Chapter 17

"Thank god I went to the office and grabbed a spare key." She unlocked the door and opened it. The fresh sent of apple pie and vanilla filled everyone's noses as they stepped inside.

"Wow." Levy sniffed, "it smells like the holidays in here."

"I make sure the house always smells nice. Never know if I'll get any visitors." She placed Luna on her bed while Erza did the same with Cana.

"They worked hard today." Lucy said.

"Well one of them did."

Lucy giggled, "Goodnight guys."

Lucy closed the door and walked back to the crew, "I know Makarov is going to tear us a new one, once he figures out we left detention."

"We can deal with it in the morning." Gajeel said stretching his legs out on the couch, "right now, I need some sleep."

"And I need something to eat before I pass out." Levy said.

"The best I can cook you guys is Ramen noodles. I'm not that much of a cook." Lucy shrugged.

"Natsu is." Gray blurted out.

Everyone turned to Natsu, "you can cook Natsu?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah a little."

"Please, oh please! Cook me something!" Levy begged.

He sighed, "let me take a look at the fridge and pantry." He walked toward the kitchen and searched for ingredients to make a meal for the starving animals in the living room.

"Ok so this is what I gathered from the fridge and pantry." Vegetables, spices, and a few day old meat was sitting on the counter, "how about beef stew?"

"Sounds good to me! Just make it!" Levy said holding her stomach.

"Hold your horses woman!"

The smell of the stew flooded the house making everyone's stomach growl even louder.

"Hurry up Natsu! We're starving over here." Jellal said.

"Cooking takes patience... which is something you all don't have!" He turned the pot, mixing in the spices.

"So Lucy, I see you like to read." Levy said pointing to library.

"Oh yeah, I'm a huge bookworm. Whenever I get time I always pick up a book." She stood up and walked over to her library, "would you like to come and see?"

"Yes." Levy squealed. She started looking through her collection, "Oh my gosh! How did you get this book! It hasn't even been released in stores yet."

"Oh me and the author are kinda friends."

"You and Mirajane Strauss are friends?!"

"Yeah we used to know each other when we were in diapers. Then I moved here, but we never lost touch."

"I can't believe this. You are friends with the Mirajane!" She started fanning herself before she passed out, "I think I died and went to heaven."

"If you want to meet her I can get her to come to the school. She's a huge fan of fairy tail."

Levy stared at her blankly, "come again?"

"I can get her to come here."

"That's what I thought you said." Levy fell foward, fainting from fangirling.

"L-Levy?"

"Do we know what the plan even is, while we're doing this." Gray asked, tapping his foot nervously, "I believe the girl and all but, we don't even have a game plan."

"She has a name." Natsu turned off the stove, "and stop talking like this is basketball practice."

"All we need to do is do a little research." Jellal cracked his fingers, "and that is just in my lane." Jellal went to the computer and started working his magic.

"Bingo! Veena Müller, Born and raised in Berlin, Germany, Scientist, but doesn't say what field..."

"Just get to what we don't know." Gray said.

"Hold on, about five years ago she asked the government for permission to test on Meta humans, even though the government said no over the years she's been arrested for testing but has never been convicted."

"That's sick." Gray said, "it shows how corrupted this system really is. They're always going to be against us."

"This leaked a couple days ago from one of her labs." He clicked the link, "it says that she's working on the case with the falling ship."

"The one Luna was in?"

"Yep. Who knows what they could find out by observing that ship. They could find out where Luna is."

"We won't let that happen." Juvia said, "as long as she has us, we'll do everything in our power to protect her."

"Dinners ready!" Nastu said, with a grin stretching from ear to ear.

Everyone turned to him, shocked to see what he was wearing, "What?" He was wearing a pink apron that said cook the chef, and a hair net.

"Dude you look like a housewife, take that off." Gray said.

"You know what! I'm cooking on this hot stove for an hour making all you hungry beast dinner and nobody appreciates it!" He took off the apron and slammed it on the floor, "I'll be in the other room until somebody appreciates me!" He slammed the door.

"Drama queen," Gray scoffed, "He'll get over it, he always does." He turned back to the computer, "lets get more research on this lady. I'm going to take her down even if it's the last thing I do."
