Two days have passed so quickly and the team was more than excited for Team Exceed to start on their journey.

"Happyyyy!" Natsu yelled. "Are you done yet?"

"Aye! I'm coming, Natsu!" replied the blue Exceed.

Not long, he appeared into the hall of the guild. Bringing along with him was his favourite green bag, filled with fishes, fruits and some canned food. Oh and there were also fishes, in case I didn't mention that.

"Are you ready, Charle and Lily?" Happy asked. "I'm bringing us lots of food."

"Didn't you bring yourself any form of weapons? Like a bat maybe?" Charle asked.

"Why would I need them? Anyway I can throw the fruits as projectiles," Happy naively answered.

"Oh, alright then. Lily? You ready?"

"I'm all set. And thanks for bringing supplies for us, Happy. I really appreciate it," said Lily.

"Ahh how wonderful! The three of you are going on a journey together!" Lucy exclaimed, "We're gonna miss you though…"

"Yes! Charle please be careful…" reminded the worried Wendy.

"Ok guys," called Erza, "Here are some spell tokens. There are 12 of them in total."

"Spell tokens?" Happy interrupted.

"Spell tokens enable wizards to use magic spells from other kinds of magic that are practiced by their close allies. However they are all meant for single use. Now be quiet and listen to Erza first." Charle explained to Happy.

"Right, thanks Charle. So as I mentioned, there are 12 of them. For now, you can only use magic spells practiced by the 6 of us here – Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Wendy, Gajeel and myself. But let me remind you again. Each token can only be used once, so use them wisely."

"Thank you very much for the tokens, Erza," thanked Lily upon receiving the tokens.

"Hey so can I summon Plue to play with us?" asked the excited Happy.

"No! We'd just be wasting them. We should use them for combat in case we face trouble," warned Charle.

"Wow Wendy, this is gonna be a really fruitful experience for them huh… Heh heh…" Lucy whispered to Wendy, who parroted her laughter.

"DO YOUR BEST LILY! KNOCK OUT ALL THE LOSERS THAT COME IN YOUR WAY!" encouraged Gajeel in great enthusiasm.

"YOU TOO HAPPY! SHOW EVERYONE WHAT IT IS TO BE MY GREATEST PARTNER!" Natsu added in, obviously trying to compete with Gajeel.

Rolling his eyes away from the fire and iron dragon slayers, Gray turned to the Exceeds and suggested, "Ummm I think you guys should go off now before their childish argument get worse."

"WHO YOU CALLING CHILDISH, MR STRIPPER?" yelled both of them simultaneously. Instantly, Gray too joined in the argument.

"Right, we're leaving now. Please give us your support throughout. And again, thank you very much for the tokens," greeted Lily politely.

Spreading their wings, Happy bid, "Aye! Bye everyone!" while Charle requested, "Please take care of Wendy!"

With that, Team Exceed flew off, soaring into their adventures.

Wendy couldn't help but to shed a tear. "Awww Wendy, don't cry. They're gonna come back right? Maybe Charle might even bring you a gift," comforted Lucy.

"Nah Lucy sis. I'm alright. I'm just so glad to see Charle so thoughtful about someone else but me. And she seems to believe in me more and letting me alone. We have really grown haven't we?"

"Definitely! So don't cry alright? We'll go have some fun today."

"Did you just say fun, Lucy? How about helping me tidy up my rooms? I need some help with arranging my armors," suggested Erza.

"T-T-That's not fu…" before Lucy could finish her sentence, Erza interrupted her and dragged the both of them to Fairy Hills. "We're gonna have lots of fun!"

-(Later that day)-

"Eh?" Natsu paused. "Where are the girls and the Exceeds?"

"What are you talking about? They're right he…" Gajeel was also stunned. "WHAT?"

"Have they all left already?" questioned the surprised Gray.

The three men stood there dumbfounded and feeling guilty for not giving a proper goodbye to Team Exceed.
