~~~~Raphna
  After the fight, Natsu, Gajeel and I were taken to the infirmary. I got bandages around my body. I felt horrible but Gajeel and Natsu must have felt worse. They had bandages everywhere! Even over their mouths.
  We were all in the guild as we talked about the resent events.
  "Mnnnn." I heard Natsu mumble.
  I looked at him and giggled. "You know I can't understand you Tsu."
  He looked like he was smiling even with the bandages covering his face.
  I sighed as I looked at how badly Gajeel and Natsu were beat up. Yeah, I was pretty bad. I have to use crutches to walk. Natsu and Gajeel must feel horrible.
  Everyone was having a small party and having fun. All until Erza came in. Then everyone froze.
  "It looks like thanks to Polyushika, his life is no longer in danger. Don't worry, the master's going to be just fine."'Erza announced.
  "Thank goodness! I was really worried for a while there...!" Lucy smiled.
  "Heh, the old man's not gonna go out that easy." Gray smiled.
  "Still, his years are certainly showing...if he's put under too much stress, his condition could worsen again. I'd like everyone to keep that in mind." Erza said.
  "Why do you think I haven't gone to see him?" I sighed. "If he sees me like this, he'll go nuts!!!"
  "Are we really going to do the Fantasia Parade with the guild in this state?!" Elfman asked.
  "Well, the master wants it to go ahead so..." Mirajane explained. "You could say it's in situations like this that we need it more than ever."
  "Juvia is looking forward to seeing the Fantasia Parade as well!" Juvia smiled and clapped.
  "You're going to be taking part, not watching." Cana sighed.
  "WHAA?!" Juvia asked. " but Juvia only just joined the guild, so..."
  "With so many people injured. Apparently they're getting anyone and everyone who can still move about to take part." Happy said eating a fish.
  "What?! You mean me, too?!" Lucy gasped.
  "SOMEONE BREAK MY LEGS!!! NOPE IM GOOD!!!!" I screamed.
  "Well, take a look at them. Can't exactly take part like that, can they?"

"Yeah, like hell, and how do you plan to do that then, huh?" Gajeel asked Natsu.
  Natsu continued to try to talk and somehow Gajeel understood him.
  "What's that go to do with anything?" Gajeel asked.
  "...how does he do it...?" Lucy asked.
  "But, well, at least it looks like...our trouble within the guild...is over and done with for the moment." Erza mumbled.
  Suddenly, the doors flew open and my brother, Laxus walked in.
  "...Laxus..." I mumbled.
  "LAXUS!!!"
  "YOU...!!!"
  "Sis...Where's the old man?" Laxus asked me.
  "WHY YOU...YOU'VE GOT SOME NERVE, WANTING TO SEE THE MASTER AFTER THIS!" Someone yelled.
  "DAMN RIGHT!!" Someone else yelled.
  "LEAVE HIM BE GOD DAMN IT!!!" I yelled as I limped my way over to him. I put all my weight onto my crutches. I turned to Laxus. "He's in the medical office through there."
  "OI RAPHNA...!!" Someone yelled.
  Natsu ran over to Laxus and stood in front of him.
  "Natsu..." I mumbled.
  Natsu pointed a finger at Laxus and he started to talk but it was all muffled by his bandages.
  "'I'm not settling for this two-on-one crap! Next time, you're going down for sure! You better fight me again sometime Laxus!!'...he says." Gajeel translates like his muffling was some different language.
  "'Next time'...? But I thought you won...didn't you?" Lucy asked.
  "I'm with him on this one...I'd rather not call that a victory. That guy's a monster. If he'd been around during the battle with Phantom...it gives me shivers just thinking about it." Gajeel said.
  Laxus walked right on pass Natsu and ruffled my hair as he walked down to the infirmary with a wave.
  As Laxus walked off Erza turned to us. "Now then, everyone, let's get preparations underway for Fantasia!"
  "Hey, are you sure it's okay to let Laxus through there like that?!!" Gray asked.
  "It'll be fine." I replied.
  "Wait...Mira!!! Why are you wounded?! Who did that to you?!" Someone asked.
  "Natsu...why the hell are you wounded than Laxus is...?" Lucy asked.
  Natsu mumbled again and Gajeel translated it. "'Nah, this is nothing'...he says."
  "Natsu...THATS BLOOD!!! YOURE BLEEDING!!!" I screamed.
