*Juvia's POV*

I lied on my bed as I thought of the mission requested by Jellal. I held my hands in the air, excited about getting my new power in action. Finally, I can show to everyone how stronger I have gotten... I can show him that I am stronger this time.

I sat up and finished preparing my stuff tomorrow, then I brushed my long blue hair and went to bed.

I woke up really early to be sure that I won't be late. I cooked food for everyone so that we can take our breakfast on the train, well come to think of it, I never tried to be on the train because Gajeel-san and I always walked so technically, I'll be preparing food for them while we wallow pathetically as our stomachs churn.

I gulped nervously at the thought and as much as I would like to protest, majority would vote for riding a train while the rest of us, the dragon slayers would be the pathetic ones. Come to think of it, even Laxus-san walked with Gajeel-san and I before and after missions.

So after I prepared food for the rest, I went to the train station.

*Gray POV*

"Damn. I'm too early," I sighed in annoyance as I checked my clothes to make sure they're still there. I sat down the bench as I noticed someone approaching and it doesn't make it better because the one approaching is Juvia and I know how much she's trying to avoid my presence ever since and now we're the first ones here.

She was walking with a worried look on her face as she sighed. She came nearer until she noticed my presence and she stiffened immediately. She went to the bench where I am seated on, nodded at me to be polite and sat down quietly.

I noticed that she was holding on to a big food bag and she gave out one to me, "I made food for everyone, I realized that I can't eat any because I might throw up like Natsu-san."

I took the food and thanked her and she silently sat at the far end of the bench we were seated on. I gritted my teeth in annoyance because we shouldn't be like this. I mean, I missed her... everything about her. Her small talks, stories, her caring about my wellfare, even the weird clinginess and outbursts of love... I missed it all.

"Be a man," I heard Natsu's voice in my head and there might never be another time when we will be alone like this ever again. I breathed in and called on to her, "Hey Juvia."

She looked at me with confusion and as I was about to spill out the "be a man" moment, her bastard best friend came and interrupted, "Yo sprinkler!"

He gave me a death glare and she happily greeted Gajeel, perhaps relieved that another breathing person in here because the tension could cut a knife.

*Gajeel POV*

"Yo Sprinkler!" I shouted when I saw my oldest friend, practically my sister.

She smiled back at me as I noticed the other person with her and sent a death glare because its the fucking jerk of an ice named Gray.

I ignored him and sat in between them, "What's that in the bag?" I asked.

"Oh. Its food. I had the brilliant idea to cook breakfast for everyone when I realized that a couple of mages would be pathetic on the train," she grumbled on.

"Man I hate the train," I complained.

"Mind if I eat Gajeel's share?" My black cat interrupted and I only 'tsked' in response.

"I cooked for you Lily!" She reached in the bag and gave Lily his share.

*Gen POV*

When everyone came, Jellal motioned everybody to get on the train. The dragon slayers grumbled and begrudgingly boarded the train.

"Wendy! Troia please!" Natsu begged and the sky dragon slayer only smiled in sympathy and apology, saying that too much of troia can make one immune to it.

The train left Magnolia as everyone watched in amusement all the dragon slayers that they have aboard.

Natsu sat down beside Erza who knocked him out to ease up his misery.

Gajeel was as bad as Natsu, only he's awake, saying about 'this is salamander's thing' between Levy and Lily, who muttered something about being embarassed.

Juvia sat beside Meredy, flickering between being solid and being water, as she tried not to turn to water, while Wendy passed out.

Laxus sat down with Mira, protested about travelling by train since he can travel by lightning but his grandfather told him to join the team. So he sat there, sweating up as he tried to maintain his strong front by not puking, flickering from lightning to solid, just like Juvia. He muttered to the rest of the dragon slayers about being a baby as he gulp down the building problem his stomach is causing.

Cobra sat in front of Laxus, also trying to do the same thing the lightning dragon slayer was putting up.

"My my. What a scene," Mira smiled, "This will definitely go in our history."

"Agreed," Cana said, chugging a bottle of whiskey, "I do have a card that can capture this," she took out her picture card and caught the entire scene and kept it in her pocket.

"Your guild is truly something," Jellal told Erza.

"It sure is," she smiled back as she patted the cheek of the unconscious Natsu on her lap.
