Lucy, Gajeel, Juvia, Wendy and the three exceeds were walking down a forest path to go to Hargeon.

"What will we do once we get there?" Wendy asked.

"We're going to train and get stronger. When we get back, they'll regret what they did to us." Lucy said, looking down.

"Why Hargeon?" Gajeel asked.

"Cause, we're looking for the Crime Sorciere." Lucy said, continuing their path.

It was nighttime so, the seven made camp in the woods.

Juvia laid on her sleeping bag, hugging her Gray doll tightly.

"Juvia wishes the real Gray-sama wasn't such a jerk. Juvia's heart wouldn't hurt so much," she said, squeezing her Gray doll even tighter.

"I wish I had a fish!!!" Happy cried, earning a laugh from Lucy.

"That's the first time you've laughed in awhile, bunny girl," Gajeel said.

Lucy stopped, "Yeah. It has, hasn't it?"

Suddenly, the group heard a rustling sound from the bushes. A girl with long, pink hair and a boy with a tattoo came out.

"Juvia?" they heard a girl say.

"Meredy!" Juvia smiled, running to hug the girl.

"Jellal-san!" Wendy shouted as she hugged the blue-haired boy.

"Wendy?" Jellal said.

"Mystogan?! Aren't you supposed to be in Edolas?!" Gajeel shouted.

"That's Jellal, not Mystogan..." Lucy sweatdropped.

"What are some of Fairy Tail's wizards doing here?" Jellal asked.

"It's a long story. Conveniently, we were actually trying to find you guys.", Lucy said.

"Juvia and her friends want Meredy and Jellal to train Juvia and her friends to become stronger," Juvia said.

"Jellal, should we take them?" Meredy asked.

Jellal shrugged his shoulders and Meredy smiled.

"We will warn you. Training will be tough and we'll have to move around A LOT. This training also might take awhile, maybe two, three years." Meredy said.

"We have all the time in the world, pinky," Gajeel said.

"Then, your training begins now!"
