3rd P.O.V

"Gajeel-kun", Wendy whispered.

"What's up squirt", Gajeel grunted.

"Did you smell something funny yesterday", she asked.

"Ya mean did I smell Lucy"

"Yeah", Wendy admitted shyly.

"Hey, whatcha guys talking about", Mira asked, walking towards the two.

"Wendy and I think we smelt the Bunny yesterday"

"Really", Mira asked, her blue eyes the size of the moon.

"I-I don't know. It was masked by a bunch of other different scents", Wendy stuttered.

"You guys should totally try and follow the scent and find her", Mira clapped happily.

Gajeel shook his head, "No"

"But why not", Mira pouted.

"Because if Lucy wanted to be found she could have come straight here", Gajeel explained, "She's probably just scared. It's been two years after all"

"Aw, who knew big bad Gajeel had a heart", Mira cooed.

"Course he does. He loves me after all", Levy piped as she walked up.

"Hey shrimp", Gajeel smiled, "whatcha doing"

"Nothing. What are you guys talking about"

"Gajeel and Wendy smelt Lucy yesterday", Mira exclaimed.

"WHAT", Levy screeched.

"Levy-chan quiet", Wendy shushed quickly.

"Oh sorry", Levy apologized, "But did you really smell her"

"I don't know", Wendy muttered.

"It was mixed in with a bunch of other different scents," Gajeel continued.

"Oh, that makes sense", Levy muttered

"Think she'll ever turn up", Wendy muttered sadly.

"Of course she will squirt," Gajeel smiled, draping his arm over Wendy's shoulder.

"Don't worry Wendy", Levy said, hugging Wendy, "She'll be back"

"Who will be back", Gray asked walking with Juvia and Lisanna.

"Lucy", Mira, Levy, and Gajeel said.

"WHAT", Lisanna and Juvia yelled.

"What do you mean Lucy", Gray asked calmly.

"Wendy and Gajeel smelled Lucy yesterday", Levy explained.

"WHAT", Gray yelled.

"Are you serious", Lisanna asked.

"I'm sick of repeating this", Wendy whined.

"Repeating what", Lily asked flying in with Carla behind him.

"How about we head to the Master's office. He'll want to hear this to", Gajeel suggested.

"Deal"

Wendy stood up and headed towards the Master's office.

"Hey old man you in there," Gajeel knocked.

"Yes come in," Master called.

The group walked in taking their seats. Gajeel, Wendy, Carla and Gray on the couch. Juvia on the armrest next to Gray and Levy on the other armrest next to Gajeel holding Lily. Mira and Lisanna stood next to the Master while he sat on his desk.

"What is it? You don't look so well-child", Gramps said, looking at Wendy.

"Wendy and Gajeel think they smelt Lucy yesterday", Lisanna explained. Gramps shook his head and looked back and forth from the two dragon slayers and Lisanna.

"Are you sure it was her", Gramps whispered.

"I-I don't know. It was masked by other scents," Wendy explained.

"I smelt Laxus though", Gajeel huffed.

"YOU WHAT", everyone yelled.

"Why didn't you tell me", Wendy asked quietly.

"I don't know. I assumed you smelt him to", Gajeel shrugged.

"Gajeel, don't assume things", Levy scolded.

"Why not"

"Just because", Levy countered.

"Plus my nose still isn't as good as the rest of you", Wendy snapped.

"Calm down squirt," Gajeel laughed. He had to admit, it was hilarious making Wendy and Levy mad. They were so short, they were like chihuahuas who have been denied their dinner.

A knock came at the door startling everyone. "Are you in there Marter", Erza asked from the other side.

"Yes, come in", Master said, crossing his arms. He was still upset with Erza. He thought she would stick up for his granddaughter. She never joined the teasing but never scolded or yelled at anyone who talked badly about her.

Erza walked in and her eyes widened. She didn't expect people to be in the Master's office.

"What is Erza", Gramps asked.

Erza cleared her throat and said, "There is a group of hooded figures downstair. One in particular demands to speak with you"

"Very well. Bring them up"

"Yes Master", Erza said, bowing.

"You should leave. I assume this person will want to speak to me alone", Gramps said after Erza closed the door.

"Of course Gramps", the group chorused. The Fairy Tail Wizards passed the hooded group on their way downstairs.

"Hello, Gajeel, Wendy", one of the figures whispered loud enough for only Wendy and Gajeel to hear.

"Gajeel-Kun did you hear that", Wendy whispered.

"Yeah I did"

"Hear what", Juvia asked.

"One of the figures said 'Hello Gajeel, Wendy'", Wendy replied.

"Do you think it...", Levy trailed off.

"I think so", Gajeel said, watching two of the figures enter Gramps office while the other stayed outside.

Lucy smiled. She hoped Gajeel or Wendy recognized her voice.

"Laxus and I will go in. The rest of you wait outside", Lucy whispered. She got whispers of 'okay' and 'alright'.

Lucy took and deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Come in"

Lucy and Laxus walked in and shut the door.

"What can I do for you", Gramps asked.

"Remember us", Lucy said, taking off her hood.

"L-l-laxus, Lu-lucy", Makarov asked in astonishment.

"Miss us old geezer", Laxus smirked.
