Episode 3

It was late in the evening when the train finally stopped at it's last stop; Oakland Village. It was a miscalculation on Lucy's part when she thought that the train would reach there by that morning.

It only remained the Fairy Tail members and the five exceeds when the finally reached Oakland Village. Immediately the train stopped, Sting and Natsu rushed out to kiss the sweet ground as they normally did. On a normal basis, Lucy would giggle at their antics but right now, she was too angry with them.

Not to mention that she was too busy arguing with Gray.

"Give it to me Luce!"

"Don't you dare call me 'Luce'!"

"Yeah! Don't you dare call Lucy 'Luce'! Only I can call her that, ice princess!" Natsu cut in.

Gray and Lucy turned to face him, thereby directing the glares that were meant for each other to him. Sting, who stood closest to Natsu could swear on his life that Natsu flinched.
"Shut up Natsu!" Gray and Lucy shouted simultaneously before they turned back to the other to continue with their heated argument.

The others -except Ron- felt guilty. It wasn't in Lucy's nature to argue, especially as she is arguing really hard now which meant they had really gotten to her this time. And it's going to take a long time to get her to forgive them.

"What do I have to do for you to give it to me Lucy?!" Gray could be heard asking in exasperation.
The glaring glint in her eyes suggested clearly to Gray that he wasn't going to like what she would say next. And he was right.

"How about you buy a ticket, get on a train to take you back to Magniola and never speak to me again?!" She placed her hands on hips as she finished speaking.

"C'mon Lucy, you know we can't do that!" To Gray right now, she was acting so stubborn that it wasn't even normal.

"Then I won't give it to you." She stated firmly.

Ron listened to the argument between two of the Fairy Tail members with growing irritatation. That was the after effect of his motion sickness; easy irritation. It lasts for a few hours after the motion sickness and it gives him a headache. He rubbed circles at the sides of his head, trying to ease the irritation and the headache but it wasn't working.

It would work better if some certain people didn't stop arguing. A voice in his head told him.

"Lucy." He called out. She didn't hear him.

"Lucy." He called out again, a little louder.

The dragon slayers turned their attention to him. But she still hadn't heard him.

"Lucy." He called again, louder than before.

Everyone except the bickering two turned their heads to him. His exceed, Kiko, flew over to him, knowing what was happening to him. The irritation and the headache grew.

"Lucy!" His voice was loud and it gained the attention if the two bickering people who jumped when he shouted, as the others did too.

Lucy who had finally turned her attention to the now angry dragon slayer, stared at him with worry. She also knew about his after effect and it hadn't crossed her mind while she argued with Gray that it would be worsening the irritation and headache.

This was all their fault.

"Are you alright?" Her voice was low and soft and it gave comfort to him.
