"Who are they?" Edolas Lucy asked as she grew tired of their arguing over something called flub.

"Some travelers that were caught up in this mess." Carla said.

"Hey, Natsu." Edolas Lucy called.

"What?" Natsu asked as he turned his attention away from the trio.

"Are we taking them with us or what?" She asked.

"Yeah, we can't just leave them here." Natsu replied.

"Alright." She said as she took a step towards the trio. "Listen up!" She said and caught their attention. "You guys are coming with us but I don't want to hear ANY arguing, understood?"

The trio exchanged glances.

"I can't hear you." She threatened.

"Understood." The three mumbled.

She smirked in victory. "Follow me." She said and headed off eastwards.

"She kind of scares me." Aniela whispered.

"Everything scares you." Crash responded.

"Like heights." Nahtanoj pitched in.

Aniela glared at them. "You guys are such butts." She said with a sigh. "Too bad neither of you have one." She said and held back her laughter. Natsu burst into laughter, interrupting whatever Crash and Nahtanoj were gonna say. Aniela also started laughing and high-fived Natsu in the process.

"Shut up! It's not like you have one either!" Nahtanoj yelled.

Aniela and Natsu ignored his comment and kept on laughing like the idiots they were.

"I swear... I'm surrounded by idiots." Crash mumbled.

"Aye!" Happy chimed as he joined Natsu and Aniela.

"They're not complete idiots..." Wendy said in their defense.

"Yes, they are." Nahtanoj and Crash said at the same time.

"How can you say that when you don't know Natsu personally?" Carla challenged.

"If he laughed at that joke, then yes I'm almost positive he's an idiot." Crash said.

"Besides, we know him better than you'd expect." Nahtanoj said.

Wendy and Carla exchanged confused glances.

"Are you guys done laughing yet?" Lucy asked in an annoyed tone of voice.

"Hmmm... What do you think Natsu?" Aniela asked.

Natsu scratched his chin and looked off into the distance. "I don't know, Happy?"

"Aye!" Happy chimed.

"The cat has decided!" Aniela said. "All hail the magic conch!" Aniela said as she threw her arms in the air."

"Magic conch?" Natsu questioned.

"Erm..." Aniela said as she let her hands fall to her side. "Right...these guys don't know what Spongebob is..." She looked back at Crash and Nahtanoj for help but they were too busy talking to notice. She sighed and looked back over at Natsu. "It's an inside joke."

"What's an inside joke?" Happy asked.

"This might take awhile." She thought.

"Magic was traded commonly until recently." Edolas Lucy said as the gang walked the the town of Luen. "But... The kingdom started to hunt down guilds. Now, magic trading is banned too. It's an offense that even if you're carrying it."

"Huh, it's an offence just by carrying it..." Natsu repeated as he crossed his arms.

"What happens to the people who naturally being to use it?" Wendy asked.

Edolas Lucy paused for a moment. "Wha... they could just give up on it right? More importantly, what do you mean by 'people who naturally being able to use magic?'" She asked as Natsu and Wendy exchanged glances.

Aniela sighed. "Do we really have to listen to what they're saying?" She asked.

"No." Crash replied.

"But it would be helpful." Nahtanoj said.

"But I already know all this stuff." She whined.

"Then don't listen." Crash said.

Aniela sighed and crossed her arms.

"We're here." Edolas Lucy said. "There's a magic black market in the basement we'll need it if we're traveling.

"A black market...?" Wendy said a bit terrified.

"It can't be helped but we need to follow the rules of this world to use magic." Natsu said with a smile.

"Aye!" Happy chimed.

"You have fast... adaptation." Carla mumbled.

"Oh! Oh! Does that mean we get magic tools too!" Aniela beamed. "Can we get magic tools?! Please! Please! Please! Can we?" She said as she pulled at Edolas Lucy's arm.

"It would be pretty cool if we could get some magic tools." Nahtanoj said.

"Yeah, and if we get separated by some tragic event we could maybe protect ourselves." Crash said as he tried to convince the mages.

"Alright! Alright!" Edolas Lucy said.

"Yes!" Aniela said and fist pumped the air.

"Alright, come on." Edolas Lucy said as they headed into the building.

The gang managed to get their hands on some pretty decent magic tools, sad part is, none of them knew how to use them. Once they were done they headed to the cafe to get something to eat. Natsu was telling Edolas Lucy what she was like back on Earhtland and Edolas Lucy found it pretty funny. Wendy was fiddling with her magic tool, trying to figure out how to use it and so was Aniela.

"Didn't she say magic was banned?" Crash asked when he noticed that Aniela was trying to figure out how to work the small metallic sphere in her hand.

"Yeah." Aniela replied.

"Then wouldn't it be smart to put that away?" He asked.

"Probably." She said but continued to mess with it. "But, meh."

Nahtanoj facepalmed. "Baka."

"And proud." Aniela said as she stopped for a moment to take a sip of her drink. "Hey." Aniela whispered as she leaned in closer towards her friends. "Doesn't the Royal Army show up around this time?"

"Yeah, what of it?" Crash asked.

"Nothing." Aniela shrugged and went back to messing with the sphere.

"There they are! Block the exits of the town!" Someone yelled.

"The Royal Army?!" Edolas Lucy said as she looked at the soldiers.

"Well, so much for eating." Aniela said as she stood up.

"You must be a mage of the Fairy Tail! Do not move!"

"We've been discovered already?!" Carla said.

"Whoaa!" Happy said.

"Alright! Let me try the "magic" out that I just got." Natsu said as he jumped over the table.

"Don't!" Edolas Lucy said in attempt to stop him.

"Move!" Crash said as he pushed his friends out the way.

"FIRE!" Natsu yelled as a huge amount of fire shot out of his magic tool.

"Carla! How do I use it?!" Wendy panicked.

"I don't know!" Carla replied.

"Hah-ha!... ah?" Natsu said as he realized that the Royal Army had used shields. "SHIELDS?!

"...well, I think this is the part where we run." Aniela said.

"Wait for it... wait for it..." Crash said as he looked over at Wendy. A moment later Wendy managed to open her magic tool.

"Aw lawdie." Aniela said just before the whirlwind unleashed itself.

"WHAT DID YOU DO, WENDY?!" Natsu yelled.

"I'M SORRY!" Wendy yelled back.

"MOMMA NOOOO!" Aniela yelled.

"WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO US?!" Nahtanoj yelled.

"GAH!" Crash yelled.

Eventually the whirlwind stopped and they fell out the sky, much like the trio's previous times.

"I hate you all." Aniela groaned as she sat up.

"We hate you too." Crash said.

"Hush!" Edolas Lucy said as she dragged the gang into a small barn/shed.. A few minutes later, there were guards scrambling around the city in attempt to find them.

"Okay, here's the plan." Aniela whispered to Nahtanoj and Crash. "We don't use our magic thing-a-meh-things until we know what we're doing."

"And when will we know what we're doing?" Nahtanoj asked.

"Never." Crash replied.

"I was gonna say some day but I like Crash's answer better." Aniela said.

"We fooled them somehow but we can't get out of the town like this." Edolas Lucy said.

"How inconvenient the magic in this world is." Natsu mumbled.

"I agree." Wendy said.

"I second that thought." Nahtanoj said. Crash and Aniela nodded their heads in agreement.

"What should we do?" Happy asked as he laid sprawled out on the ground.

"Isn't there any other exit?" Carla asked.

"It's not easy..." Edolas Lucy said.

"HERE THEY ARE! IT'S FAIRY TAIL!"

The gang froze and stared at the door, waiting for someone to come barging in, but no one did.

"Oh, wait!" Aniela said but soon after got a hand smacked over her mouth.

"Will you ever learn to shut up?!" Crash whispered.

"Sorry." Aniela mumbled. "I just remembered something."

"The whole Lucy thing, we know." Nahtanoj whispered as the others peeked outside the barn door.

"Lucy?!" Natsu said.

"Me?!" Edolas Lucy said.

"Why's Lucy here..." Happy asked.

"Wh-what's happening?!" Carla asked as they watched the scene.

"I've got to help her out!" Natsu said as he ran towards Earthland Lucy.

"Hey!" Edolas Lucy yelled.

"Soo... I think this is also the part where we run." Aniela said as she dusted the hay off her pants.

"I think all the parts are the parts where we run." Nahtanoj said.

"That's such a drag." Crash groaned.

"I missed you guys!" Earthland Lucy said as she ran over to the group.

"Wait, for it." Aniela said.

"Four... three... two... one..." Nahtanoj counted down.

"And cue royal army!" Crash said as a group of soldiers ran towards them.

"Don't let them get away! Capture them!"

"Natsu! Take care of them!" Earthland Lucy demanded.

"We can't use our magic." Natsu replied.

"Eh?!" She replied.

"You! Why can you use it!" He yelled.

"I don't know!" She yelled back.

"Lucy! Please!: Happy begged.

"You got to defeat them!" Carla yelled.

"Lucy-san you're the only one that can use magic!" Wendy said.

"Perhaps, am I the strongest now?" Lucy asked as she put her hands on her hips.

"Gah!" Nahtnaoj, Crash, and Aniela growled as they all face palmed.

"Open! The door to the Ram! Aries!" Lucy yelled as she summoned the spirit.

"Fluffy!" Happy chimed.

"Aries! Can you beat them?" Lucy asked.

"Y-yes! I'll try." Aries said as she moved her arms up and down. "Wool Bomb!"

"The flip?!" Aniela said as she watched as the whirlwind of wool swept the soldiers away. "Since when can she do that?!"

"Since forever, now come on." Crash said as they ran away.

"More running?" Nahtanoj groaned.

"Yup, well, guess who's gonna lose all this flub!" Aniela chimed.

"We are." Nahtanoj and Crash responded in a dull choir.

"Gah, so much running." Aniela complained as she plopped down on the ground.

"Bikes, we should invest in some." Crash said as he sprawled on the ground not too far from her.

"Or cars." Nahtanoj suggested as he also sprawled onto the ground.

"Do you guys remember what happens after this?" Aniela asked.

"Uhm, something about Edolas Natsu." Crash replied.

"Doesn't something happen before then?" Nahtanoj asked.

"Sighnessness, we really need to go back and reread it." Aniela said.

"Reread what?" Earthland Lucy asked.

"Uhm... a book..." Aniela replied as she looked off to her side.

"Wait, who are these people anyway?" Earthland Lucy asked.

"They were some travelers that were caught up in this mess." Natsu replied.

"Aye! I was almost strangled by the girl!" Happy chimed.

"I don't think that's something to be glad about..." Wendy mumbled.

"Hehe... Sorry, Happy." Aniela apologized.

"How did you guys manage to get separated from the city?" Carla asked.

"We don't really know ourselves." Crash replied as he sat up. "We were trying to come up with some theories but we didn't get very far."

"What did you come up with?" Earthland Lucy asked.

The trio exchanged a quick glance and nodded slightly.

"Nothing." Crash shrugged.

The Fairy Tail gang noticed something suspicious and they also shared an exchange of glances.

"Something doesn't fit quite right." Carla said as she stared at the strange trio.

"Where are you guys from?" Wendy asked in attempt to be friendly.

The trio exchanged another glance.

"Some place called Alabama." Aniela replied.

"Alabama?" Lucy asked as she raised an eyebrow. "I've never heard of such a place."

"Is that in a different country?" Natsu asked.

"Yeah, it's really far away." Nahtanoj said.

"But you guys don't care about little old us." Crash said before the Fairy Tail gang could ask anymore questions. "I mean you guys are Fairy Tail!"

"Yeah! Why don't you guys tell us about yourselves!" Aniela pitched in.

"What do you guys do in your spare time?" Nahtanoj asked.

"And does Gray really have a bad habit of striping?" Crash asked.

"Does Erza beat you guys up?" Aniela asked.

"Do you like potatoes?" Nahtanoj asked.

"How epic is Gildarts?" Crash asked.

"Is Happy going to grow taller?" Aniela asked.

And thus the bombarding of questions they already knew the answers to began. It was just a way to distract the Fairy Tail gang from asking them questions. They weren't quite sure why they were so reluctant to say where they were from but at the moment it seemed like a good choice, or at least they got back to Earthland.

"Okay, okay, enough with the questions!" Edolas Lucy said as she stood up.

The trio clamped their mouth shuts in fear that she might throw something at them.

Edolas Lucy let out a sigh. "Alright, let's get going before it gets dark."
