because of you ☞ Gray Fullbuster

All Changelings! Is This a Good Enough Goodbye?

"There's a weird job posted!" Natsu pointed to the weird poster.

"What's this?" Gray asked, examining the job request.

"Oh, Natsu. Welcome back." Loke made his way to the request board.

"Hey, Loke." Natsu said, not even turning back. "Let's see. . . 'Please decipher. . .'"

"What's it?" Lucy popped in, Loke jumping when he noticed her.

"You're back too, Lucy?!" The Lion spirit shouted in surprise.

"Of course I am. I was with Natsu and the others." Lucy crossed her arms. "Why are you so freaked out?"

"No, I'm just-- Bye!"

"All of you!" Erza stepped in Loke's way, accidentally knocking him out. "You know this is no time for that!"

"So weak." Lucy bent down to check to make sure Loke wasn't severely hurt.

"Geez, how noisy. . ." Cana trailed off, sipping her beer.

"Shut up, Cana." Liz sighed,

"Stop that, Liz."

"Wizards really are awesome!" Romeo cheered in delight.

"Hey, now. . ." Cana trailed off,

"Please decipher the meaning of this writing. Solve it, and I'll pay you five hundred thousand jewel. Whoa, awesome! It's worth five hundred thousand!"

"Decipher some writing?" Gray rose an eyebrow.

"That's an unusual job." Gray looked over Natsu's shoulder.

"Wait, this is ancient script!" Liz snatched the paper away from the dragon slayer.

"Who can possibly read this?" Natsu stood up, also trying to get the paper back.

"But there's a modern transliteration next to it." Ash pointed to it, "check it out."

"I told you to stop." Erza put her foot down, glaring at the mages.

"Oh, I can read this! Let's see here. . ."

"Natsu, don't you dare, who knows what it could do."

Natsu ignored her, and read the spell, but became flustered. "I don't know what that means at all!" Two question marks appeared next to his head.

Suddenly, a rainbow spewed from the piece of paper. All of them were weirded out by it. It stopped a few seconds after.

"So cold!" Both Liz and Gray shivered at the same time.

"How can ice wizards be cold?" Elfman glared at the two of them. "Besides, Liz, you're a fire mage, how are you cool?"

"What are you talking about, you big goon?" Ash crossed his arms. "I'm right here. Wait. Why do I feel like I'm on fire?"

"What's going on? My insides are unusually cold!" Gray yelled, rubbing his arms.

"I feel heavy!" Lucy yelled, grabbing her chest.
