Hi guys! Just a quick question. When Jellal uses Meteor, can he do it while carrying a person?
Chapter THIRTEEN
Lucy dumped her bags onto a seat, then threw herself onto a open seat headed for Croft town. Jellal took a seat opposite her, placing his bags beside hers. The two were now headed to Croft town to accept the mission. They had gone back to Lucy's apartment earlier to pack their bags.
Jellal was wearing his Mystogan disguise, and Lucy was still trying to remind herself to call the man Mystogan.
Darque had gone back to the spirit world because if she had gone on with them, they would have had to pay for her tickets as well.
"We have eight hours." Lucy groaned. She yawned. "I'm going to sleep. Wake me when we get there." She said.
Jellal nodded at her in amusement. "Sure. Can I see the mission paper?"
Lucy sat up, then leaned against the armrest. "Oh yeah. I think I'll check it out before I sleep." She handed the mission poster to Jellal.
The train began moving and Jellal tugged at the cloth covering his face, lowering it to around his neck.
"Uh, the jobs is to defeat some demons monster-ish thing that are terrorizing the people of Croft town. The reward is 4,000,000 jewels." Jellal said. "Um, the request was issued by the mayor of Croft town, Desmond Croft. Says we're to see him if we want more information..." He paused. "Lucy, are you listening?"
When he heard no response, he looked up. Lucy was leaned against the window, sound asleep. Jellal smiled. She looked really peaceful, the sun light shining onto her blond hair, making it glow.
He sighed, then tucked the mission poster into one of his pockets.
Lucy woke to someone shaking her shoulder. She ignored it and after a while, who ever it was stopped annoying her.
Suddenly, someone began poking her cheek. Lucy groaned, and slowly opened her eyes to meet Jellal's brown eyes. They stared at each other, Jellal's finger still touching Lucy's cheek.
Lucy felt her face begin to heat up and she leaped backwards. At the exactly same moment, Jellal jerked his finger back towards himself and the two stared at each other, then averted their gazes, red with embarrassment.
"We have to get off soon." Jellal muttered, not looking at Lucy.
Lucy nodded. "Y-yeah." She replied. She noticed that Jellal had already gathered their bags together and she gratefully took her bags from him. The town was flanked by a forest on one side, while the other side was full of houses and shops.
Lucy and Jellal went around asking for direction to the Mayor's house. Lucy approached an elderly woman running a flower shop.
"Excuse. Would you please tell us the way to the mayor's house?" Lucy asked.
The woman looked up and smiled. "Of course." She said, then pointed down the street. "Just take this street down to town center. You can't miss it. Once you get there, take the first turn right and go up the hill. The mayor's house isn't grand or anything, looks like any other house in Croft."
The woman glanced at Lucy up and down. "Tell me sweetie, why are you looking for the mayor?"
Lucy smiled. "We're here to talk about the mission."
On cue, Jellal stepped up behind her and held up the mission poster. The woman's eyes widened. "The monster mission?"
Lucy nodded.
The woman's smile widened. "Oh my. Thank you so much!"
The woman's loud voice was beginning to attract the other towns people. Soon, a crowd had formed around the mages.
"These mages are going to get rid of the monster for us!" The woman yelled into her store, and two other people rushed out.
Lucy glanced around the town people and noticed how happy they looked. "The monster must have been terrorizing these people for a long time." She murmured sadly to Jellal.
Jellal nodded. "Well, we're going to get rid of it."
The crowd began nudging the two mages towards the mayor's house. A small girl grabbed Lucy's hand, her eyes shining as she looked up.
"My daddy was killed when the monster attacked for the first time." The girl said. "When I grow up, I want to become a mage, so that I can help people too."
Lucy smiled at the girl and nodded encouragingly. "Then I can have lots of adventures and make all kinds of friends." The girl continued.
Soon, a small, but comfortable looking house came into view. The villagers stopped at the garden gate, then ushered the mages towards the house.
Jellal knocked, and a woman opened the door. "Hello, what can I do for you?" She asked.
Jellal held up the mission poster. "We're here to accept the mission." He said.
The woman's eyes widened. "Dear!" She called into the house. She turned to the mages and nodded at them. "Please stay here for a moment." The woman rushed into her house.
The woman, who had introduced herself to be Marianne Croft, Desmond Croft's wife, had led Lucy and Jellal into the mayor's office.
A man, probably in his mid forties, greeted them. "Hello, are you the mages who have accepted our request."
Jellal nodded. The mayor gestured for them to sit on the chairs, and he sat opposite them. "As you most likely know, I am Desmond Croft, the mayor of Croft town."
"I am Lucy Heartfillia and this is Mystogan." Lucy said. "We're from Fairy tail."
The mayor nodded happily. "I will tell you everything I know."
"The monster began appearing around half a year ago. It only appears on night with out a moon, so no one knows exactly what it looks like." He said. "It around the size of a small house and as far as I could see, there was only one. It walked on four legs."
Marianne walked up to the mayor's desk and handed him a file. The mayor took it and absentmindedly looked through it. "Um, reports say that people have saw it use some sort of magic." He looked at them apologetically. "Sorry, that's all we've got. People who have gotten close enough to the monster have all been killed."
Lucy nodded thoughtfully. "Only during moonless nights, huh?" She sat there, thoughts running around her head.
And, chapter thirteen is done.

Raven: Well, sorry. I had a test-
