Chapter Twenty-One - Destination: Era

"Smile!"

"Blurghgh…"

Lucy snapped a spontaneous photograph of Natsu as the group of friends soared through the skies thirty thousand feet in the air, heading for their exciting destination.

Natsu collected his stomach after the shot was taken. "Geeze, don't waste all your shots on me…Lucy. You're gonna be exhausted by the time we land in Era."

"Oh relax." Lucy swiped through her recent photos taken and put a hand on her ill boyfriend's shoulder. "If you didn't want your picture taken, tell me in advance. I want as many shots as I can get for my report this summer."

"Just keep the pictures to the two of you, Lucy." Gray sat across from Natsu and Lucy in a booth as the entire Olympic team fit inside one Heartfilia private jet. Juvia leaned on his arm beside him and sighed with delight as she shut her eyes in comfort.

"Or maybe you can decide to take a picture of a real romantic couple." She cooed with delight and tightened her grip on Gray's arm. "Make sure to get my good side though. I'd say the same about my icy hunk, but he's too good all over!"

"Yea, something tells me he's not going to have a good side with that facial expression…" Lucy smirked as she looked up to notice Gray glaring out the port window. She did so until Juvia leaned forward with eyes lit on fire.

"What are you implying, you wretch!? Is Gray not as pretty as you'd like him to be?!"

"I don't think I'm saying that, no…" Lucy sighed, then scratched her head. "At least I hope I'm not saying that…I-I'm going to go get some pictures of the others."

Lucy swiftly left her seat, and while Juvia eyed her departure, she lowered her shoulders, and let out a ball of air from her lips.

"Oh, I was too rough on her…I should just accept the fact that the mere sight of Gray makes all other women passionately wild for him in a lustful fashion."

"Nah…" Natsu held his hands to his stomach, but leaned up to continue talking. "She's probably just gotta bad case of gas, or something. She'll calm down when we land."

"I don't think that's it…" Gray kept looking out the window, longing to be somewhere other than where he was. "Just think she needed a change in company."

Juvia never caught Gray's slighting words, and instead delivered a puzzled expression to Natsu. "So Natsu, is your little sister going to make it over for the competition?"

Natsu reclined his fluffy jet plane seat and tried to talk though his sweat and discomfort. "Yea, but she's coming in tomorrow...blugh…I'm hoping she won't miss those opening ceremony things, or whatever they're called…my Aunt P is bringing her in."

"Oh, that sounds wonderful." Juvia smiled. "Are they staying with Lucy in town for the month?"

"Nah…I think that freaky cousin of Lucy's bought a room for her and Levy…they have ta share a suite, or maybe it's the penthouse…I dunno…"

Juvia tensed up and started rubbing Gray's forearm with her palm. "I see, and how does she feel about the team staying in the Olympic Village? I hear your head coach was debating on having you stay with the other athletes, or just getting hotel rooms with the rest of us."

Natsu's head perked up a bit from its reclined position. "Huh? Oh yea, Hades wants us to stay in that athlete place. They ban alcohol, and the coaches are all there too. He thinks he can watch us all better if were on campus like a bunch of college kids."

Gray added on. "Yea, I'd rather just stay in a hotel, but the staff insisted. They only gave Jura, Ichiya, and Bacchus the option to choose since they're vets to this whole thing. Oddly enough all three chose to stay in the village. Seemed kinda like more of a young man's thing. Laxus might have been asked too…I think he's with Mira in a hotel."

"Y-Yes…that's what I've heard…hehe…" Juvia pulled her arm from Gray, and nervously started pushing her two index fingers together. "W-Well as long as it makes you all behave, I guess I can spend a few weeks without you in my bed."

"Hehe…" Natsu looked at a red-faced Gray. "I think he's sharing one with Lyon for the trip. Kinda cute if ya ask me."

"Beats your roommate, Natsu." Gray never gave Natsu his attention. "Gajeel snores like a medal grinder. I'm sure you two will keep each other up every night, and your next-door neighbors."

"At least we'll keep our clothes on, buddy!" Natsu tried leaning forward to yell further, but he felt the plane take a gust of turbulence and leaned back again as he tried holding his lips together.

Gray rolled his eyes, while Juvia let hers sink anxiously to the floor. "Oh Gray…I wish it could be you and me clothes-less inside your room for the trip."

Lucy had found Levy and Gajeel, and while the iron-headed forward was leaning against the jet window with a sleeping head, Levy put her book away to allow Lucy to join their company.

"I want to let Gajeel sleep the rest of the way, but he's starting to drool on the window...it's kind of embarrassing."

"Yea?" Lucy giggled back and pulled out her camera. "Don't tell him I took a picture…oh that's too funny." She then looked to her blue-haired friend. "So, are you happy your doctor let you make the trip?"

"Absolutely!" Levy nodded as her hands rested on her now slightly bulging stomach. "She said international travel is still pretty safe under 28 weeks, so I'm even good after the games end. Plus, Era really isn't much a flight since we kind of land lock it in the bay."

"True." Lucy nodded as she looked out a window to see rolling waves pass underneath them along the sea. The country of Era was technically apart of the continent Ishgar, but where western Ishgar was split into a giant bay, Era sat at the dead center as a large island in the middle of the inner sea.

The blonde college student then felt a bit of guilt cross over herself. "And you're not upset about staying with me and Michelle? She insisted that we room together, but I can only do it if I have someone close with me stay too."

"Not at all!" Levy leaned forward and took Lucy's hand. "I guess if Gajeel and Natsu can room together in the Olympic Village, we can do it uptown. Our room will probably be cleaner, anyway…and it'll smell better too!"

"Here's hoping, though Michelle does like her perfumes to be quite strong…" Lucy still felt bad about dragging Levy into her bizarre relationship with her even more bizarre cousin, but she knew Levy now had to deal with Michelle as a boss. In a way, she knew they could use each other to deal with the crazy.

Lucy leaned back out to the aisle and turned back to see Lyon and his girlfriend Medly joining her previous company. "I hope Natsu can keep his mouth shut. It's kind of weird, he never really said anything about having to stay in the village. I thought he'd be mad about having to be with Gajeel."

Levy shrugged. "I think they're all using it as a team-building thing. Jura and Ichiya are going to be two of the oldest athletes staying there, and they both agreed to do it. Plus, the coaches will be able to watch over them."

"I guess. "Lucy grinned with an eyebrow raised. "But it's not like they'd be able to do too much partying anyway. I heard they ban alcohol in the village."

"Ahehehe…" Levy awkwardly replied. "I dunno, you might want to do some more research there, little miss journalist. Have you ever heard the rumors about Olympic athletes during the Games?"

"What?" Lucy turned with curious eyes. "Are they usually big partiers, or something?"

"Uhh…" Levy tried leaning up for her next delivery. "They're like crazy famous for having huge parties, smuggling in alcohol…the Olympic committee even gives the athletes a…oh boy…special care package for each athlete."

"Like what exactly?" Lucy originally had her pen and paper out to collect a new bit of spicy information, but now she felt a tingle of nerves climbing her spine.

Levy's face turned red as she leaned forward. "Oh man, I wish Cana were here…let's just say I was very confident and comfortable with letting Gajeel stay there, but I'm still going to check his gift bag just to be curious."

"Yea…oh yea I mean Natsu and I talked about it. I was the one that told him it'd be fine, haha!"

That was a lie. Lucy did have very positive things to say to Natsu about getting to stay in the famous Olympic Village, but now she wish she would have done less research on the athletes during their events, and more on their off-field antics.

On the other end of the plane cabin, were two people who had no real need to worry about bedding or strange roommates. Jellal and Erza were permitted to have a room together inside the Olympic Village, since they were both married and an athlete-coach duo.

Jellal wanted to let the excitement swell inside him like it did for his teammates, but he could not help but notice Erza growing more and more tense as they flew closer to Era.

"Maaann…" Ichiya sat across from the married couple with a calm look. "Your face is far too pretty to show such dismal emotion, Erza. Your parfum reeks of stressful concern."

"Ichiya is right." The Iron Rock Center, Jura Neekus shared the seat next to him. "You look worse than the Salamander does. Is something on your mind, Miss Fernandes?"

"No. I'm perfectly fine. I appreciate your concern though, thank you." She tried to give them both a believable smile. "I'm just expecting to see somebody once the Games begin."

Jellal looked right at his recently named wife. Erza had not seen her mother, Irene, in many years. They were both assistant coaches of two basketball teams competing in the Games, and both were very skilled at their trade.

Ichiya, however, did not buy her fib. "Perhaps dwelling on those that make you feel uncomfortable is the mistake. Remember you are surrounded by people here who care deeply about you, and through that, you may use their strength to get through your troubles."

Jura nodded. "When the time comes to reunite with this person, then accept it as a necessary evil. A fate that needs to happen. Gather your strength, and remember those behind you, and no one will hurt you otherwise."

"Wise words from wise men." Jellal raised a cup of coffee as he looked to the two across the booth. He then took Erza by the hand. "It's a good thing my wife is wise as well."

Erza locked her eyes on Jellal, then felt a warm wave flutter over her chest, quickly causing her to beam with delight at her favored husband. She now figured the eventual descent into Era might not be so bad after all.

And eventually it came. Those on board all clapped at the safe landing once they made it to the ground outside the famous international airport in Era. Natsu was clapping for an entirely different reason, however, and pushed through the jet's cabin to sprint down the landing steps and leap onto the tarmac.

"LAND!" Natsu cried as he pressed his face into the hot July tar on the landing strip and smiled with delight while his cheek sizzled and steamed under the heat. "It feels so good…I thought I'd never see you again."

"Hehe." Gajeel followed Lucy and Levy off the plane and yelled up to the blonde with a teasing remark. "Bet ya wish that moron looked at you once in a while the same way he does at that ground, ay Blondie?"

"Gajeel!" Levy turned to smack him, but Lucy simply shrugged, and delivered a wink for the clever power forward.

"Eh, he's your roommate for the next two weeks, remember? I'm sure you guys can talk all about it then." Lucy felt very proud about her retort, but then remembered what Levy mentioned about the room situation and the Olympic Village. As a bead of sweat rolled down her brow, she pulled out her smart phone and instantly tried researching everything she could find.

Juvia was also very nervous, but that was just in her nature as she wondered over the pavement to the main airport with Gray, Lyon, and her beloved cousin, Meldy.

"Gray, should we try to schedule our dinner plans for the remainder of the time that we're here? They say family and friends have very limited access into that village place, and I'm worried the games may take up the rest of our time together."

"Yea let's get settled in first, though. We can get lunch somewhere in town tomorrow and plane some stuff out before the ceremonies. Maybe Lyon and Meldy want to join us?"

"You flatter us, Gray." Lyon walked with Meldy's arm hooked with his. "I'm make sure to be a fine babysitter for you while we enjoy our time here."

"Awe." Meldy teased them both. "You guys are almost cuter than brothers. Apart from your hair I wouldn't be able to tell otherwise!"

"I guess, but we've only known each other for half our lives." Gray sounded honest. "I met him when I moved to Fiore. Been more of a rivalry than a friendship."

"How wonderful that you met, though." Juvia's worried face turned quickly into a smile and she rubbed her cheek to Gray strong arm. "And what a coincidence that Meldy and I would find you both!"

Meldy nodded. "I guess you are from Alegria, aren't you? I hear Natsu's all caught up in facing off against Alvarez, but I bet you have different plans with Alegria since you chose not to play for their national team, right?"

"You could say it like that, I guess…" Gray always thought he usually did a good job at getting his dislike for the Alegria players out during their FBA games vs Tartaros each season, but he felt a different sort of competition now that national pride and identity took the stage.

"Let's just say we know nothing about Alvarez, which makes losing to them a little better." Gray walked through the doors of the large, expansive airport as he led Juvia and the others in with him. "But we have no excuse if Alegria beats us. It'd be even more embarrassing since they announced their new coach for the national team, last week."

The basketball athletes from Fiore were now out of the airport, and after travelling across the wide cityscape of Era via special Olympic traffic lanes, the charter bus and series of limos made their way to the International Olympic Committee command center at the foot of the great rocky mountain jutting from the center of the city.

Era's sprawl was rather circular, since the land that it called home was a round volcanic island in the middle of Ishgar's Bay of Magic. The center, however, was decorated with an octagonal ring that acted like a moat around a large, stone mountain that shot up well over the highest buildings in the skyline.

The Olympic Spire was topped with an octagon-shaped stadium that acted as the Olympics central stage for the Summer and Winter Games. During both seasons, the opening and closing ceremonies were held in its center, but for the summer edition it also housed the events for athletics, track, and field.

Eight spaced-out bridges reached over the moat of water surrounding the island to lead into the great rocky hall of the Olympic main ground, and at its foot was where teams and athletes needed to check in. Lucy required press credentials in the same building, however, so she followed the team into the headquarters for the introduction to fresh arrivals from the host team.

"Welcome to Era, young athletes! We are excited to have you all for this year's Grand Olympic Games!"

The man greeting people at one of the many desks was dressed in a bizarre white robe, apparently rather common in the city of Era for elder citizens. He had long grey hair, matched with a wizard's beard, but all of that was ignored as the approaching couple noticed an odd sight on the top of the old man's head.

"Haha!" Natsu pointed over to the man and howled loudly in the lobby of the great Olympic hall. "He has a little bat thing stuck to his head!"

"Natsu!" Lucy was already a little off after reading her phone and had no patience for his current immaturity. She smacked his hand to make the boy lower his rude remark and looked around to try and avoid any awkward glares. "You have to be more polite than usual. You're representing Fiore and the FBA here. It's different than just being an Olympic Athlete."

"Why?" Natsu shrugged. "We're all here to compete for gold, aren't we?"

"Natsu, a lot of Olympic athletes are just regular people out of season. You're a professional athlete who also happens to be competing with them. You're a public icon."

"Yes, and a rather famous one, at that." The old man with the affinity for bats made his way to the couple with a stern but calm face. His white robe appeared to be covering a regular green suit and tie, though once again most of that was made invisible due to the large beard and odd head piece.

"Welcome, Mr. Dragneel. My name is Org. I'm the General Director for the Olympics here in Era. It's a pleasure to see such a high-profile athlete such as yourself join us this year."

"Heh! Glad to be here too!" Natsu grinned widely and shook the man's hand. "Just came in to get my gift crap. I'll be looking for a meal and a bed after that!"

"Ahehe…" Lucy took him by the arm and gripped it tightly to stress her anger at her boyfriend's horrible manners. She then reached out to shake the man's hand as well. "My name is Lucy Heartfilia, sir. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm here covering the Games as a junior reporter for Fiore."

"Ah, Miss Heartfilia." He looked very sad to hear her name and kissed the top of her hand. "I have no way of describing how sorry I was when I discovered the news about your father, last month. It pains me that he could not be a part of this year's festivities. He and I were planning great expansions for the Olympic brand."

"Oh, you're really too kind." Her face was lit up brightly after hearing that remark. "Dad would be really happy to hear you say that. He was a workaholic, so I can only imagine how excited he was to work with your committee as well."

"Yes, well don't let me keep you too waiting." Org stepped out of the way and pointed over to a few separate stations. "Athletes can check in to any of those booths there, though it looks like some of your teammates have already discovered that. Miss Heartfilia, you will be looking to collect your press requirements at the office one floor up. Welcome, both of you, to Era."

"Thanks!" "Thank you!"

The young couple beamed with his departure and turned to see one another as they simultaneously tried collecting the captivating sight of all the athletes swarming into the lobby.

"Come on!" Natsu took her hand and ran in line. "Let's get my crap then head upstairs for your stuff. We can tour the grounds while they take my bags to the village!"

"Natsu, slow down…" Lucy reluctantly followed him over to the athlete booth to check in for his athlete perks, while her other hand still balanced her open phone to reveal more behind-the-scenes news that she never expected to see.

"H-Hey…if they give you some sort of gift bag up here, w-would you mind if I take a look inside for a bit?"

"Huh?" Natsu stopped at the end of the short line with one eyebrow raised. "Why, you wanna take all the cool goodies they give me for yourself?"

"No, just want to see what they give the athletes…and for that matter, why…" Lucy did not want to sound irrational, so she just decided to keep her mouth quiet while Natsu made it up to the front.

"Welcome to Era, sir…O-oh man, you're Natsu Dragneel!"

"Duh!" Natsu gave the man working the booth a high five. "Pretty wild you know who I am!"

"Why wouldn't I!? You're the biggest name here at this year's Games! I-I'm surprised you didn't have security come in with you, or something."

"Nah, they're over by the door. I figured a room full of other athletes and workers would be safe enough. Plus, I got my best bodyguard here with me!"

He took a now nervous Lucy by the hand and gave the clerk another smile. "This is my girlfriend, Lucy! She said something about me getting a gift bag or something!? Even being a pro athlete, I can't turn down free junk!"

"Oohh." The guy looked at the two of them, then noticed Lucy's face turning a soft shade of red as he tried to find a way to answer. "You get all that stuff in your room at the village. Designer Heart-Kreuz athletic bags filled with gifts from the Olympic committee."

He then leaned forward and gave Natsu a wink. "And what you two will be looking for should be in there as well. Enjoy the games, and good luck!"

"Thanks!" Natsu took his badge and key for access into the Olympic facilities, then got out of line. "He was pretty cool! I should have asked him if he saw my new shoe commercial!"

His partner's eyebrows raised upward. "I'd say he did…as have half of the people here, apparently."

Lucy and Natsu spent most of the time so far looking around at the upper scenery to the building, but now they found their gazes drifting lower at the feet of every athlete and working in the lobby. Flashy tennis shoes in all sorts of bright reds, whites, and yellows dotted the feet of the Olympic stars all over, which left Natsu happier with every second that passed.

"Haha NO WAY!" He grinned and pointed at one pair to their front. "Those are my Salamanders! He's wearing my shoes, Lucy!"

"Yes, he certainly is…" Lucy sighed, and tried to keep a hold of her crazed boyfriend's hand. "You certainly are a world-famous face already. I bet all the other athletes will want your autograph, men and women."

"Oh, you bet!" Natsu nudged her in the side as they walked over to the escalators heading up to the second floor. "Though, don't go getting jealous if I have a pack of girls around me all the time, alright?"

"Ugh, here's hoping that an autograph is all they have on their mind…" Lucy was now starting to realize why Levy was so nervous to speak with her on the plane about what goes on at the Olympic Games. She tried to find a way to bring it up casually to Natsu as they made it to the escalator, but both halted as a loud shriek came from the far athlete check-in.

"OH MY GAAWWWWSH! NATSU!? IS THAT YOU, MY LOVE!?"

Natsu's head almost fell from his shoulders, and Lucy nearly jumped out of her shoes as a frantic girl ran up to the couple from behind.

She appeared to be an athlete representing Team Fiore based on her rather tight purple and white athletic suit, but that was barely noticeable due to her long flowing white hair twirled into curls at the back, and sharp green eyes. Eyes that appeared to sparkle like emeralds as they locked onto the famous Salamander from the FBA. Her head was also adorned with a silver tiara of sorts, embroidered by faux blue roses on either side.

"Ohhh! I knew you'd be here, but I never thought we would run into each other so soon! I have missed you so much, my dear sweet love!"

Lucy and Natsu were both half-turned around, each of them had eyes twitching with confusion.

"Uhm…Natsu? Who is this…?" Lucy squeaked out her question as her eyes could not leave the girl to their back.

"Ugh…." Natsu was now fully turned around and brought one finger up to scratch the top of his head. "I dunno, she might be one of them season ticket holders from Magnolia. Are you the mom that Gajeel threw the chair at last season?"

"Oh, you're still so playful with my emotions, after all these years!" Her eyes were fluttering with pink hearts, and her hands pressed up against her chest. "I can't expect anything less from you. I was your very first romance, after all."

She jumped forward and wrapped him with a tight embrace. "It's me, Touka! I graduated from Acalypha, last year!"

"Hey! I went there!" Natsu smiled with little brain power as he leaned back and looked at the girl again. "Did we meet on campus, or something!?"

"OGH!" The girl let go and turned around to hide her face as she tried to curb her emotional breakdown. Lucy was on the verge of having a breakdown, herself, after seeing how many wondering eyes were now looking their way.

"Um, Natsu, I think you might have dated her. This is a little awkward for all of us…i-it's nice to meet you, Touka? My name's Lucy."

The girl laughed it off quickly and straightened her headpiece back to face front. She then laughed into her hands. "Oh my, I can't go a second without thinking about Natsu, yet he can't remember me at all. I knew it was his empty head that made me fall in love with him in the first place."

She totally ignored Lucy and took Natsu's hand again. "I'm horribly embarrassed, but it's alright, my sweet. We shared each other as each of our first relationship back in college. You were my first boyfriend, I was your first girlfriend. It was destiny in the making!"

"Ah no, that can't be right!" Natsu waved it off as nonsense. "I only dated like two or three girls in college! And they were all only for like a week!"

"Natsu, I think she might be one of those girls…" Lucy's hand was now covering her frustrated eyes, and her mind was now growing into a headache. "Though I'm not sure why I'm even bothering to say anything. I'm totally being ignored by both parties, here."

Touka did manage to catch what Lucy said, however, and nodded feverishly as her rather thick black eyebrows raised up. "Yes! Yes, we dated our freshman year! You left early to pursue your dreams of becoming a professional basketball player! From there I worked myself to death in order to graduate as fast as I could. I just finished in my junior year and earned my degree in Sports Management in hopes of following you through your career!"

She turned around and smiled smugly as she tried to gather more of his attention. "I was also a student athlete, though, and now I dive for Team Fiore. My fiery passion, which I modeled after our love, fueled me to reach the top! It's nice to see that all my hard work has finally paid off!"

Natsu was still a few seconds delayed but gave her a cheery smile regardless. "Well hey! Congrats! Getting here for the Games is nothing to ignore! I'll have ta come and see your swim stuff later on!"

"She's a diver, not a swimmer." Lucy was almost done with the entire conversation as she let out the remaining air in her lungs. "But yea, with the lack of brain power here, maybe the two of you are perfect for each other."

Natsu put his arm around Lucy's shoulders, and gave Touka another fiery grin. "My girlfriend here knows the whole schedule for all the Olympic crap. We can come out together and see ya swim then!"

"Aghhh…!" Touka had done everything in her power to ignore the rude blond girl standing beside Natsu, and now discovered the worst as her eyes grew large. "Your…girlfriend…t-that sounds wonderful! I'd hate to impede on the two of your…whatever you call this relationship."

She took Natsu's hand again and looked him passionately in the eyes. "Until then, I'll wait for you in the Olympic Village. We can catch up alone for old time's sake later. If you just tell me what room number you ended up get…"

"WE'RE LEAVING!" Lucy yanked Natsu through a crowd of people and forced her and her boyfriend onto the moving escalator to avoid talking to the crazy girl anymore.

Natsu was still slightly clueless, and instead waved down to her as the made their ascent upward. "Guess that means goodbye! See ya later, Tofu!"

He further chuckled to himself, then turned to his rather grumpy girlfriend. "Hehe, what's up your butt?"

Lucy ignored his sass and kept her eyes forward. "Oh, just trying to figure out whether I should be proud or angry at your brainless head. I think I'll need another day to make up my mind."

"Oh relax! I was just joking, down there!" Natsu kept his arm around her shoulders and rubbed the back of her head with his right hand. "I'll cheer ya up by giving ya whatever's in my giftbag in the room. It might be candy or something!"

"Eh, I already know what they're giving you…" Lucy's heart started to beat faster as her red face was mixed with both anger and angst. "I'll just let you figure out what to do with all of it, yourself."

Lucy was riding up to the top with her goofy boyfriend, all while trying to imagine how any of this could be any worse. Then, as their eyes crested over the top, Natsu pointed out a new group of interesting people.

"Hey it's Jellal and Erza! The coaches must have to come up here to get their passes!"

Once again, the blonde truly wanted to say something, anything but silence would have worked. Though, what the two innocent Fairies never expected was to see a fiery-eyed Coach Erza staring down another team's coach that could have passed for her doppelganger.

"N-Natsu?" Jellal was startled as he wanted to turn away from the two red haired women for any excuse. The point guard and his partner joined the trio, and suddenly Lucy found room to talk.

"H-Hey, gang…what's going on here?"

"Oh, some friends of yours from Magnolia, I take it." Said the shrewd woman with a silky smooth, feminine voice. Her hair was a slight shade darker than Erza's, but her eyes were almost identical, apart from the bitter anger held inside Erza's at the moment.

"Ah, Natsu and Lucy." Erza made her remark, but never turned to see her friends. "This is one of Alvarez's coaches, Irene Belserion. Unfortunately, she also happens to be my mother."

1. Yea yea, I know Touka is technically the cat/exceed, and the girl form is the White Mage. It works better for my story like this, though. But hey! I may or may not be using some characters from 100 Year Quest. Stay tuned to find more of them!

2. Speaking of which, looks like Natsu has a former relationship flaring back up, and she's an athlete too! Oh boy, I wonder where this will go.

3. If you want more information on the stuff that's leaving Lucy and Levy nervous about Olympic athletes and the Village, just google behind the scenes stories from any Olympic Games. Pretty raunchy stuff!

4. Aaaand we finish on a cliff hanger with an uncomfortable reunion. I'll have more next chapter whenever I can!
