Natsu, Happy and Lucy went to talk to their guild-mate, Levy, the next morning. If there was any information about dream magic in the Guild's extensive library, the blue-haired bookworm would know how to find it. Levy was eager to help and shuffled them into a room with five walls, all filled from floor-to-ceiling with books.
"If this wizard is really using a spell to enter your dreams, we'll find it in here," Levy exclaimed cheerfully. "That should help us find a way to stop him."
The three of them sat down and began going through the dusty volumes.
"Shoo-badee dupe dupe!" A deep voice that was almost in-pitch filled the library.
Levy began blushing. "Hi Gajeel. I'm sorry, I won't be able to go out to lunch today. I'm trying to help Lucy find out who's entering her dreams."
"Eh? Some pervert is spying on the cheerleader's dreams?" Gajeel crossed his arms and peered at Lucy.
"Did somebody say pervert?" Gray entered the room with Juvia close behind.
Gajeel snorted. "Yeah, some pervert is entering Lucy's dreams and stalking her. It's not Natsu, is it?" He gave the Salamander a wry smile.
"You trying to pick a fight with me tin-brain?" growled Natsu.
"Stop fighting you two. Who's trying to seduce Lucy?"
Everyone looked up to see Erza stroll into the library. The little room was getting crowded. Why did everyone decide to visit the library that morning?
Lucy tried to continue reading the books in front of her but people kept asking her questions and making up answers when they didn't hear her response. Somehow Levy was able to ignore the ruckus and kept her focus on the task at hand. Lucy marveled at her friend's dedication as Gray and Natsu started arguing about who was stronger and Juvia begged Erza not to beat up Gray for taking off his clothes. Things had gotten so noisy, Lucy couldn't even hear herself think.
Levy dropped a book on the table with a loud thud and the room instantly went quite. "I found something!" she exclaimed. "It's a spell that allows someone to enter a person's dream."
Lucy hugged her petite friend. "Mr. Black must be using this spell or something similar," exclaimed Lucy.
Levy silently read the spell. Her face fell. "If this is the spell your pervert is using, I won't be able to trace him or even block him from using it again."
"Yeah, but we can try something else," said Natsu.
"Like what?" asked Lucy.
Natsu tuned to Levy. "Do you think you can cast the sleeping spell?"
Levy skimmed the page, and then nodded. "It seems simple enough, why?"
"Can you send me into Lucy's dream?"
"Whoa whoa whoa," said Lucy, holding up her hands. "I'm not sure I want you running around in my dreams."
Natsu was beginning to get excited. "It will be perfect. I'll enter your dream and kick his ass!" Natsu pounded his fists together. "Levy, can you come over tonight?"
"Sure, anything to help out Lucy."
"Sounds fun," grunted Gajeel. "You can count me in as well."
"What? We don't even need you," said Lucy.
"Hmmmm…. I haven't been over to Lucy's apartment for awhile. I remember she has a really nice bathtub," murmured Erza.
"Lucy's having a party!" shouted Happy.
Lucy dropped her head onto the table. It looked like she was going to be having some extra houseguests that night.
