Wendy's POV:

My heat had started this morning and it was very painful. I clung to Chelia and refused to let go. She laughed and layed back on the bed with me. I nuzzled her and breathed in her scent. I'm glad all we have to do is mark, I'm not ready for... the other thing.

"Wendy, how are you feeling?" Chelia asks, her voice full of sincerity.

"I'm better now, it's still quite painful, but not as bad as when it really started." I answer. I feel the nod of her head and smile in content. 

-

A few hours pass and the heat continues to get worse. Eventually I have to have Chelia open the windows so I can cool off, but there's not much that it can do.

"Hey, I'm going to get you some ice and some food, what would you like?" She asks, raising from her position on the bed. I Make grabby hands at her and whine. "No, stay here, please!" I whimper and she sighs. "Alright, I suppose we can do a little longer without food." I nod and she lays back down.

"You know I was being sarcastic right, you need food." She says, wrapping her arms around me. I shrug and sigh.

"Alrighty then." She sighs in defeat and soon I hear light snores coming from her.

Lucy's POV:

Loke woke me up early this morning and said we were going out for lunch. We kind of sat around for awhile and talked and at around noon we were ready to head out. I was going to stop and check on everyone but Mira saw us and explained the whole heat thing, so our dominants are going to be a little more protective while their mates are in heat.

Loke leads me from the hotel and towards a restaurant that he said he'd heard was great for lunches. Along the way we ran into someone, or many someone's we hadn't expected to see.

Crime Sorciere.

Jellal walked towards me. "Lucy, right." He says first holding out a hand. I go to shake it but he pulls it to his lips and places a kiss on it, formally of course. I nod.

"Yes, what brings you here?"

"Well, we were sent a letter specifically for or Slayer, Cobra." I nod. "Well Midnight began feeling very hot this morning and since we'd been told where you all were, we decided to come." He explains and I nod.

"Well, I would explain everything, but Loke and I have plans, so I'll direct you to Mira and Erza." At the mention of Erza he begins to blush and I smirk.

"Right, well, let's go then." Cobra says and pushes past the others with Midnight in his arms. That's when I finally put 2-and-2 together. I begin to squeal. "Awwww, so Kawaii!!! Yessssss Midco!!!!!!!!!!!"

The others frown and tilt their heads. "Midnight and Cobra, their ship name." I say in a 'duh' tone.

Angel and Meredy nod and smirk. "Wonderful, now can you please take us to Mira?" Cobra asks, tone very rushed.

I nod and gesture for them to follow me to the hotel. Loke interlaces his fingers with mine and I blush slightly.

-

After leaving the others with Mira, Loke and I head back out. It's still lunch time by the time we make it to the restaurant.

Loke pulls out my chair after we are given our table. The waiter places a menu in front of us and asks us for our drink orders. "I'll have a tea." Loke answers.

"And for the beautiful lady?"

"Water for me, thank you." I answer and he nods, winking at me before walking away.

I shrug at the notion and begin reading the menu. "Ooh they have some of the best homemade ramen, my favorite!" I say and Loke laughs. "Get it if you want." My smile falters.

"It's so expensive though." He shrugs. "It's not that bad, won't hurt me. I plan to get the same." I nod and thank him over and over.

-

The waiter from before, who I've learned is named Logan, brings our drinks He sets Loke's tea and my water on the table before pulling out his notepad. "Are we ready to order." Loke nods and begins the order. "Two bowls of your famous ramen, please." The waiter writes this down and places down a stack of napkins before nodding. "Is that all?" He asks, continuously glancing my way. I nod and he smiles, "I'll have it out soon." I thank him and he walks away.

I then notice that in the small pile of napkins he sat on the table only moments ago had something sticking out of it. I grab the slip of folded paper from the middle of it.

Loke eyes it as I open it. Inside is a poorly written words. 'If you think about it, meet me at the pier tonight, we can get dinner. Logan' I shake my head and crumple the paper and toss it to the other side of the table.

-

We get our food about 20 or so minutes later. I looked at my wonderful lunch and smile. I thank the waiter and he nods, winking once more.

"So Princess, should we head back to the hotel after this?" I nod.

"Yeah, I want to check in on everyone."

"Sounds good." He replies and we begin our amazing lunch.

-

After lunch, Loke pays, even after me insisting constantly that I could get my own. He said he was the one who planned our little lunch date so it was only appropriate that he pays. I finally sighed in defeat and let him pay. Logan, handed me a paper when Loke turned away, which I shoved into my bag and turned hastily without another glance towards him.

Jelly-Bean's POV:

I sat on a couch in Mira and Erza's room. Erza was currently checking in on all the slayers. We were currently figuring out new rooming arrangements. "Okay, so Gray & Natsu, Laxus & Freed, Wendy & Chelia, Sting & Rogue and Gajeel & Levy will stay where they are." Before she could go any further a knock was heard. Mira opened the door to reveal Minerva of Sabertooth and two exceeds.

"Ah perfect, now we can get rooms all in order. Now all the aforementioned couples are together in their own rooms, next is Jellal & Erza, then Midnight & Cobra, then Yukino & Minerva, Angel & I. Racer & Hoteye, Lyon & Juvia, and last all five of the exceeds can have a room all together. Charle, if you want to, you can stay with Angel and I so you don't have to sleep in a room full of boys." Mira concludes and they all nod. She then walks from the room to rent four more rooms.
