Levy stacked papers and books into her case, she was finally going to earth. She'd researched every paper, cross referenced every book and memorised every detail.

"Jellal, could you pass me the blank journals?"

"Sure." Jellal packed the blank papers into the case.

"I wish I could go with you!" Meledy pouted. "Couldn't I just sneak out?"

"No because your mother would kill me." Jellal ruffled her pink hair.

"Ultear wouldn't do that," Melody paused, "Actually she would."

"I think thats all the research on Earth and habitats we need," Jellal said placing another stack of books in the case.

"Great, I'm gonna meet Lu chan for lunch, you should probably go pack your things." Levy locked the case and walked towards the canteen.

Lucy hopped around her room, trying to figure out what to pack. Much to her dads annoyance she had agreed to go to Earth with the research team.

*A week earlier*

"Dad, you can't send my best friends to Earth and not me!"

"Princess! I can't lose you, like your mother."

"She died from oxygen deprivation! And a lot more are going to if we don't get to earth."

Lucy looked at her keys, she had never conjured her spirits on Earth, only in battle simulations in the dome. She was excited, but scared at the same time.

"My Lady, you were supposed to meet miss Levy for lunch." Capricorn brought Lucy out of her daze.

"Right, thank you Capricorn." Capricorn went back to the spirit world.

"Thought you'd forgotten for a moment." Levy looked up from her book as her friend sat down with a bowl of soup.

"Last lunch on the dome? Wouldn't miss it for the world." Lucy grinned.

"That reminds me, Wendy asked if you could pin down Gray for her."

"Still won't take his shots?"

"Nope," Wendy sat down with her tray, "big baby."

"Aren't there any real men on this ship." Evergreen sighed as she walked past with the rest of the special forces. Pantherlily broke off from the group to sit next to Levy and Wendy.

"If you want to pin him down, he's in the communication centre with Jet and Droy." Lily sipped his tea as if he hadn't just condemned Gray to 13 needles.

*20 minutes later*

"No, please." Gray squirmed as the 4 mages pinned him down so Wendy could give him his shots, Jet and Droy took his legs , while Lucy and Levy took his arms.

"Gray, don't make us call your Ultear!" Lucy kicked him in the ribs as he recoiled in horror.

"How are we going to survive on an uninhabited planet if you can't handle a tiny needle?" Levy released Gray's arm.

"Oh stop pouting." Lucy sighed.
