The sun was shining brightly on Magnolia, it's light slowly warming up the town.

It was a Sunday morning, so it was really calm.
Rufus liked the atmosphere, he tried to memorize everything he could as he slowly but steadily walked to his final destination.

"Hello, Rufus. You're a bit early today, aren't you?" Yajima, the owner of the famous restaurant 8-Island, greeted him.

"Good morning, Yajima-San. It's been such a long time since my last visit, that I decided to come a little earlier to enjoy the view." The memory mage answered.

"I'm glad you like coming here. Sit down, do you want me to prepare you the usual?" He asked.

"Thank you, but I think it would be more polite to wait for my friends to arrive before ordering anything"

"Alright. Call me if you need something." The old man told him before heading to the kitchen.

Rufus sat down at a table he and his bookworm friends were used to take, patiently waiting for them to arrive.

The sun slipped trought the curtains of the bedroom where three Fairy Tail mages were sleeping peacefully.

Levy woke up when the warm rays hit her face, soon after her, Panterlily and Gajeel were up, too.

"Good morning" the black Exceed greeted.

"Morning Lily" the petite girl said.

Gajeel just grunted, not awake enough to talk properly.
He just closed his eyes again, ready to fall into a deep slumber.

"Hey, don't fall asleep again. It already looks that we slept in today." Lily stated after noticing a lot of light in the room.

"Don't be so harsh, Lily. It's not the end of the world. Plus, it's actually nice to sleep a little more on Saturday." She said.

"I guess. By the way, i'm pretty sure it's Sunday, Levy" the cat specified.

"Yeah, Sunday" she repeated.

Sunday...

Suddently, she sat up, wide awake, in search of a clock.
"What time is it?!" She yelled.

She had a meeting at 8-Island with her whole bookworms' club Sunday morning!

She finally managed to grab her alarm clock steadily enough to read the time.

10:00a.m.

They were supposed to be there at 09:30a.m!

"Oh, shit. I'm late!" She screamed.

She took her clothes from the closet and started yelling at Gajeel and Lily what kind of books to put in her bag, but they were so confused by all those titles that when she managed to get dressed, she started to gather herself what she needed.

Her hair kept getting in her face, so, while Gajeel was holding them out of the way, Panterlily went to look for her headband.

"Will you be able to make brea-" she tried to say, but was interrupted.

"Yes, i'm not Salamander. Now go, but be careful not to get too tired." He told her.

She smiled at him before bolting out of the house.

Gajeel huffed and Panterlily shook his head.
Sometimes Levy could be clumsy, too.

They were about to head to kitchen to make breakfast, when the door slammed open again.

"I forgot the book about the memories and how they affect our lives!" They heard.

"Can't you just go? This way you'll get there even later and you might want to run faster" simply said, implying that he was worried for his kid.
