Let's Recap- The Beginning, Chapter 5.

Ultear put a hand on her lips. "Hohoho. You want to investigate?"

"Well ofcourse. I'm finished with my other investigation. Why not?"

We grinned. Meredy came up.

"Something tells me that Jellal's life is about to become a lot harder."

Oh Yes. Yes It is.


I straightened up my Living room. After the past expedition I had gotten a crazy bunch of pictures. Before I left I had grabbed his camera and had an MTS card. They really are useful. They're portable. Small. And they can get Easy Data. Memory, Transfusion, And Scanning. A lot of people who don't use card magic still carry them, though. I put a lot of them on my wall in remembrance. He took pictures of everyone. I didn't even neglect to put the one with Me and I learned his name was Bacchus. Well. I already knew it after she started saying what his name was. He learned. I especially like the one of me and my father drinking together. I grinned at it.

"Ohohoho"Ultear walked in. Huh?

"Come On! We need to Begin!"

She grabbed my hand and walked to the door. She locked it herself.

"Gotta remember to do that. I feel like we'll find him. Walk faster dear."

"A'ight! Jeez!" After a while we entered Main street. "I didn't think we would start this early."

"Yes. I was watching last night and noticed that a lot of people left. Including those two."

I had noticed. Ofcourse it was only natural for the bride and groom to leave but others just started going as well. "Ever since I've been trying to find him. They must've snuck out somewhere far. You don't have a card for him, do you?"

I shook my head. "Maybe he's at the guild."

She gave me a bogus look. "He could have been actually injured with all that ruckus we had last night."

She sweat dropped. "You're right. Even I got caught up in it. I threw a chair at Gray and the Dancer guy. Both separate cases."

I thought of Ultear with her long hair throwing a chair at gray with a anger mark on her forehead. Main Street was full of people. The marketing had just started as well. "Wanna Transport?"

She nodded. "I heard it was Awesome."

I took out the card and pulled us in an alley. We arrived under a table in the library. She sat up and bumped her head. "Oww! What the hell!"

She looked around. "We're under a Table."

I shrugged. "Had to put it somewhere."

She pushed a chair back and we climbed out. Suddenly Levy was rushing through. "Oh Cana! Its Crazy!"

"What Happened?"I asked.

"Mira. Somethings wrong with Mira! She's unconscious."

I ran downstairs. They say the quickest way to a woman's heart is What you say. I don't know why I thought this as I went to the correct wing. I only brushed past Natsu. "I don't smell Anything on her. Its like her scent was almost Erased."

She lay Pale and unmoving. It almost made me want to go nuts. Mira was always moving. Whether she's angry or just being normal. Even doing modeling she could never stay in that pose for very long but this. She was Barely breathing.

"Does anybody know what happened to her?"

"No. Wendy is supposed to be here in a little bit." Gajeel said from his crossed arms state. I went back out wordlessly. Maybe it was Bethel. But why would she do that? They used to be besties. Ultear stood there.

"It'd be good to ask Macao, Wakaba, or maybe Kinana."

My stomach had dropped. Not like I was about to puke but it just . . . Dropped.

"Hi. I was wondering if y'all had seen Jellal around here. Or maybe if he's left with Erza."

"Hmmm. Nope"Wakaba said. Macao looked Dopy.

"Why ya' looking for 'Im?" Macao asked.

"Just a little research."I smirked then ushered Ultear along.

"Hey. Kinana. Have you seen Jellal? Or Erza?"

"No. They left around 12. 12:30 though. I remember because Erza said she was leaving then Romeo asked why she went to bed so early and Bacchus said because her Armor has a curfew or something like that and she knocked him out. While I was helping him Jellal followed her."

Hmmm. Suspicious enough. I turned to leave. "Oh. Cana. You're leaving. We still have plenty of drink from last night. Would you like a bottle to go."

"No."Everyone around was stunned at my answer. So stunned someone dropped their cup. The crash surrounded the quiet room. The guild is almost never quiet. I walked towards the door. Opened it and Closed it. Stepping outside I immediately felt the chilling wind. Despite the sunny weather I put my hands in my pockets and began walking. To an unknown destination. After a while Ultear joined me. "You know they're still quiet in there right."

"Yeah. I think that's the first time I Ever turned down a drink."

Her brows reached her forehead.

"Are You Serious? Not even when you're not at Fairy tail?"

I nodded. "Off of me, we don't have Any leads at all. In my last investigation it was kinda coincidental that I had saw them outside a shop."

I could tell she wanted to ask me why I refused the drink. The wind picked up. I wanted to answer that question. She said she'll be back tomorrow. After we parted ways I looked up. If only I could answer the question.


I despise the toilet. Looking dully at my surroundings I laid against the wall waiting for the next one to come. Maybe I had made a mistake. I haven't had a drink since yesterday's revelation. I also haven't been to the guild since the revelation. I dunno how I feel. I've had 24 hours to think about it and all I can come up with is 'I have to Puke.' Cleaning the system. Of Years and Years of Alcohol. I haven't had a day like this since some of the first few years I started drinking. So its been years. The next door neighbors shut their front door. Just that one sound made it feel like hot rocks and needles piercing my brain. What is today. Sunday. No. Monday. I think. I winced at the sound of another door shut. I would get up and go take some medicine or make some Hangover FunLick but I honestly am too tired to even Move out of the bathroom. I felt lightheaded and started to feel the disgusting liquid come up Again. I am starting to Hate this toilet. Maybe I should change the color. Go buy a new one or something . . . Naah. Its fine. Plus I'm going to dislike that toilet more because I would have spent all of that money to buy the toilet and all I would do Is puke in the thing.

"I wish. Arigato wo. Chouto. . ."

I like that song. I really can't Jump at all though and all I'm doing is pumping out more puke. My stomach growled. Great. I laid down ignoring the sound.


I stood. Felt a little better.

"After spending all day and half the night by the toilet I finally feel free."I said it aloud. Feels good to finally beat it. I walked with a hand on the wall to the kitchen. Drinking reduces my appetite by quite a lot. I looked to see a few items. One being some kind of Pie. Some canned soup. And Popcorn. Sounds like a great meal.

I knew I had done something incredibly stupid once I had done it but I did do it. After eating I took a shot. A shot. I couldn't believe the after affects I had. I ended up running back here. So now I'm in the same place and position as I was Hours ago. Lucky Me. That was a while back and if this last bit would leave me I think I can go long enough to straighten up and visit Mira. See if she's awake. We can only hope though. Why didn't I make myself a Hangover

FunLick when I had the chance. Baaakkkaa!

I walked in the guild. Everyone seemed to be busy with what not. I made sure to avoid Super Talkative ones and walked the stairs with rigid steps. The room had been left alone because it was quiet. I walked in to see Bethel. Her tall frame stood leaning on a wall. I shut the door and gave the room a lookover. Get well letters and cards were all over the place. Bethel was in a green shirt and black slacks.

"I knew it was you before you came in so its good."She poked Mira's face. "Pinkie say she's had a malfunction with her Magic and her body somehow and it caused her body to shut down except for her brain. Bluey added that she may or may not have amnesia due to the fact that they don't know what triggered the malfunction."

Bluey . . . Wendy. Pinkie . . . Natsu.

"Not the idiot. The dragon lady."

Oh. How did she know she was a dragon or whatever she is. "Good Shit! What happened to you?"She looked at me. "I'm telling you. I've only been back for a week and everybody's going down the drain. You really don't look good Pale, Cana." She rambled on. Good shit? I laughed and ran to the bathroom. Definitely that last bit. A lot of it was water. I made sure to flush and brought out some mints downing most of the pack.

"Are You Pregnant?"

"Gods no! I haven't had that kind of exercise in about three months ago. I'll have to fix that later. My body is just catching up with the hangovers I'm supposed to have had."

She nodded. "Very unhealthy. I would start planning those days. We can't have you looking like that."

She walked to the window. "On that note. Tell her to see me when she finishes healing."

She jumped. The curtains lifted behind her and suddenly Levy was opening the door. "Hey- Oh God!"

She grabbed my arm. "You look like you need a nurse yourself. All you need is to pull you hair out of that Ponytail and you'll look like the Ghost of The Last Road. Hurry up."

For a small woman you would never guess the strength.

"When was the last time you ate? Better yet, when was the last time you had a drink?"

Gajeel walked in the room. "I can almost smell your distress from m-" he looked at me. "Oh Shit." He ran back out. I looked at myself.

"Do I look that bad?"

"YES!"

Wendy walked in with all her distress. "Who is this, Levy-san?"

"Its Cana!"

Well Damn. I don't feel like anythings wrong with me. Other than puking every couple of seconds. "You blood is ridding itself of the alcohol bit by bit but its causing a little less to go to the digestive system in which the acid levels raise like a normal drug induced Hangover. You just have so much its been doing lots of work, Okay."

I nodded. "Gajeel. May I ask that you bring Cana a well-balanced meal. Tell Kinana I need it."Levy asked. "And I'm not talking about some Iron and a Chicken breast."

He did that weird laugh and left.

"What's going on, now?"Wendy asked. With a hand on her hip like she was My mother. She Is planning on being the Nurse here. Like what Porscula or Porsulcia or whatever her name is, does for us sometimes but instead Wendy will be here with the guild all the time.

"Well. Like. Sunday. When I refused that drink it gave my body outage so I just started puking everywhere. Yesterday I didn't eat Anything. I couldn't get out of the bathroom because of my headache and everything. Then I scrounged up what I could this morning and drank a shot of Brandy. Ended up back in that bathroom. So Then I wanted to see Mira and so I did. No one noticed when I walked in."

"Good Golly. Something about Parties."Levy muttered.

Wendy suddenly perked. "So When are you going to start drinking again?"

"I . . . . Don't know."I said. Wendy just smiled. Somethin' bout Nurses . . Gajeel walked in. With an quick meal is what I call it. I finished it in like 5 seconds.

"Well, then. You look a little better. With some rest and healthy eating habits we can get you looking like normal. You can-"

"Push pause for a second." Levy said. She took the ponytail out. She had to stand on a stool ofcourse. She pulled the hair out of my face but let it stay down in the back.

"See. That looks much better. Now continue."Levy said getting off the stool. Wendy continued. "Go back downstairs now."

"Aye, Sir!"I said walking towards the door. I was still hungry so I decided to stop by the Bar.

"Hello, . . Cana-san?" Lisanna said surprised. "Yeah. I want um. Let's see."I looked around at food choices that other people had. Natsu was eating a chicken on fire. Looked good. Lucy had a strawberry milkshake. Hmm. Romeo had spaghetti. He looks like the type. Gray was in the ice cooler. Food. Focus on Food. I told myself. I saw someone else with a salad and another with a burger. That seems to be enough. "I want whatever Natsu is eating but I want to eat it without the fire, a blueberry milkshake, spaghetti, and a salad. A'Ight."

Lisanna went to the back. I thought for a while. What am I going to do? Mira started it! She's the one who made me refuse the drink in the first place. Hopefully she'll be better soon. Link sat beside me. "What's up?"

"Nothing much. Just chilling. Waiting on my order."

He nodded. Kinana asked him if he wanted Anything. He ordered a Blanches. Blanches is a popular Alcoholic beverage that is made by a Rich Group in the mountains. Its good. Has a beer/ martini/ liquor kinda taste.

"Great Choice."He nodded along with me. "Hey, let me go use the restroom real quick. Can you tell her to just leave it here?" I nodded. Our orders came at the same time about a second or two after he left. I told her to leave it there and started chowing. By the time he came back I had finished the salad and spaghetti and was starting on the chicken.

I tore off a piece. "Did you have a good pee?"

He looked confused at my question. I took a large bite of the chicken while he stared at me. He looked at the two plates on the side. "I don't think I have ever seen Cana eat this much."

Jesus. Control your magic, boy.

"Actually. I think this is the first time I've seen her eat over just a Chicken leg." Kinana said.

"I haven't Ever seen her eat. I've only seen her drinking." A little boy said. His name is Threat Teboin. "Its Te-Bo-In, right kid?"

The kid nodded. I got on his level with my chicken. "I'm not Drinking at All until MiraJane gets better."

"Ms. Mira?"

"Yep."

I heard Natsu in the background. "Hold up. Is she Serious?"

I took a chunk out of the chicken and stuck it in his mouth before he could ask a million questions about it.

I stood. "Yes! I'm not Drinking until Mira is all better."


This one wasn't all that humorous but I have plans for the next few. With Erza. Or Jerza. Geheh. I love my Wendy. She's so swag. Lol. I should make her character rounder then. Thanks for Reviews and Likes. Smileys.
