(Approx. 3AM IN THE MORNING)

Hunter stood outside the guild doors at the dead of night. Almost everyone had gone home except Levy and Wendy who stayed to watch over Gale in the infirmary.

"Really, 3 in the flippin morning, Hunter!" Nashi barked clearly annoyed as she approached. Dark circles were under her eyes and chilly cold breeze made her shiver. Hunter rolled his eyes before taking off his coat and giving it to Nashi. She snuggled herself in it with a pleasing smile.

Storm arrived not long after. "What exactly are we doing here?" He asked with a yawn.

"I got a job from Mira so everyone thinks we're out at Bosco defeating Vulcans for a week. That gives us a week to find Alexis." Hunter explained causing Storm and Nashi to click with realisation over Hunter's actions. "I already contacted someone from Quatro Cerberus that can help us locate her." He added.

"Neat plan...so what are we doing here, at the guild?" Nashi questioned.

"We're here to get Gale. I figured if we ran into the guys that beat him up, he's want payback." Hunter responded. They all glanced up at the window of the infirmary.

"If Aunt Wendy is up there, I think our best bet is to just ask. There is no way that I'm going against the infamous Sky Dragon." Storm announced slightly shivering with fear.

"You're such a loser. Aunt Wendy isn't that scary." Nashi laughed at the raven-haired boy and snickered.

"Shut up, Flame Brain, she'd wipe the floor with your ugly face." Storm responded harshly crossing his arms over his chest. Nashi growled angrily at him.

"Don't call me Flame Brain, Ice Princess!" She retorted butting her forehead against his.

"What are you gonna do if I don't stop, huh Flame Brain?" Storm taunted with a smirk spread across his lips. Nashi grunted and ignited her palms with fire.

"I'm going t-" Before she could finish, Hunter hit both of them hard on the head. They both plummeted to the ground.

"Knock it off. We're doing what Storm said." Hunter stated.

*In the guild*

Gale looked up at the ceiling with an annoyed expression on his face. It was 3 in the morning and yet he was wide awake thanks to the disturbing chatter of his mother and Wendy. How could two women talk for hours on end? He thought to himself.

"You and Romeo already have little Skyler so why haven't you tied the knot?" Levy asked the blushing long blue haired woman. Skyler was the 4 year old daughter of Wendy and Romeo and also the most adorable/cute toddler in Fairy Tail.

Wendy opened her mouth to answer when the door opened revealing Hunter, Nashi and Storm.

"Please tell me you're here to take me away." Gale groaned as he sat up on his bed.

"As a matter of fact, yes." Nashi answered him. This made Levy, Wendy and Gale widen their eyes. "We're going on a missio-"

"No, he's injured so he's not going." Levy cut in.

"MOM!" Gale shouted.

"No buts, Gale, I'm not letting you leave this bed." Levy scolded glaring at her son. That made him shut up. Levy sighed and looked back at the teens. "Sorry kids but I'm not allowing this."

"We'll be sure to keep him safe. It's not anything extreme, it's just dealing with pervert-y vulcans in Bosco." Storm assured. "Just think of it as a vacation from all the hard missions we always go on." Sweat started to roll down his forehead as he did a fake reassuring smile. Levy crossed her arms over her chest narrowing her eyes at Storm. Her stare felt as if it was piercing into his soul.

"What he says is true, I won't allow any bad to happen to your son." Hunter added sternly looking into Levy's hard stared. He didn't flinch.

"Let them go." Levy's eyes softened and she turned to the source of the voice. Wendy sat there and sighed. "We both know Hunter is capable of keeping Gale out of trouble."

"Hey what up about us two?" Nashi complained gesturing to herself and Storm. They were clearly offended that Wendy only said Hunter.

"Right, you too." Wendy added with an innocent smile. She got up and started putting vials of medicines into a bag.

"Fine, I'll allow it." Levy announced causing all four teens to cheer with triumph. "But if anything happens to my baby, you'll all be punished." Even for a petite lady, she was frightening. Even Hunter gulped.

"Not a baby. I'm nearly a certified adult." Gale stated swinging his legs to the side of the bed. He bit his lip trying to stifle a groan. Wendy let out a puff of air and handed Storm a small medicine bag.

"When he feels pain, give him a little bit of this medicine." She ordered. Storm nodded.

Gale got up on his feet and limped his way to his friends. "Bye old ladies." He waved them off as all four teens exited the guild.

When the team approached the train station, Gale slumped onto one of the benches. "We're not actually going to Bosco, are we?" He asked in between his panting for air. He wouldn't admit it but he was in pain.

"No." Storm responded softly looking up to the stars.

"You realise we're going against the Master's wishes, right?" Gale mentioned. Nashi inwardly felt a little regret. Master Laxus gave very very severe punishments but this time it involved his daughter. When they came back they would be in for the punishment of a lifetime.

"Master Laxus's wishes are the least of our concerns right now." Hunter voiced with little emotion. "We're doing this and there's no question on it."
