Summary: What I would like to see at some point in the next few chapters of the manga….Because Team B isn't complete without Jellal.

Pairings: Implied Gajeel/Lily/Laxus/Jellal/Juvia/Cana/Mirajane friendship, family feels between Laxus and Makarov, some implied Laxus/Thunder God Tribe friendship, implied Crime Sorcerie friendship, implied Gray/Juvia, and implied Jellal/Erza.

YouTube Prompt: A Natsu/Lucy video to 'Hold Back the River' by James Bay.

It was a quiet night and Crime Sorcerie were exhausted.

The past few weeks had been intense as they chased after one threat after another, and now they could all lie back, enjoy the campfire, and get some rest before the next threat arose.

"How about a sing-a-long?" Meredy suggested, immediately bored of the quietness, "We can do it in harmony!"

"….No," Everyone else replied instantaneously.

"Mou!" Meredy pouted. "You're all so boring. Jellal, why did you have to recruit so many boring people?"

"Don't worry," Midnight said coolly, "I'm sure the next time he breaks people out of prison for his guild, he'll choose the cheerful murderers whose only crime had been to not share candy."

Meredy's eye twitched as she shot Midnight a scowl but before she could argue, Jellal lifted up a hand to silence her. "There is no need for that," he said calmly, "and Meredy, if the other do not want to sing we are in no right to – HMMPH!"

Meredy shrieked, some of the others jumped, Midnight blinked, and Cobra looked on bored (he knew it was going to happen, he heard them whispering a few bushes back) as someone dumped a sack over Jellal's head and then suddenly swept him up into a crushing embrace of large, over bound, muscles.

"Gihihi," a gravelly voice snickered, "we're going to be stealing Jellal in order to save the world before fucking Salamander and his friends."

"Juvia is confused," another voice called out, "Juvia thought we were going to help Gray-sama and keep him away from all the Love Rivals before they steal him away from Juvia's loving embrace."

"….fuck no," another male voice growled, "I did not abandon my friends so we could help your love life. We're going to rescue my grandfather!"

"Those are friends?" another, drunken, female voice teased. "I thought they were our cheerleaders with a fanatic interest in you."

"Hmmph!"

"Can you get this thing off of me?" Jellal's muffled voice came from the black bag. "I'm starting to find it hard to breathe. Though that might partly be due to the smell."

"Are you saying I stink, you pansy?!"

"Gajeel," a bored, tired voice said somewhere nearby, "I share an apartment with you, trust me when I say this…..you have body odour issues."

"LILY!"

"Still can't breathe!"

"Come on! If we keep gossiping like old maids my grandfather is going to die of old age before we rescue him."

It was then, with perfect clarity, that Meredy realised that it was Fairy Tail that were trying to kidnap Jellal. Mirajane stepped further into the light and smiled warmly at them. "I hope you don't mind," she said kindly, "but we're going to be burrowing your leader for a little while."

"Do I get any say in this at all?!"

"No," every Fairy Tail member said instantly. "Why do you want to have a say?" Gajeel grumbled. "You're part of the best team Fairy Tail ever put together. We're going to kick Team A's arse."

"Again," Laxus snarled, "my grandfather's life is not a competition."

Jellal didn't argue, but mostly because Gajeel and thrown him over his shoulder and was now carrying him off despite his loud, muffled, protests. "Are you kidnapping Jellal to make him Erza's sex slave?" Meredy asked.

"….Sure!" Mirajane said brightly. "Why not?"

"Awesome!"

And with that Fairy Tail completely disappeared in the night, with Jellal still screaming as they got further and further away from Fiore altogether….

"Is anyone else worried," Racer spoke up eventually, "that Fairy Tail felt that they needed to kidnap our leader instead of asking for his help?"

"Eh," Cobra shrugged, "I'd be more worried if they asked. It's Fairy Tail we're talking about."
