacking against the tile floors.

Levy hid her face behind her book, pretending that she wasn't there. "I want to go to your intel. Fairy Tail has made themselves known and is sparking a rebellion with the other vigilante groups. One of them I have learned may be eradicated soon. No doubt the others will join in and I need to go there when there are less of them to worry about. You will guide me."

The man crossed his arms, "No. Not happening Princess." His stare wasn't that threatening to her anymore because she knew he would break under her eventually, he was HER knight. "You have duties to the castle here and your schedule is full this upcoming week. His Majesty would behead me if he found out I let you out of the castle."

"I have that covered. I have a double who will take care of all my minor duties."

"Marriage candidates are not minor duties."

"These are all men that I have already ruled out, I need to give them an interview to humor them and keep ties with their families. So they are VERY minor tasks." Lucy got closer to him and crossed her arms under her chest.

She looked him up and down angrily, "You need to take me there. If they will listen to anyone it would be me and the person they've trusted information to."

Jellal sighed, "That's the problem, that organization doesn't know I'm a royal knight Princess. To them I am Mystogan who disappears for long periods of time to help villages. I am not Jellal to them."

Levy stood up this time, "Princess if you go Jellal wouldn't be able to assist you if they decided to attack you."

"They won't attack me they aren't savages. They are scared and fighting and I need them to lay low for their own safety. I am going that's final. Levy call Lisanna to tell her the plan, let Virgo know to watch her and help her at all times. Jellal I need a set of armor to journey with you with until we get to Magnolia and a set of commoner clothes so they won't feel threatened." She knew Jellal since she was small and he treated her like a little sister. She had grown up to be such a headstrong woman though and sometimes he hated that. With a smirk on his face he sighed. Levy had left the room to do as her Princess had ordered.

He ran a white gloved hand through his soft hair and chuckled, "Okay. I'll get you there and I'll watch you from the shadows. If we take Aries with us. She has combat training and her appearance will be less threatening but you will still be protected in case anything happens."

Lucy smiled and lightly punched her knight in the chest, "See was that so hard?"

In the next minute Levy returned with Virgo and Lisanna. "Princess I'm honored to assist you again."

"Lisanna thank you for being my double over all these years."

The white haired female shook her head, "I would do anything for Jellal saving me and you taking me in since I don't have my memories. You saved me from slavery Miss."

Lucy gave her a warm smile, this girl was about the same age as Lucy and her condition when Jellal arrived with her one day was terrible. The poor girl had bruises and cuts all over and barely said a word. She had been a slave since she could remember around the age of 6 and couldn't remember anything before that. Jellal was almost the same way, he was taken in by Lucy's mother when she visited an area around Magnolia, the royal guard had busted a child slavery organization and Jellal was so young my mother felt terrible for all the children and rehomed them, some fled in fear but Jellal had come up to her specifically to ask to be part of the guard, his intricate and red scar of the brand they put over his eye making her almost burst into tears.

"Momma your back!" A young Lucy ran in her dress down the hallway, her mother held out her hand politely to let her daughter know that it was not ok to run. Lucy quickly adjusted herself and walked one foot at a time, not quiet getting the rhythm down just yet to "glide" across the floor. When she finally made it over she bowed to her mother who bowed back and they both excitedly shared a hug.

Layla put her daughter down and came to eye level, "Lucy I have someone I need you to meet. Please be courteous." Lucy nodded and couldn't wait to find out who it was.

Just like back then Jellal stood with confidence, he stepped out from behind the Queen and bowed, "Princess it is an honor."

Lucy smiled at him and then noticed his scar. She slowly walked over and put her tiny hand on one of the lines. He flinched at first and she pulled away, "Does it hurt still?"

"Not anymore, it's just sensitive."

She didn't really get what he meant so she kissed the palm of her hand and placed it gently on his face, "Pain pain go away, pain pain fly away." Jellal couldn't help but laugh and he bowed to her one more time.

"Thank you Princess it feels so much better."

Jellal would always appreciate the Queen's kindness and saw a lot of her love in Lucy's eyes. "Lisanna do your best. I will be taking my leave to prepare everything." He turned and began to walk out on his own giving slight head bows to everyone as he passed.

Lucy sighed, "Man he needs to lighten up."

Levy shook her head, "I can't believe you got him to agree Ma 'dam."

"Lucy!"

Levy sighed, "Lucy."

Virgo extended her hand, "Mistress Lucy rarely ever gets rejected. Personally I think he is too soft on her."

Everyone nodded in agreement and Lucy huffed, "Hey I am a Princess don't undermine me!" She whined and all of them laughed together.

A dark shadow stretched across a large plain, the moonlight shown on a tall and dark hearted figure. In the distance was the town that Cait Shelter resided in, the trees surrounding it almost had the place hidden at the edge of the mountain. "I almost want to do this for free." The deep a beast like voice grumbled.

A curvy and peculiar girl walked up behind him, dark clouds now covering the moon and rain pouring behind them. "Gajeel must wait and Juvia will enforce that rule."

"Yeah right rain woman I can take you." He gave a half grin toward her and crossed his muscled arms, the wind from the clouds above started to blow his black hair around and caused his metal piercings to feel cold on his face.

Juvia managed to nudge him with her elbow, he didn't move but she didn't care. "Juvia will set up a camp, the money should be here tomorrow."

"Gihi, I can't wait."
