Gajeel's POV

"Are ya sure about this," I ask Pantherlily as we wait for Lucy and Mira to show up.

"Positive. It is better to do with now then for them to find her later," he tells me again.

"Do ya think it's too early?"

"Better early than late," Pantherlily tells me.

"What are you talking about," Lucy ask as she comes over to us.

"It was about the problem. Gajeel is not convince that it is good to tell you this early," Pantherlily says.

"I'm just caution," I tell him.

"Well don't be," Mira says.

"Alright. Is Salamander or anyone gonna come," I ask.

"Nope. I told him that I was going to stay with Mira for a sleep over," Lucy says.

"Alright. Let's head out," I say as we walk towards my house.

"So what is this problem of yours," Mira ask.

"It's better if we explain it in detail at our house, but if hafta do with this war," I tell them.

"Ok," Lucy says as we walk in silence.

We soon leave the safety of the rune around the town. We sneak through the woods until we get to our house. We can see the lights on.

"Is that your house," Lucy ask.

"Yup," Pantherlily says as we get closer.

"Why did you leave your lights on," Mira ask.

"Ya will see when we get there. Also, don't freak out," I tell them as we get to the front door.

Levy's POV

I hear the door opens up as I peak around the kitchen wall to see Gajeel there. I see two people behind him.

"Hey! Who is with you? Two people from your Guild," I ask as he steps in.

"Yeah. I told 'em not ta freak out when they see ya. Are ya cooking?"

"Yup! I got bored so I read the cook book after I finish reading your other books and decided to make dinner!"

"That's cool," Gajeel said as Pantherlily and the two girls walk in. "Mira, Lucy, this is Levy. Lev, this is Mira and Lucy."

I wave to them from behind the wall. My wings are still hidden and I'm not wearing any boots.

"Hi. It's nice to meet you," Lucy tells me.

"You too! Are you staying for dinner," I ask them.

"Probably. And Gajeel, you never told us you had a girlfriend! Now I have someone to ship you with," Mira says in excitement.

"We are not dating," Gajeel said. "We literally met two days ago on my job," he tells them. "And the only people who knows that Shrimp is here is Lily and ya two."

"Shrimp? I have you know I'm not that small," I tell him.

"It's just a nickname," Gajeel says. "I call Lucy Bunny Girl sometimes."

"Alright. But no one else can call me that! I don't like it! And you can't call me that more than once a day," I tell him.

"Whatever Shrimp," Gajeel says.

"I told you only once per day!!!"

"GeeHee," Gajeel says as he takes his shoes off and sits on the sofa.

Mira and Lucy come in as Pantherlily close the door. I stay hidden behind the wall as the look at me confused.

"Why are you hiding," Mira ask me.

"She's the reason why we needed your help," Pantherlily tells them.

"Oh. What books do you like to read," Lucy ask me.

"Anything that I can get my hands on. Gajeel's books weren't bad, but not my favorite either," I tell them as I check on the food. "My favorite books that I have read have to be The Hunger Games," I tell them.

"Really?! Me too," Lucy says. "What is your favorite part?"

"When they survived and went home," I tell her as I start to dish the food out. "Also dinner is done. Can someone help me bring the food to the table?"

"I can," Lucy says.

Gajeel was about to say something when she turned the corner and looked at me. I forgot...they don't know I'm a harpy let alone a hybrid. I wave shyly as Mira comes to see why Lucy was just standing there. She look at me and I start to feel nervous.

"I like your wings," Mira says to break the silence. "They are beautiful."

"Um...thanks," I say as I shift on my feet nervously.

"What to do think Lucy," Mira ask her.

"I can't believe I have a friend that's a harpy...this is SOO cool," Lucy says as she smiles.

"You think so? You are not scared of me," I say as I look between them.

"No. If Gajeel and Pantherlily trust you, then we should give you a chance," Lucy says. "And I can't believe that I'm trusting Gajeel..."

"Oí! I heard that," Gajeel says.

"So...want to start to eat," I ask them.

"Sure! Let's get the plates to the table," Lucy says as the help my carry the food out.

After we get the food there we start to eat and talk about different things. I told them about myself and how I met Gajeel.

"I'm just happy it was Gajeel that found my and not someone else who would just attack me," I say. "And this war is pointless. It should not have been even started."

"And why is that," Mira ask.

"I was there when the Dark Guild attacked the royal family during their picnic. I was the Princess's best friend."

"Is the princess ok," Lucy ask me.

"The last time I heard she was still in the coma. The prince is still in hiding and the king is still furious about them killing the queen," I tell them.

"That's bad. I feel sorry for the king. But why did her attack us," Mira says.

"The Dark Guild said it was an Official Guild. The king believed the person who lead the group of wizards. He didn't ask the council if it was true or not and declared war on all Wizards because of what happen," I tell them. "I'm now on a quest to stop this was and make sure the people who started this get what they deserve."

"Then we will help you," Lucy tells me. "It will take everyone here and more to find them and stop this before more people die!"

I smile and nod my head.

"Thanks. For not taking what I look on the outside and judging me," I tell them.

"No problem. You are part human anyway," Pantherlily says as Mira and Lucy look at me.

"You are a hybrid?!"

"Yeah. My mother was a harpy and my father was a human," I tell them. "Are you doing to stay the night?"

"Probably," Lucy said. "It's not safe wondering in the night outside of the rune around town, also people take advantage of others when it's nighttime."

"Ok. Should we get ready for bed soon," I ask them. "We can watch a movie and then go to sleep."

"Sounds like a great plan," Pantherlily says.

Gajeel helps me clear the dishes from dinner away.

"Thanks," I tell him.

"For what?"

"For taking me in and showing me some new friends," I tell him as I put the last dish away.

"No problem Shrimp. It was my pleasure," Gajeel says as I smile.

"So what movie are we going to watch," Mira ask as she looks at us.

"How about..."
