Summary: I'm a little annoyed that everyone seemed to have forgotten about Wendy in the beginning of the latest episode.

Pairings: Implied Gajeel/Levy, implied Wendy/Romeo, implied Gray/Juvia, and general friendship feels.

YouTube Prompt: Fairy Tail tribute to 'Now or Never' by Bon Jovi.

"What about Wendy?"

Cana turned to look at Erza with a look of dazed bewilderment. "Huh?" she blinked.

"You said Lucy, Yukino, Natsu, and the cats but you made no mention of Wendy," Erza explained patiently. "She's not here either. Does that mean she is still fighting a spirit?"

"Eh," Cana scratched her head, "Wendy was here?"

"Yes," Erza hissed, "Wendy is an integral part of the team. Do you really think that Charle would have come with us without her? Do you really think we would have left her behind when we're about to go on a dangerous mission that would require her assistance?"

"I'd rather you did," Gajeel muttered darkly.

He was ignored though Levy did gaze at him adoringly for being such a sweet protective friend.

"It doesn't really matter, does it?" Cana shrugged. "Whether Wendy is still fighting or whether she's home holding hands with Romeo, she'll be fine no matter what."

"How unmanly of you," Elfman snapped. "It is a MANLY and fine thing to remember where all your team mates are. It is also MANLIER to care about their whereabouts. And even more MANLY THAN ANYTHING ELSE to worry about them."

"Oh Elfman," Mira said fondly, "you forgot Wendy was with us as well, didn't you?"

"I AM UNMANLY AND UNWORTHY!"

Erza ignored Elfman's dramatics as he began to rock in a corner with tears running down his cheeks. Instead she turned a stern eye on all her other guild-mates. "Did you guys forget about Wendy as well?"

"Well," Levy said sheepishly, "I sort of had a traumatic and embarrassing time that I almost forgot you lot were here. Let alone Wendy."

"Juvia is ashamed to admit that Juvia was too busy thinking of Gray-sama to think about anyone else," Juvia said mournfully, "Gray-sama!" Juvia wailed as tears sparkled in her eyes. "Don't hate Juvia! Juvia was very concerned that she missed something very important in Gray-sama's life!"

"You didn't!" Gray shrieked, not wanting to remember whatever on earth happened between him and his spirit. "And….." his horror melted away into sheepish wariness. "I forgot about Wendy too," he admitted, "but in my defence I was severely traumatised!"

Erza turned her eyes onto Lily. "I was traumatised too," he said in a deadpan voice.

Erza couldn't help but sweat-drop at this point and then face palm at the sheer stupidity and absent-mindedness of her team mates. "I'm starting to see why the Magical Council banned us from babysitting requests," she muttered to Mirajane.

"Indeed," she agreed with Erza, "I do hope that Princess Hisui and Arcadios are not watching this. I would hate for us to make such an ill impression on them after all what would they think of us if they knew…." Mirajane trailed off and suddenly looked around wildly. "Erza," she said a little panicky, "where's the Princess?"

"WE HAD A PRINCESS HERE?!"

Erza nearly jumped out of her skin when everyone, and she meant everyone from the usually stoic Gajeel and Lily to the cheerfully drunk Cana, screamed that in the exact same horrified shocked tone as all their eyes popped out in alarm.

"….and now I also know why we got banned from guard duty requests as well."
