And She's Gone {A Fairy Tail Fanfiction}

=1 : The Sad, Sad Truth=

==3:30 P.M. Train, Heading Towards Magnolia==

=POV: Luna Orlando, Sabertooth's Stellar Mage=

"Ugh, somebody save me!" Sting groaned and doubled over in his seat. His stomach was grumbling rather loudly, almost as if he wants to barf.

Beside him, Rogue was trying to keep a calm face, but it was pretty obvious that he wanted so badly to jump out the train window and scream, 'FREEDOM!' at the top of his lungs. Alas, Milady Minerva Orlando was there to punch them until they fell asleep.

Luna yawned and sat straight up from her position in middle of The Twin Dragons. Sting's awful groaning had woken her up, annoyingly. Why can't he just keep his stupid groaning quiter, like Rogue's?

Sitting across from her, Minerva rolled her eyes. She used her magic, Territory, and created a portal. She pushed her hand inside, and it reappered right beside Sting. She punched him in the stomach, causing him to pass out and Luna to sigh in relief. "Arigato ne, nee-san."

==Translation: Thanks, Big Sis.==

Minerva rolled her eyes. "Yeah, whatever. He was bugging me, anyway."

The mission they had taken was to find a bandit that steals cakes. Sting was the one who suggested that mission, hoping that he might meet someone or whatever. She vaguely remembered Sting and Rogue both idolizing someone from Fairy Tail, Nashu and Jeegal, or someone.

Due to the idiotic Sting's plea's to stay away from the train a little longer, he, Rogue, Minerva, and Luna became late for the 1 O'clock train. Rufus aand Orga decided to go on ahead, stating that they'll tell the person who sent the request that their team members were late.

Minerva was totally pissed off by Sting. First, he chose a job to catch a cake robber of all things! Next, he shows up late for the train, complying them to wait for the next train ride, which was two hours later. And finally, he had been complaining non stop, making Luna just want to punch the living daylights out of him. Unfortunately, Minerva had beaten her to it.

Minerva stared out the train window, deep in thought. She had worn her regular Eastern-looking strapless blue dress with a slit on her left leg, going all the way to her thigh. Her glossy black hair reached down to her lower back. While mostly left loose, her hair is also tied into a pair of bun-shaped loops at the side of her head, and a braid is present a few inches below it. Her makeup was similar to that of a Japanese Geisha.

Luna thought something weird was up. Rogue was hardly ever quiet, Sting barely complained on the last train ride they had, and Minerva never pondered on things for too long a time. On top of that, both Rufus and Orga had actually agreedto go there early together. They absolutely do not get along! They would rather have both Minerva and she beat them up rather than talk to each other!

Luna sighed. Also, earlier that morning Master Jiemma had warned her not to show her face in Magnolia at any costs. She wondered what was wrong with a pretty face with shoulder length blonde hair and brown eyes, but she never quesstioned the master. She never had, and she never will.

Luna followed Minerva's gaze out of the window and saw the fast-moving blurry scenes of a meadow before them.

Luna looked back and forth from Minerva's look of thinking, to Sting's contorted face of pain, and Rogue's calm expression over and over again. And then, she sighed.

This was going to be a very long train ride.

=POV: Natsu Dragneel=

"Oi, Happy, have you seen Lucy yet? I wonder if she's gotten heavier these past few years!" Natsu grinned at his flying partner/best friend, who was happily munching on a fish above him.
