Lucy got up at the crack of dawn, she wanted to explore. She met Levy outside her lab. Lucy had been stuck communicating with council for the past three days and Levy had been in her lab, they needed some girl time.

"I mean they're nice guys, but they follow you around like puppy dogs." Lucy decided that girl time meant talk about boys time.

"I know but I've rejected both of them multiple times, whats wrong with that?"

"Whats the point if no-ones naked?" Lucy smirked sending her friend into shock.

"You've been watching to many movies. Besides you've left a trail of broken hearts in your wake."

"Huh?"

"But most of the time you don't even realise they're flirting with you, unless it's Loke, then it's obvious."

"OK but come on theres gotta be someone you like." Lucy prodded.

"Let's see someone smart, Jellal?" Levy shook her head. "Freed?" She shook her head again.

"I'm fine Lu chan."

"Levy, look."

"Steam? A hot spring! I read about them, they can boost your magic and they're relaxing."

"We should tell the others!"

Nastu was bored, Gajeel was pissed off, this meant a fight and it was rules that if they fought they did it outside the village. After hours of beating each other senseless the two dragon slayers collapsed on the ground.

"We really did a number on the forest," Natsu laughed, "We better get back before Erza realises we're gone."

The two men walked along the river in silence, a silence that was broken by contempt humming. They treaded carefully to see it was coming from the blonde space survivor. She was sitting in the hot spring with the other girls from their camp and a small cat. Natsu and Gajeel slipped past them silently while Natsu ogled the blondes boobs. They snuck down to the camp, the guards weren't there, the only people in sight where an orange haired man and a fat man.

"You did well." Erza patted her companions on the back before pointing her sword at the two captives. "Now tell us why are you here!" The two men were reduced to snivelling cries, calling for 'Levy chan'.

Gray and Bickslow returned from they're hunting trip, they'd caught a wild boar that they planned to eat for dinner. On return to camp they noticed the tranquil silence, indicating that everyone must still be out. Freed had volunteered to help Jellal in Levy's absence, which meant they were in the lab. This only left Jet and Droy who were nowhere to be seen.

"It looks like a herd of wild animals went on a rampage." Gray shouted, Bickslow rounded the corner to discover his companions words were true.

"What are you yelling about?" Evergreen scolded, the rest of their team in tow.

"You don't think?" Lucy started.

"Fan out, make sure everyone and everything is accounted for, Gray check the security footage, Levy use the wrist band to make sure everyone is still here." Pantherlily ordered.

"Everything seems to be here." Wendy commented entering the control centre.

"But not everyone," Levy sighed, "Jet and Droy are still transmitting but they seem to be west of the river."

"We found this on the security footage." Gray pulled up a video on the main screen next to Jet and Droy's vital signs. There was a flash of metal and fire before the footage cut out.

"These survivors, they must use magic." Pantherlily concluded.

"We're going to get them." Levy and Lucy grabbed their bags preparing for the mission.

"We don't know what we're up against! It could be dangerous!" Gray shouted.

"Yeah like big scary needles." Lucy shooed him away.

"Ok but we need a plan," Freed Began, "Ever and Lily you are the muscle, Levy you know Jet and Droy best so you can go."

"I wanna go to!" Lucy declared

"Yes, you can go," Freed decided, "I need to reinforce these runes."

They set off but would have to make camp at nightfall since travelling at night was too dangerous with the survivors and animal hybrids running around.
