She's wonderful~ Just to put that out there. xD If you like Adventure Time or even some Pokemon, check out her stories.

A knock on a small home sounded and the owner opened the door, still tired from his previous mission gone wrong. The owner was none other than Gajeel Redfox. He'd been assigned on a "special" mission with Natsu, which was actually nothing much but going over to the next town to receive a few packages. But because of the hot headed partner he had, some words were exchanged and taken the wrong way which led to a few minor fights... in which the entire train station was destroyed.

The only thing Gajeel wanted to do when he got home was lay in his bed and take a nice, long nap. He'd just gotten home and taken a shower. He was about to get in the bed when he heard the knock and it aggravated him that someone was interrupting his sleep.

"I'm sorry, sir. But this area is under investigation and we need you to evacuate your home for now."'

In front of Gajeel were two men from the Rune Knights of the Magic Council. The Fairy Tail mage narrowed his eyes. He just got here and now he was going to have to leave his home once more?

"What's wrong?"

Lily, Gajeel's exceed, padded over in his altered form which was the size of Happy and Carla. The Rune Knights repeated their message and Liy frowned but understood. There was a level of respect and he knew that the Knights wouldn't be doing this unless they had a very good reason for it.

After a bit of convincing on Lily's part, Gajeel begrudgingly packed a bag and left his home in the care of the Knights. There was no need to put up a fight and give the Magic Council a reason to hate Fairy Tail more than they do now.

It was pretty late at night and Gajeel knew that he'd need to find somewhere to sleep and that he'd most likely have to choose a friend's house since the money from the mission went for fixing the station.

The first place he walked to was Wendy's apartment. The sleepy girl opened the door and rubbed her eyes. "Gajeel-san? What are you doing up so late?"

"I need a place to sleep." He sighed.

"Um..." Wendy glanced around the room and turned back to hm apologetically. "I don't think tonight is really a good night. Carla's not feeling so well and I don't want you all to get sick."

"That's fine." Lily smiled. "Thank you for thinking about us, Wendy. Have a good night."

The two left and crossed Wendy off their mental list of trustworthy friends. Gajeel crossed his arms as Lily recommended someone else they could go to - which made his partner less than pleased.

They walked over a canal on a bridge and into the neighboring forest to find a decent looking shack. Gajeel refused to get close to it so Lily rolled his eyes and walked towards the shack, knocking on the door. A few more knocks later and there was still no answer.

Eyes narrowed, Gajeel kicked the door in. "Hey! Hothead!"

The entire shack was empty with no sign of Natsu or even Happy. Groaning, the two leave the property and head over to their next person - Lucy Heartfilia. Gajeel thought she was perfect, considering te fact that everyone just walks into her house anyway.

When they got there, despite Lily's silent protests, Gajeel walked right through the door and took a few steps before stopping completely. He was right. In the room was not only Lucy sleeping in her bed, but the following:
