(Erza's P.O.V)

We all watched as Lucy and Teral left the Dining Hall to go to the Forbidden Woods. "She really has a lot of faith in us to not even know a single thing in this plan of hers. Hopefully we will have an army before the week is up." Gray informed looking down at the table. I cleared my throat and straightened my back. "If we are going to help her then let's begin planning. We need to evacuate the city and need it done before our seven days are up. So, how are we going to get over thousands of citizens to leave not only calmly, but without the need of using force?"

"We could tell them that Lucy said to leave Aria! They'll listen to her since she is the Light Goddess!" Happy spoke with his paw in the air like he solved a difficult puzzle. "That would be the only solution. Now how many are we going to take over the border? If we bring them all at the same time then we would have very little chance of controlling the crowd." I asked to to all of them.

We all sat there brainstorming about our situation. Natsu hit his head on the table. "Man~! I'm beginning to get bored!" Natsu's shoulders slumped with him hitting his head again. "Keep doing that Flame Breath and you're gonna break the table!" Natsu put his foot on the table with him leaning over Gray. "What did you say stripper?" Gray butted his head against Natsu with him now grabbing Natsu's collar. "You heard me! Quit hitting you idiotic head on the table and help us think!" Before a throw down started, Wendy shrieked like a idea hit her. "Please don't fight! I have a plan in mind!" Natsu and Gray didn't take their eyes off each other, but slowly started to sit back down without ever stopping the staring contest. "What's your plan Wendy?" I asked deciding wether if I should hit Natsu and Gray to sleep.

Wendy nervously played with her hands. "Well...I read in one of the history books  that said the population of Aria had almost three thousand people, but it may be four thousand now in today's time. So, if two of us take about five hundred people and we do this two times everyday switching with each other, it could take us about five days in total to securely evacuate the entire city!" Wendy concluded and kept her eyes on her hands.

I was astounded by an amazing plan that I haven't even thought of. I really need to begin reading more on history... Natsu and Gray smirked and both patted Wendy on the back. "That doesn't bad at all Wendy! I say we do this!" Natsu said having a childish grin as usual. Gray nodded in agreement. "Agreed. I say this is the best plan yet. Job well done Wendy." I replied while congratulating her. Wendy blushed from all of the praising she was receiving. "Thank you..." Wendy whispered, tightening her hold on Carla.

"Wait a minute!" Happy shouted making our attention set on him. "Isn't the nearest town three days away? How are we going to get back in time?" Happy asked. I sighed and stood up. "Then we won't take them to a town. Instead when we take them over the border make a campsite big enough for them. I say the farthest the people should be is two hours away from Aria. Where they will be is up to the first group that takes them. I say that Gray and I will be in a group while Wendy and Natsu are the second one. Do we all agree?"

Everyone including the exceeds nodded.

"Then in the morning, we will inform the first part of the city to be prepared to move out. They will only have an hour to pack their belongings before it's time to leave. I want everyone to hear the news as well so they will also be ready to go. While Gray and I are gone Wendy and Natsu, you will be line of defense if anything or anyone attacks the city. Also you will keep the citizens calm to not start panic. That's the last thing we need on our hands. Do I make myself clear?"

"We got this Erza. We're going to need all the rest we can get for tomorrow." Gray replied with a smirk plastered to his face with now only wearing boxers. "Your clothes Gray." Wendy said hiding her eyes. Gray cursed under his breath before retracing his steps to find his garments. "And we can't tell Luce about this?" Natsu asked to me. I nodded once and closed my eyes. "Lucy informed us to not tell her or else the enemy will have information on us. This may only be an evacuation plan, but we can't take any chances."

Gray had an evil expression. "So Flame Breath, your the one who broke Lucy's curse?" Gray asked after finding his pants. Natsu turned another direction trying to hide his blush. "Yea. So what?"

"Did you finally kiss her?" Natsu choked on air and began to cough hysterically. "KISS HER? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Look you're getting the wrong idea! I only promised to her that we would be there for her! I don't have that type of feeling towards my nakama!"

"Whatever you're totally in looove~!" Happy said purring the word 'love' out. Natsu banged his head in a column guessing he could knock himself out. "You idiots really need to stop thinking like that! She's only a family member and that's it! Nothing more and nothing less." Natsu huffed as if trying to regain his breath and tapped his foot impatiently showing him wanting to leave the room now.

"Well then it's settled. We wake up nice and early to tell the news to Adroath and the citizens. Tomorrow is a busy day for us. Get some sleep." I walked to the doors and started to go back to my room.
The others went their way back to their chambers as well for the need to sleep. The hallways were quiet with the moonlight shining through the colored glass pane. I reached the second floor and took a right to go to the third door on the left of the hallway. I gently opened the door and closed it behind me. Without a second thought, I jumped into the comfortable feathered bed with my mind drifting to sleep.

"I hope you know what you're doing, Lucy..." I said and finally let sleep take over me.
