"Uurrrrgh…” Lucy groaned, rubbing her head as she woke up. She sat up and immediately noticed the area around her. The sky was clear and the ground was misty but white and floofy. She scanned her surroundings to see if everyone was alright.

“Looks like you came through as well.” Erza appeared standing behind her, spooking Lucy a little. Erza pulled out a hand and Lucy grabbed it, helping her up.

“Thanks, so did we make it?” Lucy asked. Erza then turned her gaze to the right as Lucy followed it. There they could see what appears to be a town up ahead, a bit a ways away.

“Despite our mishap, we were able to make it it seems.”

“Ah, that’s good, where’s everyone else?”

“AAAAHHHH!” Screamed Natsu, who was slightly up ahead frantically looking all over. “HAPPY’S MISSING! WHERE ARE YOU BUDDY?!”

“Keep it down moron!” Gray scolded, he was standing by him with his shirt already off. “What if someone sees us?!”

“I imagine we’ve already made a big scene with that explosion.” Jellal said, appearing as if he was struggling to move. Erza walked over to him and held him by his shoulder.

“You’ve exhausted yourself, get some rest.” Erza said, Jellal smiled warmly back. Chelia then walked over nervously.

“Um, I don’t see Carla anywhere…”

“Now that you mention it…” Lucy scanned the area again. “I don’t see Gajeel, Sting and Rogue either…”

“It appears we’ve gotten separated.” Jellal sighed “This may be bad, I should’ve expected something like this to happen.” Natsu and Gray walked over joining the rest of the group.

“I think we can assume the others are at least together. Knowing them they’re all probably ok.” Gray reassured. Lucy then felt a large wind of coldness shiver through her body, she held her body tight trying to keep herself warm.

“H-hey g-guys? I-isn’t it a l-little cold here?!” Lucy shivered, the rest of the group looked at her in confusion.

“What’re you talking about? I’m not cold at all.” Puzzled Natsu.

“Yeah, I think it’s just you. You *are* dressing lightly.” Gray replied, now his pants were missing.

“He says with no clothes on…” Lucy mumbled. “Well it’s unbearable up here!”

“I guess it makes sense.” Erza said “We are several feet in the air.” Lucy then took out one of her celestial keys.

Open, gate of the Maiden. Virgo!” Lucy summoned, a pink haired maid appeared. She was bowing towards Lucy.

“You called, princess?” She asked.

"I-I need s-s-some warm clo-oths please!" Lucy shivered violently.

“C-can I h-have some too?” Chelia asked, also shivering.

“Of course.” Virgo bowed before a small dressing curtain appeared. “There’s some warm clothes in here, feel free to change.”

“Thank you Virgo!” Lucy thanked before running inside the curtains.

A couple minutes later both Lucy and Sheila were wearing fur coats, gloves and boots. “Ah, they’re so warm!” Lucy hugged herself feeling the warmth.

“Does that mean pu-”

“Ok you can go now, thank you Virgo!” Lucy interrupted before force releasing Virgo back to the spirit world.
