" Wait a minute. " Erza counted the people in the room. " Where's Cana?! "
" Wait, I thought she was with you guys. " Lucy said, feeling worried. Erza shook her head.
" Where do you think she is? " Mira asked.
" I don't know, but we have to find her! " Erza said. " Lucy, you stay here with Natsu. " Lucy nodded. " Let's go. "
They all left the hotel, searching for Cana.
With Gray and Juvia:
" So, how are you feeling now? " Gray asked, glancing at Juvia, who blushed lightly.
" Juvia is much better, thanks to Gray. " she said. Gray nodded.
" I'm glad you are. I was getting worried because I thought you were sick or something. " Juvia's eyes widened. Gray was worried about Juvia? Juvia feels loved! she grinned widely. Gray looked at her wierdly.
" So uh, Gray? " Gray looked at her curiously. " Do you like Lucy? " she asked.
" What? No, I only like her as a friend. We're pretty close to each other but we have a brotherly-sisterly relationship. " Juvia looked down and nodded.
" Is something wrong, Juvia? " she looked up, a blush on her cheeks.
" No, Juvia is fine. "
" So, are you and Lucy best friends or something? " Gray asked.
" Yes, Juvia met Lucy back in 5th grade. Juvia was the new student at Mavis High and Lucy was the first person to befriend Juvia. " Gray smiled.
" That's cool. I transfered there 2 years ago. It's nice in there, I've met a few friends, one of them was Lucy, but we met last year and I had no idea she was going there. " he said.
" Does Gray like someone? " Gray was surprised from the question. He scratched the back of his head.
" Well, there were girls who would flirt with me, but they weren't my type. " Juvia looked down. " However, there is one girl I started to like. " she looked up at him to see him blushing. " You can call it love at first sight. " her eyes widened and she blushed furiously. Who could it be? Does Juvia knows this girl Gray likes?
Before she could ask him, Gray's phone rang. He answered it. " Talk to me. "
" Gray, have you seen Cana around? " he heard Mira's voice from the other line.
Gray blinked. " Who? " then it hit him. " Ooh, you mean that brown-haired chick? No, why, did something happen? "
" Well, we kinda... lost her. "
Gray blinked again. " What do you mean lost her? "
" Well, it appeared she wasn;t with us this whole time. Well, she was it us when we gathered in the hotel before leaving but we didn't notice her gone. Please, help us find her. "
Gray cursed under his breath. " Alright then, I'll call you later. "
" Thank you so much, Gray. Later. " she hung up.
" What is the matter Gray? " Juvia looked at him worried. Gray looked at her.
" Your friend, Cana, went missing. " her eyes widened and she gasped.
" But how is it possible? " Gray shook his head.
" I don't know how, but we have to find her. " Juvia nodded and they both started searching for Cana.
With Gajeel and Levy:
Levy was asleep in Gajeel's arms while he was walking back tob the hotel. His phone rang and he cursed under his breath. He quickly answered it without making noise so he wouldn't wake up Levy.
" Yeah? "
" Gajeel, have you seen Cana around? " Lisanna asked him from the other line. Gajeel noted she sounded worried.
" Who? " Lisanna signed.
" The brown-haired girl. She was with us when we gathered all in the hotel. "
Gajeel blinked. " Oh, well no. Why? "
" She's gone missing and we don't know where she is. " she said. Gajeel growled quietly.
" Alright, alright, I'll try to find her. Since she is Levy's friend. "
" Speaking of which, how is she? " he looked down at her sleeping form.
" She's alright. We made up so you could say we're friends now. "
" Oh, what a relief. I'm so proud of you. Anyway, I'll be going now, call me if you found her. "
" Yeah, got it. " he hung up. " Great, where did she had gone missing now? " he walked and looked around. It was too crowded, it will be hard to find her. " Damn it. " He suddenly stopped when something, or more like someone, caught his eye. he walked towards the person who was leaning on a brick wall. He looked up at the place, it looked like it was some bar called Lightning King. Huh, what a weird name. He looked down at the person and saw it was a woman with long brown hair holding a bottle of beer. Hey, isn't that... he was cut off when Levy groaned and slowly opened her eyes.
" Gajeel? " she looked around. " Are we at the hotel? "
" Naw. I got a phone call and told me that your friend, Cana, was missing. " Levy's eyes widened. She gripped his shirt.
" What?! But how? Where is she? We have to find her! "
" Calm down! We're lucky we found her. There she is. " he pointed towards Cana, who did not move an inch. Levy quickly ran to her and kneed in front of her.
" Cana, wake up! " she shook her shoulders. After a few try outs, her eyes opened slowly and she groaned, holding her head.
" Aw, man. I have a horrible headache. " she looked up and saw Levy looking at her with worry and relief written on her face and Gajeel looking at her with his arms crossed and a bored look on his face.
" Levy, Gajeel? What are you doing here? " Cana asked confused.
" We should ask you the same thing! Look at you, you are a mess! " Cana's hair and clothes were messy.
Cana shook her head. " I don't know, I can't remember. "
" Can you at least tell us what happened? " Levy asked.
Cana looked away. " Well, I think it happened back at the hotel. "
Flashback:
" Alright then. I think we should go and explore this place. " Gray said and the others agreed. Cana was about to follow them, when...
" Cana? " Cana looked behind and her eyes widened upon seeing the person in front of her with a big grin on his face.
" Laxus? " she was shocked and happy at the same time. The two teens hugged and laughed. They pulled back. " What are you doing here? I thought you were in Hargeon on a business trip. "
Laxus scratched the back of his head. " Yeah, but I came back a few months ago. Now I'm working here at a bar called Lightning King. I was wondering if you would like to come with me and have a little drink. " Cana blushed and looked away.
" Laxus, I would love to, but I need to go back to my friends. We thought we could explore this place. " Laxus pounted.
" Come on, Cana. No one will notice you are missing. Besides, if you're worried, then you can call them and tell them where you are. " He then gave her the puppy dog face. " Pleaaase¬! "
Cana couldn't resist that face so she signed in defeat. " Alright then. " Laxus yelled 'yes' and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
" Trust me, you'll have the time of your life. " And they both left the hotel.
End of flashback:
" After that, Laxus brought me to this place and I guess I drank too much that I forgot to call you. " she laughed nervously. " Then I remember dancing on a table drunk and later I passed out. When I woke up, I found myself here. " she explained. Gajeel and Levy looked at her without blinking.
Then Levy shook her head. " Wait a minute, so you're telling us that this person, Laxus, who you've known since your childhood, invited you to drink with him and you agreed? " she said shocked. Cana nodded slowly and looked down.
" I'm sorry I made you guys worry about me. I promise I won't go to this place ever again. " Cana promised.
" It's okay. But please, don't do that ever again. And we have to make sure you don't see that guy. " Levy said worridly. She looked at Gajeel. " Gajeel can you hold her, please? "
Gajeel groaned and picked Cana up slowly. He sniffed her and drew his head back in disgust. " Phew! You stink, drunkard. You seriously need a bath. " Cana only glared at him.
" Shut it, metsl head. "
" Come on, you guys. Let's go back to the hotel. I'll call the others to know we found you. " Levy said. " Oh, and you need to slow down on that drinking, Cana. It's not good for you. " Cana pounted but kept quiet as they walked back to the hotel.
