So, maybe you remember in my last book how my computer would say that I wrote very few words like, 3 or 17 or something. Well, I just figured that out last chapter. Turns out, when I type the little >><< or <><> things my computer glitches weird and changes the number of words for no reason but my phone doesn't. I don't know why I decided to tell you this but here you go. Ok, Enjoyyyy!-

Lucy's P.O.V

"Levy, calm down!" I laugh, trying to get my best friend into the car. "We're going to get there at 3 in the morning if we don't hurry up!"

"I know, I'm just so...excited! Nervous! Scared...but...excited! Ah, so many emotions!!" She yells, jumping around.

"Well, you can tell me all about them once we actually start driving. Erza and Gray won't be able to greet us there if we take too long!" I say.

"Oh, oh! Wait, I forgot something!" She said, hurriedly running into her house.

I stand outside, leaning against the car for about half an hour until she comes back out with one extra bag. "What was that? It's been forever!"

"I just had to find something, sorry," She explained but then continued to just stand there and not get in the car.

"Are we gonna go or...?" I ask, leaving it as an opened ended question.

"I'm just waiting for Gajeel. He promised he'd be there to wish me off."

"Didn't he and Mira leave like, a week ago?"

"Yeah, but he's coming back, just to wish me off! Isn't that so sweet?!" Levy squealed.

"It'd be sweeter if he was on time..." I mumble into my hand as I let out a long sigh.

After about 20 minutes, Gajeel finally showed up, stumbling down the road, seemingly sick.

"Gajeel, are you ok?" I ask.

"Yeah, just..." He stopped mid-sentence to gag into his hand. "...motion sickness."

"Oh...right."

"Aw, why don't we get you in the car and you can sit for a sec?" Levy offered, looking at him worriedly.

"Car?! Oh, hell no!" He yelled in a sudden jerk, causing him to lay back down with a groan.

"We won't move, promise. Just a place for you to rest a bit." Levy assured.

"Levy, we really need to leave! Like, right now!" I whine.

"Just for a bit," Levy repeated, helping Gajeel into the backseat.

"Oh, I almost forgot we're all going to crocus. Think I could come with you guys? I don't think I could go on the train again..." Gajeel asked, holding his stomach.
