Year 1295 Crocus, Fiore (hotel's lobby)
"Oi butthead, where do you think you're going?" a dark haired man said.
"Who are you calling butthead, you pervert!" interjected by the other.
"Slanty eyes"
"Droopy eyes"
"Pinky"
"What t-, my hair is not pink its salmon! Know the difference you scumbag"
"Guys, be quite! I'm trying to concentrate here!" exclaimed by a girl with blue unruly hair tied by a headband.
"Whatcha' reading, Levy? Some old boring books again?" The dark haired guy said while trying to read behind the girl's shoulders.
"Oi, pervert! Fight me!" Screamed the guy with the pink hair.
"Stop screaming Natsu, your making my ears hurt" Levy hissed.
"As for your question Gray, it's a book about Fiore's history I've found in a dumpster." Levy looked up to Gray.
"Tsk, it's still boring you know. Hey bubblegum hair! Let's head out for a while" said Gray.
"Wha-, my hair is not pink-"
"I did not mention any pink, yah dumbass" Gray said while grabbing Natsu's shirt, heading for the door.
"Wait!" Levy cried she didn't want to be left alone.
There had been continuous earthquakes and landslide happening within the past few weeks. Fiore was in a state of calamity, land and sea travel had been temporary shut down and curfews were set. The kingdom was desperate in finding the source of the quakes. Scientist, scholars and even simple civilians had been called forth to Crocus for help.
Walking around, the group consisting of Levy, Natsu and Gray stopped upon seeing a familiar figure approached by.
"What's up Erza"
"Yo, Erza"
"Hi, Erza-san"
"Hey, what are you still doing outside? There's a curfew you know. You back inside your inn before I put all of you in jail" the red hair girl named Erza said.
"Relax Erza, there's still a few minutes before curfew, we just want to walk around, to enjoy the night" Gray smirked.
Pulling up her sword, she shoved the handle at Gray's chest. "I don't want your explanation Gray. Go back before you all get in troubled".
"Aye, we will be all going back now. Right Gray?" Levy muttered while stepping on Gray's foot.
"Ouch, Hey!" Gray hissed "Don't argue just go" hissed Levy into Gray's ear while pushing Natsu ahead.
"Come! I'll escort you to your lodgings. How's the researched Levy. You got something?" Erza looked at Levy's face hoping for an answer.
"Not yet Ezra-san, I'm still searching. It's really difficult to search especially after what happened with the kingdom's grand library 70 years ago. Most books and documents consisting of Fiore's history got incinerated because of the fire. All of our history, gone!" Levy cried.
"Not only that, the library also stores all of the electronic data for online searches" Natsu added.
"Yes, they said that it was awful. The place was burned to the ground." whispered Ezra giving Levy's shoulder a squeeze.
Silence soon followed after. Hovering round lacrimas could be seen in the sky like mini diamonds, making the night sky glow .
"Alright we're here." Erza said, looking up the building in front of her, Hotel Aubépine, its luxurious amenities and state of the art technology makes it one of the famous hotels in Crocus.
"Thank you Erza-san" Levy smiled.
"No! We're not done yet! Erza, fight me!" exclaimed Natsu.
"Oi Natsu! Are you suicidal?" hiss Gray.
"Fine! If that's what you want" smirked Ezra.
Shouts and groans was heared disturbing the once peaceful night.
"You can put him on the bed Erza" said Gray "Man, you could really give a beating. Poor bastard"
"It's his choice Gray" Erza answered while plopping Natsu on an empty bed. "If it's not for Levy, I've have kicked you two out of Crocus already".
"Now, now we're friends right. Actually, it's been awhile since we've talked to each other, how's the palace life. Being one of the King's guards must be awesome." said Gray while sitting down next to Natsu.
"It's been great Gray, having to do what I like best. But I do miss our hometown." Erza sighed, running her fingers to her long ponytailed hair.
"I better be going. See you later Gray, I'll go say bye to Levy at the other room" Erza smiled.
"Yeah, bye-" but then the door burst open reveling a flustered Levy.
"Guys, did you saw the news? The- they found out what's causing the earthquakes." Levy cried.
"What is it Levy?" they asked.
"It's a dra-dragon"
