   "I-I think they're..." Wendy panted.

   "Slow down!" Romeo called after her, clutching a cramp in his side.

   "Oh!" she skid to a halt, swiveling around to face him, "S-sorry, Romeo."

   "I'm. So. Out. Of. Shape," he huffed, "I'm definitely going to start working out after all this is over with!"

   Blushing, she giggled, "Now come on! They're just up ahead!"

   "Right!" he grinned and sprinted on after her. 

   'Natsu...' her eye brows were set in a creased line of concentration, 'Lucy... please be all right...'

   The hallway grew steadily darker and colder.

   'We need you...' her teeth grit together, 'All of Fairy Tail does...'

   Lucy sat curled up against the stone wall of the cell.

   "Hey, Luce?" Natsu stared at her, worry spreading across his face.

   "Yeah, Natsu?" she mumbled through her arms.

   "Are... you okay?"

   She smiled weakly without looking up, "I don't really even know anymore..."

   He gazed up at the ceiling, "Just... keep fighting, okay? Don't go giving up on me."

   Her eyes squeezed shut, "I won't."

   The door to the cell flew open.

   "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Wendy shrieked, shielding her eyes.

   "N-Natsu!" Romeo blushed and covered his eyes, "W-what are you doing?!"

   Lucy and Natsu gave each other a single glance before both of their faces lit up like a cherry.

   "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Lucy freaked.

   "YEAH!" Natsu nodded hastily, "WE JUST KINDA LOST OUR CLOTHES-"

   "AND THERE'S NO WAY THAT I'D DO THAT BEFORE I'M MARRIED!"

   "I THINK THEY GOT BURNED IN THAT FIRE KIND OF THING!"

   "AND I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT RIGHT NOW!"

   "AND NOW WE'RE OUT OF CLOTHING!"
