Gajeel and I were at the town square by now, it has a beautiful fountain in the middle, plenty of shops, and so much nature! Plus everyone looks so happy, why would anyone target a, peaceful, little, town like this? Just then a kid ran by and tripped me. Gajeel growled at the kid and began to help me up.

"Thanks!" i said

"No problem" Gajeel replied

We sat down on the side of the water fountain, it felt nice to be like this, it's not often you feel peace on a mission.

"Wanna take a break?"

"sure!"

"I'm gonna go get us something to eat, k shrimp?"

"K!"

Gajeel came back with fuit in half a watermelon rind, so artsy! Gajeel sat it down between us. Pantherlily is still back at the hotel.

"How do you think Pantherlily is doing?" i thought outloud

"I hope he's doing good!" Gajeel answered, his soft side coming out.

"Oh, yeah!" I just thought of something.

"What?" Gajeel asked with a confused face"

"This!" i stood up in front of him and used my magic to make him some metal.

"Thanks shrimp!"

People kept staring at us after this, we both overheard people saying things but only the adults, they weren't exactly negative things either i don't think...

The kids would just think of what i had done as cool, or that i was a wierdo! I never liked being the center of attention, but now i am. Guess i'll just have to deal with it. The creepy thing is that the longer i'm here, the more things become vaugley familiar, but why?

Right now Gajeel and i are walking in the woods following a stream, it's actually kind of romantic, just like in the books! So far nothing has happened yet. That's why we came here to the woods, so we could find out some more stuff about this guild! At least have a more likely chance of it!

"Gajeel-kun?"

"Yeah shrimp?"

"What time is it?"

"Around 2:00 or so"

"K!"

I looked to the other side of the stream and saw a huge tree!

"Gajeel-Kun!" i yelled yanking of Gajeel's sleeve

"What?"

"I want us to climb that tree!" i pointed to the tree

"Your to short shrimp!"

"No! I'm! Not!"

"Whatever, c'mon then.""

"Yay!"

We got to the tree, and i just stared at it, maby Gajeel was right, i am to short to climb the tree.

"Come over here!" i heard Gajeel yell

"What!?" i yelled heading toward Gajeel, then i saw it, there was a hole in the tree, the whole tree was hollow, yet still alive? It made no sense to me.

"Yeah! Honestly, how the heck did this happen?"

"No clue, lets go in!" i started to walk in

"No, it could be a trap." Gajeel grabbed the back of my dress to make sure i didn't go any farther.

"Please!" i wined trying to go into the tree despite Gajeels strong grip on my dress.

"NO!" Gajeel raised his force, it kind of scared me, he made me gasp, and picked me up and put me down facing the path back to the stream.

I humphed and started to walk out of the woods, Gajeel just followed me, keeping a keen eye out for danger, and to make sure i didn't try to wander off. I can feel his stare piercing into me, he is suddenly so protective of me? why has this mission given me more questions about my life and my friends, rather then question pertaining information about the mission? I'm just so confused!
