"Wendy! Earth to Wendy!" Natsu Dragneel, a fire dragon slayer wizard waved his hand in front of Wendy Marvell's face, who is a sky dragon slayer. They were inside the Fairy Tail guild located in the town of Magnolia. Wendy was sitting at a table with her friends Natsu Dragneel, Lucy Heartfillia, Happy and of course her companion, Carla. She was spaced out looking down on the table before being spooked by Natsu's waving.

"O-oh! I'm s-sorry guys!" Wendy regained herself.

"What's up Wendy, you look like something is bothering you?" Lucy exclaimed in a soft tone.

"Maybe she's hungry and wants some fish." Happy replied while chomping on a fish.

"Happy that's totally not it at all…" Lucy doubted, having a sweat drop over her head.

"Oh! Maybe someone is bothering her, well who is it and I’ll beat them up!" Natsu punched his two fists together, looking ready to fight. Lucy didn't say anything and pinched her nose looking annoyed.

"No, that's not it." Wendy shook her head. "It's just that, today is the day I volunteer at Lamia Scale to do another Sky Sister performance with Chelia…"

"And what's wrong with that child?" Carla questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, it's been months since I last did one, and it was *really* embarrassing…" she blushed. "I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it again."

"Nonsense Wendy!" Lucy shot up, holding Wendy's hands. "I remember when me and Natsu saw your performance and you both were great! You’ll be just fine!" Wendy smiled back at Lucy, having a bit of confidence.

"Indeed, the feeling of performing on stage in front of several people always fills me with excitement." Erza Scarlet replied, walking over towards the group. Hearing Erza's comment about performing in front of a lot of people shot Wendy's confidence back down quickly. Lucy took quick notice.

"You've done great before, you'll do good again I promise." Lucy laughed slightly. Wendy nods in response.

"Are you sure you can't go?" Wendy asked.

"I'm sorry Wendy, I really am. But we were about to head out on a job soon." Lucy felt bad but when she thought of how low she is on rent she had no choice.

"You can make sure to tell us all about it when you return." Erza replied, putting one hand on Wendy's shoulder. Being reminded of the performance, Carla glanced at the clock and was quickly shocked.

"Wendy! It's almost time for our departure! We should leave before we miss the train!" Carla flew up, opening her wings.

"Ah! You're right! Sorry guys but I have to go! See you soon!" Wendy shot up, quickly grabbing her things before running out, Carla quickly following after. The others give their good lucks and goodbyes before Natsu immediately slumps over on the table looking disappointed.

"Going on jobs won't be the same without them." He whined. Lucy rolls her eyes.
"Oh come on Natsu, we've done plenty of jobs without her."

"Speaking of jobs." Erza looked down at the job poster that was on the table "What job did you decide on?"

Lucy picked up the paper, showing it off to Erza. "There's a monster some townsfolk want to get rid of that lives in the forest, but look!" Lucy frantically points at the reward. "Look at this reward! I'll be able to pay off rent for several months!"

Natsu quickly shot up looking excited, his head catching on fire. "A monster huh? I'm fired up!"

"You sure got over your depression quickly…" Lucy exclaimed quietly.
