A/N: It's my amazing face reveal~! I totally look like this!

Lucy was rudely awoken by a pillow being thumped onto her head. "Huh?! Wh-wha?! I'm up!!" The blond jolted, nearly falling out of the bed.

Lisanna, the one holding the pillow, just laughed. "You guys gotta get up! Our train's coming at 2 o'clock, remember? It's almost noon!"

"Oh....right...." Lucy yawned, trying to orient herself.

Wendy wandered in from the other room, still in her pajamas and with her hair a complete mess. "Lucy-san, can I use your bathroom? Mira-san's in ours." She yawned.

"Sure. Go ahead." Lucy answered, stretching.

"Actually, Juvia's in it right now." Levy interjected, sitting on the other bed counting her books.

Wendy looked disappointed. "Aw... I can't brush my hair without a mirror..."

"One of us could try and do it." Lisanna offered cheerfully, playfully tossing the pillow at Lucy.

"No thanks." Wendy replied sleepily. "I'm just gonna ask Gajeel-san to do it." She wandered over to the door and left.

"Is she aware she's still in her pajamas?" Erza laughed, leaning in the doorway to the other room.

"Probably not. Romeo's gonna have a heart attack." Lisanna ducked as Lucy chucked the pillow back at her.

"Lu-chan, Lu-chan." Levy interrupted as the blond went to throw another pillow. "Do you have any of my books? I'm missing a few..."

"What? Oh yeah, here." Lucy handed over the tomes and paid for her moment of distraction by getting a pillow whomp to her butt. The blond screeched, falling on the floor. Lisanna nearly doubled over laughing, at least until Lucy retaliated. Soon, a 1v1 pillow fight had begun. The number of participants increased when a ricochet hit Juvia when she was coming out of the bathroom. The water Mage responded by grabbing all the pillows from the other room and using them as her personal arsenal. Erza joined in with her typical over-enthusiasm and Levy dove behind a bed and used her Solid Script and rune capabilities to mess with the other girls when she couldn't grab a pillow. The brief battle was ended when a pillow, probably Erza's, nearly knocked over the lamp and lacrima TV. Luckily, Mira walked in precisely in time to catch the lamp and Lucy's and Lisanna's combined efforts kept the TV from falling and breaking.

"I'd say that was enough, wouldn't you agree?" Mira said, slightly sarcastically.

The other girls nodded, a little sheepishly, and cleaned the room back up. Lucy claimed the bathroom next so she could get changed and when she came back out, everyone else was packing or double-checking the room for anything left behind. Noticing Levy walking with an extreme limp, Lucy helped her carry her luggage over to the door. "What's wrong, Levy-chan?"

Levy grimaced. "My feet are just really, really sore from last night."

"I didn't think the heels were that high." Mira said, as she braided Juvia's hair.

"They weren't that bad. I was just literally dancing from the beginning of the festival to the fireworks."

"Speaking of the fireworks, you never did tell us where you were during them." Lisanna said, as she set her suitcase next to Levy's.
