Last night I had a difficult time trying to sleep. The cave was ice cold, but then I felt Gajeel curl up next to me. I didn't want to run the moment by telling him that I was awake. When I woke up this morning he was already gone.

"Mornin' Shrimp. Gotcha some fruit for breakfast. But we are burning daylight eat it on the way." He tossed me a mango and walked back out the cave.

"Thank you again for waiting." I said sarcastically to no one in particular. Taking a bite of my mango I once again trailed behind Gajeel.

We ended up climbing another quarter of the mountain but we were no closer to finding the missing rabbit. Along the way I heard Gajeel mumble something about rocks.

"Can we take a break?" I spoke breaking the silence. I could sense a "No." coming on from Gajeel so I walked over to the closest tree and sat down, giving him no choice but to take a break. It's a good thing I choose to sit under a tree because soon after the rain started to fall hard.

For the first time since I got rejected, I welcomed the silence. Internally, I sighed. Why couldn't I be like normal people who got rejected? What do normal people even do when they get rejected? I imagine they eat loads of junk food and read their favorite sappy romance books. Well, that's what I would/could be doing right now. If only Gajeel hadn't dragged me on this stupid job.

Just as I was about to complain a twig snapped loudly to the left of us. We braced ourselves and prepared to fight. Instead of facing danger, we found ourselves facing two (seemingly) helpless women.


Gajeel

Why do these women smell so familiar?
