Wendy couldn't thank her friends enough for making her Halloween party successful. Her classmates were so impressed with everything that they started talking to her and making friends with her. Some still thought she was weird and creepy but she was just grateful that the whole group wasn't freaked out by her. In fact she was invited to go bike riding with some of them next weekend. She was so excited.

"What you guys did was incredible." She told them as she packed her back pack with some things she may need like a water bottle. "I especially loved the fire truck you pulled Natsu."

"That's one of my specialties." Natsu said.

"And the whole zombie thing was really creepy. How do you know those guys?"

"Remember when I said that I had connections to the mafia?"

"Wait you mean those zombies were apart of the mafia?"

"They still are. They run their own underground business. Literally." He joked. "But they're harmless. They don't believe in harming anyone for no reason. Anyway my connection to them is because one I speak fluent Italian and that's the only language they know and two they owe me a favor."

"What favor?"

"I managed to convince my brother to give them their own turf. Now if I ever need anything they're willing to help me if they can."

"Establishing a connection with the mob." Gray said. "Nice move."

"And Lucy the way you made those spirits appear." Wendy continued. "It was so mysterious and creepy but cool. So was that story you told. Where did you hear it?"

"Huh...Well I actually don't know." Lucy said. "To be honest my stories just come to me in my mind."

"So you make them up?"

"Not exactly. It's a little hard to explain. They're stories that have actually happened and the knowledge of it just suddenly appears in my mind. Like I automatically know it but the problem is I don't know certain details about it, I don't know the origins, and I can't make the connection to who it's about."

"Odd. Does that only happen to you?"

"Yes. It's because I can summon spirits and that gives me a sort of connection to souls. In other words I can know a soul's story from their past. But only bits and pieces."

"Do you know any stories from your past?"

"No. There are some soul stories I can know and others I can't. It just depends."

"Okay. All and all you guys did good and you didn't go too far with anything." Wendy continued. "But there's just one thing that confused me."

"What?"

"That whole heart beating thing that you two did." She said to Gray and Juvia. "How did you do that trick?"

"Well actually." Juvia said. "It wasn't a trick. I can make a heart beat from my chest."

"So can I." Gray said.

"How is that possible?" Wendy asked. "You're both dead. You have no pulse."

"It's not really our hearts that you heard and saw beating." Juvia explained. "It was the feelings our hearts left behind."

"Your feelings?"

"Sometimes when a person with unfinished business dies feeling extreme emotions like sadness or anger." Gray said. "Deep emotions that never really go away. The ones that come from your heart. The heart may start working but the feelings from it stay behind just like the soul."

"So when you see this." Juvia made the red, heart shaped aura appear and start beating in her chest. "It's not my heart you're seeing. It's the feelings that were once deep in my heart."

"What kind of feelings are they? Do you know?" Wendy asked.

"Mine is sadness." Juvia said. "When I died I was very sad."

"Mine is...Well is..." Gray wasn't sure how to say this without scaring everyone. "Now don't freak out when I tell you this. Okay? Don't get scared. I promise that what I felt when I died is not what I feel now."

"What is it? What do you feel?" Wendy said.

"What I felt." Gray corrected. "Was insanity. When I was alive something drove me insane and that madness lasted all the way to my death."

"So you're crazy?" Natsu said.

"I am not crazy. That's just the last thing I felt when I died."

"And you don't ever feel like you might go insane again?"

"No."

"But you just said those feelings never go away."

"The memory of them not in general. I'm not insane."

"Let's agree to disagree on that subject." Lucy said. "Because I've seen what you do to ghouls who tend to annoy you."

"Alright so I'm little on the crazy side but I'm not pyscho and I'm sure not the only dead person who has negative and unsettling emotions lingering from their life."

"Alright you have a point there." Lucy said.

"But it might help us understand you better if we knew what it was that made you crazy." Natsu said.

"I don't know. I don't even know how I died or who the hell I even was, how am I supposed to know what made me crazy?!" Gray said getting upset. "Besides what good is it knowing that anyway if I don't know the rest about myself?"

"Well it would assure us that you're not..." Natsu quickly stopped when he realized what he was about to say. But it was too late, Gray already knew what Natsu was implying.

"That I'm not what?! That I'm not a crazed serial killer or something?!"

"You can't really blame us for being a little bit cautious." Lucy said. "I mean given your reputation and the fact that you've done some disturbing things and now finding out that you have feelings of insanity inside of you. We just want to make sure that you're not... Pyschopathic."

"What?!"

"Um I think we should stop talking about this." Juvia said.

"Do you two even know the definition of pyschopathic? Because if you did then you would know that I don't fit that description at all!"

"Hey it's not our fault that we feel this way!" Natsu said. "You pretty much go out of your way terrorize everyone in the In-Between. In fact almost everyone over there is afraid of you!"

"Guys please don't fight." Wendy said.

"I mean you did almost take a guy out of existence once."

"You did what?" Juvia said.

"Natsu!" Gray shouted before punching him across his face. "You swore you'd never tell anyone about that!"

"Hold up when did this happen?" Lucy asked.

Instead of answer Gray just clenched his fists and made his way over to the wall where he made a door to the In-Between and went right throughout. His friends looking on in stunned silence.
