In room 121:

Mira and Erza were happily eating strawberry cake, when Erza's phone rang. She answered it.

" Hello? " Erza asked.

" Hey Erza, where are you guys? You said to meet at the hotel at 08:30pm, now it's 08:37pm. " Lucy said. Erza looked at the watch on the wall. She was right, time sure flies fast.

" We're in our room, you and the others come in here. " she answered.

" Alright then. " Lucy hung up.

" Was that Lucy? " Mira asked.

" Yes, she was wondering where we are since it's almost 09:00pm. " Erza took a bite from her strawberry cake. " Should we call Juvia and Gray? "

Mira waved her hand. " No, I'm sure they're alright. " She took a sip from her warm honey tea. " By the way, don't they make the cutest couple? "

" You know what's weird, Juvia has been awfully quiet since we split up into groups. " Erza said.

" Oh yeah. And Gray has never paid much attention to girls, well except Lucy but they have a brother and sister relationship. He even said he's going out with Juvia, just the two of them! " Mira beamed. Erza nodded.

" And her face gets red whenever Gray is close to her. " Erza said. Then there eyes widened.

" Do you think that- " Erza started.

" -they are in love?! " Mira smiled widely.

" Who's in love? " a voice interrupted them. They turned and saw Lucy and everyone else entering the room.

" Juvia and Gray are in love. " Mira's smile didn't fade.

" Gray, in love? " Gajeel's pierced eyebrows raised in amusement. " I can't imagine that. "

" Don't be rude, Gajeel. Maybe they are in love, haven't you heard of love at first sight? " Levy crossed her arms. Gajeel grunted.

" I don't believe in all those lovely-dovely stuff, shrimp. " he smirked when Levy's face turned red once again.

" Don't call me shrimp, pierced jerkface! " Gajeel glared at her.

" What d'ya call me?! "

" STOP IT! " Erza yelled. They immediately stopped. " Both of you are arguing like a married couple. " Gajeel and Levy turned pink.

" That's ridiculous Erza! "

" Why would someone marry a shrimp like her?! " It all went quiet as everyone watched Levy as she looked at Gajeel with wide eyes. Gajeel realized what he said and regret it immediately. When he looked at Levy, he felt guilty and he noticed her eyes watering. Levy grabbed a book from nearby and threw it at his face and running out of the room, closing the door with a slam. Gajeel winced from the pain on his nose and the slam.

" You idiot! " Erza punched him in the face. Now Gajeel was sure his nose was bleeding, but hopped it wasn't broken. " How could you say something like that? "

" What? How the heck should I know it will upset her? "

" Gajeel, that wasn't nice of you to say that. She was only trying to be nice to you. " Mira said.

" You should have thought twice before saying something like that. " Erza glared. Gajeel looked away, avoiding the glare.

" Now you will go and look for her and apologize to her! "

" What? Are you kidding me?! She'll hit me with a book or worse than that! " Gajeel protested.

" That's what you deserve, if you don't apologize to her. " Lisanna crossed her arms. Gajeel signed.

" Alright, I'll do it. " He went out to look for her.

Erza shook her head. " Let's hope he won't do something stupid. "

" Gajeel isn't who you all think he is. " They turned and looked at Wendy. " He did hurt her feelings, but he isn't a bad person, he didn't mean it. I'm sure they'll be friends in the future. " Lucy smiled.

" I hope so. " she said.

" Levy will be fine, I'm sure of it. " Loke said. The others nodded.

Erza looked around. " Hey, I don't see Natsu around here. Where is he? " everyone looked around. The door opened slightly and a very sick looking Natsu entered the room, holding his stomach. Lucy and Wendy ran to his side.

" Natsu, what happened? " Wendy asked worridly. Natsu looked at her and managed to smile.

" I'm alright, Wendy. " Then he passed out in Lucy's arms. The blond girl blushed lightly.

" I think he ate too much sweets. " Lisanna stated. Everyone signed in relief and then sweat dropped.

" I told him he'll have health problems from eating too much donuts. "

" Wait a minute. " Erza counted the people in the room. " Where's Cana?! "

With Cana:

" Whohoo, give me more, I want more! " Cana laughed and danced on the table like a maniac, holding a bottle of beer. She jumped in the air and fell down, the crowd holding her up with their hands as music was blasting loud all over the place.

Meanwhlie:

Levy was running away from the hotel, tears were rolling down her cheeks. She didn't know where she was going as long as it's far away from him. How dare he say that to her? She was only trying to be nice and he was being a rude jerk to her. Levy wanted to believe what Wendy said but it was impossible. She'll never be friends with him. Sure, she thought he was cool with does piercings and that he was a musician, but he had to call her shrimp. What he said back in the hotel really hurt her feelings, she just wanted to never see him again, to forget about him. She never wants to talk to him again.

Suddenly, she felt strong arms wrapping themselves at her. She screamed and struggled to get out of the man's grip, but he clapped a hand to her mouth. " Shut up, shrimp, or you're dead. "

At first Levy thought it was Gajeel, since he would be the only one calling her shrimp and now he was going to hurt her, but Levy noticed that his arms weren't pierced like Gajeel's and his voice was different, plus his breath stank if alcohol. This wasn't Gajeel, it was someone else. Someone who's going to rape her. Somebody, please, help me!

She felt the man's arms let go of her and she fell on the ground. She heard the yells from the man as he gets beaten by someone else. She didn't see who he was because her eyes were closed and she clapped her hands to her ears as tears continue to roll down her cheeks. When it all went quiet, she guesed it was over. She heard footsteps coming closer to her, strong arms picking her up brital style. She She still had her eyes closed as she his her face into his chest.

" Hey, it's alright. You can open your eyes now. "

She heard his voice, the voice she never expected to hear. As she slowly opened them, they widened when they met crimson eyes. Gajeel looked at her and signed.

" I'm sorry for what I said back there. I didn't know why I said it, I wasn't thinking. I hope that you'll forgive me... Levy. " he slowly said, looking away.

Levy's eyes widened. This is the first time he has said her name and she wished for him to say it again. Just hearing him say her name made her melt from inside. Levy smiled. " You're forgiven. "

Gajeel looked at her and smiled back. Now Levy was sure her face was cherry red, his smile was genuine and breathtaking.

" Let's go back. " he turned to walk back to the hotel.

" Uh, Gajeel, you don't have to hold me, I can walk. " Levy said, Gajeel looked at her and grinned toothily.

" I know. But I just want to make sure you're safe after what happened to you just now. " He grinned as Levy's face turned red once again. She buried her face into his chest as he walked back to the hotel.

" Thank you. " she whispered as she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.

Aaaaand here's the new chappie! What do you think of the GaLe moment? I know Gajeel was mean from the start but after he saved Levy he becomes soft! Those two will be friends and maybe more in the future chapters! And you'll see in the next chapter what happened with Cana and why she wasn't in the group! Anyway, read and review guys, I love you¬! Until next time, bye¬!
