"How was it?" Gajeel said walking back to the house to pack.
"How was what?" Lily asked flying behind Gajeel.
"You know," Gajeel said blushing, "Me asking Levy to come with us on the job..."
"I thought it was nice," Lily responded.
Gajeel sighed. "I was so nervous."
"I could tell," Lily said, "But no one else seemed to notice. I think you did great."
Lily teased Gajeel about Levy a lot but he was very supportive. Part of it was because he liked cuddling with Levy as if he was a teddy bear, but for the most of it, he supported Gajeel. For what had Gajeel had told him about his past and past experiences... It was hard for the dragon slayer to find someone to get along with.

Levy and Lucy ran to Levy's dorm room.
"And that's what he said!" Levy said panting.
"Oh my gosh!" Lucy said panting as well, "Levy-chan do you realize what an opportunity this is!? 2 nights!?"
Levy stopped running since they we're getting closer to the dorms. She blushed, "I think he just did it to be nice though... I'm pretty weak... And... Well... The books would help."
Lucy panted and tried to catch her breath. "You aren't weak Levy-chan," Lucy said, "I'm sure that's not he asked you to go with him."
Lucy and Levy headed into Levy's room. Being the bookworm she was, Levy's instinct was to pack up some books first. She picked up a small tower of books and was about to place them in her suit case when Lucy stopped her.
"No books," she said firmly.
"But... I need to take some!" Levy complained.
"Fine," Lucy said, "One book only. One. I suggest taking that book I gave you last night on solid script magic strengthening."
"Fine," Levy said, "But then what else do I pack??"
"Clothes??" Lucy said, "You realize that they're necessary... Right?"
"Hehehe..." Levy laughed nervously.
"Pick out a cute outfit," Lucy suggested.
Levy opened her closet and looked at the clothing she had. She picked out a pair of denim shorts and and a white lacey top. Lucy helped pack the rest since she knew the bookworm was full of excitement.
"And now just pack up the pajamas and the rest of the necessities," Lucy said.
Levy had her back turned to Lucy and just stood there taking deep breaths.
"Levy-chan?" Lucy asked.
Levy turned around blushing and tearing up a bit.
"You ok Levy-chan?" Lucy asked.
"I'm just little... excited," the blunette answered.
"Oh," Lucy gave a nervous chuckle, "I'm rooting for you."
"Y-yeah," Levy wiped her tears and sniffled.

"Alright," Wendy said, "You should be all set so you can ride the train Gajeel-san."
"Thanks kid," Gajeel said to the sky maiden after having her cast the anti motion sickness spell. "My problem's gonna be the ride back."
"We thought of that," Carla said, "We prepared a bottle of this potion. All you have to do is drink a little bit and you're good to go."
"Thanks," Gajeel said.
"We appreciate your help," Lily said.
Wendy smiled. She had come to help and see Gajeel, and Levy, off at the train station.
"Gajeel!!" Levy shouted running to where he was, with Lucy right behind her.
"Shrimp!" He called, "Hurry up the train is about to leave!"
Levy caught up and tried catching her breath.
"Goodbye Levy-chan," Lucy said, "Take care of her Gajeel!"
"Bye girls!!"Levy said waving good bye as she and Gajeel rushed to get to the train.
"Bye bye Levy-san!" Wendy called.
"Bye Wendy!!" Levy replied.
"Oy! Shrimp! Hurry up if you don't wanna be left behind."
"I said to not call me--" Levy began but Gajeel grabbed her suitcase and her hand. Levy blushed and let herself be dragged by Gajeel to the train.
"How do you think they'll do?" Wendy asked Lucy.
"Mira and Erza predicted that they would come home... Together." Lucy gave a nervous chuckled.
