Gray laid on the ground defeated. He was left alone, bruises and wounds were showing. All he could do was lay there motionlessly as he recalled back his memories with his mentor. Footsteps were heard and they stopped behind him. "What's the matter? Is that all you've got?" asked a familiar voice. "Wake up, Gray! Wake up, Gray! How lame... You sure got beaten to a pulp."

"Natsu... Blue ... Blossom ..." said Gray weakly. "Why are you all here?"

"We couldn't find our way to the village," replied blue. "And blossom kept fighting with Natsu about which directions to take, so we returned to high ground."

"Come one," said Natsu as he grabbed Gray by the shirt. "Let's go."

"Matte!" said the Ice Mage. "I can walk... Where's Lyon?" he asked as he slowly stood up.

"I don't know, d'aho." said blossom . "There's no one else here and the ceremony has ended, d'aho."

Gray suddenly winced in pain and was about to fall when Natsu grabbed him and carried him like a sack of potatoes. "Damn!" cursed Natsu as he began to head towards the village. "If Lucy gets bullied, it'll be our fault!"

"Natsu..." said Gray weakly, gritting his teeth.

"Yeah?" responded the Fire Dragon Slayer.

"I have no right to reprimand you. No right at all!" he said as a tear trickled down.

"Don't start grumbling just because you lost, d'aho!" yelled blossom angrily as she landed harshly on his head, giving him a surprise. "I told you 'don't die', not 'win', d'aho!"

"That's right," said blue with a determined smile. "We are Fairy Tail, the guild that doesn't know the meaning of the word 'stop'. We can't live if we don't keep running forward."

"So quit sulking like a miserable old man!" yelled Natsu as they ran towards the village. And just like before, they encountered two routes. One led to the left while the other was to the right. "Let's go!" he said as he head towards right, but blossom pulled him back.

"I say we go left, d'aho." She said as he headed towards the other route.

Natsu pulled her back. "No, right!"

"Left, d'aho!"

"Right!"

"Left, d'aho!"

"Right!"

"Left, d'aho!"

"Right!"

"Left, d'aho!"

"Left!"

"Right, d'aho-" blossom stopped as soon as she realized the pink-haired boy's trick.

"I won!" yelled Natsu happily before he dragged blue towards the right route. "In your face, you fat feline!"

"Come back here, d'aho!" yelled the Exceed angrily with irk marks all over her face before chasing the boy.

"Why do I have to get involved?" muttered blue with a giant sweat drop on the back of her head.

After arguing at a lot of two routes, they finally arrived at the village. The main entrance opened as Natsu ran towards Lucy and the villagers with Gray and blue, who had passed out from Natsu dragging her all over the place. Blossom was behind going after him. "Minna! Are you okay?" he asked.

Lucy screamed. "Natsu!" screamed Happy.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!" she yelled.

"What?" questioned Natsu.
