Chapter 20

Mira pov

After I sent Gajeel and Rana to that music store I decided to go check on Jet and Wendy in the infirmary. Wendy was up and looking almost entirely healed, her right arm still needed to stay in the cast but she was now more than welcome to go back to fairy hills if she wanted to. Jet on the other hand looked like he was going to wake up anytime now and I almost regretted letting Rana leave, she seemed to stick close to him since they got back. I decided I would keep a close eye on him till then. A quiet knock on the infirmary door signaled someone wanted to come in.

Freed: "May I come in?"

Mira: "Certainly!"

Freed: "Ahh… Mira how's your day?"

He came up to me and gave me a peck on the cheek seeing as our present company wasn't gone yet, though it obviously made Wendy uncomfortable nonetheless. It was cute, she turned bright red and hurried out of the room leaving us alone with an unconscious Jet at which point Freed decided to kiss me on the lips.

Mira: "it's been alright so far…"

Before I finished what I was saying Jet started stirring and the communication lacryma started ringing in the guild's record office.

Freed: "I'll get it you tend to him."

I mouthed thank you to him while I retrieved a bruise reduction potion.

Jet: "uhhh…"

I moved to jet's side and helped him sit up.

Mira: "Jet how are you feeling? Do you need anything?"

Jet: "I'm ok… Is Rana ok she was…"

I decided to interrupt him before he worried himself to death.

Mira: "she's fine, she's with Gajeel right now."

Jet looked a little confused but content after I told him she was ok. It almost seemed like he found somebody else to dote on other than Levy and after thinking about it for a second I thought they would make a cute couple.

Freed: "MIRA! THEY FOUND CARLA!"

I was so shocked by Freed's outburst I didn't move until he actually ran back into the room with Wendy in tow.

Jet: "Mira are you ok?"

Wendy: "Where is she?"

Freed: "she's at lamia scale...huff...huff... they found her and Chelia this morning...in front of the guild hall... they're ok..."

Levy pov

I snuggled more into the sheets trying my best to keep sleeping. They were warm and I wasn't ready to get up anytime soon. Eventually I woke up, due to my bladder, to notice that the light was coming from the wrong side of the room and my feet were uncomfortably warm. This wasn't my room… I shot straight up worried to death about where I was going to be finding myself only to realize after looking around that I was in Gajeel's room. Pantherlily was on top of my feet like he was using them as a pillow. He looked comfortable but needed to go to the bathroom really bad. I carefully moved scooted them out from underneath him and hurried to the bathroom.

After I came out I went to check the couch where Gajeel fell asleep only to find he was gone already.

Lily: "Morning … Levy."

Lily was wiping his eyes, yawning and holding a baby blanket around his shoulders. He was half asleep standing.

Levy: "I'll start the coffee."

He went to the couch where Gajeel had slept the night before and sat there almost unable to keep his eyes open while I made the coffee. As soon as I gave him a cup he started to wake up.

Lily: "Did Gajeel leave already?"

Levy: "I think so… he wasn't here when I got up."

Lily: "Well would you accompany me to the guild for breakfast then."

Levy: "sure."

When we got to the guild everyone seemed to be in brighter spirits compared to the days previous. I saw Lucy putting up decorations and I figured I should ask her what was going on.

Levy: "Lu!"

Lucy: "Hey Levy!"

Levy: "What's everyone so excited about?"

I motioned to the chaos around us.

Lucy: "They found Carla and Chelia so we're throwing a party for when she gets back. Natsu, Wendy and Erza went to Margaret town earlier to go pick her up."

Levy: "That's great!"

Lily: "I'm glad to know they're ok."

Levy: "... So who are you going with Lu?... Maybe Natsu?"

Lucy turned bright red and embarrassed in a second.

Lucy: "What about you and Gajeel?"

It was my turn to turn bright red. Suddenly the doors slammed open to said dragonslayer with Rana. The black haired girl looked excited about something while Gajeel on the other hand had a guitar case strapped to his back along with a piano keyboard for some reason. They were walking and talking quietly to each other about something. Lu looked toward the direction I was looking and started looking sympathetic. I think she could tell I was a little jealous. it seemed as if he had warmed up to her. I felt like I wouldn't even get the chance to go with him, he'd probably end up going with somebody else anyways.

Gajeel pov

I ended up heading back to the guild after the jam session with the kid. I finished my song right before we got a call from the demon at the store to head back to help with a party for white cat. Darius decided to give the kid a job playing at his store cause every time she was there she helped with sales. In return Rana received a keyboard that I ended up having to lug back to the damn guild.

Gajeel: "kid yah gonna play at the party?"

Rana: "Maybe… I don't know … "

Gajeel: "If yer nervous, play with me during my set. I could use somebody playing the counter melody or the beat."

Rana: "Are you sure?"

Gajeel: "yeah why not."
