[Rogue]

Rogue woke up as soon as the train came screeching to a stop. Yukino and the exceeds were already awake, and Rogue almost threw up again at the mere thought of the train continuing. He knew he would never be able to conquer his motion sickness.

Finally, after three long hours we're here...

When they got off, he bid Yukino farewell, and wished her luck on her job with Lucy.
"Remember, don't tell Sting about that... I won't tell him about you either ."

Rogue tried to shut himself up.

Why did it have to be so hard to communicate?

He had to whisper too, just in case Frosch picked it up. Lector was his partner in crime here, and Rogue loved Frosch more than anything in the world, but he knew the little exceed could not keep a secret.

Yukino blushed again, at the very mention of Sting.

"Sure. Thanks again."

Still shocked from Rogue's news, she
absentmindedly waved goodbye, and headed toward Fairy Tail.

Lector made eye contact with Rogue.

"Let's do this. Executing plan Stingyu!"

"Hm."

"Fro thinks so too!"

Rogue lost it and began aggressively petting Frosch, making sure she didn't run off.

"I love you Frosch!"

"Fro loves you too!"

"Rogue... come on!" Lector whispered impatiently tapping his foot on the ground.

Our plan is genius! Lector thought, pretty much bursting from excitement. We deceive Yukino by using Minerva's request to come to Magnolia, shop until she's surely left Fairy Tail, and head to the meeting at the guild! Not Sting, nor Yukino, neither know the plan!

"Right." Replied Rogue, tightly hugging Fro.

Three days ago, Lector had come to him, his eyes gleaming, and told him about what Sting had said in his sleep. Rogue already knew, but he decided to talk with Lector about them, and next thing they knew, they had made the ship name, arranged their time at Fairy Tail, and told Minerva he would be going to Magnolia for her. How had he become Sting's love counselor?

They went grocery shopping first, for about an hour and a half, just to make sure Yukino left Fairy Tail.

Rogue looked carefully for all the ingredients Minerva wanted, and bought her the best kind of each one. Minerva's cooking was the best, and she often made high level meals that required rare ingredients. She was making magic enhancing cookies and he couldn't wait to help her bake.

Being honest with himself, Rogue was lovesick for Minerva too. She was terrifyingly beautiful, could be serious when she wanted to be, and not happy go lucky like Sting. She was a calm individual Rogue felt he could trust as well as associate with. Of course, Minerva didn't know yet, but as soon as the plan to bring Sting and Yukino worked, Rogue felt like he could be brave enough to do anything. Expressing himself and not having strange awkward conversations with Minerva would be much easier then.

Even this is out of my normal self, why am I bothering with this? I shouldn't care about Sting's relationship at all. But now I'm all aboard the "ship" too. Thanks, Lector.

When they were done, Rogue, Frosch and Lector headed to the Fairy Tail Guild. They had made a appointment with a very important someone, of course.
