Mini pushed herself off the carriage, hearing another set of wheels approach. Her arms were the only warmth she could give herself, wrapping them around her own chest and rubbing her arms. She swore it was the coldest she'd ever been. Not liking how she could see her breath be seen clearly in the frozen air.
Another carriage was approaching, and she watched it slowly stop ahead of the one she had been leaning against. She was quite thankful.
"Heh, Loki I didn't think you'd be driving coach with how cold it is,"Mini chuckled but she couldn't really smile since she was freezing.
"You could say I was forced to,"Loki climbed down as the door to the carriage he had driven. five unexpectedly got out when she was believing only two would,"Mini, meet Gray, Erza, and Happy. They're apart of Fairy tail."
"And they're crazy strong,"Gemi wheezed at the tight ropes around his arms and torso.

"W-Well we don't need to fight anymore,"Mini assured.

"Tell Princess I am sorry,"Virgo spoke bluntly through her own ropes.
"No, seriously-"
"Where's Nashu?"a blue flying cat, Happy asked. Mini sighed.
"Trying to get to that-"
"He better not be hurt,"the woman, Erza warned, giving her a glare that sent shivers up her spine.
"He's in the carriage-"
Gray walked forward, making Mini pissed she wasn't being listened to.
Mini walked in front of him,"Will you just listen!?"she suddenly yelled, growling at Gray especially,"We're-"
She almost snapped as the other carriage door opened gaining everyone's attention as Natsu jumped out and closed it behind him.
"Nashu!"Happy called to the pinky, flying to him. Natsu put his hand on Happy's furry head.
"Hey, who did you steal the ride from?"he asked with a small laugh.
"We didn't steal it! We paid to rent it to chase after you and the carriage!"Gray growled.

"So?"Erza got to the point.
"If you hurt Princess Lucille,"Gemi glared at Natsu.
"She's unconscious,"Natsu informed.
"What did you do to Princess?"Virgo stared at him blankly, but even she  brought out a murderous aura.
"I was trying to get to that! But everyone decided not to listen to me!"Mini yelled, getting their attention, finally.
"Mini, you're suppose to be the level-headed one,"Loki held back a laugh.
"Shut up!"she growled,"I was going to say! We're on the same side here so there's no need to fight, at least not for now. I don't know what your intentions are with Princess, but I know that none of you are the enemies. Princess is unconscious because I stopped to quickly and she hit her head."
"If we're on the same side,"Erza leaned down and began untying Gemi and then Virgo,"I apologize for such behavior we had showed towards you both."
Gemi sighed,"That's a light way of saying you kicking our ass'."
Loki turned his head to the the carriage holding Lucy,"We should leave, it's night and who knows what creatures will come to torture us,"he spoke,"We have two rides now, I'm sure all of can go to the next town. It should not be too far, we'd reach there by sunrise."
"I agree, let us be off. The sooner, the better,"Erza stated.
