Author's Note
Yo! Ok, sorry again… I think I said I'll update again in October but I got stuck in a huge web called work. Oh well, its just now that I've gotten some time for myself, yes, I didn't get time for myself too. So, I believe you can forgive me… *bows*
Ahem, so here is your new chapter, this one is a very lazy one, where nothing really happens YET at the same time the story takes a HUGE step towards its first arc. BE SURE TO READ THIS CHAPTER CAREFULLY AND THOUROUGHLY! And sorry for any typos or mistakes (._.)
Note: This is my mind made original fanfiction. Any resemblance is purely a coincidence.

Jellal and Gray finally reached 'his' house. They parked their bikes in his garage, and walked to his door. They rung his doorbell. And after a few brief moments, the door opened.
"Yo guys! I was waiting for you two! Long time no see!"

Oh and, 'HE' is mentioned as 'him' 'he' 'his' a lot in this chapter, but let me confirm it, its not that Him from Powerpuff Girls, our 'he' is way more awesomer :P He'll be revealed someday, don't worry.

"Yo! Yeah, long time no see! How are ya?" Gray walked towards him and gave him a bro-fist.
"I'm fine! Jelly dear, how about you? You are so slow, you took so long to come here…"
"Quit it with the nickname already; Gray I'll kill you; and I'm fine too, just sprained my leg… AND, I took long because I first met up with Gray at the FT branch of Syd….HEY! Why do you get to work there!? Its more awesome than the headquarters!" Jellal also bro-fisted him and then the trio walked in his house.
"Sprained? What happened? And I get to work there because I'm more awesome and also it is more awesome because of its more awesome budget because of me!" He sat down on his bean bag and laughed, bragging out himself.
"Ah…long story, I'll tell you later. And no, the budget surely isn't better because of you." Jellal replied, taking the couch while Gray took the chair.
"Man, that's just so unfair… you get to have a better building, and its not even the headquarter!" Gray spoke up, grabbing some chips from the table in front of him.
"Haha, admit it that I'm more famous~" He spoke, snatching some chips from Gray.
"No way in hell… anyways! Have you done packing? We need to meet up with the others, ya know. We cannot relax here for long..." Jellal also snatched some chips and then got up, looking around his house a bit.
"Haha, you're right. We can't relax here forever! I'm done packing, lets get going! And, Gray, take those chips along, I like 'em." He too got up, and stretched a bit.
"Heh, I was gonna take 'em even without you telling me. You have more? They taste too good." Gray too got up, still eating the chips.
"Yeah, I have. I'll get 'em." He went to his kitchen. Jellal moved near to Gray and ate some more chips as well.
"Man, you're right. We need more of these, they are awesome." Jellal commented.
"Here!" And there he appeared, carrying a big sack filled with those chips.
"Bro, do you want us to get fat and look like pigs on the stage? We need only 1 more packet." Gray said, eyeing the sack with wide eyes. Same with Jellal.
"Nah nah, when did I say that we're eating all these right now and these are just for you? I've packed enough for the whole gang for the whole world trip, not for now." He said, bringing in 2 more suitcases and a bag, his stuff for the world trip.
"Oh I see, hahaha!" All three laughed their heart out, definitely ready for their trip ahead.
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go!" Jellal bumped his fist in the air followed by him and Gray. All of them went out, Jellal and Gray helping their friend out to get his stuff.
After they got out, he locked his house and was going straight to his car when…
"Huh? Why are you taking your car? Just sit with one of us on the bike y'know." Gray asked him, looking at his curiously.
"Mr. Genius, are you gonna carry all my stuff on the bike? I sure am NOT gonna. Either you sit on the back with all those stuffs." He said with an annoyed expression and then entered his Porsche.
"…don't get out from that car." Gray sat on his bike and put his helmet on. Jellal chuckled and followed Gray, too sitting on his own bike and putting the helmet on.
"Let's get goin'!" All three turned on their vehicles at the same time and left his house to finally go to THE RED DRAGONS' mansion. (Jellal had told him where to go, and since he knew Syndey streets, led them there. When or where did Jellal tell him, please don't mind. ^^')

"And finally we're here…" Juvia stretched her arms (one by one, she had snoopy with her) after such a long trip from Magnolia to here with so much problems.
"Yeah right, we can relax for a bit now.." Mirajane held Jelarl's hand who held Happy on his shoulder.
"Let's go inside, I'll lead you to the room!" Jelarl said enthusiastically, he became comfortable with both the women because obviously they were together for so long.
"Ah thanks, Jelarl." Mira said and followed him inside, Juvia smiling and following suit.
After they settled all the suitcases around (they left the 7 suitcases TRD brought in the car so later they can just keep 'em back at their studio.), both women, Jelarl and the pets then went to the living room and slouched on the couches, turning on the TV and drinking some Coke while doing so…
Ah, it definitely was a lazy afternoon.

"Ok, thank you so much, Rufus-san. Yes, we'll take care. Thank You, goodbye!" TRD bid their goodbyes and finally went out of the Headquarter.
"Man, he didn't let us escape at all today. He repeated everything 5 times! Thank god he finally let us go…" Natsu whined, walking with his hands behind his head.
"I know Natsu… but we couldn't have done anything about it." Erza replied, tired herself from all the speeches on the Do's and Don'ts and what not.
"At least its over already… I can't wait to go back and rest a bit." Lucy said, yawning since she was really sleepy from all the speeches on this very lazy afternoon.
"Let's take a taxi back home, I'm sure we all don't have the energy to wait for our car to come here and pick us." Erza suggested, sighing. Natsu and Lucy nodded in agreement.
They then took a cab and sat in.
"Oh… today was a tiring day…" Natsu spoke up, already half-asleep in the comfortable cab. Lucy and Erza hummed in agreement. "But then, today Jellal really saved us huh?"
"Yeah right…" Lucy was too, already half-asleep. Erza just hummed, she was really tired too. None of the 3 had actually slept well last night too…
"Oh that reminds me… when he left, he said that there's another member in the Phoenixes' group, who'll join us on the trip. That person actually works here but is a part of that band but performs rarely. We will meet him when we go back home, Jellal said." Erza told the duo, yawning.
"Oh that's nice…" And with that, Lucy fell on Natsu's shoulder and off she went to dreamland. And for Natsu, well, he was already asleep after hearing out Erza.
"Damn… I can't fall asleep. Oh well, whatever…" Erza looked at the duo and then out the window, thinking about the other member of the Phoenixes' to keep herself from sleeping.

A cab stopped right outside B-778-A, and 3 very drowsy people came out of the cab, paid the money and limped to their mansion, clinging to each other to prevent falling.
When they entered their mansion, they heard the sounds of people talking, laughing and the smell of something being cooked. But of course, the trio was too tired to attend anything and drowsily entered the living room.
All the members of The Blue Phoenixes and Jelarl were sitting around the dining table, each one having a beverage for themselves, while Mirajane cooked some snacks for everyone, also actively taking part in the conversation going on. When the Dragons entered the room, everyone already present in the room turned their attention to the Dragons, while they were just standing there blank.
"…Welcome Back, guys!" Mirajane cheerfully spoke, waving to all. The three just smiled and nodded.
"So, how was the meeting guys?" Gray asked, turning around in his chair to look at them. None of them ever noticed how the Dragons were half-asleep.
"Huh..? Meeting? What mee-*yawn*-ting? Oh god… what am I saying? Sorry but I'll…talk to you all later, sorry… see you later…" Natsu headed up to his room, opened the door, closed it and just lied down on his bed, snoring.
"Err..? Are you guys ok?" Jellal asked, looking at the two girls and the closed door of Natsu's room with concern. Meanwhile, 'he' watched the exchange quite amused.
"…Um…we're just…*yawn* well… Erza, over to you… I don't know what I'm doing…Sorry…so Sorry… um see you later too…" Lucy too, headed to her room, turned on the AC, and went to sleep with her soft, thin blankets.
"uhh…" Juvia looked at Erza, hoping she'll clear something up.
"Um..sorry…actually…*yawn* we're all just very tired.. didn't sleep well at night too so… um, sorry… can we talk later? I am, too, very drowsy… see you guys later, feel at home. Feel free to use anything around, no need to ask for anything around here. Night…" And there goes Erza too to her room.
For about a minute or so, everyone present there was dumbfounded, and still. Ok, well… they decided to let go what just happened, since it was weird that they were so drowsy… maybe they were just too tired. Oh well.
He inquired Jellal about what meeting, about the tour and the Dragons, etc. Then all the people just continued their conversation, oblivious to the signal which just displayed itself… screaming of danger in front of their faces…
NARRATOR'S ROOM
(Note: This part is mysterious, that even the narrator wasn't told some words, hidden words. But after spending an hour sneaking around the author's library, the narrator figures out that the hidden words are just names, and are translated here as 'Unknown words'. Also, no genders are clear here, so the people are referred to in plural form. The narrator deeply apologizes, but the author refuses to tell him anything here.)

"(Unknown word), don't you think it is about time we begin our mission?" A shady person smoothens out their hair.
"Oh yes, (Unknown word). Obviously, with how things are sliding smoothly, we got no time to waste… now do we, (Unknown word)?" Another shady person spoke to the first one, sitting calmly on their throne, smirking.
"You are right, (Unknown word)" The first shady person too smirked, looking at their partner.
"By the way… those Fairies were taken out successfully, right?"
"Oh yes, Master… we infiltrated the cab successfully and you know, those 3 Fairies must be dozing off already, plan successful…" The first person's smirk grew larger.
"Ah, I knew I could rely on you, (Unknown word)… now, go and inform everyone that its tomorrow, also tell (Unknown word) that those 3 Fairies are out, and (he/she/it) should do what (he/she/it) must. We're beginning tomorrow, my soldier…" The second person ordered.
"Your wish is my command." And the first person kneeled.
And this was just the beginning of the catastrophe which held the lives of the innocent people of the country…
And our heroes were still oblivious to the great danger which lurked ahead…
Will the enemies' plans become successful? Or will our heroes prevent and crush their plans on time successfully?

And done! Okay, I don't know if this is a cliffhanger or not… xP you decide. ^^ Anyways, yes, I didn't tell the narrator (he's imaginary, you got a problem?) about some hidden words, but I can see he sneaked around and found out they are names. Whatever, as long as they aren't revealed…
