Erza has gone downstairs to be with the rest of the guild. Meanwhile, Gray just started to get out from the room. When he wanted to open the door to go down he saw Natsu.
" Hey Squinty eyes " he flashed Natsu with a grin.
" Don't Ash Brain me. You better make sure you come back so that i can kick your ass " Natsu trying to hide his sadness because he knows how dangerous this mission is even though he's going to be with Gildarts.
" We'll see bout that. Natsu i need your help " his face demeanor straightly change.
" What's it Droopy eyes?" Natsu was kinda shocked because Gray never called him "Natsu" unless something is seriously wrong.
" I want you to help me take care of Erza and the guild. If anything happened to me don't let anything happen to Erza and of course make sure to keep your ass out of trouble cause i won't be there to help you this time " Gray was laughing to break the tension.
" Very funny. Alright i'll make sure to take care of Erza and the guild and don't worry bout my ass cause i can beat you anytime. Gildarts will be there with you i'm sure you'll be perfectly healthy and fine because you won't be doing a single thing." in attempting to joke but deep inside of him he's kinda worried bout his dearest rival.
" Yeah i'm sure. Let's go down i'm sure everyone are wondering where the hell are we. "
Downstairs at the guild
" Gildarts and Gray you guys be careful now make sure to come back and then we'll party one week straight " Master Makarov with his smile.
" Hell yeah !" shouted everyone.
" Well we better get going now and finish this job as fast as we can so that they can party." Gildarts is now making his way to Cana to said his goodbye.
" Bye Erza take care okay and of course you too my lil 't grow too fast, wait for Daddy " Gray was caressing her stomach with his smile.
A tear slid down Erza eye while Gray and Gildarts is disappearing from their view. She was holding the necklace that was now around her neck and holding her stomach deep down hoping that Gray and Gildarts will be safe.
