Chapter Twenty.

"A what?" Aine questioned.

"A camp out!" Lucy said. The whole group, both boys and girls, were in a group, talking to each other through their cameras.

"It'll be fun! Living outdoors for the night would be great to give us connect with our powers." Jellal said.

"How so?" Aine questioned.

"No technology to distract us." Erza said.

"What are you all planning?" Aine asked.

"We're not planning anything!" Yukino said. Aine sat back in her chair and folded her arms.

"You can all go without me." Aine stated.

"What?! Why?!" Lucy exclaimed.

"You don't need me there. It's as simple as that." Aine stated.

"I don't think you should be alone at the moment Ai." Levy said. Aine looked away. She then sighed.

"Why do you all want to do this so badly? And why does it have to be tonight? Why not tomorrow?" Aine questioned.

"Because when we make plans, they always get ruined. Please Ai-Ai!" Lucy begged. Aine sighed once again.

"Fine." She said.

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.

"Where are we camping?" Aine asked.

"The hill behind the dorms." Levy said.

"Why there?" Aine questioned.

"Why do you need to question everything?" Lucy asked. Aine just looked away and Lucy sighed.

"Alright. Let's meet outside the dorms in two hours. That will give us plenty of time to pack." Erza said.

"Alright!" Everyone said before logging off. Aine sighed as she went to her bed and laid on it.

"What's wrong Ai?" Dust asked.

"I can't help but feel like they're planning something." Aine said.

. . .

"Where is she?" Natsu asked with a groan.

"She's late." Lucy sighed.

"I'm not surprised." Levy said.

"She does carry a lot of luggage." Wendy said.

"Don't forget she also needs to get the president." Sting said.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Someone said. Everyone looked and their jaws dropped. Erza was standing there with over twenty bags flying behind her.

"Erza! We're only going for one night!" Jellal said.

"Where's Ai?" Lucy asked. Aine then poked her head out from behind Erza's back. She had her hair in two long low plats and looked really cute. "So cute!" Lucy cried as she began to suffocate Ai with her breasts.

"Lucy! You're going to kill her!" Levy gasped.

"Can't... breathe..." Aine said.

"Sorry!" Lucy exclaimed as she let Aine go. Aine sighed.

"Why do you always do that?" Aine asked.

"Did Dust do your hair again?" Levy questioned.

"That's why it took us so long to get here." Dust groaned as she appeared from behind Aine. She then plopped herself on Aine's head. "When are you getting a hair cut?" Dust questioned.

"I don't know." Aine said.

"We better go to the hill and sort out the tents before it gets dark." Gray said.

"We'll also need to sort out the fire and food." Natsu said.

"Let's go then." Erza said. The large group all left the dorms and began to walk around them. Once they were outside the back of the dorms, the group walkes up a larges steep hill. The only thing that kept them climbing without collapsing was Aine using her magic to push them all up. It took them around 10 minutes to climb the hill. There was a tree with a bench at the top.

"Wow. This place is nice." Sting said.

"This is where we girls come when we're having a picnic." Lucy smiled.

"Really?" Yukino gasped.

"Aha. We even come out here and drink hot chocolate in the winter when it snows." Levy said.

"I can't wait to join you girls this year." Wendy said with a smile.

"It's always fun and the more the merrier." Erza said.

"Instead of chatting, we should start setting everything up." Jellal said.

"Good point." Sting said.

"Done..." Someone said. Everyone looked and saw all the tents set up. They then saw Aine wiping some sweat off her forehead as she sat by a tent.

"The hell?!" Natsu exclaimed as he flinched back.

"Speed machine!" Lucy exclaimed as she flinched back.

"Good job Aine." Erza said. Aine nodded.

. . .

Three hours had gone by. It was now dark. They were all sat by the fire rating melted marshmallows as they told each other stories. They were all sat in their sleeping bags outside their tents.

"Hey, hey! Remember when Lucy got her hair stuck in the door?" Natsu asked with a laugh.

"Not funny Natsu!" Lucy exclaimed.

"How did you get your hair stuck in the door?" Yukino gasped as she covered her mouth with one hand.

"It was actually the door's lock." Aine said as she ate a marshmallow.

"Ai-Ai!" Lucy exclaimed.

"She thought she could open the door lock with her hair because of a movie." Gray said with a laugh.

"Guys!" Lucy exclaimed as her face began to turn red.

"Seriously?!" Sting asked with a laugh.

"What about the time Gray accidentally froze his own pants while wearing them?!" Lucy exclaimed with her cheeks puffed out.

"Luce!" Gray exclaimed. Everyone then laughed.

"Wasn't he aiming for Natsu as well?" Erza questioned.

"No. He was aiming for the teacher but they reflected the magic." Aine stated while chewing a marshmallow.

"Guessing you like marshmallows then." Natsu said. Aine looked up at Natsu, before looking at a small bow of marshmallows she had in her hands. She then bit into another one while looking away. Lucy giggled.

"She once got one stuck in her hair." Lucy said.

"Really? You don't seem the type to let that happen." Rogue said. Aine nodded.

"Dust threw it at me and I tried to catch it." Aine explained while taking another bite of the marshmallow.

"The first one hit the middle of her head." Dust snickered.

"Did you guys hear about the time Lily almost knocked Gajeel out by accident?" Happy asked.

"You told them?!" Gajeel exclaimed.

"In full detail too." Carla said.

"Hehehehe. Who knew you had a soft spot for her Gajeel?" Dust questioned.

"Shut up!" Gajeel exclaimed with a red face.

"What's the story?" Sting questioned.

"He was daydreaming about a certain girl after their little date and wasn't listening to me, so I got his pillow and hit him with it, however I went stronger than what I intended to do." Lily explained.

"It wasn't a date!" Gajeel exclaimed.

"Aw, how cute Gajeel." Wendy giggled as she hugged Carla.

"I didn't think Gajeel had a soft spot." Romeo said.

"Shut it kid!" Gajeel exclaimed.

"It's getting late. We better get to sleep." Erza said.

"It's only 10:30." Aine said.

"Don't you like being asleep before midnight?" Lucy questioned.

"It takes me twenty minutes to fall asleep." Aine said.

"Don't keep asking questions. Let's go." Dust said as she turned into her human form. She then pushed Aine into her tent. "Night." She said. The others looked at each other and nodded. They then all went into their tents and waited for Erza to come and get them.

Half an hour later...

Erza had gone to every tent, except for Aine's, and had gathered everyone together. They all walked to Aine's tent and Erza walkes in to see if she was asleep. When she came out, she was pulling a sleeping Aine and exceed form Dust from the tent. She then pulled the two into an area where the moon shined the most. Afterwards, they sat in a circle around her and held hands.

"Remember. Only think of Aine." Erza said. Everyone nodded before closing their eyes. A light from the moon had gone around the group as they concentrated their thoughts on Aine. Soon, they all opened their eyes and saw they were outside the school building.

"Are we at school?" Gray questioned.

"Aw, man! Why here?!" Natsu exclaimed. Suddenly Jellal had put his hand over Natsu's mouth.

"Sh. Aine is here too." Jellal said. Everyone looked forward and saw the Aine they knew, sat there, watching two people from the distance. One was a male. His back was facing the group so they couldn't see a face, however they saw his messy black hair. He was also wearing some sort of uniform. They could see another version of Aine standing opposite him. She was giggling. She looked the same, however her hair was in a bun and she showed a lot more emotion on her face. She also wore a dress that looked like it was from the 1600's.

"No way. Is that Aine?" Lucy gasped. The past Aine stopped giggling as her entire face turned bright red. The man in front of her leaned down slightly and Aine put her arms around his neck while standing on her tiptoes. They looked at each other before sharing a kiss.

"Awwwwwwww!" All the girls gasped loudly. The present Aine's eyes went wide as she turned her head.

"Oh crap." Erza mumbled.

"What... are you..." She said. Her eyes then went wider as she looked at the couple. The past Aine looked at them and the man was about to turn his head. The present Aine then turned back around and put her hands out. "You're not supposed to be here!" She shouted as a strong wind pushed them all back. The man then looked forward at the group. No one saw him, except for one White dragon slayer. Sting's eyes went wide as he saw ruby red eyes and a pale face. Just then, everyone found themselves floating around the camp area with a missing Aine.

"Aine!" Lucy shouted. Everyone looked and saw Aine running down the hill with Dust following her. As she reached the bottom of the hill, the others fell to the ground.

"Damn it. We shouldn't have done it." Erza said.

"We didn't even see the man's face." Gray said with a groan. Everyone else then groaned, except for Sting who was staring at his best friend.

"What?" Rogue questioned.

"Nothing..." Sting said. "It couldn't have been... Could it?" Sting thought.
