4 ༓ Magic Cars and Trains...

─── ⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───

I arrive at the train station and am immediately greeted by the sound of yelling..

Of course, the people causing a commotion are Natsu and Gray, already back to arguing.

I stop myself before reaching them to let out a sigh, but happen to overhear someone from a bench beside me..

"Let's just sit here and pretend we don't know them"

I looked over to see Lucy and Happy so i take a seat beside her..

"I'm good with this plan"

I'm too tired to be dealing with them.

The job yesterday wore me out, and i barely got any rest after that..

Soon Erza arrives, i introduce her and Lucy, but the introductions are cut short by Natsu and his demands, "Erza i'll come with you but only under one condition, i want a rematch when we get back to Fairy Tail"

That's pointless he may have gotten stronger but he's nowhere near Erza's level yet.

"That goes for you too, Y/N"

...

What.?

"I don't care if you come or not, why would i do that?"

"I accept your challenge, as does Y/N"

Erza.. why?

"Excuse me?"

I stare straight at her as i wait for a response..

"I'm calling on the favour that you owe me"

Of course..

I lower my voice and ask "How many uses do you have left on that thing?"

Gray then asks "What does she mean? What favour?" 

But, ignoring him, i instead focus on Erza's response..

"I've only used 467 so far"

"God dammit.."

Then i once again overhear Lucy  talking to Happy..

"Is Y/N really stronger than Natsu? I thought those three were all on the same level"

"Y/N is really strong, almost as strong as Erza!"

They must've known i was listening...

Not long after the train starts moving Natsu's motion sickness had already kicked in.

But, Erza had swiftly punched and knocked him out in order to make the trip easier on him.

She then explains to us that the dark guild Eizenwald is plotting something big, something to do with the magic item called Lullaby.

Didn't those bandits mention something about lullaby.?

Erza continues on with her explanation..

Then the next thing i heard was the intercom telling us we were at Onibas Station..

I don't know when, but i must have fallen asleep..

Feeling another nudge against my head, i assumed it was just the train stopping..

But, now actually paying attention to my surroundings, i realise.. i'm leaning on Gray's shoulder..

I quickly sit upright, removing myself from that situation.

He had tried gently waking me so i'm assuming he didn't expect such a sudden reaction.

"Welcome back to life, we're here"

"Mhmm"

I say, nodding my head, the rest of my body being completely frozen.

He had gently woken me up since we were getting off at this stop and i quickly exit the train behind everyone else, screaming internally.

Then everyone realises...

We left Natsu on the train.

In my defense, i was preoccupied thinking about other things, i dont know what their excuses are..

Erza immediately goes and pulls the emergency stop for the train.

"I'm starting to realise that all the wizards from Fairy Tail are a little insane"

Lucy comments, while watching Erza ask a train employee to take our bags to a hotel..

"Not all of us" Gray replies beside me

But, Lucy quickly yells back "Oh yeah! Where are your clothes?!"

I just cross my arms and yell back "It's. Hot."
