Hey! Here is the next chapter. I'm sorry it took awhile. Please enjoy!

"I can't believe they talked me into this," Gray mumbled from his seat at the bar. Gray and the group that were going to go training decided to tell master about going training for a couple weeks this morning. So far, the only people here were Gray, Gajeel, and Cana.

Cana was in the back stacking beers in one of her suitcases. She stopped by the bar where Gray was sitting to ask him what kinds he would want for the trip. Which he answered with anything. And Gajeel was talking to Lily about things they wanted to practice, because Lily would go with Gajeel. He didn't mind Lily. Carla got on his nerves a lot and Happy wouldn't stop complaining, but Lily was polite, smart, funny, and he was fine with him going with them.

"This is how you're saying goodbye to everyone," Laxus said as he sat down next to Gray. Gray just shrugged. He didn't really care about saying goodbye to anyone.

"When did you get here?" He asked Laxus, ignoring the question.

"About five minutes ago. I got stopped by Natsu as soon as I walked through the door. I'm surprised you didn't hear him yelling at me, you must have been deep in thought," He answered. "Is anyone else here?"

"Gajeel, Lily, and Cana," He answered. Laxus looked at him.

"You're not very talkative today," He said bluntly. Gray just gave him a half glare. Laxus just rolled his eyes.

"You're finally here, it took you long enough,lightning freak" Gajeel said as he sat down next to Laxus.

"Are you trying to pick a fight with me, metalhead," Laxus said, glaring at Gajeel, who glared back.

"Maybe I-"

"Will you two shut up," Cana said as she sat down next to Gray. Laxus and Gajeel just glared at each other.

"So, what time are you guys leaving?" Loke asked. Gray looked at him.

"Once everyone gets here," Laxus said.

"Wait, are you coming?" Gray asked.

"Cana already asked but Lucy told me I wasn't aloud to go, she's changed," Loke said. "I'll probably join you whenever she isn't on a job because it will probably get boring since none of you are going to be here,"

"How are you- oh yeah, I forgot about your powers," Gray said.

"Yeah freeze brain, he can teleport with his celestial powers," Gajeel said. Gray glared at him.

"Welcome back from your mission everyone," Mira's voice called out. They all looked to where she was standing and talking to the new Team Natsu.

"It went great! Ur is super strong, she took out like half the bandits!" Natsu said.

"I wouldn't say half," Ur said rubbing the back of her head.

"Well, you sure beat more than the ice princess would have!" Natsu exclaimed. The glass that was in Gray's hand shattered.

"Get me when everyone else is here," He mumbled before he left the guild from the back door.

Cana and Loke were feeling bad for Gray, and were feeling disappointed by the way Natsu was acting. Whereas Gajeel and Laxus were angry and pissed at Natsu for saying that.

"What happened?" Freed asked from behind them. Him, Bickslow, and Evergreen had just gotten to the guild and they noticed their friends expressions.

"Just Natsu being a rude jerk to Gray," Loke sighed. Freed looked disappointed, Bickslow looked upset, and Evergreen looked like she was going to bore a hole in Natsu's head with her glare.

"Well, we're all here now. We should go tell master we are leaving," Cana said with a frown, still upset over what Natsu said.

"I'll go get Gray," Laxus said while standing up.

"I'm coming," Gajeel said and went after Laxus. Unnoticed by them, Master Makarov was watching and listening to the who thing from the second floor. He just frowned down at them and looked at Natsu. He shook his head in disappointment. He decided to wait in his office for the group of seven to ask him whatever they wanted to ask him.

"Where do you think he went?" Laxus asked Gajeel.

"Not a clue. Maybe if we walk farther we can find his scent," Gajeel said. Laxus nodded. They continued walking for a couple minutes.

"I think I can smell him," Gajeel said stopping. Laxus stopped and tried to find his scent also. "This way," Gajeel said. And the both started running to where Gray was. When they got there they saw Gray punching a tree. He had an angry and sad expression on his face and his knuckles were covered in blood. Laxus and Gajeel looked at each other with a look. They both knew they had to act normal because if they sounded like they felt bad for him, Gray would just be even more upset.

"If you keep doing that, that tree will probably fall over," Laxus said, crossing his arms. Gray turned and looked at them. He had his eyes hidden behind his bangs.

"What do you want?" Gray asked in a pissed off tone.

"Don't get all mad at us, we didn't do anything," Gajeel said. Laxus hit him in the arm with a look that said not to get Gray even more upset. Gray just grumbled something that neither of them could understand.

"Everyone is here. We were coming to get you so we could all go and talk to gramps," Laxus said. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go," Gray mumbled. The three of them walked back in silence with Laxus and Gajeel giving each other glances now and then. Laxus sighed.

"Are you sure you're alright?" He said. Gray stopped walking. He shrugged.

"Yeah," He whispered. "I just don't want to talk about it," Gajeel bit his lip while Laxus was trying to think of a way to make them forget about what happened.

"Well, let's go tell gramps and then we can leave," Gajeel said. Gray and Laxus nodded. When they went in the guild Cana, Loke, Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen were all giving Gray sad looks.

"Okay, we're all here so let's tell gramps," Laxus said leading the way to go upstairs. He knocked on the door to Makarov's office.

"Come in," They heard. They opened the door and all went in. Gajeel looked at Gray and noticed he was still looking at the ground. He shook his head and decided to focus on Laxus and Gramps talking.

"All of us are going to go training for a out in Fiora for a little while," Laxus said. Master looked over the group and stopped when he noticed Gray was upset. He sighed and finished looking them over.

"Okay, you may go. You must all watch over each other and don't get to hurt, understood?" He said. Everyone nodded. Cana, Bickslow, Gajeel, Loke, and Lily were grinning while Laxus, Freed, and Evergreen kept a straight face. Gray was still staring at the ground.

"Also, Loke, if Lucy ever summons you, you must go. I do not want her getting hurt because you're not there, understood," He explained.

"Yeah, understood master," Loke said with a smile.

"Let's go!" Cana said with a grin. She started leading everyone out of the office and to the front doors of the guild.

"Stay safe brats," Makarov whispered while watching them exit the guild. Laxus was the last to exit the guild, and before he did, he turned around and gave Makarov a smirk, while Makarov just smiled back.

Wow this took a long time. I hope you enjoyed it. Now for the next like, two chapters, I'm going to skip around and write about what each of them are training and them battling each other. I'm also going to talk about something big that's going to happen so I hope you enjoy that. I think this story will only be around fifteen chapters long, but I don't know. Well that's all! Please follow, favorite, and review!
