Chapter 2 - Step by step

"Hey, what took you so long. We've been waiting for ages, I was going to start eating without you" said Natsu.

"It just took me a while to find Nina," said Gray.

"Well your here now, so that's all that matters." says Erza.

"Dig in everyone,"says Lucy.

(After dinner)

"So while I was outside I was thinking about some past events and I thought the only way for me to move on is to know what happened that night before Master Mackorov found me so I thought I should go back to my home land and search for any kind of lead to that night." Said Nina.

"Yeah, that's a great idea!" Said Lucy.

"It'll be a nice change from doing quests all the time." Says Erza.

"Anything to help a fellow friend." Says Natsu.

"All of us, I mean it'll be dangerous. I can't ask you to put your lives at risk for me." Says Nina.

"Sure you can, that's what friends are for," says Gray.

"Well then it's settled we'll leave tomorrow so pack your things" orders Erza.

(Tomorrow morning)

"Is everyone ready to go?" Says Erza.

"I can't find Natsu," says Lucy.

"He told me he went out and will meet us at the docks" says Gray.

"Yeah, his luggage is in his room and it's fully packed." Happy says.

"Okay, I guess we're all ready then!" Nina says.

(At the docks)

"Where is that idiot? If Erza comes out and can't find him then we've had it!" Complains Gray.

"Well then it's a good thing Lucy is keeping her busy He won't be long now I can feel it." Says Nina calmly.

"Hi, guys sorry I'm late and thanks for covering for me" says Natsu.

"What the..." Says Gray startled. "How did you... Oh, it's a natural element wizard thing right?" Gray figures.

"Spot on!" Nina says.

*Horn blows*

"Come on, we can chit chat later," says Natsu smugly.

"Is he serious... Oh forget it!" Shouts Gray.
