Hello! Welcome to this lovely chapter! I hope you enjoy it! :)

"GRAY! PUT ME DOWN!"

"I can't do that."

"AND WHY THE HELL NOT?"

"That's a secret."

"Grrr…" Lucy growled. Right then her stomach grumbled.

"You hungry?"

"A bit." Sighed Lucy, resigned to her fate. As much as she hated to admit it, she was getting used to the insanity that came with Fairy Tail… never mind the events from the past few days. Anyway, Gray produced a bottle out of nowhere and passed it to the hungry blond.

"Here, this'll take the edge off your appetite."

"Thanks Gray…" she said in an annoyed tone, and downed the drink. It tasted vaguely of strawberry and watermelon with hints of raspberries and... and…something else…

"Sweet dreams." Gray smirked as Lucy blacked out.

At the Guild

"Almost…ready… there!" Cana stepped back an admired her work.

"ISN'T ANYBODY THINKING ABOUT WHAT I WANT?"

"No!" roared everybody in the immediate vicinity.

"WHY THE HELL DO I HAVE TO THIS ANYWAY?"

POOF!

"Ah, fudge. That makes it worse, doesn't it?" whispered Lisanna to Max, who nodded solemnly.

"RAWR! AT LEAST LET ME LOOK IN THE MIRROR!"

"HELL NO!" Roared the surrounding mages.

"Why not?"

"No time, we have to go now!" Erza said. "Now saddle up and get going!"

"Urgh!"

Back with Lucy, Some Time Later

Lucy opened her eyes, staring at the way the day light played with the shadows on the ceiling. I don't remember getting home… She thought to herself, when suddenly memory hit her. "Gray." She breathed. "Gray!" Louder this time, but there was no answer. Lucy sat up in bed and took in her surroundings, while it gradually dawned on her that this wasn't her room.

"Well what am I supposed to do now..." she sighed. She threw back the covers and saw that she was wearing the same clothes as before. "At least I know he didn't undress me…" she mumbled.

"Oh, so you're awake?" Gray had noiselessly entered the room.

"Where am I? AND WHY DID YOU BRING ME HERE?"

Gray chuckled as he unzipped his pants. "That's for me to know."

"I'M NOT PLAYING YOUR SICK GAME! AND ANSWER ME, WHERE THE HELL AM I!"

"It doesn't matter, because I have no plans to release you."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE NO PLANS TO RELEASE ME!

"Just as I said."

"LET ME GO!"

"No."

"And why not?" Lucy's voice had taken a low, dangerous tone. Gray said nothing. "I swear to God, Gray, if you do not tell me RIGHT NOW, I will castrate you WITH A GODDAMN SPOON!" Gray mumbled something.

"WHAT?"

"I couldn't take it anymore."

"Huh?" Lucy's anger plunged into puzzlement.

"The way you were with that flame brained IDIOT… He never realized what he had right in front of him, and it..." Gray paused. "Anyway, is doesn't matter now, because you won't be seeing him again."

Lucy just stared at him. "G-Gray… What about Fairy Tail?"

"Hm?" Gray was in process of taking his shirt off.

"YOUR CLOTHE… OH MY GOD!" Lucy gasped in horror. Gray's Fairy Tail symbol, the large one on his chest, had disappeared.

"That's right, I've left Fairy Tail." Gray turned to leave.

"But…But why?"

"If I were you, I wouldn't be thinking about my symbol and would be far more worried about yours." Lucy looked down at her hand and felt tears beginning to well up in her eyes. Her treasured pink insignia was gone as well. "Face it Lucy, you have nowhere else to stay but here."

"You… you fiend. How dare you!" Lucy ran towards Gray, but he closed the door and locked it from the outside. Lucy banged on it, screaming at Gray to let her go.

"I'll be back later, after you've calmed down a bit. You may change into any of the outfits in the closet. As of now they are effectively yours. I'll be back later to take you to dinner." Gray paused, then called through the door again. "Before you get any false hope and start madly searching that room, your keys are nowhere nearby. I've left then at your PREVIOUS home." And with that, his footsteps faded away.

Lucy slid down the door, barely processing that the door was ice cold. She heard someone cry out with despair, and somehow numbly realized that it was her.

Meanwhile, Back at Gajeel's house

Gajeel was laying on the couch, his left arm hanging over the side. He had been trying to take a nap for the past who knows how long, but something was bothering him. He kept attempting to distract himself by thinking about his arm.

If I leave it there, would it get eaten off? He mused to himself, blatantly keeping away from other, specific thoughts. Nah, I can't think of any monster stupid enough to attempt to eat MY arm…except maybe Natsu…

At that the Iron Dragon Slayer smacked himself on the head. "You weren't going to think about THAT, remember?" He said out loud. "You shouldn't let something so trivial bother you! After all, it's not like those idiots matter to you, right?" With a groan he pushed himself up into a sitting position, and stared at his hands. "That's right, they don't matter…"

"Who doesn't matter?"

"KYAAHHHH!" Gajeel jumped up and yelled.

"Did you just say 'Kyah'? asked a sweet faced Levy.

"No, you must have misheard…" responded Gajeel gruffly.

"I don't think so… it was very cute you know."

"I don't do cute."

"I disagree." Levy smiled, sat down onto the couch, and patted the seat next to her. "Now tell me, what's bothering you?"

"Nothing…" Gajeel sat down on the spot Levy indicated.

"Hm… Well, you're usually taking a nap by this time so… something's bothering you." Levy pondered for a minute. "Ah! I know!"

"You know a lot of stuff, bookworm. What smart thingy have you remembered now?"

"How to make you feel better!" Levy beamed.

"How do you know if it's gonna work?"

"I don't, but it's worth a shot!" Levy took out her pen.

Gajeel just shrugged. "I don't care one way or another."

"Then I'll try it! But it's a very complicated piece of magic, so could you close your eyes?"

"Why?"

"It's essential! Just do it."

Gajeel gave a sigh, but did as he was told. His eyes closed, he wondered what kind of magic needed that action when he felt something very warm and soft against his lips. It tasted kind of like cherry lip balm… not that he knew what lip balm was…

"Feeling better?" Gajeel reawakened his vision to see a very flustered Levy looking at him intently.

"No." Levy's face fell. She got up to leave when he encircled his arm her waist and pulled her into his lap. "I feel much, much more than better." He nuzzled her neck. "I…"

Suddenly Gray popped out, wearing Natsu's scarf like a loincloth and doing the splits while Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and Freed wore cheerleading outfits(skirts and all), cheering on a turtle and hare race where the hare won the next hundred times... Bixlow was dancing the macarena while Makarov tried to convince him that it was ripped off of the electric slide and Erza climbed a mountain and claimed to be queen of the cake, and all must pay her tribute beginning IMMEDIATELY and...

BAM!

Gajeel was on the floor, facing his carpet. "Fuck." He said as he picked himself up. "That was a dream." He turned to the wall and hit his head against it, twice for good measure, and once more for being a moron. "Those damn Fairies are rubbing off on me." He growled. Suddenly Gajeel paused and just stared off into space for a few moments.

"I'm screwed, aren't I?"

So, what did you guys think? I know, sadly this one isn't as funny as others before it (except for the dream sequence... THAT one was fun to write!), and Gray's a bit OC... but for good reason! I promise! Most of you have probably figured out why by now... I'm so damn predictable ;P
