Akira's P. O. V:

Happy walks up to the edge of a cliff in Web Valley, located in Clover Canyon. As he does, his left foot hits a pebble, and it gets knocked into the chasm below. Happy gazes down the chasm.

"URGH, GEEZ!! Come on, Happy! Don't tell me you got us lost, again?! We've been walking for forever and a half, and we still haven't found Magnolia, yet! Why are we following a cat, anyway?!?!" Lucy screams in frustration.

Happy says questioningly, "What do you mean 'again?' How rude! didn't get us lost last time, so this is the first time I've gotten us lost!"

Lucy says in an exhausted tone, "First time or not, let's just try to make this our last, okay?" Lucy groans.

"Man, I want some food!!" Natsu groans.

Gray says, "We all do! Talking about it just makes us hungrier!"

Natsu yells at the brunette, "I can't help it if I'm hungry, jerk!"

"No, but you can stop running your mouth, can't you?!"

Master interrupts the boys argument, "Listen up!! ... We need some food!"

Glaring, Natsu and Gray yell in unison, "Yeah!! We know!!"

From my position crouching on the ground beside Erza, arms wrapped around my knees, and a depressed, gloomy aura swirling around me, I wrench a deathly glare round to Natsu and Gray, causing scared looks to cross their faces and to freeze in place as I seethe, "Will the two of you just shut up already?!?!"

It's been about two days since we'd fled Clover Town, after having stopped the dark guild Eisenwald, and defeated Lullaby. Even so, I was still depressed about all that destruction my teammates and I have caused. Last night, I had used my Crystal Magic to build a house for us to sleep in, much to Lucy's happiness.

One good thing that'd come out of this whole ordeal, was that Lucy had officially become my new friend. Usually it takes me a while to accept new members of Fairy Tail, but Lucy has grown on me rather quickly during the Eisenwald incident.

Both boys sweat dropping, Gray questions me, "You're still feeling depressed about what happened in Clover, Aki-chan...?"

"Yes! Unlike you guys, I was actually trying to avoid causing too much destruction!! I've never wrecked anything that badly in my whole life!" Lucy had been surprised, to say the least, when I'd first told her yesterday.

Grumble... Grumble... Grumble...

I blink my eyes when my stomach lets out a loud growl, but I don't complain like the others are. Instead, I growl back in annoyance, stretching out my legs as I cross my arms stubbornly.

Natsu and Gray give me pointed looks. "Looks like we're not the only ones who desperately want food," Natsu mutters smirking slightly.

"Well, I'm used to it from the six months Momo and I gave travelled before we'd joined Fairy Tail," I respond curtly.

Grumble... Grumble... Grumble...!

I scowl when my stomach lets out a slightly louder growl.

Natsu and Gray continue to stare at me, and I snap, "Don't even say it!"

My hunger wasn't really helping my mood much, either.

Erza says sternly, "Enough!"

Grumble...!
