THE floor beneath Gabbriel swayed side-to-side as it moved through the water. Usually she would be a little on edge like she always is whenever she goes near large bodies of water, or any pool that was too deep.
But the pinch between her temples and the way this conversation started to go really distracted her.
"Wait, wait, wait," Gabbriel chanted, putting her head in her hand. Her eyes squeezed themselves shut. "Let me get this right."
"Mm," Gajeel hummed, motioning her to continue.
"Master Jose is going to launch Jupiter at Fairy Tail's guildhall, where they all are at right now?" Gajeel nodded, making Gabbey look to the ceiling in disbelief. "That'll kill Lucy then! How is that going to work?"
"Well, he is hoping they transport her to a sort of safehouse. If they do that, I could go track her down." Gajeel shrugged.
"That's all on a very big 'if'," Gabbey complained lightly, her stomach churning slightly as the building trembled beneath them. She stopped suddenly, going over the sentence in her head. "Wait. . .You say 'I'. . ."
Gajeel raised an eyebrow.
"What am I supposed to do?" This time, Gajeel shifted a bit. Gabbey raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. "Gajeel. . ."
"Er, he said something about guarding the room. . ." Gajeel finally admitted.
There was a small moment of silence, which wasn't a good sign. It was confirmed within the next second as a flash of irritation broke through their bond, Gabbey turning around to kick a pillar.
"What?!" Gabbey sneered, not bothering to watch the large chunk of it fly down the hallway. Red eyes met each other head on. Gajeel was used to her random moments of anger. It didn't happen often, but it still was a scene. "What the hell does that mean?! I have to babysit!"
Gajeel put a hand on her shoulder, in a successful attempt to calm her down. "Calm down. It won't be for too long. Besides, if you do this, you can even join me with the fight against Salamander."
"Really?" Gabbey murmured, her frustration slowly leaving her body. Gajeel nodded, pulling the bond with reassurance.
"Really."
"Even if that means that I show you up?" Gabbey teased lightly, a small smirk on her face.
"Oh, we all know I'm the powerhouse here," Gajeel retorted lightly, giving her shoulder a small squeeze.
The sudden stillness of the building did not go unnoticed by them. The twins sniffed the air, jogging to a nearby window to see outside. Gabbey desperately tried to ignore the great sea of blue that separates Fairy tail's guild hall from Phantom Lord's.
The intercom in the guild crackled to life, and Master Jose's voice filled the air. While he droned on about something - Gajeel put up a gloved fist.
"Get that rematch with the Ice-mage, I'm sure that'll be an easy beat. Maybe Erza, geehee," Gajeel's famous chuckle made Gabbey chuckle as well. She raised her own gloved fist and knocked it against his.
"Oh, I will. I'm saving my power for the Fire Dragon, though." With an exchange of cheeky grins, the twins split to have their own fights.
For now, at least.

AN irritated snarl escaped Gabbey's mouth as she stalked down the hallway. She was on her way to the top of the building, when she found out that Jupiter's single shot was blocked by none other than Erza Scarlet.
