"You were great back there!"
"Hm?"
"I mean with that man. You handled the situation so smartly. You weren't fazed or panicked even for a second! I'm really in awe of how well you did that."
"Well.." Lucy smiled. "You did hear what the man said. I do take care of such happenings around here."
"I'm really excited to fight alongside you." Wendy revealed excitedly. "I don't even remember the last time I was this excited to fight alongside someone.."
"Really?"
"Uh huh. I think it was when I came to know that I'll be in an alliance party with Natsu against the dark guild of Oración Seis. I had been wanting to meet him for a long time then."
"You've witnessed some tough times huh, Wendy?" Lucy asked, remembering the various battles that she'd fought alongside her guild.
"Aye!" Happy agreed. "Fairy Tail has been in some pretty tough spots, but we always made it out! Right Carla?"
"Yes of course! After all, we are the strongest guild in Fiore." The white female exceed agreed, smiling.
They continued walking in silence, alert for any signs of movement around them. After about fifteen minutes, Happy groaned and broke the silence.
"I'm tired!" He whined. "Just where is this monster?"
"We are in pretty deep." Lucy agreed. "I'm sorry Happy. I really can't say."
"The tomcat and I can fly ahead and look around. This way we could save some unnecessary wandering."
"That's a good idea Carla!" Wendy beamed. "Lucy and I can stay behind. I feel like I need a bit of rest anyway." She said, flopping down on the forest floor, leaning against a huge oak tree.
"Alright then!" Carla announced. "Come Happy. Let's go!"
"Aye!"
Lucy watched the two exceeds fly away, watching them fly further and further into the blue sky, until one couldn't even see them as tiny dots. She sighed, looking back down, only to find Wendy staring at her.
"What?"
"Huh? Oh. I was wondering if you'd tell me now?"
"Tell you what?" Lucy asked, confused.
The sky maiden sighed, getting up with a small grunt. "Jeez my feet.." she mumbled, and walked towards Lucy, standing right in front of her.
"About why you think adventures aren't fun."
Lucy was left stunned for a moment, her eyes widening. She didn't expect Wendy, of all people, to ask her questions about herself, and playfully joke around, like she was doing.
Despite the short moment of surprise, Lucy composed herself quickly, playing along as well.
"It's a secret!." She winked.
"You're too secretive for your own good!" Wendy pouted, crossing her hands against her chest.
"And you're too curious for your own!" Lucy giggled, squatting down a little to her height and patting her head.
"Hey! I'm not that short! Just half a head from you!"
Lucy straightened up again, looking at the pouting bluenette in front of her.
