Hello Readers. My name is Mirajane and today I will tell you about the book the Jet and Droy have picked out to sabotage Gajeel and Levy with. Now the book is called 'Memory'. Of course, no one apart from Freed and Levy knows that since it is in a dead language, but here's the thing. The book can show any type of Memory that the holder opens the page on. It can be a happy memory, a sad memory, or something which you don't remember.

It really works with the principal of what the holder considers their category memory. In Natsu's case, the page opened on a memory he did not want to remember. But there are all possibilities to this. Now let's get on with the story.

Levy read the title. 'Memory'. Strange title to a strange name. Jet and Droy almost hesitated a moment before giving Levy the book. They had confirmed their suspicions and knew it worked when they used it to find Droy's most painful memory. As expected, they warped back in time. They saw themselves at the onsen at night when Erza fired her sword at the fence and it landed on Droy's ass. 2 hours passed and they finally returned to their time. Droy was sobbing, but Jet grinned with anticipation. He knew that the book worked. He didn't want his plan to backfire at them, so he said that a client had dropped it off to see if it was cursed.

Levy was about to open the book when suddenly she saw Lily. Without a second thought, she handed the book to Gajeel and took in Lily in her arms. He blushed and purred as Levy cuddled with him. Gajeel felt a tinge of jealousy at seeing Levy cuddling Lily. He wanted to be the one in her arms. He saw the book and read the title. he saw unfamiliar characters as he reached out to open the book.

Jet and Droy panicked as they saw that Gajeel might open the book and tried to move to take it away. Gladly, Lily let out a meow as Levy continued to stroke between his ears. Begrudgingly, he took Lily from her arms and put the exceed on the nearby table. Lily knew that Gajeel liked Levy but would never admit it. He would make him mad by cuddling with Levy and relaxing in her arms, he didn't even have to pretend. Levy giggled as Jet and Droy cringed on seeing Gajeel's reaction on the situation.

Levy read the title out loud and said, "Memory." She opened the first page and read out the instructions. "The holder will be transported to a certain memory they consider to be the most important. Open at your own risk." She proceeded to flip the page as Jet and Droy saw anxiously. They had gathered behind Levy and waited as something happened. Sweat trickled down their foreheads as they waited in anticipation. The tension was thickening by the second.

She flipped the page and read the words out loud. "Milestone." Levy vanished for a brief second before reappearing again. She was all sweating and had a determined look on her face. She turned around and saw Jet and Droy looking at her anxiously as they looked at her in confusion as she told them about how she had just relived the time when her name was announced for the S-class examination. That was an important milestone in her life. She also knew how the book worked.

Based on the memory, you will be awarded a certain time lapse to revisit your memory in the third person. She had relived the moment for 1 hour. She was hiding behind the job boards on the second floor as her name was announced. But she now knew how the curse worked. She opened the same page and saw how her memory slowly started to get typed along with other holders' memories. Gajeel saw her all sweating and asked her what was wrong, considering it wasn't even that hot. He put his elbow over her head as he tried to make out the characters on the book while she huffed at him.

Jet and Droy didn't know what to do. They needed her to get to open the page on 'Trauma'. It surely had to be somewhere. But they knew Levy was the smartest person in the guild. They thought as suddenly the 4 of them heard a noise coming from the opposite corner from where they sat. Before they knew it, Lily was in his battle form and sent flying all the way towards their table, knocking out all 4 of them and himself.

The 5 of them toppled on top of each other as Gajeel lay on the floor, Jet and Droy on top of him as Levy lay above them all. Lily shrunk in size as he fell on Levy's hand holding the book. He wasn't heavy but the force was enough for the book to be jerked out of her hands. They were all incapacitated but conscious as the book touched Gajeel and opened on a page before all 5 of them were warped.

Levy cursed under her breath as she was awoken by being exposed to broad daylight. Gajeel sat next to her while Lily tried to wake up Jet and Droy. She asked Gajeel for the time as he looked around and saw that the street clock said, 8 PM. Levy caught on to his confusion as she got up and realised that moments ago it was only noon. Jet and Droy woke up and saw the trio look around from behind the building where they were hiding. Levy looked around saw the book. She knew what was wrong.

Let's fast forward, shall we? Gajeel, Lily, Jet and Droy sat around a small bonfire as Levy figured it out. All the pages were blank and the conditions were only written for one set of pages. Levy's breath shuddered as she saw the title 'Pain' and Gajeel's name written down. She didn't even notice Gajeel standing behind her as he took in a sharp gasp. Levy had explained everything to them thoroughly and Gajeel knew why his name was written there.

He got up and his body was noticeably shaking. Jet and Droy saw what was going on and Levy asked them while looking at the book. "How much time has passed since we came here?" Jet and Droy shook their heads as Lily answered '1 hour'. 1 more was left. Gajeel started shaking more and he clutched his heart. He was rattling at this point, his breathing had turned ragged, and he was sweating cold.

Levy looked worried about Gajeel's suffering and stood next to him trying to help him. He fell on his knees and Levy started rubbing his back in order to comfort him. He had tears in his eyes as he looked up to her and said in a barely audible voice, "I'm sorry."

Gajeel's statement made Levy more scared and Lily also joined him. He had never seen Gajeel break down so severely before. The 4 of them looked at each other as Gajeel started feeling lightheaded as he fell towards Levy as she put one arm on his shoulder, pulling him into a sideward embrace. Jet and Droy were scared of what was going to happen. They had recognised their location as Magnolia from 7 years back, but couldn't tell why Gajeel was looking so miserable. If it was something that could shake him to his nerves, who knew what it could do to them.

Then they saw it. Gajeel on top of the roof opposite to the street and Team Shadow Gear walking down Magnolia. Gajeel scrunched his eyes shut and desperately tried to cover his ears. Levy pulled Gajeel into a backward embrace, with her holding his large figure. One hand covered his mouth in order to keep him silent. Lily took his battle stance as Jet and Droy spotted and pointed the Gajeel on top of the building roof. Levy sensed her own magic and spotted the 3 of them strolling through the streets. That's when realisation hit her.

At the moment, the 4 of them knew. Gajeel's most painful memory... is the night he attacked Team Shadow Gear.
