Hey everyone! Another chapter. It's a bit short, but I thought the ending was nice with this chapter.
Rajini is now officialy my Beta-reader and yes, she kept nagging me to update. But school is seriously trying to kill me, so I'm doing my best. Time is short, but I'll do my best.

Thank you all for the reviews, story alers, favorite story's. They kept reminding me to write and I enjoyed it. :)

Enjoy the chapter!

Dear Diary,

Yes, I know you're surprised that I'm writing again. As far as you know, I only write every couple of years. But no, I'm doing a good job this time and well, here I am.

You wouldn't believe what happened the last couple of days. I had a train crash (I'm not kidding!) And I survived. Pinky…He just poked me and kept saying Natsu so let's rephrase that. Natsu kindly saved me (oh, the hero…Yes Pinky, I was being sarcastic…If you don't like what I write, then don't try to read it over my shoulder.)

Now that I don't have a pink idiot watching over my shoulder I can continue my story.

After I survived the train crash I ended up in a hotel with them. Who is them you ask? Didn't I wrote that before? Let's see… I talked about Pinky, Gray and Lucy. The last one is named Erza. I finally remembered it. (she hits you on the head when you get it wrong. Which makes pink idiot laugh so I hit him then. That's normally how a fight starts.)

Then there is also Happy. He is a talking cat. Yes, notice the talking in the last sentence. That is indeed not normal. He also likes to say 'ay'. Maybe he is a little pirate talking cat. You should have seen my face when he started to talk.

At first I didn't notice. Just another blue cat you see everyday. And then the mouth opened. I blinked a couple of times. Did I just hear a cat talk? Then, I noticed. I screamed. People watched. It wasn't that fun. Everybody else thought it was fun, just not me.

Happy is okay, I guess. I'm not really a cat person let's say. And sometimes, he irritates me. But most of the time, we're neutral.

I like Lucy and Gray. In the time I've been here they both have been really nice.
Lucy is always nice. She likes to smile, she also said something about collecting keys. (maybe a hobby of hers?) She has already got a couple of them. She probably lives in a big house with lots of doors and locks. So you need a lot of keys then.

Well, Gray is…Hot. Well, it seems he's hot most of the time because apparently a thing he likes to do is strip. (which I don't really mind but Erza does.) When I asked why he did that he answered that he just does that. I believe it is a tough subject or something.

But he is also hot in the sense of, wow, he has a nice body.

Erza…is also okay I guess. I think of her as a fighter of justice. She acts like that. But she does what is right. So that makes her okay in my books.

Now, where was I in the story? Oh yeah, out of the hotel. Then we travelled further to the north. I don't really know the way, because I can't orientate. Also I'm bad at reading maps so I end up getting lost most of the time.

We also decided to travel by foot. Pinky gets sick all the time and I'm not sharing my body!

The trip went slowly. Mostly because I'm also not a fast person. Let's rephrase that, I can be fast, just not for long periods of time. So I get carried by Gray. Pinky tried a couple of times but that never ended well.

The towns we passed were nice. Busy. But not really special. Lucy went to check for keys each time but that's about it. Erza says we're almost to Fairy place. I still don't really know what that place is. I don't think I saw it on any map.

We'll see were I end up. When I'm there, I'll let you know.

Bye bye Diary. Until next adventure.

The morning started quiet. That means that it was quiet until Natsu and Mireille woke up.

"What do you mean I snore?"

Mireille and Natsu were facing each other, again, in the morning with another discussion. The sun has barely risen and you could hear the neighbours already complaining . They were already banging on the wall and yelling to keep it quiet. You would think that after last evening they would know that sleep would be short in the morning.

"You. Snore. Very. Loudly."

Erza didn't seem to care anymore about the two of them yelling. She was sitting on the bed, cleaning one of her swords that was already sparkling. She probably just likes it. To scare people.

"I don't snore!"

It was an amusing fight. Natsu kept pointing to Mireille, denying every thing Mireille is saying. It's not the first time this happened. It has been a fight about Natsu being gay, having pink hair in general, taking all the blankets, bad eating habits (Lucy agreed with that one) and so on and on and on. Yesterday there had been an epic battle about him fighting with Gray. Mireille took Gray's side (of course!) and then the fight suddenly resolved about Natsu and Mireille. Gray just sat amused on the side of his bed. Probably taking a gamble with Lucy about who would win.

"Actually Natsu, You do-"

That night, Erza ended the battle. But not ending it the normal way. When you can't stop them, join them. The best way to do that is to hit Natsu with a pillow and voila, he is distracted. And then you have to get out of the way because pillows are flying around with a force that can cause a concussion. Hiding under the bed is then the best option when you have no muscles. She was soon joined by Lucy and Happy. Lucy had been hit by Erza and she kept seeing stars.
The neighbours complained for a long time, until Natsu, Gray and Erza eventually stopped and passed out. And now, yet another discussion started.

"Who asked you, you ice freak."

Apparently Natsu snores. Which is a bit true (but Lucy won't say that out loud) and Mireille gently pointed it out as soon as her eyes opened. Natsu wasn't awake yet but that changed pretty fast. He got up in 10 seconds flat and the mouth was open even faster. And now you get the story about how this fight started.

"Hey, you were fighting with me! Don't ignore me Pinky!"

"Both of you, get dressed. Otherwise the boat is going to leave."

Natsu and Mireille both looked up to Erza, who was towering above the two of them. Rule number one: Always listen to Erza.

They both nodded and went to get their bags. Natsu was already dressed. He didn't change during the night (about his smell, that was another discussion, but that is for another time) so he was ready to go. He talked a bit to Happy who was happily flying around.

Mireille, as she would say, is more dignified than the fire idiot and changes into pyjamas. She borrowed a bit of money from Lucy (who kept looking in her wallet and saying things like: bye bye rent.) But otherwise she didn't mind. She would pay her back as soon as possible. With that precious money she bought some pyjamas and some jeans and a cheap T-shirt. And also some sandals. They were cheap as well.

She got ready and joined the others outside.

"So, were off to now?" She asked the leader of the group. Erza didn't really answered but kept marching forward. Mireille noticed the harbour in front of her. The sky was clear and it made the boats shine in the sun.
There was a whole line of them. Most of them were tourist and fisher boats. There was also a big cruise ship docking at the time. It was a shining white and there were a couple of big chimneys. A trail of smoke came out of it, so it seemed the boat was getting ready to leave.

The walk down was rather quiet. Lucy and Mireille were both enjoying the view and kept pointing towards a couple of boats with funny names or strange people on it.
Erza stopped right in front of the cruise ship. Even Mireille knew their budget didn't get them on it. A little rowing boat would even push their luck.

"This would do." Erza said pointing to the ship. Everyone else looked up and stared back at her.

"Hmm, Erza..I don't think we can afford it.." Lucy tried to break the news to Erza. But she didn't really hear her and already went up the ramp. The rest knew there wasn't a chance to get on it so they wisely waited.

The man in a nice suit tried to explain the same thing to Erza. She seemed to get the hint and went down again.

"The price is slightly higher than expected." She concluded. Lucy suggested a small boat they can barely pay but again Erza shook her head.

"We're still going on this boat."

Gray seemed to catch on. He was the only one because he suddenly paled a bit. "Erza, you don't mean…"
She crossed her arms and nodded. The others kept glancing at each other hoping they know what is going on. Lucy paled. She got it as well. Mireille and Natsu just shrugged and got along with it.

"Erza. You know that it is against the law?"

"Not if you don't get caught. Gray, can you make an ice ladder?" Gray nodded but added that it wasn't really stealthy and everyone will notice really fast.

A small light bulb appeared above Mireille's head. They were going to sneak on the ship?
How are they going to do that? She glanced at Natsu. He was just pumped up to do something. He was clueless.

"Erza, you're sure? We can always go on a smaller boat." Now Natsu understood. He stared and turned a bit green.

"Natsu, don't get sick yet." Happy said, patting Natsu's head. He put his hand in front of his mouth.

"Yeah Pinky. Don't be such a wuss. We're not even on the boat and besides, it's not even moving yet."

Mireille pointed out, laughing a bit with the sick person.

"Besides Natsu, you don't have to worry, remember?" Gray put his arm around Mireille's shoulder. "You got the cure right here remember?"

Hope you liked it and until next time!
