"Finished," Lucy sighed as she walked through the empty halls. It felt like just yesterday her friends had known her secret but it was only two weeks ago. Wendy had helped her tell Romeo, and they did have a talk for a while after Wendy left. For the next two weeks, there was no school work, what a relief.

"Natsu?" She tilted her head in surprise as she followed a trace of pink hair.

"Gajeel...?" Levy said in annoyance in the dining room. She tapped her index finger on her other elbow and closed her eyes in irration.

"Yeah?" He asked as he took a bite of his meal. Metal. That's what it was. Metal.

"Why is everyone being idiots?" She yelled in frustration, opening her eyes. Gajeel looked around. Natsu seemed pretty pissed when he was told to sit with the "commoners", aka, his friends.

Juvia wasn't fawning of Gray or being depressed, but really cheerful. Wendy had been out sick in her room, trying to stay out of sight, refusing dinner. It was surprising that Erza had refused cake from the chief and Jellal, well, no one had seen him in days.

"Are thou mocking me?" Natsu demanded. He dropped his cutlery on his plate and looked at the two.

"Since when did you ever talk like that?" Levy asked him. It was the first time in days that Natsu had looked pretty surprised.

"I am the Prince of the country, however else should I speak?" He demanded.

"He did it again," Gajeel pointed out. "If you're sick, I could get the nurse or Lucy to help you," Gajeel laughed as he teased Natsu.

"Why should I get a lowly servant as her heal me? My sister would handle me better," Natsu scoffed as he looked the other direction like a child.

"Wow, he rejected his own..." Levy said in surprise. She looked at Lucy. "And she doesn't seemed very fased by it, either," She sighed.

"Did you two get into a fight?" Gajeel asked.

"I am excusing myself from this table of lunatics who think they know me, don't go in my room, either of you," Natsu glared at both Gajeel and Levy.

"What's his problem..." Gajeel muttered.

"Isn't that how the prince always acts?" Lucy asked as she pushed her plate away.

"What's with you? 'Prince'? He's your boyfriend, for the love of Irene! Did something happen?" Levy yelled at her.

"Why would he ever date me, many people fancy him, he wouldn't choose someone of such a low status as I," Lucy stated the obvious. She had some sort of longing in her eyes yet she looked kind of glad. Levy was dumbfounded.

"You're even talking weird," Gajeel laughed. He had already taken out his phone to record everything.

"Whatever are you doing?" Gray demanded as he snatched the phone from Gajeel.

"Well, I assume you lot a drunk, well under-aged, but, it would be pretty funny to show you lot this later, and show Sting, and Rogue," Gajeel laughed as he took his phone back.

"He thinks we're drunk," Erza said. Gajeel looked at her. There seemed to be pink roses surrounding her.

"I give up, I'm going to bed early," Gajeel said as he began to walk out.

"You're not allowed to leave, you're Natsu's bodygaurd, you can't leave," Gray said.

"It's your shift right now, I can't believe you forgot, now, I want to go to sleep," Gajeel yawned as he walked out.

"I have to go, as well, I love me my books," Levy said nervously as she left the dining room.

"Do you think they're going to be okay?" Gajeel asked. They were in the library. Gajeel was watching Levy read a novel in the dim light. 

"It's been a day, they should be," Levy said as she continued.

"Then why are we hear?"

"Because I want to read and you're somewhat stalking me now," Levy murmured. Gajeel looked pretty red and hid his face with the nearest book. "You can always go outside and check, I don't want to be affected by their...?" Levy asked for a word.

"Weirdness?" He suggested.

"I don't want to be affected by their weirdness," She repeated. Gajeel opened the door and looked left and right.

"There's no one here, do you think they have jobs?" He asked.

"Doubt it, no one told us," Levy muttered as she put her book down. "Why are you so scared to go and look?" She asked.

"Well--"

"Miss Levy! Sir Gajeel! The Second Prince and Princess have disappeared along with their friends!"
