Lucy smiled in excitement as she boarded the train with the other female members of Fairy Tail. The boys were going to be joining them tomorrow, when the pageant starts. She found an empty spot and sat with Levy next to her and Mira and Erza sitting in front of her. "So Lucy, are you excited for the pageant?" Mira asked enthusiastically. Lucy nodded. "Of course! I can't wait to get there!" She glanced at Levy. "Hey, Levy, where's all of your luggage?" Levy smiled. "I didn't have room in here since Erza took up most of the space, so it's in another cart." Erza smiled, glancing at them ."You can never have too many things, a woman should never be unprepared." she said confidently.

A couple seats away, Lisanna, Juvia, Cana and Bisca were talking eagerly about the pageant. "I'm so excited! I really do hope I can get Gray's attention this way." Juvia said, squealing in delight as the train took off. Cana sighed, opening her jacket, which was full of smuggled wine. "Cana! You're not supposed to be drinking on the train!" Bisca said, irritated. Cana ignored her as she took a long drink from the bottle. Juvia continued to rant about her "Darling Gray!" and how they were just "Meant to be!" Bisca grabbed the bottle. "On second thought, you are pretty smart lady, ya know that?" She said, taking a drink from the bottle. Lisanna was staring out the window, ignoring everyone as she day dreamed about Natsu cheering her on.

Romeo squirmed in his seat, sitting next to Carla and Wendy. "So, what's your name?" Wendy asked innocently. "Ro-I mean...R-Ramona!" he said in a higher pitched voice. The guys found out about him entering, so they borrowed a dress and a wig, Loke being nice enough to take care of the beauty part. Wendy smiled. "Well, I'm Wendy! And this is Carla! I hope we both have fun at the event!" Romeo nodded. "y-yeah…"

The train ride lasted for a few hours before they all arrived at Carmilla station. Their bags were taken off the train as they walked to the high-class hotel all of the female guests would be staying at. There were women from all over Fiora, from lower guilds to just simple people who wanted to enter the contest. All of the Fairy Tail women grabbed their bags and found their rooms.

Levy and Lucy were sharing a room, Mira and Cana, Bisca and Erza, Lisanna and Juvia and finally Wendy and 'Ramona'. They all eagerly went into the rooms to get things set up.

Lucy and Levy were both putting their things in the closet and getting outfits set up for the events. "I'm so excited!" Lucy said in delight. Levy nodded. "Me too! I don't think I will win...but I don't mind!" Lucy smiled to Levy. "Oh, come on! You have as good as a chance as anyone else here! I'm sure you will place in the top ten at least!" Levy nodded ."yeah….maybe…"

Mira didn't have much luggage, she liked to travel light. Cana on the other hand...Most had bottles with her. Mira sighed. "You should really take care of that drinking habit of yours." Cana looked up at her. "Maybe you should take care of that loud mouth of yours. It's three in the afternoon and this is my first bottle of rum. I have a headache." she said with irritation in her voice. Mira only smiled, laughing a little. "Alright, I'll leave you be for now."

Bisca could help but shake her head as she watched Erza unpack. "Erza….why do you have so much stuff with ya if you can just requip your outfit?" she asked in confusion. Erza looked over at her. "It makes it feel more like a vacation, do you have a problem with it?" she asked in a dangerous tone. "N-Not at all!"

Juvia was covering her bed in all of her Gray plushies and pillows, most of which were hand made. She was quietly talking to herself. "Gray will surely fall in love with me!" Lisanna ignored her as she unpacked her own things, smiling. She was sure to win Natsu's love! She would not be bested by some blonde bimbo!

Romeo kept his head down as Wendy and Carla unpacked their bags. Carla glanced at Romeo. "Aren't you going to unpack your bags?" He nodded quickly, hanging up some of his stuff. He was nervous about sharing a room with her, after all, Wendy was his crush. He would never admit it, but he admired Wendy. She was strong, smart and brave...and she could use magic! No one else his age could do that, not even himself. He laid on his bed after unpacking and quickly fell asleep, exhausted.

Lucy watched her friends with amusement. After they had finished unpacking they had went out to eat. Except for Ramona as she was already sleeping like the dead. Mira and Erza were bickering to Cana about her drinking, while Levy was trying to convince Juvia she did not have a crush on Gray. No matter where they went they were always bickering. After dinner the group headed back to Levy and Lucy's room. "I'm not surprised you guys chose to hang out here. It's like deja vu with my apartment back at home." Lucy said exasperated. Suddenly she heard a gasp. "Oh my God Lucy what is this?" Erza said as she picked up a pair of Lucy's underwear. "It looks like just a random scrap of fabric." Mira laughed. "Hey! Give them back!" Lucy squealed in embarrassment. "Is this the kind of clothing my rival wears to attract my Gray?" Juvia wondered to herself. "I must observe and adapt to win my love's affection!" "Guys seriously stop going through my things! It is a serious invasion of privacy!" Lucy yelled blushing scarlet red. "Don't you guys think it is time to turn in for the night?" Lucy asked. "We have a big day tomorrow!" "Yeah" Wendy giggled "We need to take a page out of Ramona's book, she is already sleeping." "Alright everyone back to your own rooms. Its time for bed!" "Yes captain Erza!" Everyone said as they got up and left.
